The mayor then stated that any one
wishing to speak on the subject could
have the opportunity. DR.. Bright was
called for, and he came forward and made
an eloquent plea in favor OF the ordinance.
'If these men," said he, "cannot make
their living in six days OF the week, and
at reasonable hours, they ought to 60 into
other business. Ii you vote down this
ordinance you arrogate to yourselves
more wisdom than the legislature which
passed laws prohibiting gambling. The
only argument against this ordinance is
that if passed it will drive business out OF
town. 1t is not 30, know it from exper-
fence. Statistics show that business in
creases as saloons 90 out. The whiskey
saloon robs the grocer, the dry goods man,
the hardware man. the shoe man. Every
dollar that goes into the whiskey till is a
robbery of every other business. We
only ask protection Tor our homes, that
the Sabbath shall be kept inviolate, that
these gambling devices shall be kept out.
Revs. Lindsay and Lackey both made
a few pointed remarks favoring the ordi
nance.
Dave Keith was opposed to the ord
nance. He believed it was fight be
tween nine churches and five saloons
that nine.tenths OF the preachers hac

that an attempt to enforce it would cnta
heavy cost upon the city.
Upon motion OF Gum the ordinanc
was laid over until the next regular meet

The matter OF using money on hand t.

finance committee with power to act.
Fred Hart was given permission to tax

AGAINST THE ORDINANCE.
To the Hon. Mayor and Council Of Abcr-
deem, Wash.

Gentlemen We the undersigned bus
ness men and citizens OF the city of Aber-
deem do respectfully protest against the
passage OF the proposed ordinance gov
erning the sale and disposal of liquors
within the city of Aberdeen for the reason
that we believe the present ordinance
new in force in relation thereto sufficiently
protects the interests OF the city, county
and state.
We would also represent that we be-
lieve the saloons of this city are run in an
orderly manner, and we believe further
regulation of same, other than that in
force according to law under the present
ordinance, would work to the disadvant-

The Supreme court last wcel, affirmed
the tax case OF Benn VS.. Chehalis county,
which the county had taken up on appeal
from the Superior court.
The suit was brought April lith, 1894,
by Mr.. Benn to have his property equally
and justly taxed. The property consisted
OF ll76 separate tracts, mostly lots lying
in Central addition, Weatherwax &
Benn's addition, and the original plat OF
Aberdeen. but did not include Mr.. Benn's
residence nor any of his houses or acre
age, upon which he had paid the taxes.
The assessed value was 1920; the
value placed upon them by Mr.. Benn was
$36, 165, the excess OF taxation being the
difference between $2S27.S so and $l4l7 .52,
which latter sum had been deposited
with the superior court OF this county
last fall upon its decision in favor Of Mr..
Bonn. Just what effect this decision
will have upon other taxes in this county
for the year 1893 we can not state. 1t
would seem, however, that no recovery
could be had for take, which had been
paid without protest.
There are several other eases pending
before the Superior court which will be
affected by this decision, among them
that of Capt. WeathcrwaX. The Ocosta
Land company we believe also has Il sim
liar suit.
The new spring line at Nauf-
mans will comprise French and
India Satins, Ducks, Crepons,
Llama Cloths, and other novel
ties too numerous to mention.

Detective J. I. Donaghy of Philadel-
phia, arrived on the Pullman after the
negro Pitts, alias Brown, now in Jail here,
and wanted in that city. The charge is
as before stated, and the story in brief is
Last November q house in Philadelphia
was set on fire and sum between $4,000
and $500 was missing. The party did
not report the loss till few weeks ago,
when suspicion attached to Pitts wife, who
worked in the house when set on fire. 1t
was found that Pitts and wife had hired
and fitted up n house in fine style, and
had lived there, till becoming frightened,
had fled. They were traced through
Maryland, North Carolina and Florida,
and it was found that they spent lots of
money. Finally Pitts wife and another
man and woman who had been helping
them spend the money were caught and
are now under arrest at Philadelphia.
They have virtually admitted setting the
fire and stealing the money. Pitts fled
North and was traced here by his sending
for his trunk, etc. Mr.. Donaghy, who is
very pleasant gentleman to meet, says
that Pitts probably has some of the money
hid away, and that he is very slick
mig" The detective also says he is glad
the man is landed as it has been a tire
