A growing deficiency confronts
the government each month, and
how to provide for it is a question
that gives the administration much
concern. 1t seems tn high tar
if bill will not produce any more
revenue than low tariff bill Some
day the people will learn that you
cannot eat cake and have it too.
Or in other words you can't collect
a revenue off of goods that are not
shipped and sold into this country.
Revenue must be raised by taxation,
direct or indirect.

Our nimrods, Walter Huffman

price paid was 81 and $2.25 per
head.
There will be a grand ball at H.
S. Porter's Christmas eve, (Decem-

the supper and Mart Glass the mu-
sic. This will insure a good time
to everybody that attends. Mart
has composed some waltzes this
winter that would do credit to
Wagner. Come and hear them.
This vicinity is getting to be
great sheep raising locality, nearly
every man having from rs to IT'S
head. Sheep are great land clean
ers. They will kill out the fern
and small brush, and the grass will
start right up in its place. Land
that two or three years ago was
considered worthless is today good
sheep pasture, and sheep feed over
it daily. Every farmer in this
county should have some sheep if
it is only few. They will soon
increase and then you will have a
better cleared place, grass in the
place of fern on your land, and dol
lars in the place of cents in your
pockets. Get some sheep.

BOLD ROBBERY AT YAQUINA.
The S ore of T. w. German Broken
Into and About $500 Worth of
Goods Stolen.

Another robbery occurred at va
quina last Saturday night, or early
Sunday morning, and as result
Nh. 7. W. GoImau, one OF the
principal merchants of that place
and the owner of the only hardware
store is out about $500 worth of
goods.
The robbery was discovered on
Sunday morning. and Mr.. German
at once wired to Toledo to the
Sheriff. Deputy Sheriff Ross went
down at once, and began an inves-
tigation of the case. He found that
the store had been entered by the
front door. The doors had been
pried apart by chisel or some Sim
liar instrument, and thin piece of
steel of some kind had been pushed
in crowding back the Yale lock, al
lowing the door to be freely opened.
Once inside the thief or thieves ap-
peared to have taken things cody,
taking their own time to select just
such goods as they deemed most
valuable. The goods that Mr..
German is positive were stolen
makes up quite list, and there
may be more goods stolen that he
has not yet missed. The stolen
goods consist of II shotguns, re-
volvers, 9 watches, about S dozen
pocket knives, three pair rubber
boots, two slickers, half a cheese,
some crackers, some canned fruit,
lot of ammunition and tobacco.
The store had been carefully gone
over, the thieves taking only GER
tain class of articles. Some of the
guns taken were very valuable, one
of them being a hammerless Parker
worth at least hundred dollars.
Several cf the others were also
high priced guns. Some of the
watches were also quite valuable.
The pocket knives were the best in
the store, among them being sew
eral of the John S. Holler brand
that were of extra quality and re-
tailed foI ST.. so each.
The work bears the marks oi
professionals, and indicates that
two or three persons were engaged
in it. The guns alone would have
made quite a load for one man tc
have gotten away with, and il
would have been no small job fol
two men to have carried the good:
away and secreted them. The TAX
ing of the boots and slickers woult
indicate that two or perhaps three
persons we're engaged in the work
The thieves would not be likely t.
take any more clothing than they
could wear, and the food taken in
dicates that they were only laying
i'll a stock to last them until they
could get out of the country.
The officers believe that the good
stolen were taken by two o.
three persons and taken up or dowl
the river in boat, and have beer
cached away some, where they viii
leave them until the chase ha
quieted down, when they will b'
taken away and sold. To bear thi
theory out, the thieves stole abou
six or seven yards Of oil cloth off O
roll of cloth in the store. Th
idea is that the goods have bee,
wrapped carefully in :hat cloth t
keep them from getting wet AM
rusting.
The officers have two or thre
suspicious characters under suspi
. cion, but no arrests have yet bee
made.
Mr.. German seems to be unfoi
tunate in having his store broke

SAN QUENTIN, CAL, May 3o.-The
States big prison is still in the hands OF
the convicts. The mutiny is not abating
whit. 1t has spread its contaminat1ng
influence among the prisoners in the out
side gangs and where it will end is the
problem that is worrying the officials.
Four days of bread and water have not
broken the spirit OF the refractory felons-
not bit of 1t. The riot. which resulted
in the wrecking of the prison dungeons
yesterday afternoon, has only added fire
to the smold ering fuel The incident from
convict standpoint was a victory. The
inmates of the dungeons accom- plished
their transfer to cells much better lighted
and ventilated and they are now more
defiant than ever. This, in the face of the
apathy and uneasiness with which War
den Hale and his subordinates view the
situation, acts as an antidote to faint
heartedness. Possibly in a day or so the
mutineers will take 1t into their heads to
give vent to another grievance by demol-
ishing the interior of the tank houses
The infection of rebellion is manifest
ing itself in many OF the most trusted in
mates OF the prison. Those who still
retain the liberty OF the yard and the
privilege of attending the dining-room
are aiding their comrades in the cells
with such supplies of food as they can
secretly carry away from the tables at
meal times. At dinner-time to-day, as the
ROAD squad walked through the yard they

pieces OF bread, in spite OF the remon.
STRANGE of guard and sentry. Any at

1t seems like paradox to say that the
convicts Of San Quentin exercise privileges
that would be the death of free man.
No gang of people could set up con-
certed action to hoot and insult the
officers and visitors to any other State
Institution. The gamut of the curses
hurled at the heads of guard or other
prison officer is blood-curdling in it's
ferocity. Lynch law would justify the

on Theodore Durrant, as the Governor

The Governor read and re-read the mes

for several minutes he broke the silence
by saying:

Hale to-day"
Then he corrected the statement by add
ing: II mean that l was not a: the tele-

When pressed for a direct reply as to
whether the statement from Sacramento
was correct, the Governor said:
Il shall render my decision in the Dur

row. You can say that l declined to dis
cuss the matter now."
The Governor further said in reply to
direct questions that the Durrant case was
closed; no more witnesses would be

on the questions presented, but that his
decision would not be announced until to-
