pardon which was recommended by
Judge L. Stillwell. who sentenced
James. The prisoner is past 60 years
old. He was married last winter to 2
young girl and was living in APPARENT

man lost no time in getting q revolver
and after waiting several days for Gull
bertson to appear, met him on the
street in Ncodesha and shot him dead.
Some of the people of Neodesha and

James, although he pleaded guilty to

Captivating Costumes.


This seasons summer girl is a pic
turesque creature If she is in touch with
the newest fashions, and her prettiest
dresses are fine compliment for their
designers. Quaint would be the word
for these dresses but that, instead of be-
ing anything old-time about them, they
are decidedly up to date in every small
particular. Their characteristics will
be better understood from examination
Of the accompanying sketch than from
the most careful description. The
summer girl is much quoted as playing
sad tricks with masculine hearts, and
IL this years batch of coquettes is to be
dressed in any such fashion as this the
poor fellows heartstrings will surely
be in a tangle until autumn. Coming
to the details of the two dresses shown,

Soft waves the magnolia its groves o.

There the bright eye of nature. in mild

Sweet strains wildly float on the

The calm-flowing lake round that

Where, wreathing their garlandS or

Glad measures still weave to the sound

The strike Of the tailors in Philadelphia
aud New York is about ended the greater
number Of employers having acccded to
the terms demanded by the strikers. lhey
should have made the concession demand
ed in the first place. and thus prevented
much loss and suffering, Disputes in re-
gard to wages should always be settled by
arbitration and boards should be estab
lished for that purpose. There should not
be any combination of employers to keep
down the wages of the employees, and no
force work attempted by strikers.-
Employees should net be unreasonable
employers mean. Fair wages for fair
days work should be the rule. Where
money is not being made, there must be
economy or failure and the question for
the employees then to determine is whether
half n loaf is better than no bread, We
discourage all strikes, but we think If ever
one was justifable, that ono was the tall
ors' strike. Competition is certainly sharp
ct this time but II all employers paid the
same wages for the same class Of work,
there would be the same profit to every
/. one and consequently but little induce
ment to cut prices in order to make GUS
toners. The interests of employer and
employee are closely connected and there

Democratic candidate for Mayor Of our
city. The way he sc9Jpnl in the votes

their supporters deserted them and joined
the standard of their successful rival. The
doctor may yet realize it is one thing to he
nominated and another thing to be elected.
His Republican friends are rather an uu-
certain quantity While they like him as
aprivate citizen. they may not be willing
to mako him Democratic leader. Per-
Eonal attachment may he strong. but
political considerations lir not raSily over

Comrade Reilly then sang ''The Cottage

with rapt attention.
Col. Woodman, whom as every one
knows, Ia always ready and willing to do
his part in anything that will make the
hours pass away pleasantly, recited o
poem in reference to a young man who
got married; he did we'll, but at last his
wife died, and still 1t went well with him.
Finally Cupld's dart struck him again,
and again he got married to what he
thought was perfect angel, but he soon
wished himself single Tho manner in
which 1t was recited was encorsd to the
echo.
Comrade Reilly sang humorous piece

Comrade Gilmore read an article show
ing how General Sheridan won his first

A sumptuous repast was provided for

they did ample justice. To enumerate
the menu Is u task that your reporter is
unable to do. There was plenty and to
would complain about not having great
variety, would certainly be about one re-
move from an idiot.
On motion of Chaplain Guthrie vote of
thanks was rendered to Comrade LeFevre
and family for the handsome manner in
which the veterans were entertained, and
wished them all long, happy and pros
porous life.
That the vets enjoyed themselves to their
ne tts' content is evinccd from the fact
that they could not say enough in praise
OF Compade LeFevre and family even
after they arrived in Wilmington, which
was about nine o'clock.
Comrade Woodman expressed the hope
that the comrades Of Phil. Sheridan p ost
would spend each succeeding memorial
day just us they did on Monday, everybody
s'eming 80 contented, and satisfied they
had done their duty when they decorated
and fired over the graves of their deceased
comrades and then met in a social manner

Comrade LeFevre has a splendid farm,
beautifully located, with a fine view of the

The Receiver Of Taxes should tese the
constitutionality Of the act created by the
Legislature appointing twelve county tax
collectors for New Castle county. Mr.
Horace g. Rsttew was elected by the
people to be receiver of county tax for a
period Of four years at yearly salary Of
$4,000 and $1,000 additional allowed for
clerk hire, besides ten per cent. allowed
for all delinquent taxes. After Mr.. Rettew
had haen elected to the office the Demo-
Gratis say the system is unsatisfactory, and
the Legislature Is asked to pass bill
taking the collecting of all taxes, except
property tax, out Of the hands of the tax
receiver and creating twelve tax collectors,
two for Wilmington and one in each Of
the ten hundreds In the county, whose
salaries shall be $1,000 each. In other
words the change was made to create just
that many more offices, at the expense of
the taxpayers Of the county. The Levy
Court six years ago was Republican body
and appointed tax collectors to take the
place of the Democrats who then held
office, but the Democratic Legislature
thought differently and abolished the old
way of collecting taxes and created the
office of Receiver of Taxes, making John
7. Dickey the beneficiary of the act. The
plan worked all right as long as Mr.. John
T. Dickey held the office, but as soon as it
was taken out Of the hands of the Demo-
Gratis, the old way OF collecting the taxes
was preached and then, passed by the
Legislature on Saturday and tho collec-
tors were duly appointed on Monday by
the Levy Court. The people were taken
into camp and will now have the satisfac-
tion of footing the bills created by the ap-

burn.
