Hit the Preacher.

While preparations for labor demon

Mai. Beale met Rev. l.. NJ. McDer-
mott of the Baptist church and asked
him if he was satisfied with what he
was doing The minister replied that he
was more than satisfied to defend the
down -trodden miners. One word led to
another, and finally Mr.. McDermott
stated that it was his pleasure to defend
The laboring people from the
operators, who were simply robblng
them and would continue to do so.
Beale demanded to know if he was to
be called thief, and Mr.. McDermott re-
Piled eff you are taking from your mi
ners without fair recompense, yes.
Mai. Beale Immediately struck McDer-
mott singing blow on the side of the
face. and the minister, without offering
to lift his hand, asked him to ''smlte
the other cheek.
Mai Beale went before justice OF
the peace at once and paid his fine.
A large and enthusiastic parade, fol
lowed by mass meeting which was
addressed by Rev. Mr.. McDermott of

At the trial of DR. w r. Badger in
New Castle, last week for practicing
dentistry without having attended
dental college, it was discovered that
the new law regulating dental practice,
passed by the Legislature July9, repeals
all former laws ON the subject, and as
the new law does not 90 into effect until
October 1 Badger was released. The
local dentists paid the costs of prosecu-
ton.
The law recently passed by the legis-
lature relating to the payment of cccu-
patton or voting tax by non property
holders, will prove a great inconven-
ience to collectors of taxes in rural dis
tIicts. The law was made to prevent
politicians from paying the taxes of
voters in order to receive their votes.
1t has been the custom for ward politi-
clans to secure the names of large num-
bers of voters who were likely not to
attend to their taxes in time to secure
vote, and ON the last day for the pay
ment of taxes to pay for all whom he
believed he would be able to handle.
The new law will compel the collector
to refuse payment from any but the
taxable without written order from
the same, which other order must be
kept ou file This applies to taxes of
non property holders only.-Ex.
