A TEAPOT Tempest.

A remarkable investigation" was
ended last Friday before the county
commissioners. Among the bills was
one Of 81. % for a pair Of shoes pur-
chased for poor woman OF Abilene
by Marshal Favor in his capacity OF
city poor commissioner County At
torney Kane brought the charge
against Mr. Favor that he had bought
the shoes for the woman to get her
vote and disputed the bill, Mr..
Favor at once demanded an investiga-
tion and over an hour was spent on
the matter. 1t was shown that the
witness who was said to have re-
ported the matter positively denied
having ever said such WIS the case;
that the woman absolutely needed
the shoes as she was in most desti.
tute circumstances, that the shoes
we're bought for her week before she
registered and indeed every fact
showed that there was nothing what
ever in the charge except an attempt
to besmirch the character OF Mr..
Favor. He was triumphantly cleared
and vindicated and the commissioners
allowed the bill approvingly. 1t was
mere tempest in a teapot and based
on nothing but gossip, mighty small
foundation for "ollicial investiga-
tion.n Mr.. Favor has done his duty
conscientiouly and well and the re-
suit Of the liasco amply proves it.

The Lutheran church had a song

with white flowers, lilies predomi

Congregation Honor an Atlanta
Young Lady Charged With
Burplarv

Atlanta, Ca, July IA charge of
burglary was brought by Mrs. w. r.
Jester against Miss Emma Dimon last
Friday, but all information about it
was suppressed until today, when there
was a sensa tional demOnstrat ton by the
CONGREGATION of the fashionable st.
Pauls NJ. E. church, which was in
spired by the accusation. Miss Dimon is
the daughter of Rev. s. H. Dimon, pas
tor of st. Paul's, and Mrs. Jester is her
Sunday school teacher. Both are high
Iy connected and have been identified
with church work in Atlanta for years.
Some months ago jewelry to the value
of $3.50 was stolen from the residence of
Mrs. Jester, and detectives who We're
put to work on the case arrested two
negro servants, whom the court ulti-
mateIy dismissed.
The matter was dropped until last
Friday, when Mrs. Jester invited Miss
Dimon into her house, and, after open
the immediate return of the stolen arti-
cles.
The young woman went into Mysteries
and had to be carried to her home. She
told her parents what ha Il hannenNd end
Dr. Dimon Immediately waited upon
Mrs Jester who declined to see HIM.
He then communicated the facts to the
officers of the church, with a recommen-
dation that they make an immediate
and thorough investigation, and the
good deaconS told their families ALI
about it.
Today both Mrs. Jester and Miss Di-
mon attended the church, and just be-
fore DIR. Dimon began his discourse, al
most the entire congregation left that
part of the auditorium in which Mrs.
Jester was seated and crowded around
the Dimon pew. At the conclusion of
the ceremonies several hundred people
made ii a point to shake the young Ia
dy's hand. and she held quite prolong-
