The Floral Fair.

The third annual fair of the La
dies Library Association was held
ut the Broadway Opera House
Thursday and Friday.
The hall was decorated very ar
tistlcally and the display of flowers
was magnificent. The attendance
was not as large rs the merits of
the fair demanded. The ladies in
charge and those who contributed
flowers arc to he commended for
their efforts in presenting to the
FAIR one of the most beautiful dis
plays of flowers ever brought to-
gcther. The ice cream and cake
were perfection.
The China and art departments
are deserving of special notice.
The Monte Vista band donated
their services Thursday evening

4 Legal Question.

The taxes on the Sampson Drug
store for 1893 were never paid,
which. with the interest, Hccumu-
lated amounts to $230. For this
amount Treasurer Station issued a
distraint warrant and Thursday
threatened to enforce collection of
these taxes from ]. w. Cupples,
claiming lien on the fixtures.
The Sampson Drug store was
sold by an order Of the court and
L. 4. Winter became the purchaser.
Mr.. Winter sold to Stroup aud
McClimans and the latter sold his
interest TO DR.. Packard, aud j. W.
Cupples bought Of tho latter firm.
If personal tax IL a lien on prop
erty 1t becomes . difficult matter
to identify the goods assessed in
1893 other than the fixtures, and il
would seem that the fixtures would
be holden only for the amount for
which they were assessed and no,
for the drug stock.
Mr.. Cupples declined to pay the
back taxes and tho seizure has
been delayed for the present.

the correct one. but the effect ON the
fellow startled me considerably.
His eyes grew staring. and n terrified.
hunted expression came over his face.
CHANGING furtively around and draw
ing back q step or two, his hand went
to his hip-pocket.
AS the CLINT of shining object
caught my eye, drew suddenly back to

by the attack. then dropped on my

fastened from the house and ran
around, searching for him. but no trace
could discover. He had vanished COM
pletely. His sudden disappearance
puzzled me.
soon gave up the search, put the pis-
toll in my pocket, and started briskly up
the road toward the Morley place.
II the station agent was such des-
perate fellow as to draw and shoot at a
word, what could Florence have 20 do
with him?
II was strange that Sonntag should
know the fellows right name and not
know the danger attendant on calling
him by IL. My lawyer had seemed sur
prised when / stated that the fellow
had told me his name was Hunter. In
nll probability Sonntag had addressed
him by the name of Skinner many
times, and the fellow had not resented
Il, or the lawyer would have mentioned
the fact. Why, then, should he resent
in so fierce and deadly manner my use
OF his right name2
Perhaps Florence could tell me some
thing about Mr.. Hunter, Or Skinner. At
least IL was right should warn her
against him.
With these thoughts fitting across
my mind, ! soon arrived at the Morley
home, and, entering the gate. went up
the long graveled walk. Before an OPP
portunlty was allowed me to ascend
the steps leading to the piazza, my name
was called.
