Deserving of Credit.

Tie ladies of the public library are
certainly deserving of much credit and
praise for the active interest they have
taken in encouraging literary attain
ments lin the city. Besides giving
their time and talents to establishing
the library, they have devoted much
time to editing the Woman's Edition
of the Times-Mountaineer that is to
be issued in short time, which has
been a considerable tax upon their
time, and as the net proceeds of the
publication are all to be donated to
the library fund, the work of the ladies
who have had its management is cer-
tainly very commendable. Next Mon
day the ladies will open a business
Office on Second street, in the rooms
formerly occupied by the Elite milli-
merry rarlors, where they will receive
subscriptions ana orders for advertis-
ing space,

Mr.. Arbuckle Explains,

ED. TINES -MoUNTAINEER:
As r. 81. Weber, of The Dalles, has
seen fit to make a personal fight on me
in this campaign, and is grossly mis-
representing me about. business
transaction between he and 1, while 1
was acting as his agent about two
years ago, selling fruit trees. He is
representing that acted dishonesty
with him, and that would not settle
or have an accounting with him,
which is not true. Now in justice to
myself wish you would publish the
following receipt of settlement signed
by him some five months after, as fol-
lows, to-wit:
1.-THE DALLES, Or, Jan. q, 1897.
"Received from W. 81. Arbuckle,
S35 in full payment and satisfaction of
all accounts, demands or chooses in ac-
ton of Whatever kind or nature now
existing between W. 81. Arbuckle and
r. II. Weber to date, and hereby ac-
knowledge full and complete satisfac.
tion FROM W. h. Arbuckle of all
orders for fruit trees taken by him
while acting as agent for me, both
orders delivered and to be de.
livered, and 1 further agree that no
other or future charge of any kind or
nature shall be made against the said
w. II. Arbuckle by me or any one in
my behalf on account of said agency
or orders, or on account of any of said
business. r. r.. WEBER"
This settlement was made and this
receipt given about five months after
ceased working for Mr.. Weber and
after he had had ample time to tnvesti-
gate my agency fully, and if anything
was wrong to have found it out. Now
who is wrong in this matter?
W. 81. ARBUCKLE.

lgro feel that the law protects hiuI
IN lnsOlencc to the white race. If
MT. Abbott is sent to prison it will
ruin the life Of his sister, an csti-
mablc young lady, who has stood
by her unfortunate brother
thrOuhout his troubles The press
fraternity, which always upholds
the law, should in this case make
an earnest appeal in behalf of the
young man.
Bunkie Blade.
The case Of Mr.. S. y. Abbott a
newspaper man Of Shreveport who
was sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary for killing a negro,
has attracted universal attention
thro' the state. 1t is the general
opinion that Judge Land; before
whom the case was tried was too
harsh in his sentence.
Abbott is a man of intelligence
and occupying good social po-
sltlon and has young sister no
is almost heart broken over the
misfortune which has befallen her
brother.
We think that the sentence i'm
posed on Abbott out of all proper
ton to the offense, and therefore
trust that he will speedily be par
dOned and restored to his friends
and family.
