VALENTINO Party.

The Prentis cluO gave a most en-
JOyable social to a number Of their
gentleman friends, at the home OF
Miss Ethel ShOwalter In the Fifth
ward Tuesday night. The affair was
rather Informal in nature, though
none the less successful and enjoyable.
A pleasant pastime was a test Of
craftsmanship with tiny arrows, with
valentines for targets. Other games
entered into the features OF the eve
ning's entertainment. Music, dane
ing and cake walk were enjoyed.
Partners for supper were chosen by
matching paper hearts which had
been cut in two irregularly. The
refreshments were most delightful.
There were present: Misses Dora
Summerville, Bertha Showalter, Ethel
Showalter, Edna Robbins, Florence

Vivian Mutt Free.

NlVlaE Mutt, convicted at the pres.
ent term Of The district court of man.
slaughter in the third degree, went 10
his home in South Haven this after
noon, a free man. The case against
him was dismissed upon the order Of
County Attorney ]. NJ. Ready, Judge
Mcbride having granted the motion
OF Nuts attorney, J. A. Ray, for a
new trial.
Judge Mcbride had had Judge Rays
motion for a new trial under advise
ment Tor some weeks. Judge Ray had
originally set up some sixteen or
eighteen objections to the conduct of
the trial, and the verdict rendered by
the jury, chief among which was that
the verdict of the jury was not justi.
fed by the evidence submitted at the
trial. He withdrew all Of the objec-
tiOns except the one above stated,
allowing the Judge to render a deci.
sion on that point alone.
Judge Mcbride called up the motion
in court this morning and announced
his decision, sustaining Judge Rays
motion for a new trial. Thereupon
County Attorney Ready moved that
the case be dismissed, explaining that
the state was unable to make out a
stronger case than it had before. An
order was accordingly issued by the
court dismissing the c. s. and direct.
ing that Mutt be released from jail.
Mutt was released at IL o'clock and
went to his home in South Haven
this afternoon.-JOurnal, Wednesday.

and appreciative audience The selections
were all rendere with skill and in man
ner highly gratifying to the friends of the
performers and pleasing to the audi
ence. The singing of Miss Dinsmore show
ed not only that she has voice of rare
sweetness, well trained, but that she ap-
preciates and enters fully into the spirit of
her pieces. This was shown by the vicacity
with which she gave the Magnetic Waltz,
and the feeling displayed in her singing of
the more serious number given as an encore
Miss Johnsous work at the piano showed
unusual Interpretive power in a young mu-
sician, combined with rare musical abilities
reinforced by conscientious study and prac-
tice. Judging from the efforts of Miss Little
field at this recital she is in fair way to at
tam more than local reputation as an eo-
cuuonist. She possesses in a marked de-
gree the ability to portray the various emo

OF tne w estern Hancock Muncipal Court
by Deputy Sheriff A. A. Gem and State

complainant. 1t is claimed that Treworgv

became known through the discovery of the
woman's body, about two weeks after her
disappearance.
ireWorgy Is wldower. He has been en-
gaged IN business mere for several years as
proprietor of tin shop and second hand
goods store He is about 40 years of age.
AT the hearing this afternoon the most i'm
portant witness was Joseph Fogg, jr.. a Ia

or write, and knew only what was told him
On tuesday night, Sept 26, about 9 80 went

he would help him to do Job. He said he

until Treworgy told him not to say a word
about 1t, or he would serve him the same
way. Didn't ask any questions about the

go very near the spot or say anything about
it; saw the body after it was found. First
told the story about three weeks ago to one
Louis Tapey. Detective Tracey had been
to him (Fogg) and told him that he had a
warrant for his arrest in his pocket aud
would lock him up if he did not tell all he
knew. Had worked for Treworgy since,
and been in his place of business.
Public sentiment is about evenly divided.
Fogg is not regarded as reliable by many,
and he was weak at points in his cross-ex-
animation, but was not shaken on the prn-
cipal facts. Treworgy is in the custody of
the County Sheriff, Hooper, at the Robinson
House He has been taken to the Jail in
Ellsworth.
Yesterdays dalies reported that Fogg had
admitted his testimony was false. The case
IS still a mystery.

Legislative Jottings.

AUGUSTA, March A. 1899. On March 9th
King of Caribou introduced a bill which
would strike severe blow at Belfast 1t is
to repeal that portion Of Sec. Al of Cha,
that obliges return to towns of the excise
tax on railroads in proportion to the
amount of railroad stock held in such towns.
Belfast gets from this source about S4 400
annually and the proposed change in the
law would mean dead loss of that amount.
Such proposition comes with very poor
grace from the representative of section
which is receiving so much more from the
State by Way of the mill tax than it is paying
in State taxes; a section, too, in which are
situated the great timber lands of the State
which, enormously proftable as they are to
their owners, pay but little tax. 1t said that
a prominent official of the State owns
timber lands there which paw him one
hundred dollars per day-thirty thousand
dollars year; which are worth nearly half
million dollars and upon which he is pay
ing only oue-half Of one per cent, tax. The
farmers Of this State are paying on an aver
age about two per cent. taxes on valuation
"hioii 10 III 'oiE LHhuy luSUdHCtS more IMAM
the property viii sell for; and yet there are
millions of dollars that pay no tax whatever
The tax laws of this State need revision 1t
is the most important question before the
people to-day and very many members of
the legislature regret that it has not been
done this year. The bill to raise She tax on
railroads will probably go over to the next
legislature, as there is not time now to
properly consider so important matter and
other things need looking after as well as
the railroads.
