With broad grin he handed one
to the DR.. The young man is
still wondering why one kind Of
gold is not as good as another.
When the DR.. refused to under

gold the young man became in
dignant and said that the watch

all it needed was a little rubbing

Jim Jones, a freckle nos Jay
from Jonesville, called at the dom
icile of the Rambler last night
after he bad retired to his straw
mattress and had just begun to
get the old clothes and tow sacks
warm with which he was covered.
Jones said that he and Malindy
Smith were about to get married
next week. We told Mr.. Jones
that he and she might 60 and get
married all they wanted to; that
it was none of our business, and
that we did not care anything
about it. We we're mad, but he
said that he only wanted a notice
put IN the ARGUS about it. We
hope this is notice enough.

TWO NOTABLE MEMORIALS.
Famous Song Writers Remembered in
Enduring Marble.

On Sept. II monument to the mem
DRY of Stephen Collins Foster was UNI
yelled in Highland park, Pittsburg.
Mr.. Foster composed the music and
wrote the words of over 125 popular
songs and melodies. Among them are
Way Down Upon the Shawnee River,
My Old Kentucky Home, Come Where
My Love Lies Dreaming. He also
wrote the music which is now used for
John Browns Body Lies a-Mouldering
in the Grave.
The base of the statue is granite and
is fourteen feet high. The figures are
in bronze The poet is seated, holding
n his hand a book and pencil. Sitting
at his feet is an old negro playing a
banjo. The composer is evidently
seeking inspiration from the negro
music. In this connection it may be
said that some kindly disposed church
people have lately erected marble
slab over the paupers grave of Rev.
Edward Dunbar, the author of the
popular religious song There's a
Light in the Window for Thee,
Brother Mr. Dunbar's name became
a by-word in the places where he was
known. In 1867 he was arrested at
Leavenworth while engaged in bold
ing a series of revival meetings and
taken to Minneapolis, where he was
tried for bigamy, convicted and SEN
fenced to the penitertiary for nearly
four years. In 1890 Mr.. Dunbar APP
piled at the Coffeyville, Kan, Jail for
lodging. He was i'll and died the next
day. Papers in his pockets revealed
his indemnity and showed that he had
tramped all over the country. What
ever the mans .failings, it was but
just that he should have a little
recognition for the song which has
given light to many wanderer.

About two years ago, however, 1t

give Mrs. Smith any relief. Her hus

Wvshinaton Timber.

A single acre Of Washington timber,
recently measured by the Division of
Forestry, contained 218,69O feet B. NJ.
of red fir, 1000 feet of hemlock, and
5000 feet of cedar; making a total
stand of 236,690 feet. The smallest
fir on the acre was three feet in
diameter, and the largest eight feet.
The height of the forest approximated
300 feet. The hemlock was scaled
down to 20 inches in diameter, and
had it been scaled to II or IA inches,
rs customary in the East, the stand
would have been several thousand
feet greater, this acre was measured
near Wilkeson, Wssh., about 20 miles
from Tacoma.
The average stand per acre for 13l
acres measured by the same party
near Buckley, in the same county,
was 74,402 feet of red fir, 3O,105 feet
OF hemlock, 5000 feet OF cedar, 2,175
feet of spruce, and 593 feet of white
fir, total stand OF 1926 feet. In
these measurements no trees less
than two feet in diameter were scaled
No allowance, however, was made in
the above calculation for Gull. The
13l acres were taken in various parts
OF q township and represent with fail
accuracy the stand throughout the

TAYLoR'S FIGHT AGAINST LAW.

The highest Kentucky court has af-
firmed the legality of Gov. Beckham's s
election to the governorship of Ken
lucky, and has declared Taylor a
usurper. The decision was unani-
nous, two Republican members of the
court voting favorably to it. Since
the very beginning of this unhappy
controversy, Taylor has constantly as
serted his desire for a peaceful solu.
tion Of it. He has suggested compro-
misses which, as fast as acceded to by
the Democrats, he has repudiated. He
has appointed representatives to at
tend conferences and then dishonor-
ably refused to abide by the agreement
OF his own supporters. More than
once he has said that if the Kentucky
court decided against him, he would
not take the case higher. Now he an
nounces that it shall 70 to the Su.
preme Court of the United States, he
in the meantime holding the Office
which he has usurped. The Taylor
lawyers have thirty days to complete
their appeal to the Federal court, and
there is little doubt but they will avail
themselves of all the time. There
will then be further delay in the
hearing, and in the decision by the
court, so that it is probably safe to es.
innate that the dilatory methods
adopted by this political pirate will
keep him in an Office to which he was
not elected for from sixty to ninety
days yet to come. Indeed there is
grave reason to suspect that his true
purpose, and that of the Republican
party, which is backing him, is to so
prolong this controversy as 10 give the
Republicans who have control of the
federal machinery An excuse for throw
ing out the vote of Kentucky in the

publicans of the State, by their servile
acquiesce in all Of Taylor's lawless
acts, and by their announced determi-
nation to send him as o delegate TO
Philadelphia, and to renominate him
next fall, have assumed responsibility
for his course. President Mckinley,
though lacking courage to openly de-
clare his position, has in more than
one way manifested a purpose to be
guided by partisanship only. While
all this is going on in political circles,
the officers of the law are drawing
closer and closer the net which brings
Taylor and the assassin of Gov. Goebel
into close proximity. The Democrats
of the State OF Kentucky deserve the
very highest credit for their self-re-
straint and patience during these try
ing times.
