New Railroad Syndicate.
The following dispatch from Cleve-
land, Ohio, will be read with interest
here: According to a story which
came out here today, a new railroad
syndicate has been formed by the
Goulds, E. II. Hartman and John w.
Gates. The new syndicate has now
under its contract the Chicago 81 AL
ton and its allied interests, the Kansas
City Southern, the Wabash, the Mis-
souri,. Kansas & Texas and other
properties in the southwest country.
These loads are to be put into pool
with Texas roads. the object being to
lessen the competition and to make
possible new through service to the
Texas territory, which has not been
obtainable out of Chicago hitherto.
The syndicate is to reach into this ter
ritory as we'll as control certain west
ern situations by buying in the Clover
Leaf and then making Overtures for
the possession of the Wheeling & Lake
Erie. -

MACHINE TYPE Settlers
Said to Be Hard on Operators.

The work of typesetter in mod
ern printing Office is very exacting,
particularly if he runs a linotype or
typesetting machine. 1t requires the
closest attention and rapid and SYM
pathetic action of both brain and hand.
This machine works much like type
writer. Such workers fed on ordi.
nary food give up because of nervous
prostration, some in short time, and
some are able to stand it little
longer.
One of these workers says: Il have

Sunda,. Nov. Is. is sufficiently origi-
nal. W. lind the same set of people
who have figured in other New Eng
land plays. but their motives are
simplicity itself. A young woman
who has been betrayed by means of a
mock marriage finds refuge in the
house of an honest old New Hamp-
shire farmer. Her child is dead and
so are all her hopes in life. Never
theless, she wins at once the love of
the old farmers only son. The latter
is engaged to be married to his
cousin, his fathers pet. Neither Of
them cares for the other and the I'M
happy waif who has been taken into
the family circle seems likely to find
husband and happiness in fact, un>
til village busybody reveals her
notified past. Then the father with
some Justification, sets his foot down
and turns the girl out of the house on
winters night. Before she goes,
however. she is able to denounce the
author of her wrongs, who happens
to be counting the very girl whom the
old farmer is intent upon marrying to
his son. This is the climax of the
play, and as the curtain falls we see
the heroine going out into the storm,
pursued by the farmers son. The
last act brings the farmer to a full
realization of the situation, the I'm.
happy girl is TRANSFORMED into the
heartily welcomed bride-to-be of the
farmer lad, and her betrayer is Kicked
out rather too politely, but none the
less thoroughly. As whole the story
| is we'll told and the third act is ration.
ally developed and the dramatic eli.
max as strong as one could ask for.
1t must be said that the play aims for
| wholesomeness and genuinely human
sentiment in its every line.

One Of the very latest lies

One of the very latest lies of
the present compaign has been
sprung against Assessor Wadsworth
in that portion of the county whose
citizens petitioned to be restored to
Benton county. These citizens are
being told that Mr.. Wadsworth has
declared that he fought tn ell peti-
tion and Furthermore, that he would
make the signers of said petition
"pay for it., II is hardly necessary
to pay any attention to a cheap
game like this, but THE LEADER
desires to expose some of the mean
little acts of a few INSCRIPTIONS
members of the opposition party
and 10 the credit of the opposition,
it may be added, there are not
many such men in its ranks in this
county. Mr.. Wadsworth has
friends in every part of the county
who know the report is without
foundation; and the taxpayers in
the territory where the report is
being circulated certainly know
that in his official dealings with
them Assessor Wadsworth has been
honest and impartial.

1t is well-known fact that it is hard
struggle for the schools of Lincoln coun-
ty, as well as in other portions of the
state, to obtain sufficient public money
to have more than three months school
out of each school year, and the districts
that have greater number must main
tain their schools by a special tax, In
some districts of Lincoln county the
people have taxed themselves heavily in
order to educate their children, and they
have just kick coming when through
any neglect of the district or county
officers they are compelled to lose a por-
ton of this money and that the patrons
of number of the school districts of
the county, including the cities of New
port and Toledo, have lost portion of
these special taxes, may be seen by an
examination of the records of the county
clerks Office. For the year 1894 the
following special taxes were voted and
levied: City of Newport, mills; City
of Toledo, 5 mills; School District No.
l, l MILL No. 2, 2 mills; No. 4, mills;
No. 7, mills No. 10, mills; No. "a, 6
mills; No. q, 1S mills; No. 32, 10 mills
No 81, 2 mills. By the tax sale OF 1894
large amount of delinquent property
was sold for taxes, and the same is being
gradually. redeemed. Now, when any
property thus redeemed lies in any of
the above-named school districts, GER
tain portion of the redemption money,
according to the number OF mills levied
in the district where the property lies,
must be paid over to the county treas
, urer for said districts, and the same is
known as a special fund, and is paid by
the treasurer to the clerk of the proper
school district or the treasurer of the
city to which it belongs. County Clerk
Lutz has collected several hundred dol
lars of such redemption money during
his administration, and the books do not
show that he has ever turned in dollar
for any school district in the county. If
he has turned this money over to the
treasurer, as by law required, he cer-
tainly has not turned it into the various
school districts, as by law required, and.
the school children of this county have
thus been deprived of their rights. In
no manner whatever can Mr. Lutz ex-
plain away this matter. If he has
turned in this money to the treasurer
for the general fund, then he has de-
prived the above-named districts of their
money, and if he has not turned it in to
the treasurer at all, he must still ack-
knowledge that the school districts have
not received their money, and that he
has it in his possession. Since the ques-
ton of ability has been raised, we
are perfectly willing to discuss it. We
have no stronger proof of our statements
than the law and the county records.

Bernard DAILY lost some property,
but he is still a rich man, and the
effort being made to create SYM

for instance, $50, 900 in Lake county

drug store is still doing business.

During recent session of county
court County Judge Stewart in
formed County Treasurer Hyde
that the latter was "short" with the
general fund about $1,000. Mr..
Hyde was very much surprised at
this bit of news, but an examina-
ton Of the books of County Clerk
Lutz showed that Treasurer Hyde
was short" on said fund 81 ,o52. r..
That would have been bad-very
bad-had it not been for the fact
that the treasurer held the clerk s
receipt for that amount, under date
of June I, I899-about six months
prior to the discovery of the big
Shortage" The error was cor
rected, and Mr.. Hyde supposed that
ended the trouble, but now the lie
is being circulated in some of the
back precincts that Treasurer Hyde
was really short in his accounts,
and that County Clerk Lutz kindly
helped him out of the trouble.
Treasurer Hyde certainly was not
to blame because the county clerk 5
books were "short," but it was the
county clerks plain duty to ack
nowledge his error and set Mr..
Hyde right before the people. In
stead of dong this, he has per-
mitted the lie to live and grow.
1t is needless to state that Mr..
Hyde's worthy opponent, James
Mcdonald, is in no way connected
with these unfair tactics. THE
LEADER regrets that it has become
necessary 10 give these facts to the
public. The blame must rest with
the originator of the trouble.

George Bethers, the republican
candidate for county school super
intendent, has taught us months
in the public schools of this state.
He has completed the examination
for teachers papers. He now holds
state life diploma, the highest
grade paper issued by the state of
Oregon. More than 40 young people
have completed the eighth grade
work in his schools. Many of his
graduates have taken out certificates
and take rank among the best teach
ers in the county. These are facts,
and that little circular letter which
IS being quietly used against Mr..
Bethers cannot change them. If
the school superintendent has failed
to do his duty, it is not necessary
to make the fact known to the dear
people through the medium of a
circular letter, bearing no signature.
The author of the letter would
better come to Toledo, accompan-
led by his evidence, and proclaim
the fact from the front door of the
courthouse. Then he will find the
people with him. 1t is to be re-
GREETED by all lovers of fair play
and clean politics that such methods
should figure in this campaign.
