PloUs MAN PLEADS GUILTY
ProcIaims His Faith in God ms Judge
Fines Him for Violating
Law.

You cannot separate me from my Christ"
said w. s. Damn in United States district
court yesterday, where he was awaiting
sentence for sending questionable advertis-
ing literature through the mails. Christ
will take care of me-" re concluded.
well, you plead guilty, don't your
asked Judge Munger.
"oh, the irony OF JUSTICE Grated Damn.
What a paradox, these laws! Not guilty,
l am guilty. Innocent, l am chastised. l
do plead guilty to mailing this mater, but
/ do not plead guilty to breaking any law,
moral or Of man."
"In that case we can take care Of you
all right" responded the court. "Ill fine
you s25 and costs"
Damn is an interesting and interminable
talker, and though he had pleaded guilty
as charged, he kept the ears Of the court
unnecessarily for many minutes, just be-
cause 1t was impossible to stop his now of
language. His attitude of absolute piety
he has maintained ever since he was ar
rested by a United States marshal. In
fact, when that official brought Damn be-
fore the United States district attorney
the man had a bible in one hand and the
evidences of his guilt in the other.
Damn was ever thus, according to the
postal authorities. When he first got out
the advertising matter which the officials
objected to having transferred by means
of Uncle Sans canvas sacks he came in
n~ocently to Inspector Sinclair and showed
him a circular advertising an improved
safety pin of special advantages. He asked
Sinclair II he might send that through the
mails and the inspector said: Certainly,
that's all right"
With this assurance Damn went home and
added to his circulars another, mailing
them all together. This last was an adver-
tisement Of goods of a decidedly shady
character. 1t was not long before his ad-
dition to the circular letters was detected.
Dam lives at 1916 Cunning street.

THREATEN THE WHOLESALERS
County Commissioners over
the withdrawal of n Ger
ain Complaint.

There we're two excited county commits
sioners at the court house about 10 o'clock
yesterday morning and before they had been
there many minutes there we're three more
who were little less perturbed. The whole
sale grocery house Of Meyer q Raapke had
made a protest upon its assessment, saying
that II had been assessed much too high
compared with the assessed valuation Of the
Paxton & Gallagher company and the Nc
Cord-Brady company stocks. The protest
was received by the commissioners and a
date set for hearing. Early yesterday
before Commissioner Connolly and Ostrom
had put in an appearance, the representative
of Meyer & Raapke was at the court house.
Here he found Commissioners Harte, Hofelt
and O'Keeffe ready to hear the complaints.
He asked permission to withdraw his com
plant and without objection from any of
the three representatives OF the county he
was permitted to take the complaint from
the file and carry 1t away.
About fifteen minutes after the grocer
had gone Commissioner Ostrom arrived,
ready to hear why the assessment Of Meyer
& Raapke was too high or why the other
assessments were too low. He was told
that the complaint had been withdrawn
with the consent OF the board and for about
five minutes he discoursed upon the folly
Of commissioners who permitted people to
withdraw protests once fled when the
board desired to make Just assessments and
incidentally to get all Of the personal prop
erty now escaping taxation on the list.
But l thought they had a right to with
draw It, as long as It had not been heard, :"
interposed Mr.. Hofeldt. Mr.. OKeefe and
Mr.. Harte said nothing.
Just about that time Commissions Con-
molly came in and when he found that the
complaint had been withdrawn he Joined
Mr.. Ostrom in protesting.
II will make a motion that we recon
slider our action by which the complainants
we're permitted to withdraw" he said.
IL will vote to reconsider" said Mr.. Ho-
feldt.
II know a better plan than that" said Mr..
Ostrom. They are out of court now, but
there will be someone who will enter
complaint not only against the Wholesale
grocers, but against the wholesale dry
goods houses and against about twenty
| others. We better get into the matter right
and open up the entire personal property
question"
1t was understood that no further action
would be taken until the appearance of the
dissatisfied taxpayer who is to complain
against a large. number of the firms in the
jobbing district.
