County Auditor
An Expensive Luxury

once again are the taxpayers OF this
county brought face to face with
the fact that saloons are an expensive
luxury 10 those who never patrunize
them aS well aS tOthose who do. Last
week in saloon row at Wurthins a
man by the name of Landgraf was
stabbed twice in the back 10y Dan
Nets who was subsequently arrested
on a charge Of assault with an intent
to commit murder. The preliminary
examination was held before Judge
Tom Davis. States Attorney c. +.
BENEDICT prosecuted and A. B. Carlson
appeared for the prisoner. 1t was the
merest accident that the Stabbing did
not prove fatal, if it does not, for the
murd derouS looking knife was only pre-
vented from reaching vital spot by
striking bone each time ii was driy-
en- int the victims body. Nets was
bound over TO the February term of

as well as those who do not favor Sa-
looms. His board at county expense
for long period. an expensive trial,
and probably also the fee for an attor-
ney to defend him, are among the
penalties the taxpayers Of the county
must pay because the people Of Worth
ing the business men of Worthing-
insist on having saloons "to draw
trade. The News is pleased To note
the stand taken by Judge Davis and
II the business men OF the village
would join hands with him, they could
easily drive out the saloons as Canton
did some fifteen years since News.

The Winter Fashions

The prophecy that velvet and velyc-
teen would be high in favor this sea
son has been fulfilled. A gown, a
blouse or a wrapper Of velvet achieves
a distinction in attire not possible TO
attain in any other material Fancy
effects in yclveta and ve}Vetcen are used
for the chic shirt-waiSt costumes.
The new 2ibcliDcs, which are a favor
ite material for the elaborate dress
gown, are more beautiful than ever,
and their softucSS aud pliablity adopts
them admirably % the flowing lines of
the new modes Rich satin-faccd
c'u.hs will not easily lose prestige, and
tbs season they are 50 fashionable.
straw color bun and pale pink are
among the delicate tints for which
much favor is shown.
one OF the faucics of the season is
opcn-work embroidery, In either Eng
ljsa or Madeira fashion, over a soft,
contrasting color FIR nges are more

trimmings braids are most in demand
and they possess innumerable attrac-
tive features.
The separate blouse is more popular
than ever, and the unlined shirt waist
made Of fine. faced cloth bids fair to
be a popular garment
Sloping shoulders are distinctive
feature Of the new modes. From The

And knew its image passing iair

Feeling the call of a strange, sweet Tyre;
And answering dumbly 1t longed and langusheo
Strove and thrilled with keen desire
It yedrned sing of the blue sky over,
The wondrous yielding of night to day
OF the silver stream. and the scent OF the clover
Drifting from uplands far away.

OF the MESA ge brought by the April rain;
When the biackbrd pped in its branches slender

Down st-olled lad TO the vista golden,
Heart a-chme with the happy world.
And stirred by a sense of craftship olden.
Stopped where the tree its green unfuried

Fashioned and trimmed it, stem and tip:
And the voice of the willow, wildwood. reedy,
Gushed the touch of boyish lip!
