CAPT. PINES CASE.

thousand dollars. The bank asked
Clerk Pire to get them an order fol
the amount of the overdraft and In
short time he filed an order with
the bank for the amount of the
oyerdraft signed by hinself as
clerk and acting mavor. The
council now insist they knew moth
Ing at all about this order and
claim 1t was issued without their
knowlege or consent. The money
was paid out on checks issued by
the collector and that part of 1t Is
all straight As near as can be
figured up the clerk got 81, 700
from the past year on raised orders
written for larger sums than was
allowed.
About the Collectors Office.
1t has been suggested by couu-
Gilman or two that hereafter the
collector must keep his odce in the
City Building and attend all coun-
ell meetings, so no more false orders
will be cashed. If the councilmen
who are indulging In this talk will
just read the city charter they will
6ud out they cannot compel the
collector to do anything of the kind.
He has to collect the money due
the city and pay 1t out upon orders
issued by the council and signed by
the Mayor and Clerk. It's the
councils business to see Its records
are correct. It's the mayors place
to see that the oders he signs are
correct, but the council cannot COM
pei collector to stay In the City
Building nor attend council meet
ings. The collector has all he can
do to attend to his own business and
It's not his business to look after the
duties ofthe mayor, clerk and couu'
clk If the mayor and council will
look carefully after their end of the
business then collector will not get
any bogus orders or checks.
Trees for City Building.
When arbor day comes and shade
trees are planted around the City
Building, 1t has been suggested that
a few Pine trees be planted. Then
the interior of the building could
also be decorated with Pine In the
safe, with the mayor, council au :
ditors. bankers aud newspaper men
sitting around sleeping while the
clerk Is flching the city cash and
fooling the whole crowd. 1t would
be a good reminder for future
councils to come. This suggestion
Is free.

This morning Captain Piue was
taken to Wheeling by Co astable
Cutler to answer the habeas corpus
proceedings. The pubic seem tc
have very exaggerated ideas about
the motion. A good many think II
means that his trial on the charge
of forgery Is to be held In Wheel
Ing. Others thiuk he is being taken
up there and will get i'll so be eau
be kept ir a hospital In that city.
Others don't, but they think this
move Is something deep, dark and
Exceedingly smart and will result
| In the Captain being turned free.
The facts are the matter Is very
triflng compared to what the pub
lie believes 1t to be. As our readers
know the clerk was arrested for
falslfying the city records and to
answer this charge he has given a
bond In the penalty of two thous
and dollars for his appearance to
answer any indictment the grand
| jury may fiud against him when
it meets the I4th of this month
After giving this bond he was
arrested again upon a charge of
having committed forgery. He
declined to have a preliminary
hearing and the justice has asked
him to give bond In the penalty
of s. 600 for his appearance at
Middle bourne 10 an indictment
upon the charge of forgery. Mr..
Pines attorneys insists that all OF
these charges grow out of sub
stantially one thing, namely,
swindlipg the city. that as he had
given bond for his appear ance once

be required of him. So that Is
what Is being done today In Wheel
Ing. Judge Willis will decide
~hsther or not 1t Is legal to de-
mand this So. 200 bond from him
or If In his judgement he thinks 1t
Is too much he will reduce the
amount, or let 1t stand as 1t Is
Pine will be returned here and If he
cannot give bond will be taken al
once to jail. So there Is nothing
particularly alarming about the
move. 1t does not do anything
about his trial. At best his bond
may be reduced but that Is all.

A PROLIFIC LIAR

Is a most beautiful liar, but
we suggest he tries to tell
a little truth now and then. There
Is no franchise to be given In SIS
tersville as it has already been
given The County has already
given the right of way In the coun-
ty. The Pleasant county court
has granted this W and N. Co., a
franchise across the roads of the
county only, and such a franchise
isn't worth four cents a dozen.

EXPERTS COME HIGH.

The county commissioners are still
paying experts fifteen dollars a day 10
ferret out errors in the county
books and discrepancies in accounts
that may have occurred within per
iOd of six years The experts have
been engaged at their task since last
April. and as they have a
good thing, it is likely that they VIII
work it to the limit. According to t1e
terms Of the contract one OF the prln-
cipals engaged by the board was TO
be present all the time during the i'll
vestigation. but in violation Of this
agreement most Of the work has been
done by subordinates, the principals
being after bigger game in Baker City
Portland and elsewhere. The COM
missioners made the mistake OF pay
ing the experts month by month in
stead of waiting for the completion
of the job, and the effect of this is
to release the investigators from the
strict letter Of the contract and per-
haps to absOlve heir bondsmen from
responsibility for failure CT the eX-
perts TO discharge the obligations
they assumed under the contract.
So far as has been given out the
experts have discovered nothing
worth mentioning. Up to the time
that Frank Nader retired as county
commissioner he kept the books eX-
ported without extra cost to the
county and if anything is wrong it has
probably occurred since that time.
1t would have paid the taxpayers
Of the county if they had kept such a
competent and a serviceable man as
Frank Nader in office. It would Ger
tainIy have been cheaper than hiring
experts at fifteen dollars a day for
six months at a time.

WHEAT MARKET QUIET.

The wheat market is both quiet and
weaker says the West Coast Trade
this week. Millers have so far salts
er buyers on that account ceased to
be active bidders during the week
with the anticipated result that val

now quoted at SIC for blustem and
78c for club. At the top and just pre-
ceding the break there was an active
selling movement, but since the de-
cline business has been Of a very lin
tied volume. Growers have not had
their confidence shaken very serious
ly and are inclined to hold off for re
coVery. Millers. after a period OF
pronounced demands, have retired IS
an active bull factor, while exporters
are not pressing matters with any
particular yigOr in the absence Of any
thing like an active demand from
abroad. Enough wheat has been pur-
chased to provide for obligations at
ready entered into, but nothing fur

fusion ticket, Mr.. Low publicly gave
encoura cement las year 10 the can
didacy Of MI Odell for governor.
Lately President Roosevelt, Governor
Odsu and Senator Plat, not 10 men
tic. o.her well-known republican
leaders, have demonstrated. their
wish for Nj. Lows denomination. The
infusion Of outside politics into Mu-
nicipal affairs mas ietTacted from MI.
Lows nonpartisan strength, and the
c:tizeas' union has asserted that It
VIII not support any candidate unless
he eiye satisfactory assurance that
ne viii net participate CIR exercise MS
influence in national CT state politics.
The reason for this is that the re-
suits in New York city elections would
have effect throughout the state and
nation next year in the state and na-
tional nominations That the repuDil-
can yarty is weaker in New York
city and state than it has been in re-
cent important elections appears to
| be generally believed. Therefore It
| is thought that the republican lead
ers. especially those having personal
concern. are exceedingly anxious and
would feel much relieved if by the re-
election CT Nj. Low the party could
regain some Of its lost prestige in the
city and state Consequently, the re-
sDectable element OF democracy,
while laboring for a high standard
of municipal government, is put on
the defensive through the circum-
stances Of politics.
Possibly a way will be discovered
for conducting the campaign solely on
vital local issues. But it appears that
the complications are Of a kind, so
affected are they by the ramitications
of politics and the schemes of prac-
tical politicians, which circum-
sances alone can rectify. The uni
versal tendency now is to have munic-
ipal elections at time so for apart
from other elections that foreign in
terests and issues will not be invOlv-
ed. New York is not the only city
that will or should be led in this di-
recti0n by unpleasant experiences.

NEW Works. COMPLICATIONS

The political situation in New York
city is a complication that tends 20
bring into impressive prominence one
of the chief obstacles to non
partisan. good government Par
tisan interests in national and state
affairs are injecting themselves, al
most necessarily it would seems into
strictly local issues. The metropolis,
with powerful organizations opposing
each other. is gradually getting into
the confusion Of complex problem.
Elections in many other cities have
been affected by similar controversies
and difficulties, but the impending mu-
nicipal campaign in New York is the
more interesting and instructive on
account of the emphasis laid on pros
pectiye partisan loss and gain and on
account Of the fine though plain dis
tinctiOns which separate Organiza-
lions aiming al the same beneficial
achievements.
Mayor Low, who was elected
through the cooperation Of the fus-
iOnists. is really a republican. The
citizens union and the republican or
