FOR JUS TTCE' SAKE.

1t has been common report in
Benton during past days, that Judge
Woodward, as county judge, ac-
complished great things in the re-
duction of the county debt. The
Gazette has ascribed practically ali
the credit to him for the fact that
the county is now debtless, and has
displayed figures to show that Judge
Woodward actually reduced the
debt more than $4,000. Natural
1y enough, the report was widely
accepted because it went uncha1len-
ged, though all along there have
been many who knew that the
statements were widely at variance
with the facts.
On the fourth page of this paper
is to be found figures that disclose
the true status of the matter, and
show that during his four years of
administration, Judge Woodward
reduced the debt less than SIT,
900. They not only show this, but
they also show that in the last year
of his administration, Judge Wood
ward actually ran the county in
debt nearly 50, 900. The comment
accompanying the figures shows how
this deficit of nearly $4,000 in a
single year occurred, and by way of
comparison shows how Judge Huff
ford in a single year and a half re-
dnced the county debt more than
$2o,o while in four years Judge
Woodward reduced it less than $I7,
900. The figures are backed up
by the official report of the county
clerk, made on oath, and prepared
in the same way that Judge Huf.
ford's administration had a similar
report made a few years ago.
The article is published, not in
any spirit of criticism or hostility
to Judge Woodward, whose acts
the Times heartily supported and
whose hand the Times strengthen.
ed as best it could throughout his
term. Judge Woodward's purpose
is ever lofty, and in his official ca.
reer he gave the people of Benton
all he had to give. and insomuch
was faithful and honorable ofici-.
al. The article appears because it
is truth, and truth wherever told,
gives to each man that which is his
just due, and no more.

driver with keen eyesight and
steady nerve could safely thread.
i Toward the 1asroW pass the sight
less man drove at a
rapid pace and a great lump rose in
the throat of Wells. Without
Stacking the pace, the horses plum
ged through the narrow opening,
whisked on to the corner, rounded
it with perfect precision, came
round on another corner on to
Main. and thence swiftly past the
crowd and on up to and around the
corner at Simpsons.
Instead of stopping, however. at
Simpsons rear door, Keller drove
on. Two blocks he went, and then
pausing, he declared that he was
wrong. "Think how to get back"
he ordered, and with a dexterous
turn of the reins. he deity turned
the carriage round, drove swiftly to
Simpson and there with two mem
bers of the committee, alighted.
Under his directions, one of them
took him by the wrist where the
pulse beat is felt, and in a moment
he dashed in through the door to the
store, lifted the latch and passed
through another door. went straight
to the desk, and there lifted the
weight and took the hidden post
Office key. He turned at once, and
passing out, re-eptered the carri-
age, and drove swiftly to the post
Office. Entering, accompanied as
before by two of the committee, he
walked at once to the postoHice box
adjusted the key, opened the box
and removed the letter.
Think of the way we are to go
to find the man. he ordered, and
in a run he led his men out of the
postofhce. "Shall we take the car
riage or walk he asked and ''Let's
walk was the reply. "A11 right.
he said, and off they went, Keller
leading the way at swift pace.
In front of his store was E. AL
len. He was. the man to whom the
letter that Keller carried was ad-
dressed. Through the crowd and
along the pavement the blindfolded
telepathist hurried with his COM
panions. Straight into Mr.. Allen |
he walked. This is the man. he
said, handing Allen the letter. Al
more remarkable display of the
science of te1epathy, or |
thought telegraphing was never
seen in town. and the crowd by
many friendly expressions, testified
to the fact. I'm
Keller is also hypnotist He is
giving entertainments nightly at
the opera house, in which people
are brought under his hypnotic con-
troll, and were made to go through
all manner ofevolutions. Twoyouths
were made to milk an imaginary COW
at one performance One held the
tail while the other essayed to do
the milking. The COW seemed to be
unruly and the movements the boys
went through were decidedly amu-s-

went through the evolutions of a

The AngIo-French Treaty.

The treaty of arbitration just negoti- ated between Great Britain and France is another step toward universal peace. The possibility of war between civilized nations is growing more and more remote. and it is very possible that within the next twenty years battleships will be regarded useless as the coat of mail of the middle ages.
 The Anglo-F'rench treaty is also sig nificant of the approaching readjust- ment of European alliances. The al! liance between France and Russia has always been an absurdity. France, one of the most civilized and progressive nations of the earth, has nothing in common with the Russian system of government, or indeed, with the Rus sian people. The compact was artifi- cial from the beginning, and as an other war between France and Germa- ny becomes less and less probable, dency in France to cut loose from Rus sia's leading strings.
 Incidentally. the treaty may be re- garded as d direct result of the tact full manner in which King Edward has cultivated French friendship, anl as another proof of the important part
 which the king silently but effectively
 plays Tn the affairs of his government
