by F. W. Lyon, conducted the prose-
cution. J. N. True defended Har-.

their staying ut his home. He said
they told him they did the Little
Falls job, and wanted him to join
with them in 1obbing tho Brainerd
depot. he told Of notifying the Brain.
erd authorities. Plummer admitted
that he had served time himself.
It having been shown that there
was no positive evidence to prove that
the goods sold in Belle Prairie were
the goods taken from the depot, CT
that they were the goods that had
been consigned, the prosecution
moved to dismiss the case, which
was done. This left three other In
dictm~nts hanging over the prisoners.
Rather than wait till next fall for
trial Lynch and Harwoo decided to
plead guilty to the charge of robbery
in tho second degree, and were each
sentenced to one year in the state pri-
son at saltwater. This was the
minimum sentence. Nein refused to
plead guilty and was bound over to
the next term of court in $500 bail,
which means that he will remain in
Jail until September. unless sooner
released.
Joe Simpson, on trial fer stealing
about $500 from Geo. Schaballa Of
Flensburg, was found not guilty: On
his first trial Simpson was convicted,
but was granted new trial. The gen.
eral impression was that he would be
convicted.

OUR TAX LAW.


IT'S tax ue here and tax US there.
And tax Us, tar ne everywhere
From trouble We gain no relax,
When paying this Internal tax.
They tax the MORTGAGE and the note,
You must Fay poll-tax if you vote;
They stick and hold like sealing
wax,
To make you pay your yearly tax.
It's taxes there and taxes here.
Place tax on whiskey and on beer;
They tax US at 90 much per head,
Our taxes would arouse the dead.
The men who made this tax q law
Should get the Ak beneath the jaw
The poor must hump their burdened
backs.
To raise the funds to pay their tax.
The rich who schedule half they
own,
For their deceit do not condone;
But If the poor man candor lacks.
They burden him with extra tax.
They tax whatever can be found,
They tax the air, the sky, the
ground;
OF taxes you can get your fill
They tax you for the unpaid bill.
They place a tax on high and low,
They levy tax on what you owe;
They tax your horse and NANCY dog,
They tax you for each COW and hog.
They tax you if you bat your eye.
They tax all things beneath the sky
They tax the notes which debtors
give,
They tax you if you wish to live.
They tax your house, they tax your
land
They tax the cash you have on hand
They tax your watch, they taz
your clock.
They tax you for each hen and cock.
They tax you if you draw your
breath,
They tax and tax and tax to death,
Our taxes rise like bakers leaven-
Lord grant We De not taxed in
heaven.
They tax the water which We drink,
They tax US If We dare to think,
They tai Us for the bread We eat,
They tax the shoes upon our feet.
Tax tax will be their wailing cry,
When they give up the ghost and
die;
And when they reach immortal
shades,
''Old Nick' will levy tax in hadee,
Now where do all these taxes 20,
Is what the people want to know?
The leeches and the Office buns,
For getting votes pay fancy sums;
Each "Honest John and tBoozy
Bill
OF taxes fret must have their ill,
At taxes they must have the whack,
Ana We are left to hold the sack.

 MT Curtis was at white heat when he got up to reply. He said that there was no legal contract in the case-and could be none.

 Commissioner Birch ruled that the question was 8 purely argumentative one. Whereat the hearing went over till this morning at 10 o'clock, when Pres ident Cranford of the Bank of Jasper, will give his testimony

the capitol is expressed in this remark by one when told of the selection: T think we should get up a petition signed by every man in the capitol asking Gov ernor Jelks to make 1t permanent. l am sure there will be not one who will not be glad to sign it. It is one of the most satisfactory appointments ev.r made in the statehouse."
 Adiutant General W. w. Brandon is getting ready for the inspection of the state troops and will begin next Mon day at Camden, if the date is not chang ed as he has requested.

CHOICE OF CAMPER
 CAUSES SURPRISE Has Long Been Good Friend of
 the Governor MISS 0FFUlT GETS PLACE Young Woman Succeeds Screws as Temporary Recording Secretary to the Governor--Other News
 of Montgomery.

Montgomery, February &.-(Special)- lThe appointment of the board of convict Inspectors yesterday has set the tongues of the capital to wagging and 1t is the general theme of conversation today It is wondered why M. w. Camper, the man who succeeds Judge Thomas Bradford on the board, would want the place, as he is regarded as one of the best fixed men in the newspaper business in the state His paper. the Florence Times, is one lof the strong and influential weelSlies of lthe north section of the state, and no doubt a great money maker. There is also surprise expressed in some quarters that there should have been swap of horses while in the middle of the stream, for 1t Is well known that many matters of greatest importance are being worked out by the convict officers right now
 One of the capitol officials said this morning: "I can tell you the secret of it. MT. Camper and the Governor have been good friends for many years. In fact the Florence man has been one of the best friends the executive has had. and has supported and worker for him through every fight he has had to make. i1t may be giving away a secret. but 1t is known to be a fact that MT. Camper came near being made a railroad com missioner when the two present asso- ciates were appointed some time ago. Both he aud the Governor are newspaper men. who have been closely allied in public matters for a long time and it will not be astonishing to those who know all the circumstances"
 l Miss offutt Appointed.
 ! In all his public career the Acting Gov ernor will not do a more generally ap- proved thing than he did this morning when he appointed Miss Mamie Offutt, the accomplished stenographer in the executive office, to the position of record dng secretary to the Governor. succeeding M H. Screws, who has resigned to take up the office of justice of the peace to which he has Just been appointed The appointment is temporary and holds good until 8 permanent selection Is made by Governor Jelks who is expected home some time next week.
 Miss Offutt has been in the office for several years and knows more people of Alabama than any other woman in the state, no doubt. She is thoroughly fla miliar with the conditions and duties of the office and is emnently fitted for the duties. The approval of the officials of

Did Not Consider Fitness.

When the question of my successor becomes a matter of great anxiety to numerous aspirants for this place, the discussion was not concerning the fitness of candidates, nor the political popular ity of the various gentlemen who com posed the waiting list, nor the pledges of the legislators, but was limited to the question as to who could stand best with the church; as to whom it would like to use in this position; as to who could make for the extension of it's ambitions and power in the United States"
 MT. Kearns then took up the subject of the Mormon marriage relations and said: Plural marriage relations have been continued defiantly, according to the will and pleasure of those who had for merly violated the law and for whose obedience to law the church monarchy pledged the faith and honor of its lead CTS and followers alike in order to ob- tain statehood"
 of the church is in a large part respons- ible for this condition and that 1t is quite evident the church monarchy is trying to re-establish the rule of the polygamous class over the mass of the Mormon people. He charged that not more than three or four apostles have refrained from practicing polygamy and that special reasons may exist in some particular case why man in this class has not entered into such relation"
 All incomes Tithed.
 Speaking of the tithing system MT. Kearns said that no account was made of this vast sum of one-tenth of all the incomes of the Mormons and that the president of the church expended it &C., cording to his own will. He said the hopelessness of contending in business way with this autocrat was perfectly aparent and continued:
 Tt will astound. you to know that every dollar of United States money paid to any servant of the government who is a Mormon, is tithed for the benefit of his monarch. He gets one-tenth to swell his grandeur. This is also true of money paid out of the public treasury of the state of Utah to Mormon officials. But what is worst of all the monarch dips into the sacred public school fund and extracts from every Mormon teacher one-tenth of his earnings and uses 1t for his unaccounted purposes and by means of these purposes and the power which they constitute, he defies the laws of his state. the sentiment of his coun- try and is waging a war of notification on the public school system so dear to the American people. No right-thinking man will oppose any servant of the nation or as a teacher in the public schools on account of religious faith As have be- fore remarked this is no war on the re- ligon of the Mormons; and I am only calling attention to the monstrous man ner in which this monarch invades S.ll the provinces of human life, and en- deavors to secure his rapacious ends.
