Noel and Hon. (harieS ocott,
candidates for governor, address,
ed large audience here during the
recess Of Circuit Court and the
speeches of each made fine i'm
preston, and it is very evident that
both candidates have many friends
in this county.
The usual speeches were made
by these gentlemen, except III con-
clusion Mr.. Scott added spice to
the occasion by remarking that he
hoped that the campaign would
be conducted on a high plane and,
SO far as he was concerned, 1t
should be; that he had made it a
point in his canvass never to refer
to anyone of his honorable COM
petitors by name unless present.
He regretted very much, he said,
to know that mud-slinging had
already commenced as against him
self, there being scarcely day
that he was not informed by some
friend of slanderous charges made
against him which had no founda-
ion, except in the imagination Of
some political enemy. He would
not condescend. he said, as a rule
to notice any of the ISLANDERS re-
peated against him. but would
make an exception in this case and
reply to one statement which he
desired to denounce.
He had recently been informed
by number of friends that 1t was
currently reported that he was the
candidate of the Illinois Central
railroad company. and had met in
conference with some of the ofhc-
ials of that road in Memphis and
New Orleans, where the subject oi
the gubernator rial campaign III Mis-
sissippi was discussed, the
report being that the road
stood pleged to support him by in
fluencing its attorneys and other
employees to espouse his cause,
Replying to this report, Mr.. Scott
said with decided emphasis:
Il do not know who rs respon-
sible for this slander, having nc
knowledge whatever as to its auth
or genesis. not only Indignantly
repudiate it. but want to repeat
here what l said at Nettleton-that
it is wholly, wilfully and malic'
iously false, and but for my respect
for the audience and myself ]
would characterize it by the use OF
short. sharp, crisp, singing Sax
OH word that can be spelled with
three letters. :"
This denunciation by Mr.. Scott
was received with hearty applause
the audience believing that he hac
not only told the truth in the mat
ter, but branded the author OF the
report in suitable language. Spec

THE OTHER WOMAN.

Stensland the fugitive president
of the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue
State Bank, of Chicago, has bee n
apprehended in Morocco of tip
given to the police by one of the
women who helped him dissipate
his own and the banks funds. 1t
is a characteristic ending of the
wine, woman and song" existence
which, the man had led. At
last the woman in the case sang
another kind of song, and her COM
panion must return to face certain
punishment.
She did not accompany him to
Morocco. That sort of woman
never does. She is unwilling to
ahare the adversely of which she is,
perhaps, the main contributing
cause. She ruins the dupe who,
for her sake, forgets his business
honor and his family vows, deserts
him, and then betrays him. If
the clandestine existence they lead
in common does not come up to
the prospects as a short life and
a merry one," at least the woman
does her share in shortening the
period between the first false move
and complete ruin, exposure and
punishment. Balzac has said such
a woman's heart is "a cashbox. "
Scripture says "Her steps leads to
destruction. The two completely
cover the Stensland case and every
case like it.
To blame the woman is not to ex-
culpate the man. Her shadow
looms so dark, chiefly because there
is usually another woman in the
picture-a devoted and honorable
wife, who has been neglected and
affronted, and yet who prese rves
a sense of loyalty and is ready to
share the humiliation of the man,
stand by in the effort to appeal to
whatever good is left in him.
This woman neither deserts nor
betrays. Detectives in search of a
fugitive's whereabouts show their
knowledge of human nature in
locating the other woman and
working on her weakness or cupid
ity, : and ignoring the wife as a
source of possible news tips.-N.

TEN MILLS LEVIED.
Taxes for County Purposes
Are Nearly Doubled.

The last act of the board of su-
pervisors, previous to their adjourn
ment Tuesday, was to increase the
tax levy for county purposes to
ten mills. This is an increase of
four mills over the previous levy,
but in this connection it should
not be forgotten that the levees Of
recent years have been at the min
imum. At the beginning of the
fiscal year of 1904, when the pres
ent levy was made up, it was held
by many that the taxes would not
provide the necessary funds for
financing the county, and how we'll
this prediction was verified is found
in the proceedings of the board
published elsewhere showing that
in order to keep the common county
fund in shape to meet current ex-
penses it was necessary to transfer
certain amounts from both the
Fines" and the Road and
Bridge" funds.
1t was predicted a month ago,
when the fund was subjected to the
expense of repairing the court
house at Rosedale. together with
the building of several bridges,
that the county would be without
funds for the next meeting of the
board. When the meeting was
held this month it was found that
there was a trifle over 1000. 90
credit of the common county fund
and it became necessary to cover
into this fund from others that
were in a last depleted condition.
As the tax paying period is near
at hand, beginning October 18th, it
is thought that the fund as now
reinforced, will stand the demands
that will be made upon it.
Under the rapid development
that has been going on in the
county of recent years, the demands
upon the county exchequer have in
creased until much more money is
demanded than formerly. Expens-
es of counties are bound to be pro-
portionate with their increase in de-
development, and the board that
would fail to take cognizance OF
this fact would find itself confront
ed with depleted treasury at the
end of the year. There is very
strong sentiment in this county
against any return to scrip"
methods, and We believe that a ma.
|iority of our people would rather
see idle money in the. county treas,
ury than for any fund'to show de-
fcit. -
The board, however, has made a
conservative estimate of the proba'
|.ble expenses of the ensuing year,
and has only placed the levy high
enough to provide ample funds fol
the various expenses of the county
They supplemented their judgment
by the opinion of our best busines:
man and farmers. Of course
should any considerate amount re-
main unexhausted in the treasury
at the close of the current year fol
which the levy is computed, a re-
duction of the rate could be made
