The suggestion that the Levy Court
viii be impellcd to make an increase in
the county tax rate will not be relished
by the taxpayers of the county, particu-
larry those resident in the city Of Viii
mington. On the surface of county
aifaim there is nothing TO warrant even
the suggestion Of a higher tax rate, and
if the Levy Court knows when II is well
off, it will continue the rate as at present
so cents on the Sl00-which is ample for
all legitimate purposes.

about the picturesque country. One

ADJUSTMENTS
"Mikado" Tonight.

In the world of comic opera there
never has been such a combination OF
good music, screamingly funny COM
edy, pathos and dramatic situations as
are contained in "The Mikado"; the
one opera that stands alone the favor
tie alike with professional and amateur
singers. Every person in the cast has
something to do that makes the player
stand out prominently-in other words,
all the principals have, to use theatre
cal slang, "a pie part Then, again,
there are various productions of this
opera made to suit the company. If
they have a bad tenor, bad baritone
comedian, sporano or any other prin-
cipal the music is cut, and in conse-
uuence many so-called "Mikado" pro-
auctions are only half made up. AS the
Roscians opera company will present
this opera tonight We have the assur-
ance of Mr. Cranston, me manager,
that positively every note Of music in
the score will be sung, and sung we'll.
That the Thereto is exactly as Gilbert
and Sullivan ground it out, with the
exception of a few liberties allowable
the comedian to suit the locale. The
costuming and scenery carried by the
company is appropriate and correct.
Contemporary reports from other
places where the Roscians have played
an engagement pronounce THE Mika-
do" their best bill. This is due to
the fact that in this opera there is
something that is bound to please
everybody.

SwEDE SAM GETS IN JAIL
CHARACTER, BUT HE HAD
TO BE CARRIED.

Sam Seberson, otherwise known as
"Swede SAM and a frequent boarder
at the city Jail, was lodged in his old
quarters this morning after great deal
of effort on the part of Officer Sander
son and half dozen citizens.
Sam acquired a few coins of the
realm somewhere this morning, and, as
is usually the case when any such
fortune befalls him, he spent it for
bad whisky. Sans load this morning
was something glorious to benold and
he was having a fine time in front of
the First National bank when Officer
Sanderson happened along and at
tempted to take him to Jail. Sam SIM
ply wouldn't go. First he was too
drunk to essay the feat of walking
clear down to the city Jail and second
he had no desire to force his company
on the bedbugs and other vermin
which, it is said make things lively for
unfortunates in the city bastile.
Trying to lug Sans 200 odd avOidu-
pois was big task for the little officer
and after many vain attempts to in
duce Sam to go ahead under his own
steam Sanderson finally called On a
crowd of pedestrians who had stopped
to see the fun to help him out. Four
husky men volunteered their services
and laying hands on Sam started for
the Jail. Sam didn't mind going to Jail
if he was to be carried so he didn't
put up much resistance, sort of lolling
back in the arms of his perspiring car
riers and enjoying the fun. Sam was
finally placed in cold storage, where he
will remain until Judge Huffman de-
cides what to do with MIN.
Jimmy" Gilkins, partner of
"Swede SAM" was arrested in the
north part of the city on a drunk and
disorderly charge this afternoon. Cap
tain Davis brought Jimmy" to the
cooler in a hack.

total of home comforts in their own
domestic establishments.
Mccall, Mccurdy, Hyde.
Named in connection with this lat
est astonishing development in the
insurance scandal are John A. Mccall
Richard A McCurdy, James HaZen
Hyde and several others who have fig
ured in charges of high finance chican-
cry in the last few months. 1t is re-
garded as certain that all these men
will be called before the grand jury
1t is now known that for at least
ten years it has been the practice OF
officers and in some cases Of directors
of the big insurance companies to or
the leading furniture and department
stores and to have the bills sent to
the auditors of the companies. In
many cases the goods We're delivered
at the Offices of the companies, and
then sent to the homes.
Specific cases in which such pur-
chases have been made are now be-
ing Investigated by detectives from the
district attorneys office. Investiga-
ton of one important branch of this
work is being hampered by the fact
that a rug house in this city which
several years ago furnished a number
of Persian and Turkish rugs to men
in control of the big life insurance COM
panies has since gone out of business
but clerks fully cognizant of the trans
actions of those days have been found
and it is hoped that eventually the
books of this firm can be uncovered.
1t is known that one rug sold for
$4,000, was sent to the office of the
president of one of the greatest of the
insurance companies of this city. A
rug of this sort is known as we'll as a
painting by Millet or Velasquez is
known. 1t could not disappear with
out some trace of it being kept, and it
is known positively that this rug was
never seen in the business office of the
president who purchased it.
Soap and Towels, Etc.
1t is a fact easily certified that even
such necessaries as small bathroom
supplies, bought in huge quantities by
the Equitable, were distributed to the
homes Of the officers of the company.
Soap, bath towels, sponges, sprays and
many other articles required in the
homes of the officers Of the insur-
ance companies of this city were
bought and paid for by those in charge
of the supply departments of the vari-
Gus companies and We're never sent to
the buildings of these concerns, but
directly to the homes of those able to
bring about this peculiar and petty
sort of graft. *

guards to serve a four-year sentence
for arson, imposed by Judge Poindex-
ter. DR.. Latham's case has attracted
much attention all over the eastern
part of the state and was bitterly
fought before the prosecution was able
to secure a conviction.
Following her trial she was released
on bonds and while waiting for her
case to be finally disposed of, made a
sensational attempt to get out of the
country. She was finally overhauled
by her bondsmen and returned to the
county Jail at Spokane. Guards yes
terday brought 10 convicts to the peni-
tertiary to serve sentences as follows
J. c. Doyle, Chelan, forgery, one

EIGHT ALLEGED OFFENDERS OF
clTYS PEACE AND DIGNITY
SCOOPED UP.
Cosmopolitan Crowd Filled City jail
This Morning as Result Of Busy
Days Work.

A cosmopolitan crowd of DRINKS,
thieves filled the city Jail this morning
as result of an Industrious day put
in by the police department yesterday
and last night in an effort to clear the
town of a gang of thugs and sneak
thieves VINO have been holding high
jinks the past 10 days. Eight prison
ers were given lodging in the Jail last
night and the police court will be
found working overtime this evening
when several of the alleged violators
of the city's peace and dignity are
hauled up for punishment before Judge
Huffman.
'Blacky' Brown, a gentleman of leis-
ure was the first one to be caught in
the drag net spread out by the police
yesterday morning and he was placed
in cold storage to be disposed Of later.
Brown, according to the police, has no
regular occupation. Bud" Smith was
picked up early in the afternoon for the
alleged theft of an overcoat in a room
over an East Main street saloon. Smith
is alleged to have had the effrontery to
swipe the coat and soak it with the
bartender in the saloon below. The
police say they have a clear case
against the young man.
William OFT and G. ]. Roach, two
suspicious characters who landed in
Walla Walla a day or so ago, were
rounded up on a charge of being drunk
and disorderly, but other charges will
probably be preferred against them.
John Broil, a stranger, was picked up
as "vag' and given his walking
papers. Frank LITER, George Angus
and William Anderson, three sleepers
picked up on the streets, We're given
cell room last night and ordered out of
town this morning. Two Of the men
were found asleep on the streets.
AS a result of the activity being dis
played by the police there has been
strange cessation of holdups and burg
laries the past two days. Chief Brown
Ms determined to rid the town of every
se4uspicious character and gentleman OF
leisure, and yesterdays cleanup, he
says, is just a starter of the good
work.

"Bohemian Girl"

That Walla Walla people regard the
Roscian opera company good enough
for anybody was proven by the large
crowd of the best people Of the town
that filled the Keylor Grand last night
to enjoy the production of the DO
hemian Girl" Lucia Nola essayed the
title role and she fully sustained the
great reputation she has won as a
prima dona soprano. Any man with a
soul, whether he knows anything of
music or not, cannot help being en-
raptured by her wonderful voice and
that there were many persons in the
audience with souls last night was
proven by the encores and curtain calls
that she won. F. w. Walters as Thad-
deus, a prescribed Pole. was the hero
of the play, and as ''all the world loves
a lover" this superb tenor was given
round after round of applause on every
appearance. Hazel Davenport as a re-
vengeful Gypsy queen was splendid
and her acting was equal to her sing
ing Claude Amsden, lillian Camp
bell and George H Jackson were the
other favorite performers and they all
deserved the plaudits that they won
The performance was a great treat and
