The Dinner Danger.

From the Buffalo Evening News
Secretary Taft is human and may some
times carry too far his disposition to be
gracious about invitations to dine, but 1t Is
distinctly not nice for the papers to say he
has collapsed. After all, the Depew plan
of banaueting Is best. Eat your dinner in
peace and quiet at home and then go out to
the function prepared to pass lost of 1t
untouched.

Sues County for Money Loaned.

One phase of the county indebted
ness will be brought to an issue in
the courts at an early date, John T.
McCurdy having commenced suit to
recover $4,000 loaned the county
to meet running expenses, together
with interest on the same, the total
amount being about $4,000. Mr..
McCurdy's claim has nothing to do
with the court house indebtedness,
his loan having been made previous
to the time the building of the court
house was commenced. Mr.. McCur-
dy will make hard fight to win the
suit and the case will be watched
with interest by the people of the
county. This with the suit of Rick
man G Sons will bring two entirely
different cases into court and it is
probable that suit will be commenced
at an early date by some of the
parties who made loans for the
court house.
