Made the Dummy Wink.

The human dummy" that has
been doing a stunt in the show win
dow at the office of Neely & Young
in the Spokane Club building came to
grief yesterday afternoon at the
hands of some mischevious boys with
looking glass, says the Spokesman
Review. The "dummy's" role is to
look like an ossified man operated by
a mechanical device while he lifts ad-
vertising placards out of d tray and
drops them on the floor. He per-
forms the remarkable feat of stand
ing sometimes for half an hour fac
ing the wondering spectators without
winking an eye.
Yesterday afternoon two boys
among the crowd before the window
cast the suns rays directly into "dum-
my's unblnking eyes by means of
mirror. But dummy was game,
standing for two or three minutes
with the sun glaring squarely on his
retina without dropping an eyelid,
The tears overran his eye and traced
paths through the paint on his face,
but he did not blink until his man
ager, seeing his peril drew the curtain
before the window.

O. r.. g. N. to Right Tax Case.

The matter OF the payment Of the
o. r. & N. taxes for 1906 will prob
ably be taken into court within a few
days as 1t was decided, following the
conference between the o.. r. & N.
officials and the commissioners yes
terday, to issue a certificate of delin-
quency The o. r. & ~ will make
application for an Injunction, says the
Walla Walla Bulletin.
No agreement was reached at the
conference yesterday, though. several
propositions were made. The Off
cials offered to pay s25,242 as taxes
for 1905, and the 1906 taxes at the
rate set by the railroad commission.
The commissioners asked $1,000 more
and 8 per cent interest on the taxes.
This was refused, but after the ad-
journment Of the o. r. & N. officials
agreed to take the commissioners Of
fer. The commissioners would not
agree to this and 1t was decided to Is
sue certificate OF delinquency under
the law, which provides that this may
be done six months after the taxes be-
come due, the law providing that the
commissioners had to wait IL months
having been declared invalid.
The o. r. & N. will bring court
proceedings to prevent the issuance
of the certificate.
