HUNT FOR
BOTTLE WHISKY
Workmen Enlarging Cellar i'm Boom
ton, n. j., Have Already Found
Bills and Coins

Boonton, \. j., March 6.-Work-
men engaged in charging the cellar
OF the old William H. Temple build
ing here on Saturday found in the
money drawer of a counter, some
"shinplasters, coins, other bills and
gold nuggets, worth in all perhaps
$1,000. The building was erected
by William H. Temple fifty years
ago, and was used as a dwelling and
a grocery store by him, Temple went
to California in 1S49, and some of
the nuggets brought home by him
We're in the drawer.
A workman who was employed in
the erection of the building, and
who still lives in this town, saws
that one of his fellow workmen was
sent for a quart of apple whiskey.
and when the boss of the Job. who
was strong temperance man. ap-
peared suddenly the bottle was hast
lily hidden between the lathing and
the side OF the building. The boss
stayed around so long that the wall
was plastered over and the bottle
remained there all these years.
Workmen expect to cover it in dav
or two, and Boonton is accumuIat-
ing thirst.

MercifuI Murder.

We have accepted with decent pro-
test the idea of judicial murder to sat
lsfy the majesty of the law, but it is
a far cry from the taking of life as a
punishment for capital crime to the
taking of it merely to shorten the ago
MES of existence where the case of the
patient is hopeless. Resort to lethal
dose of poison in certain cases was ad-
located not long ago by a man of sci
ence, and. although his th~nry found
champions, the sentiment Of the coun.
try was strongly against it. The ques-
con is again brought to the fore byan IL
cident in Edith Wharton's latest move!
where the plot turns on "merciful"
murder No softer name can be given
TO the act of nurse or doctor who
sbOrtens human life in order to shorten
misery.
The law expressly declares that no
one can effect the death of another
with deliberate and premeditated de-
sign without being guilty of murder.
To place discretion in the hands of any
circle or body, whatever their relations
tn the subject of the execution, would
be to invite anarchy. If there is one
justiGab!e case there are thousands.
and IN view Of the number of actua!
murders committed it IS reasonable %
suppose that occasions would be made
for the legal" removal Of afflicted
ones whose early death might he de-
sired BY third party.

BELL RINGERS COMING
Dunbar Company Will Fill Engage
ment in Dallas, Saturday,
April IL.

The Dunbar Bell Ringers will fill
the last date of the Lyceum entertain
ment course in Dallas, April II. The
course, which has been put on under
the auspices OF Dallas College, has
been very successful and has been one
of the important features OF this win
ters entertainment season in Dallas.
Each entertainment was we'll attended
and greatly appreciated, and it is said
by those who have witnessed their
entertainment, that the Dunbar Bell
Ringers are by far the strongest com
pany sent out by the Lyceum Bureau
this year.
In addition to their truly remark
able musical work with the bells, they
are trained vocalists, and their quar-
tette singing is an important feature
In the entertainments. Their bells
range in sizes from tiny handbells
weighing but few ounces, for the
higher notes In the register, to the
huge sixseen Founders that serve as
BASES.

for Coast Championship,
Thursday.

The Dallas College basketball team,
the champions of Oregon, left
this afternoon for Snohomish, WASH
ington, where the first game for the
Pacific Coast championship will be
played against the strong aggregation
which represents the latter city.
Although the home team has suffered
bad luck in the past month from ILL
ness among its members, tits generally
believed that the chances for victory
stand about equally balanced between
the two aggregations. Several OF the
enthusiastic basketball fans" OF
Dallas will accompany the home team
on its northern trip.
The second game Of the series will be
played in Dallas, Wednesday, April 8.
A third game IL necessary will be
played on neutral floor, probably in
Portland. Wednesdays game will be
the last and hardest game to be played
on the local floor during the present
season.

NEW BOOKS FOR LIBRARY
Proceeds of Entertainment Will Be
Used in Purchasing Late
Publications.

Mrs. Sylvia McGuire's lecture-recital,
Echoes from the Southland" given
at the Colosseum Rink, Friday even
ing for the benefit Of the Dallas Free
Library, was an entertainment OF
exceptional merit.
In series of short sketches, some
humorous, some pathetic, all rendered
in most artistic manner, Mrs. Nc
Guire painted for her audience a
picture of the life and customs of the
"Old South" as it was before the war,
and outlined the salient characteristics
of the southern 'darky" as only a
child of the south can do 1t.
To make the program even more
complete, Miss Beulah Caldwell, OF
Portland, sang such songs, as 'Dixie"
and "Old Kentucky Home," all rich
with the romance of the Old South and
breathing the spirit Of the days
before the war" Mrs. G.. P. Nc
Gregor. OF this city, played her
dCCOhiPohlhAOhoo'
From a financial point of view, the
entertainment was even more success
full than had been expected, between
$25 and $50 being cleared. The hall
in which the recital was held. the
printing, the moving of the piano
and other minor details of preparation
were kindly donated by friends OF the
library, and the expenses were conse
quently very slight.
The proceeds of the entertainment
will be used to purchase new books
for the library and to replenish the
supply of magazines on the reading
table. Through the enthusiastic worl
Of those having charge Of its manage

SEARS WINS HIS SUIT
Judge Galloway DEGREES That F. l.
Dunbar Must Return $103, 926
to State.

Judgment was rendered against
former secretary Of state, Frank l.
Dunbar, Friday morning, In the
action brought against him by the
state to recover fees alleged to have
been illegally collected by him during
his eight years term of office. In his
trial Dunbar was shown to have col
lected more than 100000.
The fact that Dunbar burned his
private account books, which showed
the amounts he collected in fees, was
brought against the defendant in his
trial.
The Importance Of the suit grove
out of the fact that verdict against
the defendant means that large sums
will have to be paid back into the
state treasury by Dunbar and other
state officials, il the supreme court
upholds Galloway, as the constitution
clearly forbids taking fees in excess
of the stated salary fixed for each state
official.

Will Organize Track Team.

The Student Athletic Association, of
Dallas College, has decided to organize
a track team this season instead OF
engaging In baseball as they have
done for the past three years. The
last track team of the College was
organized in 1904 and '05, and had a
most successful season. The track
team was favored this year because it
is believed that it will give more Of the
students chance to compete in ath-
letic work than would a baseball squad
and also because the chance for all
round development is better. Tracy
Savery has been elected manager of
the team. Much good material is
found among the college men
this year, and it is probable that an
excellent aggregation of track and
field athletes will be developed.
