The Calhoun Case

The failure of the jury in the Cal
houn case to find verdict must he O
terrible disappointment to the people
of San Francisco. After five months
of hard work. the jury that patiently
listened to the evidence was unable to
agree upon the guilt or innocence of
the defendant. AS the jury stood ten
to two for acquittal, Mr.. Calhoun, in
his published statement, regards the
large majority of the jury in his favor
as substantial vindication.
The writer cannot SO regard it, nor
does he see how one familiar with the
situation in San Francisco can come to
any such conclusion The escape of
Calhoun from conviction is not the
first time wealthy man accused of
bribery has escaped punishment, nor
will it be the last so long as the law
leaves so many loopholes for wealthy
criminal. Had Calhoun been com
paratively poor man he would have
been in San Quentin long ago.
We do not believe that any sane man
doubts that Calhoun furnished the
money to bride the board of supervisors
of San Francisco to pass the overhead
trolley franchise. If he did not, why
has there not been some explanation of
the 100000 that was telegraphed by
him to the United States mint and paid
by its officers to Ford, Abbott and Ruef?
If that was an honest transaction, it
was not necessary for the treasurer of
the United Railway Company to skip
out to New York and send the com
pany's books out of the jurisdiction of
the California courts. Not one word
has Patrick Calhoun or any of his
associates ever uttered that would
throw any light on this transaction.
Immediately after the earthquake
when San Francisco was bleeding at
every pore, Patrick Calhoun and his
associates schemed to rob its citizens of
valuable street railway franchise
By the aid of gold and corrupt mayor
and supervisors he accomplished the
steal. Can anyone familiar with the
facts successfully deny this statement?
If they cannot how can they consist
emily argue that Mr.. Calhoun should
not be punished?

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition OF the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a,rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
ditlon, hearing will he destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition Of the mucous

Ways OF Raising Money for Charity

From times immemorial in China, a
donation of 10000 taels to charity has
secured for the donor the much priced
peacock's feather; while for half that
sum a title of nobility is conferred OIL
ones ancestors to the third generation.
The late emperor of Brazil followed
the same method when erecting hos
pital in Rio de Janeiro. Having found
difficulty in obtaining the necessary
funds, he announced that the title of
'baron" was to be conferred OH every
subscriber of 100, 600 milreis and that of
count" on subscribers of $50, 900 mil
reis. This announcement produced
the desired effect, and the hospital was
soon completed. The opening ceremony
was performed by the emperor and at
tended by a large number of the newly
ennobled, who did not altogether relish
the words inscribed in letters of gold on
the gable of the new building: Human
Vanity to Human Misery"

FOR FORESTRY PRESERVE
Interesting State History Revealed in
Looking Up Title in Plalnfeld

Montpelier, Nov. 19.-Several inter
esting bits of state history have been
brought to light by States Attorney
BENJAMIN Gates in his examination of
the titles of land in Plainfield which
it is proposed by the state TO pur-
chase for use as a state forest pres
erve The land which it is planned
to purchase is a part of Plainfield,
which was formerly known as Goshen
Gore. The land has all been cut over
once and there is little timber there
which would be valuable for lumber
at the present time, but the ground
has been gone over by State Forester
Halves and it is stated that there are
a great many fine seedlings there
which will make good forest in
years to come. The land is in a
mountainous section of the town, and
the particular section in question is
called Spruce mountain.
Goshen Gore has had an interest
ing history. 1t was originally part
of Caledonia county, as was also Har-
ris Gore, which bounds it on the east.
In 1854. by an act of the legislature
it was separated from Caledonia coun-
ty and made a part of Washington
county and probate district. and was
also annexed to the town of Plainfield
by the legislature, subject to the ap-
proval of the voters of the town in
the March meeting next following. At
this meeting, the town voted to re-
fuse the annexation, and the territory
remained gore until 1874, when an
act was again passed making it part
of the town of Plainfield and on
March 2, 1875, it was accepted as a
part of the town at the town meeting
by the voters of Plainfield.
The original lots, from which this
purchase will probably be made were
laid out many years ago, possibly at
the time of the New Hampshire
grants.
There were 20 lots in the entire
gore, which contained 1928 acres. The
population of the gore in 1853, the
year before it was annexed to Wash
ington county, was given by Zadock
Thompson as A. Another interest
ing fact is that there was also another
Goshen Gore at present the town of
Stannard, in Caledonia county, which
results in some puzzling tangles in
the older record.

cines like Lydia b. Pinkhams Vege-

LEGISLATIVE LUNKHEADS
Who Infest the State House at
Indianapolis Every Two
Years.

Indiana energetic secretary
of the state board of health is los
ing confidence in men and meas
ures so far as the care of children
is concerned. He has added the
following to this long list of con-
tribution upon the subject:
illinois has a child labor law.
Twelve firms were arraigned in
court in one day for violation.
The lowest fine, five dollars, was
aid against each offender by the
Judge trying the case. Immedi-
ltely following the child cases, in
he same court, a man was fined
SIS, the limit, for having on sale
4 bottle of ginger ale with an IL
'egal label. Is it three times as
great a crime to trifle with bot
lie OF ginger ale as with the
health and development of chill
lren?
United States Commissioner of
Education f. +. Brown, backed
by Secretary Garfield, asked con-
gress for an appropriation of $500
with which to scientifically study
1 certain phase OF child life to the
md that child life might be bet

committee laughed it down.

SAYS ENSLEY
OWES MORE MONEY
BASIS GIVEN FOR NEW
CLAIMS AGAINST FOR
MER TREASURER.
Report to Commissioners-De
linquent Taxes and Fees Said
to Have Been Retained.

Indianapolis, April 2O.-Revel-
atoms giving basis for new
claims by the county for the re-
covery of additional money from
Oliver p. Ensley, former county
treasurer, and throwing full light
on the system of bookkeeping
formerly in vogue in the treasur-
ers and auditors Offices were
made by a report submitted to
he county commissioners by Ed
ward r. Parmlee and c. B. Lock
hart, the expert accountants, who
have been examining the county
books for more than a year.
The report covers the entire
period of Mr.. Ensley's admins
tration as treasurer, from Janu-
airy /, 1904, to December 81, 1907
and represents an immense
amount of work by the experts
who have been working on the
treasurer's books since last fall
checking over and separating
funds which were punched to-
gether on the books, but which
should properly have been in sep
arate accounts.
Delinquent Taxes Retained.
The main items in the report
just submitted are $5,1S7.36 of
delinquent taxes shown to have
been retained by Mr.. Ensley and
which, the experts say, is recov.
cradle without question; SCI, 1892
.95 Of fees for the collection Of de-
linquent taxes retained by Mr..
Ensley under special law which
may be unconstitutional; fund
of $500 deposited privately by
Mr.. Ensley when he left the Of
fee to meet claims on account of
erroneous and double payment of
taxes, part of which fund the
county may attempt to obtain,
and $62557 which is unaccounted
for.
These items have nothing to
do with the $22,473.22 which Mr..
Ensley paid back to the county
treasurer last year, when the ex-
perts showed that he owed that
much on a per cent of taxes on
sequestered property which he
kept for himself. On account of
his alleged illegal retention of
fees last year Mr.. Ensley was in
dicted by the grand jury and is
now under $4,000 bond.

SHYLOCK is OUTDONE.
Two Accused of Cutting Flesh
From Man Who Fought
Extortion.

Pittsburg, April 19.-Alleged
to have outdone Shylock in fav-
ing actually cut portions of flesh
from the breast of a man who re-
fused them money, Salvador Rob
erto and Nicolo Digliotti were
today held for trial without bail
at Braddock a suburb.
With his wounds bandaged,
but weak from loss of blood, 10
seph Gugliotto appeared at a
Braddock bank in company with
the two foreigners and asked to
draw out $500 The teller called
an interpreter anG after few
questions he caused the two ar
rests.
Gugliotti said he received sew
eral Black Hand letters demand
ing money, but ignored them. He
said he was aroused from sleep
to find the two men standing
over him. He said they demand
ed $500, and when he refused one
of them held him while the other
slit his arms and face with still
etto. Still he refused to comply
with their demands till one IT
them. he said, began carving
pieces out of his breast. Then
he promised to get the money.
