Denair's Illness Stops Trlal

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 6.-John
Denair was taken seriously i'll at the
Stewart hotel last night, and having
shown no improvement this morning
Judge B. F. Bledsoe dismissed the
jury hearing the suit brought against
Denair and ]. D. Warren to foreclose
a mortgage by F. F. Oster and T.
Benjamin. and the action was returned
to the trial calendar. The sudden con-
clusion of the hearing came as a sur
prise and led to many rumors, but
those in close touch with the pr1nct-
pals state that Denair's illness is posi-
lively the only cause of the discon-
tinuance of the trial.

the homes of this land, the land of
peace and plenty. OUher holidays are
celebrated publicly, but Christmas is a
holiday the world over, whose joys are
centered in the home. The bootblack
and his little sister, who have barrel
IN an alley that they call home, get as
much enjoyment out of Fourth of
July or Labor Day celebration as do the
other children Of the town. But on
Christmas the children of misfortune
miss the greatest joys that lie closest
to every child's heart.
1t is good sign Of the times that
the prosperous ones in the cities are
looking more to the comfort of the poor
this year than they ever have before.
1t is philanthropy of the right kind.
To build library or endow a school is
a worthy deed, but to lead and direct
the children into paths where they may
become useful men and women, good
members of society, is the greatest
good that one can do in this world.

Gov. Brady told the convention of
county commissioners that they should
correct any errors made in assessment
when they meet as board of equalza-
lion. Very good advice, all right, but
1t isn't likely that the small taxpayer
in Idaho county, for instance, living a
hundred or 50 miles from the county
seat, is going to make trip there to
show the board where the assessor over
reached in making the assessment.
