D|CKERSON OWES
COUNTY $1,2S4.61.
According To Report OF The Board OF
Commissioners Of Accounts.

which f.. l.. Dickerson, who
served four terms as treasurer OF
this county, retiring last October,
is shown to be short in his ac-
counts with the county in the
sum Of ST, 1884 81.
The shortage, according TO
these commissioners, is with the
following funds:
School. 81 1927.
Road. .............. 9.3O.
Estray. 800.
General County. 1928.
Excess Commission. 1851.
The facts as found by the
Commissioners of Accounts were
reported to County Judge Will
liam H. Kelley Thursday of last
week in a special session of the
County Court. While Judge
Kelley entered no order on the
records of the court he stated
that he would notify Mr.. Dick
erson and each of his bondsmen
to appear in another special ses-
sion Of the court on August 2Sth,
at which time some action will be
taken in the matter.
The following gentlemen are
Mr.. Dickerson's bondsmen:

As will be seen the greatest

counts is with the school fund,
and in arriving at the figures
contained in their report the
Commissioners declare they have
first gone over tho record kept by
Mr.. Dickerson with the 10 school
districts for each year he occu.
pied the treasurer's office. The
Commissioners further declare
that Mr., Dickerson's own figures
Of tho amounts he hus charged

Fat is Out of Style

To paraphrase Caesars remark, the
directoire gown came-was seen-and
has conquered. So fat ladies are re-
duced, so to speak, to the. necessity
of either reducing at a very rapid
rate or eliminating themselves from
public view until the fashion dies
out Otherwise they risk being
ridiculous.
Since many fat ladies will not
eliminate themselves, however but,
per contra, will insist on wearing the.
curveless gown, no course is open to-
this well-meaning scribe other than
to tell them how they may eliminate
the fat.
What is there, then, that reduces
fat safely? What pleasant inexpen-
sive article is there on druggists
shelves that can reduce pound a
day without causing wrinkles or
stomach ache? What can the phar-
mocist offer as an improvement over
scanty victuaIs or ten mile walks
without breakfast? Is there anything
pleasant to take and inexpensive to
buy that win reduce one uniformly,
quickly and innocently 80 pounds
a month"; Here is the answer: Either
write the Marmola Company, Detroit
Mich, or ask your local druggist for
Marmola Prescription Tablets, and
for IS cents they or he will give you
one large case of these safe fat re-
ducers, containing so generous a
quantity of tablets that sometimes
one case only is needed to produce
the desired results. Cn you match
that for a simple solution Of your
problem?

JUDGE CALLED DOWN.
Chicago Jurist is Severely Rebuked
By His Colleagues

CHICAGO. Feb 2o.-Judge Me
Kenzie Cleland's reign as the Little
Father of the ParoEe System" as
practiced BY him in the municipal
court. has reached an inglorious end.
Judge CleIand has been criticized for
some time because he has been sus-
pending sentences durfag good be-
ravioE and his efforts 10 reform ac-
eused persons brought before him in
the criminal branch. His fellow
Tudges have declared his methods IL
legal. At stormy meeting OF the
purists he was transferred TO the civ
II branch and the order will take ef
feet Monday At a last session Of
his reporting court at which his
charges we're scheduled TO appear,
his paroles" were either discharged
or were sent to the Btidewell to
serve the original penalties imposed.
Twenty four judges were arrayed
against him in extraordinary session.
Chief Justice Olson summed Up the
case against Judge Cleland.
'~T'he courts quarrel with you
said he, addressing Judge ClelaHd, rs
mot that you may have shown kind
ness to the prisoners brought before
you. for that is done every day by
every Judge Of this court The courts
quarrel with you is that you have
usurped rights of citizenship that are
as old as the magma charter. You
have oyerriden the rights Of the poor
and the ignorant, who knew nothing
Of a writ of habeas corpus or an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court"
Other judges challenged Cleland
to stand before the people and con-
fess himself ignorant Of the princi-
pies of the law he had violated and
the Chief Justice declared that the
iurist under FIRE acknowledged the
danger from the ripper courts when,
as he once did, he said, he would dis
miss the case against a paroled pris-
oner in order to keep an appeal OF an
application for writ Of habeas cor
pus from being heard.
Judge Cleand told. the assembled
Judges that what he did in his court
was none of their business and that
as long as he continued as judge he
would administer justice as he saw

THE KEY or TEBALDO
Curious Messenger Of Death In
vented by an italian.
TRAGIC LEGEND OF VENICE.

Unique wsapon With Whielp' tho Mar
Of Mystery and Murder sonahs "a
Slay His Way to the Hand Of thS
Woman He Loved.
The chronicles Of Venice tell that In
the earlier part Of the seventeenth cen
tury a certain stranger. a man OF dark
and sinister aspect, arrived in the city.
His name was TebaIdo. He appears
to have been man Of unruly passions.
OF great intellectual power, but one
whose talents found their chief outlet
In crime
One day he observed beautlful girl
leaving church, attended In q manner
which showed she belonged to family
OF high degree. She was, In fact, the
daughter Of an ancient and noble
house. He fell violently In love with
her. Though far removed from hlnlin
station, his bind passion took no count
Of this fact, and he. determined to sue
for her hand.
There proved to be, however, more
insuperable obstacle to his suit. The
girl was already betrothed to another,
a young nObleman Of almost equal
rank and fortune. The knowledge did
not deter Tebaido. who boldly present
ed himself before the girls parents In
the capacity ef suitor for her hand.
AS might have been expected, be met
with O. curt and unceremonIous rebuff.
The repulse rankled In his mind. En-
ragged beyond measure, he shut himself
up In his own house and there secretly
studisd a means Of revenge. Pro
foundly skilled In the mechanical arts.
he allowed himself no rest until he had
invented most formidable and death
dealing weapon. This was a large key.
the handle. Of which was 50 construEts
ed that In could be turned at VIII.
When 1t was thus turned a secret
spring was disclosed. which. on being
pressed launched from the key head a
fine needle or lancet. The latter was
IT such delicate construction that II
penetrated the body Of the victim and
buried itself deep in the flesh without
leaving any external trace.
The marriage Of the betrothed cou.
pie was fixed to take place In the prin-
cipal church In Venice on a certain
day. Before the ceremony Tebaldo.
cuunlngly disguised. stationed himself
at the church door armed with bis dia
bolical weapon. AS the bridegroom
was about to enter the building the
concealed watcher pressed the spring
and sent the deadly steel hIncet into
the breast Of his victim. The young
nobleman had no suspicion Of injury
at the moment. In the midst Of the
ceremony. however, he was seized
with a sharp spasm OF pain and sank
fainting on the steps of the altar, He
was hurriedIy conveyed to his home,
where the leading Venice physicians
were summoned to attend him. In
spite Of their unremittlng efforts he
sank and died. nor were they able to
discover the nature Of the mysterious
and fatal seizure.
With the removal Of his rival, Te.
baldo once more presented himself be-
fore the girls parents and renewed his
request for her hand. Their refusal to
listen to him sealed their doom. Ia

BACK DOORS LIKELY TO-
Be CLOSED TODAY
HARD WORKING BAR KEEP
ERS WILL PROBABLY
GET A REST.

Perhaps if the sheriff and police
officers were TO peek over transoms
and through key holes" today they
would find the saloons as quiet as a
Sunday school room on a Monday
morning For II looks as IL this Is
to be a quiet Sunday in Astoria
with all the front and back doors Of
the places Of good cheer closed tight.
The presence of the grand jury is the
all-important fact, and the scary feel
ing that is abroad since the indict-
ments and big fines in the circuit
court the past week.
If the saloons are closed today
that fact viii postpone for time
longer the dilemma which threatens
the police force. for like a bogey
man the Curtis resolution arises to
worry the minds of the hard working
police officers. That resolution calls
upou them to close up the saloons
on Sundays or else to lose their
salaries.
AAs long as the laws are on the
statute books I win enforce them

tons are speaking louder than his

ably that viii be the principal work
of .he week.
The Nyberg cases will arise Tues
day. probably. and if he is convicted
on any one of the eight indictments
stilI against him it viii apparently
mean a jail sentence for him, as the
laws in relation. to selling liquor in a
@dry' precinct provide that upon a
second conviction a Jail sentence
shall be imposed. 1t is understood
that the district attorney viii insis'
that Nyberg either plead guilty or
stand trial on all of the indictments
still outstanding.

SPECIAL DISPATCHES FROM
THIS COUNTRY TELL OF
THE FEELING.

TOXIC, Feb. The special
correspondence TO the Asahi from its
San Francisco correspondent con
tinues to represent the situation as
most alarming, These specials claim
that the anti-Iapanese sentiment is
rapidly spreading and that the war
feeling in America is general,
The specials, widely circulated and
copied, contribute 10 saStain the feel
ing Of uneasiness among the Japan
ese people, Niehi Nichi a paper
owned by X. Kato, the Japanese am
bassador to England which commen-
ted with great bitterness during the
earlier stages of the anu-Japanese
Legislation by the California Legisla'
ture in lengthy editorial on the an
i-Japauese sentiment in America
published today says:
Americans continue to regard Jap
an with suspicion and this ill-feeling
continues notwithstanding the efforts
Of the Japanese government and peo-
pie to prove the sincerity and cor
diality OF their feelings This dis
trust extends throughout Europe. II
is incomprehensible to our people
why America and Europe continue
to regard Japan as seeking war. Two
wars were sufficient. We want peace
in the future. War with America
could only be forced by the United
States threatening the independence
Of Japan. II is unnecessary for
America to fortify itself against Jap
an"
The editorial concludes by quoting
the text of Roosevelts telegram to
the California Legislature expressing
the belief that the passage Of the bill
would lead to serious consequences.
The paper contends that this message
shows that even what the federal
government regarded as probable
but it is utterly mistaken.
