good things to eat, and the happy
little inmates of the Orphans

Liberty Lake on a real outing. Two
weeks among the pine trees, the
rocks and to paddle about the cool
lake is about the greatest thing in
their estimation they have ever
heard of, and they are gathered
about in the big play ground to-
day eagerly discussing their child

two whole weeks.
Still it is not all SO sure. Maybe

The crushers are to be operated

The county is to buy the ground

enough money left after paying for

thatf there is a fair snow to have
the legislature locate one here.

NEW NEAL BANK
DIVIDENDS IN OCTOBER
DepOsitOrs Are Slowly Getting Their
Money Back.

Another dividend will be paid by
the receivers of the defunct Neal bank
on or about October Is, provided the
court is willing that the amount on
hand then shall be paid out.
Whether this amount will be 10, Is
or 20 per cent. can be determined only
at that date, as the funds on hand
amount to only 100000 or less than
enough to pay over 10 per cent now.
This much was learned yesterday.
The receivers are urging every en-
deavor to dispose of other property
belonging to the Neal bank in order
that a larger dividend may be ordered
by the court, if it is desired. The
funds on hand are held to be trust,
and are stored away in real money
where they could be paid over to any
bank the court ordered in ten minutes.
1t is not being loaned out, and for that
reason is drawing no interest.
1t would take nearly a month to
draw the individual checks and make
arrangements to pay out any dividend
1t is understood the receivers are
exceedingly anxious to have another
dividend declared, and will so recon-
mend to the court next month.

was it made from the more obviously

ment be construed as a criticism of

Tariff reform will have to come in

view of the subject as the Republican
party and is not a promising instru-

the group of dissenting Republican
Senators. Their discussion of the tar

Item.
All his life in a union shop
He'd daily earned his bread;
They buried him in union grave
When the union man was dead.
He had a union doctor,
And he had union nurse;
He had union coffin,
And he had a union hearse
They put him in a union grave
When he was good and dead;
They put union monument
Just above his head.
And then he went to Heaven
But to stay he didn't care;
He kicked because he said that some
Non-union men were there.
He went down to the Other Place,
And there produced his card,
Then Satan drew an earnest face
And studied good and hard.
And then he laughed, his hands did rub
Till he thought he'd never stop,

CALLS III INDUSTRIOUS AND
UBIQUITOUS.

1t is not often that a journal of
the type of the Review of Reviews
takes decided stand against a piece
of legislation like the tariff bill. Nom
partisan in its attitude toward public
questions, the Review of Reviews still
seems to feel that the enormity of the
injustice perpetrated on the public
calls for some denunciation of the
Payne-Aldrich bill, and in its current
number it shows very plainly it's at
titude toward that latest evidence of
what the people may~expect from the
interests that control the Republican
party in Congress.
The simple fact is that the Payne
tariff is the most thoroughgoing high
protectionist measure that has ever
been enacted in this country or in
any other land, says the Review in
beginning its estimate of that law. 1t
is far too intricate for the understand
ing of any one man, unless he has de-
voted himself for years to the sole
and exclusive study of tariff details.
For non-eXperts who have given sew
eral solid months recently to the
tariff question, Mr.. Payne, Senator
Aldrich, and others in Congress are
quite remarkably well informed But
the Review holds that it would be rid
iculOus to insist upon the view that
these or any other gentlemen in Cong
ress actually made the tariff sched-
ules. In this tariff, as in all preced-
ing tariffs, the schedules have been
worked out upon the basis of the
technical knowledge and the urgent
demands of the people actually engag-
ed in the numerous industries seeking
some form of benefit by virtue of
some particular part of the tariff en-
actment.
In its total effect this new law, so
far as the customs duties are concern
ed, the Review holds, has not justified
hot extra summer session of Con-
gress lasting twenty weeks The whole
business serves to illustrate the fulfil
ity of the present way of dealing with
the tariff. THE chief value of the ses-
sion lay in that part of the great SEN
ate debate which set forth the igno-
rance, folly, and favoritism, as we'll as
the recklessness involved in making
tariff schedules by dickers and trades
among the representatives of private
interests. The tariff in detail is GER
tainly most monstrous and iniquitous
performance. This remark is by no
means meant to attack those who hold
sincerely to the theory of protection
and who believe that protection can
be put into practice on broad, general
grounds. But the present bill was not

resented.

Camden, Sept. 17.-After an expe-
rience of six months the trial mar
riage of Mrs Roxana Williams and
her husband, James Williams, has
proven failure. They were married
six months ago. Mrs Williams says
that she was satisfied and willing to
continue living with her husband
Williams, on the contrary, was not
satisfied and yesterday he put his
wife out of the house, telling her that
the venture had not been successful.
At the time of their marriage they
signed a contract to the effect that
they were to give welded life six
months trial. The husband has this
paper and he will use it in defending
the suit which his wife contemplates
bringing to force him to support her.
Mrs. Williams alleges that all went
well between her and her husband
until he met another woman whom he
now wants to marry
