these of the Imperialists' I have take up considerable of your valuable space, Mr. Editor, but before closing this communication please permit me to warn the good people of Jeffer- son county that they had better keep they eyes on Collier and Oracle and their candidates for the Legislature. There may be good deal of truth in the report that their intimate ob ject is to divide the county into two sections, or in other words, make two counties out of this one with the Ark ansas river at the dividing lne, with the said Imperial Magnates" Lord of all they survey.
 The election of their candidates would mean this very thing.
 For that reason, among others, the writer is against most of the candi- dates selected by the Tax Dodgers League for the simple and good req son that by their meekly accepting it's dictates and permitting their names to float at the masthead of their ul- timatum, flung at the balance of the people of Jefferson county, they show ed by their anxiety to hold office their willingness to be the slaves of a few people like Collier and Oracle, in- stead of the servants of all the people of Jefferson county. 1 prefer that all the people have voice in the selec- tion of it's candidates rather than leave so important a matter to even such wonderful combination-Coi- Tier and Oracle.

TAG DAY WAS
 SUCCESSFUL ONE LADIES AND GIRLS WERE BUSY YESTERDAY TAGGING THE
 "MERE MEN,"
SOME MOST LIBERAL
Amount Realized Will Be Made Known In A Day or Two-Judge
 Vance Wore The Most Tags.

Tag Day-a red letter day in the calendar of the Ladies Hospital and Benevolent Association-Was oD- served and all day many ladies and a number of little girls were busy pinning tags on everyone who came within halling distance in the down. town district. Many prizes had been offered by the business men of the city for the lady receiving the most money during the day and, en- courged by these generous offers, as well as desire to obtain funds for the hospital, they vied with each other in spying any mere man who was so unfortunate as to not have a tag.
 Several pleasant surprises were in store for some of the ladies and also served to show that the Association had warm friends among the business men of the city. M E. Bloom, cash fer of the Citizens Bank, after being tagged several times, sent for one of the elderly taggers and presented her with $5. Capt. Sebastian Geisreiter. at the request of young lady tag ger, permitted himself to be tagged and gave in return a 8 bill, There were several such instances but these were the only two whose names were learned.
 The total amount secured during the day is not yet known but will be published as soon as all of the little banks are turned in. One of the ladies stated last night that they would be grateful, no matter what the amount, and felt that everyone had given the most they could. The list of prizewinners will be made known as soon as the returns are all in.
 The only prize awarded yesterday was the one for the gentleman wear ing the most tags. Judge w. D. Vance was the lucky-or unlucky- man, and he was literally covered with the tags. He received an um- brella from the Dreyfus Department Store, but he was heard to remark that it had cost him dearly.

JUDGE BORDWEll
 FyADES THE ISSUE
Cleyelry Avoids Handing Down Decision Affecting Jurors In
 McNamara Case.

Los Angeles. Cal, Oct. 20.-Judge Walter N., Bordwell this afternoo,
 cleverly avoided handing down de cision n the cases of opinionateG , jurors in the trial of James B. Nc , Namara, by calling veniremen under , challenge to the stand for further
 examination. The court made this
 practical move when both the prose
 cution and defense had completed ex-
 animation of twelve of the men in the jury box and further business could not be transacted until some action was taken.
 The question at issue was whether venireman who had formed an opinion either as to the cause of the destruction of the Times bu ldino - the guilt of the defendant from read ing newspaper rumors The prose cution contended that under Section 1076 of the California code, an opin- ion thus formed was not sufficient cause fer Disqualification providing the state Of mind of the prospective jurors was such that they could lay aside this opinion and be governed by the evidence in the ease.
 That Judge Bordwell was not pre- pared to decide the important point became evident late in the afternoon when he called Otto A. Johnson, a landscape farmer, to the stand. John son had been challenged by the de fense when he declared he enter toined a strong bias against labor unions and that he had fixed opin- ion as to the cause of the Times ex- plosion. Under the skillful questions of the court, Johnson admitted that he could not give McNamara a fair trial and on this admission he was discharged from further service.
 George w Mckee, also under chal ienge by the defense. was next call ed The court had some difficulty in d'aWing him into a direct adm ssion He Was still on the stand when court adjourned until Monday. The case of k. Mcintosh. under challenge by the state, will be heard next
