PARRI STANDS FAIR CHANCE OFXOINCFREE Testimony Tends to Prove Shoot ing Was in Self Defence. KISS DREW A BIG; KNIFE Then Parr! Says He Used a Shot Uun lo Save His Own Life. Nat Much Inltreil Manifest la the Hungsrlai Murder Cue Now In Pra(rUB. The general belief of those who havt heard the testimony I* that ;tlie State has presented a very weak ease against iiiko Parri, the Alpha Hungarian, who is now on trial at Uelviderc for the mur- der of his countryimin, Jou Kiss. Then are many who believe that Parri will be acquitted. The State finished with its witnesses early yesterday morning and ex-Judge William H. Morrow, counsel assigned by the'court to defend the prisoner, occu- pied tho rest of tho day with his wit- nesses. There was strong evidence pre- sented by both the State's witnesses and the witnesses for the defence to show that Parri was justified in shooting Kiss in protection of hin own life. The tes- timony tends to show, without doubt that Kiss tried to cut I'arri with a long Mailed penknife before Parri used the gun. I'arri and his wife ran a boarding house nt Alpha and had several Hun- garian boarder*, one of whom was Kins Jloth were drunk and they quarreled when Kiss spoke of leaving the house Parri hail a gnu and Kiss undertook to take it away from hint.' In the strug- gle it went off and the contents went through the board ceiling of Hus room This was early in the evening. About niidnight Kiss came buck to the Parri hoiisu after passing the even- ing drinking iir Fay's saloon and qunr- elled with Pitrri, who hnd gnno to lied Parri went down stairs and Kiss fol- lowed him. A knife was brought into play and I'arri contends that ho shot Kias in self-defense. Kiss died almost immediately, thepoiut of the gun being BO close wheivit was fired that his cloth- ing got ablaze. Parri and his wife sat in court near the prisoner's counsel, Parri seemed un affected by the proceedings and, being unable to understand English, probably failed to realize hisfesrious position. His wife, who can speak KngMsh moderate!} well/ ii|>|»it.xiali:d the niluatiuti"- belle and cried often, lioth of them are young. Parri looks like a harmless fel low. A considerable portion of the Hiingar inn population of Alpha was present as witnesses. Most of them had to be as aisled, by interpreters. There was at much Huii-rariaii jargon poured into tin cars of the" court, coinipel ami jury thai it is probable they will see Hungarian images and hear Hungarian talk in their Bleep for many days to come. Opening of the Case. It-'was iivti liiiiitilW of "eleven o'clock when Justice; Swuyzo reached .Uclvidun Monday morning and opened court. The prisoner was brought into the-room by the sheriff and Hit; prosecutor moved the trial of the indictme Mr, Morrow,' counsel for the prisoner, asked for an adjournment''of the cane. Hn explained that he had gone to Alpha early last week, but had been unable to •get the stories of some of Lho witnesses :owing; to;the f:tct: thai: the,iluisgnrin priest, wliom lie expected to use as a interpreter, was out of town. Ueside this, hc:said, an important, witness, 'who had'been- in lho company 1 'of "'Hie/'police ' as" an interpreter on the night of. the tragedy, was missing, being ..somewhere in Pennsylvania. ._ " The court refused i!io motion for an adjournment and as.-tired Mr. Morrow -: prisonerV : ("nsi i; -"would- riot sulTcr I absence of this witness.

The prosecutor pointed out'that the actual killing would have to be fixed by circumstantial evidence.. .: Kobcrt Howcll, civil engineer, of X'hil- lipsburg, gave testimony to establish the authenticity and correctness of the mnji and plans lie had prepared of the Parr housii nnd a neighboring house, Duyid Frcedinun, nforeigner of BOIIIL- dcticription, said he was a merchant at Alpha mid lived next door to the Parri house. He heard the report of a gun at 12.05 o'clock on the nignt of the mur- der. He looked out of a window but saw nothing. Some time afterward he look cd out of Hie window again ruid Haw i mnn'ts body with the clothing ablaze lying in the rear of his house. This was Kiss's body. Tho witness said: "I went to my front icdrooni window thinking to call help. When 1 came back I saw three men near tny barn. 1 rapped on the window inu 'niiip one says: 'Who's dot.' .1 -uy-i 'I'm ilot." The witness's remark-) caused so muci amusement - that the court, hud to rap for order. • .\ Another outburst came a minute later when Freed mini said: "I then called a tan going to tho store but lie said hu would b« back whtii ho returned." There Was "Something Between Them.' The witness said that Parri told him the (lrad man was Joseph Kiss and that lu; hnd shot him because there was "unmclhiiig between them." In the -cross-examination Freed inn Hiiid he saw blood on the snow hut didn't know how much there wns of it been 'h« didn't measure-it. 1 * He said a big knife laid on the ground alongside Kiss's body.

The cross-examination of.this witness was cimtiiiuiid til cuiisideriiblu k-iigtl Tuesday morning and lie and Mr. Mor- row had some heutcd words in which it was give and take.

Asked for an expression of his vieivu on the Biibjuct of u new water company, Councilman Archie Lunco handed a rep- rt'.^ntativo of this paper a statement containing tlie views of the water com- mittee of the Common Council. It is as follows: Would it pay Washington to own its own wiiltii' ptaaL? We say yes. Now, Mr. Taxpayer, let us sit down mid- figure' Wo will say, fur instance, this borough had a plant a t a cost of 960,000..'nnd: the lo«n Was bonded for that amount. Some people would say right away that this would raise the taxi* and they will make you believe it, Hut wu will show you different. Now the income of the present plant is about $0,000 per year and, of eourse, wo will figure.on thin basis. The inter- est 011 the bonded indebtedness of $00,- 000 would be $2,400 per year. , Sav.it would cost for salary,and repairs $1,800 per year and that there was a bond of S2,000 paid off every year—that would leave us the balance of the $2,800 to be used for borough purposes. Xoiv the borough asks for about 000 to be raised by taxation for the use of the borough. Take the $2,800 each year from this and you can sec that in- stead of taxing you for $S,000, we will t;ix you for $5,200, giving you the bene- fit of this 011 the first year, nnd, as the years go by, adding to this the interest tliat we save on tlio bonds.as we redui So you will see that Hie plant will pay for itself in ahout 24 years and your tax will bo reduced all the time, and, as tins town grows and more water is needed, the water-rates can be cut nearly in two—or, in other words, where voii are paying $12 a year it will cost o'nlv $10, ami $7 rates will be euC to $f>, and byVthe time the plant is paid for you will have fiiougli from the - water to pay all. the borough.tax..

Fulpcr, Secretary of,; the Washington Water Co., gave an inter- view to a, representative of the];Star on Tuesday afternoon. He told'in,-.consi- derable detail of tho discouraging condi- tions ..under, which the plant:was.built;, of' tho'possibilities'of losing the Beatty fnctory...unless there was.a good water iystcm;;of the'refusal'of the town to install a plant; of the great task of raia- j ing sufficient money by subscriptions to warrant the commencement of trie work; of getting money out of the bank through individual notes.to complete the system and of the great amount of work done by tho olltcers for years without any salary whatsoever. "Now then," he continued, "I haven't a word to say if an independent water company builds another plant and ex- periments with its own money; but I do object, as a citizen and taxpayer of. the town, to have my money used to pay for experiments with a new water sup- ily. My understanding was that this ule survey wna made by private inter- ests, yet nt the last meeting of the Com- mon Council the work was accepted by the borough, which means that the ex- pense- will be saddled upon the tax- payers. ;•; "The advocates nf iniinicipal owner- iliip are now engaged circulating peti- tions as required by law.

KISS DREW A BIG; KNIFEThen Parr! Says He Used a Shot Uun lo

Nat Much Inltreil Manifest la the HungsrlaiMurder Cue Now In Pra(rUB.

The general belief of those who havtheard the testimony I* that ;tlie Statehas presented a very weak ease againstiiiko Parri, the Alpha Hungarian, whois now on trial at Uelviderc for the mur-der of his countryimin, Jou Kiss. Thenare many who believe that Parri will beacquitted.

The State finished with its witnessesearly yesterday morning and ex-JudgeWilliam H. Morrow, counsel assigned bythe'court to defend the prisoner, occu-pied tho rest of tho day with his wit-nesses. There was strong evidence pre-sented by both the State's witnesses andthe witnesses for the defence to showthat Parri was justified in shooting Kissin protection of hin own life. The tes-timony tends to show, without doubtthat Kiss tried to cut I'arri with a longMailed penknife before Parri used thegun.

I'arri and his wife ran a boardinghouse nt Alpha and had several Hun-garian boarder*, one of whom was KinsJloth were drunk and they quarreledwhen Kiss spoke of leaving the houseParri hail a gnu and Kiss undertook totake it away from hint.' In the strug-gle it went off and the contents wentthrough the board ceiling of Hus roomThis was early in the evening.

About niidnight Kiss came buck tothe Parri hoiisu after passing the even-ing drinking iir Fay's saloon and qunr-elled with Pitrri, who hnd gnno to liedParri went down stairs and Kiss fol-lowed him. A knife was brought intoplay and I'arri contends that ho shotKias in self-defense. Kiss died almostimmediately, thepoiut of the gun beingBO close wheivit was fired that his cloth-ing got ablaze.

Parri and his wife sat in court nearthe prisoner's counsel, Parri seemed unaffected by the proceedings and, beingunable to understand English, probablyfailed to realize hisfesrious position. Hiswife, who can speak KngMsh moderate!}well/ ii|>|»it.xiali:d the niluatiuti"- belleand cried often, lioth of them areyoung. Parri looks like a harmless fellow.

A considerable portion of the Hiingarinn population of Alpha was present aswitnesses. Most of them had to be asaisled, by interpreters. There was atmuch Huii-rariaii jargon poured into tincars of the" court, coinipel ami jury thaiit is probable they will see Hungarianimages and hear Hungarian talk in theirBleep for many days to come.

Duyid Frcedinun, n foreigner of BOIIIL-dcticription, said he was a merchant a tAlpha mid lived next door to the Parrihouse. He heard the report of a gun at12.05 o'clock on the nignt of the mur-der. He looked out of a window but sawnothing. Some time afterward he lookcd out of Hie window again ruid Haw imnn'ts body with the clothing ablazelying in the rear of his house. Thiswas Kiss's body.

When 1 came back I saw three men neartny barn. 1 rapped on the window inu'niiip one says: 'Who's dot.' .1 -uy-i 'I'milot."

Another outburst came a minute laterwhen Freed mini said: "I then called a

The witness said that Parri told himthe (lrad man was Joseph Kiss and thatlu; hnd shot him because there was"unmclhiiig between them."

In the -cross-examination Freed innHiiid he saw blood on the snow hut didn'tknow how much there wns of it been'h« didn't measure-it.1* He said a bigknife laid on the ground alongsideKiss's body.

In a spirit of fairness to both ni(.__,I he Star prints the views of the oxpo-•rnt-t and opprui^Tjls of municipal own-

iship, which are heriito annexed.

Asked for an expression of his vieivuon the Biibjuct of u new water company,Councilman Archie Lunco handed a rep-rt'.^ntativo of this paper a statementcontaining tlie views of the water com-mittee of the Common Council. I t is asfollows:

Would it pay Washington to own itsown wiiltii' ptaaL? We say yes.

Now, Mr. Taxpayer, let us sit downmid- figure' Wo will say, fur instance,this borough had a plant a t a cost of960,000..'nnd: the lo«n Was bonded fortha t amount. Some people would sayright away that this would raise thetaxi* and they will make you believe it,Hut wu will show you different.

Now the income of the present plantis about $0,000 per year and, of eourse,wo will figure.on thin basis. The inter-est 011 the bonded indebtedness of $00,-000 would be $2,400 per year. , S a v . i twould cost for salary,and repairs $1,800per year and that there was a bond ofS2,000 paid off every year—that wouldleave us the balance of the $2,800 to beused for borough purposes.

Xoiv the borough asks for about000 to be raised by taxation for the useof the borough. Take the $2,800 eachyear from this and you can sec tha t in-stead of taxing you for $S,000, we willt;ix you for $5,200, giving you the bene-fit of this 011 the first year, nnd, as theyears go by, adding to this the interesttliat we save on tlio bonds.as we redui

So you will see tha t Hie plant willpay for itself in ahout 24 years and yourtax will bo reduced all the time, and, astins town grows and more water isneeded, the water-rates can be cut nearlyin two—or, in other words, where voiiare paying $12 a year i t will cost o'nlv$10, ami $7 rates will be euC to $f>, andbyVthe time the plant is paid for youwill have fiiougli from the - water topay all. the borough.tax..": .Head,'meditate nnd •"consider this "andsee it it is not true. .

\VM. S. COWELL,ARCHIE LANCE,

Committee.

Mr. j . E. Fulpcr, Secretary of,; theWashington Water Co., gave an inter-view to a, representative of the];Star onTuesday afternoon. He told'in,-.consi-derable detail of tho discouraging condi-tions ..under, which the plant:was.built;,of' tho'possibilities'of losing the Beattyfnctory...unless there was .a good wateriystcm;;of the'refusal'of the town toinstall a plant; of the great task of raia- j

ing sufficient money by subscriptions towarrant the commencement of trie work;of getting money out of the bankthrough individual notes.to complete thesystem and of the great amount of workdone by tho olltcers for years withoutany salary whatsoever.

"Now then," he continued, "I haven'ta word to say if an independent watercompany builds another plant and ex-periments with its own money; but Ido object, as a citizen and taxpayer of.the town, to have my money used to payfor experiments with a new water sup-ily. My understanding was that thisule survey wna made by private inter-

ests, yet nt the last meeting of the Com-mon Council the work was accepted bythe borough, which means that the ex-pense- will be saddled upon the tax-payers. ;•;

"The advocates nf iniinicipal owner-iliip are now engaged circulating peti-tions as required by law. To get theliicstion to a vote of the people theyin! obliged to get one-half of the aiHcssed valuation of the town, acuurdingto liiHt year's tax duplicate. Now sticka pin right here and remember what Isay—they can't do it. They uaift getthe necessary signatures. A box of elgars to you if I'm wrong.

"Now put another pin here. Theytoll you that another water plant canbe built for ?.">0,000 or no. Don't be-lieve it. Three times that amount wilbu nearer.

I.i;t iim say another thing. Theyhaven't got the water supply. I knowand have investigated the supply at PortGulden which has-been selected as. the'real thing.' It would he unfit for domentie lino if impounded, There is prac-tically no flow there in the summer time,and the natural Hitpply would never besufficient. It has not got the necessarybasin and the building of a ten-milliongallon reservoir and dam would be animmense undertaking that would cost

grout amount of niuiiey. In the dryasons I have seen this stream when

there wasn't enough water in it to wetit .stone. I know all about it andwouldn't pay fifty cents for a perpetualright of tlio stream.

"We have water rights thnt wens se-cured for little or nothing that todaycouldn't be bought for §115,000. If byreason of owning a cheap system, eco-nomically managed, our company canndd to its profits, that should not serven* n criterion as to what profits an-other system will bring if it costs threeor four times the,amount of ours.

"Orange has just, got through oxperi-tmmling with a new witter plant. Theresult-is they have a 390.000 -plant ontheir hands that is practically worth-less. . . . . .

'Thavti the documents to show thatWashington is guttiiitt water 20 per cent,cheaper than the majority of towns inNew Jersey.

Over One Hundred Persons Unite WithPresbyterian Church Sunday.

The Wonderful Success of'Pastor Johnson'sLabors in Upbuilding the Church.

Sunday last was a memorable day inthe history of the old ^yllshington Pres-.byteriun ehurch. :..-It , wiis^inadc.-so byreason of the fact that a greater nuin-nor of persons were admitted to mem-bership than ever before at one -lime;that it was the most largely'attendedcommunion since the ehurcbJ.was estab-lished over a century ago.

After the usual order of services ofthe morning, including a sermon by thepastor, Rev. Frederick W.

Jfr. Miller's resolution was de-signed to secure from the Attorney Gen-eral an idea of the situation, because somahy'of tho lawmakers had been impor-tuned to aid in the passage of an actrestoring'.-the exemption. .The AttorneyGeneral, however, declared that such anact would share the fate of the previouslaw if it were tested, because exactly thesame principle is involved in both.

' . , . • • '

There ia never an effect without a cause.Xhe Star's advertisers aro profiting as tho result of both. ;

The murder trial look precedence yes- ;:lerday and when the freeholders reached ' 'Uelviderc they found that Justice <Swnyze and his court were in command ""••-of the usual meeting place. Tim forced '*the freeholders over into the grand jury "r o o m . - • . ; -,- / . • .- . ;• ° j '•• 1 - * .

There was nothing of 'absorbing inter-';i-st to come before the freeholders at this "sciision, but there was conaiderable com- iincut upon the side, bearing on the poor '=niilroail accommodations, for !reachingthe county seat, which will be experi- Iciiccd when the "short line" train:on thoL. & II. is abandoned,merely a matterui a few days. There will simply bo no ;.iiccoiiimodations to speak of when this -- 'service is stopped and there is reasonable Jcause for alarm in Belvidere over this if a c t , • . • • . . . ••/- • •• :"-,_ -::* •;•'.

Oncfreeholdcr dropped this significant 'remark to a : Belvidere; number:.: "You .-fellows in lielvidere had better hustle '"together some transportation facilities, Ior you stand a good chance of losing the -county sent." In view of the fact that vthe county buildings urgently need'ex-tensive repairs, jf not rebuilding, therein considerable logic in the remark. •'•

It is understood Hmt the Phillipsburg -•contingent. strongly favors tho removal -'-of the county buildings to Phillipaburg, ;:;and while it may never result in the tcounty scat going to that place, there is -a possibility that an agitation of the -subject at this opportune time might re-sult in removing the county capital toWashington, the most centrally located :.'place,' or to some other accessible town. ••••

Parenthetically it might be stated ,:thill- the people of Washington:-a» n-<• •whole are not enthusmsliu"over bringing '•the' county sent here, nlthough Free- '-holder Mowder thinks it would: be just "'-.the ticket and hns gone so :iar as to -'•select what be thinks is the. ideal.site •'for it. • " ?.

Routine business occupied the alien- *'•'tion of the freeholders in the -morning. 'Freeholder Walters read a letter which -he hnd received from the chief engineer 'of the Lackawanna Railroad company. 'It: was an answer to^a letter wliich-Mr. • ^Walters, had sent relative to' the pro- "position of;,- biiying-ther old-rai l road^. .bridge across the Delaware river above 'Delaware, which, is desired for a public '.''•bridge. It was the opinion of some of .Vthe freeholders that the price asked ;by •the railroad company is altogether too "high. He states that there are 770 tons •-of iron in it, .which they will soil to the <county for $35 a ton, a'total of $27,100.""'•The freeholders. figured that new iron •'•would cost only about $37,000. The let-Lor was placed on file.

The committee to investigate Justice ' 'of the Peace accounts feebly reported ;''progress." Its mission-is ended and.ifc -•.will probably never be hoard from^again. '••

A ])ortion of the new law which was ,'introduced by Mr. Duffiold in the Housenf Assembly on January 20 was read.; j :J'lift bill was prepared by. the. Charities7T"Aid Association and proposes to create1 Commission of Charitable Institutions,insisting of seven members, which ".hatl havo ])ower to inspect and overseeill charitable iiistilntioiiH in the State.. -This bill, nt:-is, said, -was -drafted:, at--.: ...:.he:"- instigation"- of *r Govcrno""-':Murphy,J"'^-~-tnd some .think it is.aimed almost di-ccily at the Morris Plains Hospital, .,,.-uth a view to breaking up some fancied^ ' ,rrcgiilarilie's: iii-that"iiistitution.""'"""""""•"T1"

JUDGE THEO.TALKS TO THE SICK

, F you are run down, worn out, getup in the morning almost as tired aswhen you go to bed, need a rest theworst way but cannot spare the time—cannot afford to take your handsoffthetillerof your work—then, saysJudge Theodore Mayer, of Chicago'sfamous Chicago Avenue -Police

Court, you are in just the condition I was in a while back.j to the sedentary nature of my occupation, six months •go I fell

decidedly out of sorts and I thought I would have to lay aside my judicialduties and spend some time at a health resort.' My appetite'began to fall meand I was subject to a condition of general lassitude. ' -; t

"A physician who is one of my intimate friends told me that I exhibitedthe primary symptoms of catarrh of the Btomach. I was about to put myselfunder bis particular caro when I heard from a number of the polico oEucenattached to the station that they had beenrelieved of similar ailments through the usaof Mucu-Tone, so 1 sent to tho United DrugCo. at Boston for a trial bottle. What thereal nature of my ailment wai I cannot say.It has gone now, and I am as well as I liavoever been in my life. A few bottles of theremedy removed the last veBtige of mytrouble. Having received such beneficialresults from it, X have no hesitation iarecommending Mucu-Tone."

Judge Theodore Mayer presides at thoChicago Avenue police court, a court famousin Chicago's criminal history. Hero it wasthat the anarchists were arraigned; latertho Cronin murder Buspecta and AdolphLeutgert, the wife murderer. Judge Mayer • . • . . . . .Is in close touch with the vast cosmopolitan population of Chicago. Within hisjurisdiction great colonies from all the nations of Europe have made theirhomes. He is known personally to thousands in all walks of life and he has abroad sympathy with the hopes and aspirations of the great body of the commonpeople. Stern and severe when occasion demands, he is still the soul of sym-pathy when misfortune and inexperience bring a prisoner before him. Hisadvice is frequently sought by the residents of his territory and frequently

Working through the starved bloodvessels. JRexallMucu-Tone drives out the catarrhal poison, stin Elatesthe muco-cells into the active exercise of their functions,fills the arteries with rich, red blood, tones up the stom-ach, restores the appetite and builds up the body-.

There is no slow, uphill work about this. From thevery first dose its strengthening influence will be felt.Lethargy and pain will slip away and in their place willcome the fresh, buoyant vigor and power of applicationof the long ago.

Don't be skeptical; don't wait until you are flat onyour back. But give Rexall Mucu-Ton« a trial—just onetrial. If you don't feel better'immediately you can stoptaking it and We will give back your money.

Sold only at our store. Large bottle, 89 cents.

MANUFACTURERS'CLOTHING STOCKS

THE GREATEST OF ALLGREAT SACRIFICES : ;.

THE most stupendous, and withal, remarkable achieve-ment in Ihe entire career of a department famousfor phenomenal value giving. The finest, most fash-ionable and worthiestproductionsof makers who stand

foremost among the best in this country—of those who arerepresented here because ot the excepli >nal merit of theirgarments in every detail of workmanship and finish. Nosimilar movement for years has involved such assortments—no sale ever, here or anywhere, that has afforded asmany or such splendid opportunities for the accomplish-ment of huge money savings. Hundreds of lots, includingOvercoats, Suits and Trousers, purchased at tremendousand never before equaled concessions. Many deals havebeen put through—some large, otheis small, but all of sucha character that the importance can scarcely be over-estimated. A purchase of over two thousand pairs of" Werner made" trousers for a price that makes it possibleto retail them for a trifle more than cost of materials.Overcoats and Suits have come from many sources, andwe succeeded in securing the balance of stock and samplesof E.'E. Phillips, 715 Broadway, New York city, for figuresthat in no instance represent more than a part of theirvalue. All in all, we have never been in a position to offerour patrons the choicest of high grade clothing so muchunder value, and we guarantee that no garment here canbe'duplicated for less than from one quarter to a thirdmore and double the prices named during this sale.

Exquisite Little Comedy.

Tho play Is by Plorro WoIiT, admir-ably adapted by Miss Mlldrea Aid rich andIs by all odds tho most tonder, witty, anddelightful Uttlo comedy that tho town hasBeon In years. A play so fragrant andsweet BB this roBtorosono's falling faith Inthe modern playwright. Already it labeing played In six different languages laEuropo, and in each has scored a trl-nmphant success. Tho reason Is Blmploenough. Tho play Is closo to nature andso human that It draws forth both toarsand tangbter at the same time. Iu BO moreepocta the cast-which Mr. Hackett hasgot together at the Madison Bqu»re Issuperior to the French original. If thisexquisite Uttlo comedy does not draw tbopublic nut of the shell In which It has laindormant all this winter then the managersmight as well throw up their bands Indespair. That portion of the public whichhas clamored for art will find It here;those who want laughter will come homewith their sides aching and a red nosebesides for a tear lurks under every second

igh in this little masterpiece, and thosewho simply go the theatre in search ofsheer forgetfulness will let all their caresshift for at least two hours and a naif.

Wherever tho insectarmy has pot in its work, it waa no un-common sight, ''*-' -4aid, to see trees deadwith the loaves still hanging on them, nsif killed by lightning, and little efforton the part of orchnrdists had been ex-erted to prevent it. Crude petroleumhas been used for spraying, with somesuccess, but a spray of caustic soda nmlwater, according to n California author-ity, was proving to be an effective meth-od of dealing with it.

ment. The violations were due solely toignorance of the member* of tlie board.

The «raiid jury learned Unit the boardhad failed to comply with the law inmany respects. There had been no meet-ings held since lust August, one of themembers of the board~had taken thocontract to convey some of the scholarsto school-by wagon; no bids had beenadvertised for wlfcn a school house need-ed painting, etc. It waa shown that con-siderable work had been ordered done bythe clerk who was authorized only ver-bally by the other members of the board.When a certain school house neededpainting the member living in the neigh-borhood of the school house was told tohave the work done and he gave the jobto his brother-in-law, without even theformality of an estimate. i

No immoderate charges'were reportedand there seems to be no evidence ofany wrong intentions on the part of the

merely to break up irregular and unbusi-less-liko. methods.

"A Bedroom Suit complained one day,That she was not contented,

That, though she sung a cheerful lay,Her fate she oft lamented.

Her loving playmate, Chiffioneer,Was at the time so near her,

That he could hear the suit's complaint,She meant that he should hear her."

Here's the ComplaintTH E R E ' S entirely too large a family of us here to suit me. One

can hardly breathe for the crush. Just to think, not less thantwenty-five different styles of us here in a line. Reminds me of an old-fashioned spelling school, and that's not the worst of it, for today Iheard there was another full carload on the road here, and they say theyare the allfiredest nicest suits for the money ($25) a fellow ever saw, butwhere they are going to find room for them is more than I can figureout, for we're packed in here now like a lot of sardines. I am one ofthe high-toned suits, I am; my name is Genuine Mahogany, and I ex-pect it will remain Mahogany all my days, for there isn't a quarteredoak living that is good enough for me, and, as for birds-eye maple, Icouldn't think of it. That Chiff. that I used to play with when I wasa kid stands over there grinning away for dear life; seems to sort-o'-please him to hear me complain, butil just can't help it. I'm bound toget out of here into some quiet home, where I can have plenty of room,and a place to breathe, and be of sc\me use. If you want somethinggood, just ask to see me when you come, for I am almost sure I'll suityou. You know where I am, don't you? A t
