P. tax was in the city last week to look into the matter of the taxes wrongfully collected for the bridge fund, but in reality lev ted so as to have more money to spend in the general fund. It was found that $17,000 had been turned Gives you some idea of the stock of holiday goods to be found at our store, but we have many other Articles Suitable for Christinas Gifts Which are UOt displayed in j poorniaster-tlKce the show window.

We extend a cordial invitation to all to come and see our line of Holiday Goods. The Fair RICHARDS 3R0S. over from the bridg-e fund to the general fund, with about S4.000 in the treasury yet to turn over, mak ing over $21,000 that the reformers have wrongfully wrung from the taxpayers of the county. It is rea sonable to ask for what purpose, since we have had no county build ings to erect, no unusual expenses except those made by the reformers themselves. For your answer we would say. look at the bills filed and allowed by the county commis sioners. Thousands of dollars for county printing-, thousands for , lieriif'o fees, county physician and or four times more than under lormer manage ment. Twenty-one thousand dol lars would buy a wagon load of groceries for every family in the county. Twenty-one thousand dol lars wou'd give every family in the count" eight dollars in cash quite a Christmas present. Yet our precious reformers need more j money to spend so bad that they are distressing- the people. The following" poem was received j tor publication; it shows that dis ( tress warrants are some times very distressing", indeed. Her hands were hard, his form was bent The children to bed had all been sent. Then spoke the wife with voice so sweet. Our children need shoes on their little feet. His form was bent but his heart was right. I'll start to.morrow before daylight." The wagon was loaded with India wheat. To clothe his family from head to feet. On his joyful errand he was nearing town. "When a brave --reformer" called him down. "See here,, old man. you have been too lax. Til take that load to pay your tax." His form was bent, his heart was broke. By the tax-collector's cruel stroke. The mother sings while the children play Till father came home that stormy day. Ballard a Horebouud Syrup.

In order to be fair with ail in this matter, the finding of the board of health, as published in the Western Medical Review, is hereto attached: -At the meeting of the board on December i the charges made against Dr. Chas. V. Be dell were heard. The findings of the Board were: 'That a certificate was granted to him in ISM: that his association with Howard Paul, a man who was not even a medical student, were of such an equivocal nature as to be misleading, and that Bedell is deserv ing of censure for such misleading ass ia tion." The board further found -that the charge of unprofessional and dishonorable conduct in the case of Mrs. Carth is abund antly proven by testimony presented, and it is the sense of this board that the attempt to demand a large fee from a poor man on the ground of a stated emergency, which all the evidence shows did not exist, is so far re moved from the ordinary, honorable and humane course pursued by physicians every r where as to merit the contempt of the pub lic Further, that a continuation of such practice should be considered sufficient cause for further repressive action by the hoard." The board took up the other speci fications, one by one. but concluded the evi dence did not justify revocation of certifi cate, but did merit censure.

The girls of the school were asked to contribute toward buying the par aphanalia and responded liberally but on the eve of sending in the or der tor the necessary articles their instructor informed the dear crea tures that they must not take part in the games. The girls insist on the boys returning their money, but they are loath to yield to the demand as they will not have suffi cient funds left to make the purchase. COrjUCIL PEOCEEDIiTGS.

He was arraigned before Police Judge Davis, and asked for a con tinuance of the case until 5 o'clock, which was granted. Meantime the matter was settled with the parties who preferred the charge andBrod erick was allowed to go by paying the costs. It appears that the lat ter has been peddling goods around the city for which he received his money on the installment plan.
