LOUIS 4. MATnERs, Cashier Of the
Citizens Bank of Sidney, Ohio, died OF
cerebro spinal meningitis yesterday after
noon, April 10th. He was first taken
sick on Thursday of last week. Nothing
serious was apprehended until Monday,
when he began growing worse rapidly.
His relatives and friends in Pennsylva-
MIA were notified of his dangerous illness

Mr.. Mathers was born at Mifflin, Juni.
alta county, Pennsylvania, on the 18th
day Of February, 1912 lie graduated
at Princeton, New Jersey, in the class of
1864. In 1866 he came to Sidney, and
commenced the study of law with bis
brother, John H. Mathers. His eve
sight partially failing, he abandoned the
study of law. He continued his resi-
dence in Sidney, and in 1869 was ap-
pointed Teller Of the First National
Bank of Sidney. In July, 1870, the
Citizens Bank was organized, and he
was elected Cashier, in which capacity
he has since acted.
The deceased was of reserved and
reticent disposition, but those who We're
most intimately acquainted with him
found him possessed of kind heart and
genial nature He was young man
of exemplary conduct in his every day
life, and was the very soul OF truth,
honor, and integrity. He was a very
popular officer of the Bank, and much of
its prosperity was due to his courteous
and gentlemanly department and accom-
modating disposition. His death caused
universal regret, and the loss is felt to be
one the community can little afford to
sustain. lie was to have been married
to most esiimable young lady Of his
native State next month, and had been
making all the preparations necessary for
the event. The body will be taken to
Pennsylvania to-day for interment-

AMONG the sensible and practical reso-
lutions adopted by the anti-monopoly
convention at Springfield was the fol-
lowing:
WHEREAS, Railroads, including their roll
ing stock and tracks, are not assisted more
than one tenth of their actual value.
" Resoleed, That we demand that they pay
taxes in proportion to the taxes paid by citi-
zens of the State, and that if any amendment
tx necessary to the revenue, and to compel
said railroads to pay said share of taxes, that
the Legislature so amend said law, and de-
mand of the next State Board of EQUALIZATION
to assess the railroad property in proportion to
its value"
Mr.. Superintendent Harris told the
railroad committeeman at Springfield
that the cost of the c., b. and @. road
was not less than S4S, per mile. If
this be the sum per mile upon which Mr..
Harris deems it necessary to levy taxes
upon the people, then this is the sum
per mile upon which the property of
that company should pay taxes. 1t is a
significant and disgraceful commentary
upon Mr.. Harris statement that the
valuation of the road for taxation is
often less than nine thousand dollars q
mile J Here is method of stealing
which can be easily stopped, and must
be stopped. Railroad companies must
not appraise their property at one value
for taxing the people and at lower
value for paying taxes themselves. -
