A TAX LIST AS IS A TAX LIsT.-We
are in receipt of a copy Of the Chica-
go daily Inter Ocean of May Is, con-
tanning the delinquent tax list of
Chicago and Cook county, Illinois.
The paper is composed Of POI pages,
each page 15x2l inches, six columns
to page, set in Nonpareil type, and
1913 of these pages are occupied with
the tax list, or an aggregate of ,ls4
columns. The paper alone, on which
each copy is printed, weighs three
pounds, and as the Inter Ocean claims
to circulate 1900 copies of each dai.
ly issue, it would require for one is.
sue of this tax list $1,000 pounds OF
paper. Rating the paper at fifty-five
pounds to the ream, it would take
927 reams of paper, or enough to
load twenty-five two-horse teams
which being stretched out on the
road, and occupying thirty feet each
would fill two blocks on Main street
1t must be "fat take" for the Inter.
Ocean, and it must also incur very
heavy expense to put in type such an
immense quantity Of figure work. II
does not, however, augur well for the
promptness of Chicago tax payers, OIL
the prosperity of Chicago. The post
age alone, on this issue, at two cents
per pound, if delivered through The
postofice, would be $1,000. We have
loaned this copy to an especial friend
for Sunday reading, and he will have
enough, he thinks, to last him unit

quent list.

SAN FRANcrsco, May l9.-At Chico,
to-day, Goldsmith's Maid and Rarus
trotted, best three in five, for purse
of 81, 1000, and an extra thousand if
the best time in the State was beaten.
The track was excellent and the day
favorable. In the first heat, at the
start, Rarus had the lead nearly a
length, but the Maid closed up the
gap on the first quarter and took and
maintained the lead, winning the
heat by half a neck in 2 Hoy. In the
second heat Rarus was length be-
hind at the start, which relative po-
sition was maintained until turning
into the home stretch, when the Maid
skipped, but caught her feet almost
instantly. Rarus closed nearly neck
and neck in the meantime, but the
Maid crossed the score half neck
ahead in 2 :l41s. The third heat was
similar to the second, and was won
by Rarus in 2:l7.s

A Building Falls a Cedar Rapids
Several Persons Dangerously Hurt.

Several Persons Dangerously Hurt.
Yesterday at half-past one O'Clock,
Cedar Rapids was thrown into an i'm
tense state of excitement by the fall
ing Of part of new block which was
being erected on Iowa avenue. The
block is one hundred feet square, and
divided into four stores, one Of, which
was double room, and was to be
supported in the center by iron col
umns, but was temporarily supported
by tinbers. Two stories of the struct-
ure were up, and the brick-layers
were at work on the third story. 1t
is thought the wooden supports gave
way, precipitating the joists, floor,
scaflolding and inner brick. walls
through the floor to the basement.
About twenty men, and one horse,
used in hosting material, were on
the walls or in the building at the
time it fell. OF this number, ilftcen or
sixteen were buried under the debris,
or in some manner injured, In tho
course Of two hours, by the most per-
sistent labor of the fire brigade and
others, all were got out, and, strange
to say, no one was Killed, although
several are dangerously hurt. The
building was being erected by Mr..
Mutually, of Cedar Rapids, and Col.
Preston, of Marion. The loss to them
is several thousand dollars. Mr..
Mutually was the architect and SUPER
intendent of construction. Tho fol-
lowing are the injured persons Dan
iel Anderson, injured in the face and
ribs broken; George Soule, arm and
shoulder-blade broken and it is feared
injured internally lDavid Soule, both
legs broken; w. Vance, nose broken
and other injuries; George Nuzes,
both legs broken; Mr.. Kasson, hur,
on the head, and hip dislocated John
Ware, slight injuries; Mr.. shannan,
badly injured; A. Torner, serious

One night last week they stole from
the feed lot of L. f. Newell, near
Agency, fine fat steer, drove him of
and it has never been heard from.
The Steer was worth $65 or SO. Mr..
Newell was absent in Missouri at the
time, and hid 81 fat steers in the LOT
and the great wonder is that they
did not take more of them. VIM.
