railroad.

Saturday evening the coming force on
the railroad had passed through the
Campbell tunnel, which is about four
miles this side of Eagle Furnace, and
the road Is ballasted and finished
through the tunnel. The going force,
at the same time had the track laid to
Niles Summit, Or nearly four miles be-
yond Vinton. The two forces Saturday
evening were about eight miles apart.
Between the forces there are two
bridges to build across Raccoon creek.
The bridges will be of iron and are to
come by rail, only few days being re-
quired to have them across. The COM
ing force will not come more than a
mile before they strike the frst bridge,
while the going force will go five miles
before reaching the other bridge. The
two forces will meet near this last
bridge, as there are only about five
miles of steel rails here. Monday and
Tuesday track was laid, some difficulty
being experienced in getting ties, and 1t
is thought the iron will be down by the
2Oth.
The steam shovel is at work again,
and the gravel trains are ballasting
about two miles beyond Evergreen.
John Hassett is boss tracklayer since
the death of MoCarty.
Superintendent Norris has returned
and is crowding the work.

How to get Rich.

Buy real estate and hold it.
'Tis wonderful how real estate will
increase in value, even in compare
lively unimportant place like Gallipo
lis. In addition to the use of you
property old Father Time, assisted by
the influx of people, steadily piles VI
a goodly interest on your investment
in the shape of an increased value.
Below we give some figures and make
some comparisons, from which you may
draw your own conclusions, recollect-
ing that our values are drawn from the
tax duplicate, with the uncertain and
unreliable figures that are necessarily
apart of an estimate of that character.
Those chronic grumblers, who pirate of
the increase of taxation as compared
with increase of other values, are fully
met and answered.
Small Lot z, on Court street, the resi-
dence of Franklin Carel, Esq, was
valued on the duplicate of 1912 at ss4S,
taxed at 20 ". On the duplicate of
1879 1t. stands at s2772, an increase for
the 81 years of 800 per cent, or yearly
increase in value of 80 per cent. The
present tax is 500, an increase less
than 300 per cent, difference in favor
Of the property for that time of 20
per cent. This increase in valuation
does not take into consideration the
decay Of the buildings.
We take the u feet mid. of Garden
Lot 20, on Front Street, occupied BY
Mr.. VIM. s. Kerr. The duplicate of
1912 values 1t at $196, with taxes of
81 So. The present valuation is $704,
taxes $l5. Increase in valuation, 359
per cent, or a yearly increase of 90
per cent. Increase In taxes, 309 per
cent.
Next the Upper lots II and IL, upper
side of Public Square, owned by Hen
king, Allemong & Co. The duplicate
Of lS42 shows 1915 as the valuation,
taxes $23 30. Present valuation, $25s2,
taxes $54 80. Increase In valuation,
264 per cent. Increase In taxes, 230
per cent. Not so great an increase as
compared with the property above, but
still greater than the tax Increase. The
yearly increase in valuation is little
more than per cent.
= 1t fsa little curious that the valuation
In 1928 exceeded the valuation of the
last two pieces of property, to-wit:
G. l.. 20, 1914; Small Lots IL and y,
$l450.
This brings us to the consideration of
the value of an
ACRE OF LAND IN GALLIPoLIs,
making our estimates on lots III, 116 and
100 fronting the Public Square. These
lots commence with the brick occupied
by the firm of J. NJ. Kerr & Co., and
run down to and include the brick busi-
ness house of J. J. CABOT. Probably
not SO valuable an acre as the property
at the lower end of the same square.
Footing up the values on the tax
duplicate we have $4,000, the true
value not being less than $50, 900. At
this rate, that square of 81 acres
would be worth the nice little figure
of $426,666 What effect the compile
ton of the o. & W. Va. r. R., will have
on real estate values, remains to be

The Irish Relief Bill.

LONDON, July 2.-The house of commons
went into committee of the whole this even
ing on the Irish relief bill. Parnell moved
to authorize the commissioners of public
works to advance money within their discre-
ton to boards of guardians in secluded dis
tricts for outdoor relief, the whole amount
50 advanced not to exceed 100000. Foster,
chief secretary for Ireland, accepted the mo-
ton and the amendment was agreed to. E. j.
Lyman, liberal member for Limerick county,
moved that the rate of interest ON such loans
shall not exceed one per cent. Parnel, sup
porting motion, exclaimed against
the shabby conduct of the government,
which he said had not granted penny from
the imperial exchequer for the relief of Irish
distress. Bradlaugh made his maiden
speech in support of the motion, and said
this was either a matter of pure business or
generosity. tt would be unfortu
mats he said, if the notion
got abroad that the government and people
of England and Scotland intended to be gen
erous only as far as it intended no cost to
themselves. On behalf of many workmen,
for whom he was authorized to speak, he
asked that some loss might fall upon them,
| rather than this measure of generosity should
be misunderstood. He asked the House not
to be generous with half hand. Brad
laugh spoke for about five minutes. His
delivery was timid and hesitating, very diff
ferent from that of his carefully prepared
speech at the bar of the house.
The government opposed Lyman's mo-
ticn, which was rejected by vote of 1874
to 73

two centuries ago roamed over this land and
told their fellows of its wealth and resources,
and printed b 'oks to induce others to follow in
their foo steps; and 1 am glad that duty has
falen to this society, whose orator this day has
drawn out lessons of wisdom which we may

French bad failed in making permanent lodg-

POLITICAL OUTLOOK .
The Wisconsin Republicans Alarmed-The
Greenh ckers Gathering In Marshal Array
and the State Likely to Go for Hancock.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |


MILWAUKEE, July 3.-The Republicans
here have become alarmed at the strength of
the greenback sentiment in the State. The
Weaver party are working quietly but very
earnestly, and they confidently expect to
poll as large vote as L. p. Allis did when he
ran for the governorship in 1877. That was
between 81, 900 and %, O0O.L year Reuben
May got about 1000, the other 20, 600, hav-
ing got back over to Smith as they original
ly belonged in the Republican party.
The theory of the Democrats just now is
that Hancock will poll some 5000 more
votes than were cast for James G. Jenkins,
the last Democratic candidate for governor,
and that Weaver will secure from $4,000 to
10000. This would defeat the Republican
electors, and give the State to Hancock.
This theory, whether it be well founded
OF not, has become the political sensation of
the hour, and alarms the Republicans fully
as much as it interests the Democrats. The
Greenback vote is reliable in this State, but
it's full strength in the past has not been less
than 10000. This statement is proven by
the fact that Allis got $4,000 ballots when
Judge James A. Mallory was the Democratic
candidate. The latter has many sympa-
thizers among the more conservative Green
back electors, and If the Democrats had had
a hard money platform in 1877, Allis would
have polled at least $4,000 votes. The more
settled condition of the finances since that
time has operated to the advantage of the
Republicans, however, in drawing back into
that party good many Greenbackers. The
entire speculation may be reduced to the
one proposition, that if Weaver gets $4,000
ballots in Wisconsin in November, the DEM
ocratic national ticket will get the State.

The speaking Yves concluded with g short
speech from Gen. Rosser. After speaking
aptly of the feeling of many men on such
occasions that they have that to say which
ought to have expression, and speaking dep
recatlngly of his own power to express his
thoughts and feelings, he said:
The adventures of LaSalle, of Hennepin and
of their companions are well calculated TO in
fuse enthusiasm into the breasts of Minneso-
tians who themselves are pioneers, who them
selves have gone to the West and endured the
dangers and tolls of frontier life, and they re-
alize what they are.
