The tax collections have been less
than ever before at this time of the
year. Everything except eating, sleep
ing and printing newspapers has been

to divide between the several towns
and school districts.

We hear sensational stories about
suffering from the storms in Dakota
and the country west Of us. The peo-
pie are burning railroad ties, telegraph
poles, lumber yards, wagons, and a.
bout everything and anything that will
make fire. In some places three or
four families have taken refuge in one
house and are burning up the vacated
houses.
The Sioux Falls train got in on
Sunday last after about 20 days sus-

The passengers amused themselves

DR.. A. P. Miller has been appointed
business manager of the New York
Tribune and Whitelaw Reid, another
Ohio man, is Managing Editor of the
same paper. If the New York Herald
should take a notion to call that other
"a. P" to something similar, you see,
there would be still another Ohio man
in good newspaper position And.
besides, it would make things lovely
for the "A. Ps."
