We occasionally hear complaints from
farmers about the unusually high rate of
taxes in this county the present season, for
which there is some ground, but we believe
that when the correct version of the case is
laid before them, that none will murmur.
The tax is somewhat high, but then many
fail to understand that there has been more
than common activity in county improve
ments of late. such as building new bridges,
repairing old ones, grading streets. ETC., be-
sides extra assessment has been laid on by
the county commissioners for the purpose of
creating a fund for the erection of new
county buildings. This will bring in $4,000
the present year for that purpose the re-
mainder $40,0 900 or more. TO be raised in two
or three subsequent assessments. At the
time the proposition to bond the county to
the amount of $4,000 for the same purpose
was submitted to the people and 'snowed
UNDER" it seemed to be the sentiment of
major part of the farmers that the sum should
be raised by direct taxation, thereby avoiding
the contingency of leaving bonded debt TO
be liquidated by our children, and childrens
children. The commissioners accepted
the situation and proceeded upon
this suggestion to levy the tax.
1t is almost certain that when our payers of
tribute understand this to be the real source
of the high tax, they will pay it with a will,
knowing, as they all do, the necessity of bet
ter and more commodious county buildings.
The board of commissioners will meet at the
auditors office on the 18th inst. to consider
what preliminary steps it is advisable TO take
the coming. summer toward the new struct-
ure. Owing to the fact that the project is
yet in its incipiency, and that funds will be
somewhat limited, but little more than secur-
ing complete plans and putting the grounds
in proper condition can be expected TO be
done next summer, although there is no doubt
that the structure Will be completed during
the summer of 'S7. The citizens of lower

CHICAGO COUNTY BUILDING.
People i'm tho Streets Constantly i'm
Danger of Being Killed.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-The costly county
building still continues to crumble, and still
remains source of danger to pedestrians.
For the seventh time in the past eight
months one of the carved ornamental stones
fell crashing to the sidewalk. At $50
o'clock last night a block Of limestone,
known as corniee pendant, fell from the
top of the Clark street front, Just over the
main entrance, and created CONSERVATION
in the neighborhoOd for a few minutes. 1t
dropped through the south opening in the
pOrtico, and striking the broad steps that
lead to the first story, smashed portions of
two of the steps and displaced portions of
three others. The stone weighed about $50
pounds. and rolled across the sidewalk on
to the piled up snow near the street In
its passage across the sidewalk, it is said.
it struck the dress of one of three ladies
who were passing at the time tearing a
portion of il away. The ladies. of course,
were terrified. as were several other pedes-
TRANS who were not so close to the point OF
danger. 1t was soon afterward reported
that another stone was about TO fall from
the same height. 1t is claimed that either
that part of the street ought to be fenced
in or some measures taken to render the
building secure. The construction of the
building has always been a matter Of con-
troversy, allegations of fraud against the
contractors in the courts and newspapers
having been made from time TO time.
Joint committee met in the county
board room to-day, at which meeting it was
decided that the entire building must be
fenced in except at the entrance under the
sheriff's Office. Architect Hanson gave his
opinion that all ornaments were liable to
fall of, and hence the conclusion TO inclose
the sfrncfnrn.

Brainerd's New Postmaster.

Special to the Globe.
BRAINERD, Mimi, Feb 19.-The change
in the postoffce, brought to-day in the
GLOBES Washington news, is the compile
ton, in very satisfactory manner. of what
has been understood as the prearranged
program. This is a three housand-dolla

yet possessed by the Democratic admins
tration in the whole north part of the state
Recognizing the inevitable, and for business
reasons, the Republican incumbent. w. W.
Hartly, some time ago resigned, but Mr..
Hoops campaign, to be his successor ante
dated the resignation good deal. His papers
it was found, were very strong from cit
liens here and prominent men of the state
and elsewhere. There was also strong
pressure used for him, that his appoint
ment would recognize the German element,
from which extraction Mr.. KOop comes. In
fact his father, as late as 1880. was com
missioned to high honor, over King VIII
helms own autograph, in the faderland.
The appointment is well received by all
classes and will also materially strengthen
the Democratic party, just now struggling
to an organization and bidding fair for the
first time to enter the campaign the coming
season with distinctive party organization.
In fact Democrats are happy over the out
look. They have now the postOf1ice and
recently acquired an organ, the Brainerd
Journal.
