Wonderful Exhibition of Control Over
AnHeac

Yesterday forenoon Professor Sanborn, the
Horse Educator, took : horse belonging to f. G.
Hayes, which was said to be afraid of the cars,
drove him to the M. c. Depot, and placed his nose
against steaming locomotive without his shud-
dering or shying, which feat was witnessed by
several of our citizens. IN the afternoon, before
the class, he took horse belonging to Clark &
Chaplin which has had to be slung for Shoeing,
and in a few minutes was pounding on his foot
with hammer. Another vicious kicker was
handled in a few minutes to the satisfaction of a
large class of our citizens. The Professor will
drive another timid horse to the locomotive at the
P. g. r. Depot this forenoon at ten o'clock. He
will teach others how to do the same thing this
afternoon at two O'clock at F. C. Hayes stable.
Many have the idea that the Health Lift is
chiefly, if not solely, for invalids. This is far
from correct. You have heard it said that pre-
venton is better than cure' Fortunate are those
who realize the depth of meaning in this trite
saying, and practically demonstrate it. To a few
health is of some Importance. They can afford to
make some little effort to KEEP WELL. Many
among those who patronize lift-rooms have good
health and mean to keep it, when they can do so
by means so simple. The Health-Llft therefore,
has a twofold value 203 Middle street.

la our local columns win be found
the salient points Ia the tax bill re-
ported 10 the Governor by the tax
commission. The full bill and report
have not been given to the public
get, aud until II has been, peopS will
hardly be- able TO form any intelligent
conclusion ss 10 its merits. On one
or two points, however, the people
will not be slow or modest In express
sing the strongest kind OF feelings Of
opposition. We refer 10 the provi-
slon on the subject OF deductions for
indebtedness. These deductions are
only allowed to any enc having cred
its. Thus, IL man Is 10 debt $1,000
and he holds notes or other oblIga-
tions against his nelghbOr TO the
amount Of $1,000, he will be allowed
a deduction for Indebtedness to the
extent Of $1,000. II the notes which
he holds amount only TO $500 then
he will be allowed $500 deductions
for indebtedness. II he has no cred
Its, he Is allowed no deduction. We
can hardly conceive how so intslli'
gent body OF men could be led tc
offer such a proposition to the Free
intelligent people ofthe state. We
are pleased te note the fact that ouI
fellow townsman, Hon. r. S. Strahan
who was President OF the commits
sion, protests most earnestly against
this feature Of the bill. This feature
will, we feel confident, be knocked
out In the first round when the mat
ter comes up for consideration In the
legislature. We say this Tor the
reason tuat 1t docs not require much
reflection to see that this law would
place the burden OF taxation upon
the very persons who are least able
to bear II. We shall comment upor
this bill further when we see the fui
text. We are satisfied that It ha'
much merit In 1t, and we think Il
will form the basis OF good sound
system Of assessment and taxation.
