and one-half per cent. this end win be
attained at an earlier date. What then
would be the burden, on the individual
taxpayer, Of an additional levy of one
half mill to meet the interest on these
bonds for the next ten yearaa Il would
simply add fifty cents upon each one
thousand dollars Of his taxable valuation.
Where the rate Of taxation IL 8 per cent
he now pays thirty dollars on each thou
sand dollars; with the bonds In force he
would pay an added fifty cents, or thirty
dollars and fifty cents. until the time
comes for redeeming these bonds, in ten
years, when, with . one mill levy, 1t
would add another fifty cents on each
thousand dollars, and he would pay
thirty lone dollOrs on each thousand dol
lars, total tax.
IhaVe chosen round numbers for this
calculation, and Of course realize that in
asmuch as the total taxable valuation is
a little less than the sum assumed, the
the time Of payment would be slightly
extended, but should the bonds be nego-
tiAted at four per cent the burden would
be even less than have stated 1t, and the
time Of retiring the bonds or carrying
the burden shortened proportionately. s

A FEW REASONS.

Why the court house should be built just
at this time in Emporis:
Because 1t is an absolute necessity If We
wish to preserve our county records.
Because if We do not build 1t now we
will have to in the near future.
Because it can never be built in the fu-
ture under such favorable terms as it can
at present.
Because the county can save at least
$50 900 by building now.
Because money is cheap and bonds can
be favorably negotiated just now.
Because there Is plenty Of unemployed
labor to be had in both city and county.
Because it will give work to many who
will be unemployed this winter unless the
proposition passes.
Because the Jail is unfit to confine dog
IN, much less human being.
Because virtually there is no opposition
in the CITY except by those who want more
costly site for private ends or are hired 20
oppose the change.
Because ii would be money saved TO the
county for costs of rent of offices outside
of the present court house.
Because II would cost more to replace
our county records In case Of flre than ii
would to build q new court house twice
over.
Because If the present court house
should be destroyed 1t would make al
endless amount of litigation over real
estate transcripts, and virtually there
would be no clear title to any land in the
county.
Because the passing trains impede cour
proceedings IN the present court house.
Because it would be a paying invest
ment for all concerned, and
Because the additional impetus an,
movement in business circles given by tn
erection of the builiIng would be of bene

THE sHEEPAND THE WOLF.
A Fable with n Moral for EmpOri.

A Fable With q Moral f0E EmpOF1s
ans.
There was once q flock of Sheep that
lived between two streams, and when they
become thirsty they would go down to the
banks of the large stream to drink. But
on the banks of this lived a very large
Black Wolf, who had built himself a
house thereon aud made = large Dam
across the water, and when the Sheep
came TO drink the Wolf said, "All this
water In this river Is mine for miles from
my house, and you must not drink unless
you pay tribute to me-" And the Sheep
had to pay tribute TO the Wolf for long
time, uatil one of the flock In his ram
blings found out that there was another
stream on the other side Of their pasture
that contained equally as good water, on
which they did not have to pay tribute and
over which the Wolf had no authority. But
when the Sheep met In mass convention
TO advise the Fl )ck to go to the other river,
the Wolf was also there, and, with the as
sistance of other Wolves, by spacious argu
ments, persuaded the Sheep that 1t was
better to pay tribute TO him than
to take water from the Stree
site" A1d Tor long time
the Sheep were persuaded that the
Wolf was their friend, and 50 they drank
from his river aud paid him tribute. But
after time some of the wiser of the sheep,
noticing that, after drinking from the wa
ter of the wolf, many of the Sheep and
Lambs became sick and died, made in
curry, and were Informed that the wa.
ter was poisoned by filth deposited just
above where they were in the habit of
drinking.
This led to other Inquiries, and the
Sheep also found out that their large pen,
In which they imprisoned their enemies,
was IN q very unsafe condition, and liable
to be blown down by the winds or burned
up by prairie fires, thus releasing their en-
emies TO deVour the Lambs. So the lead
ers of the flock called another gathering OF
the Sheep, and propositions were made
looking 70 the building OF new and more
safe pen for the purpose of conflning theil
Black Sheep and enemies. But again, a.
a. the first gathering, was the Wolf pres
ent, ano again did he have other Wolves
with him to aid him by sps
ciOus arguments in convincing
the Sheep that he was thei
, friend, and that, should their pen becom
destroyed by wind or be burned up by fire
, he and TIE Other Wolves would aid tn
Sheep against their enemies. But one @
the Wolves brought to assist him in his Al
Fguments was crazy, and the other so fa
forget the line of talk laid down TO foe
3 the Sheep as to state that if 6 new pr
' must be bull, il should be built nearer Ii
. Dam so the Big Black Wolf could obtai
Q more Lambs IN tribute.
e Then were the eyes OF most Of the Shee
< opened. and they resolved that they woul
e no longer pay tribute TO the Big BlaC
le Wolf tor his water, and that they Woul
70 not listen 20 his arguments regarding Il
10 building OF new pen. but would bun

q. ture, which Wss some distance from q

luton providing that the Knights OF
Labor demand at the hands OF congress

measure and that special instructions be
issued TO the legislative COMMITTEES ct
