The owners of North Holly Oak have
hit upon plan for selling their town
lots, which is attracting considerable at.
tention at this time. The idea is novel
one, and we predict that It will "work
like charm" They sell certain finely
located lots at 500 piece and throw In
another lot of tire same Size as a free gift
to every purchaser. We know, and SO
do you know, that they cannot afford to
do this, only upon the idea that the sale
OF few such lots will result in the end
In their getting fair price for their other
land. Every farmer will tell you that
this land by the acre is worth more than
1t is now offered for in lots. Toe Press
should all give notice OF this offer, that
every one desiring home may have the
opportunity which may not again be of.

Yesterdays dispatches from the Con-
nellsville coke region indicate that the
outcome OF the existing strikes will prob
ably be the success of the men. Frick &
Go. and Mcclure & Co., two of the larger
operators, increased their offer from that
OF the previous day, but the strikers re-
fused to accept the terms. At the Carey
furnace strikers attacked force of new
men, and one OF tee saputy sherias was
shot. x .

Tho Marsh Land Exemption.

The act passed by the late Legislature
70 exempt marsh land from municipal
taxes is another that ia Drofuse In
promises OF trouble ahead. 1t was NOT
known to any but few of the Initiated
That such law was In existence until
the July taxes for 1889 were about being
paid. Great was the surprise OF the col
ieetors when owners of marshe, came TO
pay their taxes and made demand for
an exemption from the taxes assessed
upon their marsh properly. The collec-
tors, the city solicitor and the member
OF the City Council seemed never 10
have heard Of the law, and were incredu-
ious In their belief that such a law was
III existence. But Daniel w. Taylor had
a certified copy of the law in his posses
sion.
The incredulous persons were invited
10 come and see 1t and read for them
selves. They did so and were convinced.
Ihe collectors did not know what to do
about 1t. The lands had boon ASSESSED.
the taxes computed and included In the
TAX bills, aud the amount computed
the fiscal year. City Solicitor Turner's
counsel was asked In the emergency and
through his advice temporary COM
promise was effected. 1t was agreed to
collect the whole bill, with the under
standing that the City Council was to re.
iund the amount paid on marsh lands If
the law was found to be right.
Having learned something from the
q" rider bill about the different plans
adopted in securing legislations, City
solicitor Turner, with Mr.. Taylor, went
down to Lover to make careful inyesti.
CATION aud examination of the original
act to see what 1t did provide for.
itey iound that In the laws as printed
the bill exempted from taxation for ten
years "all improved marsh lands within
the city limits" The original bill was
nun ed up and 1t was found to read siall
marsh lands" with the word 'unith.
proved" inserted in lead pencil enclosed
IN carets between the words "all" and
marsh" An amendm mt inserting the
word "unimproved" was pasted to the
bill, but the endorsements on the back
did not show that any action had ever
been taken on IL. The House journal
showed that the bill was reported from
the committee with an amendment, but
does not record the adoption OF the
amendment.
Under these circumstances 1t Is hardly
known what to do. II the amendment
was adopted only the tax on unimproyed
marsh land will have to be" refunded; If
The amendment was not adopted a large
amount OF taxes must be refunded. There
seems to be fear that lawsuits may arise
over the affair, and to avoid an ANNOYANCE
OF this kind 1t ia proposed that all parties
agree upon taking test case to the
Higher Court for decision, and that all
others be governed by .hat decision.

school.
The first years work consists of max

other simple figures. The pupils ere
not only taught to work with their hands
but with their brains as well, and as they
work out the manual part they are COM

the same. No more practical illustra-
tion OF geometrical problems could be
obtained than by this manner.
The second years work consists of
making more difficult patterns and of

1he third years. work is Cf course the
hardest, and the association will exhibit
steam engines, manufactured by pupils
In that year.

A Des Moines special of the 9Th says:
the question of an extra session of the
legislature is fast nearing a settlement.
There is some uncertainty in the matter
now, pending the decision of Judge Brew
er in the last injunction case of the trunk
lines against the railway commission,
which was argued at st. Paul December II
last. This decision is liable to be filed
any day now, and the general opinion is
that it will be adverse to the state. If this
is SO. it is thought an extra session of the
legislature is sure to be called. The ship
pers of the state are taking great interest
in the matter and will hold a state con-
vention soon i'll Des Moines, probably
about the 10th inst. The purpose OF this
convention is practically to agree upon IL
measure for the consideration of the extra
session if called. and at any rate upon q
line Of concerted action, and great impor-
lance is attached to it. The railroads are
apparently passive in the matter, and show
little interest, except in the opposition of
recognized railroad papers, which are OPP
posing an extra session, ostensibly on the
ground of the great expense which will be
attached to it. There is evidently some
thing in the wind. for railway LOBBYISTS
have begun to appear and members of the
Legislature WHO are leaders in railway leg
islation have beem in private conference
with the governor of late.
