A nine-year-old maiden provoked loving
laughter as she walked with sweet scri-

sloping shoulders trimmed with cape

her waist and white ostrich feathers
standing upright in her hair. One Of
the artists Of the Holbein studios sent
his small daughter in pale green silk

arms, with low sleeveless bodice
drapped with tulle scarf embroidered

Collecting Personal Taxes.

The revenue law make an important
change in the manner FEC llecting per-
sonal taxes, the effect of wm,h will first
be felt this fall. Hitherto the payment
OF these taxes has depended to a certain
extent OIL the inclination Of the proper
ty owner, who either paid them or al
lowed them to become delinquent as
was most convenient 1t is now the duty
OF the board of county commissioners
to 60 over the delinquent personal tax
list at their regular July meeting and
strike off tho names of those from who
they consider it itimpossible to collect,
after which the list is turned over to
the clerk OF the district court. The
clerk issues summons for each delin-
quent and they are brought into the
district court and judgment for the
amount of the tax and the costs of the
suit entered up against them. After
judgement has been obtained there is
no exemption. The sheriff may take
anything man has to satisfy the debt.
The commissioners at their last meet
ing went over the list which is now in
the hands of the Clerk of Court and as
soon as he can make out
the citations the sheriff will start on
his rounds. 1t therefore behooves all
who owe the county for the years 1886,
'S6, 'S7, SS and 'S9 to pay Immediately
for the cost will amount to quite sum.
The collection of personal taxes for
1891 must be made by the county off,
cials after October 18th.

Senator Hansbroueh's Brother.

San Francisco Special to Minneapolis
Tribune: 1t is learned to-day for the
first time that brother of Senator
Hansbrough of North Dakota died re-
Gently at the San Quentin state prison.
The facts are made known through the
publication of letter from a fellow
convict named Samuel Haddy. Frank
Hansbrough, brother of the senator,
was sent to the penitentiary about one
year ago from fresno, for robbery. His
attorney was State Senator Goucher,
and several letters passed between the
attorney and Senator Hansbrough. In
one of these letters the Senator wrote
to Attorney Goucher as follows:
IF Franks last escapade is an index
to the future it is better that he shonld
be kept in a lunatic asylum or within
the walls of a penitentiary. .
Commenting upon the receipt Of this
letter, Convict Haddy says: That sem
tence absolutely killed young Hans
brough, and he died of mental dyspep-i
sia. [ was allowed to visit him during
his illness. and two days before mis- de-
mise, he told me, in a voice scarcely
audible, the following words: 'sSam, I
know that can't live long, but I have
the consolation Of dying innocent of the
crime imputed to me. forgive my
brother for his cruelty to me-" Two
days later he breathed his last. Thus
ended the drama of Frank Hansbrough
eventful career.''

THE FIRE FIEND.
Faulk County, South Dakota, Dsso-
lated by n Hurricane Of Fire.
EVERYTHING WIPED OUT.

FAULKToN, S. d., Aug. 29.-The fire
fiend swept over the northwestern Sec
tion of the county last night, reducing
scors of homes to ashes and converting
prosperous farms into charred and
blackened fields. All the northwestern
part of Faulk Co. was thus desolated
by fire twenty miles wide and in length
extending from this city fifty miles
northwest as far as the eye can reach.
The sky is lit up to-day with burning
hay and grain stacks and the wind is
blowing a gale with fire still sweeping
on, leaving ruin and black desolation
behind. Indeed had not people fought
it hard the town would have gone up
in smoke. The deputy sheriff has just
come in from the country and states
that the sight is sad one. Men and
their families are walking about, look
ing at what few hours ago were snug
farmhouse and farms filled with grain
stacks. For space of 20 miles not a
foot of grass for stock even is left and
damage to the county and people is
nameless. NJ. T. Lingner has just ar
rived from Loyalton thirty miles north
of this city and reports that all district
south of that town including major
ity of hay and grain stacks is burned.
Reports from Seneca in this county
give the same facts.
TWENTY TOWNSHIPS DEsOLATED.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 29.-Aberdeen South
Dokota special to the Pioneer Press
says: Particular regarding the prairie
fire of last night came in very slowing.
the burnt district lying forty miles
west of this city. Allegation citizens
fought fire for eight hours, finally sue
seeding in saving the town. No dwell
ings were burned around that point
but large quantities of hay and grain
were destroyed. One party reports
riding twenty miles along the edge of
the burned district and he saw many
people standing around on the prairie
destitute, having lost their entire pos
sessions by fire. Loss falls heavily,
coming at the close of bountitul har-
vest, the best for several years. Large
quantities of grain have been destroy
ed, as very strong wind swept the fire
even across bare fields.aided by tumble
weeds which rolled like fire balls over
the prairie and fields, setting fire to
everything they touched. So far no
loss of life has been reported. That
section being inaccessible by railroad,
full particulars will not reach here for
some time. Not less than twenty town.

rible fire. the first for years.

One of our brightest correspond
ents writes US this week on the ques-
tion as to whether he should hold
his wheat for higher price or sell
as soon as possible. In justice to
ourselves we must decline to give
any advice upon this question. We
have no more reliable source of in
formation at hand than that of for
mer experience which has been that
the first markets are nearly always
the best, but former experience may
not count for much this year, for
the reason that existing conditions
are widely different. There is un-
doubtedly a shortage this year IN
the worlds supply of bread-stuffs-
acondition of things that has not oc-
CURED before in dozen years: The
exact amount Of this shortage is yet
undetermined, and will be until the
European crops are harvested.
Enough'is known, however, to in
sure good market foral American
wheat, but whether the market will
advance or decline is question
which even the most skillful manip-
nlator on the Chicago Board of
Trade is unable to determine evi.
denced by the fact that wheatspecu.
lators generally are ready to sell at
the decline or rise if they make one
or two cents a bushel profit. We
give our readers each week the best
and most reliable information OBJ.

The Minneapolis Tribune in a
recent editorial had the following
to say in regard to country news
papers:
A prosperous town is town with
live newspaper, and, as rule, liberal
patronage on the part of the public will
result i'll newspaper or newspapers of
excellence. When any event Of
moment takes place in town or coun-
ty it is the fashion for people to send
abroad the accounts Of. it contained in
the local press. They do this because
of something specially interesting; but
there is not an issue of all average
weekly which does not contain matter
of advantage to the place where it is
published, and which it would not pay
to circulate outside Of the confines Of
the county. 1t is worth a great deal
to have the world know that there is
such place, and that it has the ad-
juncts Of civilization, churches, schools,
and live, progressive newspapers. Some
day, we hope, the newspaper will re-
ceive its deserts and the editor his re-
ward. Meanwhile a large proportion
of them m ust content themselves with
paucity of patronage and go on build
ing up fortunes for others than them
selves.
