A Double Tragedy.

CLEVELAND, O.. April 11.-News was re-
ceiyed TODAY of a double tragedy which
occurred in Polk township, Ashland coun-
ty, on Thursday. On that day James
Markham. an aged farmer, was found
dead in his house with bullet hole in
his head. His wife lay near him with a
bullet wound in her forehead. She died
soon after neighbors arrived. The story
told by one of Mrs. Markham's sons would
indicate that the woman was killed by her
husband, and that he committed suicide.
The coroner is investigating the case.

The Farmer aud the New Tax Law.
Mr.. WILL c. REED writes us from
Greentown:
am reader of your paper and have
always been satisfied with your opinion
on various questions. Please explain the
following: How can the farmer of In
diana be benefited by the new assessment
law? His farm is assessed at high cash
value, and under our tariff and tax ex-
penses he can hardly make living.
Money loaners are assessed Just the same
as before, and they are making from per
cent. to % per cent The farmer is maxi
ing about 0 per cent. on his investment.
The farmer will be benefited by the
new tax system because in the long run
1t will reduce his taxes. Those who live
in counties which are honestly governed
will find that their local taxes will be re-
duced Immediately because of the large
amount OF property, mostly personal prop
erty of individuals or corporations, which
has hitherto escaped taxation, but which
under the new law will be placed upon
the tax-duplicate. On the other hand,
the increase for state purposes, SO far as
the farmers are concerned, will be tri1ing
and temporary.
There is no class of property which has
been assessed for taxation so near to its
full cash value under the old law as farm
property. The farm worth $40 an acre
has been assessed at S25; improvements,
implements, tools. etc. have been as
sessed, as a rule, for a good deal more
than 80 per cent. of their value. At the
same time improved business property in
the cities has been assessed at from
20 TO 335 per cent. of its cash
value; vacant land in cities and towns,
held for speculation. has been assessed as
farm property, at acre rates, frequently
not more than 10 per cent. OF its cash
value; while notes, mortgages, stocks,
bonds, stocks of merchandise. furniture,
plate, jewelry, books, pictures, currency,
and other forms of personal property,
mainly owned by rich people in the cities,
have in large part escaped altogether, or

THAT Chicago is a safe and reliable
democratic city on national issues is
shown by the results of Tuesdays cleo
ton, whether CREGIER be counted out or
not. The combined democratic vote on
mayor was 30 per cent. larger than the
combined opposition, while within one of
twice as many democrats as republicans
were elected to the board OF aldermen.
On this score the democrats made mag
n;ficent gain. The present board consists
of thirty-five democrats and thirty-three
republicans, while the new board will
comprise forty-ive democrats and twenty
three republicans. Even II they succeed
in counting In HEMPsrEAD WAsHBURSE
the republicans will be able to draw
mighty little consolation from the returns.

deeply identified with her growth and
prosperity. The mourning at his death

DANA's ABSOLUTELY CURES DISEASE y
Women in Medicine.

"There has been remarkable change of
public opinion" said female ply sician of
this city, sin regard to the practice of medi-
cine by women. We used 10 be frowned
upon by responsibility. ridiculed by the pa.
pers, and scorned bv the regular faculty. We
were told that we had no right to intrude In
the profession, that we were unfit for It, that
we could never learn its mysteries, that the
law would be invoked against US, and that
nobody would employ us. The medical
schools for women were small and poorly
equipped, and 1t was hard to get the right
kind of professors for them. But we were
not discouraged by obstacles, and worked
our way along till the classes grew from half
a dozen students to dozen or more. Things
are changed now. The old and violent preju-
dlces against us have disappeared. There
must he over fifty regular practitioners of
our sex In the city. and some of them have
incomes of $4,000 year. They are favored
by many wealthy families, and the result of
their practice is the best test of its merit.
They are as well educated as their masculine
rivals. many of whom are ready to hold con-
situations with them. Look at the Women's
Medical College just opened In Fifteenth ST.,
With Its chemical physiological and histologi-
,al laboratories, and Its body of professors.
Its course of study Is three years. and 1t has
nearly a hundred students, who have come
nere from all over the Union. This looks
ike progress, and l believe that Ia 30 years
here will be as many doctors of our sex as
If the other.'-lN Y Sun.

WOMAN'S WORLD.
Those Trailing Dresses.

TnOse TRAILING DressoS'
The tail of woman's gown Is the greatest
mischief breeder ever introduced into the
feminine world. Indeed 1t is positively pa
.hetic to note the misery which this fashiona-
BILE appendage has meted out even to fair
ones.
"Why not take stand against this partic.
ular rrice OF folly:" some one asks.
Yes, bat who would dare? For one might
as well be out of the world as In rebellion
against fashion. "It Is no use, my dear
madam. Without demi train your English
jacket Will be found utterly lacking In STYLE"
To this unanswerable argument of the art.
full modiste my lady makes no reply, but
meekly accepts for her promenade skirt

for the clty's highways and byways.
"Lift this piece Of fashionable foolishness
out of harms way" Is the next suggestion.
No, indeed, not II its mistress knows her
self. She Is cleverly awake to the fact that
such clumsy management would completely
destroy the effectiveness Of her make up.
Let us be devoutly thankful that the wom-
anwho has adopted this sweeping bit OF hnery
cannot, so long us the sun shines, give 1t
rise in the world, for have yet TO run across
a sister who has succeeded In comprising the
art of picking up her petticOats. Just take
our station some rainy day and watch re-
suits. Not one woman In hundred will pass

Inartistic Women.

tlcs-to coin word Ito dress, says an artist,
"but one of the strangest is the way In which
they treat their necks In wearing low cor
sage Nearly every woman believes that a
black velvet band heishtens the beauty of her
neck. Especially If It be long and slender,
does she insist upon putting black velvet
about 1t. And thus she makes 1t look even
longer and senderer. The effect of black
close up to the neck and face Is always to
make them look thin. A very stout wufban,
with neck plump, may employ the Black
band with advantage, but the thin woman
should wear light ribbon, white or blue, or
string of pearls or of gold beads, If she
wants to produce the pleasantest effect"

WOmen's Work In Science.

The steady increase of patents granted to
women since scientific studies have been
opened to them explains In part why inven.
lions by that sex have been heretofore so
rare. A list recently published gives the
number of patents granted to women inven.
tors by the Unites States government, from
the year 1890 to July 1888. as 1890. After
1909 to 1915 only one patent was issued. From
1857 the number of women Inventors increas-
ed rapidly. In 1870 the number was sixty |;
In 1887 the number reached TO- II last
years list were published 1t would probably
show still more rapid advance. And these
inventions take a wide range, from mere
household and dress Inventions to railroad
journal boxes and submarine telescopes. In
addition to the better scope and invitation for
inventive genius which wider knowledge
gives, the more dependent position of.women
now requires less moral courage on their
part to apply for patents than would have
been necessary at an earlier PERIOD New
