DOUBLE ASSESSMENTS.
An Elevator Company Asked to
Taxes in Two Wards.


The elevator of the Interstate Grain
company is situated on land belonging
to the Great Northern railway in the
Second ward. The Office of the compa-
ny Is in he Fifth ward. When tn
tax list was made out in the Office of the
company the elevator was included in
the list of personal property in the Fifth
ward on the ground that it is located
non-taxable land, and therefore for pur-
poses of taxation is personal property

IS realty and should be assessed in the
ward where it stands, which was done.
The company object to paying
double taxes on it, and they intend to

FURTHER PROSECUTION.
Three More Complaints Filed
Against Orrington Gardiner.

District Attorney Hay yesterday
placed three additional complaints BET
fore Judge Nelson against Orrington
Gardiner, the letter carrier. He is
charged with opening letters and inter-
rupting the course of the mails. One
complaint was rejected at once on the
ground that the subject matter had been
introduced IN the trial just ended. The
other two were taken under advisement

EXPOSITION AFFAIRS.
The Guarantee Fund Will Be
Raised in Time.

At their meeting two weeks ago the
exposition board decided that unless the
guarantee fund for this years exposi-
ton should reach the sum of 100000 by
to-day, the exposition would not be
held. In consequence Of this action,
Manager Bracket has been doing some
very lively hustling for the past two
weeks, and it looks as though he would
win by a neck. Yesterday the fund
lacked just about S., 900 of the required
amount, and this deficit will without a
doubt be raised before the board meets
to-day. and it is probable that an effort
will be made to raise the fund more
than 100000.

A well known family of Minneapolis
are distinguished by similar birthmark,
said to have been borne by every member
of the family for the past two hundred
years. However this may be, 1t is certain
that the mark is carried by all of them
now known. It is small cash like a
knife wound at the base of the neck, mar
rowly escaping the spinal cord.
This cut, which resembles fresh stab
with raw lips, refuses to be healed and
at times bleeds profusely and even alarm
ingly. It is about three inches in length
and varies In depth from q quarter of an
inch to an inch and q half, increasing as
the bearer grows older and becoming
more angry and occasioning greater loss
of blood.
This peculiar birthmark has been the
cause of death to nearly all of the family
possessing it, as after the age of thirty
five or forty 1t assumes an exceedingly
malignant nature, discharging pus and
blood until modification ensues. In the
children it seldom amounts to more than
a very deep scratch, causing slight pains,
but readily infamed by fever or other ILL
ness.
There is attached to this a peculiarly
romantic story of an ancestors coward
ly blow at a brother and supposed to per-
petnate its memory in this way, but ply
sicians pronounce it to be of a cancerous
nature, hereditary and remarkable in the
history of medicine.

Captain Cruikshank of the English army
told story about idolatry in India lately,
says an exchange. 1t seems, he says, as if
there were more idols than p ople in India.
They are made of stone metal or wood, and
you can see them under every shade tree.
1t is like reading a chapter from the
Bible to walk about some of the groves. A
few of the temples are made of Solid mar
BILE and gold.
The custom of worship is amusing. The
devout Indian, on reaching the temple,
first rings bell. This is to notify the god
that he is on hand to do business. After
that ceremony the worshiper repeats his
prayers, and then deposits his offerings.
These consist of rice, grain and cloth. They
are afterward put into the holy cart and
sold
The priests have no trouble in selling
them, for the holy food is always quoted
high. Twenty loads of holy food can be
sold in the time 1t takes to dispose of a cargo
that has not been to the temple.
The ceremony of putting the gods to sleep
would make saint laugh. The worshipers
assemble in the temple and blow on horns,
yelling and shouting at the top Of their
voices. This resembles an American In
dian war-dance. and it Is kept up all night
long.
Other ceremonies are as strange, and the
work of civilization does not progress
rapidly Buddhism did more than any
thing else to reform idolatry, but the peo-
pie have drifted back into the same old
habits,
An advance sect with high morals has
oeen founded but it will do but little if any

Origin of High Heels.

Heels, it is said owe their origin to Per-
sia where they were introduced upon san
ials in the shapes Of blocks of wood fixed
underneath, such being tho root idea of
those deformities to which lovely woman
owes so many of her woes. A high, I'M
steady heel, it is an open secret, Injuries
the leg tendons, and affects the spine as
well as the internal organs, which are liable
to be displaced by the thrown forward posi-
ton entailed.
In Persia, the first home of the high heel,
however, these blocks of wood were used
simply to "raise the feet from the burning
sands of that country, and were about two
inches high" With the Persian women
these blocks were vastly higher than those
erected by the men, their height being
from eighteen inches to two feet, thus be-
coming more of the nature of stills than
anything else.
Strangely enough many years after, a
similar fashion came into vogue in Venice;
but the motive In this case was comically
different, for "by its means jealous hus-
bands thought they would be able to keep
their wives at home" The supports OF
such shoes In Venice were called chapi-
neys." and to appease the vanity of the
ladies, and doubtless also to sugar the pill,
were made highly ornate.
The height of these chapineys deter
mined the rank OF the wearer, an extra
coating for the pill, the noblest DANES
being permitted to wear them one-half yard
or more high. The Hospital.

IIIs stomaeh q nIu.eum.

The London Lancet has just recorded
remarkable case which adds one more to
the list OF those which have been placed
on record that show what q man will eat
in order to stay the cravings Of his stom-
ach and the pain he suffers when he is
starving. The body of an Arab, who was
stowaway on ship which had just ar
rived, was found in the hold and was con-
veyed to the Seamen's Hospital at Green
witch, where a post-mortem was made.
The physicians noticed that the body was
greatly emaciated, and on opening 1t sew
eral hard bodies were observed In the in
testines. The alimentary canal was there
upon opened and in it they found the fol-
lowing objects, which practically turned
the mans intestines into kind of museum.
The articles were: Twenty trouser but
tons, three cog wheels, apparently por-
tions of watch, two-inch steel screw
which was bent double, a one-inch screw,
six pieces of lock, the largest being half
an inch long and half an inch broad, a
circular piece Of brass, several pieces OF
iron wire, some bits of brass and lead and
two key tallies on a ring an inch long. The
weight Of these various articles amounted
to exactly half pound.

The Becoming Hat.

The woman with pug" nose Is not
wise-at least not in matters of dress-if
she wears bonnet with sharply peaked
brim, accenting the upward tendency of
her nose; or If her forehead slopes sharply
back from the bridge Of her nose she is
most unwise to select hat in which the
trimming slopes obliquely toward the
back, from there towering into the air. If
her face is plain and hard featured, she is
not wise to comb her hair smoothly back
and wear sailor-shaped hat or any other
with severely plains. outline. Her plain
features need the relief of waved or curled
locks to soften their severity, and a hat or
bonnet with irregular, pulled edges and
soft folds above, not stiff brims, plainly
bound.
The short, stout woman with double
chin should eschew the style of dress with
horizontal bands Of trimming upon the
skirt, the short jacket Of thick material
that Is oftener than not, by some irony of
fate, trimmed with fluffy fur, and also the
very broad-brimmed, feather-encircled
hat, fateful combination that makes her
look like ball. Magazine.

kissing the Book.

The custom Of swearing on the Bible
comes from the ancient Jews, who at first
touched their phylacteries-small cases
containing strips of parchment inscribed
with texts from the Old Testament-in
taking oaths, and later laid their hands on
the book of the law; and all the various
customs of taking oaths in different coun-
tries have a similar origin.
The early Anglo-SaxonS regarded stones
as sacred to their gods, therefore laid their
hands on a pillar Of stone. In medieval
times 1t was customary to touch a relic,
and this was regarded as giving the oath
more sacredness than when sworn upon
the missal, or prayer book. Another Gus
tom Of the same times was swearing by
churches. A certain number were men
toned, and the attestor was obliged to go
to each one, take the ring of the church
door in his hand, and repeat his oath.
The custom of kissing the cross to
attest an oath has been observed in Russia
from very early times and has extended
into other countries. According to the
laws Of the Order Of the Garter in the
time OF Henry VIII, Knights Templar
we're required in taking the oath to touch
the book and kiss the cross. Since the
Reformation the taking of oaths by kiss
ing the Bible has not been permitted In
Scotland. In other portions of Great
Britain 1t is the common method.-Detroit
Free Press.

The herds Of horses on q Western ranch
roaming over SO large space, rarely en-
counter one another. When they do, the
mares evince only the smallest possible
amount Of curiosity, but Join and Craze.
Difference Is 1t with the stations. With
but moments preparation, they rush
wildly at one another like mad bulls,
neighing in what seems the mockery of q
neigh, and with head In air and tail curv-
ing proudly they rush and plunge and rear,
kicking and biting, stamping one or the
other until the ground and horses are
covered with blood, and exhaustion of one
forces surrender and retreat.
AS have said, the tickle mares march
Off with the conqueror at their head, while
the defeated lags YEARLY behind. One Of
the most terrible battles that probably
ever took place between ranch stations
occurred near the home ranch Of the little
Missouri Horse Farm in the Spring of 1888.
at the time when the several punches or
droves of horses were being driven in from
the ranges for an account of stock and for
the branding of the young colts. 1t hap
pened by the merest chance that three
droves came in together with the stations
leading.
Naturally the three Joined, and at once
arose the question of leadership. This
could only be settled by battle, and be-
fore the herders could begin to form any
plan for separating them, the three stall
lions were engaged in the fiercest ba, lie
AS described by those who saw it, this bat
tie was so savage and bloody that it
seemed certain that at least one Of the
combatants must be killed.
1t lasted more than twenty minutes, and
when the smoke Of battle" cleared away
and the fight was done, a big gray Per-
cheron called Napoleon was seen to be TIE
victor, and he it was that, with uplifted
head and proudly curved tail, led the com.
pany of mares and colts to the pastures
while the two defeated ones marched to
gether, like whipped ours, dejectedly IN
the rear.
In this instance, although the fight was
an unusually desperate one, and all three
horses were badly cut and torn, none O.
the three suffered more than temporary
iscomfort.-Harper's Weekly.

Our System of Notation.

Some system Of notation has been used
since time out Of memory. The first rec
ords we have Of it is of figures written
with stick on fiat surface covered with
sand Before that ell calculations were
made with pebbles, beans and the like.
Even now the Chinese do their calculating
with little stones or beads strung on wires,
in frame. The Romans first used verti-
cal Iines-L., H., III, etc.-to express num-
bers. The Arabic figures, which we COM
monty use at the present time, are Of much
earlier date. The Arabic system is chiefly
valuable on account of the great convent
ence it affords by giving a figure value,
according to the place 1t occupies in the
line. By this system the most enormous
sums can be expressed by the ten little
characters which form the numerical al
phabet.-St. Louis Republic.

Disease in cigar clippInv,.

Or. Ferd Wilson and friend went into q
Broadway cigar store the other day. The
friend selected a dark Havana, put one end
between his lips, rolled it bit to moisten
1t, then put the tip in the metal cutter on
the counter and clipped it off. He then
placed the clipped end in his mouth and
drew in once or twice before lighting. He
coughed several times as he lighted the
weed. Pardon me-" said the doctor,
you should never do it that way. Here is
the method" The doctor picked up an
other cigar, bit the end off with his teeth,
placed the other end in his mouth and

mTIome. Sweet Honle.p

The death of Mrs. Asa jackson has
brought up once again the much-talked OF
mystery OF the whereabouts of the original
Of John Howard Payne's Home, Sweet
Home" says an Athens, Ga. despatch.
Mrs. Jackson was a near relative of Miss
Mary Hardin, who was much admired by
John Howard Payne. For Il long time Miss
Hardin had the only known copy of the
famous song in the handwriting of it's
author. When she was dying several years
ago in Athens it was rumOred that i'll one
of her eccentric moods she had willGd the
copy to be buried with her. but when asked
on her death bed if this were true, she told
Mrs. jackson that she had not done so, but
had left the manuscript, as we'll as all her
other earthly goods, as a bequest to her.
After Mrs. Hardins death the manuscript
was searched for by Mrs. jackson, but was
not found. Onlya few days ago a reporter
called on Mrs. jackson and asked if moth
ing had ever come of the search.
Nothing yet" was tho reply, but I
hope to find it before die. Mary kept the
copy concealed all the time while she lived.
John Howard Payne sent it to her when
he was Consul to Agiers, and between the
lines were written little love messages.
They were sweethearts once, these two
Mary was offered tempting sums for the
manuscript in her lifetime by the Harpers
and by other Northern publishers, but
