In the matter Of the equalization
and assessment Cf the property Of
the county, the board of supervisors at
their annual meeting last week, took
a very radical departure from prece-
dents heretofore established. While
The Democrat does not desire to call
in question the motives Of the mem
bers of the board, we think that it can
be clearly demonstrated that their
action was entirely unwaranted. Last
year the committee brought in a re
port, which was unanimously adopted
by the board, and was at least approx
imately fair, and was supposed TO be
generally satisfactory. Under the
new arrangement the city Of Mineral
Point fares worse than any other city
or town in the county. While the
aggregate value Of all propety in the
county has been reduced $2l4, l29, the
value Of all property in the city has
been increased $27,O6l. Fortunately
the total amount of tax levied upon
the county is $5,85l less than a year
ago, being $39,4l6 as against $l5,2 5,2G7
in 1890. But the amount apportioned

The Common Sense Weather Strip.

The finest thing in the way Of a
weather strip was shown us last week
by John II. Padon carpenter and
builder of this city. 1t is appropriate
lynamed the Common Sense Weather

permance, excellence and cheapness.
1t consists Of two neatly designed
mouldings, so made that when applied
they close together in such a manner
as to exclude the dust, cold, storms
and wind. 1t is claimed and we be
lieye rightly that the (" In proved Com

The extremely low water will be the
death of millions of fish. The little

this winter the water in the lakes and
sloughs will freeze to the bottom and
destroy the fish. Such thing has
happened in past years and it looks
now as though it will occur again.
