Both collectors Mckee and Dough-
erty We're kept busy this morning re-
ceiVing taxes from property owners
who have become aroused by the
notices the collectors have given that
they would proceed to collect to-day
by law from any aud all who have not
yet paid. In the line Of taxpayers were
quite n number of ladies' awaiting
their turn to pay up. Occasionally one
would ask for u little more grace-not
more than o week which was inyari-
ably granted II tho taxpayers keep
up this mornings rate OF paying taxes
there will be no necessity for the col.
lectors to levy on the property OF those
who owe taxes. The collectors, how
eyer, are only restrained by the rush
to-day from going out to make leyies,
and they both say that they must have
their money.

About to visit some section OF country
where malarial disease, either in the
form OF chills and fever or bilious re-
mittept Yves particularly rife, what
would be about the best advice YOU
could give him2 We will tell you-to
carry along, or procure on arriving,
that potent medicinal safeguard, Hos
letters Stomach Bittefs, known
throughout malarial plagued regions,
here and in other counties, as the sur
est means OF disarintng the miasmatlc
scourge, and robbing It of its fell de-
structive influence. Not only does it
iortify the system by increasing its
stamina, but overcomes irregularity
OF digestion, the liver and the bowels
and counteracts the unfavorable effect
OF over-exertion, bodily and mental
exposure In rough weather, or occupa-
ton too sedentary or laborous, loss
OF appetite and excessive nervousness.
The functions of alimentatlon, bilious
secretion and sleep have in 1t most
powerful and raliable auxiliary.

burning the wires In the boxes out
and rendering them useless until re-
paired.

Copies Of the following have been
sent TO all tho public schools In VIII
mtngton by Superintendent Harlan;
SuPEriNrrSpnNr's OTFIcE
Jan. 5, 1891.
To PRrNcrpALs:
Tho rude that forbids assistant teach
ers from INJECTING corporal punish
ment shonid be strictly observed, but
the breaking OF the rule does not
exempt the teacher from reporting the
cases in which ID Is broken.
As there may exist some difference
of opinion as to what Ii to be report
ed as corporal punishment, let me say
that every Instance in which teacher
strikes a pnpil with rod, ruler, or hand
must BIO reported as case OF corporal
| punishment.
I This Is the sense in which corporal
punishment is understood by school
officers; and for teachers to cVnstrue
corporal punishment to mean only
cases OF severe whipping, and to re-
port only such cases, puts them and
allwho knowingly accept their reports
in bad position in regard to truth
| telling.
II inflicted at oil, corporal punish
ment should only be inflicted after
mature elaboration. and then not in
tho presence OF a room full OF pupils.
/ Among the gratifying things that
have observed in the schools OF late is
the decrease In the number of cases OF
corporal punishment.
In 10 schools not case was reported
last month, and In three schools only
one case each. Only 20 cases in all
were reported last month.
The numbers Of cases reported fol
the five years last preceding the pres
ent year were respectively as follows
ZIG, G06, $50 $50, ISL.
While tho number of pupils has beer
Increasing from year to year II will bC
saen that the number of cases OF cor
pufal punishment has been decreasing
rapidly. From my observation
should say TINT the discipline Is better
than when the number Of cases OF cor
pUrGl punishment was twice as grea
as ut present. ID. w. HARLAN,
