TAXES ON THE FARM
Cut Down a Quarter Of a Mil
lion
BY TOWNSHIP SUPERVISORS
City Valuations Are Proportionstsly High
Having Gone Up While Farm Values
AIs Down The Figures

The tax rolls from the townships OF
the county are all IN the hands OF the
committee excepting Algoma. Oakfeld
and Walker, and the figures are some
what surprlslng, showing . decrease IN
valuation Of more than q quarter OF q
million dollars. The valuation IN the
city increased $500, 900 on the last rolls.
and with this decrease in the valuation
IN the townships, the proportion OF
state and county tax which must be
paid by the city is proportionately IN
creased. BY an examination OF the
following table 1t will be seen that
Grand Rapids township, Paris township
and Walker township were reduced IN
valustion slightly, while Wyoming was
increased. These four townships we're
affected by the increase in tie size of
the city. The total valuation of these
four townships shows reduction OF
but SCI, 355, while the Increase OF $780,
900 IN the city is attributed &C the ter
ritory taken from these townAhips and
added to the city.

FIXED UP A SLATE
The Populists Sell Candidate
Howell and the
DENIS NOMINATE MoUlToN
Both County Committees Had Lively
Scraps Over the kxchsnge-Why
Howell Was Dropped

Ever since the democratic county
convention Was he'd and 10 candidate
for probate judge was nominated be-
cause the democrats dare not place q
populist on the ticket, there has been q
gap In the slate. but st the eleventh
hour the democratic county commit
tee, after using Moulton az s. cate paw
with which 10 rake the peoples party
candidates from the ticket, placed him
IN the vacant place. The price paid
tor the favor was the turning down Of
c. c. Howell and the supporting Of ".
Mcknight Johnnie Greenway, "the
printer statesman" when asked 10 re-
sgn in favor Of Frank Carpenter. sad
with fine feeling, "Bs damn n Will"
Both the democratic aud people party
county committee held star chamber
| sessions yesterday afternoon, and they
were both lively ana interesting. The
democratic committee waited until the
popullsts came 10 their oats before they
kept their part OF the agreement
Howell IL Withdrawn.
The meeting of the peoples party
| committee resulted IN the slthdrawal
| Of {. {. Howell, candidate for nrose-
| cutting attorney. and Mr.. Cowles. the
candidate for county surveyor, ana
the endorsement of Mr.. Mcknight IA
prosecuting attorney. MIR. Howell
said that Mr.. Mcknight had offered
| him q position as assistant prosecuting
attorney and would assign TO him ths
superior court, ana MIR. Howell thought
| he "could serve the county 10 good ad-
vantage there" Several members Of
| tie committee did not wish 10 zee Mr.
! Howell go, but member stated that
| If the change wss not made tie demo-
| Gratis would refuse 10 support MoDiton.
| although II WAS the original considera-
| ton that McQueen's endorsement by
the populists would be followed py the
| endorsement Of Moulton.
Mcknight Got There
After some frey debate Mcknight
was placed on the ticket. JOHNNIE
| Greenwsy had been approached and
| told If be would withdraw IN favor OF
Carpenter, ne could be deputy county
clerk, John refused but made the
proposition that II Carpenter would
withdraw IN his favor, and he wRs
elected Carpenter could still lie deputy
and II Mr.. Carpenter didn't want 10 90
that, he could go back 10 kicking
clover on the farm. This proposition
Was acce ptsble 10 the committee, but
Mr.. Carpenter couldn't see il that way
The democratic committee had s
lively discussion and finally settled
down to vote. The fret ballot for
Moulton was stsnd-o;f, and il looked
as II the spirituslist statesman wouldn't
be able 10 come 10 time for more than
two rounds, but be was an easy winner
IN the second.
The action of the peoples csndi-
dates IN Withdrawing and the reluc-
fancy with which the democrats kept
their agreement, as parties of the acc
ond part IN the grand sell out, has
made many popullst sick nigh unto
a political death.

ADJUSTMENTS.

"a Midnight Alarm" was presented

usual sensational meIodrama that de-
ponds for success upon it's realistic feat
ures. The strongest actors in the pro-
ductiOn are pair of horses and steam

plauSe. There is enough crime and at

morbid appetite, and the VILLAIN is foiled
