they paid in taxes in 1871, $4,000;
1881, SALE, 600; 1891, $S5O,OOO. Allow
ing the same increase land who doubts
but it will be in a greater ratio) they
will pay in taxes at the end of the
next thirty years $3,OOO,0OO, or enough
to run the whole state government,
economically administered, without
one cent of tax on the people.
But" say the railroads, it is not
fair to tax us Oh our income; we should
be taxed upon onr assessed valuation
the same as the people are taxed .
which reads well, but let us consider
that when they had large bodies Of
land and their gross earnings were
small it was soft snap for them, only
$4,000 per year: now their lands are
getting less and less each year and
will soon be all disposed of, in the
meantime their roads are growing
longer, their earnings getting larger
their taxes climbing into the millions
and they are beginning to squeal
After trying to get the people to let
up On them by all attempted consti-
tutional amendment and the people
said no, they now try to do it by
forgery.
When railroad incomes we're small
the people had to pay all the taxes
"TuFn about is fair play"-now the
income of the people is small, let the
railroads pay the taxes. There is an
other vicious clause in this proposed
amendment, house amendment tC
the original Senate File, providing
for the taxation of mining property
Your readers will remember my at
tempt to repeal q certain law relating
to taxation of mining property at the
session in 1891, and what a fight was
made against me by one Of the most
powerful lobbies ever gathering at the
capitol of state, and as is usual il
such cases l was defeated. The law
sought to be repealed was one passed
at the special session of 1881 and pro
vides that "ull corporations who own
and operate mines shall pay in lieu
Of all other taxes one cent per ton on
their output"
I sought It's repeal en- three grounds
viz: unconsttutionality, class legisla
ton and injustice to the people.
Unjust because it taxes mining
companies about one-tenth what they
should be. taxed; class legislation be

person or y laborer may own, he is
taxed as other people, until he be

"Moreover, many industries have

THE AMENDMENTS.

We have received the following ar
ticle from s. W, Leavitt of Litchfeld,
state senator 39th district, which fully
explains the rottenness Of the pro-
posed constitutional amendments
which are submitted to the voters of
this state at the election on the Sth of
November. Read the article care
fully, and then vote against the pro-
posed amendments.
[ desire to call the attention of the
voters of this state to the proposed
constitutional amendment, known as
Senate File No. 124, as being the most
vicious piece of legislation ever sought
to be engrafted upon our constitution.
[ feel great interest in this matter
not only as citizen who has the well
fare of the people and the interest of
good government at heart, but for the
;eason that l was the author and in
troduced the original Senate File 124
which bears as much resemblance tC
the bill now upon our statute books
as light does to darkness.
The bill as introduced in the Senate
and as it passed that body reads as
follows:
"a BILL"
"For an act proposing an amend
ment to section three 81 of article
nine (0 of the constitution of the
State of Minnesota, authorizing a tax
alton of the gross earnings OF sleep

or two from the house, if possible into
gravel soil.
If the character Of your land be
sandy or gravelly. you need have no
anxiety about drainage, as the melting
ice will take care of itself. The main
point is securing good drainage SO as
to prevent draft of air under the ice
chamber It is well to have a stone
underpinning well pointed with NOR
tar. A current of mir will melt many
tons of ice in week. An excellent
plan in use under many ice houses is
cold storage room A bank is most
convenient for this arrangement,
though by elevating the floor for, ice
four to six feet moderately good stor-
age room can be secured with little
extra cost The one objection to this
convenience under the chamber Is that
II is likely to allow drafts OF air up
through the Ice house unless great caro-
il exercised. A tight, or nearly tight,
and sloping floor should be made and
the drainage carried into q trough and
away fsom the building in a pipe. OF
course the floor, which also forms the
ceiling of the cold storage room. must
be heavily propped or underpinned to
support ice SO the great weight above
will not crush it in. Many find such Q
storage room extremely useful In hold
ing fer few days small fruits, vegeta-
bles, meats, ETC., for market, and for
preserving the family supplies For
foundation walls probably nothing is
cheaper or superior to concrete well
laid below frost The walls il OF wood
must be double or treble the same as
for the ice house proper. Double doors
and windows must also be provided.
Never overlook the rule that the
smaller the amount Of ice stored the
greater is its proportionate waste

Psrpetu.I Motion Machine.

1t is generally known among en-
gineers that a novel motor is running
at the patent Office in Washington and
has been for many years, and to some
minds seems to fulfill the conditions of
perpetual motion. The inventor made
this claim, but it is hardly correct.
Perpetual motion is said to exist IL a
machine that when once started will
continue to run until worn out" This
machine operates by the power given
out in the different expansion of metals
under varying conditions, and is so
small and carefully constructed that if
there was absolutely no change in
temperature of the room it would run
when once started thirty eight days be-
fore stopping. If it was possible to
put it in some place for this length Of
time, as the center of the earth, where
the temperature would be constant, it
would stop, SO does not fulfill the con-
dition of perpetual motion; but that
cannot be done where the machine now
is, so it has run for great many years
without stopping, and probably will
continue to run until it wears out.

up next morning Peggy Ann didn't
come to greet him as usual and was no
"'She's gone back to be bar az in,
poor old galr said Jim.
'vThere was great sorrow at Jim's
farm over the going away of Peggy
Ann, f or she was not only valuable
piece of live stock, but she had en-
deared herself to the family by her
cheerful and gentle ways. No effort
was made to trace her and fetch her
back, for, as Jim said, she had
reasoned the whole matter out and
knew what she thought was best for
her to do. The backbone of winter
was Just about getting ready to be
broken the next spring when Jim
Bonesett almost tainted away one
morning to see a big bear come run
ming toward him in the yard. Jim was
about to turn and leg it for the house
when the bear stopped and lifted one
fore paw Then Jim recognized
Peggy Ann, and they had joyful
time in the family when Jim hurried in
with the news. And he had more news
than the arrival of Peggy Ann to re-
port, for at her side waddled fluffy ball
coal black fur in the shape of two
weeks'-old cub. Peggy Ann and her
cub were given the best of quarters
and in O couple of weeks she fell into
the harness again and buckled into her
work Just as of old But she wasn't
the same. She was listless and discon-
tented, frequented Old Blacky's grave
and seemed unhappy. But she kept
right on and when her cub was old
enough they broke him to do the work
his mother had done so long and he got
to be as apt as she was, but not so
willing nor cheerful When the young
bear got so he could do the work well
Peggy Ann disappeared again.
g L see it alli' said Jim. The poor
oil bar can't stand it to be around the
farm without Old Blacky and she didn't
have the heart to leave us short of help.
Soon as she got ber son all broke into
the harness she left the farm an has
gone back to the wilderness to die
amongst her own folks

bear, and three years and more passed
Last month Jim Bonesett thought he'd
go out and kill a few pheasants. He
was sneaking along through the woods,
when he jumped a big bear out from
the roots of fallen tree. The bear
went bang against another tree in his
hurry to get away and evidently think
ing that Jim was responsible for this
humping of his head, he turned and
made for Jim, as mad as hornet. Jim

Duke Of Kent. Prince Adolphus Frederick
Queen Victoria. Princess Mary OF Teck.
Prince Of Wales. Princess victoria Mary.
Duke Of Clarence.
The Teck family have not been
blessed with riches at any time. The
princess, who is possessed of consldera-
BILE artistic taste, is a very competent
pianist, and she has always been ready
to give her services in that capacity to
amateur entertainments about Rich
mond where any charitable or deserv-
ing object was to be served The cir
cumstances in which she had been
placed will have been valuable train
ing for the relatively modest income on
which she and her husband must, in
the ordinary course Of things, expect
to live for some years to come.
The duke of Clarence is a namby-
pamby sort of fellow, who has made
very little impression and who certain
ly has not taken any pains to be popu-
lar. Until the papers began to chronicle
his movements as colonel of the Tenth
Hussars people knew very little about

all in the forms of usefulness which
are suggested to him. The people in
Paris speak of him as nothing but
starch. His less complimentary nick
name in London is collars and Cuffs. !"
He has been as unfavCrably compared
with Prince George as was the prince OF
Wales in his younger days with the
duke of Edinburgh.
The duke of Clarence is not much OF
a sportsman, though he rides to hounds
occasionally. 1t is said of him that
once when visiting a country house in
Scotland he spent most OF his spare
time in the cellar chasing rats with a
sharp stick.
A few years ago he manifested an in
ordinate fondness for American girls
SO much SO that parental authority was
called in to prevent too frequent visits
to the Metropole. Still, now that he
has won the girl of his heart and viii
soon have an establishment of his own,
the duke may broaden into a useful man
so far as his limited opportunities VIII
permit.

himself had started to run, but seeing
that the bear would catch him from
behind and have him at a disadvantage,
he turned and gave bruin charge of
bird shot. The shot didn't stop the
bear and the next thing Jim knew the
bear was upon him and had him down
and was clawing and chawing away at
him at fearful rate. Somehow, he
doesn't know how, Jim managed to
get out of the bears grasp and to his
feet. He backed away and the bear
came tearing at him again. Jim gave
up then and would more than likely
have been dead man within the next
five minutes, when swish, swash, ker-
losh came something through the
brush and before the bear got to Jim
another big bear jumped on the scene.
"'Go 'wayl go 'wayp Jim shouted,
SO scared. Go way! One O. you can
git away with me easy enough!'
''But the second bear just gave one
look at Jim and then threw itself
against the other bear like locomo-
tive. Jim said that it thrashed the
first bear around so that as soon as it
could get a chance it went limping and
bleeding away as fast as its legs could
carry it. Then the second bear turned
toward Jim, and, taking a few steps,
raised its right fore paw.
Peggy Ann, by the great cork
screwr yelled Jim, and the next sec
ond he and the bear that had saved his
life were hugging one another, while
Jim jumped for joy.
"Sure enough, the rescuiDg bear was
old Peggy Ann, and Jim induced her to
go back to the farm with him. She
seemed glad to get back to the old
place, and when Sassy Sam, as they
called her son, came in from the back
orchard, where he had been turning
the cider mill, she rushed up to meet
him. And what do you suppose the
ungrateful young rascal did? He
looked contemptuously at his old
mother for moment and then struck
her alongside the head blow that
knocked her PROSTATE at his feet.
Then he marched on, not even conde-
scending to look around Peggy Ann
got up, looked sorrowfully after Sassy
Sam and then crept away to old

attracted him. He is now twenty-seveu,
and might have waited for a few years
longer without becoming an aged
bachelor. The princess Is twenty-four,
and had no fear of old-maidenhood for
many a year to come. At last the
Duke of Clarence's evident calculation
justified itself. Called upon suddenly
to settle in life, he has obtained the
settlement he desired. 1t is interest
ing to know that the princess OF
Wales and her daughter have all along
been in favor of allowing the duke to
marry the girl of his choice. They gave
all the encouragement in their power,
but could avail nothing against the
obdurate opposition of the queen.
The Duke of Clarence and Princess
Victoria Mary of Teck are second
cousins once removed" and are both
descendants on the side of the mothers
from George Ill, thus:
