The supreme court yesterday hand
ed down decision in the Washington
county tax case, entitled Henry Erwin
VS. Frank NJ Hubbard, assessor The
dcision is in favor of the assessor
and affirms the Judgment of the dis
trict court
Erwin claimed that about 1000
head of his cattle were assessed i'll
both Ada and Washington counties
for the year 1889, He refused to
pay the taxes in Washington county,
producing receipts from the Ada as
SCISSOR and stating if he should be re-
CURED to pay taxes in Washington it
would be double taxation. Some of
his cattle were seized by the Wash
ington assessor and we're about to be
sold when Erwin paid the taxes under
protest. He then brought suit to re-
cover, and Judge Nugent decided
against him.
The supreme court gives the gist
of the decision in the syllabus, which
is as follows
cit is the duty of the taxpayer to
furnish the assessor, on demand, the
statement on oath required by section
1929 of the rivised statutes, and if he
neglects or fails to do so, it is the
duty of the assessor to assess such
taxpayers property within his juris
diction, and in that case the taxpayer
cannot recover taxes paid under pro
test on property so assessed.
although property was assessed
in the county of Ada in 1889, the
assessment of the same property il
the county of Washington in the same
year was not double taxation, but ;
penalty imposed by law for refusal t.
furnish the settlement as required b,
said section 1929.
The court holds that when Erwil
refused to give the assessor of Wash
ington county statement as required
by law, he waived all right to recove
money paid under protest. Whe
such refusal was made it was the du
ty of the assessor 10 make an estimat
of the value of the property and col
lect taxes on that basis. Sectio
1893 states that the value fixed b
the assessor in such cases cannot /
changed by the county commissioners
clearly indicating that the own'
should lose all right to have his PR
perty valuation reduced if he negle
ed or refused to furnish the stat
ment.
This the court says was clearl
meant as penalty. If Erwin ha
furnished a statement to Assesst
Hubbard, he could have made appl
cation to either the commissioners {
Ada or Washington counties to co
rect the matter, In that case
would have been double taxation, pul
and simple. The law made amp
provision for the protection of ia
payers in such emergencies.
The decision was by Justice Su
van, Justice Morgan concurrin

The musical festival at the Ven
dome parlors, under the auspices of
the Episcopal ladies, was decided
success, both socially and financially.
Chinese lanterns illuminated the spa
cious verandas, and under their soft
light were artistically arranged tables,
at which the guests partook of the
refreshments served, which were not
to be surpassed. The musical selec-
tions, enjoyed by an appreciative
audience, were excellently well rem
dered by some of the best loca
talent Altogether it was an enjoya-
BILE affair for all the participants and
proved one of the many successful
entertainments for which Weiser il
noted. A.

There is much that is amusing to
be seen sometimes in small incidents
For instance the sign Dangerous"
tackled on the bridge over the Little
Weiser at Salubria is funny for its
uselessness. If the sign read ''This
Bridge is Absolutely Safe" it would
attract the attention of the public as
intended; but as it is, it remains con-
temptuously unnoticed by passersby.

 ren Destroyed.
A MAN AND WOMAN FATALLY BURNT
Brave Men Rescue Sixteen Chiidren-The Flames Completely Gut the Build ing-The Cause of the Fire
 Mystery.

VINELAND, N. J., Feb. 2G-Two lives were lost and a score placed in immi- nent peril by fire which consumed a portion of the state home for feeble minded children at this place yester. day. The victims were J. H. Sage, the engineer of the institution, and his wife, who acted as laundresS The fire was discovered in the basement of the handsome three story brick structure known as ''the Robinson memorial cot tage." Sixteen helpless and well nigh idiotic children slept on the lower floors and for a time it seemed as il nothing short of miracle could pos sibly save them
 The little ones, all unaware of the terrible fate which threa tened them, slept the sleep of the innocent while the deadly flames and stifling smoke crept nearer and nearer to them. In the upper floors were about the same num- Der of adults, all of whom were in like danger. Just at the critical moment help and dozen brave men, headed by Augustus Speer, a stage driver, broke down the doors and rushed into the burning building, rescuing the children at the imminent risk of their own lives, and carrying them to place of safety, through the bitter colds winds
 It was thought all had been saved, when the white and terror-stricken faces of Sage and his wife appeared at a window in the third floor, and their voices were heard crying piteously for help. Answering shouts from below bade them remain where they were un' til a ladder could be procured, but they were too much frightened to obey. Just as help was about to come and at time when it seemed as if they would surely be saved, both disappeared from the window and were seen no more.
 The flames swept on, completely gut ting the building. Yesterday after noon the bodies of the unfortunates were found at the foot of the stairway, burned to crisp indicating that they had tried that means of escape, only to rush to certain death Loss on build, ing and contents, s3O,OO0 The cause of the fire is a mystery.

 ''The hero of my story" he began, land he was hero of the first water. was an Arkansas farmer who sailed under the honorable name of Miller. Of course you all know that in Arkan- sas it is against the law of the common wealth to use dynamite in the public waters. We'll, to hurry through the statement of the case, a lot of us came to the conclusion that if we wanted to make a big haul of fish it would be necessary to use little force. Accord ingly dynamite bombs were secured, and we asked Miller to go up stream guests, would gather at ford few rods down and secure the floating fish. Miller, accompanied by highly edu- cated water spaniel, went up the bank and prepared for his attack upon the denizens of the water. He hurled one missile, fuse attached, into the stream. An instant later the dog was in the water, and in a moment he had the bomb in his mouth swimming for the shore
 "'Drap it, Tiger shouted the farmer. 'Drap it, sayr
 But the dog would not obey. He swan wildly forward and in twenty seconds had landed. Miller started to run, the dog coming after him at a break-neclS gait Miller ran toward the fishermen below. They realized the situation in an instant, and level ling their guns warned the farmer to run in another direction. The situa- tion, for all its seriousness, was the funniest that ever saw. Miller ran wildly down the hill, yelling at the dog to go back.
 "'Stopr he yelled. 'Drap it, Tige! Go homep But the dog only increased his efforts to reach his masters side
 But the end soon came. The fuse burned its length, and then-Miller never recovered even the collar of pooi Tiger'-St Louis Republic.
