this Clearance Sale

Now as you say you stand ready
for correction, with your permis-
sion, ] will make this matter so
plain that "Wayfairing man
though he be fool, cannot err
therein" In the first place I will
give you the sections of law, requir-
ing statements concerning the var
ious funds, so that you ard your
readers may understand Just what
tie law requires me to publish, in
the financial statement referred to.
After section 1886, Revised statutes
OF 1883, prescribes the duties of the
County court at the regular spring
term thereof in relation to the six
taenth section school fund. Section
alS7 reads as follows to-wit:
"And the said court shall at the same time
make out statement of the amount of the
! debt due by their counties and detailed ac-
count OF the receipts and expenditures of the
same for the preceding year showing from
what officer and on what account any money
has been received, and to what individuals
ant on what account any money has been
paid and shall Strike the balance showing
ne deficit, i any, or the balance in the treas
Try, if any,"
Section 1888 requires the facts
thus ascertained, and the accounts
and statements thus made out, to be
recorded in the records of the court
and published: and this is what was
done in my statement of March
1894, published in the MarbleHill
PRESS Of June 21, 1894. Section
SO69, Revised Statutes 1889, reads
as follows to-wit:
"The clerk Of each and every coanty court
shall, on or before the 3ist day of July an
I,ually make out and transmit to the State
Superintendent of Public Schools at Jefferson
City an abstract of all the returns OF school
districts, cities and towns in his county made
to him according 10 the form that may be
prescribed by the State Superintendent: also
the amount OF income Of the school funds of
sa,d county and the amount realized from
tax es collected therein"
The several District Clerks are
rec pired to make report to the
County School Commissioner, and
from such reports he is also requir.

In your issue of July 19, 1894, ]
see upon the subject Of County

County Taxes. State tax

Road tax, s2066.67; Special Inter
est tax, S22l7.3S; School tax, $S141.-

Press report of total collections
for fiscal year ending March 9, 1894,
in the issue of April 26. The GER
tilted statement ofthe county clerk,
made the tax collected for county
road and interest purposes Sl3,34S.
20. The state and school tax as re-
ported in tie PREss totals Sl3,772
65. The difference Between this
and the total collections is sl3, BOO

tax. Mr.. Wells statement is Sl3,-
34S.SO. The difference is only
S47.S1. The clerks statement
showing that much more collected
than this paper stated.-Marbfe
Hill PRESS, July 5, 1894.
Now do the taxpayers of the
county see that there was collected
in the county last year o total OF
S27,121.35; from the county clerks
statement it would appear that all
the money collected from the coun
ty would only be S15,34S.70, as per
+. M. Wells certified statement
March 9, 1894, as shown by this
statement published in the Marble
Hill PREss Of June I'll, 1894. 1t
will be seen that the state tax is
s5eS1 60 and the school tax is sSl4l.'

fails to report in the total collec-
tions but tits all collected from the

to know how much taxes they are

ed to make report to the State Sup
erintendant of Public Schools with
which the report Of the county
clerk must agree.
Section 1886 reads as follows to-
wit:
every county collector and ex-oficio
county collector. except in the city Of St.
Louis shall, on or before the 9Th day of each
month, file with the county clerk detailed
statement, verified by affidavit of all state,
county. school, road and municipal taxes, and
of all liscences by him collected during the
preceding month and shall on or before the
I5thday of the month pay the same, Jess his
commission, into the state and county treas
ures, respectively.
tits the duty of the county clerk, and he is
hereby required to forward Immediately a
! certified copy of such detailed statement to
the State Auditor, who shall keep ar account
of the State taxes with the collector"
From the foregoing sections, it
will be seen that it is not necessary
nor even possible for the clerk to
publish statement of the expendi-
lures of the state or school taxes;
for the one is paid out by the State
Treasurer upon the warrant of the
State Auditor and the other, is dis
bursed by the several school boards
of school directors over whom the
clerk has no control whatever.
1t is true that the total amount
of moneys collected for the year
ending March 1894 is S27,119.72

USE SNOW SHOVELS.
FAYETTEVILLE CITIZENS HAVE
AN UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE.
A Severe Hail Storm in Southern Wis
consin Does Much Damag e-Fields
Are Devasta ted.

Platteyille, Wis. Sept. 10.-Never has
Platteville been visited by such a Sc
we're hail storm as the one which
struck the city about o'clock yeSter-
day afternoon. Hail as large as wal
nuts fell for about an hour, breaking
window panes, completely demolish-
ing Sky-lightS and leaving orchards
and corn field devastated as though a
cyclone had struck them. A peculiar
feature of the storm was its narrow
limit. Towns within five miles of here
got a little rain, but no hail at all.
For two hours after the storm Platte
vile looked to be in winter dress and
citizens were using snoW-shovels to
clear the sidewalks. Hail fell to the
depth of two inches.
A severe wind and considerable rain
accompanied the hail, washing out two
bridges and setting afoat an ice house
at the PlattevilIe brewery. The dam
age to window lights will reach hun
dreds of dollars and the damage to
crops and orchards is unestimable
What little there was left of the corn
crop after the long drouth was COM
pletely destroyed. Muscoda and OAR
lington report a like storm. At Mus
coda two 15O-foot spans of the Wis
consin river bridge were blown off the
piers.

LONGING FOR QUIETUDE.
A ST. Louis Preachers Plan by Which
People Will Have Some Rest.

A judge in Topeka has restrained q
man from playing the organ more than
one hour day. Blessed are the
peacemakers. The musical public
will never know what suffering they
inf1ict upon their fellow creatures who
are not gifted with the deep sense of
harmony To live next door to an IN
conscious sinner who is making maiden
efforts to wiring music out of French
horn, or TO have the head of your
bed against a wall act as a sounding
board while an innocent maid in the
next house is tantalizing piano, seem
to create the crime of juSt1tiable pro-
family! The Topeka judge is Daniel
come to Judgment" says Rev. John
Snyder in the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. While he recognizes the neceS-
Sity for certain amount Of musical
practice, so that the blessing of music
shall not perish from the earth, just
as he would acknowledge the need of
a fixed amount of human suffering in
the training of BARRIERS and dentists.
yet he has equally measured the limits
of human endurance, and said to the
incipient yiolinist or budding organiSt,
Thus far shalt We come, and no far
Their" In all seriousness, [ think that
the perfection of civilization will be
reached when people shall learn the art
of living together without noise. This
is the problem that all great cities
must strive to solve. I would Danish
every bell from city steeples. Clocks
and watches have made them obsolete.
| would declare that every dog trOu-
bled with insomnia is an unendura bic
nuisance. I would eXterminate every
cat that uttered a musical note after
10 p. m. I would relegate to the sub
urbS every parrot that discussed his
family affairs before sunrise. The
nervous wear and tear of crowded city
life is hard enough to bear without
these preventable troubles. In the
ideal city all those amateur pianlstS,
violinists and French horn blowers,
who are preparing to trouble the future
generation, will be shut up in a sub
urban retreat, where they can only
make each other suffer. Brass bands
will be taxed to the point Of eXter-
minatton, and the only musicians per-
mitted within the city limits will be
those permanently afflicted people who
play those diminutive instruments on
the street corners, which can only be
heard in the dead waste and middle
of the night" on account of their con-
stitut1onal weakness. These instru-
ments should be encouraged. because
they feebly represent the form and ap-
pearance of music without the sub
stance thereof"
