The Lesson of Two Towns.

Three years ago the town of Bethel
yawned, stretched and woke up.
Business men had become tired OF
seeing the same names entered in their
ledgers year after year,with only such
changes as death and time brought
about.
They longed for new fields 10 con-
quer.
So they put their heads and their
hands and their spare shillings
together and built a s25, 900 shoe fac
tory.
That was three years ago.
To-day Bethel has a shoe factory Of
which any town might well be proud.
One hundred and fifty hands are en-
ployed at good wages. The pay roll
amounts TO 81 200 a week.
Nor is this all.
The large tannery plant of 6. Il +.
G.. Place has just been increased by
the addition Of a finishing building
l20x40, which will double the force at
the shop, making l25 hands in all.
This addition was made by the aid Of
s. 900 subscribed in Bethel.
The business of Bethel has more
than doubled in two years. The great
trouble now is to find suitable sites for
the many new business blocks and
dwellings projected.
Turn to another town.
Five years ago the name Of North
field was synonym for death.
The inhabitants walked the streets
with a detected air as if en- route to
the cemctery-that is, some of them
did.
A few decided TO do something, il
possible, to revive the place.
A committee went to St. Albans
and secured from the railroad author
ities low freight rate for granite
brought from Barre.
A firm of granite dealers, being ap-
prised of this, offered to come TO
Mortified if sheds, derrick and a spur
track were provided for them.
Ii was done.
From a small beginning, the gram
itc business in NorthfeId has already
grown until 100 hands are employed
and it is still growing.
Then the corn factory came. But
ii didn't alight at Northfield without
effort on the part Of her citizens. They
had to go trapping for il in dead ear
nest.
But they got it and are tickled to
death over it. The farmers especially
are pleased.
In fact, Northfeld has taken brace
and stands to-dayson different plane
than il occupied five years ago.

Election Contests.

The institution Of contest nv Sam
Some against Charles Williams, the
Republican sheriff elected November
9th, has resulted in the bringing of
two additional contested election
cases in the Circuit court. The first
being the contest on the office OF
treasurer, to which Mr.. Zuber, the
Democratic nominee, was elected Ivy
a majority Of "a, and Mr.. Lurkctt,
who was elected pro. eeutinp at,or.
ncy on the Democratic ticket by n
majority of 80. A contest will also
follow in the case Ut Enloe VS.. Short
in he legislature.
These contests would not have
been brought had not Mr.. Some in.
stiyutcd the II against Williams.
The Republicans have no desire
whatever TO gain an office through
a contest. That fact is well estab.
lished by Il record Of over toity
years, in which no election contest
has taken place in Cole county, Four
years ago Mr.. Grimshaw was beaten
by only six votes, and no contest
took place. In the case of the jus.
tees Of the peace, Squire Payne
was defeated by only one vote, and
no contest took place. Several years
agD Mr.. Jens was defeated for the
city council by one vote, and no con.
test took place. Two years ago Mr..
BuschiOst was defeated by only l6
votes, and no contest took place.
All of which goes to show that the
Republicans are willing and ready to
stand by the official count, let the
result be what it may. But when
Democratic candidates, who have
been defeated fairly, step into the
arena and make a prctense that they
have been counted out of Office by
election judges, the Republicans
| feel that il is time for them to take
a hand in the fight. This conclusion
was arrived at the middle of last
week by the county committee, who
ordered the institution of these suits,
all of which will be pushed. II can
be safely demonstrated that there
were at least 30 illegal votes cast in
jefferson City alone. Ihi. OF itself

The INCOME Lax.

The revenue of the national gov
eIument is to be increased by the
proceeds Of II tax upon incomes.
The new tariff bill imposes this tax
upon the incomes that accrue during
the present calendar year, and dur
ing each succeeding year, including
1899. But unless the lsw is extended
no tax will be levied on incomes re-
ccived during the year 1900, or
thereafter.
The tax is two per cent. !; and it is
to faI! on all personal incomes cX-
ceeding four thousand dollars. That
is to say, the man whose income is
five thousand dollars will pay a tax
Of twenty collars the receiver Of
an income of ten thousand dollars
will pay one hundred and twenty
dollars.
y tax Of two per cent. is laid also
on the net profits Of all corporations
organized for business or profit.
There is for them no exemption of
four thousand dollars or of any other
sum hut no tax is to be paid by
charitable, educational or religious
corporations, or savings banks which
give all their profits to depositors.
Every person having an income Of
at least three thousand five huLdred
dollars is required 10 make a return
annually to the collector OF the rev
cnue. Every corporation, whatever
it, income, is required to make a re-
turn. The collector may, even il a
return is made under oath, refuse TO
accept il AS true.
In that case he himself fixes the
amount Of income, and adds fifty
per cent. to the tax. If he thinks
the ieturn Is wilfully aud fraudu-
len,ly false, he adds one hundred
per cent. The collectors opinion
determines how much the tax shall
