Attention Taxpayers.

In its issue of Oct. 25th. 1894, the
St. Louis Independent calls attention to
the tax levy of 1891 and compares it
with subsequent years and tries to con-
vey the idea that it costs the tax payers
of Gratiot county more under republic
can rule than under populist and dem
ocratic rule.
Now what are the facts rs shown by
the records? In 1890, the board con-
sisted of eleven populists and democrats
and six republicans, and the balance OF
money in the hands of the county treas
urer, Oct 1st, 1890 was 49,. 4,324.2O
County tax levy of 1850 lit 90
A total working capital of 45,324.2O
Total expense Of county from
Oct. /, go to Oct. /, 81 was 20,710.73
Balance on hand Oct. /, 81 24,613.57
In 1891 the board consisted of twelve
populists and democrats and six repub-
licans. Balance in county treasury,
Oct. /, 1891, was. ........S24, 619 81
County tax levy for1S91, was $4,000
Making a working capital of 33,913.57
Total expense of county from
Oct. /, 81 TO Oct. /, 80 was 1S,556.31
Leaving balance in treasury 14,757.16
Thus, this (economic?) board, who
could control the finances of this county
by majority vote, reduced, in just two
years. the surplus in the treasury, from
SS4,924.2O to $14.75716, or a total re-
duction of $19,567.04. In other words,
they spent almost $4,000 more than
What they raised by taxation. The
Tpopulist organ claims that it cost just
IS, 700 to pay the running expenses of
the county in 1891, while the records
show that it cost S1S,556,31, almost
$4,000 more than what he claimed.

Notice From Board 70 Health

M1LBANK, S. D., pril a, 1894.
To THE PUBLIC:
The Board OF Health at this time just
entering upon its duties. deem it advise
able to make few suggestions coDcern-
ing the sanitary condition OF the city.
As you all know we are at present hAv-
ing q serious time with Scaratina.
Many deaths have occurred and nc
doubt many more will occur ii some
thing is not done to prevent the futher
spread Of the disease.
We are sorry to be compelled to give
anyone, and especially afflicted ones,
pain in the discharge of our dntles, but
for the sake Of those who have not yet
had the disease in their families, and 70,
the general welfare OF the community al
large, We find it imperative upon Us to
give some orders, which We will see are
carried out in strict accordance with the
city ordinance.
1st. All those who have the disease
or have had it in their families during
the past six weeks must remain strictly
quarantined, not only in having a card
on their residence, but also in refraining
from leaving their homes, or in case Of
merchants and others having business to
attend TO, they may leave their residence
entirely, and not visit it again till quaran-
tine is over and the house has been
disintected, and everything that has
come in contact with the patient. A
man will be appointed by the Board to
attend to the fasailies SO 4uarantined, 20
see that they have all necessaries of
life.
End. No public funeral will be per-
mit!ed 70 take place over the body OF any
person who has died Of any infectious
disease
3rd. All manure heaps, cess pools,
and all back alleys and all decaying
vegetable matter must be removed before
the 18th OF May next. II this is not
done the Board OF Health will be com
PEELED to cause it's removal as provided
in Sec. 7 ordinance 8, we would also sug-
gest that those who through kindness
60 into the afflicted families to give them
assistance, take every precaution to
change their clothing and thoroughly
wash and disinfect every part of the body
including the hair aud beard, before
again entering any other house where
the disease is not or has not been. II
We find anyone neglecting such measures
We will be compelled to prohibit them
from visiting such sick families.
The Board OF Health desires the CO.
operation Of the public in this matter,
and unless we receive your assistance
we can never hope to rid the city OF
this disease. We would also sugapst
that the citizens use chloride Of lime IN
their vaults.

We are often told that this Is selfish
world and that the American people are
peculiarly selfish people, intent only on
material success. That this is not so has
been shown time and again when calam-
ties have come upon communities and
cities, such as the Johnstown food, the
yellow fever epidemics OF the south, and
the great confagrations that swept over
Chicago and Boston, when the hands of
helptulness were SO universally and gen
erously extended to the stricken people
In the recent affiiction that has been
lowering over our own community and
desolating bones, this spirit of sympathy
and love, shown IN SO many ways, has
been still more nearly and torcibly pre-
sented, and has done much to soften the
affiiction of the bereaved in their trouble
and sorrow. Truly the spirit of Hin. who
went about doing good is abroad in the
hearts of the people, teaching the great
lessons of brotherhood and fellowship
We are indeed the offspring Of common
parent, and the heartbeats OF sympathy
that have been so universally throbbing
and the helpful selt-sacritice that has
been exhibited by NOBLE women in the
tender care of the afflicted little ones
has been one OF the precious experiences
Of those who have suffered. Surely He
that said ''inasmuch as ye have done II
unto the least of these ys have done
it unto me-" will not let these labore O
love go unrecorded nor unrewarded.

Jemersonyille, Ind, Feb. 1J.-James
E. Stone died for his crime
on the gallows in the prison
here at 12:0S this morning. The
sextuple murderer kept up an air OF
bravado until the last moment.
His spiritual adviser attempted to
bring him to a realization Of his near
approach to judgment out, IN the
language of the warden. he tried to
the last to bluff God Almighty and
everybody else
Stone walked to the gallows without
a tremor and met his doom without
a word of excuse for his horrible crime
His neck was broken by the fall and
there was no movement Of the body
after he passed through the trap.
The crime for which J. Z. or Bud
Stone, was convicted was the pecu-
uarly atrocious and bloody murder Of
Mrs. Elizabeth Wrdtteu her son Deni-
son Wruttcn aud his wife ana three
children, at Washington, Ind" last
