Please give me space in your pape
10 record my protest against repeating
the law to regulate the sale anC
redemption of real estate undeI
execution, as passed by the Legislature
OF 1893. The Governor says that il
doubtless was the purpose and desire
OF the trainers Of this act to furnish
relief 10 those who had mortgaged
their homes and were unable to meet
their obligations.
II the act is not doing what it was
intended to do, why are the banker:
so bitterly opposed to it? The gov.
ernor adds that the law has had
directly the opposite effect. He
believes the theory pernicious one.
In plain words, he means that those
unfortunate farmers, who were unable
to meet their obligations, are not
honest men, but regulators.
His excellency advises our legisla.

confidence to eastern bankers, and
that our legislator at the same time
should see to it, that the proceed.

Letter From Senator Eornev,

A Letter From Senator FOrney.
EDITOR NAIL: | am very glad to
notice that you concur with me in
the idea Of a county assessor. This, |
might say, is pet measure of mine.
For years past l have realized the in
justice Of our present assessment law
and The unjust appraisement under it.
The law requires that the property be
assessed at its true value in money:
there being 20 penalty for violation
Of the same, it is evaded and we have
as many different appraised values as
we have number of assessors, and l
see by your article or comments that
you are on to the inequality of the
present mode Of assessment.
The provisions of Senate Bill No.
2S6, known as the county assessor bill,
that the county assessor shall be
e scted by the people an that the
township trustees be ex-oficio town.
ship assessors under the management
and control of the county assessor.
The bill provides heavy penalty for
the diSObeyiug of the law by under ap-
praisement. 1t provides that all
property shall be assessed at its true
value in money and also, as said be-
fore, provides a penalty for doing
otherwise.
have taken a great deal Of pains
and trouble and l believe it will prove
great benefit to the state and estab-
fish an equal assessment that ought
to have been done years ago. A petit
ton signed by the people of the
county urging the passage of Senate
Bill No 236 might do some good.
Ihave also general bill No. PIG, pro-
viding for the vacation of streets.

ing of corporate boundaries of cities,

fer the owners of implanted farm
lands to get out Of the incorporated
cities. The wonderful number of

ers a court, as it were, and my bill
gives the county commissioners the
same power to let a fellow loose, if he
wants loose, and has just cause. 1t
protects the cities from what might
bea wrong or injustice which may be
accomplished up here and the cities
have nothing to say. These special
acts can do great injustice to Oul
cities, because the cities cannot show
any defense and are pOwerleSS.
think this act No. PIG should demand
the attention of the various cities OF
our state.
We have elected, through our
Republican members a United
States senator and now that this
bitter fight is over we will settle
down to work and expect to accom-
plish a great deal of good. Every.
thing is running along smoothly and
all is being done in good order
Hoping to hear from you, l remain

for Jerry D0uEherty's Death.

for Jerry Dougherty's Death.
Coroner Hammett held an inuust at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon in the merry
so-round homicide case. and the witnesses
who told the jury of how John A culp had
kicked the boy Jeremiah Dougherty, re-
peated the account of the affair that was
Printed in yesterdays Star. The only new
feature of the case was the result of the
autopsy made by Deputy Coroner Glaze
brook. This show ed that the kicks must
have been given with considerable force,
for the little boys abdomen, lungs and
kidneys were in a frightful condition. and
either injury would have resulted fatally
DR.. Glazebrook told of the emaciated con-
dition of the boys body, and was certain
that his sufferings We're intense.
Three boys. one of them brother of the
deceased. related the story Of the affair at
tie gate of the ''merrygo-round.'
Harry Roach, fourth boy who had also
witnessed the affair. but did not know
him. and that Dougherty received the blows
intended for him. Mr. Culp, he said, want
ed ! i'm to say SO.
Lawyer Shillington was present to look
after the interests of the prisoner, and he
advised Culp not to make statement.
The jury returned a verdict as follows:
1--WE, the Jury, believe, from the evidence,
tfat jeremiah Dougherty came to his
death October 10, from an injury inflicted
by a kick or kicks from John A. Culp. on
the night of September II, 1895. and we fur
ther believe. from the evidence, that said
john A. Culp is responsible for the death
of said jeremiah Dougherty, but without
n alice or intention to do serious bodily
harm.'
This verdict. it is thought. will at least
have the effect of reducing the alleged
offense to manslaughter. AS the verdict
held the defendant responsible for the
killing, he was committed to Jail.
