HIS FARM WASHING AWAY.


The State Tax Board spent most Of yes
terday in considering county real-estate as
sessments. There have been reports made
by eighty-five Of the counties, and they con-
tinue to show a great variation from the
last appraisement, which it is the intention
Of the board to correct. The appeal OF the
Wabash Gas Company was heard yesterday
morning. The company objected to the rate
placed on its mains by the County Board
OF Review. Thomas A. Peden, a farmer,
living near Spencer. asked that his acreage
be reduced 50 as not to tax him for land
that had been washed away by White river.
He claims that since he bought a farm In
White-river bottom, fourteen years ago, for
ty-five acres OF ii nave been washed away
by the river. and that the county board has
refused to reduce the acreage more than
nine acres.

They are quite new, having just ar

usual appearance in the early spring
by appearing in them. They preclude

their color is of the brightest (Scotch

women spent hundred dollars years

COL. COLT SUSTAINED.
GOV. Mckinley Strongly De-
nOunces Lynchimg.

COLUMBUS, O., March 9.-The Ohio
national guard military commission,
appointed by Gov. Mckinley to inquire
into the shooting of certain citizens at
Washington Court House by Ohio
troops under command of Col. AlonZo
B. Colt, while defending a negro pris-
oner from being lynched sustains Colt.
The governor, in his Endorsement of the
finding of the court of inquiry
says: The crime rape) was re-
Volting in the extreme and Nor
iteefy as it received, the Condemnation
of the court, the law! and all good
citizens. The crime, however, horrible
as it was, was no justification for the
acts of lawlessness which were perpe-
trated by those who in passion sought
to add to one crime still another and
whose plain duty as citizens was to
preserve, not to break the peace of the
country"
The governor then outlines the affair
at Washington Court House, Oct. II, in
which the prisoner was being taken
from the jail to the court room to enter
a plea of guilty when the mob inter-
fered. Having reached the court room
with the prisoner, and he having been
sentenced to- twenty years, the full eX-
tent of the law, the officers and mill
tary remained there, besieged by the
mob until the shooting followed, on ac-.
count of the mob attempting to break
into the prison. THE unlawful assem-
blage," says the governor neither
needed the warnings of the officers
nor of the citizens, which were repeat
edly given. Under this grave provoca-
ton, continues the governor, "Co1.
Colt and his command behaved with
rare prudence and forbearance."
1t is further stated by the governor
that the troops were present at the re-
quest of the sheriff, and it was clearly
the duty of the sheriff and the troops
to protect the prisoner "The law
says the governor, was upheld as it
should be, and, as 1 believe, always
will be in Ohio, but in this case at
fearful cost. Lynching," says the gov
ernor, cannot be tolerated in Ohio.
The law of the state must be supreme
over all, and the agents of the law.

a strong testimonial to the prudence
and judgment of Col. Colt and his men.

sensible, nor do women ever walk
gracefully with heels over an inch
and half in height at the most.
Something else, too, about heels is
worth mention. For years any
woman who wore Louis Quinze heels
on her street boots was regarded as
vulgar. Nearly all the spring
models for fine street boots have
heels from an inch and a half to two
inches in height, and most of them
are so concave that they run almost
to the middle of the foot.
In the matter Of laced boots there
has been a prejudice that they We're

son. Many of the russet outing boots

combination of patent leather with

Just how many shoes a woman needs

knows that to keep pair of shoes in

days in succession.
AT this season of the year the
smart woman wears a heavy calf
SKIN boot with thick soles and stout
military heels on the street. Whether
they are laced or buttoned is a matter
OF individual taste. MANY of the

NEW YORK, March 6.-It is never
Ilatterlng to beauties of the day to
look at pictures of themselves taken
many years back. Perhaps it is the
change in the fashions or the style
OF wearing the hair, but whatever
1t is the beautiful does not like to
see herself presented to the public
attlred in the style of a decade or
two ago. With men it doesn't make
much difference if they don't appear
in clothes quite up to date.
Many of the portraits produced

time bookseller and lover of the
stage. He was the friend of Char
lottes Cushman and knew Edwin
