NOTHING ever surprises the fatalist.
If house fall on a man, if he walks
off the dock, if he be shot as one of the
innocent lockers on. If he be wiped

balloon or encounters hard luck in
any of it's numberless forms, the fatal
list disposes of the matter by saying
that it was to be. Without attempt
ing to affirm or refute the doctrine, we
raise the question as to whether an
action that occurred in St. Paul the
other day had been foreordained since
the beginning of time. One of the

Railroad Company Declines to Pay
Taxes

Receiver Burleigh recently filed a
suit in the circuit court against the
county 0. Chehalis, asking to have the
sale of 8 1000 acres of land for delinquent
taxes set aside. The bill alleges that
the company cannot be assessed for
taxes on land not yet patented to it by
the government. Under a recent de-

which the land named in the complaint
was sold were assessed in 1891. The
company claims that as long as the
land cannot be patented to it, it should
not be required to pay taxes on it.

she attempted to make a street-crossing
horny-handed son of an outlying town
ship, with the rim of his hat flying
over the crown, his eyes set and his
arms straight out from the shoulder,
was trying to hold up a 2 40 racker
that was covering most of the street.
He let out calliope yawp as he saw
the young lady, but as she turned to
escape the thill of the cutter went
through her leg of mutton sleeves like
a bayonet, and she was an involuntary
part of the flying procession. For a
whole block the farmer was saving on
