COUNTY TICKET.
The Men for Whom You should Cast Your
Ballot
0DN RAIDEN.


Mr.. Halden has occupied the Office
Of county auditor for two years and is
a candidate for reelection. His per-
sonal gentlemanly character and his
faithful discharge Of the duties in
VOWED in the Office have endeared him
to the voters Of the county.
He received the Republican nomin-
alton for county auditor in 1894
against several prominent and popular
opponents. He was triumphantly
elected by an Overwhelming majority,
and Jan. l, 1895, he entered upon the
duties OF his Office. He has instituted
a number OF reforms in his Office and
s.-7-1a=.a-azas=l farisaxsiIatr
about methods OF taxation aud re-
forms by which be has added over
S225. 600 TO the county treasury. One
reform which added largely TO the
revenue Was getting access by the
auditor 10 the books of the land Office
This resulted in locating and placing
on the tax rolls much land which has
been quietly enjoying immunity from
taxation This item was large in the
1895 tax, but il viii show up still
heavier in the 1896 tax.
Another item which brought in
s50,o9e alone was the placing upon the
tax rolls Of many buildings located
upon railroad rights-of-way. These
buildings. being on lands not taxable
by the county, had hitherto escaped
taxation.
Since Mr.. Halden came into Office
the water frontage from Oneota TO
Spirit lake has been surveyed. plated
and placed upon the assessment rolls.
This item includes some of the most
valuable property in the city
An item which has added over half
a million of dollars to the assessment
rolls is the taxation Of franchises,
first made last year, and for this Mr..
Halden deserves particular credit.
These franchises had for years been
bringing III money to their possessors,
but up to Mr. Halden's time no one
had dreamed Of putting them on the
assessment rolls.
Since Mr.. Halden took charge Of
the auditors Office he has placed upon
the tax rolls acres upon acres of lands
which had been returning no revenue
to the county because they were held
under leases from the state. The
great iron mines have been taxed as
they should be. in the same manner
that other valuable properties are
taxed. and this has made an increase
of millions of dollars in the taxable
valuation of the county. The result
OF this has been TO increase the yalua-
tion of the county outside the city
Sc. zoe, eo9, while the city has been
decreased SI1 900. 900.
All the stumpage on which taxes
were due since 1887 has been entered
on the judgement rolls The property
has been sold and the money collected
and this has added s. 1000 to the
county revenue. None of this stuff,
though due, was entered ia judgment
before Mr.. Halden entered it.

located IN unorgaaizad townships,

The Way in Which His Doomed Pet
Flaggcd a Freight Train.
From the Topeka Capital.
Ex-Governor John p. st. John told
a story at the Hamilton hall meeting
Friday night. 1t brought out good
laugh.
The ex-governor said he once knew
an Irishman who owned a red flannel
shirt which. for some unknown reason,
he valued very highly. The Irishman
also owned a goat.
One day Pat came home and found his
shirt missing.
Where Is me red shirt?" he asked.
1.-The goat ate it," said his wife.
"I'll kill that goat" said Pat, running
for an axe.
"Oh. don't kill it wild an axe" cried
his wife. II don't want to see the poor
crature killed. If you must butcher it.,
tie the poor thing on the railroad track
and let the engine strike It,"
SO pat got a rope, tied 1t about the
goats neck and led the animal to the
track. Then he tied 1t fast 50 there
could be no escape.
A freight train came laundering
along. Pat turned his face away, and
never expected to see the goat alive
again. But to his amaZement the train
came to stop a few feet from the
goat.
A few moments after Pat reached
the house, leading the same goat by the
same rope.
mot dead YETI" cried Pats wife.
Not dead yet" replied Pat, evidently
in a very bad humor.
What was the trouble?"
"Why, the dumb goat coughed up my
red flannel shirt and tagged the train"

BASE BALL GOSSIP.

1t Is about settled that Sunday ball
will be played not in but near Syracuse
next year.
1t is certain that the Scranton owners
Sunday games by the team at home and
abroad.
Tom Murray, the short stop who was
tried by the Philadelphas In one game
last year, may get a chance to show his
speed with the Jersey City team.
Jahn Horner, the Oriole pitcher signed
by scranton. is clerking this winter In the
Hotel Marion, In Atlanta, His habits are
good and he practices daily. Horner Is
one OF the best looking players in the busi-
ness. He has a lady-killng moustache,
but what is better he can pitch.
The Scranton makeup is as follows to
date: Catchers, Jack Hess and Edward
Dick Brown. Jack Horner, John Cronin,
Ed. Herr, George Gets, Dan Mullarkey :
second base, piggy" Ward; third base,
James Maguire; short stop, William Hell
field. Pat Meaney and f. L. Bradley; ex-
ira player. Ed. Sweeney.
The Buffalo Express says: While the
other members of the Eastern league are
hustling around for players to strengthen
the weak points in their respective teams,
isiied that 1t has winning ma-
terial in the men already signed. This
may be true but other clubs are not taxi
ing any chances as Buffalo does, and Man
ager Rowe may wake up when it is too
late to find that he has miscalculated on
the quality OF ball that Is to be played In
the Eastern league this season.
Scranton has signed seven pitchers, two
catchers, three infielders. four outfielders
and one utility man. a total of seventeen
players. The only position vacant is first
base, and this does not present a hopeless
proposition. The National league season
will open about a month before that of the
Eastern. and it Is not improbable that
some of the big leagues numerous tim
ber will be cast adrift. This IL. indeed,
sure to happen as each club will begin
with from twenty-five to thirty-five men.
Then will be Scranton's opportunity to
secure a. first baseman-if one Is not
meanwhile obtained. The rumor that
Carey. to be released by Baltimore. will
be signed is Incorrect.
