Something TO Depend on.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug
firm of Jones & Son, Cowden,
ILL.,, in speaking of DR.. Kings
New Discovery, says that last
winter his wife was attacked
with La grippe, and her case grew
SO serious that physicians at Cow
den and Pana could do nothing
for her. 1t seemed to develop
into hasty consumption. Having
DR.. Kings New Discovery in
store, and selling lots Of it, he
took bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to get
better from first dose, and half
dozen dollar bottles cured her
sound and well. DR.. Kings New
Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds is guaranteed to
do this good work. Try it. Free
trial bottles at drug store. F. G..

members of the present board of
commissioners and deemed them
the equal of any that had ever
been seated for Marion county.
That the board was over and.
above the county executive COM
mittee in authority and the board
were the servants of the people
of Marion county irrespective of
political affiliations, notwith-
standing Mr.. Harris to the con-
trary, the action of said commit
tee had nothing to do to regulate
the action of the board. He said
if you recommend another paper
than the Evening Star to publish
tax list, you invite a law suit, its
attendant costs and prejudice the
tax list.
In answer to commissioner Nc
Leod's question, "Would you op-
press the tax payers by closing
down now?" Mr.. z. said: cit is
not matter of oppression but a
question of law, it was beyond
the jurisdiction of the commits
sioners, it was with the state
comptroller and county tax col
lector," closing by reading the
law to them.
A lull followed when county at
torney Burford's opinion, which
was asked for, came, which said
a warrant had to be issued to the
collector, for without it he had
no authority to collect taxes, and
if not issued the collector could
not enforce collections.
The board unanimously passed
on this warrant and requested
the tax collector to attach said
warrant to his tax book.
Routine work occupied the
time of commissioners until after
three o'clock when Mcleod
moved the reconsideration of vote
on tax collectors warrant, OBJ
jecting to words: GAS Of the 18th
day of January, 1897, the same
being issued now for then" He
did not propose to go back and
try to cover up or attempt to le-
galize any oversight or error of
the old board, wanted to "begin
now and let the past co. Much
discussion followed. Mr.. Albert
Wright presented several lazy
points and said Judge Hooker
had advised collector Pooser to
get this warrant to legalize his
work. Then appeared Mr.. Har-
ris, who said R. L. Anderson,
esq, would speak for the Banner
and Free Press, who, in sub
stance, said commissioners had
no right to use the expression,
"On July 9Th, 1897, as # Janu-
18th, 1897" could not make it
retroactive; but only act from the
present, hence strike out words
Gas of January Is, 1897" said if
Pooser did not close tax books
until September and then publish
list, all would be valid; said board
could not extend the time; board
could not say taxes were delin-
quent until books are closed, list
prepared; the old board exceeded
their authority in naming pa
per and could not so name until
the books were declared closed.
Mr.. Wright replied according to
law there was a delinquent list
April /, 1897, and as the law said
accounts must be closed July /,
1897, the old board had authority
to name a paper.
Mcleod and Allen spoke and
Mr.. Burford was again called on
for an opinion, confirming that
spoken in the morning. After
much speaking a vote was taken,
the resolution and wal rant as
passed in the morning was recon
sidered. Vote was a tie, when
chairman Carney's vote recon.

. Massage From Her After Near

,uf FOuNOERED WITH ALL ON BOARD.
| Bottle with a Message From Capt.
Mckay, After Years of Buffeting,
Picked Up on the Shore of
Lake Superior.

BAYFIELD,, Wis, May 2O.-Five miles
south of this harbor, half imbedded in
#the sand on the beach, James Taggart,
lumberman, discovered the first mes
xape from the 40 persons who persisted
&;n the wreck of the steamer Manistee
NEARLY fourteen years ago. 1t was q
note. carefully inclosed in a heavy
GLASS bottle. The writing had faded
with the lapse of years, and the glass
#of the bottle was worn thin with its
constant beating against the sandy
<shores of Chequamagon bay. The mes
sage on the note was as follows:
November 1883
Left Bayfield, at 1:1O p. IN. just in sight Of
/ Michigan lighthouse We can not survive the
storm Heavily laden and hard to turn in tn,
storm. CAPT MCKAY,
Steamer Manistee
most illegible. There is general i'm
preston in this town that the message
4 is genuine. The action of the sand and
waves on the bottle shows that it has
been tossed around the beach for long
time. The faded writing also proves
Econclusively that the note was not
written a few weeks or months ago
for the purpose of a hoax.
The Manistee was wooden steam.
/ er, and was owned by the Lake Mich.
igan & Lake Superior line, and traded
between Chicago and Duluth. On the
night she went down she was on the
way from bayfield, to Ontonagon, on
her trip to Chicago. 1t was to have
been the last trip of the season. and il
was late in November. A north gale
set in shortly after the steamer left
port and the weather was bitterly cold,
the thermometer registering near the
zero mark.
q The fate of the Manistee was never
known. The steamer City of Duluth,
of the same line, left bayfield, Just
ahead of the lost ship, and for long
tine that night saw her lights. When
last seen she was clear of the group oil
islands at the mouth of the bay, known
as the Apostles" When the nonap-
pearance of the Manistee made the Off
Gals of the line anxious, searching
expedition was fitted out The only
result of this was the finding of some
wreckage from the lost boat. Out oil
the 40 persons on board when she went
down, no one was left to tell how the
steamer sank, nor were any bodies
washed ashore.
With the exception of the floating
wreckage nothing was ever found from
the missing steamer until the bottle
was found. A belief has been general
that the machinery of the steamer gave
out that night in the gale, and the
spray had frozen over the falls to the
life boats so that it was impossible to
lower them to save the crew. This is
further strengthened by the fact that
the City of Duluth went through the
the gale all right. The cargo of the
Manistee was largely mill stuffs, and
therefore she could not have been over
deep in the water.

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
1t Would Appear to Have Been Overdone
In Europe.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Again the
beet sugar industry is facing crisis,
in spite of various ingenious and com
pick legislative remedies that have
been applied. From several of the
United States consular officers. Mann,
at Frankfort; Muth, at Madgeburg,
and Morris, at Client, reports have
come to the state department descrip-
tive of the evil conditions that exist in
the sugar industry.
Consul Muth says the last sugar law
OF May 10, 1896, has been disappointing
In its effects. Prices have declined
even in the face of a largely-increased
demand from the United States.
Consul Mann says the law has act
ually increased the beet acreage which
was already at its extreme point of safe
expansion.
Consul Morris transmits copy of a
most urgent and desperate plea for
help of the Belgian sugar makers, and
each and all says the prospect is full of
gloom.
