In this line we are astonishing the
natives. That we will save you from
50 to S5 on a garment, you have but
to look to be convinced. We are GER
tain that we sold as many Garments
as nearly all the stores in this city
combined. Ask any one who wears a
New Garment where they secured it,
and we are confident, in the. majority
of cases, the reply will be at H.
Stein & Co.'S. 1t is our extreme low
prices that causes the immense jam
in our Cloak Department. All we ask
is to inspect our line, and, if you are
not convinced that you can save at
least from 50 to $5 on a Garment, then
we will not ask you to buy of us. We
also want you to compare the Gar
ments you may buy of US with those
Of all other stores; and, if you have
not saved at least 20 per cent, on your
purchase then return the -Garmnet and
we will refund the money.

While Anna Robinson. aged 81 years
was sleeping In her bed with two little
children nesting on her bosom her
crazy husband. James Robinson, cut
from the body. Then he drew the razor

who live in Philadelphia.
The beatings were resumed, and only
a few days ago Mrs. Robinson appealed
to Chief Burgess James Of Fieldsboro
for relief, but no action was taken
1t was clear that the woman had
made a desperate struggle for life. She
had apparently managed to get out Of
bed after the first attack. but growing
too weak for further resistance sank
to the floor, where the bloody work was
finished There were deep cuts on her
hands and breast, the two children were
covered with blood, and the floor itself
looked like a slaughter pen.

Wheeling, Aug. l0.-Matters have taxi
en- turn in the Wheeling district, and
the miners are feeling encouraged. A
small army of miners from Mounds
vile and Benwood gathered at the
works OF the Glendale company, eight
miles below the city, and soon Induced
the working miners at that plant to
come out to a man. Flushed with their
success at this point. the strikers, re-en-
forced by the Glendale men and by a
body Of strikers that had come across
the hills from Elm Grove, went to the
BOggs Run mines and camped out on
the hillside. AS the miners came out
from their work the strikers took them
in and secured their promise to remain
out OF the mines during the strike If all
the men employed by the Boggs Run
would make the same promise. The
army then disbanded. with instructions
10 assemble at the mouth of the Boggs
Run mines, when the other miners will
be seen and their promise TO stay out
secured. 1t Is anticipated that this ef-
fort to cause general suspension in
the Wheeling district will meet with
success. The men at the Wegee mines,
when interviewed by a committee, de-
clined to join the strike,

Another Word About A,,s,,nsnt,.

In AN editorial which recently appeared
in the PREss, relative to the present Iiits.
ner Of making the snnual assessments in
this and we suppose otlier counties in
Pennsylvania, there appears several points
which we have long since advocated Il
seems to us the method therein proposed
toward obtaining just and equitable ratio
OF assessment is the only one which would
or could bring about that result and we
believe the day Is near at hand when that
mode OF fixing the ratio will be uniformly
adopted. The precepts now. and for years
past instruct the assessors to place such
value upon property as they believe that
property would sell .or at cash sale, or
contain yerbiagc about to that effect: but
no assessor we know Of in this locality has
ever followed that prescribed method, and
we suppose every officer in that capacity
dislikes 10 make the innovation toward
bringing about such system of assess
ment OF course many taxpayers would
at first object to this method; but il the
commissioners lowered the rate Of taxation
In ratio with the rise in valuation given By
the sum total of assessment, they would nj
once perceive they We're no worse off than
now, and would have the satisfaction of "A
just valuation in proportion to that Of
their neighbors But this method would
have TO be adopted by every township in
the county and every county in the state
at the same time, or there would be no
justice in the matter And again, the
idea of putting true and full valuation
on all property and dividing the sum of
that valuation by n nominal figure as 3. I
or D. is a good one it seems TO us. provid
ing every assessor in the county uses the
| same divisor. In that case it would secure
a just and satisfactory assessment and we
believe would meet with the appreciation
Of the taxpayers.
There are only three grades of improved
land now apparent in the assessments of
the lower townships--fats, second grade,
and improved hill. All the improved
land ION the hill' is assessed at the uni
form valuation Of $40 per acre That. how
ever, is not the fault of the assessors-the
valuation being placed on il by other Off
cials prior, and in 1899 This state Of
| things, too, since we are briefly discussing
the matter is not just, improved land diff.
fers very much IN value according to its
quality and location Taking $40 as a
value for the best quality of improved
hill land and that being in desirable To-
cation-nearer market, etc, it would
seem that some of the more remote and in =
ferior quality of socalled improved should
be at much less value, and the most re-
mote and inferiorimproved at figure low
er still. Gould these desideratums be OBJ
tanned then much nearer approximation TO
a just assessment would be reached, and the
| assessors could then more conscientiously
certify to true assessment CITIZEN.
