What Is the Remedy

Ono OF our largest tax payers complains
bitterly Of the high tar rate which makes
bis taxes amount to quite snug sum
yearly. He says have had several largo
and commodious houses Idle for over two
years and have been taxed out of all pro
portion for them He considers it hard
ship that tho tax rate cannot be lowered
instead Of raised. He thought the Street
And Sewer Commissioners were expanding
entirely too much money for Improvements
that require large outlay and will have
70 DO paid for by the property owners. He
thought our city fathers should b. more
economical and do away with numerous
city Offices, and thereby effect u saving OF
several thousand dollars u year. Then he
thought the prisoners should be taken by
the city In their patrol wagon and tho
money saved to the county for taking them
over in tho trolley cars. That the prison.
ers now confined in New Castle Jail should
be made to break stone Oh the public rouds
instead Of the fares Of breaking stone on
Judge Balls stone pile. There is not al

lie scene Of the robbery. arriving some

the scene of the robbery. arriving some
time after dark.
A remarkable incident occurred during
the trial of Rigley and Wilson. showing the
keen intellect of the old Bohemian with
whom. the robbers had stopped the night
years old. and when he took the stand was
barely able to walk up through the aisle
with the aid of a heavy cane. His body
was bent and his hair was white. Every
witness. both for the state and defense. had
previously been excluded from the court
room. The state relied on the old man to
complete its Identification of the robbers
the suggestion of the lawyers for the de-
tense. the defendants slipped out from their
accustomed places in the courtroom and
deposited themselves in separate places
among the spectators. When asked If he
could identify the men who had stopped
with him the night before the robbery at
Ohiowa. the old Bohemian shook his head
and said:
Il don't believe I can. 1t was after dark
when they came that night and after dark
when they left and as my sight is poor I
may not be able to know them again"
He was told to pass: through the crowd.
however. and have a look a. every mans
dozen steps before he came to Rigley.
That's one of them" he shouted, as he
pointed a long. bony finger fairly in the
guilty mans face. ''Frenchy'' was identi-
fled in the same manner as his pal and
when the old man had taken his seat again.
a storm of applause broke over the au-
dience which was remarkable. for a court
that it was the most remarkable piece
of Identification he had ever seen. The Jury
was out only a few minutes before arriving
at q verdict.
