Bluffton. The appeal was from the assess
ment made by the Pulaski county board.
The company has a pumping station at
Ora, in that county, and the local board
had assessed its buildings at $1,000, it's
pumps at SIS. 600, its boilers at ST.. 220, and
had charged It with having 10000 barrels

which action he appealed. This property Is
a stone quarry and II appeared that this
company was being taxed with a quarry
or when IL was simply the lessor. Inc MOT
ton c. Hunter estate owns the quarry. 1t
seemed peculiar that the board OF review
OF Monroe county did not ascertain in their
investigation who owned this property. An
other appeal was tina Of John Waldron, or
Monroe county. the wealthiest man IN mat
county, who appeals from an assessment
of $4,000 on building and loan stock, claim
ing that he had a bona fde Indebtedness
sufhclent TO reduce this appralsemSpt 70
about Sg,yO. This the Monroe
county board had not received. Mr.. wal
dron is now at Petoskey, Mich, ana ms
son-in-law, Mr.. atman testified as to
these facts, but the board ruled that he
was not competent to testify and TO avoid
the necessity of Mr.. Waldron making me
trip from Petoskey here, Mr.. Henly. the
county attorney of Monroe county. agreed
to receive his affidavit concerning ms nona
hde Indebtedness provided the aIhdaVlt or
all the secretaries or the dlietehl Dullu-
ing and loan associations in which ne had
stock would also make affidavits as 10 the
actual value of Mr.. Waldron's investments
in their associations. To-day the other tax
ferret cases come up from Richmond. rms
is also an effort TO increase the appralse-
ment made by the Wayne County Board
of Review, and, like other appeals from
Wayne county, it is made to increase the
assessment fixed by the local board. Ihere
are more appeals from counties IMAM ever
before. The appeal of I. H. Groves from
comes up to-day. This store moved into
Lafayette one day about three months ago
just before the first of April ana put up a
big sign that the concern had a $25O,VW
stock. In a few days the assessor came
around and instead of furnishing him any
m as to the value OF the STOCK
the employees proceeded to guy him unmer-
cifully. AS he could not receive any intor-
nation from those in charge OF the store
he proceeded on the outside and seeing their
advertisement that they had $250,O00 stock
he put that on the tax duplicae of Tfppe-
canoe county. Now they are trying to get
1t off and have appealed to the state board,
and the county assessor of Tippecanoe
county is having all the fun.

CHAMBERS among the horses of the north
western counties Of the State. They trace
the trouble to Chicago, where a number of
worn out street-car horses were gathered
together last year and sold to the poorer
classes of farmers of northwestern In

During the last few months the commits
sion has killed twenty-eight of these
horses and found one barn so badly in

In Course of Preparation by Special Com
mittee of the Elks.
Grand Rapids, Mich, November Ia
At the last session of the grand lodge of
the Order of Elks in Minneapolis last
summer a committee was appointed
with George n. Por-5-, &c +hie atty, &c
chairman, to revise the ritual.
The committee has completed it's task
and work under the new ritual will be
exemplfied for the first time in Daisy
lodge, in this city, December 10 and IL.
It is expected that Grand Exalted Ruler
Detweiler, of Pittsburg, and other grand
officers will attend, also the state depu-
ties from all parts of the country, dele
cations from any Of the lodges and a
large representation Of the order in this
state. The arrangements for the enter
tainment of the visitors have not yet
been completed, but a social session on
an elaborate scale is figured upon as one
of the features.
The new ritual is shorter than the old
and the work is changed in several re-
spects.
