old Pear Trees in the West.

Indiana and Illinois claim that they
have the Oldest pear trees in the west
in their respective states. There is one
near Springfield, H., known locally as
the great Sudduth pear tree, which
is so feet in height and ten feet in cir
old. This does not begin to compare
with some of the old pear trees planted
by the early German and Swedish set
tiers IN the vicinity of Philadelphia,
but il is remarkable for country set

The Virtue of Fidelity,

If a man may have but one vlr-
tue-and that seems to be the
maximum capacity of some men
he should choose fidelity, Adhere
to your beliefs adhere to your
friends, A man without fidelity is
like a ship without ballast tossed
about on the angry ocean; he is al
most certain to capsize, There
have been a few instances of mark
ed SUGGEST by treachous men, but
they succeeded under conditions
different from those which now eX-
list, Public sentiment had not
grown to be such a factor in affairs
There was less Of complication in
men. All the world, so say, loves
a lover; so it does, and all the world
respects and admires man who
stands firmly in his tracks aud
staunchly by his associates and
friends. EX,

BIG VICTORY
Won By the State in a Railroad Back
Tax Suit.

Tax Suit
An important victory was won by
the state a few days since in the
taxation suit involving the right Of
the state to assess the Western
Union Telegraph Company, Pacific
Express Company and Pullman
Palace Car Company for taxation,
The three companies instituted
suit to restrain the state officers
from assessing their property for
taxation under the act of 1887,
A temporary injunction was
granted about year ago restrain
ing the collection of taxes on the
assessments in these cases
DEGREES were entered by
by the court in favor Of the state,
The injunction wos dissoved, the
original bills were dismissed and on
the cross-bil Of the state a decree
was entered holding that the com.
panies were subject to taxation
and that the act of 1887 was
constitutional
An order was entered asking the
state assessment board, composed
of the governor, secretary of state
and auditor, 70 make an assess
ment Of the different years and
certify the same to the court,
which will then enter a decree for
for the taxes due the state,
The amount which, the state
will recover will be about $62, 900,
which will be distributed, one'third
to the state, one-third to the
counties in which the three corpo-
rations do business and one-thrd
to the school districts,
