Total..............l7O 20 sl,9lO,6G 90
1t year the total was Sl.2lO, 1897.

Last year the total was Sl.2l0, 1897.
This therefore shows an increase
over last year by sl2, 1876. The pull
man Companies assessment was es-
pecially increased. A year ago the
assessment on Pullmans on the two
lines which now carry them was So ,237
This year it is s5,7lS. This is an in.
crease of about seventy per cent on
the assessment of lasc year. Last year
the Rock Island ran Pullman's but
does not this year. However no ac-
count was made of Pullman assess
ments on that road in any of the above
compilations.
This increase is in the right line and
may be set down to the credit of the
pOpulist board of railway assessors.

Burial Places.

The ancients looked on Death as
"the daughter Of Fight, the sister OF
Sleep and tho friend Of the unhappy"
Their artists pictured the grim mes
senger who knocks with equal foot at
the cots of the poor and the palaces Of
the rich, as a drowsy, poppy-crowned
youth, not as feshless monster, such
as horrifies us moderns. The Greeks
called their burying ground Coemet-
trion, "the sleeping place." from
which comes our word cemetery. The
old Jews, who had no. horror OF the
grave, called it Bethaim, "the house
of the living" The Germans, with
poetical simplicity, call the graveyard
Goods Acre." or "feld." The Ara
paho Indians call the grave 'The
Spirits birthplace. In Morocco they
never say man is dead, but that "his
destiny has closed" and the grave Is
'where he ponders." The burial
grounds Of to-day are the most beauti-
full parks near the cities Of civilized
lands, but there are those who believe
that burying must soon give place to
cremation indeed, societies are formed
for that purpose, aud we are told that
cinerary urns will take the place Of
tombstones. But the fashions Of bur-
ial seem to beas Interchangeable as death
himself. New York Ledger.

Tho Highway Question.

That the newspaper agitation Of the
good roads question, together with the
L. A. WIS persistent policy in the
same direction, has already been pro.
ductive Of good results in several
States is gratifying.
The bill pending before the Penn
sylvania legislature for road construc-
ton, which carries with it an appro-
priation Of Sl,OOO,OOO, is considered
almost certain to pass, and the State
press is already congratulating Penn
sylvania on the immense benefits
which will come from the measure.
The Arkansas Legislature has passed
bill of the same kind, and although
it is of such nature as not to provide
a regular system of improvement, still
it is step in the right direction.
New Jersey has made more progress
recently in road construction than any
other State, and as result the price
OF farm lands has advanced materially.
The Massachusetts, legislature has
appropriated over, $500, 900 for the
same purpose, and the Southern States
are coming forward in this work to an
extent which should cause some OF the
Northern States to blush for shame.
With most of them, however, local en-.
terprise and not State legislation is re.
sponsible for the building Of good
roads. The campaign of road educa-
ton is going on, and it is gradually
dawning on the people that poor roads
are heavy tax upon any community,
and that good roads are in the line Of
true economy and powerful auxiliaries
to prosperity-a prosperity in which
the press should claim large share.

Roads and Farm Values.

How much would you give for
farm located thousand miles from o
railroad, wagon road, and every other
means Of communication with the rest
of the world?
How much would you give for q
farm within four miles of railroad,
and the wagon roads for those four
miles filed with mud, stones, sand and
trying grades?
And wouldn't you give more for that
farm if the road to town or to several
market points were hard and smooth
and level, 80 that vehicles of all kinds,
including bicycles, would happily con.
vey many people to aud fro, and so you
could market the farm produce quickly
and cheaply?
The value of farm depends almost
wholly on the railroads aud wagon
roads about it. Good roads are worth
more to the farmer than to any one
else. The more easily, quickly and
pleasantly he can get to and from his
farm the more it is worth an acre. The
distance to market depends on the
character of the road.

How John Hay Cot His STAR,

Ex-Attorney. General Williams, Of
Kansas, lived OF Quincy, Ill.,, in his
boyhood. At Warsaw, in the next
county on the north, lived John Hay,
afterward President Lincoln's Private
ecretary, and now Minister ct the
Court Of ST. James. Mr.. Hay was =
country poet in those days-the "Un.
lettered Bard" he subscribed himself.
he wrote quality Of poetry that made
Mr.. Williams tired, and his rural airs
and manners were simply killing TO
the practical Quincy boy.
"I'll drive that fellow of the river, |"
Mr.. Williams declared one day, and
40 he did. Mr.. Williams got himself
together one day and wrote the rot.
tenest sort Of alleged verses. These
he signed 1.-THE Unlettered Bard, I"
and caused them to be printed on
coarse brown wrapping paper, such as
grocers used in those days. Then he
stole up to Warsaw, and in the dead Of
the night he posted the "Unlsttsred
Bard's" verses all over town. This
took the conceit out Of Hay in an hour :.
A stern resolve came into his face, and
the next week he left the town, going
to Springfield, where Lincoln took him
into his law Office and afterward in
stalled him in the White House as his
private secretary.
'Whatever John Hay is or will be"
Mr.. Williams once said, ct made him.
If I had not caused him to SEQ himself
as others saw him, he would never
have left Warsaw, and leaving War
saw is what gave him his start. ~

A Peculiar Stone.

In Patrick County, Virginia, there
is found peculiar stone much sought
after by superstitious people, who be-
lieve that the possessor Of one of these
queer stones is perpetually endowed
with good luck. The stones vary in
size, and many of them are in the
shape of cross. This is, perhaps, the
cause of the legend that is related
about them. 1t is told that fairies
were sent all over the world to carry
the news OF the birth of Christ. After
the glad tidings had been spread the
elves fashioned the stones into crosses,
as mementoes Of their services.

GOOD ROADS NOTES,
Wide Tires.

There is no question that at GER
tain times in the year to use wide
tires would iniurc the roads less than
narrow ones; but if wide tires are to
become our maintainers of good roads,
it must be through their general adop-
ton, which we don't look for soon.
Probably the only way to bring it
about would be through the imposi-
ton of heavy fines upon users of mar
row tires, and we doubt whether the
farmers themselves would look with
favor upon such coercive measure,
or whether it could be enforced, The
