ere the dawning Of another hope that GER
tain obsolete laws and methods of taxation
now IN force will be matters of the past
Our citizens pay taxes cheerfully but the
they know the burden was equitabiy dis
tributed. There are hundreds who do bust
ness without license. whose claims for ex-
taxed. We need a readjustment of our
license laws In accordance with modern
methods and conditions. 1t Is the intention
Of this office to contribute to that end by

ASSESSORS provided for under the act of
August H. 1884, are now actively engaged
in their work in connection with the as
sessment for the three years commencing
July l. 1899. The result of this assessment

ard from then to the first Mon1ay of the

foried to all parties concerned to have a
full hearing of such complaints as may be
made in respect of said assessment.
1t is gratifying to note the general ex-
?ressions OF approval concerning the last

be even more satisfactory, as the gentlemen
composing the board have had special cp-
portunlties of gaining enlarged experience,
and can more readily discover any Unequal
tiles that may nov exist in the values of

Care of Records.

Care of Records
In the basement annex of the office there
are about 500 volumes of valuable records
piled on the floor and corners of the room
for the want of shelves to properly ar
range and classify them. Many of them be-
ing needed for daily reference, great an
noyance IS caused this Office, as also the
lawyers and others having occasion to use
them. lack of funds has prevented "a
remedy for this dep,orable condition. on
the main floor, the necessity for more room
is apparent in order to facilitate the trans
action of public business. and it is in con-
temptation to make such changes in the
counter that will give more room and ex-
pedite the work of the clerks.
These much needed improvements it is
estimated, will involve an expenditure OF
about $500. and 1 trust that an item to
that effect will be recommended for inser-
ton in the next appropriation bill.
Numerical Books.
The act of March 3, 1897, appropriated

A FATAL HOTEL FIRE.
Three Burned to Death and Another

OIL City, Pa. Oct. 25.-Three persons
were burned to death and seven more
severely injured in fire that destroy.
ed the Hotel Brooklyn. at Kelletville.
25 miles southeast of Oil City. early
yesterday morning. The building was
a three story one, roughly built of
double boards, and burned like finders.
At 3 a. m., when the flremen first dis
covered 1t, there were hundred per-
sons asleep in the hotel. At that time

ond floor of the building. shut off all
retreat from the rooms on the floors
above. Six men on the second floor
and five on the third saved themselves
by jumping from the windows to the
ground below, but there were none Of
these who escaped without severe burns
or hurts.
Those killed are: Professor Tucker,
aged about 65 years, who travelled
about the country giving stereopticon
sketches, and is supposed to have come
from Seawickley. near Pittsburg; An
drew Salsgiver, of Tionesta, a mail
carrier, aged 81 years. and partially
paralyzed; Miss Kate Miller, Of Kellet-
vile, aged 10 years.
Miss Emma Kiser, teacher in the
Kelletville schools, was so badly burned
about the face and body and so severely
injured by jumping from the second
story Of the hotel htat she may die.
What remained Of the bodies Of
Tucker and Salsgiver were gathered
together, and were not enough to
an ordinary cigar box.
The fire is supposed to have origina-
ted by Professor Tucker knocking over
a lamp in his bedroom, as he had the
toothache and used the lamp for maxi
ing hot applications.

FREE LUNCHES.
A Kick by the Keepers Of Restaurants--
Says 1t Hurts Their Business.

BY the aid Of the free lunch which Is
served up daily In most Of the saloons in
the city from 10 to 10 o'clock and from
to 8 O'cIock. and from 10 to 10 o'clock p.
H., Is the source of considerable expense to
tho saloon keeper and cuts bis profits down
to a minimum. But at the same time 1t
serves to draw more customers than the
saloon otherwise would.
The custom Of setting out lunch was
adopted several years ago when lagor Deer
became the great American beverage es.
pecially amongst the working people who
with their mug of besrat dinner hour were
given free lupch with 1t. Therefore
lunches consisted of soups, cold roast
meats, baked beans, and every dish known
In the culinary line. Some Of the large sa-
looms in Philadelphia and other large cities
serve up regular dinner to their patrons
or to any one who chances to drop In and
call for drink.
70 such an extent has the free lunch
been carried chat keepers Of restaurants
have complained about 1T iniuring their
business.
There is no doubt that considerable more
liquid refreshments are sold than other
wise would be If nothing was given to relish
the groat American beverage, while the
thirsty are slackening their great thirst.
One saloon keeper In our city, said the
free lunch business was getting so that
people expected a fried chicken with every
drink sold, and he does a paying business
to. 1t used to besaid, another we'll known
gentleman that you had togo into re.
freshment place kept by a German to get
JOod glass of beer, now the Irish dispenser
of liquid refreshments serves 1t up as good
as his German co-laborer.
