DISSATISFACTION.
Do Not Like Being Divested of
Civil Rights.

There was much talk on the streets
yesterday in regard to the law which
shuts man out from voting if he has
neglected to pay his taxes by January
l, 1897. Not a few of the prominent
men in town, simply through little
carelessness, have been refused the
privilege of registering, and, as stated
above, the matter is attracting no small
amount of attention.
Said a Government official yester-
day afternoon on leaving the Regis
tration office: We'll, l have just been
forbidden. the privilege of voting.
What for? Simply because 1 happened
to be a few days late in paying my
taxes. Now, here is the injustice OF the
whole thing. After January LIST all
who have not paid their taxes have
been and are made to pay an additional
10 per cent as punishment for delin-
quency Very well then, we will say
that the taxes have been paid after
January list. The 10 per cent extra is
punishment enough; but here the law
steps in and says: You must be de-
priyed of your civil rights for not pay

picLship of the featler-weight class and Smith is
now at the top the fight was not remarkably
fast one the nen taking no chances except in
two three rounds when Dixon attempted to
force matters. Smith, however, who has greatly
improved since he met Dixon, had all the better
of the mitigating, using his right with great eff
feet both the body and head. Smith was cool
throughout the fight and came out without
mark of any kind. His blocking and ducking of
Dixons leads the features of the fight and
kept him out Of harms way
Smith showed up strong in the first ten rounds
but there were no sensational incidents. The
eleventh round was a ''oorker,'' Both men were
willing and it was mix from the start. First

of mind to shut off the steam and apply the
air brakes. The engine continued, notwith-
standing, at terrific rate of speed, tear

For five hundred and seventy feet the en-
CINE jumped over the ties and then went
into the ditch at the side of the main track.
The tender went in the opposite direction,
while the baggage car was thrown cross
wise of the track. Two day coaches were
derailed and crushed together The Pull
man cars were also derailed, but they es-
capped with little damage. Eli Carroll, of
Logansport the engineer in charge, was
hurled fifty feet and fell on a portion or
his cab Fireman John Baird, of Logans-
port, was pitched seventy-tive feet over
into a field. The engineer received terri
