THE TAX LAWS.

"nen You ShOuld Fay and How You Can
Pay.
Notwithstanding the repeated pre-
sensations Of the matter there are vet
many who apparently do not under
stand the new provisions of the law
with reference to tax payment. Briefly
they are: ~..:.:.ss=.*
Real estate taxes may be paid in
two equal installments. ..-.. ..
Payment of the first one-half may
be made on or before MayS3l. D..
"A penalty of 10 per cent on the
whole tax is added June ], provided
the first onehalf is not paid on or be-
fore May 81. -.>.
Payment on the second one-half
may be made on or before Oct. 81.
"a penalty of 10 per cent is added
Nov. /, if the second one-half is not
paid on or before Oct. 81, and said tax
will become delinquently on the first
Monday of January next, when an adj
ditional penalty Of per cent is added.
Tax sales take place the first Monday
of May following, and the amount of
sales draws interest at the rate of
per cent. a month until redeemed. If
not redeemed within three years from
date of sale, all lands become the alb
solute property of the State or pur-
chaser"
That is to say, if you go to the treas
urer's office to pay your taxes for 1897,
you only have to pay one-half the tax
assessed, but you can pay it all if you
wish. If you do not pay that half of
the tax before June 1, you cannot pay
the whole without having a 10 per cent
penalty put upon the whole amount,
although the second half is only just
due on that day. If you have paid your
first half on or before May 81, then you
have until October 81 to pay the Sec
ond. This makes taxes much easier to
pay than formerly, and deeds can be
filed and records made without pay
ment OF a whole year of ax.-Red

The Dams Will Help. @.~
The Foley-Bean Lumber Co., of Mil
AGA, expect to start their saw mill in
about IL week, as by that time they
think the ice will be all out of the Rum
river. The water in the river is very
low, but owing to the excellent system
of dams they have built they are
assured of a plentiful supply of water
for driving the stream. In the river
and lakes between Mitaca and the
Mile Laos lake, including Shakopee
and Rice lake and Upper Rice lake,
they have about 80, 600, 900 feet Of logs.
They have also about 1000, 5000 feet OF
logs in Bradbury brook that may be
hung up. Were it not for the fact that
inzthe past twenty-five years the drive
has never failed to come out Of Brad
bury, they would be about ready to
abandon it, for the. water is very low
at the present time. Some time next
week they expect to have their big
mill operating Lasaebernaan.

Steam snow-sIeds.

A company has been organized in
Chicago 10 operate a steam-sled line
between st. Michaels and Dawson
City, Alaska, q distance Of 1885 miles.
1t is proposed to carry both passengers
and freight, and the first locomotive Is
now under construction in this city. It
is claimed that train can be propelled
across the snow and ice carrying 100 900
pounds OF merchandise, or $50 passen-
gers.
The fuel used In the locomotive and
for heating purposes will be wood,
which grows in abundance all through
that country. The steering gear Is q
chain attached TO the forward sleds Of
the locomotive, and running over q
wheel in the pilot-room, and Is oper-
ated by the pilot, the same as on a
steamer. The weight OF the locomo-
tive rests on the slegh-runners, inde-
pendent Of the drivers. The drive
wheels are each on an independent
axle, are driven by separate engines,
and play in q sprocket, which will al
low them TO drop into low places or
rise over small distractions without
disturbing the equilibrium OF the loco
motive.
To most readers the prospect looks
like an impossible one. The projectors
admit that they are to face many seri-

success. II the plan should prove TO be
feasible, great problem in transpor-
tation would be solyed.-Epw0rth Her

A DISTINGUISHED HONOR.
Mark Hanna VIII Reside I'm the Execu-
tive Mansion at Washington.

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-There is Il
be new ledger at the White House. {
distinguished roomer who is tired o
the crowds at the hotels and goes Il
live with the Presidents family for the
sake Of quiet.
| This distinguished guest Is Senator
Marcus Hanna Of Ohio.
The exceptional and distinguished
honor Of being invited into the Presi
dents family is not to be lightly appre.
ciated. Indeed, it is pointed out in
Washington that the honor done to
the Senator from Ohio is one rarely
before paid to man in private life not
federal appointee or q relative Of the
Presidents family.
Mr.. Hanna, of course, is neither. II
he were federal appointee, holding
confidential relations with the Presi-
dent which required frequent and init
mate consultation between the two, II
would be perfectly natural for the
President to wish 70 have him within
reach.
Having made Mr.. Mckinley Presi-
dent, and feeling proprietary interest
In him and all the perquisites Of the
Office, the Senator doubtless feels that
II anybody has q right to make himself
at home In the White House, he is the
man. In point Of fact, when the stress
Of office-seekers preyed heavily upon
his nerves early in the history Of the
Mckinley administration, he packed
up and moved into the White House
for refuge. He had a period OF enjoy
able rest then and he now goes back
for second trial.
Now there's new and even more res
olute crowd Of patronage hunters dog
ging Senator Hanna's heels--the pro-
duction of the late Ohio campaign.
Senator Foraker is making 1t hard for
Senator Hanna to keep his promises,
and rather than face his constituents
with the confession that 1t Is not easy
to land them, Senator Hanna is seeking
to avoid them.
Old Washingtonians who appreciate
the singularly exceptional honor paid
Senator Hanna congratulate him upon
being able to lodge In the White House
when he tires OF other more accessible
places. There are old heads here, ex-
perienced in the lore of the White
House, and none Of these can recall a
time when a man who had made q
president went TO the White House to
live with him. Mr.. Hanna's IL great
privilege. When his days work is
over he can retire behind the walls OF
the White House and enjoy absolute
rest and quiet. At night he can enjoy

Women Voters.

A great many old-time politicians in
the state are beginning to borrow trou-
BILE about women voting at the next
election. They do not know where to
place them nor what calculations to
make of the numbers voting. These
old-timers have lost their occupation
as tally-keepers and as authority for
the number of votes to be cast at any
election. The advent of women in
the politics OF the state presents prob
lem which they cannot solve.
THE NEWS may be taken as author
ity for this statement: The women will
cast larger vote than the opponents
of equal suffrage count upon when
mentally polling the votes in the coun-
ties OF the state. Many of the women
to-day, express themselves as opposed
to free suffrage, and shudder at the
thought of ''roughing it, election
day around the polls, but when their
patriotism is to be called into question,
when their votes are demanded for
men who can be trusted in Office, whose
competency, honesty and fitness Cannot
be questioned as against the tricky and
slippery office-seeker, they will not
shrink from their duty. The unpleas-
ant feature of going to the polls will
not keep them from a patriotic duty,
from expressing by ballot their pref
erence for good government honestly
administered.
The women may always be trusted to
favor that which is true. beautiful and
good, and no old methods of drum
corps, torch-light and noisy campaign
ing can turn them into the ways of dis
honorable politics. 1t is true that
large per cent. of the women of the
state were opposed to equal suffrage,
but since the rights of the ballot-box
were thrust upon them aud they were
made voters, nolens volens, they will
discharge their duty like brave Spar
tan women, whenever there is ques-
tion between good men and bad or I'M
fit men for office. No, the old-time
politician who could control primaries
and pack county conventions may now
bid farewell, and long farewell, to
much of his political greatness. The
women will be brave-they will vote.
