Small County Tax Sale.

The delinquent tax sale of Audubon
county occurred Monday at the court
house and lasted only thirty five min
utes. The whole amount of these sales
was but 5302.43 This is most remark
aole fact. Treasurer Phelps tells us
that these tax sales usually amount to
from $1,000 to $500, and that ever since
he has been connected with the treas
urer's office these tax sales of real estate
have amounted to over one per cent of
the total tax of the county. This year
it is only .28 of one per cent, or only a
trifle over one-fourth Of one per cent.
The total tax of Audubon county due
this year was $104,909. The fact that all
of this tax that was on real estate was
paid before the tax sale last Monday
except 1902 .43, or about one-fourth of
one per cent, is remarkable indeed Our
democratic friends should not accuse us
of speaking for political effect only when
We make this showing. This condition
among real estate owners surely indicates
a much better ability to meet obligations
than usual, and is a gentle reminder to
our populist friends that prosperity
is returned.

A Model Plant is not complete with

with small engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station? One gener-
ator can furnish power to your Pump,
Centrifugals, Elevators, Flows, Rail-
ways and HOSTS; also, furnish light
and power for a radius of from Is to

Electric Power being used, saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-priced
engineers, and only have one engine to

FAMILY.
Six Members of il Perish
in a Small Fire.
RESULTS OF A SEARCH.
Bodies OF All but One Burned in
Horrible Manner.
SAD FATALITY In JERSEY CITY.

Jersey City Jan 3.-Flames and smoke
killed six members of one family SUM-
day as follows: Adolph Reich. AZ years
old. the father Emma Reich, a. years
old. the mother: Tillie Reich, % years:
Ida Reich. Is years; Albert Reich. ID
years. Gustav Reich. years. Several
others were injured. and it may be that
another member of the ill-fated family
will die. He is the l9-year-old son. and
his body is covered with burns.
John Conway, chief of the Jersey City
fire department, was badly cut and
burned. He fell through burning floor
and was rescued with some difficulty.
Henry Reich. IL years old. managed
70 make his escape from the house. re-
eeiving bad burns on the neck. face and
hands; but he Is not seriously injured.
Adolph Reich's home WAS at 81 Ger
mania avenue. I'm the Hudson City dis
trict, Reich was real estate agent, and
was wed 20 do, living in pleasant house
Of three stories. 1t is believed that the
FIRE broke out from heater in the base
ment and IL worked its way up to the
third floor, where the sleeping apart
ments of the family were located.
Henry Reich said it was late when the
family retired, the evening having been
spent in entertaining New Years callers
Early in the morning he was awakened
by shouts. Running out into the hall, lie
saw the smoke and flames in the lower
hall. His father was there, and they
managed TO get out Of the house together
in their night clothes. Young Reich then
gave the alarm. When he returned his
yather was not to be seen. one of his
brothers. Sigmund. was there. but badly
burned. He was taken to a neighboring
house, where he said that someone had
awakened him and that he had jumped
through the binding smoke and flames
down the staircase and out into the open
hir.
Ten minutes after the alarm the fire
was out. Then the search of the house
with its ghastly results began. The rays
from the firemen's lanterns disclosed
three charrcd bodies against the wall
at the foot Of the stairs. They were the
bodies OF Adolph Reich. Tillie and Gus
tav. The father had fallen upon the
daughter. and his son was in his arms.
They were burned almost beyond recog-
milton. In the basement OF the house
the searching party stumbled over some
thing at the foot Of the stairs. The Lam
terms showed sickening spectacle. Two
blackened corpses with arms enter
wined lay there. They were the remains
OF Ida and Albert. Portions of the limbe
had been entirely burned away. and the
faces were horribly distorted. They
searched thenIfor the mother. Her body
was found in the dining room. She was
but slightly burned. Her face was
natural and showed no look OF pain. She
undoubtedly died from suffocation.

week, commencing January 10th, fresh from
the New York Casino, where IL recently saw
the lime light and futtered into favor as
about the best bit Of home made stage goods
shown To the community in many season.
A wonderful amount of ingenuity was expend.
ed upon the elaboration OF the whimsical
story OF the play, with the result that the
Casinos fall season proved 10 be- the most
prosperous known in the history OF shat re-
nowned seat OF gorgeous display. Manager
George W. Ledsrer is probably OF flesh and
blood kinship with Manager T. E. Rice in his
calm indifference to the magnitude OF an ex-
penss account. Lederer is known TO do moth
ing on an economical scale. For example, he
il said to have mounted THE Belle of New
York" with lavish hand, knowing that the
true road TO the public Is in the way OF the
public eye. please the eye md you please

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
A COOKING MAIN.
II Took Place 10 C.ventry and Many
Sports Saw II.


One Of the most exciting and hardest
fought cooking mains which has occurred
10 the Pawtuxet Valloy for several years
took place i'm the wilds Of Coventry..a5out
uhree miles from Washington, early yes
friday morning ana was witnessed by
about 100 bird fanciers froIu all parts OF
the state.
This Is the first main which has been
fought In the Valley this year and its
promoters maintained grsat secrecy in
their arrangements as In times past the
police Jiiicels have sometimes managed
TO OBTAIN "a tip In regard TO the location
OF the lights, and have made things very
uisagreeabl ble for the participants who the
next day have been Obliged to contribute
TO the states treasury in payment for
their sporu and the accompanying breach
Of the law.
The battles were between birds from
Washington ana Kent counties ana were
to have commenced at Ia o'clock Satur.
day night, but when the sports arrived
at the rendezvous, where a pit had been
constructed, IL was found that M scales
had been furnished for the purpose OF
weighing the birds and one OF the party
was dispatched on three-mile drive to
procure pair. 1t was three O'Clock
yesterday morning before oil Of the ar
raugements had been completed and
everything in readiness for the iirst battle
when IL vas discovered that ono of the
south county birds was sick and not In
condition TO fight and the Kent county
sports at once claimed the forfeit which
had been agreed upon II all of tho birds
aid not come up to the scratch or the
three battles which were to constitute
the main were not fought After consid-
eral 10 discussion their claim was allowed,
snd the south county men at first declined
10 fight two battles, but finally they con-
s,nt d aud the first .pair Of birds were
placed in tho pit at about $3.50 O'Clock.
Ihe Kent county champion was.a black
red and tie south county bird gray
bota weighing IN at five pounds and ten
ounces. 1t had reen decided TO conduct
the main under the national rules and
AT the word from tho referee both birds
vera set TO work and foLght we'll but
when time was called neither was much
Iameged. In che second round both birds
fought savagely, the rel settIng In on
the gray twice and stopping Its speed
considerably. The gray rallied. however
and made n good fight. but was So much
weakened tnat II looked like a one-siGei
light. and tine betting which had started
even was TWO to one on the Kent county
bird with no takers. The South county
bird finally y~ent down and was counted
out ana the battle given To the black red.

THE CREW ESCAPED.

Halifax, Jan. 3-During thick weather
Saturday morning. the Thomson line
steamer Corona. from Portland. Me-, for
London with a general cargo and s2
horses and 300 head of cattle. struck on
Seal island. She foated Immediately.
and on the pumps being sounded 1t wa.
found she had 10 feet OF water in her hold
The captain decided TO abandon the ship
as the nres were out. having been ex-
tinguished by the water which poured
through the holes in her bottom. and
there was no hope of keeping her afioat
long enough TO get her to the nearest
land, else the officers and crew would not
have taken to the boats In the fearful
storm that ragged. All but one of the 81
amen reached shore in safety.
Reports from all along the coast In
dicate that the Corona foundered not
long after the crew took to the lifeboats
AT Clark's barber 200 dead cattle drifted
IN. and the keeper at Cape Sable light
reports that n number of cattle. n auan-
tity OF hay ard a badly shattered boat
had washed ashore there. The boat must
he one which was left on the steamer
when she was abandoned. While II Is
possible that the cattle and hay may
have been carried of the deck u the
GeSona 10y heavy seas sweepmg over her
I'm her SINKING condition, this snot con-
sidered probable, and II is generally be-
lieved that they foated away as the
steamer sank beneath the waves. About
go bales OF hay have drifted ashore at
Bay Poftage island one telerrdphlc
report states that the cattle ana hay
were on the FIRST deck. and the fact that
these have ashed ashore IL no ccnclus-
I've proof tha, the steamer has foun-
dered.
