DRIVES AWAY GHOSTS.
A New Field of Business Enterprise in
Many Haunted Houses of England.

Haunted houses are so scarce I'm this
country hat TO have n In the family
is an enviable distinction; but In Eng
land, where ghosts have had time TO
accumulate, haunted houses are below
par. Agents and real estate men find
them soul-harrowing problems, and
many a roomy old English mansion
stands empty all the year round be-
cause of its reputation for uncanny
sights and sounds However. even a
graveyard wind isn't so i'll that il blows
no one good. and out of the prevalence
of haunted houses in England has de-
veloped a new field of labor for honest
Brltons. The ghost exorcist is one of
the latest additions to professional
ranks.
of course the exercising of evil spir-
its dates back to earliest times; but
ghost exercising, as a practical, cold
blooded, unromantic business. at so
many pounds a ghost, is fin de steele.
The ghost bearder must be a man with
out superstition. and with much of the
wisdom of the serpent. He goes to the
haunted house. makes himself known
in the neighborhood, investigates thor
oughly the foundations of the ghost
stories, and. IL possible. exposes the alb
surdity of the reports. Very frequently
he finds natural explanations for queer
sights and sounds. and invites the
ntlSnDOTs III 10 see now the Rn0SsS
work. III that isn't possible, he opens
up the house. brightens ii so that il
loses its mysterious and hangdog look,
persuades a few friends to join him,
and proceeds to demonstrate tina one
may live with absolute safety and en-
joyment in the place OF i'll repute.
In districts where the population is
too ignorant and superstitious to be
moved by reason. the willy ghost exor-
cist has been known to appeal to the SUI
perstition n court a reputation for
supernatural powers of his own. He
meets the ghost on it's W ground. AMI
drives out the belief in the boyle by a
stronger belief in his proficiency in the
black arts. The things desired are the
routing of the undesirable tenants and
The earning OF the guaranteed coin Of
the realm. If. in order to do that, he
must deal in charms and spells. the sue
cessful exorcist will trump up charms
and spells calculated to paralyze any
ghost. and to instil serene confidence
into the most ignorant rustic mind.
The exorcist ears his fee. the agent
chortles in his glee, the property owner
congratulates himself, and a poor dis
credited ghost goes wandering over the
face OF the earth. a victim of modern
business methods.

THE DELINQUENT TAXES
There Has Been Paid &172, 900
Into the Butte Treasury.
THIRTY THOUSAND UNPAID
4 Call for Warrants Is Soon to B
Made to the Amount of 100000.
1t Win Be Necessary to In
crease the Revenues.

City Treasurer Mccarthy and his cs-
sistants completed yesterday the enter
ing and footing up of the taxes paid by
that out of a total due of 500, 600 about
s172, 900 has been paid. OF this s67. 900
was paid up to December 1 and since
then sos 900 has been paid, making the
total s172. 600. This leaves about $780,
900 delinquent.
Mr.. Mccarthy said that a all for
warrants would be made as soon as L
can be got ready. The council at its
last meeting authorized him to make a
call not later than Dec. Is. but Mr..
Mccarthy said yesterday that he did
not think he could get in shape to make
the call by that time, but would issue
II early next week. The all will be
made for warrants to the amount of
100000, or perhaps. for $50, 900. This
should pay everything up to about the
beginning of the present year.
The receipts show no increase this
year over last in either taxes or L.
censes. As the expenses of the city are
increasing. some means will IA to be
resorted to to increase the revenues.
As the city grows larger the cost for
street cleaning and %sprinkling becomes
greater. The paved streets demand a
good deal OF attention in order that
they may be kept looking well and not
covered with IA AS the city has
grown the police force has had to he
increased somewhat. more work than
ever has been done in the sanitary de-
partment and new fire apparatus has
been lately purchased in order hat
the property of the citizens may be
properly protected. The growing city
involves greater expense for lighting,
street cleaning and for police and fire
protection. but as yet no means has
been found to cor~respondingly increase
the receipts. The license collections for
the past year are no greater than the
previous year m may fall a little be-
low. The receipts from taxes will he
no greater than last year. the assessed
valuation Of property being about the
same. The taxes are certainly nigh
enough and any move to increase them
would probably produce a roar. 1t is
likely that the ways and means COM
mittee of the. council will be called to-
gether soon to consider the matter of
obtaining more revenue from licenses.
1t is thought nat there are probably
a number OF occupations and business
enterprises which pay no licenses or not
enough. n the receipts from this
source may be increased his year.

WORDS OFPRAISE.
Lieut.. Lind's Fu1f1lment of His Duties as
Ouartermaster Highly Compli-
mented by Lieut.. Benner.

The Review is in receipt of the fol-
lowing communication from Lieut.. Ben
ner, acting battalion adjutant of the
Twelfth Minnesota:
Having read many false statements in
several newspapers concerning Lieut..
John Lind, quartermaster Of the Twelfth
Minnesota, consider it my duty, as a
brother officer, to defend him to my ut
most ability.
Lieut.. John Lind, while in the service
of the U. S. arm;, performed his duties
as an officer and gentleman.
He worked constantly for the interest
of the regiment.
Any man, who has ever had any ex-
perience in military matters, can truth
fully affirm that Lieut.. Lind was pro-
ticient quartermaster.
While stationed in Camp Geo. H.
Thomas, Chickamauga Park, his ambi-
ton was to make the Twelfth Minnesota
the best equipped regiment in the Park.
Did he fail to do it? No. Statistics
show that Lieut. Lind did his duty, and
by reason of having done it he has won
the love and esteem of every member of
the gallant Twelfth.
He did all he could and no man could
have done more under the circumstances.
If some of the politicians who have the
audacity to crit1cise the actions of Quar-
termaster Lind Lad been in his place,
what would they bave done for the well
fare of the regiment? I am afraid they
would have proven sad failures.
In conclusion, will say that Lieut..
Lind is true American citizen. When
his country needed his services, he VOL
unteered to sacrifice his life, in the de-
fence of the 'Star Spangeled Banner"
But above all this he proved himself
worthy of the title of ''Honest John"
In all his dealings, whether with p1lvates
or officers, he showed himself to be
perfect gentleman.
All honor is due to Lieut.. Lind, and
the good citizens of New Ulm ought to
be proud to have among them such
noble and trustworthy citizen and SOL
dier.
