THE TAXES
PAID IN AT THE COUNTY
TREASURER'S OFFICE
Paid In Last Iear-The Amount
Paid III and the Decrease In the
Rate In This City-nn Encouraging
Shnwinn

The county treasurer's deputy, j. A.
Spekenhier, this morning gave TO the
public, through the Medium of the
city reporters, statement with regard
to the payment os the first installment
of the state and county tax ar that Of
fee. The statement is of the most en-
couraging nature, and shows that the
times among those paying that sort of
revenue are steadily and certainly i'm
proving. The amount of such tax
shown in the May settlement is, for
this year, $241.3 1878 10. In last years
Mays settlement it was 1886 ,9i7
showing an increase in favor of this
year of sc. .43l 10.
In considering this increase there
is another point to be kept in mind
that make the showing even better
than it appears on its face. This in
crease in payment is made on rate
that is lower than that of last year.
Had the increase been made on a
higher rate, it would have been moth
ing remarkable But when the in
crease is had on lower rate, the in
crease means all the more. The rate
this year in the city, for slate and
county purposes, is l. cents less on
each 800 than it was last year, and
and the city valuation of property
for taxation is $ll ,660.0S The
decrease therefore at the rate of
II ceats on each 800 would
amount to So 1892 The increase in
taxes then, az the old rate would have
been the actual gain plus what the ad-
ditional gain would have been with the
old rate which is $40, ,323.19. That is
what the gain would have been at the
old rate, had the same proportion of
people paid their taxes The increase
merely shows, then, that larger num-
Der of people paid in their taxes than
on the previous year, and the number
of those so paying was so great that
in spite of the decreased rate the
amount of taxes on practically the
same valuation was larger.

There IS no joy in this world
equal to the happiness Of mother
hood. A Wonan'S health is her
dearest possession. Good looks,
good times, happiness, love and
its continuance, depend on her
health. Almost all of the sick
ness Of women is traceable di-
rectly or Indirectly to some de-
rangement Of the organs dis
tinct'y feminine. Troubles of
this kind are often neglected be-
cause very natural and proper
modesty keeps women away
from physicians, whose insistence
upon examination and local treat
mcnt is generally as useless as it
is common. DR.. Pierce'S Favor
tie Prescription will do more for
them than 80 doctors in 100. 1t
