SOME FORGOTTEN FACTS.

"A rumor or report has been IN
circulation lately that the delin-
quent railroad taxes collected by
Lincoln county in 1896 was collect.
ed through the efforts of Judge
Stearns. Itseems strange that any
man with any common sense would
make sucn statement, or that they
would expect any sane person to
believe it after it had been told.
TO set this matter at rest we give
the following facts, which appear
to have been forgotten by some of
our people.
The delinquent taxes due from
the railroad company was seggre-
gated and set over to Lincoln coun-
ty in January 1896 by c. B. Cros-
no, acting for Lincoln county, and
Judge Hufford, acting for Benton
county. Judge Burt employed the
law firm of Weatherford & Wyatt,
of Albany, 10 appear before Referee
Woodcock on behalf of Lincoln
county, and these gentlemen secur-
ed the payment of some $4,000.
This money was received in Toledo
on the 3Ist day of March, 1896.
The bonds of the county treasurer
not being sufficiently large to COW
er this amount of money, so the
money was deposited in the vault
in the custody of County Clerk
Jones, and Jack Franz was hired to
guard it nights, and the money was
delivered to the treasurer in Install
ments of$3, 900 each. The first in
stallment received by the county
treasurer was, according to Treas
urer Hyde's statement, on the 1st
day of April, 1896. Stearns was
appointed county judge by Cover
nor Lord about the first of Septem.
Der, 1896. We do not see how the
most active partisan can connect
Judge Stearns in any manner with
the collection of these taxes. His
only connection with it that we car
trace is where he helped to refuse
to pay the balance of $2I of Jack
Franz's bill for guarding the money
al night while it was in the clerk:
vault.

Number 48.
THEY ARE UNITED.
The Reform Forces of Lincoln county
will Unite.

At an adjourned conference meet
ing of the democrat and populist
central committees last Saturday,
arrangements were perfected where
by the two parties would combine
and form a union Of forces in the
coming campaign. The agree
ment was the outcome of several
conferences OF the two committees.
The terms of the compact are as fol-
lows: The populists and demo-
Gratis will each call county coven-
ton, composed of 46 delegates each;
this being one delegate at large for
each precinct, and one FOR each 20
votes, or ma jor fraction thereof cast
for w. J. Bryan for president.
These two conventians will meet at
Toledo on the same day, and each
will nominate their separate dele
gates to the state convention, and
do the other, preliminary work of
an ordinary convention, then the
two conventions join into one con-
vention and nominate county ticket
composed of men of both parties.
1t is believed that this will be
satisfactory to the members of both
parties, and each party will have
equal chances in the convention.
There is spirit of harmony pre-
vailiug which augurs we'll for the
Union. The conventions bave been
called for March II, and the pri-
maries for March IL. The princip-
les laid down in this union of forces
are simple and plain. They COM
prise the opposition to the single
gold standard, and favor direct leg
islature. Upon these issues are in
vited the cooperation of all the peo-
pie of Lincoln county who can en-
dorse them.

If there ever was a time when
there was an urgent need of strict
economy in both state and county
matters that time is now. The tax
payers of the state and county are
confronted once more by the tax
rolls upon which the taxes ale due,
and the burdens incurred in paying
last years taxes have not yet been
lifted. In the case of Lincoln coun-
ty as we'll as in many other coun-
ties, the burden of taxation will be
heavier this year than ever before.
If the same rate of expenditure is
maintained id the next year as in
the past it will take a county levy
of at least 20 mills to meet current
expenses and prevent deficit,
And in return for these heavy bur-
denr of taxes the only thing the
people seemed to have secured is a
legacy of lawsuits.

The sensible and wise thing has
been done by the silver forces of
Lincoln county in uniting. The
issue is squarely the single gold
standard and the bank issue and
control Of money, as against the
double standard of gold and silver,
and the government issue and con-
troll of all credit currency. There
is no more international bug-a-boo

with. On this is issue, and on the
issue Of direct legislation the forces
of this county have united.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The friends of
the victims of the ,Iaine disaster have
discovered that they cannot have their
bodies brought to this country in cases
where they have already been inferred.
This is due to the fact that the Spanish
laws forbid the exhumation of corpses
until the expiration of the period of
five years after burial. The prohibition
had it's origin in the fear of infection
from contagious diseases. Some appli-
cations have already been made to have
bodies brought to the United States by
the danger of the work and the escape
of some of the firemen WIS all but
miraculous. After hard fight lasting
four hours the flames were finally con-
quered. Mr.. w. B. Duke, president of
the American Tobacco company, wit

He said that 1t would be at once rebuilt,
The origin of the fire is unknown.

Arrangements Made for the Longest
Trolley Line in the World.
Arrangements for the construct Of
the longest electric railway In the world
have just been completed. The pro-
jectors of the. Geneva Lake, Sycamore
& Southern railway have concluded ar
engagements with projectors of the Kan
kakee, Wilmington 6 Morris railway to
consolidate the lines and thus form tho
longest line of electric railway extant.
The eastern terminus of the road'will
be Kankakee, Ill. From this point the
road will follow the Kankakee river
through the beautiful valley to Will
mington, and from there to Morris, with
branch to Joliet. From Morris the
road will traverse the Fox river valley
connecting with lines from Elgin and
Aurora, to Sycamore and thence to
Geneva Lake, Wis.
This road will penetrate country NOT
at present occupied by any steam lines.
The population of different centers it
will strike and connect with which It
will depend upon for traffic exceeds
5000.
The new line will be constructed
through the most picturesque portion
of the Mississippi valley. Right OF way
from Kankakee to Morris has been se-
cured by capitalists interested in the
Kankakee, Wilmington & Morris road.

CABINET DISCUSSES THE DISASTER.
No Credible Evidence Received as to
Its Cause-secretnry Long Takes a
Rest-The Ni2cayn snils for
City of Havana.

Washington, Feb. 26.-In spite of the
stories that come from unofficial
sources in Havana as to sensational de-
of the divers in the Names hull, the
administration remains firm in its
statement that there is no credible ey-
idence one way or the other as to the
cause of the disaster, and holds to it's
purpose to await the conclusion of the
investigation now making by the court
of inquiry. This position was empha-
sized at Fridays cabinet meeting. Peo-
pie who looked for some startling an
nouncement were disappointed, as the
members without reservation frankly
admitted that the subject of the loss
of the Maine had been discussed, but
said that the government had received
no information from Havana since
Thursday, and had no Intention of
changing it's policy until there was
something of substance to warrant 1t.
The Spanish legation was equally in the
dark as to any of the discoveries re-
ported from sources that are not cited,
as was shown by the message from
Capt. Gen. Blanco.
Secretary Long Takes n Rest.
Secretary Long has been under a
heavy and almost constant strain ever
since he was awakened in the middle
of the night week ago last Tuesday
by the news of the loss of the Maine,
and now that matters are, at least for
the time being, in quieter state, he
has withdrawn from the navy depart

Louisville, Ky, Feb. 26.-The man.

the American Tobacco company, at
Twenty-fourth and Main streets, was
destroyed by fire Friday, entailing
loss of over $35o,Ooo, fully covered by
insurance. 1t was the most disastrous
confagration that has visited the Falls
city in years. The plant occupied half
square and at the time the fire broke
out contained an army of employees who
rushed frantically from the building.
Many made their way to terra firma via
fire escapes, but several on the upper
floors who had no means of escape in
their excitement leaped from the win
dows, two sustaining probably fatal
injuries. The injured are: George
Tissendorf, back injured and severe in
juries about the head and chest, will
probably die; William Semple, skull
fractured, will probably die; John Pack

AN AMBULANCE SHIP.

SugEestions Made by Surgeon Gen-
eral Van Reypan of the Navy.
II Surgeon General W. K. Van Rey-
pan can accomplish 1t the navy will be
supplied during his administration with
an ambulance ship, says the Washing
ton correspondent Of the New York
Herald. Plans prepared in accordance
with designs submitted by DR.. Van Rey-
pan contemplate the construction Of an
ambulance ship Of $3.50 tons displace-
ment. She will be 300 feet in length
and so feet beam, and will steam II
knots an hour. The ship will carry
four steam launches and four barges,
each barge arranged with flying floor
between the thwarts, so as to convent
emily carry 10 cots. There will be beds
for 274 patients and hammock space for
56, and the vessel will comfortably ac-
commodate $50 i'll or wounded men,
with sufficient berthing space for the
crew. There will be quarters for four
medical officers, two apothecaries and
10 nurses.
Upon the completion OF an action, DR..
Van Reypan explains, launches should
tow barges alongside the vessels, coll
lect the wounded and steam with all
dispatch to the ambulance ship, where
the patients would receive the beat pos
sible care.

BUSINESS NOT HURT.
Volume Of Trade Not Lessened by
Our Foreign Complications.
REPORTS AMONG BEST OF THE YEAR.
Speculation, However, Feels the Eff
feet of the Strained situation-some
Hesitation Is Caused In Large
Business Operations.
New York, Feb. 2e.-Bradstreet's

New York, Feb. 26.-Bradstreet's
says:
while business of speculative nature
has been quick to reflect the increasing
strain in political affairs In reduced values
and Withdrawals or curtailment of activity
in some lines, there Is little to Indicate
that the volume of distributive trade had
been reduced, and reports to Bra1street's
this week, SO far as the latter branch of
business Is concerned, are among the best
received this year. With few important
exceptions the price situation Is one OF
strength, while the enlarged demand for
coarse grain is taken to reflect the turn
ing OF attention from higher-priced cereals
to those of lower-priced character AT
the east last weeks squirt In the dry goods
trade at Boston does not seem to have
held. but at New York there is consider
ably more doing In the jobbing trade.
The best report as to the distribution of
trade made SO far this year comes from the
central west. Spring trade there Is re-
perhaps the most important market for ag-
ricultural implements in the country, re-
ports the demand exceeding all records
and sales limited only by the ability to de-
liver orders. The demand for iron and
steel at the west still continues large and
prices are firm. A feature Of Chicago
trade has been the placing of an order fc.
Alaska. Almost equally good reports cont
from the northwest. where trade Is reported
either fully equal to or ahead of last year.
The south seems to have shared in the i'm
provement to notable extent. Collections
are reported retarded In Texas owing to
the holding back of cotton. The word
'ISlondike' accurately pictures the situa-
ton on the Pacific coast. All eyes appear
to be fixed on the Quitting trade and the
transportation of men and supplies north"
R. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly re-
view of trade, say:
Foreign possibilities have much affected
speculation and caused hesitation in some
large business operations. possibly ac-
counting in part for a check In the rapid
advance Of wheat, but Industrial produce
ton continues larger than ever. few more
works being added to the active list. with
decrease in the number of hands on
strike, and renewed evidence that the yol-
ume of business is larger than in February
of any previous year. Nor Is there
any symptom of a senseless craze based
on rising prices. The legitimate export and
domestic demand presses closer to the ca
