RECEIVE ICE COLD BATH.
Two Ladies victims of a Joke Planned on

Two Ladies Victims of a Joke Planned on
a Man.
Facts concerning a side incident OF
one of the steamer Young's recent
trips to Burlington are just beginning
to leak out. and are furnishing no end
of amusement to the friends of the
fair victims of the joke.
Among the passengers on the trip
was young man who is well known
to the mem bers of the crew. The
latter planned to have a little fun
with him. When he retired to his
state room the boat boys got their
heads together. procured an empty
seltzer bottle, filled it with ice water.
and decided that an arctic bath would
be about as shocking a sensation as
their friend could stand for under the
circumstances.
A chair was placed near the door.
and bottle in hand, one of the lads
assembled, and resting his frosty cargo
on the transom sash, pulled the trig-
ger and let 60 the whole of the con-
tents.
No sooner had the operation been
begun than the screams OF women
were heard. They emanated from
the room that was being flooded with
ice water. This frightened the jokers
and they stealthily made their way to
their respective bunking places to
await developments, for they knew
there was certainly going to be seri-
Gus trouble in consequence of their
blunder.
Presently nearly all the passengers
on the boat were gathered on deck.
The two ladies-who were destined
for Rock Island-told of how they
were awakened from their slumbers
by the cold water. Naturally, they
were indignant. but when it was ex-
planned to them that it was all a mis-
take, they joined with the other pas
sengers in enjoying hearty laugh
over the affair.

cording to directions. | have gained
wonderfully since using them. L feel

my kidneys in good condition.

REGARDING DELINQUENT TAXES.

important opinion on Question by SOlie-
lor General Bartlett.
The following opinion rendered by the
solicitor general concerning the appor-
tionment Of delinquent taxes under the
new law, is OF great Importance and is
self explanatory:
John l.. Burnside, ESQ., Collector Of Grant
County, y, NJ, silver City.
Dear SIT: Your favor OF the 23d Is iusl
received, In which You ask me In regard
10 the appOrtiOnment OF delinquent taxes
under the law OF the late Legislature
council Till No. l2Sl, ana stating that
there was nothing IN regard 10 the trans.
fer Of territorial proportion Of taxes OF
1895. and that il would seem it must
have been the intention of the lagisla-
ture to transfer TO the genera county
and school fund the delinquent taxes II
1895 and 1896 instead Of the taxes OF 1896
and 1891, aud asking my opinion a. to
your official duty IA collector aud treas.
urer with reference to these funds.
While ! am not permitted to give Opin-
ions "a county officers, II IL extremely
important that the actions OF the several
collectors In the territory should be uni-
form on this subject, and Tor that reason,
aud In Orier that they may be all advised
Of my opinion IN the construction OF the
law referred to. ! will state: That sec
ton 10, chapter 90, laws Of 1897, proyid-
Cd that "sll delinquent taxes due 'ha ter
ritory on the lst day Of July, A. Il. 1895,
are hereby declared TO be The property OF
he respective counties. AMI when col.
lected to be paid to the general county
fund"
Section . Of c II No. l2s, approved
March l6, 1899, as follows: THAT all
delinquent taxes for the years 1896 and
1897 be distributed as follows: One.hali
thereof 20 be paid into the general
school fund OF the respective counties In
which they are collected"
The taxes OF 1895 were not delinquent
until January |, 1896. therefore. the act
Of 1897 did not apply 10 that year. aud
the territorial part Of the tax OF the year
1898 must be paid over to the territorial
treasurer for the different funds as levied
for that year. While all taxes delin-
quent prior TO the LIST OF July, 1895, must
be paid into the general county fund.
Under the act Of 1899 the territorial
taxes delinquent for the year 1896 and
1897 are to 90 equally to the general
county and school fund; while the taxes
delinquent in 1898, to the territory. are
TO be paid over TO the territorial treasurer
In the same manner as those delinquent
for the year 1895.
Whatever the intention of the leCis-
lature may have been with reference IA
territorial taxes delinquent for 1895, II
certainly failed 10 express IL 40 that the
tax could he diverted from the original
purposes for which IL was levied.
