shut down for several days started.
Monday morning, on full time. Those
who had been effected by their vacci-

those who have been confined to their
homes by the grip. Yesterdays ex-
perience showed that the work will now
so equalize itself that there need be no
further hindrance in the mills running.

Collector Page reports that money
seems to be scarce, and that the work
of collecting the taxes of the past year
compared with that of 1897 is consider
ably harder, although there were $14,-
900 more to collect in '97. The amount
collected, this year, to date, is within
100000 of last year. and the chances are
that the close of the year will find the
collections nearer to the amount as
sessed than there We're in 81.
