Taxation Discovered.

review of the city recorders books and
is now engaged in other lines of work

years and no assessment made
upon the property. He states that this
will amount to several hundred dollars

been congratulating themselves on hav.

it can be found in five minutes.

Minneapolis each week to do some work
there, but will now devote his entire
time to the city's books until they are

GROWING WORSE.
Hueszy is Gradually Failing and Cannot
Survive Long.

and the lower lobe of the right lung is
now infamed, making condition of
double. pneumonia. He was delirious
all of last night, and it is difficult for
him to take nourishment. On the
other hand his temperature is not high.
In his delirium the nurses have noticed
that he often acts as though he was
struggling with some one or was trying
to keep some one away, and it is be-
lieved that the assault made upon him
continually excites his brain. 1t is not
thought that he can survive long, al
though he is making gallant fight for
life.
