LAST YEARS SILVER.

Despite the hard limos in tho Old
World, it absorbed an immense
amount OF silver last year. Accord.
ing to the Engineering and Mining
Journal there were immense an,ouDts
used IN the arts. while Iudis, the
Straits OF Settlements, China and
Japan tood 49.350,0OO ounces from
London, l2999.CCO ounces from
America, and 100000 ounces from
Australia. France took good den,
OF bullion to coin, on an agreemen,
OF the countries composing the Latin
union; Russia bought little. but
he production was ussd in the art.
The total production was l9O,OOoOO
ounces, OF which the United States
and Mexico supplied 10000, COO
ounces. The highest price for tb,
year was 6O.68 cents per ounce, the
lowest, in March, $40 cents per
oun'e The average price for the
year was 1925 cents. The Engineer

tile low price is not an evidence that
the cost lIas been reduced; rather

Remembered at Mt. Horeb.

The death of Mrs. Eliza Toay
Bonner is mourned as severe loss
at Mt. Horeb, where she had resided
since her marriage to Mr.. Be lner
last August. The sentiments of the
community We're expressed in ser
mon at that place last Sunday, by
Rev. NJ. f. Holden, pastor of the M
+. church, who said in part: "Our
sympathies are due to Mr. Bonner
and to the boys in their great loss.
The church and town, and especially
the Junior League, were very appre-
ciative of the ready, genial and tall
ented help Mrs. Bonner so often
placed at their disposal. Her short
residence at Mt. Horeb has been like
a CLEAN of sunshine, all too brief, but
it will be remembered by the people
here for years to come. Her last
efforts with us were to prepare the
children for the great Easter pro-
gram, which was so much enjoyed by
us and our unfortunate friends in the
county asylum. But she is called to
higher honor, greater Easter SER
vice, a grander choir, for which her
musical soul was well prepared. We
may join in song again with her

Slightly Higher Taxes Probable.

The statement of bonded indebted
ness of the city as given by the fl
nance committee through the Irib-
une last week is found to be erro-
neous. Our total debt is $4,000, in
stead of $4,000, divided as follows :
$1,000 old r. r.. bond, drawing per
cent interest, $4,000 pulp mill loan
| from the state, drawing per cent.
and $4,000 waterworks bond, drawing
. per cent. The old Il. Il. bond and
$1,000 of the pulp mill loan are due
and payable this month, for which
the common council must make pro-
vision, either get an extension there
on or borrow temporarily the money
to pay them.
i ffc1s' t4fiis ,rs,',E $500 2s}eYs
than last year will be necessary to
meet these obligations and others.
But that is not serious. One-half of
one per cent. (S5 on $1,000 of assess
ment will do it.
The Legislature just closing enacted
u law authorizing tax levies to the
limit of 3l9 per cent, of assessment.
Heretofore the limit was per cent.
This will allow our common council
to raise $500 more taxes than last
year, on the same aggregate valua-
tion-about $5,0O0,000.

A Grateful Testimonial.

About Christmas, 1898, after having
time, my sight was almost gone, and
| applied to local optician for res
lief. He sold me some spectacles
and wore them for few days. My
eyes grew worse, and ] complained
to him. He advised that | should
continue wearing the glasses, and as
sured me that my eyes would be bet
ter. But finding it not so ] applied
to DR., G.. ID. Mcdonald, who treated
my eyes and fitted me with specta-
cles. Under his treatment and using
his glasses, my eyes have steadily
read and do other things as well as
most people of my age-S0 years.
Doctor McDonald's charge was but
nominal, only six dollars for treat
ment and glasses, whereas it might
have been S75.
