Illinois District.

There have been light rains on SIX DAYS
out of eight. 1t is good on corn ano
Grass but not very favorable for stacking
and threshing. There are but few JOBS
threshed vet on account Of the shocks
being too wet. Nearly all the wheat De
tween South Haven and Wellington was
standing in shock last week. There was
but little stacked.
Never seen corn look better this time
of wear in Kansas. 1t is in roasting ear
now and has a dark green color with no
dead blades.
We are glad to see the success that the
county attorney and his assistant are
having in closing up the joints When
will they get ready to close them up
there in Wellington? Let no guilty one
escape!
One of the "shot gun washers" can,
vassed this neighborhood recently and
succeeded in selling several of his tunnels
at $500 each. If any of your readers 90
not wish to pay that price for one, let
them 90 to any timer and get a plain
funnel made out of strong tin and put a
handle in it. It will cost you from rs to
90 cents and will do as good work as the
$500 one.
Whv not have Farmers Institute" "
at Rome next winter? There is good
hall there to hold one in and plenty OF
intelligent farmers to carry on such an
institution.
There are three school districts between
South Haven and Wellington that have
from six to ten scholars each.
The appraisers divided the Ray farm
last week. They allowed the widow the
north So acres and the Ray heirs the
south So acres. Mrs. Ray has been up
from her home in Blackwell visiting her
old neighbors and attending to her share
of the crop. Ed Stger will still farm the
place.
Some of the weeds along the roads are
cut and some are not. Farmers are too
busy to cut weeds now.
The Hunnewell railroad is being eX-
tended to Blackwell and Perry. The
work and supply trains are passing at all
hours, day and night. 1t looks lively to
what it used to when there was but one
car day passed over the road and that
one was due way in the night.
About month ago the late cherry
trees shed their leaves until they LOOKED
as bare as in winter. Now they have tht
second crop Of new leaves which az
nearly grown.

Now Ycnr,s Greeting 1900.

IT is customary yearly III this land Of the blest
To extend friendly greetings the first of the
year,
SO do not be worried it's only n Jest,
That l offer you now III the way of good cheer
The station Agent is the gist Of my song:
The man who's responsible II awnings wrong
The man who is burdened with multiplied bosses,
The man who is charged, with all OF the loses.
The Auditor kicks if REPORTS are delayed,
The Superintendent thinks they are all over
paid,
The Freight Claim Agent with fendish glee,
Says Charge him the LOIS on this o. S. and D."
The Agents up early a9l works until late,
All the time scheming hIw to get more freight
He lies upon his dOwny 3oueh and dreams that
he's been praised,
And as a recognition 1at his salary's been
raised,
He wakes and finds the idage true,
In fact it never variesl
That dreams except a vtry few,
Go always by contrarifs.
When death DER takes abd beyond he awakes,
And knocks upon the door,
And Saint Peter looks u1on his books,
To figure up his scored
He trembling asks if amdng the tasks
In the beautilulland Of gold,
Is there no escape from lustling for freight,
Must | do this as of old
Have you SuperintendeHts and General Freigh
Agents,
Claim Agents and Auditors here?
If this is so, I will go below;
must keep my conscience clear.
Saint Peter the while looks down with q smile,
And takes him by the land,
Saying, Never fear, there's none OF them here'
Come in and join our band"

The ship builders and ship owners
went to Washington on Tuesday to
make a raid on the peoples treasury,
in advocating Mr.. Hanna's bill to give
ship owners a subsidy out of the treas.
ury to run their ships to foreign lands.
There is a law now that prohibits fore
ign built ships from being registered in
this country so that they can be sailed
under the American flag. That is to
protect ship builders. 1t is claimed
that the cost of running ships under
our flag is so much more than under
foreign flags that they can't compete
with foreigners and American shipping
has been driven off the sea so that we
now carry only 10 per cent of our fore
ion commerce. 1t is claimed the sub
sidy wanted will only pay this extra
expense to meet competition. Our
manufacturers exported last year more
than ever before and competed with
foreigners. Farmers who raise rs per
cent OF our export products have to
compete with foreign farmers and the
cheapest labor. Why not give them a
bounty out of the treasury

A Simple Inauguration.

Foster NJ. Voorhees, has remained
firm in his desire to avoid an ostenta-
ti0us display on the occasion of his in
duction into the office of Governor of
New Jersey. No great political hosts
will march to the strains of brass bands.
The Governor elect desired to take the
oath of office in the State House, but
he was persuaded that this was wholly
impracticable, owing to the lack of
room. He therefore conceded the point,
and the Inauguration will take place in
Taylor's Opera House.
AT noon on Tuesday, next, the Chief
Justice of New Jersey will dominate
an assemblage of representative citizens,
officials of the State, Senator'S and AS
semblymen. Justice Magic will admin.
lister the oath of office to Mr.. Voorhees,
and Acting Governor Watkins will
formally deliver to him the great seal
of State.
The Governor will then make an ad.
dress in which he will touch upon the
important affairs of state which will
require the attention of the administra-
ton, though leaving his detailed recon-
mendations to a formal message which
he will send to the Legislature, and
which will supplement the message

Senator Caffrey agrees with Senator
Vest, that a colonial policy is against

in a speech, that to establish n would

from his speech sounds good, and, if
there were no contented English colon
les, might be convincing: 1.-The history
of the world shows that God has set
the bounds where the different people
of the earth shall abide. When l look
at the condition of the world, l am I'M

Henry l.. Budd, Secretary of the
State Board of Horticulture, in a
speech before the society in Trenton
last week favored trusts. The reasons
given were that they had reduced the
price of several articles of great use in
the last twenty five years. II Mr.. Budd
would get from behind his partisan
glasses and study trusts of recent date
he will find that they have increased
prices, or kept them from falling IN The
past five years, by controlling the prices
of raw materials and controlling the
price to consumers by restricting pro-
duction and killing competition. That
is what they are formed for. He adv0-
Gates farmers forming a trust. That is
impossible. The farmers are at the
mercy of all. They are the first pro-
ducers of raw material and the consum-
er also of manufactured goods and are
squeezed at both ends. Now the prices
Of the farmers products have fallen
greatly in the past twenty five years
and so has the price of his land. There
has been no trust to control them nor
no overproduction of land. The cause
has been because Of the change in the
money which measures prices, Mr..
Budd can not comprehend that.

What is regarded as one OF the most
important decisions rendered by the
State Board OF Taxation was made
Tuesday in the case of an appeal from
an assessment levied against the Nights
town Electric Light and Power Com
pany by the tax assessor of IIlghtstown
Borough. The c%onbpany claimed eX-
emption under AM ordinance of the
Borough Council, by the terms of
which the company was promised ex
emptiou from taxation, provided it
located its plant nI:fe>5 9.d6gh.
The Borough Assessor believed the
alleged exemption Illegal, and proceed
ed to assess the company's property the
same as if the ordinance purporting to
grant the exemption did not exist,
hence the appeal
When the matter came before the
board for final heating Tuesday, Presi
dent Lent2 and his colleagues on the
State Board agreed with the contention
of the local Assessor and dismissed the
appeal OH the grouhd that the Borough
Council of nightstown had no legal
right to pass an ordinance granting the
exemption. The right to grant exemp-
tion, the board held, is vested solely in
the State.
The effect of this. decision, it is said,
will be far reaching, because there are
many individuals and corporations
operating various blants in different
sections of the State which claim ex-
emption under SINH ar circumstances.
In many cases these exemptions have
been allowed for years. They were
granted originally to induce. the lOca.
ton Of certain INDUSTRIES in different
sections, and now, 1t is found, exemp-
ton of this character will have to cease
