THE INCREASED TAX VALUATIONS
A STATEMENT FROM COMMISSIONERS SAL
MON AND PATTERSON.


Commissioners Salmon and Patterson OF the Tax
Department yesterday united In statement aoout
the methods employed by the Board In equall1ins
assessn,ents throughout the enlarged city They
said that Brooklyn people must not lose sight OF
the fact that there had been longer period man
usual since assessment rolls were revised IN that
boroueh and that assessed valuations had not been
raised in the borough for some time. In regard 10
personal property assessments In Brooklyn they say
"it ia we'll known that heretofore gross injustice
has been done" by failure TO collect personal taxes
from many persons. The remarks or the Commits
sioners are apparently intended TO prepare owners
OF Brooklyn property for the revelation which VIII
come when the tax books are opened on Monday
All that is known at present Is that the assessed
valuations OF property 10 be raised over $500 Co.,
COO in tho city In order that the citys debt limit
may be increased. but the remarks of the Com
missioners indicate that Brooklyn property-owners
will have some disagreeab!e surprises on Monday.
II the Brooklyn property owners are TO have a
nightmare. however. the property -owners In Man
haitian will have reason to smile over the tax
books Judging by the cone fusion OF the statement
nv the commissioners follows:
I'm conclusion II may be said that owing to the
conditions which have come by reason OF the con-
solidaon OF the various boroushs into the greater
city and OF the requirements OF the greater charter
I'm regard TO the equalization OF values II neces-
sarly follows that the Borough OF Manhattan must
bear the burden OF increased valuations"

them than he would be OF some danger

HE KNEW THE ROPES


Litigation Over Land.
It's the canny old bird that cannot
be caught with the bird lime of lltiga-
ton.
You've probably heard OF Lawyer
Hackett of Somerset. A little while
ago he purchased some land over
which there had been lawsuit for
years. until the parties had spent half
a dozen times what the land was worth
Ilackett knew all about II. Some OF
the people wondered why he wanted to
get hold OF property with such an incu-
bus OF uncertainty on 1t. Others
thought that perhaps he wanted some
legal knitting work and would pitch In
redhot to fight that line fence question
ON his own hook.
That's what the owner OF the adjoin-
Ing land thought, says the Baltimore
Herald. So he braced himself for
trouble when he saw Hackett coming
across the fields one day.
Said Hackett: Where's your claim
here. anyway, as to this fence?"
II insist" replied the nelghbor, that
your fence Ia over my land two feet
at one end and one foot at least at the
other end"
"Vii' YOU kO

your fence over. At the end where you
say that ! encroach on you two feet.

AT the other end push It onto my land
two feet.
But" persisted the neighbor. that's
twice what | claim"
Il don't care about that" said Hack
cit. There's been fight enough over
this land. | want you to take enough
so you are perfectly satisfied you have
got your rights, and then we can get
along all pleasantly. Go ahead and
help yourself"
The man paused. abashed. He had
been ready to commence the old strug-
gle tooth and nall. But this move Of
the new nelghbor stunned him. Yet
he wasn't to be outdone In generosity
He looked ut Hackett.

Who Is to Blame?

Kidney trouble has become so prev
alent that it is not uncommon for a
child to be born afflicted with weak
kidneys.
If the child urinates too often, if
the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when
the child reaches an age when it
should be able to control the passage,
and it is yet afflicted with bed-wet-
ting, depend upon it, the cause of the
difficulty is kidney trouble, and the
first step -shouldaail towards the
treatment of these important or
gans. This unpleasant trouble is
due to a diseased condition of the kid
neys and bladder and not habit as
most people suppose.
If the adult has rheumatism; pain
or dull aches in the back, if the water
passes in irregular intervals or has a
bad odor; if it stains the linen or ves-
sci the color of rust; if the feet SWELL;
if there are puffy or dark circles I'M
der the eyes; your kidneys are the
cause and need doctoring. Treat
ment of some diseases may be delayed
without danger, not so with kidney
disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
promptly cures the most distressing
cases. Its mild and extraordinary eff
feet is soon realized Sold by drug
gists in flfty-cent and dollar Sizes

From Fridays Daily.
The fire at the oil tank is now out
and things have settled down to their
accustomed composure in that neigh
borhood. The bottom OF the tank
was saved but only two rings remain.
| The rest was burnt and melted of.
The fire burned until late on Thurs
day before it had run out of material
to feed itself upon. All day Thurs
day people were going out to see it
and great many went out on Thurs
day evening after supper TO take
look at the scene and see how badly
things had been damaged.
The loss will not be very heavy on
the Eureka people who will lose only
the cost of the tank and the work of
the men who were employed to build
levees when il was thought that every
thing would be over whelmed. The
oil burned will be made up on all the
people who have oil in the line and
they will be charged up their pro-rata
share OF 1t.
People TO the north of us did not
know what to make of the fire and in
Uniontown they thought it was Fair

for miles around saw the blaze and
10 some eases they knew what was
going on while in others they thought
that Morgantown was on fire. The
sight was seen for many miles in every
direction.
Billy st. Clair is getting better
right along and there will be no ser-
Gus or permanent damage done to his
hearing which is nearly restored now.
AT first it was feared that the cannon
had ruined his hearing. His burns
are getting along all right and it will
only be few days until they are well.
The mystery of how the cannon went
of may never be discovered. The
man who was at the vent declares
that he was thumbing 1t well and
that the fire coming out of the vent
burned through his handkerchief aud

it went off lie was an experienced
man and would certainly not move

very much pleased that the damage
was no worse and felt that the men

The Charges Denied.

The first sergeant of Co. G, late
Second West Virginia volunteers,
who is now in business at Parkers-
burg says there is no truth in the
charge made by a Fredericktown,
O., lawyer, that private Gauthier of
his company died from severe treat
ment inflicted by an officer. Gau-
thier, he says died from pneumonia
fever contracted while absent from
camp without leave. He says that
while Gauthier fell by the roadside
on a march near Camp Meade that
it was because he was intoxicated
and that he was properly cared for
and assisted by the very officer whom
he afterwards accused of mistreat-
ing him. He also says that the law
yer who now brings the charge is a
descrter from the same company.
