AT A coIoRED CAMP MEETING.
DON'T Fret Under Your Burden, Says
DIR. ToIIiver.

DIR. T0lliver.
Yesterday was q banner day at the col
ored camp meeting grounds located in
Connecticut Avenue extended. a short dis
tance southeast of Chevy Chase Circle
The meeting was largely attended, and
the religious exercises most enthusiastic
cally participated in. The afternoon ex-
hortation was delivered by the Rev. DR..
Tolliver formerly of Texas, and now pastor
OF Liberty Baptist Church, in this city.
DIR. Tolliver discoursed in a very enter
tanning and forceful style on the necessity
of mot a frettin' under yo' burden" as
he put il. He commented on the poverty
OF his race, and concluded that subject by
saying "the white folks and the devil has
fixed things so that niggers never need to
fret about being kept out Of heaven by
too much wealth
He deplored the prevalence of Iynchings,
and commented on the rumor that Congress
was TO legislate so that no foreigner could
be lynched in this country. ITO have laws
so that nobody but American born citizens
can be lynched in this country" said DR..
Tolliver, would be a great thing for the
colored race. 1t would bring the matter
to the atteIRon Of the thinking people of
the country, and would do much to put a
stop to the practice altogether" DR.. Toll
livers words were delivered in rather a
mirthful strain. He interspersed his ideas
with typical camp meeting songs, which
he dictated line at time In advance OF
their rendition by the congregation. The
camp meeting is to continue throughout
the month, and the pulpit will be filed
Sunday afternoons and evenings by local
colored preachers.

BANNER DAY FOR TAXES
More Than Thirty-Five Thousand
Dollars Came In.
BIGGEST DAY OF THE YEAR
Anaconda Alone Has Contributed Nearly
Twenty Thousand to the Total
Cole ctions to Date-Only a
II Few Days Left,

With the end of the present month ap-
proaches the delinquency date of the
county tax, when all citizens who have
failed to contribute their shares to the
credit side of Deer Lodge *county's ex-
pense account will fall under the dis
pleasure of the law. Yesterday was the
banner day of 1899 in county tax col
lection $55,6i0.72 being paid in at County
Treasurer Twohy's office between the
hours of a. m. and O. clock in the even
ing. Were it not for the recent SUI
preme court decision in the Flathead
county case, declaring the 4-mill special
school tax levy Illegal. yesterday would
have broken all previous tax collection
records of this county,
This years total levy for Deer Lodge
county is 2S12 mills. Last years was
3l1a mills, inclusive of the special 4-mill
school tax mentioned; so that 1895 levy
is three mills less than 1888. This
years levy is apportioned as follows:
For the city of Anaconda, 10 mills: for
the state 2la mills; (speciaD for school
bonds interest, district No. 10, ~ mills;
for the county (generaD 14Ia mills; total
2S1a mills, to be collected from the peo-
pie of Anaconda.
Last year the total tax collected from
Anaconda amounted to 43,SS5.43; this
year to date $19,S72.52 has been collected
of which amount $1S,11.24 was paid in
during the present month.

mains more or less constant. Otherwise,
how would 1t be possible for the blood
hound, for instance, to take the trail CT
an Individual and follow it for miles
through crowded thoroughfares as well
as through open country and unerringiy
pick out the individual from among
hundreds of others?
This idea has recently received a sig
nal verification, as we are told by DR.
Bett in the Archiv der Gesammten
Physiologle. The doctor states that a
friend of his, with bandaged eyes and
every precaution against collision, was
enabled. by the sense of smell alone, to
recognize persons with whom he was
acquainted and to call their names the
moment that they came into the room
and at the distance of several PAGES.
The experiments were varied in a num-
of ways. but with the unerring faculty
of the bloodhound this man detected
the identity Of every individual present
ed. Other instances of similar keen
ness are cited by DIR. Bett. According 10
the man who gave the exhibition, every
family has a characteristic odor COM
mon to all the members thereof, but the
intensity of which usually varies suffi-
GENTLY among the various members TO
enable him to distinguish each individ-

black Boer "tabaken' is extremely
