Hallock is in a state of quarantine
owing to an epidemic of diphtheria. The
reports from there are very bad and we
hope are exaggerations. Diptheria is
epidemic in several towns in the state
and every parent should take the utmost
care of any sore throat SYMPTOMS among
the children. We wonder if our warm
November was not somewhat responsible
for the outbreaks of diptheria.

There is new wrinkle in "Uncle Toms

which is ransacking the state of New Jer-
sey for audiences, has hit upon the device of
buying refrigerating machine and using
real blocks of ice in the scene in which Eliza,
pursued by pack of barking mongrels,
crosses the river carrying in her arms a
stuffed doll.
The icemaking machine has proved an
enormous success. At the Ridgewood opera

before the performance and placed on the
green baize river. They were carefully sand
ed on the, surface, so that when Eliza made
her grand dash for liberty she would not
turn undignifed somersaults. The ice ma
chine, however, had been so largely adver-
tised that yokels wanted to see it. They
sat in their places after the curtain de.
scended upon the solemn death of Little
Eva and howled for the ice machine to come
out and show itself. The stage manager
and a couple of deck hands had to carry it
down to the footlights. Then they turned
the handle and, amid uproarous applause,
the machine produced a cake of real ice.

scene opens couple of southern spectators
are discovered experimenting with the

having any immediate use for it turn it into
the river, and it sits upon the river surface
at proper intervals to- accommodate Eliza 8

It u explained that this course has been
i suggested by reason of a decision recent
ly rendered by the supreme court Of
Iowa, in which 1t was held that gross
earnings tax upon insurance companies
Was unconstitutional. Inasmuch as the
constitution of the state of Iowa is en-
tyely different from that Of Minnesota
y Is not easy to conceive why the Duluth
people should obtain the impression that
ithe1r proposed action would be success
full. n 42sa%
The railway gross earnings tax has
been in vogue In Minnesota many years
and has proved highly satisfactory in the
main, and it would be rather surprising
II supreme court could be found to
sanctlon any decision declaring it uncon-
stltutional. 1t is known, however, that
Duluth is eager to abrogate the system
ana substitute some method which would
! be Of benefit to itself.
= IN St. Louis county there are enormous
railroad interests. and it would mean
thousands. of dollars Of taxes in the
treasury Of the county. In fact, any sys-
tenn of direct taxation, under which the
taxes would be paid into the treasures
OF the different counties, would be of
great benefit to all large cities, the larger
the city, the greater the benefit.
