A CHILD HEROINE.
Fl Tribute From the State Press to the Mem
ory of Little Jennie Thompson.

Fl Tribute From the State Press to the Mem
ory of Little Jennie Thompson.
From the Grand Forks Plaindealer:-
There was pathos unutterable in that
accident at Osnabrock few days ago, in
which a sweet little miss gave her young
llfe-that twitterlng bird might live.
Her brother had raised rifle, taking
aim at the little songster hopping about
the dooryard. Instantly the child step
ped between the weapon and the bird. A
moment later the fatal shot had been fired.
The heroism of the artless child is the
heroism that causes the eyes to brim over
with tears and the heart to grow heavy
with sorrow. It differs from the heroism
of the battle hell, but Is none the less
beautifully sublime
For greater love hath no man than this
Jennie Thompson, aged nine, heroine.
The Osnabrock tragedy recalls few
lines from a set of beautiful verses re-
Gently co trlbuted by Susan E. Gammons
to the columns of Our Dumb Animals.
They will appeal to lovers OF the feather
ed tribe:
A chirp, a twitter, a fash OF wings,
-Four wide open mouths in nest;
From morning till night she bring and brings
For growing birds, they are hungry things
Ay! hungry things at the best.
Tho crack of rifle shot we'll sped;
A crimson stain on the grass;
Four hungry birds in nest unfed-
Ali! we'll, we will leave the rest unsaid:
Some things it We're better to pass.

Many hearts are aching with indescrib-
able sorrow precipitated by the most hor-
rible accident that ever happened in this
community. resulting in the death OF
Attorney W. j. Thompson and tempor-
ary prostration OF George P. Gibson, his
partner in business.
The accident happened about l:3O
O'Clock Monday afternoon. Those who
happened to be in close proximity to the
scene of the tragedy heard muftled re-
port OF a gun and saw George Gibson
rush out of the office and bareheaded
run up street shouting, .."Where is doc
tor? Thompson is shet!' Vim. Pickley,
J. r. Mears and VIM. Robinson rushed
into the office OF Thompson 4 Gibson,
where sight met their gaze which
brought a deathlike pallor to the face OF
every observer. There limp and lifeless
lay the form OF Vim. J.. Thompson on
the floor in a huge OF pool OF his own life
blood, the last drops OF which were then
oozing from CHASTITY woundin his chest
directly over the heart. No physician or
other human agency could help his case.
He was dead.
J. R. Mears telegraphed Coroner Sem
pie and he came down from Langdon on
the afternoon train. After making dill
ligent inquiry he decided that no official
inquest or postmortem was necessary
as from all the information that could
be CLEANED there could ben question as
to either the cause OF death and that it
was purely accidental. He returned to
Langdon on the freight in the evening.

CITY CONTROLLERS REPORT.

The handsomely printed report OF Con-
troller Il. NJ Johnson for the year which
ended Dec. 81. 1888. contains many matters
which should interest those who live in the
city. since. directly or indirectly, all are
taxpayers. The controller in his introduce
tory remarks says the permanent bonded
debt of the city Jan. 1, 1882 81 80.
In his report made two years earlier he
shows that the permanent bonded debt was
81, 424.JC0 This shows an increase of perma-
nent debt in two years OF $6O6.OO0. The con-
troller further shows that the debt can be
increased SSos.6S3 before reaching the con-
stitutional limit. The available cash Jan. !,
1885, was $ii5,6O3.40; Jan. l. 1885, it was ST.
346.11. 1t is probable that the $3.50, OO00 re-
ceived for the sale of park bonds was in
Guided in the earlier amount of available
cash. Not only has the bonded debt been
increased i2l2 per cent the past two years.
but, according TO the controllers figures, the
current expenses of the city have been in
creased from s762. $50 during the year 1896 10
$944625 during 1880, or almost "a per cent
The extension of the city is responsible for
some portion Of this increase, but by no
means for the whole of it. In 1881, when the
assessed valuation of the property was $685.
0S5.S5O. the city levy was 81 cents per 500;
in 1898. with an assessed valuation of $119.-
S56.6S0 the city levy was 10 cents-a fact
faster than taxable property In fact,
Mayor Taggarts four years will make
period of debt and tax expansion without
parallel i'm recent years.
The report contains table which is sig
nificant because il shows the gradual
growth of taxation aside from improve
ment in the city and county. II is a table
showing the tax levy on each 500 for State,
county, school, city and township purposes
from 1891 TO 1855. both included Deducting
the tax for sinking fund, the State tax has
not increased materially. In 1891 the county
levy was - cents per 500 on a valuation of
SS3 $50; in 1898 il was 40 I-3 cents on a
valuation of $119 S56,GSO. The most remark
able increase is in the school levy, which
was q cents in 1891 on valuation of $685.
5S5,95c. and last year was "A cents OH a vaIu-
alton of Sis, S56.6S0. With this striking in
crease of taxation there mas been large
increase of the school debt. In 1891 the city
levy was 30 cents on s93,595930; last year it
was 20 cents ON $ll9 S56.6sO. The township
levy has stood at L cent on the SlOO The
total levy in the city in 1881 was $l55 OH
valuation of 1913, $50; last year it was SIS
on valuation of $l19. $3.50. The State levy
has fallen off ) Is cents; the township has
not changed, but the county has been in
creased 1-3 cents. the school IL cents and
the city 10 cents since 1891. Such figures are
worth studying.

whose movements she was said to follow
as a shadow.
Crowds of the natives visited the walls
after the arrival of the steamer on Wednes-
day to take a good look at the ship that
had kept them in such dread. 1t was almost
shutdown when the anchor of the Paris
dropped into the open sea more than half
a mile off Moro Fortress. The signal flags
run up before answering signals were waved
from the ramparts. People on the ship could
see summer-garbed army girls waving
greetings TO them, while from MORO crest
the stars and stripes offered them an Amer
lean welcome to this tropical island, far
from home. AT O'Clock Thursday morning
the first ones to visit the ship after the
health officer were Majors Flshback and
Little. Soon after came Brigader General
Fred d. Grant, with two aids.
BY the time a hasty breakfast had been
dispatched the ships boats were launched
and dashed 10 the steam launch. More than
half of the passengers prepared to go
ashore. The sea was rough and considerable
difficulty was experienced in entering the
boats. General Grant took with him in the

most of the party. Colonel Butler, OF Buff
