two hundred and seventeen miles Of raj

dollars per mile. Whatever may be SIS

can only be raised by a state board OF

probably quite within bounds to assert
that no other class of property pays tax

worth. This county several years ago
met this very dilemma. The advocates
Of a compliance with the law, in spirit
and letter induced the assessors TO re
turn property at cash value and raised
the assessment from six to eighteen nil
lions. When returns were made to the
state auditor and request preferred by
the county officers that railroad property
in the county be given a corresponding
raise they were met with the very pa

could not without qualification assess
railroad property at fifteen 10 eighteen

that ether property was scaled down TO

SUCCESS
AND TIE STOETAG

The Koran only carries a step
beyond the present, the applica-
ton of a rule of success which is
emphasized every day in this life
- suocesS is largely a matter Of
stomach. From the positive side
this would be rather a difficult
proposition TO prove, because the
man whose stomach is sound
hardly knows that he has a stom-
ach. But the relation between
success and the stomach is easily
shown when the negative side
Of the proposition IS considered.
There are many men stopped on
the highway to success. Some
are total failures, some creep along
and lead half life-but still must
fail Of realizing their largest
ambitions. Why do they fail ]?
Because the stomach has given
out. Food is no longer perfectly
digested and assimilated. Inas-
much as the strength and vigor of
the body are supported by the nour-
ishment derived from digested and
assimilated food, the body becomes
weak for the vital forces are de
pleted) as soon as the stomach and
allied organs fail in supplying
adequate nutrition. Then comes
a total or partial breakdown Of
health.
If there is any one fact which
more than another needs to be
impressed on the rising genera
ton, it is the relation of success
to a sound stomach. It seems a
splendid thing that a young man
shall starve his way through col
lege, that he shall sacrifice his
bodily cravings TO a desire for
knowledge. But is it splendid
when the boy breaks down within
sight of his goal or achieves his
diploma only to be obliged to give
up his future and live the life OF q
valetudinarian?

Arm Injured.

F. F. Korn, an engineer on the

yesterday, the steam valve in some
way sprang open, and the engine
moving forward, caught his arm
in some manner and lacerated the
flesh, laying it open nearly to the
bone. Had it not been for the
timely action of the fireman in
reversing his engine, his arm
would have been severed from the
body
