WILL LOOK BEFORE THEY LEAP.
Marshfield Will Now Investigate the Tax
Question Before Rushjnu Into Court.

The REPORTER admits that valua-
tiOns were fixed this year on an
entirely new basis regardless of
valuations of any previous year. The
whole story in nutshell is that last
spring the assessors Of the county
were urged to make assessments at
full value, and some of them, believing
that the work as outlined would be
honestly carried out, did SO. Marsh
fields assessor hewed to the line as
did also those of many of the towns
1t is believed here that advantage
was taken of this to urge a new
basis for fixing valuations at one
half of the assessors figures; even in
the face of the fact that it is known
the assessors figures in some cities
and towns are ScandalOuSly unfair.
The News hopes that within a very
short time it may be able to give some
figures SO that fair comparison can
be made, and trusts that the COM
mittee to be appointed by Mayor
VOllmar will investigate values closely
and carefully. If they find that no
injustice has been done, then we'll and
good, but if they find. as is generally
supposed, that our city has been

it would be plain duty to ask for a
tax xcommission-Marshtield News.
1t seems that light is beginning
to dawn on our neighbors in Marsh
field. They will not rush into court
with their grievances until they see
whether they have any or not. 1t is
brilliant idea, and we dare say that
the more they investigate the less
inclined they will be to ask for a tax
commission. for the very good reason
that MarShfield came out of the
equalization ordeal with flying colors
and could hope for no better results
at the hands of an unbiased tax
commission. 1t seems natural to say.
however. that before registering such
a strenuous kick it would have been
prudent to have first aScertained
what they were kicking at.

They Swindle Farmers,

One of the smootheSt swindling
games ever worked in this section of
the state is now gaining fresh victims
daily. Men are canvasSing the rural
district with blanks similar to those
of tie census taker with a claim to
want additional products. At the
lower end of the paper is blank space
under which the farmer isTequired to
sign. This blank part is cut off and a
nice, neat, promissory note is printed
in, filled out in ink and sold to the
nearest bank. Be on your guard,
farmers, and very careful what you
sign. One of the victims lives in the
town of Rudolph.

NJ. A. Bogoger on Monday bought
the furniture stock of I. B. Lain &
Co.. and added it to his own, making
him probably the largest stock in
town. This was the best disposition
to make of the matter, as to sell the
stock out AZ cost would ruin the
furniture business in the town for
some time to come.

tn be one Of the most fortuneate dis.
cCveries in medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds and all lung troubles of

perimental medicine, but has stood the
test for years, giving satisfaction in
every case, which its rapidly increas-
Ing sale every season confirms. Two
million bottles sold annually. Bos-

THE LAST OF THE BUFFALOES.

The American bison is dying with
the century. According to a computa-
ton which has just been made as to
the number still in existence. only a
little over 1000 OF them are left.
These are scattered through private
collections, city parks, geological gar
dens and a few government preserves.
In the neighborhood Of 200 of them, it
is intimated, are running wild to the
west of Great Stake lake. in Canada.
Both in Canada and in the United
States they are now practically ex-
tinct. Fewer of them by far were ever
in Canada than We're in this country,
but in Canada, too. they have virtually
disappeared.
These buffalOes are all that are
left OF the immense herds. numbering
many millions, which roamed over the
plains between the Mississippi and
the Pacific in such numbers as to
amaze the earlier explorers and which
were found even east of the Alleghen-

MccIure's Magazine for December.


The curious charm of the east holds
every imaginative mind that from
afar dreams of its mysteries. The
like charm interpreted in part by ex-
p%erience. yet only the more subtly per-
~sistent, dominates those that have
dwelt long in the Orient. In this treas
ure-field lie richest gems, as well of
realism as of romance, ready for that
author who has the art of their setting.
Rudyard kipling won his first fame by
short stories of life in India. stories
at times tragically prosaic. at times
marvellous and mystical, always preg-
nant with force. And now again Kip
ling has chosen India as the theme of
his maturest work. In McClure's
Magazine for December appears the
first installment of kim" the latest
and important novel from Kip,
ling's pen. From the beginning it re,
veals itself as a masterpiece, worthy
alike of its theme and of it's author.
