CITY TAXES COLLECTED.
OVER ONE-THIRD. OR SLIGO, 900,
PAID IN THREE DAYS.

Collector w. l.. Baker and his depu-
ties We're busy last week. For the
three last days of October the City
Collectors office was crowded with cit
liens trying to pay their taxes in or
der to avoid the penalty.
Thus the amounts collected on the
three days, when the citizens were
suddenly aroused TO the necessity of
paying, were as follows:
Monday, October 29th. .......S 26,6202 81
Tuesday October Goth. 40. 81
Wednesday, October Slst..... SS,459.00
Total .......... .... slGO, 32l. IS
This represents what was collected
in those three last days, only. The
whole tax for the year 1900 is S42O,0 600
in the aggregate. Some of that
amount, great proportion perhaps.
had been paid before; some of it, a
comparatively small proportion. will
be delinquent, and, perhaps. will not
be paid at ALL
Collector Baker says that large
proportion of the taxpayers are be-
coming prompt in the payment of
taxes every year. That indicates,
conversely, that there is a compare
lively smaller number of delinquents,
and the taxes therefore are more care
fully collected than heretofore.
Collector Baker says. also. that a
larger proportion than usual of person.
al taxes. including poll taxes, have
been collected this year than usual.
One feature of the collection was the
accuracy with-Mhich it was done.
Thus. on Tuesday, there was a dis
crepancy of only four cents in the to-
tai of 45,242.37. That was afterward
accounted for by revenue stamps used
on bank checks.

KILLED BY PLAYMATES.
An Eight Year-0ld Boy AecidenIiy
Shot While Playing With His
Comrades.

Last Sunday, Harold, the eight'year'
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. p. &. Taylor OF
Mt. Pleasant, went down TO his father
drug store with him and then went ont
back OF the store to play with a couple OF
older bows by the name of Walker.
When the father went home he couid
not be found and it was supposed he had
gone 10 some of the neighbors, but
search failed 10 learn anything OF the
little fellow until late that evening when
under some barrels and boxes III the rear
OF the drug store he was found dead'
shot through the heart. The two boys
he had been playing with were AT once
found and as they would not make any
statement they were locked up. Later
they made confession that they had
secured a revolver from the bank where
their father was at work cleaning ana
supposing all the cartridges were out,
boy fashion commenced pointing II at
one another and making believe shoot.
Little Harold was sitting on moving
machine seat when one OF the boys point
ed it at him aud pulled the trigger with
the result that the gun went eft, the
bullet entering the body just above the
heart. Frightened at what they had
done the two boys attempted 10 conceal
the body and covered it up with the
boxes and barrels. The funeral was
held on Wednesday. AT the coroners
request il was found that the boy came
to his death by the accidental discharge
of the revolver in the hands of James
Walker The two Walker boys Willis
and James, are - and Ii years old re
specuvely. The parents are nearly wild
with grief and have the sympathy of the
entire community.
The two boys concerned were taken
70 the reform school at Lansing Wednes-
