First Newspaper Estimates of tho
Dead at Galveston Claimed to
Have been too Conservative.
INCREASE OF $500, 100000.
Assessed Valuation OF the State
of Michigan Already Raised.
That Amount.

e Houston, Tex, Sept. 13.-Captain
Charles Clark, a veteran boat-owner
of Galveston, declares that 10000
persons were killed in this city by
the hurricane and tidal wave. He
has been about ON boats in the wa
ters around Galveston day and night
since the storm and bases his state
ment on what he has thus seen. The
newspaper statements from here
have been too conservative. In their
efforts to guard against extravaganza
or exaggeration the newspaper men
have so far fallen short in their esti-
mates of the loss OF life. Reports at
first placed the dead list at about
1000. Many persons gave much
higher figures. but it was feared
that they were exaggerations, hence
the reporters made allowance for
excited mental conditions, and cut
down the estimates. 1t is beginning
now to be recognized that the big
figures were nearer correct.

Items of Interest Taken From
Our Exchanges and
Condensed.
WAS CAUSED BY CANCERS.
Death of Mrs. ID. w. Sutter, at
Lake Linden, Saturday
Evening.

Mrs. d. W. Sutter, of Lake Lin
den, died at the family residence
Saturday evening last, after an ex-
tended illness. Deceased had been
a great sufferer from a cancerous
growth for many months past, and
although the best of care and medi-
cal aid was given her, the disease
made steady inroad on her constitu-
tion and death came as happy
release, to her long suffering. The
deceased was an early settler on the
lakes, having located in Lake Lin
den about twenty-five years ago,
and was we'll known in Houghton,
Keweenaw and Ontonagon counties.
She leaves husband to mourn, her
demise. A short funeral service
was held at the residence Monday
afternoon and the body sent to
lower Michigan, where interment
took place.
Jacob Brown, the slayer OF Har-
rison Howard, was found guilty Of
murder in the first degree in the
circuit court at Marquette Wednes-
day. The murder was committed
on the road to the Dexter location,
a couple of miles outside of Ishpem-
ing, the evening OF May oath.
Everett Wood, charged with COM
plicity in the Calumet postotfice
robbery Of August, 1897, was con-
victed in the U. S. court at Mar
quette Friday of last week, and
sentenced to five pears at hard labor
in prison.
Lazerus Teto, employed at the

Work of Tax Commission.

The state tax commission, accord
ing to reports from Lansing, has
received returns from all but twenty
townships in the state. 1t is found
that the assessed valuation has been
increased already 5000, 900, 900, be-
side the ST, 900, 900 or slS, 900, 900
added by the tax commission. The
indications are that the commission
will exceed the stakes which were
set when the work of placing the
taxable property OF the state on the
rolls was commenced

taxes, are not debts in the ordinary
acceptance OF that term, and hence,
a common law action of debt will
not lie for their recovery. The
methods of collection are those only
which are authorized by the statute,
and il the statute does not give u
remedy by a process OF civil action,
such action can not be sustained,
except possibly in case of law pro-
viding no means of collection what
ever. Applying this principle to the
case at hand, we find the author tiles
holding that one who carries on the
liquor business, without having paid
for the necessary license, does not
thereby become indebted to the
state or municipality for the amount
of the fee in such sense that it can
be recovered by suit against him.
Counsel for the plaintiffs insist
that there are no methods of collec-
ton contained in the Michigan stat
ute. That the taxes imposed, which
are fixed in amount, belong to the
several municipalities in which the
business is carried on. Whereas,
the penalty, if fine is imposed, for
the infraction of the law without
having first paid the tax, belongs to
an entirely distinct fund and does
not come into the control of the
municipality. 1t is true that there
is no method for the collection of
the tax prescribed by the statute.
But the penalties, imposed for sell
ing without having first paid the
tax, are so severe foe each day S
violation of the law that it is easily
within the power of the municipal
officers, on whom rests the duty to
see that the law is enforced, to en-
tirely prevent the carrying on of
the business upon which the taxes
have not been paid.
''The law providing for the taxa
tion of the business prior to the
statute of 1887 provided a means Of
collecting the tax as we'll as pro-
viding penalties for selling without
having paid the tax. The legislature
in 1887 struck out all means of en-
forcing the collection of the tax and
increased the penalties for selling
without having paid the tax. |
think this action on the part of the
legislature was deliberate and in
territorial; that the design was to

RECREATION AND HEALTH.
Both Can Be Secured at the Indiana Ain
eral Springs, Indiana


eral Springs, Indiana
Like the young man in springtime,
whose fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love-" when summertime comes we
all turn our thoughts to the consider
alton of the important question of
where we shall go for rest, recreation
and health.
There are all kinds of health and
pleasure resorts throughout this broad
land of ours, some of them, unfortu-
nately, anything but what their names
imply. and apparently operated for no
other purpose than to relieve the In
valid and pleasure seeker, financial
". So much so is this the case that
1t is indeed gratifying to the one seek
ing rest and recuperation from the
cares of the business and social world,
as well as the pain racked invalid,
who is fortunate enough to discover a
place where 20 use a popular express
sion. he gets his moneys worth"
One OF the most interesting, pictur-
esque and delightful places in this
country is unquestonably the resort
known as the Magno Mud and Lithia
Water Cure. located at Indiana Mine
raj Springs, Indiana. Here come the
overworked business man, the worn
out devotee Of society and the pro1es-
sional man on the verge of nervous
prostration. as well as the sufferer
from rheumatism, kidney and skin
pecially beneficial. The place is also
largely patroniZed by those who only
seek pleasure and recreation, its loca-
ton making it particularly adapted for
this purpose. There are many roman
tic and beautiful spots aud places of
interest in the vicinity and it would
be hard to find a section of country
containing SO many beautiful drives.
The country is very billy, but the
roads are all graveled and kept in
good condition. This is one of the
things that makes the place especially
attractive to those afflicted with rheu-
matism, as driving is about the only
outdoor pleasure one crippled with
rheumatism can indulge in. Some OF
the cures effected are really marvel
Gus and many who have gone to the
Magno Mud Cure as last resort have
returned home within a few weeks
filed with renewed health and
strength.
The accommodations. service. table
and attendance is all that can be de-
sired and the rates very reasonable
indeed. The Springs is under the able
management Of Major H. L. Kramer
and a postal card inquiry addressed
to him will bring compete detailed
information as we'll as copy OF the
"Mudlavia Magazine" a unique and
interesting publication.

CROPS IN NEBRASKA A.

There is broad smile on the face Of
nearly every farmer in Nebraska, be-
cause Of the satisfactory crop condi-
lions in that remarkable state. In the
northwest drouth has seriously injured
the wheat yield. In the south again
there has been more or less damage,
but in Nebraska they have had sea-
sonable, heavy rains. and not too much
of them.
A full crop Of oats and wheat will
from present indications, be followed
by bumper crop Of corn. During the
past week heavy rains all over the
state have put this crop In fine condi-
ton, and it may break the record.
The expectation is that great num-
bers of people will go to Nebraska
this fall, when the cheap harvest ex-
cursion rates are in effect. to investi-
gate the country and confirm by actual
experience the stories of prosperity so
often heard. The tendency is on the
part of renters, everywhere in the east,
to seek homes beyond the Missouri
river, where land is cheap ad SO very
productive.
