WHEN THE CHANGERS COMPLAIN.

Tho land owners Of Ohio, principally
the farmers, are raising protest
against the high valuations that are
being placed upon their property for
tax purposes by the real estate mp.
praIsers and local boards of equaliza-
tlon
In nearly every case the owners
complain that the tax value fixed is
far in excess of what 1t should be,
considering the fall in the market
value of their property.
For more than quarter of cen.
tury majority Of the people of the
country have been voting TO sustain
II policy of currency contraction that
increases the purchasing power of
money and reduces the value of all
their property aud products which
money measures,--a policy, as Mr.. Me
kinley said In his Toledo speech, that
has tended to make money scarce
and therefore dear, and all things else
cheap
These property owners are just be,
ginning 10 find out that the market
valuation Of their property has very
little 10 do with It's tax valuation; that
the rate of taxation is determined
more by the necessities of tho city or
county which levics the tax than by
any equitable rule that should deter
mine ufo property's assessment, For
while the depreciation Of property has
been going on, the salaries of public
officials nnd current expenses of the
city and county have not been reduced
IN the least, and II follows that there
can bo no reduction in the amount
at which the property is taxed.
An excellent way for the owners of
farms aud small properties to continue
10 bring these hardships upon them Is
TO vote next fall Tor the same old ii.
nancinl policy that has made money
scarce aud dear and all things which
money measures, cheap" Let them
vote To sustain the county officials who
have organized To prevent reduc.
tion Of their cXorbitnnt salaries. Vote
this way next fan, aud every year for
the next decade they will have tho
privilege Of complaining when the as.
SCISSOR comes around, but they win en-
JOY no reduction Of their taxes, nor an
increase In the market valuation of
their property.

Hon. Josiah q. Bellows Found Helpless

Hon. Josiah G. Bellows, one of the most
prominent men in this part of the Connec-

the floor of the Walpole Savings bank, of
which he is treasurer, in a helpless condi-
ton, unable to speak but perfectly con-

which Mr.. Bellows was able to touch after
he was stricken. Mr.. Bellows is so years
old, and has held many positions of trust
and honor. He has been member of the
New Hampshire board of railroad commits

down nearly every other institution of the

Body Not That OF Miss Teehan.

Although nearly all the other papers
made the erroneous statement last week
that the body of the drowned woman
found at Westmoreland was that of Miss
Kate Teehan, the statement in The Phoenix
that it had not been so identified was the
correct one. The sister, Mrs. Dennis Dris-
lane, who went to Westmoreland at the
time, found some points of identification
which seemed to make it possible it was
her sister, but she also found others against
such theory which could not be controvert-
ed, and it was fully decided it was not Miss
Teehan, and that nothing further would be
done regarding it. The relatives of Miss
Teehan are fully in the belief that the
missing girl will be heard from and that
she is alive and well.

fact that with two or three games a week

at Hartford Yesterday.
Many Bellows Falls friends of Charles H.
Hoyt, the play wright, are interested in his
VARYING fortunes, and certainly in the de
velopments of the last few days, and the
CONSEQUENT excitement at Charlestown,
his summer home. He has been occupying
his residence there for the past five or six
weeks. Monday people came on from New
York, and claiming his mind 10 be unbal-
anced induced him to 90 to New York with
them Tuesday it is claimed, in an under
handed manner. Dispatches Wednesday
brought the information that he had been
placed in a retreat for the insane Promi-
nent citizens of Charlestown and his init
mate friends believing him to be sane and
competent to manage his own affairs are
indignant at the action taken.
Surmising it to be a scheme to get con-
troll of his property, largely signed petit
ton was yesterday presented to the select
men OF Charlestown, urging them to take
any legal action necessary 10 protect the
rights of so noted and popular a citizen.
The outcome will be watched with keen
interest here.
Mr. Hoyt appeared before Judge Free
man at Hartford, Conn, yesterday to OPP
pose an application for committing him to
retreat for the insane in that city. Mr..
Hoyt's remarks were perfectly rational and
only once during the hearing did he show
any traces of being wrong mentally, and
that was Just as he was going out, when he
referred to the death o. his wife and child.
Mr.. Hoyt did most of the talking, Judge
Freeman asking a question now and then.
He admitted that his condition was such
that he needed rest and attention but not
confinement Judge Freeman, at the con
clusion of the hearing ordered Heyt com
mitted until he RECEIVERS from his present
