MASON AND DIXON'S LINE.

In the bitter contentious be
tween the north and south, which
are now happily over, we have
heard so much of Mason and
Dixon's line that it has como to
have an un savory sound to those
who long for the complete de-
%struction of sectionalism. But
this historic line is brought into
fresh discussion by recent act
of the Maryland Legislature ap,
propriating money for the resur-
vey of that boundary. The origin
al Mason and Dixon's line was
fixed in accordance with the term
of the final agreement between
the Calverts and Penns, conclud.
ed in 1850 after protracted nego-
tiations. There was a conflict in
the grants of Maryland and
Pennsylvania. The Penns had
friends at court ard Calvert was
finally ooerced into conceding
everything Penn demanded, and
this concession cost him the rich
est portion of his domain. The
line between Maryland and Penn
sylvania was begun in 1870 by a
commission appointed for that
purpose. The proprietors of the
two colonies became impatient at
Sheir slow progress, and agreed
to engage Charles Mason and
James Dixon to complete the
work. Both Penn and Calvert
were in London at the time, and
Ehey there engaged these two
men, whose names have been so
famous in connection with this
historic line, for 50 many years
the dividing line between the
Tree states and the slave states of
the Union.
Maryland believes that Penn
sylvania has gotten over the line
and that a resurvey will establish
that fact. A very narrow strip Of
territory is involved in the dis
%cussion, and it will probably be
settled without much trouble.
Mason and Dixon are illustra,
tions of the fame that is thrus'
upon men. Little did those two
obscure civil engineers think
when they were called upon te
run a line between the Calver'
and Penn grants that they were
giving their names to a boundary
which in after years would sep
arate this country into two hos
tile and battling sections.

MAMMOTH TAX SALE.

The tax law passed at the last
session of the legislature relating to
the sale OF all property upon which
taxes are delinquent in the year
1897 and prior thereto, will soon
come into use, and as a result there
will be a mammoth stock sale in
May, which will be the first of it's
kind in the state, says the Winona
Republican.
The law provides that the county
auditor shall make. supplemental
list of property upon which taxes
have not been paid prior to the year
1898, and shall proceed to sell the
same for taxes under the regular
delinquent sale. Under the law the
auditor is required to sell the prop
erty, but can sell for no less than so
per cent of the amount of the origin
al tax levied.
According to law he is allowed to
give absolute title to the purchaser,
without any further act, The law
provides that notice shall be Sc
cured by service upon the occu-
pants by the sheriff, and where
there are no occupants notice shall
he served bv mailing notice to the
person named as owner, addressed
to the county seat of his county.
Good authorities assert that even
with the law in effect the owners
right to redeem is still inherent and
that it would be policy for those who
desire absolute title to purchase in
the same manner as they are com
PEELED to in the tax title sales here
tofore held. s4t t.i Es..a., II .s

Well, we have always had plenty Of

TENT FAGTORrS NARROW ESCAPE.
PrOOfiing Room Burned-Only Favorable
Wind Saves Main Building.

The Mcfarland tent factory had a close
call to being destroyed by fire last Satur-
day morning. A northwest wind saved
the main building from catching afire.
The alarm was given about IL O'Clock,
the fire starting in the water proofing
room, a small building detached from the
factory on the southeast about % feet
away. In this room Messrs. Van Wor-
ley and Jibb were at work water proof
ing cloth with paraffine and gasoline,
when an explosion took place and the
building instantly caught fire, the gaso-
line and water proofed cloth being at
once ignited. By prompt action and the
response of many willing hands the fire
was confined to the detached building,
but an enormous quantity of cloth was
destroyed, as the fire was too hot to save
thousands of yards of cloth just outside
of the water prooting room. 1t is esti-
mated that about $4,000 TO 10000 yards
of cloth was burnt up, but the real loss
cannot yet be computed.
