Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1900-06-21

The Oswego Kan. Independent has
resurrected an old banner which was
carried in Populist professions during
the campaign OF 1896. Here are the
inscriptions it bore:
"A vote for Mckinley means more
tramps."
McKinley's election means:
''10-cent corn.
"25-cent wheat.
Scent oats.
81 per ton for hay.
"5 cents per pound for butter.
''3 cents dozen for eggs.
"2-cent hogs.
"l4-cents for fat cattle.
"No money to carry on business. +"
1t is unnecessary TO say that no class
of people in Kansas are more ashamed
OF this banner now than the Populists

SNOW, A.., IS usually soft and fine
ana COME, down with an ominous
quiet. men it increases in volume,
and wild wind hurls it along. 1t il
binding and enveloping, and, aside
from being freezing cold, one cannot
but lose his way. The storm some
times lasts two or three days. When
one of these billiards. comes up, the
farmer who wants to get from his
farmhouse to the stable or milkhouse
takes a cord and starts for the stable
or milkhouse, as it may be, even IL
1t Is only 80 yards off. He seldom
makes it the first time, and the cord
is to keep him from getting lost and
wandering in the snow. Sometimes
the people stand in the door and beat
tin can for signal to any one who
may be out in the storm, but this Is of
little use, as the noise of the wind is so
great that II browns almost every 9TH
er sound.
Il know of case of a man who got
lost going from his stable to the house,
so swiftly and blindingly did the storm
whirl down upon him. He stumbled
over the entrance to a cyclone cellar
and crawled in there and dropped the
door after him to keep out the snow.
The snow fell faster and faster and
buried the door so deeply that when 1t
was all ended and he tried to open it
he found II impossible. His family
searched the country around for him,
and it was not until the snow had melt
ed and gone and some one happened
to go into the cyclone cellar that he
was found there. New York Tribune.

.st.. ':'n's SOME TAX CASES.
Judge Searle Hears the Arguments Of tn
! Attorneys in Several Tax Cases Of
n sM~ag'. Morrison County. Z Z ..

Judge Searle opened special
term of the district for Morrison
county this morning at 8 o'clock in
the court house In this city. n
The term was held for the purpose
of considering certain tax cases some
of which, II not all, will be affected
by the coming forfeited tax sale.
The first case called was that OF
Morrison County vs s. r. and G. ".
Thayer. Lindbergh 6 Blanchard
appeared for the defendants. This
case relates to some real estate sold
in 1899 fer taxes, and which under
the construction that some place
upon the law would be included In
the forfeited tax sale this year.
The attorneys for tho defendants
contended; that the rights OF the
owner to redemption would be those
provided by the law under which
the sale was made and that sub
seluent legislation could not effect
those rights. They claimed that the
defendants had under the law which
governed that sale three years In
which to redeem the property from
that sale. The case was taken un-
der advisement by Judge Searle as
was also the case OF Morrison coun-
ty W. III. G. Gilbert. In this case the
defendant claims an excessive assess
ment OF certain lands in Ripley town.
Other tax cases, six or seven in all,
were heard and taken under advise
ment by the court.
The arguments were oil made this
forenoon and court was adjourned
by Judge Searle at noon and he re-
turned home on the afternoon train.

THEY ARE WORRIED.
Low Water, If Continued, Will Hold Back
Logs From the Minneapolis
Mills.

Minneapolis Times: The lumber
men are commencing to get dfscour-
aged over the continued low water
in the river. They fear that it will
be impossible to get the rear drive OF
logs to the mills in time to prevent
their closing down, unless it rains
heavily within the next thirty days.
The rear b,om Is now reported at
Ohm tead bar. and the river has fall
len one inch within the last twenty
four hours. The logs in the first
drive will be sufficient to keep the
mills running for a month longer;
but when these are exhausted the
mills will be compelled to close. A
heavy rain would make the water in
the river high enough to float the
rear drive down.
