Clerk II. C. Brown, OF the corpora
ton commission, has received from the
chairmen OF the boards Of commission
ers in most of the counties and from
many of the towns Of the state the tax
rate on the 800 valuation Of property
for the year 1899. The rate for 1900 has
not, OF course. been computed as yet.
Some of the counties and many of the
W have failed to report but reports
are looked for shortly
There is a marked difference in the
rates in the counties, the highest hav-
ing a rate a trile yer double that OF
the lowest. while Of county towns the
highest has a rate Of nearly twelve
times as great as the lowest.
OF the counties Alamance is the n
where the tax gatherer is the least for
midable, the rate there, IS cents on the
800, being the lowest in the state. Car
teret and Pennsylvania pay most unto
Caesar" the rate in ach being $1.20 on
the 800.
OF the towns, Wilmington leads in
its rate, S1.75 on the 800. Greensboro
and Statesville come next with a rate
of $1.30, and Raleigh is third with a rate
of s1.23. A number of the towns the
smaller, of course, have a very low
rate. The towns yet to be heard from
may change the order of precedence.
The following table gives - "a ot
taxation on the 800 in the several
counties and county towns so far as
reports have been received. The first
column of figures is the rate for the
counties and the second for the towns.

4 New wav Of Boiling water.


1t Is possible to make pail Of water
boil without putting it ON the fire or
applying external heat to 1t in any
way In fact, you can make pail
of water boil by simply stirring it with
a big wooden spoon. All you have to
do is to place your water in a pail
it may be ice water if necessary-and
stir 1t with a wooden spoon. If you
keep at it long enough it will certain
" boil Five hours of rapid and con-
slant stirring are sufficient to perform
the feat successfully. The water will
after time warm, and then 1t will
grow hot-so hot in fact, that you can
not hold your hand in it, and finally it
will boil. The point which the in
yentor of this trick wishes to illustrate
is what is known as the mechanical
equivalent of heat. 1t requires SO
many foot pounds Of work to develop a
given quantity of heat. By turning the
spoon in the water at a regular speed
It is possible to find out Just how much
work is required to raise the temper
ature of water to one degree Heat
is developed In almost any substance
which is subjected to continuous or
violent action.

TAX FERRET NOT YET PAID
Cass County Supervisors Enjoincd
from settling on sevcnty-Five
Per Cent Basis.

ATLANTIC, Ia, Dec 16.-(Special.)-
Judge Thornell rendered a decision in one
OF the back tax collection cases this morn
ing granting temporary injunction
against the Board OF Supervisors from pay
ing any additional money to c. w. We'll
man, the collector. until the additional col
lections should balance the account with
the county on the basis of Is per cent
commission. The attorneys for the county
made no presentation of their side of the
case apparently being willing to have the
temporary injunction granted in order that
the plaintiffs might be compelled to put up
O bond for the court costs and attorneys
fees. The merits of the case will not be
tried until the February term of court,
when the question Of permanency OF disso-
luton OF the injunction will be tried. Mr..
Welman has now collected a little over
$40, 900 and county warrants for half the
amount have been issued to him in pay
mept for his services. On the basis Of 10
per cent his commission would have been
but 81 FOO instead of $1,000. II is evident
the additional collections. which will hardly
amount to $500, will not make up this
balance. There Is considerable specula-
tion as to the outcome of the question. IL
the permanent injunction should be granted
and the additional collections do not make
up the $500 would suit be pushed against
the Board OF Supervisors for the difference? !?
Mr. Welman is materially affected by these
decisions not alone for what they amount
to in Cass county, but because he has done
work in Mills county also and has COM
menced recently in Audubon county. II Is
believed that he will carry the case to the
higher court.

SIOUX CITY. Ia, Dec. 16-(Special Tele-
m)-An impertinent and ruffianly
Jack the Hugger' has the women OF
Sioux City badly scared and few of them
are willing to be on the streets after dark
without company. The fellow bobs out OF
alleys and dark corners, grabs a woman
In his arms and holds her till she breaks
away or screams. In some cases he has
succeeded in kissing his victims. The po-
lice seem unable TO get any trace OF him.
One Of his victims was Mrs. X. J. Small
wood, aged 60 years. In the struggle with
the stranger she fell and injured herself
quite painfully. Miss Elizabeth Finley, a
nervy young woman, hit him over the head
with a bottle Of medicine and stretched
him on the ground Last night he attacked
Mrs. Susan Christopher. She broke away
from his embrace, but he chased her for
nearly block. making her almost crazy
with fright. These are only few OF his
cases.
