the abuse, Lessie says, and told her to
leave home, which she did. She does not

PENNSYLvANIA'S VALUATION
Exceeds That Of Other Lines Combined
Interesting Figures Cleaned By
News.Democrat Reporter.

Few persons have any idea Of the
immense amount Of taxes paid annually
by the railroads that cross Stark
county.
The. total assessed value fixed by the
auditors Of the counties through which
the roads pass is SO much the mile for
main lines and side tracks, and the
value per mile Is fixed for rolling stock
and other equipment.
|, In the state Of Ohio, the Pennsylvania
company alone pays taxes on an as
sessed valuation of more than eleven
million dollars.
The total valuation OF railroads in
Stark county is s2,71s.sss. of which
amount the Pennsylvania company's
property represents s1,Sss,675. The diff
'ferent roads pay taxes on the following
valuations:
Alliance & Northern, s6,633; Cleve-
and. Akron & Columbus. $3.50; Cleve-
and. Lorain & Wheeling, $270,051;
Cleveland & Pittsburg, 3211 800; Cieve-
land, Terminal & Valley, $14s,2s1; Mas
siilon & Cleveland, s5O.1s2; Ohio River
& Lake Erie, S3s.677; Pittsburg. Fort
Wayne & Chicago. s1.69s,s75; Wheeling
q Lake Erie, S2s2, $50; total $2,7ls,ss8.
The taxes paid into the county treas
ury by the railroads running through
stark county for the year 1898, were
'50,204.73. The figures for 1899 are not
yet available. OF the foregoing amount,
The Pennsylvania company paid about
$50, 900, OF more than all the other COM
panies combined. That company pays
On a larger valuation in Stark than in
any other county in Ohio. This is due
to the extent OF its mileage and its

There are IS miles Of Pennsylvania

At only one-sixth the value Of the for

Some of the townships through which
the railroads run raise large proper
tion of their taxes from the railroads,
thus keepirg down their tax rate and
making taxes light for township and
school purposes. t..e-.a., - 49,
The tax value of the entire county
last year was s41,6s6.6s0. From this
data, the proportion Of taxes paid by
the railroads can be estimated. 1t
shows that they pay very large pre-
centage Of the taxes. making lighter
the burden that rests upon the indi-

VERY STRONG ORGANIZATION


The News-Democrat scored another
big scoop on all other Ohio newspapers
Wednesday when It was the first to pub
lish the announcement that the indepen-
dent glass manufacturers had wiped out
all quotations on glass and were organ
izing a trust with view to making the
old glass trust come to time. The News
Democrats exclusive story was con-
firmed Thursday morning by the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, which said, In part:
"The meeting Of the Independent glass
manufacturers in this city promises to
have decided effect on the industry of
the country. The independents took the
preliminary steps towards the FORM
alton OF a strong and complete organ
ization. The purpose of this organiza-
tion is either to force the trust, known
as the American Window Glass COM
pany, to a compromise or else a war
to the death will be inaugurated.
Through the new organization the In
dependent manufacturers will oppose
the trust as a body and expect to accom-
plish far more than they have been able
60 far to do through individual efforts.
The independents will at once demand
better terms Of the trust, with the OBJ
ject Of getting better prices for their
output. The plan is to meet the compe-
tition of the trust in every particular.
"At the meeting in this city every
Independent manufacturer in the United
States was either represented In person
or by proxy. The unanimous opinion
prevailed that what is called the high
handed methods Of the trust should not
be tolerated any longer. All the prelim-
mary steps towards perfecting the or
ganixation were taken except the cleo
tion of officers. The matter was put in
to the hands Of a committee, which VIII
arrange all the details and then call an
other meeting, probably to be held In
this city. The names of the members
of the committee are kept secret, and
1t is also probable that the names OF
the officers, when they are elected, will
be kept a secret. This will be done In
order not to give the trust an opportu-
nifty to single out a particular manu-
facturer and make an example OF him.
IL possible. The object is to force the
trust to do business with every inde-
pendent manufacturer. The new organ
ization hopes to be able to effect com
promise with the trust. In case Of o.
Compromise, they are willing to concedo
some points, II necessary, but the COM
bine win be obliged to make man:
larger concessions. II a war is started
the independents feel that at any rat,
they save an equal chance with tn.

The Gazette says:


THAT thief is branded upon
the forehead Of every man who
holds an office to which he was
not elected" This statement is
pretty tough on old brother Hop
kins, whom the aforesaid Gazette
is supporting for Congress in this
district.
1t further says: 1--WE do not
expect Democratic orators to tell
the truth, but we want all lovers
Of civil liberty to investigate every
statement they make before max
ing up their mind to believe it. "
Now whatever Republicans are
accused of, they will not deviate
from the truth. Mr.. Taylor said
he would come back to his old
Kentucky home, and stand his
trial for completely in the murder
Of Senator Goebel, and every one
knows he came.
1t further deposeth and says;
"that Beckham should be dubbed
The Man Without a Conscience. "
Well the trouble with Fugitive"
Taylor is, that he has too much
conscience; the reason that he is
such a coward, for conscience
makes towards. When Billie
Shakespear wrote these significant
lines, Taylor was not on this earth,
if he had been, Fugitive" Bill
could have given him some point
ers.
