The minister of the Grams

The minister of the Orange Free
State to the Netherlands is reported
as saying; THE war is the begin
ming of the collapse of England's
power in South Africa. The longer
the war lasts the heavier will be the
conditions of peace, for England
will not come out of it without Civ
ing important concessions. To this
the secretary of the Transvaal lega-
ton adds: "Both republics will have
full freedom and independence.
Further, England will have to give
up those parts of Cape Colony, Ma
tai and BechuanalanG where the in
babitants have thrown in their lot
with the republics, for they must
not be left in the lurch."

Election Of Trustees and Assessors in
1900.
The idea for some reason has become
in this state that there is nc law pro-
viding for the election of township
trustees and assessors at the general
election in 1900, and the attorney gen.
eral has been the recipient of many let
tiers of inquiry in regard to the matter:
TO definitely settle the matter ne pre-
pared an opinion yesterday In which
after quoting the act of the legislature
of 1897, which provides for the election
of assessors, he b dds that under the
law, there must be Gil election for
trustees and assessors in 1900.

NEARLY BROWNS IN ENGINE TANK.
Fireman Falls Head First into Engine
Tank and Narrowly Escapes Death.
A peculiar accident happened at the
Pittsburg and Fort Wayne railroad
yards early Sunday morning. At 12:45
q. m. engine 800 hauling freight train
under the charge of Conductor Grenn-
ert, arrived at the depot and stopped at
the water hydrant to take water. Fire
q. w. Stevens took his lantern and
climbed up over the coal to where the
water is taken in and somehow or an
other, no one knows precisely in what
manner, he fell into the tank headfore-
most. The lantern which he carried
was noticed by the conductor and engi-
neer who were going for their orders to
fastened to ascertain its cause. They
found the fireman completely SUBJ
merged in the water with only his right
leg protruding from the opening They
succeeded in pulling him out and with
much difficulty carried him into the tel
egraph Office.
DR.. Aspinall, the railroad surgeon,
was telephoned tor, and he with the as
sistsnce of night agent Miller and ope
rator Eaton and others who happened
to be there, after several hours of con-
slant friction and artificial heat brought
him back to consciousness. A scalp
wound about an inch back of the left
ear was discovered but the cause Of it
could not be found. A notable feature
of the accident is the fact that fireman
Stevens has no recollection of how he
fell, upon that point his mind is per-
fectly blank.
by 5:l3 q. m. he had been made very
comfortable and was able to be taken
to his home in Fl. Wayne on No. 6. He
was 80 weak however that he could
hardly assist himself.

Operations of County and Township GOV
eminent Under New Laws.
The bureau of statistics has of late
received many inquiries from all parts
of the state, asking about the effect
and results under the reform legsla-
ton upon county and township admin
istration. To obtain this, blanks were
sent to be filled out by the several
county auditors of the state, and this
report, just made public, makes inter
esting reading. The figures are az fol
lows:
The tax levy for county purposes IL
1898, under the old law, in all the
counties of the state, was S. 666, 346 &c
for all counties. The levy for county
purposes in all the counties in 1899 10y
the county councils, under the new law
was $5,577,339.8l for all counties. Thu:
il is seen that the total tax levy fol
county purposes under the new law, il
all counties of the state, was S8S, 905.4 AZ
less than il was under the old law.
The township tax levies for township
purposes are less in forty FIVE counties
under the new law, by the advisory
boards of 1896, than it was under the
old law in 1898.
The tax duplicates of all the counties
of the state for county purposes bear
S88, 9O5.49 less taxes to be paid in 1900
under the new law than was required
to be paid on the duplicates of 1899 un.
der the old law.
The county councils of all the coun.
ties of the state appropriated S1,554, 1881
less than was estimated for 1900, and
50, 252, 1873 less than was expended in
1899.
The total county Indebtedness of the
state is S7,434,7y2.
