much upon its decorative attractive
ness aye, even to the point of urging
another purchase"
But we digress. San Antonio has a
government court house and postofice
building that is model of Romanesque
style of architecture. 1t has court
house that cost upwards of 500, DOC, land
city hall that cost over $780, 600. 1t
has many attractive residences, some
handsome streets, and withal is clearly
kept city that does credit to those in
authority.
1t would be wholly improper, in a
passing article such as this is only in
tended, to attempt anything like a
comprehensive description of San An
tonio's many attractions or to enter
even in cursory way upon its tragic
history. The former can be appreciated
only by personal visitation, the latter
is written in letters of blood upon the
unfading pages of history.
Leaving San Antonio. therefore, via
the Southern Pacific, the great South
west line to sunset seas, we start on our
journey to foreign country a country
as foreign to American ways, customs
and habits of living, as the most re-
mote civilized countries lying across
the great waters. The American rail
road lands its passengers into the care
and Gus tody of the Mexican Interna-
tional railroad at Cindad Porfirio Diaz,
lying just across the Rio Grande river
which marks the dividing line between
the possessions of the United States and
Mexico. But the passengers do not
change cars. They are whirled along
over the International, and but for the
appearance of new train crew, one
would not know that any change in
management of railroads had occurred.
At Diaz. however, all baggage is in
spected by Mexican officials, and here
you get taste of what is to confront
you on tour through the interior of a
foreign land The International road,
differed by gentlemen trained in the
art of railroading in the states, and
themselves thoroughly American, pulls
out of Diaz at 600 o'clock in the even
ing and lands you it Monterey, the
capital of Nueve Leon in time for
breakfast next morning. Farther
than to give our readers the fact of our
arrival in this quaint Mexican city, and
to say that we ran amuck FL. G. How
ard and wife, of Lake Crystal and
Trying Monks and wife, of Watertown,
S. D., who had been enjoying stay
here of several weeks we shall not
write at this time. Our journey thus
far through Mexico will be left for a
etter to follow as soon as we can gain
our equilibrium in this dizzy city.

Senator Davis has proposed an
amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty to the effect that in time of war
the Nicaragua canal shall be closed to
the enemies of the United States. And
now the Washington correspondents
are sure that Senator Davis has parted
from his close friendship with the adj
ministration. The Free Press fails to
see wherein this holds good. The SEN
ate by the constitution is party to the
treaty making power of the govern
ment, and has a perfect right to amend
a treaty if it sees fit, And we fail to
see wherein a proposed amendment is a
slap at the administrative power. The
two factors of our treaty making power
may differ, and honestly SO. If Sena-
tor Davis and the Senate believe it to
be the best for the future welfare of the
country that the canal be closed under
the conditions named, they would be
derelict to duty if they did not see to it
that the treaty is so amended. And
we fail to see where it would show any
hostility on the part of Senator Davis
to the state department by so pro-
posing.

An estimate comes from some quarter
that there are $500 millionaires in this
country. This estimate may possibly
be correct. but it is found that a great
many who pass for millionaires during
their lifetime. do not possess that
am CUNT of property when it comes to
be passed upon by the probate court,
after the owner has passed on to the
great beyond.

MATTER OF FORFEITED TAXES.

MATTER OF FORFEITED TAXES.
Speaking of the forfeited tax sale, the
Faribault County Register has the fol-
lowing which will be of interest not
only to those having taxes coming I'M
der its scope, but also to those who may
wish to secure prices of property by
that sale. 1t says:
The forfeited sale is for the purpose
of cleaning up all back taxes, and it is
very important that every owner OF
real estate within this county who is
behind with his taxes for the year 1895
or any prior year or years take steps at
once to make payment, if he wishes to
hold his land. If the tax for the year
or years he is behind is not paid be-
tween now and the 18th day of May,
1900, the land will be at public sale to
the highest bidder, and there is no
chance thereafter to redeem. The law
provides that in no case shall the land
be sold for less than one-half the taxes
against it. Parties will therefore be
given an opportunity to settle for 30
cents on the dollar at the day of sale,
but they are taking great chances in
waiting till that time in case their land
is valuable. Others have a chance to
bid on the same piece of land and may
run the price up and the real owner
lose his land entirely. So the surest and
safest way is to pay up between now
and the day of the sale for the full
amount against the land and thus pro-
tect your rights. In this connection,
every person behind on the forfeited
list who is also behind in his taxes for
the years 1896, 1897 or 1898 on the same
land should bear in mind that the tax
for the last named years must also be
paid in addition to the amount adver-
tised before he can receive an certificate
from the county auditor that his taxes
are paid Be sure to look up your taxes
of these latter years, if you are behind,
and prepare to pay them, as we'll as the
forfeited tax. In case of any person re-
uniting by mail for either of the lists
advertised, be sure to include 81 cents
in addition to the amount advertised to
cover the clerk and publication fees.
Every person behind in the forfeited
list is given notice in three different
ways and no owner of any of the lands
contained in the list should miss being
notified. First this was done by postal
cards. then by publication and then the
sheriff is started out to give personal
notice This means a great expense to the
county, but the law provides that such
must be done and there is no other way
to do, However, revenue from this
forced payment of taxes has already
commenced to pour in and by the time
the sale day comes around there ought
to be big amount Of revenue from this
source.
