A PECULIAR COINCIDENCE

Some time ago Victor B. Woolley, for
mer prothonotary, purchased volume
of Harrington's Reports which had be-
longed to Magistrate Deakyne of Towns
end In looking over the volume, Mr..
Woolley has found clipping pasted in
the inside of the front cover telling of a
case he (Mr. Woolley) tried in the Gen
eral Sessions Court. The case involved
an interesting incident, witness posi-
tiveness being shaker by his failure to
distinguish between sweet and white
potatoes and carrots in bag. 1t had
evidently impressed the owner of the
volume, and it was peculiar coincidence
that Mr.. Woolley should eventually be
the purchaser of it.

HOW TO AVOID GRIP
Breathe through your nose."'
''stay at home after nightfall. :"

Breathe through your nose"
''stay at home after nightfall."
"Avoid all excesses."
''Do not experiment with home RENE
dies and patent medicines"
These rules were laid down by Health
Commissioner Bosley, of Baltimore for
the guidance of all who wish to escape
the grip.
Rainy weather is favorable to the
spread of the grip" he said, "and dur
ing the pest few days the number of
cases in Baltimore has reached about
10000. The epidemic is widespread, and
in every large city it is causing much
trouble. Fortunately the type of the
disease now met with is mild.
"How can it be avoided? By keeping
early hours and doing nothing to lower
ones vitality. The night air is produc-
tive of influenza, particularly in wet
weather, and all who can do SO should re-
main indoors after dark.
Breathing through the mouth is also
a way of giving the germs of the disease
a good opportunity to do their work.
Air passing through the nose is filtered
and warmed. That which goes through
the mouth reaches the lungs laden with
germs and damptness.
Gas soon as the first symptoms appear
60 to bed and call doctor. Do not take
patent medicines curealls. They are
worse than useless, for the grip is not
slight ailment by any means. 1t is
caused by specific germ and can be COM
batted only by physician. If it is re-
garded by the sufferer as a mere cold, it
will very likely develop into pneumonia.
An ounce of prevention in dealing with
it is worth ton of cure"
The principal symptoms of grip are
fever, dull pains in the head, a feeling of
exhaustion, neuralgia in. the face, loss of
sneezing spells, coughing and
aching limbs.

THE new TAX LIST.

AS most of the readers of the Sen
tinel are aware, the County Assessor
each year prepares list of all the
taxpayers in this county, with the
amounts assessed to each set oppo-
site their respective names. After
this list has been printed in panph-
let form the Assessor mails a copy to
each taxpayer in the county. The
form of getting up the pam phlct has
never been changed since it was first
inaugurated. AS comp .nsation for
doing the work the printer was al
lowed by law to charge twenty cents
for each taxpayers name on said
list The form that has heretofore
prevailed, FOR example, was:
Jonn zoe. .--- 9loo %
But the last Legislature amended
the law, and instead o: a simple
statement being made. as indicated
above, detailed one in future must
appear, similar to the following:
Richard Roe-Furuiture $500,
two mortgages $500. solvent
debts, $3.50, $50 stock horses
$3.50, IS work and saddle hor-
ses $500, 500 stock cattle S.
500, wagons and machinery,
500, 10 hogs 500. jacks
500, farming implements
$3.50, 100 acres of hay land
$500, 32o acres pasture land
$3.50, 24o acres other lands
$3.50. Total tax. $3.50
Nov, the Sentinel is finding 10
fault with the change to be made in
the form of all lists which will be
sent out by the various County AS
SCISSORS in the future. but it believes
that the com oensation for printing
the new tax list should be more than
is now allowed by law, for the reason
that greater amount of labor is nee
essary in getting up the new list thar
under the old form.
The Sentinel IS informed that the
original bill allowed the printer fair
price per squs re ior doing the work
but the Senate amended the bill and
placed the figure at the old rate
Sentinel.
The bill reads:
Section I. 1t shall be the duty 0
the Assessor in each of the respect
i've counties of the State on or befor,
the second Monday of September il
each year to prepare printed list @
all the taxpayers in the county
which list shall represent the value
in figures of each subdivision, arti
Gle, item, or separate piece Of prop
erty assessed, as the same appears o.
the Assessors statements. with the
total valuation in figures assessed t
each taxpayer.
Now the printer gets 20 cents
name for printing the list. If til
printer charges 20 cents for the nam
of each article on the list it woul
bankrupt every county iii the Stat
II it only charges for the names
the taxpayers and makes no char,
for the balance, it will bankrupt a

One Of Young Cudahy's Abductor

MYSTERY IN THE CASE

OMAHA. Neb. February 19.-One Of the
has been arrested. Edward Cudahy. jr..
this afternoon positively Identified the pris-
oner. He said: ~
This is the man who asked me to get
into the wagon. There Is no doubt about 1t;
he is the man."
Although the police refuse to dtvulge the
prisoners name, Edward Cudahy. the mil
lionaire packer who paid $4,000 in gold for
the release Of his son. this afternoon stated
to the Associated Press that the man under
arrest has been identified by his son as the
ahy residence, and who kept him company
in the house to which he was driven on the
night Of the abduction.
Mr.. Cudahy said the prisoner also has
been identified by one of his servants, who
saw the letter demanding the ransom
thrown upon the Cudahy lawn. and by an
other person whose name he will not make
public for the present.
Much mystery surrounds the arrest Of the
alleged ktdnaper. Not until this afternoon
was word permitted to be made public on
the case, although 1t has been learned that
local officers are said to have made the cap
ture. The prisoner is said to have been un-
der surveillance for some time, as 1t was
believed he had been writing letters con-
cerning the case. When the detectives had
fully satisfied their suspicion they placed
the man In the city jail. Separate inter-
views with the three persons mentioned
strengthens the belief that one of the prin-
clpalS was at last caught and the partial
of his arrest followed.
