advertised At 81 per spindle. making the
total valuation SS9o.92i The reason for
wishing to sell the property is said TO be
the exorbitant valuation set upon IL by
the tax assessors.
Col william Goddard was in Black
stone last week and made sworn state
ment of The valuation OF the property be-
fore tax assessor Michael Fitzgerald. II
is said that the figures given BY Col
Goddard are many thousands less than
the valuation as estimated by the asses
sors The latter body also claims that
since the Goddard Bros. did not file a
statement OF the valuation Of their prop
erty I'm the town in May, according to
the law, they cannot now oppose any
valuation within reason that the asses
sors may set upon their property.
About year ago the company entered
suit against the town for reduction OF
taxes. The valuation fixed by the com
pany then was $4,000. or $4,000 less

FIinsy Action.

AS was noted in the PLAIN DEALER
Friday, some of the voting precincts
sent in their election returns without
the official Authorization necessary
to entitle them to be accepted by the
canvassipg board. But strange to say
the board of supervisors as the board
of county canvaSsers accepted them,
and proceeded to canvas their votes,
giving them same sanction and force
they gave to those that were lawfully
returned and properly signed by the
judges and clerks in charge of the
polling places. This matter has been
twice passed upon by the Supreme
court of Iowa, and in each instance adj
yersely to the action of the beard.
The State of Iowa ex rel, Rice VS..
the county Judge of Marshall county,
7th Iowa report, page 1919, 1t is held
that of the supposed returns are not
! signed by any one they have not the
evidence of being returns. And in
the case of the State VS.. county Judge
of Hardin county, 18th Iowa, page
l44, the court said: "Should it appear
that a return had been made not
signed by the officers holding the cleo
ton it is certainly not the
duty Of the board to canvass such a
return. 1t is not a return within the
meaning of the law. If they have no
authority to count such re turn they
must reject it. !"
A later decision Of the supreme
court of our state points out the meth
cd by which this defect in the returns
may be remedied, and it was clearly and
cmphaticall its duty, the duty of the
board to have the remedy applied or
if that was not done to reject the re-
turns lacking legal Authorization.
The fault of the board is that it is too
timid to do what is right, lawful ard
expedjcnt, and for the best good OF
the pubic. This is the second great
oppor tunity whcrin it failed to meet
public expectation.
! In more recent case decided int
own supreme court where precisely
the State of facts existed that con.
! fronted the board here-unSigned
election returns--where mandamus
process was reSorted to to compel the
Board of Supervisors to permit the
| precinct election judges to complete
their worl. and authenticate the re-
turns, by properly signing them that
they might be canvassed before de-
claring the result CT the election, the
cou held that where 'the judges O.

certify to the returns OF said election
and the Board of Supervisors
refused them the right SO TO do y =

rection should have been permitted

A DISAPPOINTING FIGHT.
Sporting Men Criticise Sharply the
Jeffries-RuhlinC Com
test.

San Francisco, Nov. 1s.-Sporting
men who witnessed Friday nights con-
test for the championship of the world
between Jim Jeffries and Gus Rubin
agree that it was one of the most dis
appointing fights ever put up by heavy
weights Of reputation. No one expect
ed such q tame termination, and when
BILLY Madden, acting for Rubin, threw
up the sponge the fifth round, howl
of anger shook the rafters of the pa
vilion. Referee Corbett plainly showed
his surprise and at first thought that
the sponge had been thrown into the
ring by some practical joker. In an
interview after the fight Corbett said:
II think Madden made mistake.
He should have thought of the crowd
that paid big admission fee to see the
fight. The crowd that attends such ex-
hibitions wants to see the defeated
man knocked out. The fight might
have gone another round OF two when
a decisive blow might have been
given"
I Billy Madden said that he decided to
stop at the end of the fifth to save his
man from worse punishment. II did
not want Knockout" said he.
Rubin got over his grogginess quick
~. He was not badly punished and
bore no serious marks of the fray.
There was little trace of the heavy
body blow in the fifth round and he is
little the worse for wear.
Rubin and his immediate followers
spoke in awed tones of Jeffries' power.
They agreed that he was terrible
fighter and sought to console them
selves for the defeat by extolling the
champions fearful pEowess.
Champion Jeffries in signed
statement says: 81 had not started to

sponge. Had l gone at Rubin Lam

eATHMANN GUN FAILS.
Wonderful Result Follows Rev Elk.
ploaive Fired from Ordinary
Twelve-inch Rifle, However,.

New York, Nov. 1s.-Gathmann's
dynamite shell, fred from his big 49,
inch rifle, the largest gun in the world,
proved itself disastrous failure at
Sandy Hook Friday afternoon. barely
denting the big atmor plate against
which 1t was fired at point blank range.
The ordinary army ls-inch rife, with
an armor-piercing shell filled with .
small charge of high explosive, scored
an extraordinary success, however.
and produced results which will startlo
the great naval countries OF the world,
and which perhaps may reyoluttontze
naval architecture.
The Gathmann projectile, which its
inventor claimed would reduce an
armor plate TO powder, failed to make
any serious impression on target
made to represent the side of q modern
battleship of the first-class. The army
rifle, however, not only fired shell
completely through the armor plate,
but exploded the shell on the inside,
wrecking the target and absolutely de-
stroying the steel construction repre-
senting the cofferdam structure OF the
modern big battleship.
This feat of sending an armor pierre
ing shell through thick piece of armor
and then exploding it has never before
been accomplished in the world. To
cap the climax, the high explosive used
to produce this wonderful result IS the
invention of an officer of the United
States army, and its composition. to.
gether with the fuse which fired it, il
controlled by the United States army
exclusively as vet.

ing the votes of the county. 1t is not
easy to see, or even imagine, prejudi-
cial consequences from the right so to
do, = \ y it was only. to do an omitted
act required by law as to certitication
so that the returns might be canvassed
by the Board of Supervisors. Refer
ring to the case of the State VS.. the
Hardin county Judge the court says
1--WE are not holding that it was the
duty of the Board to canvass the re-
turns without certiication, only that
certification should have been per-
mitted, and when done they should
have been counted"
Thus it will be seen that the Su-
preme Court holds that certiflcation
must precede the canvass Of the votes.
A feature that is lacking in the re-
turns recently canvassed by our Board
of Supervisors.
The certitication Of the election
returns is duty enjoined upon the
judges of election by the law and the

fully perform that duty may be COM
