that the other girls found out that Miss Rouse could whistle. Now it was a favorite air of the South, fragment of opera. a rag-time melody of the streets, a popular theme from comic opera, but it was always those wonderfully sweet notes, the bird-like trill that fascinated and made those who heard it wonder how a young girl could whistle better than most professionals
 But the climax came one evening re- gently at one of Mrs Semple's "at homes."
 Miss Rouse was in the music room when one of the girls told some friends that they should hear Miss Rouse whistle. She was besieged then on all sides. and fin- ally one of the girls took seat at the plano and struck some familiar chords. Miss Rouse. in her simple gown of white organdie. her brown eyes sparkling the roses deepening in her cheeks, paused a

 When she finished there was burst of applause. Every one said 1t was wonderful that she should go on the stage, that she could make a fortune by whistling.
 After that Miss Rouse whistled for Mrs Shaw, who pronounced her gift to he unusual. You can reach notes" Mrs Shaw told her, ,"that I could not reach after three months instruction. You are a wonder. You would be a great SIC. cess if you cared to take up whistling as a career"
 Miss Rouse docs not care for a pro- fessional career. but she inte1,s giving drawing-room entertainments and in New York this winter she will be heard at several of the fashionable private enter tainmonts, and at the annuAl banquet given at the Waldorf-Astoria by the Confederate Veterans.

about six O'Clock and it was after nine
before it was under control. Cred1t IS

fire under control.

Union Grove.

Last Saturday, Nov. 2, 1901, will in
the history of events of the little vii
1age of Union Grove, be marked as
red letter day of athletic sports. Nov.
End was the day of the great battle
which resulted in the first victory ever
attained by our valiant Union Grove
eleven. Preparations had been in
progress since early morning for the
coming conflict, in fact it is known to
be true that nine out of the eleven men
could not go to sleep until after two
O'Clock on the previous night, for fear
that they might over sleep and thus
not be in time for the fray. The Honey
Creek boys appeared on the scene at .
.. M, and the lineup short time later
showed our men that they were up
against foe worthy of their steel,
which instead of frightening them,
only served to make them more enthu-
siastic and eager for the battle. Prof
H. G. Lawton was referee, and DR.. C.E.
Bartholf was appointed timekeeper
At the end of the forty minutes speci-
fed for the game the score was 20 to O.,
IN favor of Union Grove. This affair
differed from the usual professional
game in one respect, for in spite of the
fact that there were four physicians

ton as would settle the matter for sev..
era1 years.
The State tax has been doubled and
with the assessed valuation which has
been returned for several of the towns
in the county the increased burden
would fall heavily on the towns. But
the Board will remedy this matter and
in order to equa1ize the entire tax to
the city and county they are planning
to double the assessed valuation of the
property in both city and county.
This valuation will be an arbitrary
one, to be set by the members of the
committee on taxation. AS soon as
the superintendent of assessment has
been elected he will confer with the
committee and the amounts will be in
creased in proportion to the assessed
valuation of other years.
The valuation set by the Board last
y ear was So, 100000, and the amount to
be set this year will be about $13,O00,-
900. This will make it possible for the
State tax to be increased without the
burden falling too heavily on any one
of the towns or on the city. The rate
for the tax will be less than it was last
year, but the raise will come in the
valuation.
In the fight for the selection of SUI
perintendent of assessment Henry
Jordan seems to be the leading candi-
date, with George Kroncke as a close
