L'AssAssN du president Mckinley
possede des parents, on le salt. Au
nombre de cette parente se trouve
un cousin qui repond au nom gra-
cieux de Emil Hofenbeckle. La
mere d'Emil Hofenbeckle ct celle de
Leon F. Czolgosz etaient smurs.
Depuis deux ans. Emil a quite
fOhio ct est venu s'engager sur une
ferme voisine de BluffdaIe, Texas.
La, le reste de l'univers n'existait
plus pour lui ct il WYATT aussi in
different a ce qui se passait en- de-
hors de Ia ferme que devait fetre le
pere Adam au paradis. Assurement,
ce nest pas pour lui qu'on inven-
te le telegraphe. le telephone, les
iournaux ct tout ce qui est propre

les. Car il falIu qu'Emil Hofen-
beckle vint Sc promener samedi
dernier Bluffdale pour apprendre
que le president Mckinley etc
tue. Cette nouvelIe tardive Ia in
teresse settlement par la part qua
prise son cousin Leon dams le fait.
II Gu peine y croire d'abord, ct
il fallu quelques efforts pour le
convaincre. II fallu, assure-t-il,
que son cousin fdt fou, car c'etait un
gareon dune extrsms timidite. On
ne lui fera jamais croire quill n'etait
pas pousse par d'autres. Apres
quill ent etc mis- au courant de toute
l'affaire ct de la condemnation de
Leon, il declare quill await ce quill
meritait. II q fait une collection
de vieux journaux contenant des
details du crime ct du jugement de
l'assassin pour les lire tranquille-
ment d Ia maison ct 90 METRE au
courant des fats. Peut.stre meme
quill s'abonnera d un journal . Ia

en- arriere de CO qui Sc passe en- de-

ONLY $2 PER CAPITA.
Primary School Money AppOr-
tiOnment Will be at That
Rate Instead Of $2.41.

1t was enormously stated last
week that the semi-annual appor-
tionment of the primary school fund
would be at the rate of S2.41 per
capita. The apportionment is now
being made by the superintendent

will be 81, AL ,224.
At this rate L 'Anse township will
receive the sum of $3.50 instead of
81, ,145, as announced last week, a
difference of about S195.

ed reduction of 20 per cent in the

HOUGhToN's OBJECTION.
Claim Made That the Recent
State Tax Levy is Wrong.

Some of the upper peninsula
counties, whose value were mater
tally increased by the state board of
equalization last.month, evidently do
not take very kindlyt the situation,
for they are taking exceptions to the
state tax levy. One 1. of them,
Houghton county, has raised ques-
tion as to the legality of the levy as
made by the Spanish war loan sink
ing fund, claiming that it should
have been based on the equalization
OF 1896 instead of the equalized val
uation recently fixed. 1t is claimed
that the alleged error invalidates
the tax for the purpose named.

the tax rolls the sum of $25, 900 for
