Report from Husband which Urges
Peace on Best Terms Obtainable.

Berlin, June 1.-THE Kleines jour
nal Monday printed dispatch from
The Hague saying that Queen Will
helmina's recent visit here was
meant to obtain Emperor Williams
consent to end the South African
war, both the Zweibund and Dreibund
being willing to do so, through The
Hague arbitration court, and that
the emperor consented and the court
began work thereon. The dispatch
has created sensation here.
The press has just obtained the fol-
lowing foreign Office statement which
is authorized by Count Won Buelow,
the imperial chancellor:
Neither Great Britain, France nor Rus
STA ever approached Germany to particle
pate in any action aiming at ending the
South African war. Germany has all
along distinguished between offering her
good offices and Intervention. To render
her good offices would be possible if both
parties to the war requested 1t; but Il
will be remembered that Great Britain
only Joined The Hague conference on
condition that the Boer states were ex-
cluded. There is no doubt that Mr.
to Europe to obtain the good offices of
several of the powers to end the war; but
there is also no doubt that Great Britain
does not want their good offices. At least
1t is true that since the South African war
began Great Britain has never either YER
bally or in writing, contidentially or Of
hcially, preached such an idea. 1t is quite
possible that the Boer side has now for
mally asked The Hague arbitration court
to lend its aid to end the war somehow
and that the court has held session re-
garding the matter; but that of course
is entirely different from any serious steps
to end the war"

Hebner--Snith.

The Presque Isle County News of
June s, 1901, published at Millersburg,
Mich, contained the following in ref
erence to the marriage of Miss Nellie
Hebner and VIM. Smith, both parties
being residents of Yale not long
since :-"Mr. VIM. Smith and Miss
Nellie Hebner were married in On
away on Wednesday last. Mr.. Jas.
Morarity and Miss Minnie Trask
"stood up" with them. Mr.. Smith and
Miss Hebner have been courting under
more or less difficulties about six years,
but finally haYe brought about the
much desired union. Mr.. Smith is the
butcher and meat dealer of our village
and will be one of our most influential
residents. Miss Hebner is beloved by
all who know her and will be a model
helpmeet to her husband. We wish
them many years of happiness and
solid comfort, and their many friends
join with us. They will for the pres
ent reside over the meat market"
MRS. Nellie Smith, nee Hebner, is
making a coZY home of the rooms
over the meat market, and goes about
it singing like lark. Riches are not

That Poll Tax.

Some question has been recently
raised in the village as to the power of
the corporation to collect a poll tax.
Attorney +. III. Drake has been re-
quested by President Mann to prepare
and submit opinion on the matter AS
there has been more or less discussion
over the question, the opinion will be
of considerable local interest and is
here given in full.
All male residents under 80 years of
age and over 2l, excepting those whom
the statute specially eXcepts, shall be
liable to assessment for highway labor
for what is commonly called capitation
or poll tax. Compiled Laws Sec. 408l.
The exceptions noted are soldiers, pen
sioners, paupers and incompetents.
Also those who belong to any organic
ed fire company, or, who shall have
been member of some organized fire
company for the term of seven years.
One of the powers given village
councils by the village law of 1895 is to
levy and cause to be collected each
year, a poll tax, etc. &. l.. Sec. 1854
Assessors shall assess a poll-tax in
villages, against every person liable
therefor. q. l.. Sec. 1853.
Assessors in villages shall apportion
taxes and shall set apart in column
by itself poll tax against every per-
son liable therefor. 9. l.. Sec. 1855.
Section 1868 provides how the collec-
ton of tax on real or persoal prop
erty may be enforced during the life of
the treasurer's warrant.
Section 1860 provides how taxes on
real property, uncollected, may be re-
turned to county treasurer and collect
ffAr in 6n no
those returned by township treasurer.
Section 2S7l provides that unpaid
taxes against personal property may
be collected by suit.
There seems to be no provision in the
general village law for the enforce
ment of the collection of Il poll tax, as
the laws heretofore cited are the only
ones mentioning poll tax and the
methods of enforcing the collection of
any kind of tax.
1t is our opinion however that this
poll tax may be collected by ordinary
suit against the parties liable therefor
and we quote the following citation
from Dillon's Law of Municipal Cor
porations."
Section S18, Vol. 2. If the charter
gives the power to impose taxes, but
is silent respecting the method for
their recovery, the corporation may
enforce them, or provide by ordinance
for their enforcement by due course of
judicial proceedings.
In such case the authority to collect
by suit is clearly implied being neces-
sary in order to make the power to tax
available. The we'll known rule is
that where a statute creates right
and gives no remedy, the party may
resort to the usual remedy applicable
to such case"
The conclusion of the authorities
examined is clearly to the effect that a
poll tax may be collected by ordinary
suit but not by distress and sale as
provided for by the statute for collec.
ting taxes of another character.

Had Asked for Slight Restorative when
he Passed Away so quietly there was
scarcely movement of the body.
London, June l9.-The death of ex-
Gov. Hazen 5. Pingree, of Michigan,
which occurred at the Grand hotel at
midnight, came wholly without warn
ing to the watchers. There had been
little noticeable change in his condi-
tion for time and, except for the
nurses. his son, Hazen S. Pingree, Jr.,
was the only one present. Mr.. Pingree
was perfectly clear minded to the last
and his end was apparently painless.
He was propped up with pillows and
had just expressed wish for some
slight restorative, when he breathed
his last so quietly that there was hard
ly q movement of the body. His son
noticed wistful expression in the
eyes, but he was unaware that the end
had come, until all was over.
The actual cause of death was a
growth in the intestines following at
tacks of peritonitis and dysentery, an
old effect of the civil war.
In the afternoon Gov. Pingree was
not aware that the end was approach
ing. He spoke very little beyond
mentioning his desire to return home,
being anxious to see his wife and
daughter after his absence abroad.
The body was removed this after
noon to an undertaker's mortuary at
Paddington, where it was embalmed
and placed in a sealed casket. 1t will
be transported to the United States on
the steamship Koenigin Luise, which
sails from Bremen June %, via South

To dwell with Him who gave;
Another little darling babe
Is sheltered in the grave.
God needed one more angel child

And so He bent with loving smile
And clasped our darling's hand.
Though cast down we're not forsaken,
Though afflicted not alone.
