A Worthy Department.

New York Tribune.
 The annual report of the Lighthouse Board of the United States shows that it directed and controlled more than thir- teen hundred lighthouses and beacon lights, more than two-score lightehips, and an immense number of other aids to navigation, of warnings and signals to mariners. Its benefcent work is of ines timable importance and usefulness. but the total of appropriations asked for is extremely modest in proportion to the results achieved. Surely Congress ought not to be niggardly to this department.

Croker,s Power at an End.

Boston TransCrlpt
 Croker has lost his prestige as "a man of destiny" He has now nothing to give. Ignorant and interruptions as are the rank and file upon which he has relied, they know the difference between a winning cause and a losing one. Croker has no personal magnetism. He can ap- peal to no spirit of party loyalty. Every man who has done his dirty work knows that his rewards depended entirely upon his ability and willingness to do that work. No gratitude is felt. There are no debts of service to be paid. They and he are Quits

Disaster to U.ele Tom c.mp..y.

At Olive Station, forty-fve miles
west OF M%issoula, Mont, last satur-
day morning, a special car contains
ing the Ed. Davis "Uncfe Toms
Cabin" company was burned, four
members OF the company 10 ing
their lives.
Most of the company escaped
without injury, and those stood
guard at the doors OF the car and
seized the unfortunates whose night
clothes were burning as they ran
from their berths and rolled them
in blankets. One man, crazed with
pain and e~nveloped in flames, broke
through the Gordon at the door, ran
and jumped into the river, from
which he was with difficulty e .
cued.
This is the company which ap.
peared in Battle Mountain several
weeks ago.

IN A FRryrLous VEIN.

The following are taken from the
Wells Herald and brother Vardy
says "a little nonsense now and
then is relished by the best OF men,"
and this being the case we give our
readers the following:
There is one young fellow in
town who ought to be ashamed of
the remark he made about one OF
Dur bellies. He said that she had
been lacing 50 tight that her waist
had become so small that when she
swallowed anything larger than a
pea it showed through.
Here is a unique verdict by a
coroner's jury on a ma who was
killed by a switch engine at Lath-
rop, CAL, the other day:
ave, the jury, find that the de-
ceased came to his death at the
hands OF a switch engine after
being sat on by the for two
hours and a half
On a chicken ranch, not far away,
Il few days ago an incubator went
wrong. In order to repair it, the
eggs had to be removed from the
machine, and to save them from
getting chilled while the repairs
were being made, the oma of the
house put the eggs in bed and got
in with them to keep them warm.
The repairing went slowly and the
lady remained in the bed with the
eggs for the space of twenty-four
hours. Nov the question to be
settled is: Who will be the mother
OF the chicks-the hen that layed
the eggs. the incubator or the wo-
man? And can these chicks lay
claim to having a mother, a STEP
mother and a grandmother?

A san DEATH.

died Tuesday night of scarlet fever.
She was taken sick last Saturday and
medical aid Immediately Summoned
aid everything was done for
the little darling that could be, hav-
ing the best Of medical attendance
and the constant attention OF de-
voted parents. Nothing, however,
could beat back the gradual approach
Of death. Her parents car hardly
realize that she has gone from them
because only a few days before she
was playing with her little brother
and sister and was in the enjoyment
Of good health.
Death has visited the home of
MI. and Mrs. Taylor and took from
their loving embrace a beautiful
flower which they had tended with
such care and now the flower is
blooming in a falrer and healthier
cline. Little Gladys was a beauti-
full child. While she was only ten
years old, yet she possessed many Of
the qualities belonging to woman
hood, and was bright and cheerful.
Gladys was to good and pure to re-
main in this world, SO Jesus said,
"Let this dear child come unto me-"
The gates Of heaven opened and
little Gladys entered in and now she
is with the Angels. May the parents
say as m Of old "Ihe Lord gave
and the Lord has taken away, blessed
be the name Of the Lord"
May God bless and comfort the
bereaved family.

THE BILL

Saturday the Assembly took up
Senate bill No. 70, the revenue bill
which was passed by the Senate. The
bill was amended by making the Gov
ernor instead Of the State Controller
the chairman of the State Board OF
Equalization.
The Senate cnncurred in the Assem-
bly, amendment and the bill goes to
the Governor. 1t reduces the present
State tax rate of 81 per 500 valuation
to so cents and creates a State Board
of Equalization, composed of the va
rious County Assessors of the State.
The bill is an experiment in the way
OF revising the evenue laws of the
State. Whether it will operate salts
factorily is a matter of doubt and will
require a thorough aud practical test
of the law.
The reduction Of the State tax from
81 to so cents will not operate to
make a proportionate reduction in tax.
alton, providing the intention Of the
law is carried out. The effect will be
the very reverse-taxatlon, for this
year at least, will be increased instead
of reduced. The reduction in the
State rate necessarily involves an in
crease III property valuation by the
State Board Of Equalization of the AS
SCISSORS of the various counties. This
is necessary in order that a sufficient
amount OF money may be raised for
the support of the State government.
This increase in property valuation will
of course, apply to the tax for county
and special purposes, the rates for
which have already been fixed by the
various Boards Of Commissioners of
the State. The result will be that the
property owner of the State must pay
an increased amount of taxes this year.
