Ornaments Station Grounds.

GTOOnUS
Officers of several of the big railroad
systems are considering plans to in
duce agents and others concerned tc/
make stronger efforts to beautify Sta.
ton grounds and buildings. Diring
the past year or two particular ,atten.
tions has been given to make fhe sta
tions more attractive. The Burlington
has accomplished great deal IN this
direction. Last year it issgled orders
to all employees that the grounds and
buildings adjacent to the company's
right-of-way must present a neat and
attractive appearance. The company's
gardener gave his especial attention
to beautifying the suburban stations
for forty miles OUT of Chicago. Before
last summer closed, switch shanties,
tool houses, yard offices, and round,
houses had BEEN prettily covered with
vines and the grounds about each
building converted into fine lawns over
which shrub.5ery had been planted.
during the Coming spring and sum-
mer this wor'k will be greatly extended
and in time the Burlington expects to
have the most ornamental station
grounds in the West.

One View Of Our women,

American women separate them
selves more each year from the life of
the country and affect to smile at any
Of their number who honestly wish to
be of service to the nation. They. like
the French aristocracy, arc perfectly
willing, even anxious, to fill agreeable
diplomatic posts at first class foreign
capitals, and are naively astonished
when their offers of service are not ac-
cepted with gratitude by the autholi-
ties at Washington. But let a husband
propose to his better half some humble
position in the machinery of our gov
ernment and see what the lady's
answer will be. A New York woman
was transplanted to western city,
where she was told that 1.-THE ladies of
the place expected her to become their
social leader" 81 don't see anything
to lead" was the amiable response

The hous..e p.uDieli is one that for
years has lain heavily on those with
small incomes in Paris.
Every day the French capital be.
comes more and more impossible as a
residence for poor people and, while
handsome houses grow more numerous,
reasonable lodgings become scarcer.
The poor no longer find it easy to se-
cure apartments at modest rental in
the city unless they are willing to be
confined in barracklike tenements on
the sixth or even seventh story or shut
off in a courtyard where they get very
little daylight and hardly ever see the
sun.
The workingman has therefore been
obliged to migrate to the outskirts of
the city. and whole suburbs, like La
Villette on one side of Paris and Gre
nellie on the other side, are now inhab-
ited exclusively by industrial colonies.
Every exhibition in Paris has
brought rise in rents oil around, and
today the landlords dues are higher
than ever. Less accommodation is
available in Paris for given rental
than in London. and the sanitary con-
ditions are generally inferior.
The better housing of the working
classes. however. is now beginning
to attract the attention of. reformers,
and when the extension Of the city
eventually takes place perhaps some
improvement will be effected.-Paris

the death of the beloved son of Com.

"Word has been received in this city
of the sudden death at Canton, about
midnight, of Arthur e. Tim,
editor of the farmers Leader of that
place. Mr.. Linn WAS taken i'll Monday
afternoon and during the afternoon
and evening he was under the doctors
care. His death was caused by an over
dose OF laudanum taken to relieve pain.
"Arthur Linn was we'll known in
SionN Falls. He has been a resident
OF Canton anumber of years, being as
sociated with his father in conducting
the Leader. When his father was ap-
pointed commandant of the Soldiers
Home the management fell on his
shoulders and he proved himself equal
To the occasion by running bright
newsy paper.
Word was received from the young
mans parents this morning to the
effect that they aud their daughter
who are in Hot Springs could not
arrive at Canton before Wednesday
and arrangements will be made to hold
the funeral Thursday morning. 1t is
likely that delegation of Elks will go
down from this city.
"Mr. Linn carried $1,000 insurance
in the Northwestern of Milwaukee
and $4,000 in the Modern Woodmen.
"He has been suffering for some
time With stomach trouble which
caused severe pains and h, has taken
laudanum to relieve his suFerings
anu on this occasion he accidentally
took an overdose which resulted
fatally"
The STAR extends its sincere sympa-
to Col. and Mrs. Linn in their sudden
and sad aAlicton. This writer has known
Arthur since he was small boy and
always regarded him as a splendid,
orlght, enterprlsing young man, and
his untimely death is greatly deplored.

with an axe, March 21st, shortly after the
family had got up from the dinner table,
He had been despOn dent, but nothing serious
was apprehended. He passed by his oldest
daughter, who was washing dishes, and re-
turning from the shed with axe in hand
felled her at his feet at one blow. Mrs
Mari ran screaming to the house of her
husbands brother, Samuel Marr, and her
husband went up stairs and killed the two
younger children, who were at play. When
questioned about it he said: 81 don't know"
He was arrested, arraigned in the municipal
mitted to the county Jail at Augusta to
await the action of the May grand jury.
Marr is a man about so years old. He has
always been sober, industrious man, quiet
and well behaved, well liked though not
very popular owing to his keeping SO much
to himself. He has been lab0rer, working
at various jobs, and always doing good work.
People have lately noticed that his pecu-
liarities had become more pronounced, but
still called it oddness and little dreamed that

Why Marr allowed his wife to escape
from the room perhaps may never be known.
He certainly had ample time to turn from
his first victim and kill his wife, but per-
haps the diseased brain had planned the
order in which they must die and he fol-
lowed the plan to the letter.
Noah Prescott, one of the officers con-
cerned in the arrest of Marr, had an excit-

The County Tax.

The County Commissioners met Tuesday
and assessed the county tax on the various
towns. Two years ago the county was free
from debt and had a balance of $4,000 in
the treasury. By orders of the Supreme
Court an expensive addition has since been
built to the court house, which has not only
used up that balance but made it necessary
to increase the county tax for the ensuing
two years from $4,000 to $4,000 per year
Following are the amounts apportioned to
the various towns as compared with the
former tax.
