last year. The lcssenng of the levy
was justified. Mr.. lIockenberry de-
clared. because there would he little
or no expense 10 be met on the school
buildings or their repair. which was
not true of last year, when over
$4,000 was so expended. The levy for
the building fund this year he fixed at
3 mills; last year it was mills.
There was a long discussion over
Mr.. Hockanberrys motion. Mr.. Swell
CERT believed that the levy should re-
main the same as last year, in order
to reduce the interest on the loan of
800 ZOO which the board obtained from
the Miners and Mechanics bank.
After the question was well can
vassed. the tax levy was decided upon
as II mills but on motion of Mr.. Swell
CERT. s1l, 900 was transferred from the
sinking fund to wipe out a part of the
twenty thousand dollar loan.
There were several minor matters
disposed Of
Tlr- rules as found in the state laws
were adopted for the government. of

A WORD FOR YOUNG MEN.

From The Nashville American.
Wealth cannot make a man, and a
genius may be a failure. Industry,
energy. stick-ability, common sense
and sober, steady habits will insure
any young man success. If he has
not the capacity to make a fortune,
the chances are that he has not the
judgment to hold To wealth if it
should lie given 10 him. The great
majority of men prominent in the
worlds affairs have climbed the lad
der from the bottom rung. 4 list fill
ing many columns might be cited in
support of this assertion. President
McKinley's Cabinet affords an in
stance. Secretary Hay was clerk in
early life, Secretary Gage began as
a bank clerk; Secretary Root set out
for himself as school teacher; POST

A Queer Will.

Twenty-Five thousand dollars in bills
will be publicly burned by order OF the
Probate Court, unless a clause in the
will of Harvey Scott, which was filed
with Judge Hutter is knocked out by
the courts, says the Fairbault, Mime
sofa, correspondent of the Chicago
Record Herald. Scott, who was SO
years old, left an estate valued at $5O.-
900, half Of which is in bank notes and
United States currency. The object OF
the will is supposed to be to deprive
his legal heirs-three in number-of
any share in his money. The heirs
have protested on the ground that the
administrator has no more right to de-
stroy the money by fire than he would
have to destroy buildings. They will
make fight in the courts against the
carrying out of the terms Of the will.

SHE RUNS RIVER PACKETS.
of Her Ser In the Dusa-
ness.

At La Grange, Mo-, an important
landing for steamboats, on the Missis-
sippi river, Miss Lena Bohnon is the
duly accredited agent of packet
company and discharges all the du-
ties of the Office to the satisfaction of
all concerned. She enjoys the unique
distinction of being the only member
of her sex to fill such position, either
in this or any other country, and is
proud of the fact, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
1t is only recently that it has been
possible for a woman to successfully
discharge the duties of such an office.
Years ago the steamboat agent was
a man. lie had to be, because he had
to hustle aboard arriving steamers
and then hustle off as the gang-plank
was being hauled in. Then he had
frequently to mingle with the roust-
abouts.
But there are not as many steam
boats now as there used to be, and
the business isn't done in the same
way. This may. in part, account for
Miss Lena Bohon's position. She was
appointed in 1898 after the death of
her father, who had been the agent Of
the Diamond Joe line for 40 years. She
is now agent for five steamers, three
plying between st. Louis and st. Paul
and two between Keokuk and Quincy.
Miss Bohon has no assistant. She is
always ready for duty at the old-fash-
toned wharfhouse. When steamboats,
at night announce their approach Miss
Bohon, who lives with her mother five
blocks away, hastily dresses. picks up
her lantern and hurries to the landing
place. II she desires the steamer to
stop she flashes her lantern in a GER
tain way.
officials of the packet companies aver
that she is one of the most faithful.
accurate and capable agents in their
employ She sells tickets. makes out
freight bills and receipts, collects
weekly accounts with the merchants
and other shippers and checks off
every bale of hay. bushel of wheat or
tub of butter that goes on board a
boat. She oversees personally the re-
ceiving and discharging of freight.
At the age of is the affairs of the
Office could be safely intru,ted TO her
care during a short absence OF her
father. She grew up in the atmos-
phere of this active life and her de-
sire to continue in its environment il
but natural.

THE TAX DECISION.

The Examiner of the 18th publishes
the following as the pertinent para
graphs Of Judge Hawley's recent de-
cision in the Southern Pacific Tax case
1t is a mootej question upon which
there Is ample room for q wide differ
ence of opinion as to whether or not II
(the State assessment law will &C.
complish the beneficial purposes ex-
pressed in the title for more uniform
valuation and assessment of property
in this State. 1t does not require the
valuation of all property under it's pro-
visions, or of any particular species ol
property, but leaves these matters to
the discretion of the State Board oi
Assessors. The provisions OF section
recognize the fact that there is prop
erty within this State which cannot be
designated into classes Of property,
and hence cannot be valued by the
State Board. Who is to determine
this matter? Is it not left 10 the
board at its option to decide this ques-
tion? Itmay divide one or more spe-
cies of property into classes of prop
erty and be Of opinion that the other
property will not admit Of a uniform
value if divided into classes. Its
power in this respect is unlimited.
The Act contemplates that the board
may do this and in section 5 provides
this: "The Assessors of the several
counties of this State shall fix value on
all property not SO designated at said
meeting in the manner now provided
by law" 1t will thus be seen that
the present Act, instead of closing the
gates against injustice, leaves the door
wide open for all sorts of discrimina
ton.
Railroads are OF a more complex
character than the other species OF
property above named and it is argued
by complainant that it cannot be d.
vided into "classes OF property" un-
der the present Act. But, be that as
it may, it is apparent that the at
tempted valuation in this case cannot,
either upon reason or authority, be
sustained because the action taken by
the State Board OF Assessors in valu-
ing the Southern Pacific Railroad by
name. without making any class OF
property of railroads, was not within
the power granted by the Act under
consideration, and upon that ground
alone, without passing upon the other
points, my conclusion is that COM
plainant is entitled to the injunction
prayed for. Let the decree be entered
accordingly.
