AS appears from the new assessment
| roll which was turned over to the city
clerk Monday, the assessed valuation Of
| taxable property in this city is now
50, 133, 467, as against s1l69,965 which
was the valuation last year. The new
valuation is, in round numbers, withir
two hundred thousand dollars of being
double that of year ago, the assess
ments approximating the full value o
property in compliance with the de
mands of the Tax Commission. OF Thu
amount, SSO4,S42 falls upon persona
property and 81 1855 upon real estate
The value of the land itself is 1857 CSC
while everything in the shape of build
ings has been assessed at $730,975. Tn
increase in the valuation should not ma
terially affect our taxes as the rate vii
be proportionately lower.

GAINESVILLE.

The Elk saloon on North Main street,
owned by Harry Van Glider, lost Sl.o0,
some whiskey plug tobacco ane cigars,
as the result of visit by burglars Sat
urday night. The damage done to the
fixtures of the place amounted to much
more than the booty secured by the
thieves
While trying to pry some brass staple
fasteners from some legal documents,
Ralph Morse, the 6-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs Orville Morse, allowed the knife
to slip and strike him squarely in the
eye, penetrating the pupil deep enough
to strike the lens. The accident will cost
him the sight of his right eye.
The Milwaukee railroad company has
decided on taking the old freight depot
to pieces and removing it to the east
side of the river in the vicinity of the
present freight depot and using it as
storehouse. The company needs such a
building in connection with their pres
ent place, and it will be put together IN
close proximity to the new building. The
old passenger station will be torn down
as soon as the new one is completed and
the lot now occupied by the passenger
station will be cleared up and made as
attractive as possible.
The men who robbed the safe at the
office of the Street Railway company
on Friday night, obtained but $50 in
cash. They also got two checks, one for
$3.50 and the other for S.. After they
left Night Waterman Quirk lying on the
floor, they went to the plant of the
GAINESVILLE pearl button factory and
forced open one of the rear windows.
Failing to drive the combination through
the safe door, they tried to blow up the
safe with nitroglycerine. About this
time Chief Hogan arrived at the Elec-
trio works, and the robbers were evil
IDENTIFY frightened away. They left the
$50 in cash and the two drafts.

New Use for Refined Paraftine Wax.

A new and important use for Refined
Parafine Wax seems to have been dis
covered by prominent resident of Ohio
living near Lancaster, who had two trees
badly damaged by storm, one being a
maple and the other an apple. In each
case large limb was broke down from
the trunk, but still attached to it. The
limbs were propped up and fastened Sc
curely with straps, very much as brok-
en- leg might be fixed up with splints
and then melted refined wax poured into
and over all the cracks. The surgical
operation" was entirely successful. The
Parafine prevented the escape of the
sap, kept out the rain and moisture
which would have rotted the trees, pre-
vented the depredations of insects, and
the limbs seem thus far to be perfectly
re attached to the trees.

During the past week the harvesting
of the new crop has continued and con-
siderable proportion of it is now safely

the local representative of Arendt & Son,

M1AMIsBURG, O., Sept. Is, 1902.

The crop of this year is nearly all har-
vested. A frost Sunday morning scorch-
ed the top leaves in spots of wet soil on
uplands, and farmers have since lost nc
time in hurrying the belated patches in
to the shed. The injury from frost was
sustained mainlysby the seedleaf variety
the thinner having previously been near
ly all harvested Farmers would do well
to keep strictly separate all tobacco
shielded since September 18th, and not
contaminate the portion of the crop har-
vested earlier. The general rain on Fri
day last has greatly facilitated and i'm
proped the curing of tobacco in the
sheds. The crop is reported as curing
satisfactorily, and some is fit to strip

 Within Two Months is Recorded.
 Meriden, June 24.-The ninth suicide in eight weeks was recorded yesterday. when Kalman Leyistone killed himself by drinking carbolic acid. It is now the firm belief here that q suicide club has a fiourishing existence. The nine self-indicted deaths have come one week apart. Besides this, two attempts at suicide have been made without fatal results.
 Levistone was a prosperous Hebrew merchant and very popular among his associates. There absolutely is no known reason why he should die by his own hand His son, local con stable, was with him until a late hour Sunday night. He says his father was in his usual good spirits. A few hours after this son left Mr Leyistone at. tempted to kill his wife by permitting their sleeping apartments to fill with Illuminating gas. She awoke and shortly afterward discovered the dead body of her husband.
 This city is getting an unenviable reputation, owing to its suicide epi- demic. and it is feared the end is not yaf

 ssTHE LOTUS EATERS"
 Synopsis.
 The suggestion of the ''Lotus Eat ers' was derived from the odyssey and deals with the wanderings of a band of mariners who were shipwreck- ed near the valley of the Lotus. They subsisted on the root of this flower, and while partaking of it's substance, became so eneryated, that though long ing to return to their native land, they were lost in peaceful enjoyment of tl| present.
 The different pictures prc|>nted are suggestive of the following phases in the sojourn of the Lotus Eaters, as well as the emotions they experience: l. Suggests entrance into the Lotus Valley.
 ?. Sadness and yearnings for native land.
 3. The Hebes, cup bearers. ! A. Submission, cross form. l T. Offerings of Lotus leaves.
 6. State of perfect contentment in which they are reveling, having no de- sire to return to their country. | Serenade Notfe Dame Orchestra | yiolins--Misses T.. Holohan. l.. Loughlin. l.. Kilroe.
