600 TO ASSESSMENT
M'kIRBIN WANTS TO BE
PERSONALLY PROTECTED
Fears He Will be branded by People
as in Favor of Raising Money for
Politicians to LootH-Many Retailers
Are Summoned, But Get no Hearing.

It was a great disappointment to
three score Of the retail merchants
OF ST. Paul that they were not allowed
to tell their troubles to the state board
OF equalization yesterday. The board
had cited about sixty of the merchants
to appear before it yesterday after
noon and show cause why their indi-
vidual assessments should not be rails
ed from 10 to 20 per cent.
Joseph McKibbin,. who represents
Ramsey county on the board and "the
st. Paul jobbers in particular" as Nor
itz Helm puts it, made a political
speech in which he declared against
any raise in the goods and merchan-
disc item as applied to Ramsey county.
IF there should be an increased as
sessment of so per cent in Ramsey
county the people would brand me as
being in favor of raising money for
the city hall crowd to loot" said Nc
Kibbin. "The assessment of Ramsey
county should be taken as a whole,
and there should be no Individual in
crease in assessment. Real estate is
vastly overtaxed in this city and this
is recognized by owners and dealers.
They were willing to bear the brunt of
the tax burden rather than have it
distributed on the manufacturers and
merchants"

cent. This adds $455,000 to the valua-

SMALLPOX NEAR LEwEs

One case of smallpox and one or two
suspects are among the colored folks at
Nassau, about three miles above Lewes.
The parties had been over in the western
side of the county, where there has been
more or less of the disease for the past
year, and it was there that they con-
tracted it.
One woman, who was broken out with
the disease, walked from Bridgeville to
Lewes along the Queen Anne railroad
and when her presence became known it
caused much excitement among the far
mers. One guarded his home with a
shotgun, and when the woman ap-
preached shouted to her that he would
shoot her if she dared venture that way.
She then went to Nassau in roundabout
way, where she was compelled to take re-
fuge in a vacant farmhouse, and the
Board of Health was notified. Drs. Orr
and Hall examined one suspect at work
at the Fisheries Company's plant, but
pronounced his case other than smallpox.
