CHICAGO SKY SCRAPER
SOLD TO PAY ITS TAXES
Masonic Temple, High s
Building in tho Windy City,
Falls U der the Ham NOR.

Chicago, July 3.-Tenants of the
Masonic temple, Chicago's highest Of
flee structure, which cost $4,000,000
were notified yesterday that the build
ing had been sold for taxes. Henry l.
Clos, the buyer, had large handbills
bearing the announcement printed and
distributed.
The sale under which Clos bases his
claim was made upon the 1899 tax as
sessment. The purchase was made
Oct. 3, 1900. The Masonic Temple as
sociation paid taxes upon the property
for that year and claimed it had paid
tne entire amount, but the county col
lector maintained there was still a
balance due and he sold the property
with Clos as the purchaser. If the
taxes are not paid by the association
before the redemption period, Oct 8
next, Mr. Clos says he will cause a
tax title to issue. Officers Of the as
ISOLATION refused to say what would
be done.
1t was not long ago that far-seeing
agriculturist in town on an excursion
from Wisconsin paid $400 for sixth
share in the twenty-two-story build
ing. He never got possession, because
the man to whom he had paid the s400
was a confidence man and owned no
part of the temple. But the sale today
Is regular.

tomfoolery for the state, is that Tom
Johnson is probably legally elected
mayor of Cleveland under the general
as we'll as under the special charter
Law under which the city has been op-
Grating. He went before the people
just as did Mayor Robertson. of Can
ton, Mayor Walker. of Alliance, or
any other mayor anywhere. He not
only went once. but he went twice, to
the satisfaction of tho lovers of home
rule and the confusion of his corpo-
rate enemies. II special session is
not held and some way is not devised
to get rid of him he will remain mayor
and will have his advisors about him
Just the same, under the general law.
SO the special session must be held
for the purpose of planning things
attempts to deny that the suit that
upset the charter and brought about
this chaotic condition was Instituted
solely and simply to confuse Tom
Johnson because he was disturbing
the railroads a bit by trying to get
them to pay their just share of the
taxes. Now the state must pay for the
furthering of this scheme in a special
session Of the legislature that Mr..
Price, who is good lawyer, declares
is not at all necessary to meet the
conditions existing in the great ma
iority of the cities. They are trying
awfully hard to make president of
the United States out of Johnson by
the Mckinley gerrymander route.

SILVER TUBES
.Prolonged Life Of Man Whose
Head Was Almost
, Severed.

Marysville, O., July 3.-Nelson shep-
herd, of Phernwood, died yesterday
morning from the effects of knife
wound inflicted by himself more than
week ago..
He sharpened his knife TO a keen
edge and drew 1t across the throat
just about the Adams apple, cutting II
clear through the spinal cord, so that
the muscles Of the neck could be plain
ly seen, and then alone held his, neck
from dropping on. A silver tube was
inserted in the windpipe and another
in the gullet, and by these means he
took food into the stomach and air
into the lungs. In this condition he
lived for over week.
Shepherd was wealthy farmer and
50 years old. He had no trouble with
his family and the cause of his rash

STRANGE MONSTER
Puzzles Scientists for Name.

New York, July "a strange crea-
ture, caught off the shore of Bermuda
early in June, has arrived here. on the
steamship Trinidad and has been
placed in the aquarium in Battery
park. 1t is over six feet long, formed
like snake, but with a head like that
of turtle and fms Ike fish. A long
bill for mouth gives it most ter
rifying appearance. which is rendered
more horrible by a pair OF glaring
eyes on the top Of its head. It's body
is brownish green color, and running
around Its middle are several bright
yellow stripes. n
The biologist who shipped the SER
pent here was unable to name it, and
the men in charge of the aquarium are
equally ignorant Of its nature.

SENATORS Pitchfork Tillman and
McLaurin had a rough and tumble
fight in the Senate Saturday last,
caused by Tillman stating that undue
influence had been used to secure the
vote OF his colleague on the peace treaty
with Spain. The Senate has become
very weary of Tillman's rantings, and
will now give the gentleman chance
to prove his assertions, and if he can't
do it possibly he may be expelled.
Both gentlemen are now tempo
rarily suspended, but McLaurin
has only to apologize for calling Till
man liar when he will be forgiven
and reinstated in the good graces of
the Senate. 1t was most disgraceful
affair, and should not he treated lightly
by the Senate, nor will it BE-. 1t is too
bad that the tar heels can not settle
their family troubles at home.
