WATCH DOG or The TREASURY.
ESQ. G. W. Hayes is Trying to Save
The People Money.


ESQ. Geo. W. HAYES promises TO earn
the sObriQuet The Watch Dog of the
County Treasury.
IL will be remembered that Mr..
Hayes opposed the appropriation by
the County Court of 81, 900 TO Trustee
CRANBERRY for clerk hire, and later filed
a bill 10 recover this money back to
the county. He also opposed report
made by a special committee appointed
BY the County Court and saved to the
county about 81, 500. This committee
had been appointed to nix the compen-
sation TO be allowed the twenty-five
district tax assessors. They b ought
in report making the compensation
the same as in past years: that is twen-
ty-five cents for each piece of realty,
personality and poll, twenty cents for
each piece of personality assessed OF
whatever amount, etc.
The law says that twenty-five cents
for each person assessed with realty,
personally and poll. and twenty cents
for each piece of personally where the
amount is over $1,000 After Mr..
Hayes had read the law to the County
Court and explained the difference,
the committee report was turned down
and compensation was allowed in &C
cordance with the law.
Under the old ruling of the County
Court, Mr. q. w. Irvine was allowed
$3.50 for assessing the taxes of the 9Th
district. Under the law Mr.. w. h.
Lipscomb. the present assessor, recei-
yes only $3.50 for assessing the taxes
of the same district; a saving to the
county of $500 in this district alone.
The saving in the entire county
amounts to nearly 81. 800.
Mr.. Hayes has already notified clerk
A. L. Thomas that he will oppose,
at the October term, the former al
lowance of $3.50 to the County Clerk
for making out the duplicate tax books.
County Clerks have been allowed by
the court as high as 81. 900 for this
work. Under the law, the clerk is
allowed ten cents per hundred
words, four figures to count as one
word.
In making out the books Mr. Thomas
has to divide each separate tax amount
into the proper channels. Say the tax
was $l5. A certain per cent. of the
amount would go to schools, per.
cent. to roads, etc. Much figuring is
required to make these divisions.
Only the result appears on the tax
book. Mr.. Thomas claims that he
should be paid for this outside figur-
ing, and that if he gets lawful COM
pensation for it he will receive even
more than the $3.50 allowed last
year.
Mr.. Hayes claims that compensa-
ton should be allowed only for such
work as the tax books thems elves
show, which would bring the total
below 5000; and that as a servant of
the people he is out to get the people
work done as cheaply as possible pro-
vided it is done we'll, and that he can
get man to give bond to make out
the books as well as they have been
made out in past year, for $3.50.

VICTIM OF BROTHERS. PRANK.
Twist of Wrist Caused Gill to Lose
Her Eyesight.

Although Miss Sarah Fowler. OF
this place, has apparently perfect eyes,
she cannot see, as a result OF a strange
accident, says a Beverly, N. j.,
special to the st. Louis Republic.
Several weeks ago she was playing
with her brother, when he suddenly
twisted her hand in fun. He re-
leased her at once, but the pain was
so intense that she was compelled to
90 to bed. The next morning Miss
Fowler was Mortified to find that she
was unable to see An ocullst who
examined her eyes, could not discover
the cause OF the trouble. Since that
time specialists from Philadelphia and
New York have met in consultation,
but have failed to relieve her. The
eyelids have become almost as hard
as iron. Only two cases of similar
nature are on record in the history OF
the optical world.

ARMOR-PLATE SKIN
Of This B ullet- Proof Burglar Is Puz-

(Chicago News.)


Officers of the Fiftieth Street Police
Station wore surprise and consterna-
ton on their countenances when
Thomas q. Downs, the bullet-proof
burglar, was thoroughly examined as
to his physic cal condition today. They
found bullet imbedded under his skin
in the small of his back. True. the
piece Of lead did not penetrate deeply
enough to disprove his reputation for
having an armor- plate hide. But the
bullet was there, and 1t is q matter Of
record at the Hyde Park Station that q
man answering the description of
Downs was shot at seven times by
Officers Meeham and Birmingham OF
Hyde Park on the morning OF August
25 at 2 :85 on Lake avenue, near Forty
first street.
Both officers are good marksmen, and
were surprised that their shots took
no effect. Downs confessed this morn
ing, however, that one bullet did strike
him, but caused no pain. He thought
it fiattened and fell to the ground,
but he still carries 1t.

PRINCE HENRY FLYING SOUTH
RODE IN ENGINE CAB PAST THE
ALLEGHANIES.

Was Going Down Grade Mt Sixty
Miles an Hour at the Time-stood
IL All Night Bat Was Covered
with Grime-Many Receptions
Along the Route 10 which the
Prince CheerfuIIy Responded.
Cincinnati, March 1.-Prince Henry
of Prussia traversed the states of
Maryland. Pennsylvania and Ohio to-
day, and tonight his special train is
speeding through Kentucky into Ten
nessee, with the batuefields of Chatta-
nooga as his final Southern goal. He
stopped for formal receptions at AL
toona, Pittsburg, Columbus. and Gin
cinnati, but the welcome extended to
him was not limited to these places.
Everywhere along the line after day
light came and until long after dark
ness the people gathered at the sta
tiOns to cheer him as he speeded along.
The storm that swelled the rivers TO
the danger point has passed away and
he saw a zone of three states in bright
sunshine. He saw a stretch of fifty
miles of the Allegheny mountains from
the cab of an engine and most of it
was down grade at a speed that thrilled
him. The train had lost two hours at
Portage by reason of a wreck to the
westward of that point, and when the
special got a clear track again an at
tempt was made to win back some of
the time that had been lost. At times
the swaying engine was running sixty
miles an hour and when the prince
left the cab he was almost as grimy
as the engineer. When not respond
ing to the receptions he was busy
sightseeing and studying a large map
which had been set up in his car. He
asked many questions as to the indus
tries of Pennsylvania and Ohio and
made extended notes on the margin
of the map.
The Prince left the dining table to
acknowledge the cheers of a small
crowd that had gathered about a wa
ter tank outside of Xenia. They num-
bered less than fifty, but when the
Prince heard that they wanted to see
him, he obligingly left the table and
went to the rear platform. He bowed
to the little crowd and then waved
his napkin, which he had carried out
with him.
Much Of the time lost at Portage,
Pa, was made up in Ohio, and unless
there are other unforeseen delays the
train will regain its position on the
schedule during the night.

GROWING cuMrT1E AND cAssAvA.
DeLand Also Finds Peach Crop
Profitable.

DeI.and, Fla. March 1.-The Seminole
Manufacturing company are to plant
about 1000 acres of cassava on their
plantation at Spring Garden near this
place. Last year they had in a little
over 600 acres and the crop turned out
about $50 tons of a superior grade of
starch. Having finished working up
the cassava the factory is being put
in shape for the grinding of cumtie
root which is to be sent to them from
their land down the Indian river. Mr..
Toombs, their superintendent, is draw
ing plans for a large starch factory for
the grinding of cumptie root to be
placed on their lands near Miami.
They have secured several thousand
acres of land there on which large
quantities of cumptie root is found and
Will put in a factory for the manufac-
ture of starch.
The orange trees in many localities
are looking fine and a fair crop is
promised. The peach trees are in
bloom and many have already set their
fruit. An abundant and very early
crop is expected. A very large acreage
of new peach orchards has been put
in this year and the industry is quite
a factor here. The profits have been
good and the cultivation of peaches
among the orange trees has been found
profitable and feasible.

DANGERS
OF COUGHS
CONTRACTED IN MARCH.

A cough contra cted in March mo
matter how slight is far more dam
gerous than at any other season of
the year, and for these reasons. The
blood at this season is thick, heavy,
sluggish and unable to throw off dis
ease germs. The throat and lungs, ir-
ritated from coughs and colds, are in
a weakened condition and ready to
receive and nourish the MILLIONS of
consumptive catarrh and bronchitis
germs which have lain dormant all
winter and are now being dried and
blown into the air by the March
winds
Every breath you inhale is filled with
these germs. If they are allowed to
remain on the inhamed membrane.
they begin to multiply with great RAJ
pidity. and it is thus that catarrh,
bronchitis, pneumonia and consump-
ton are contracted. Formerly there
was no possible way of preventing this
infection. but to-day it is only through
carelessness and neglect that such dis
eases can be contracted.
A few moments inhalation of the
new dry air germicide. Hyomei, morn
ing and night viii destroy every dis
ease germ taken into the throat and
lungs during the day, and it is through
this method only that such germs can
be reached and destroyed.
To breathe Hyomei means certain
death to all germs of respiratory dis
eases. 1t is only a question of time
depending upon how deeply these
germs have become imbedded, when
Hyomei viii reach them and destroy
them.
Common coughs are cured in twenty
four hours.
Group germs are destroyed in one
hour.
The germs of catarrh, bronchitis and

Philadelphia, March What is said
to have been the greatest flood that
has ever been experienced along the

disastrous in years, tore its way down
that stream last night and early this
morning and from its source to its
mouth 120 miles-damage that will

which had expanded to twice its width,
began to slowly recede.
