BETWEEN TWO CARS
An Illinois Contra FIagman Serious
Iy Mashed.
He Jumped Just in Time to Escape a
Horrible Death.

p. G.. Rose, a fisgmsn residing at
692 South Tenth street, city, is lying
at his home seriously injured, the re-
suit of an accident in the Princeton
yards yesterday afternoon which came
near costing him his life.
Rose was in the act OF uncoupling
the chains that held two strings Of
cars together, the drawhesd having
pulled out on the road, and while in
between the cars the engine began to
back and caught him in between the
cars mashing his sides and fracturing
a right rib besides injuring his chest
and crushing his night arm. He was
brought to the city and taken to the
hospital and later to his home, where
he now lies. He had a narrow escape
and had he not jumped out when he
did might have been crushed to death.

in his 1.-THE delinquent tax oollector's)
hand for collection, the collector may
distrain the goods and chsttels owned
by or in the rightful possession OF the
person from whom the tax is due, not
withstanding the existence of any lien
upon the same, and may proceed to
sell, for cash, the title Of such persons
to so much thereof as will pay the tax
due the cost Of sale, after first sdver-
Using the sale as constables are re-
quired to do in sales under execution /;
the cost Of such sales shall be two dol
lars for the benefit Of the tax collector.
He shall have the power to sue out,
in any Justices court in the county,
attachment on said tax bills, and the
proceedings shall be same as attach
ment proceedings for the collection OF
state taxes He shall make daily re-
ports to the auditor of collections,
giving him a duplicate receipt from
the treasury for the collections, and he
shall make settlement with the aud
itor whenever demanded"
1t is plain that the delinquent tax
collector will have plenty to do, and
that he will get SO for every sale he
makes to satisfy claims for back taxes,
and it is reasonable to presume will
consequently have a good many sales.
The question is, If the city clerk has
a right to be delinquent tax oolleo-
tor, position created by the charter
and a city office requiring the same
qualification as treasurer, thus caus-
ing him to be unlawfully holding two
offices at the same time, who is going
to do this extra work for him? Didn't
the council only recently have to
give him an assistant because Of his
having to work so hard? And is 1t
right to pile all this additional work
on him now Just as he was entering a
season Of rest?
The public will seriously object to
this, because it does not want the city
clerk to be overworked. II no one
else is competent to be delinquent
tax collector, for goodness sake give
the clerk another assistant, so be
can do his work well-and not neg
lect the collection of back taxes at
extra pay!

LIVED IN KENTUCKY
A Quaint Gravestone Found out in
Kansas by Preacher.
The Deceased Formerly Lived in
Graves and Died on Way West.

A letter from Kansas preacher is
going the rounds, and is Of unusual
interest in this part of the state, as
the man mentioned formerly lived in
Graves and has many relatives in this
section yet, although they are hard
to locate. The letter is as follows:
Havensville, Kan, Sept 5-on
the old California trail, near here, is
a grave covered by a fiat stone with
the following inscription upon it;
rs. NJ. Marshall, wadesboro, KY,
died May 81, ls49." As there were no
settlers here at that time the man
must have died ON his way to Cali
fornia. Thinking possibly that the
man might have some relatives still
living in Kentucky who would be in
terested, write to call attention TO
Il. I will cheerfully answer all let
tiers Of inquiry in regard to the mat
ter. Very respectfully,
W. II. BROWN,
Pastor of Baptist Church.

THE BACK TAX GRAFT.

Not long ago 1t was claimed that
rthe city clerk needed an assistant, ow-
ing TO the arduous duties imposed on
him under the new charter, and con-
trary to law the Office of assistant city
clerk was created by the council at an
additional expense to the people of
$500 year, and an assistant was in
due time appointed.
Here within a short time after this
assistant is appointed to relieve the
city clerk of some of his work, at ad-
ditional cost to the taxpayers, we find
him appointed delinquent tax collec-
tor. It seems that If the city clerk
desired to escape extra work and he
was sincere in his claim Of needing an
assistant, he should have declined this
last Office on the plea that he has all
he can attend to without attempting
to collect back taxes.
The taxpayers may see how they
have been imposed on when they real
ize that the city clerk has been reliev-
ed Of some of his duties, in addition
to having an Office created at an extra
cost of $500 a year to the people,
which benefits him indirectly, and yet
has time to accept another office-with
more pay. The law relative to back
tax collector is as follows:
