Treasurer L. r. Merriclk has sus.
pended payment OF Livingston County
warrants issued since January 1.
The cause Of the Treasurer's action
was that he had received a notice
from Attorney e. Y. Mitchell, repre-.
sentihg w r. Carter, Jr., Spring.
field capitalist, that he held outstand-
ing warrants issued by previous coun.
ty courts, and that these warrants
must be paid out of the 1902 tax col.
lections before any warrants issued
in 1903 could be paid.
While Livingston County warrants
have been promptly paid during the
past few years, there are outstanding
warrants dating from 1880 that have
been declared legally issued. These
warrants and their accrued interest
amount to about $4,000.
Carter's holdings, recently acquired,
amount to $4,000. His attorneys con.
tention is that the law provides that
each years warrants must be taken
care of by that years taxes, and that
all the taxes collected from the 1902
levy after all warrants issued in 1902
have been paid constitute a surplus
which must be used in paying war.

with those first presented for payment

was standing over the two cubs, which also were dead, he having beaten the life out of them with his club. He stood moment gazing on the carcasses, then got down on hands and knees and drank the warm blood as it flow ed from the death wounds. The sight sickened me.
 ''I stood up in the boat and yelled. The man sprang to his feet, took a long look at me, then fled up from ledge to ledge until he reached the fourth ledge, where he stopped. Here he flourished his club again and screamed the widest, most un- earthly screech l ever heard , then turned and sprang onward up the craggy wall of the canyon.
 "Not fancying my wild neigh bor, l packed my outfit into the boat and drifted down and out of the canyon before l made camp for the night. That was the strangest adventure of my life.
 s'Tradition records that years ago hostile Indians captured three men, bound them to logs far up the canyon and cast them adrift upon the swollen river. It may be that this wild creature is one of those unfortunate men who, by chance, freed himself and escaped death, but was made insane by his awful experience"

Spring Ailments.

There is an aching and tired feeling; the liver, bowels and kidneys become sluggish and in- active, the digestion impaired, with little or no appetite, no ambition for anything, and a feeling that the whole body and mind needs toning up. The trouble is, that during winter, their has been an accumulation of waste matter in the system. Heroine will remove it, secure to secretion right exit. and by it's tonic effect, fully restore the wasted tissues and give strength in place of weakness. soc at Poynor & Morrow's.

stood my ground. When the creature was within about fifteen yards of me raised my rifle to fire, thinking to cripple him. As l glanced along the barrel I heard a deep growl just above the wild man. Looking up saw a she cougar and two half grown cubs. The mother cougar crouched, with tail flashing, ready to spring on the wild man. He also had heard the growl and he braced himself for the shock.
 ''I drew a hasty bead on the cougar and pressed the trigger. When the smoke had cleared away the mother cougar lay dead where the wild man had stood. The man himself had disappear ed. The two young cougars were still on the rock, apparently greatly frightened by the report and echoes of my old Sharp's rifle.
 Reaching hastily for a car- fridge I found l had neglected to buckle on my belt when leaving camp, so I hastily retreated to the boat, where I found every thing as had left it. l showed the boat off and drifted toward camp, which was near the cougar. There lay the old cougar where she had fallen. The wild man

It is a dandy for burns," Those who live on farms are especially liable to many accidental cuts, burns and bruises, which heal rapidly when Ballard's Snow Liniment is applied.

Mountain of Alum.

In China. about twelve miles from
the village of Lion Chel, there is a
mountain of alum. which. in addition
to being a natural curiosity. is a
source of wealth for the inhabitants
of the country, who dig from 1t yearly
tons of alum. The mountain is not
less than ten miles in circumference
at Its base and has a height of nearly
1000 feet. The alum is obtained by
quarrying large blocks of stone, which
are first heated in great furnaces and
then in watts filled with boiling water.
The alum crystalizes and forms lay.
er about six inches in thickness. This
layer is subsequently broken up into
blocks weighing about ten pounds
each.

CHIPPING RULE OF VALUE.
Wise Regulation Enforced by the New
Zealand Authorities.

A new set of shipping regulations
recently formulated In New Zealand
gives proof of the maternal care with
which the government looks after tho
welfare of the people. Every sea-go-
ing vessel that can be controlled by
the local authority must for the future
carry boat or raft fully fitted up with
provisions for use In case OF accl-
dent Provision is made for supply
of fresh water and of beef biscuits,
chocolate, tabioids and lime Juice. and
also Of fishing lines and hooks and
safety matches. So many desperate
tragedies have occurred around tho
New Zealand coast from time to time
after shipwrecks, through the dificul-
ty OF getting living necessaries into
the boats In the rush and excitement
of escaping, that the new regulation
in this regard seems to be wise pre-
caution. 1t is noteworthy that neither
rum nor tobacco is included In the
items of this novel manifest"
