According to the New York Herald,
several accidents, more or less serious,
have of late resulted from the acci-
dental drinking of disinfectants kept
in bottles originally used for water. 1t
illustrates the careless manner in
which poisons are often kept about
house and the need for some reform
in the way in which these dangerous
fluids are handled.

Nothing has yet been heard ir
official quarters of the uItimatum
delivered to China by Japan and
England, according to the Odessa
dispatches. 1t is certain that the
United States has not recently been
approached In this direction by
either of the governments named as
parties to the agreement SO that it
has had no opportunity to indicate
whether or not it would lend its
moral support to an effort on the
part OF England and Japan to pro-
tect their interests In Manchuria.

commercial museums which Mexico
Is gradually establishing through

have to sell. The scheme is under
the charge of the department. Of

ported by the Mexican congress.
The Mexican exposition in Milan,
Italy, Is now in full operation, and
proving great success. The rext
to be installed is that, of Liverpool,
where every raw product that Mex
leo has to export to Europe will be
shown. The governors of the vari-
Gus stat,s of Mexico have been
called upon to furnish samples oil
the principle productions, including
woods, flores, cotfees, sugars, ce-
reals, minerals, and stellar articles
to be sent to Liverpool. 1t is likely
that tle next museum to be set up
will be at some Genital poirt the

new TAX LAW
INTO EFFECT.
Object is to COdify and Simplify
the Existing Tax Laws
in the State.
WILL BEGIN DEC. 20.

A new tax law, entitled IAN act
for the assessment and collection OF
taxes" passed,by the last legislature
md approved April 8, 1903, will &C
into effect December 20 next.
The object of the new law is to
codify and simplify the existing tax
laws of tho state relative to local OF
municipal taxation. 1t does not affect
the assessment of railroads and canal
property by the state board of assess
ors under the act of 1864, nor the
franchise tax levied under the Voor-
bees act of 1900.
The act does not attempt to tax
things or persons that were not tax
able before it's passage nor does it
attempt to exempt from taxation tho
things which before its passage were
taxable, except in the case of "build-
ings and tho land whereon the same
are situate, belonging to any society
or incorporated company formed for
Gne purpose anu aCGudlly ohSaSou AL
the work of preventing cruelty to
animals"
The acts designed for raising state
revenue, such us the miscellaneous
corporation tux act, the railroad and
canal act and the collateral inherit
,nce tax act, are not affected or re-
pealed by the law.
The essential principle of the new
act is that all property, real and per-
sonal, within the jurisdiction of New
Jersey, and not expressly exempted by
the act or excluded from it's opera
lions, shall be subject to annual taxa
tion at its true value.

Chase Sherman Cassell was the
younger son of the late Mr. James
Cassell. He was born on the
farm three miles east of Attica
on March 19, 1865. In 1885, at
the age of twenty, he went to
North Dakota, where his brother,
Morton, had preceded him, and
assumed the management of a
large farm owned by Col. G.. G..
Thompson and Morton CasseI.
During that time his brother
opened an abstract Office at Sher-
brooke and several years ago
Chase took charge of the bust
ness while Morton divided his
time between the legislature ard
farming interests. Chase was
in the abstract business at the
time Of his death.
On June IA, 1900 he married
Miss Elsie Brown at Minneapolis
and to them daughter was born
two years ago. Mother and
daughter survive, besides the
brother already mentioned and a
sister, Miss Victoria Cassel], of

goitre. An operation was per-
formed on last Saturday, but it
gave him no relief and death
came at o'clock the following
