The farmers may not know it, but
the proposed tax reform is stab at
them. In most instances their lands
are not assessed now for what they are
worth, but the tax commission insists
that they shall be thus assessed. There
are those, like the commission, however.
who have it in for the farmer to such
an extent that they are actually clamor-
ing that the burden of taxation shall
be borne by them to a much larger ex.
tent than at present, and yet these same
artful fellows undertake to say that
those who believe in just and equita-
bic taxation are ignorant Of the condi-
tions.

The sentiment prevails in Clarlsburg
that men who hayesmoney to invest can
ind NO better place tn4n Clarksburg for
the purpose. The stability. of the icity's
industrial and commercial foundatsons Is
sufficient to justify large Investments,
not only in real estate, but also in all
legitimate lines of business. It Is graf
flying 10 know that there is a confidence
in the future of the city which is re-
suiting in the formation of concerns
which, by their nature, indicate that the
leading and shrewdest business men OF
the city believe that their Investments
will be profitable and that money in
vested in enterprises here is bound TO
bring substantial rturns.- These invest
meuts keep home money ut home and
naturally attract money and business
from outside sources. This being so,
1t is a mistake to invest elsewhere, and,
especially, when the opportunities ut
home are more assuring than away from
home.

Ii there j. any reason why the one

yet that is what the proposed tax re-
form proposes TO have done. In that re-
spect the present system certainly del
eyrtes less power. as the responsibility
is not delegated to one man, but to two
officials. whose interests are not cspec.

1t is minated that there Is a move
on foot to put up the price of hauling.
Transfers ought then to pay a license
for wearing out the streets of the city.
In other wonds, there are many who own
nothing but-a team or so, and they are
constantly wearing out the streets whici,
those who already pay for hauling have
to keep UP by taxation. Every team
ster should have n fair compensation for
the services of himself. horses, wagons
and his empsoes. but when he places
himself where he proposes to dictate the
price of hauling and raise it because of
the fact that there can be no competi-
ton, it is time for the city to see that
be helps to pay for the paved streets
and street repairs.

The movement to introduce the water
meter in this city is along the right
line. 1t is strictly business. Every
man should be willing to pay for what
he gets. and the meter system success
fully operation will thus result. There
is no consumer who is honest in his
dealings that can object to it, and it
will bc found n matter of economy by
the city. 1t is proposed to put in a
certain number as test. The test
cannot be otherwise than successful. if
it is properly attended to. and being
successful. it Is then the duty of the
city TO the citizens generally to adop,
the system and extend it a quickly
as practicable until every one who uses
water from the city water works pays
for what he ert-. No more and no less.

mess proposition that concerned them

It Is to be hoped by ali the people Of
clarksbnrg generally that the outcome
Of the litigation over the jackson Iron
and Tin Plate company win be the re-
sumption of operations there on an ex-
tensivc and constant scale. That enter
prise gave tho people Of clarsssburg much
hope when 1t first started, but the man
ncr in which it has been run, or, rather,
the fact chat 1t has mot run 70 amount

for ciarksburg. The existence of such

active operation, is great thing. but if
idle, it is a bad thing. Better that It
had not been undertaken, if It is not to
be operated.

, The remarkable statement is made by
the tax commission that there can be
no fair and equitable system of taxa
;tim under our worn-out and out-of date
constitution. If this be true, why should
tl'e commission not impress upon the
people the necessity of new constitu-
ton and then different tax system!
The keynote to the situation, accord
ing to their contention, is new con-
stitution first. Then, why not use eff
forts in that direction, instead of devot-
ing them TO the alleged tax reform, as
now proposedi Strike at the bottom

In n decision in the United States Dis
trict Court III Kansas City Judge John
+. Phillips has held that insurance com
panies may enforce the anti-suicide
clause where previously entered into by
the insured. The decision was in the
case of james Whitfield, well-known
sporting editor, who killed himself.
Whitfield was insured for 5000, receiv-
ing policy that containe! clause spec
flying that $500 only should be recov-
cred in case of suicide. Although the
statutes of Missouri declare that insur-
ance companies may not make suicide
defense in refusing to pay a policy,
Judge Phillips held that cas- the pleading
of the contract III question voluntarily
entered into by the parties goes merely
to the question of the amount of the
recovery, and not to defeat Il recovery,
my conviction is that the plaintiff is just
ly entitled to recover the sum of 5000.

MOB HYpNoTIsT IN DAKOTA.
People Are Angcred by Failure TO Re-
vive a Subject.

vive a Subject.
All the residents of Lamont, S. D., are
excited over the results of visit of q
travelling hypnotist and the condition OF
Ole Rasmussen, who has been III q trance
for several days. The hypnotist gave
an exhibition at Lamont, during which
he put young Rasmussen TO sleep and
then buried him. The next evening the
subject was "resurrected" and taken to
the school house, which was crowded..
The lecturer then attempted to restore
the young man to consciousness Ills
first attempt failed to produce the de-
sired result, and so did the second and
third. The lecturer began to show signs
Of uneasiness, but most people in the au-
dience thought his work to be part of
the performance. After repeated efforts
with the same fruitless results the lee
turer became excited, lost his self-control,
tainted and fell to the platform. Real
izing the desperate situation, the audi
ence was instantly in state of greatest
excitement The lecturer was trampled
under foot by the Infatuated mob and
would have been killed but for the pres
ence of a few men, who took him to
farm house and locked him in a bed
chamber. In the midst of the uproar at
the school house the hypnotist regained
consciousness and fled through q window.
After q moment of hasty consultation
physicians were sent for, but of the half
a dozen or more who have visited Ras-
mussen not one has been able to revive
him.

tain Meadow massacre, from which ne

deeds ever committed by the western In
dams. II occurred in Santa Clara
County, Utah, and, it was supposed, I'M
