r. M. ". Nash, CITY. Dear Sir:

Es
AS you are chairman of the committee
on taxes, write you in regard to a very
hagrant error innmy list OF items Of the
year just closed After I had made out
In good faith and signed and sent in my
list, 9, laundering agent or assessors as
sistant, without any reason or knowledge,
placed a piano among the items; and he
admits doing it and the assessor is con-
WINGED Of the blunder 81
Now as matter OF fact, I do not and
never did own piano, and never even
hired one. It is true we once kept a
friend 8 over winter several years ago
but they paid thestaxes.
Let me say briefly that If an error can
be committed and If the commissioners
are responsible men in correcting them,
here Is a case the mere statement of
which ought to leave no room for but one
decision; yet after waiting for weeks I
am informed that the commissioners ac-
tually disallowed the claim or Endorsed
the blunder. i cannot fancy that the com
missioners have been tempered with on
such a small matter, but something is
very Tar wrong somewhere when a citizen
is subject to such gross injustice. It is
not the amount involved, but it is the
principle, or Its utter absence, that is at
stake. AS have said, the matter is
small In amount, but that does not affect
the nature Of the transaction.
might say that the commissioners
treated me very justly and handsomely
by dtsallowing tax on a loss about four
years ago, even tho one by the name Of
Dunn turned us all down. piece OF
most fragrant injustice. An
Now, / hope I can assume that the
mere mention Of these facts relating to
the piano Is ali that is necessary with
men Of your standing to secure Justice
| II you correct any errors Of your own.
Yours truly, ST
| "A. G. Bennett.

now between Dunn and his friends and
the administration people. Whether an
alliance will result, only time will tell.
| The Aitkin Republican, an administra-
ton paper, indorses the prediction of its
contemporary, the Aitkin Age, in the fol-
lowing:
'The current issue Of the Age contains
prophesy that Former Auditor Dunn
will be the republican candidate for gov
ernor next year, or Governor Van SAINT
will succeed himself. The sources of in
| formation of the Age on this matter are
so reliable that it may be taken for
granted that Mr.. Dunn has cut loose from
Jim Hill influence. And this will make
1t easy for scores Of Mr.. Dunn's warm adj
mirers to support him for governor; for
while the latter is personally popular
| thruout the state, the fear Of railroad
domination is so great that any man al
legged to be in sympathy with the interests
and purposes Of the president Of the Great
Northern would be sure to have great
deposition for the republican nomination
! for governor. And it has been an open
secret for some time past that Mr.. Dunn
has been friendly to the railroad merger
proposition. The counties Of the northern
part of the state would probably line up
almost ssolidly for Mr.. Dunn at the state
convention, for In him they have ever
had a friend at court since he has entered
public life.
Paul Fontaine, a well known populist
leader in the days when populists cut
some figure, writes as follows: ss
= We look with favor on Frank M
Eddy IS candidacy for governor. From a
number Of hot campaigns fought In his
old district we learned to know him well.
| He can count upon receiving thousands
Of the independent peoples party and
farmers alliance votes of the state.
Roosevelt and Van SAINT for national
ticket, r.. M. Eddy for governor and Rob-
Iert Jamison for congress would make a
strong team against the field.
My future position in politics will be
nonpartizan. I am for measures and
men. =
The Graceville Enterprise, an indie
pendent journal, speaks frankly Of the
situation up there as seen by its editor.
He says:

trict it looks as tho Volstead and Young

BLIZZARD IN THE WEST. One of the
worst blizzards in recent years has been
raging in Chicago since early yesterday
morning, and has caused much damage
to telephone and telegraph wires. The
storm commenced with a fall of rain
which later changed TO snow, and last
night has changed back to rain. The
storm has been accompanied by a gale
of forty eight miles an hour. Many per-
sons have been badly injured by falls,
the pavements being sheet of ice. A
blizzard is raging throughout eastern
and southern Wisconsin The snow is
drifting badly. Railroad trains and
street car traffic are considerably ham,
pered. Rain, hail, and snow prevailed in
the last twelve hours over Missouri, with
thunderstorms in Missouri, south CEN
trail Kansas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
In western Missouri the rain turned to
sleet, damaging wires to greater or less
extent, but causing no serious trouble.
All trains in and out of Kansas City we're
delayed slightly.

BITTEN BY MAD Doc AND Car
Charles Ryman, farmer living at St
Lukes, six miles from Woodstock, le."s
that place yesterday morning for the
Baltimore Pasteur institute to be treated
for possible hydrophobia. He had with
him his three-year-old son and eighteen
months-old daughter. Ryman was
bitten nine days ago by his dog, and the
children were bitten on Sunday by
pet cat. Eighteen hogs, two horses,
and a COW and her calf, and the cat have
developed symptoms of hydrophoba.
The dog was at large two days before he
was killed, and it is not known how
much additional damage has been
inflicted. There is great excitement in
the ..n yhborhood, and any suspicious
boxing domestic animal will pay the
penalty on the spot

KILLED FATHER AND Son. CPL
pay you in lead coin,'' William King is
alleged to have said to James Rogers,
near Florence, S. c., yesterday, when
Rogers asked remuneration for taking
care of Kings setter dog which had
strayed and been taken up by him. He
drew his pistol and fred. According to
the story told by witnesses, Sam, the
eighteen-year-old son, ran up at this
moment and said eff you shoot pa,
you will have to shoot me too" King
turned the pistol on the boy and one
bullet killed him instantly. Then he
fred three more shots into the fathers
body, completing the deadly work. Mrs.
Rogers cried out: "You have killed my
baby" 'I'll kill the whole family"
said King, putting the barrel of the pis-
tol in her face and pulling the trigger.
The weapon was empty. King then
went off. He told his wife TO notify the
sheriff that he would not be taken. The
Rogers are poor people. King is of the
country-storekeeper class. He seemed
to have thought that Rogers intended
stealing bis dog. They cared for the
animal when it came to their house, and,
as soon as they ascertained the owner,
notified King. The story of the killing
is given by several eye-witnesses.

FoUGHT TO DEATH.-Mark Ward, of
Fairchance, Pa, is dead, the result, ac-
cording to the allegations of several wit
nesses, of an attack upon him by Omar
Stewart, an old schoolmate and associate
from the same town. Both are promi-
nent. The two met in Uniontown, Pa, /,
Saturday and clashed. They started OFT

their school days. The police interfered
