"A Big Increase in the Number OF
Those Who Pay ssPersonal''
Tax Tribute. +

The list of all persons in Mile Lacs
county who pay a personal property
tax is published herewith. The list is
much larger than year ago. Last
year the list contained 948 names, and
there are 1,177 names in the list this
year. Some of the old regulars have
fallen by the wayside, while many new
ones have appeared, the increase being
mostly in new settlers in the county.
This publication is not official and is
made simply as a matter of information
to those who are curious enough to
know what the people pay in the way
of personal taxes. The list, like all
personal property tax lists, is glaringly
inconsistent, and furnishes food for
thought.

Pope Has a Faintino speII.

Rome. Aug. 12-Pope Plus X had a
fainting fit while celebrating mass.
His holiness soon revived. The pope
has been over-exerting himself to such
an extent that his naturally strong con-
stitutiOn was unable 10 bear the strain
put upon it. by the coronation cere-
monies. Such has been the effect upon
his nerves that he has been unable to
sleep for whole nights, while numerous
receptions made matters worse.
Pope Plus was seen to grow paler and
paler, finally throwing out his hands
as though seeking support. He would
have fallen had not Monsignor Bres-
san, his private chaplain, been quick to
catch him. It is impossible to describe
the confusion and alarm among the
worshippers while the pope lay mo-
tionless and unconscious, with his eyes
closed.
The doctors, for the first time in the
life of the distinguished churchman,
had the opportunity of thoroughly ex-
amining his holiness. Heretofore,
even when slightly i'll, the pope had
avoided physicians. The doctors
found, it is stated, that his holiness is
suffering from heart disease, which is
In a well advanced stage. The pope was
told by the physicians that If he con-
tinues his work with such ardor as
he has displayed in the past his life
will be endangered. They suggested
his immediate removal to the summer
residence in the Vatican gardens and
his total retirement for q brief period
Rt least.
