: Assessments,

4. The taxation amendment agreed on by
the house judiciary committee was not
reported out to-day. Question has been
raised as to whether the amendment
should not include a clause authorizing
special assessments for public improve
ments: It is feared that to leave the
constitution without any such provision
would lead to decisions of the courts
which would knock out special assess
ments in many cases. Chairman Steven
son and Mr.. Tighe are looking into this
subject, and may offer an amendment at
the next meeting of the committee.

INC We shinrton

Washington, Feb. 11.--senator Clapp,
Representative Morris and Representa-
tive Elect Stenerson will have confer
ence next week with Land Commissioner
Richards and with Secretary Hitchcock
about the opening of the agricultural
lands Of the coded portion Of the Chip
pewa resert alton. The opening of these
lands is the one question of vital i'm
portance to the people in Stenersons dis
trict and one which he will try to solve
before he leaves Washington. He believes
that land enough has been classified as
agricultural to justify an opening without
waiting for the few allotments to be made
which are required under the Nelson and
Morris act. 1T Is believed that at a con-
ference next week some definite arrange.
ments will be made for throwing a per-
ton Of these lands open to settlement
this summer or perhaps early next spring.

TOWN TOPICS.
THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH..
WHAT THE BOX HAD 1T.


A number Of people, and especially
the good number who had hand in it.,
will be interested to know what went
into the box which was sent by the
Christian EndeavOr society of the Con-
gregatiOnal church down to 'Mother
Bird" at the Bowery Mission in New
York. Oh, lot of things that will
make the children just raise the rafterS
of the old mission hall when the gifts
are passed around. or course there
were picture books of all sizes and de-
scriptiOns, picture books out of which
demure cats looked and philosophical
owls moped complainingly to the moon
and bears anticked and played. There
were games galore, games of back gam
mon, ring-toss and lotto.s There were
mittenS, caps and boots There were
apples and hickoryAhuts, so the chill
dren will be sure to have some "hard
nuts to crack" There were toys, tops
that you wind up and camels that move
and furniture with which Miss Muffet
with which Doll Daisy can make bread.
Well, what wasn't in the box! That
would be easier to tell than what was
In it. There was not an elephant in it
nor was there trunk. Try to guess
what you think was not in the box.
and come round to the Congregational
parsonage, and we will tell you If you
are right. Mr. Barker wishes cordially
to thank all who helped in doing this
very nice thing at the Christmas time.
The contents of the box were estimated
to be worth $ll.

IN MEMORIAM.

On Saturday morning, after many
months of suffering, the spirit of Grace
Elizabeth Sanford left it's mortal body
to join the father, whose loss one year
ago, she SO deeply mourned. Miss San
ford was Is years Of age, member of
the senior class of the High school
where she was faithful student, and
the thoughtful kindness of her class
mates during her illness was very COM
forting to her. Gentle and reserved by
nature she was strongly devoted in her
friendships. The youngest of four
brothers and sisters, she was the CEN
ter of the home, each member of it
sharing in making her life bright and
happy. Her loss to the mother, broth
ers and sister, coming SO soon. after the
ia ther was taken, will leave a vacancy
never to be filed, yet the memory Of
her life was so full of love and happi-
ness must bring comfort to their
stricken hearts, and the hope of no
bier life beyond tighten the burden of
their sorrow.-[Danbury News.

Wis.," Mrs. Davis to Gov. Davis"
Charles Jacobson to Miss Jacob
son; Miss Jacobson to Charles ia
cobson;" Charles Jacobson to females
named;" female named to Charles
Jacobson" Col. Murphy was at his
best in sarcastically and humorously
referring to Mr. Jacobson's "long-dis-
tance courting." "a delightful senti-
mentality pervaded the state house"
he said and the audience laughed
The remarks of Col. Murphy were
then directed to the brick company
convict contract. The governor had
said that when he signed the docu-
ment he was either crazy or had his
hands tied behind him. The governor
must have been a little uncertain him
self about which it was. Since he had
vouchsafed no further explanation,
it was only left to conclude that the
true facts were that he had little
bit of both. If he had been crazy,
when did he become sane? If he had
his hands tied behind his back, when
bad he brought them around to the
front?
He said that the other parties to the
convict contract had given the gov
ernor some considerations; at least
of support politically. Then when
he had used them all he could he
wanted to recall the contract and give
it to somebody else whom he could
use for a while. AS matter Of fact,
since the first contract for convicts
at fifty cents dav lad been let and
the governor had hoen abusing every
thing connected with it, he had let
other contracts for the same price
For this very reason it had become
necessary at one time to hire free Ia
Dor to gather the crops on the state
farms because there was not enough
convicts in the penjt while the
governors friends were reaping the
benefit. The governor had said that
the contract was iniquitous. Then
if the contract was iniquitous, the
man who signed it, the governor, was
iniquitous If the governor was in
iauitous, was he fit to occupy the high
office of chief executive of the state,
and to administer the law to it's peO-
pie? There was a round of applause,
interspersed with cries of "No!" "No!"
from the audience. The governor was
a member Of the Baptist church in
