STRENGTHENS TAX TITLES.
Supreme Court Holds Sales Of Delinquent Prop
erty Good.

erty Uood.
In line with a former decision the SUI
preme court holds that tax against real
estate, under the present revenue laws is
a claim against the land and not the
person owning it. The decision is made
in affirming the judgement OF the superb
or court OF King county in the case Of
Sarah Woodward and John II. McGraw,
as administrator OF the estate of Henry
Woodward, deceased, appellant, vs.. H.
G. Taylor, respondent, a suit to quiet
title to lot OF block II, Mavnard's plat
of Seattle. The property was bought in
by the county for delinquent taxes and
sold to the respondent. Through mis-.
take it had been assessed to &c. Wine
HILL" and sold for taxes under that
name, although the property Of appel
lants who resided out Of the state. The
chief contention in the suit to regain pos
session Of the property was that through
the wrong assessment the appellants had
received no notification Of the tax sale
and it was therefore invalid. Decisions
by the supreme court in support OF the
contention were cited, but the court
holds that they were rendered under the
revenue laws existing prior to 1890 m ak.
ing taxes claim against the land in.
stead of the 0wner. The effect Of this
opinion will futher tend to strengthen
tax titles in this state.

Do Good-lt Pays.

A Chicago man has observed that
"Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds-some of the latter are worthless.
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and lend a helping hand. You cannot
possibly lose b. it." Most men appre'
ciate kind word and encouragement
more than substantial help. There are
persons in this community who might
truthfully say: "My good friend, cheer
up. A few doses OF Chamberlain Cough

NICHOLS,
One Of Gods Noble Women Gone Where
There is no More Parting.

In memory of Mrs R. S.
Nichols.
Last Friday morning the sad
message, Mrs. Nichols is dead"
Coated over our little city,
causing hearts to rejoice that
her sutferings were ended, and
tears to fall in sympathy for
the loved ones left, a husband,
a daughter and two sons,
Her health had not been good
for two years, but about three
months ago her daughter, Der.
tina, was called home from her
school at Kirksville 10 attend
her. Since that time she has
suffered intensely.
About nine years ago Prof.
r, S. Nichols WIS appointed
Superintendent of the Monroe
City schools. He came, bring.
ing wife and children, to make
their homes with us During
tha; i,me Mrs. Nichols has en-.
d'".-d herself to all who knew
her. Being of a cheerful and
sociable disposition, her circle
OF friends was large.
Her two sons were in Texas
for their health at the time of
her death, so the burial did not
occur until Monday at ten
o'clock. Funeral services were
held in the Christian church
conducted by Rev. Briney of
Paris, assisted by all the min
listers of TIE city. Many friends
and relatives from a distance
attended. The floral offerings
were many and beautiful The
church was decorated in white
and green, the colors of the
Century Club, of which she was
loved and honored member,
having at one time been its
President. Prof. Nichols lie
quests that special mention be
made of the tender care that
was given her by her church
and club sisters during her long
illness.
Dear Mrs. Nichols! "Her sun
went down at MONDAY" but we
will meet again some sweet day,
by and by, in the home of the
lblest. She often said. 81 pray
for patience. God answered

her prayer, she was So patient.
The angels have welcomed our
darling,
To their home which is peace
full and fair;
Away from the trials of earth
life,
She is sheltered quite safely
there.
And among the sweet flowers of
heaven
Our flower shall bloom and
be blest;
And her fragrance shall guide
us upward
When God calls us home to
His rest. ~

REPORT ABOUT READY
Public Will Soon Learn How the
Irrigation Merger Was
Perfected.

It is probable that the plans under
which the irrigation companies will be
consolidated will not become public
property until the meeting Friday of
the Commercial club committee. At
torney Richards said yesterday that
articles of agreement We're ready, but
that it had beer decided not to make
them public for the present They will
first be submitted to the irrigation
companies for approval and, if adopted,
the nature of the plans will be an
nounced.
The articles as drawn up by the sub
committee have been found very sat
isfactOry, and seem TO meet the re-
quirementS of all the interests repre-
scented. The work of drafting the plans
has been no easy task owing to the di-
verse nature of the properties involved
The conditions under which the COM
panies operate are different in each
case, and in working out the plans all
these matters had to be taken into con-
sideration. Some of the plans had to
be changed a number of times before
all the interests were harmonized.
There has been much surmise as to
the amount at which the company will
be capitalized and the amount of stock
to be issued, but all such ventures are
necessarily speculative.
Each board will elect one director,
WHO VIII represent the interests OF MS
company. Copies of the articles of
agreement have been drawn and are
in the possession of the boards, and
some changes may be suggested. 1t is
desired that these changes be made be-
fore the plans are published.
At the meeting Friday the four com
panies will each have two representa-
tives who will meet with Colonel r. F.
Holmes, State Engineer A. F. Doremus
and Attorney Franklin S Richards.
The city is prevented by its charter
from entering the combination. When
the consolidation is complete the COM
pany viii be in position to deal with
the government and receive a share of
the benefits mapped out for improving
the irrigation systems of the arid sec
tions of the west

MADE TRAIN FLY.
Freight Got Snowbound, But Officials
Came to the Rescue.


The history Of Union Pacific car No.
1888 shows what the Overland people
can do with freight in an emergency.
The car was loaded with special paper
for The Heralds half-tone section Of
the New Year edition, which was pub
lished last Sunday and it was abso-
lutely necessary that the paper should
be in The Herald press room by 8
o'clock Saturday night.
Although it was loaded at the Den
yer paper mills in good time, it was
delayed by the terminal switching line
until the morning of Dec. "A. when it
pulled out of Denver. 1t reached Raw
Inns on the 18th. just in time to con-
meet with the big Wyoming blizzard,
and disappeared in the snow About
that time the traffic department of the
Short Line was enlisted in the effort
TO expedite the movements of the ar.
D. S. Faggart of Mr.. Schumacher's Of
fee was given direct charge of it and
the wires began to work. Friday night
Mr.. Taggart got Assistant Superin-
tendent Ward at Ogden by telephone
and asked him to see if that car could
pot be delivered into ogden by Satur-
day afternoon. Mr.. Ward was then
On his way 10 his Evanston headquar-
iers, and said he would see to it him
self Evidently he did see to il, for
the car which was reported out of
Green River at 3:15 Saturday morning,
reached Ogden between 4 and ; O'Clock
Saturday afternoon.
There it found Superintendent Hen
dersOn of the Short Line waiting with
a freight special. steamed up ready for
a rush run. The car came whirling
into the Salt Lake yards at $50 p. M.
less than 10 hours from Green River.
The Redman vans were waiting for it.
and by o'clock the presses were run
ming on the illustrated section of the
New Year edition. The main news
section had to follow and some idea
OF the close margin of calculation in
volved may be gathered from the fact
that there was barely ten minutes TO
spare when the presses completed
their delivery of papers for the mail
train edition, which left for the north
at 1890.
In the twenty-four hours preceding
tie cars delivery the office of Superin-
tendent Calvin cO-operated with the
traffic department, and they IN turn
found the Union Pacific officials from
Cheyenne west ready to do everything
possible in forwarding the much
wanted paper There may have been
