A Serious Mistake,

To the average nan it seems child
ish to doctor a cold, and unless it be-
comes particularly annoying to him,
little or no attention is given it. Of
ten a cold contracted in the winter is
allowed to run until the opening of
spring. This is a grave mistake, as
even though the warm weather may
bring relief, the system is thereby
weakened and rendered susceptible to
disease. A cold should never be ne.
elected, whether it be a child or an
adult who is afflicted, as health and
often life is risked. A bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, costing but
a small amount, will bring speedy re-
lief and all dangerous consequences
will be avoided. For safe by all drug
gists.

The First Bridge.
Later, in 1856, the first bridge across
the Mississippi, connecting the island
with both banks, was finished in April,

A Yankee Prison.
When the civil war came on a con
siderable part of the military establish
ment which from the day of the build
ing of Fort Armstrong down to the
present had been growing and expand
ing, was chosen as one of the three
principal places of detention for Con-
federate prisoners. and at one time
during the war the number of Confed-
crates within the walls at Rock Island
numbered several thousand.
Scientific Interest.
The anthropological interest il the
Rock Island region comes by virtue of
the discovery in 1888 of the celebrated
elephant Pipes near Davenport,
which are now preserved in the muse
UNI of the Davenport Academy of Sci
ences. They have caused as much il
not more discussion among the ethnol-
ogists than the calyeras skull or the
pithecanthropus crectus. 1t is assert
ed that they were found in one of the
numerous mounds of this region by
some Germans. and are Indian pipes
of the ordinary mound types, peculiar
in that all three are made in the form
of an elephant or mammoth. If they
are genuine remains, then it would
seem II indicate that their makers
lived at one time when the lordly man.
moth roamed up and down the valley
of the Father of Waters, but the trouble
is that the scientists were not present
to witness the discovery of these pipes
and it is significant that since their dis
covery none like them have been
found, although ethnologists have
spent a vast amount of time and con
siderable money ransacking the
mounds in the same neighborhood,
some Of which lay within a few hun
bred feet of the mound from which
they are said to have been taken.

DISCRIMINATION
. OF EQUAu|zERS

The evident discrimination prac-
ticsd by the board of equalization in
tts actions is causing much comment.
IL Is alleged that every big concern
and every rich man that demanded a
reduction in assessed valuation got
II, small people were not so for
tunate.
Among the boards decisions arous-
ing discussion may be cited the fol-
lowing:
Mrs. M. Mcbride, a widow. had $500
IN her possession March 1; which
she used to pay off a mortgage a few
days later. The board insisted that
she be taxed for having this money
on hand.
\ The Odd Fellows had s1345 cash
on hand March 1, but a month later
paid $1,000 of it for the purchase Of
land. They asked that the $1,000 be
excluded from taxation and the board,
witch had refused Mrs. McBride's sim
ilar request, granted the Odd Fell
lows request, against the advice of
Ats legal advisor.
X l.. M. Woodmansee had $500 on
hand March 1 to pay off a mortgage
with. and requested that he be re-
aeased from taxation on 1t. His re-
quest was refused.

stock, asked to be let Off on assess
ment on $4,000 worth on the plea
that he was a nonresident Of the
state. The county's legal advisor
stated to the board that the non-resi-
dent was not entitled to the Offset Of
$4,000 debts. and pleaded that there
was no law for the deduction. The
board granted Mr.. Culbertson's re-
quest.
On the advice Of the district attor-
ney the franchise Of the Associated
Press held by w. H. Cole and used
for his papers, the Epokesman-Re-
view and its evening editions. the
Chronicle and Bulletin, was placed on
the assessment rolls by Auditor Stew
art and promptly stricken of by the
board.
The following big corporations cas-
lily got reductions: Northern Pacific

$4,000; Review Publishing company,
$4,000; Chronicle, $4,000; Tull &
Gibbs, $4,000; ]. I. Case. $4,000;
Union Depot company, $34,500; Spo-
kane Falls Gaslight company. $685.

The board evidently thinks the Press
is more valuable property than the
Chronicle. for with one linotype more
in it's plant than possessed by the
Press, the Chronicle IS assessed at
about the same valuation.
