HENRY COUNTY MAN REsIsTs
PAYMENT OF BACK TAXES

Charles +. Stevens, n large land
owner residing near Green River, has
through his attorney, Henry Water
man, of Geneseo. brought suit in the
circuit court against Henry county. f.
G. WeIton. county clerk; John Smith,
county treasurer; and George ii. Man
love. tax ferret. the last employed at
work in this county. to have the con-
tract by which the last named gentle
man is working, made null and void
and enjOin the defendants from fur
Their proceedings under the contract.
The basis of the suit is that the
county board of supervisors has no
right to enter into a contract for
work that comes in the province of
the assessors and the board of review.
1t is claimed that if the assessors need
additional help in the work of col
Letting taxes the matter is one that
should properly come before the board
of review.
The contract between the county
and George II. Manlove was entered
into January of this year. 1t gives
Mr.. Manlove and his representatives
authority to collect back taxes in the
county and pays him 30 per cent of all
collections.
The suit will be watched with in
terest here. 1t is wholly question of
law and the matter has never been
decided by the supreme court of Illi-
nois. In this state there is no law
either for or against the employment
of tax ferrets. In Iowa there is n
law legalizing their employment but
at the present session of the legisla-
ture bill has been introduced with
the purpose Of repeating the measure.

PRETTY FARM RESIDENCE
NEAR CHESWOLO BURNED
EVANS PROPERTY FALLS PREY TO FLAMES
AND BUILDING BURNED TO GROUND.
Supposed to Have Started from a Defective
Flue Which Gave the Inmates But Little
Time to Escape Loss Estimated $1,000.

CHEswoLD, March Last Saturday
about noon the farm dwelling of Ed
ward A. Evans, near Cheswold, was
discovered to be on fire by one of the
farm hands, who fastened to notify
the family of their danger. Mr..
Evans had just sat down to dinner,
while Mrs. Evans, being lndisposed,
was lying down, both unconscious
that fire had burned its way through
the roof and rapidly reaching a stage
beyond control. Water was at once
applied, but to no purpose and the
few there and others rapidly gather
ing set to work to save the furniture,
which in a great measure they did,
The dwelling proper containing num-
erous apartments, was soon licked up
by the flames, but small back build
ing connected by shed was marvel
ously saved owing to the hard work
and skllfull management on the part
of those who were bent on saving il.
The space between the two was about
twenty-five feet when the shedding
was removed and the heat unendur-
able. The loss would be hard to
estimate as some fine pieces of furni-
ture were destroyed as also numerous
family mementoes, which they were
years IN gathering. The loss on
building is estimated at 81, 900. There
is an insurance, but for what amount
is not ascertained. 1t is presumed
Mr.. Evans will build on the same
sight. The origin of the fire is some.

PLEASANT EVENING AT PARSONAGE.
WOman's Christian Temperance Union Give a

which LIS Guests We're Present.

In acceptance of cordial invitation
from the Rev. Vaughan S. Collins and
wife the anticipated social of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union was
held in the parsonage of the Asbury
M. E. Church last Monday evening.
The members of the Temperance ALI
ance had been specially invited and
each member of the Union had in
vlted one, and although the weather
was unfavorable there were about one
hundred and twenty-five present
Without constituting a formal recep-
ton committee host aud hostess, Mr..
and Mrs. Collins, the president of the
Union, Mrs. Kate E. Smithers, the
Secretaries, Mrs. Lizzie Stevens and
Mrs. Laura Porter, and the Treasurer,
Mrs. Anna S. Truax, were expected to
do the honors of the evening, and with
the exception of one of the officers who
was absent they were each ready with
a cordial greeting for guests. As was
fitting a large white ribbon bow formed
an effective part of the decorations of
the parlOr, by the arrangement of Miss
Susie Hudson. The program in charge
of the Entertainment Committee Mrs.
Jennie G. S. Price, was as follows:
Piano Duet, Misses Bertha J. Price
and Miss Elizabeth Collins; Chorus,
1.-The Old Oaken Bucket" Company;
Piano Solo, Miss Bertha J. Price; Vo-
cal Solo, ''Ihe Whispered Vow" Miss
Mary Roberts; Piano Solo, Miss Eliza
beth Collins; Solo and Chorus, "All
Round the World the Ribbon White is
Twined," Mr.. Lewis NJ. Price and
Company.
In addition to the program the COM
pany engaged in novel game termed
a tearing party, in the following man
ner. Each individual was given a
sheet of blank paper and was told to
make out of it, by tearing, the figure
of some animal. These figures and
some of them were correct Lkenesses-
were collected and pinned on a black
background and they thus formed an
interesting menagerie. A guessing
game also afforded much amusement.
Refreshments were served by Mrs
Sarah Prettyman, Mrs. Annie Price,
and other members of the Union, and
altogether the evening was much en-
joged by the entire company. One
new member was gained, so the Unto n
now numbers ninety eight and the in

SwlNDLER IN THOROUGHFARE NECK.
Patent Medicine Man Works His Wonderful
Vegetable Compound" on the Farmers
and Goes Away Full Handed.

IHoROUGHFARE NECK, March =
A clever patent medicine swindler has
been bamboozling the residents of this
vicinity recently. He has for sale an
alleged wonderful vegetable compound
that will cure every ailment that flesh
is heir to, put up in pint bottles in
attractively decorated cartoons. which
he offers at one dollar per bottle. If
he does not succeed in making a sale,
to introduce it he will give one or two
bottles free of charge with every bottle
purchased. So persistent is he and
offering apparently so much for the
money that this bargain is generally
accepted. In some instances he sold
as high as three bottles for twenty-five
cents, at the rate of one and one-half
gallons of the medicine for one dollar.
and the victims of the fake find them
selves in the possession of an acid
mixture of bitter aloes and water,
which as one who invested in it SAYS:
'would make pig squeal." Dozens
of bottles of the bitter stuff were left
in Thoroughfare Neck and the roll of
money the swindler had in his pos
session showed that he had found
many easy marks. During the recent
cold weather many Of the bottles hoze
solid, after which it fermented This
does not improve its flavor or medici-
nal properties, and some farmers con
template treating their seed corn with
a solution of the ''cure all in place Of
gas tar to prevent birds from pulling
it. Others recommend it as. a positive
remedy for San Jose scale. However,
farmers wives are mad and threaten
to scald the agent or give him a dose
of his own medicine if found III this
vicinity again.
