Evening Alongside the BurliDg-
ton Tracks at WATERFOWL.

At New Shops When He is Overcome
and Sits Down to Rest-Heart
Failure the Cause.

The body of John Schaeve, one of the
pioneer residents of the county, was
found at $50 o'clock last evening
alongside the Burlington switch track
leading to the WATERFOWL hospital
premises. The discovery was made by
one of the trusty patients at the asy-
lum who happened to be out walking.
There was suspicion of foul play. but
this was dispelled by post mortem ex-
animation, which established the fact
that death was produced by heart fail
ure, the attack coming on as a result
of the heat and fatigue, after a days
work at New Shops, where Mr.. Schaeve
was employed.
Mr.. Schaeve resided near the viii
lage of Waterfowl. He had lived in
the county since he was 8 years of age.
and had a wide acquaintance. especi-
ally in the upper end. He was 81
years of age.
Probably Worked Too Hard.
He walked to and from New Shops
every day. 1t is thought probably he
overwOrked himself yesterday. and the
effects did not manifest themselves
until he was nearing home. when he
grew faint and sat down on the rail
road track to rest.
Coroner l.. V. Eckhart was notified
after the finding of the body. He or
dered DR.. "A. Rankin TO make a post
norton. The inquest was held this
morning. and the jury returned a YER
dict that heart trouble was the cause
of death. Mr.. Schaeve leaves his wife
and family of several children.

$4,000 PROFIT.

E.O. Marett, of Fair Play was In
Wslhalla last Saturday for = short while.
The day previous he sold 108 bales Of
cotton In Westminster, on which he
realized q handsome profit. He sold 45
bales at 15 cents pound and 83 bales at
1856. Fifty-one bales were sold to the
ChesNell Cotton Mills and 81 to
I. s. Pitts. Mr. Maretts cotton cost him
an average OF 9 cents per pound, and he
says the bales would average Just
about AZ 6pounds each. His net profit,
therefore, was just about OF cents per
pound, or $2985 per bale, or, In other
words, practically 5000 on the lot. This
is substantially correct, though the figures
are made on q supposed average on the
weight of the bales and an estimated
average cost of the cotton. However, IL
is near enough correct to satisfy Mr..
Marett that he Is practically $4,000 to the
good on his cotton transactions for the
1908 crop. He looks pleased aud thor
oughly satisfied, and we think he ought
to be. at

Return Your Property.

County Auditor Reese has issued the
regular legal notice as to the date of ex-
piration of time for return for taxation
of household goods, etc. The notice
reads:
The law requires the County Auditor
and Board of Assessors, under oath, to
assess all those who fail to return house
hold goods, stock, vehicles, watches or
any other personal property every year
and add a 80 per cent. penalty to the
taxes of all who fail to do so.
1t is very disagreeable duty, and you
are urged to make your returns before
February 20, 80 as to avoid the penalty
You are expected to give in only 60 per
cent of the salable value of your goods
All improvements or transfers of land
must be returned or penalty of 20 per
cent will be added.
All able-bodied males between 81 and
60 years of age, except Confederate vete-
rams, must make returns of polls, or they
will be liable to fine of $40 or 80 days

Or. Bell Goes on Council.

The election for Alderman last Friday
resulted in the choice of DR.. J. w. Bell
for seat in the City Council by small
majority. DR.. Bell received 61 votes, the
same he got in the first election, while
Mr.. Crisp received SO. Ten registered
voters failed to cast their ballots and
five of them were doubtless supporters
of Mr.. Crisp in the first contest. Both
are good men and either would have
made thoroughly representative and
acceptible Alderman. A difference of
only five votes out of only 1T is a short
margin, and each receiving 81 in the first
election gives evidence of very even
popularity.
