that the Port Arthur commander was
forced to surrender, announced terms
granting the officers parole and asked
the emperor to send his commander.
A dispatch to the general staff from
Stoessel recites how the position of
the fortress at Port Arthur gradually
became less safe and more critical, the
ravages of scurvy increasing enor-
mously. the casualties list already 50

Eaa Cooked In Tomato.

A firm fresh tomato of suficien:
rize is selected, the top is cut Of
and the inside is scooped out just
enough to contain whole egg. The
egg is cracked into cup without
the yolk being broken and then
poured into the tomato. Salt and
pepper are added and the tomato is
put into the oven. When the egg is
cooked the tomato will be found
just right also. My hostess, who
lived for many years IN Portugal,
told me this was a Portuguese meth
I'd, and [ strongly commend it to
people who like eggs and tomatoes
and who are tired OF the ordinary
tomato omelet.

the last thing on earth that was
needed up there. 1t was rank
foolishness to start it, and it was
good sense to close it up. The ma
chinery is being placed in the big
steel plant, and by March the first
men will be manufacturing steel.
The steel workers can deposit
their earnings in the banks OF
Sistersville, the owners Of the
plant can do likewise, and get all
the financial aid they may want
along conservative banking lines.
There was no need of bank at
Paden City, and its closing up
means nothing.

A few drops Of iurpentine in the

a teaspoonful of chloride of lime
in one quart of water will remove

PUT salt in the waler with which

When preserving, wash your jars

A piece of charcoal in the ~ater

One of the defendants IN the
Dunfee case, a physician by pro-
fession, imagined, as we are IN
formed, that the article about the
rehearing being granted IN that
case was written by the editor OF
The Review, and she wondered
why the item had not been set up
at the top of the column" etc.
The facts are the article was writ
ten by David D. Johnston, one OF
the plaintiffs attorneys. He mail
ed it to The Review, it came to
our office in the mail Tuesday
morning with request to PRINT.
It was handed in with other copy,
and that is absolutely everything
the editor of The Review had to
do with the article. So our read
ers can readily see how often a
newspaper editor is cussed and
discussed by people who draw
from their imagination for their
whole story when, in fact, the ed
itor is as innocent as a lamb. 1t
always makes us weary to hear
of people cussing and talking
around; they must imagine we
put in about all of our time think
ing about them, and how to in
lure them, as they look at the
matter, when in fact we don't
give them a thought once a year.
We have all we can do to publish
and gather the news. We have
never Intentionally used the col
umns of our paper at any time to
vent our spite or try to falsely
injure any person. The attorneys
for Dunfees, their clients and
friends are entitled to know what
is being done in the case, and it's
a legitimate news item. We have
no apology to offer, but in view
of the facts we think we clearly
show how very silly people can
make themselves.

Assessor w. f. Long was in the
city this week and showed us a
letter of instruction from Commits
sioner Dillon in regard to the as
sessment of property for taxation
this year. Commissioner Dillon
says the new license law is in eff
feet now. Assessor Long is to
collect the poll tax when ne calls
on the taxpayers to assess their
property; if they do not pay then
it is his duty to levy at once on
property sufficient to pay the
head tax. All personal property
is to be assessed at it's ACTUAL
CASH VALUE. Nothing escapes
this tax except oil production,
coal, oil, gas and railroads. In
other words, every word printed
in the Oil Review before the cleo
ton was absolutely true to the let
ter, Your land and town lots
will be assessed this month at
the ACTUAL CASH VALUE of
the land and lots, but no taxes
will be assessed on the new land
assessment until next year. Com,
missioner Dillon says this is the
law now unless it is repealed OF
modified by the Legislature which
meets in Charleston the 18th OF
this month. It's an Infamous and
unfair tax law, but the majority
of the voters said at the NOvem
Der election they wanted these un
just laws, and we think about 6
year or two of them will be {
sufficiency.
