"HUMAN METEORs" ARE COMING
Mcdonald Bros, Renowned Cyclists,
With Norris & Rowe Circus.

During the excitement of the
thrilling moment when the Melon
aid Brothers dash down a ladder
from the top of the tent to the
ground, an enthusiastic spectator
chistened them the human meteors'
and that fittinglt describes the act
Indifference to danger Is an attribute
possessed by few 1t is said that
no man can march upon battlefield
knowing that he must fight without
feeling for at least moment the
awful sensation of fear. When
fighting begins, fear departs, and
man walks into the very Jaws of
death without thought of the con-
sequences to himself There are
other places where danger is ever
present, but some men fairly laugh
it to scorn. Such men are the
brothers Mcdonald, celebrated cy-
clists, who ride upon ordinary BIZ
cycles down from the dizzy height
of the very top of the towering tent
that covers and encloses the arena
of the Norris & Rowe greater circus,
the roadway being ladder "a feet
long. feet wide and rungs 10 inches
apart. OF course, they come down
with a tremendous rush. 1t is i'm
possible to keep their feet upon the
pedals. When they reach the
ground they speed nearly all the way
round the great course of the hippo
drome. The danger of the fact is
apparent. To Offset danger there is
the marvellous skill and unfailing
nerve Of the intrepid riders. So far
they have escaped danger, but it re-
quires the coolest heads and incest
of judgment, for they surely supply
the most thrilling moment of any
performer who has ever appeared be-
fore the public in an act defying dam
ger. The brothers Mcdonald will be
seen here with the Norris & Rowe
greater circus, Saturday, June 3.

Poll Tax Must he Paid-Thus Saith
the County Treasurer.

There are mighty few men who
walk up with cheerful eountenance
and free hand and pungle up the two
plunketts for their annual road poll
tax. Men who never kick about the
amount of property tax hate like sin
to separate themselves from poll tax
Just why this should be so is not
clear, but it is a fact. Some think
it's graft: Others declare it's UNI
constitutional; but whatever they
think, it is hard job the treasurer
has to collect these small amounts.
aggregating large sum. The
Herald is in receipt of a communica-
ton asking that the law governing
poll tax be published, and gives here
with sections and 2, chapter 119,
OF the session laws of 1903, setting
forth who are liable, and the duties
of the county commissioners:
Section ALL male persons of this
state over 9 years of age and under
so years of age, outside the limits
of an incorporated city or town, I'M
less by the law exempt, shall annual
ly pay road tax of So, which shall
be due and payable in money with
out exemption Whatsoever on the
first day of March in each year. An
poll taxes shall be paid into tie dis
trict road and bridge fund of the dis
trict in which the same shall be col
ieoted
Section 2-The county commits
siOners or any poll tax collector they
may authorize shall annually, COM
mencing on the first day of March
of each year, demand poll tax from
each person liable therefor
The law further provides that the
collectors Of poll tax shall turn in
to the county auditor the names OF
all parties liable under the law from
whom they were unable for any cause
10 collect the poll tax, and that the
auditor shall extend such list of
names on the tax rolls against the
real or personal property of such
tax debtor. Then the next time the
property holder tenders his real and
personal taxes to the county treasur-
er, the amount Of the unpaid poll tax
is added. If the debtor still refuses
to pay this amount, the treasurer
must refuse to accept or credit any
part of the sum due for real or per-
sonal property tax, and continue to
do so until the poll tax is paid.

WATER WAS SHUT. OFF.
House Struck by Lightning but Lucki-

House Struck by Lightning but Lucki-
Iy Was Not Burned.
During the rain storm Saturday night
the lightning struck Mr.. Russell's house,
fortunately without injury to any Of the
family, and not doing very great damage.
1t was matter of chance, however, that
the building was not fired. The little
boys had left window open, and before
the lightning had struck the house enough
rain had blown In to thoroughly dampen
the side OF the room where the lightning
took effect. Mr.. Russell thought the
house was on fire and ran for water.
The city water works was out of business,
and not drop OF water could be had. II
is supposed that the water at the stand
pipe had been turned off late 10 the
evening to prevent people from watering
lawns during the night.
1t was very lucky that the rain had
blown In and dampened u part of the
room, so that the fire did not get a start.
Otherwise there would have been no
chance OF saving the house. It would
have had time to burn before Mr.. Russell
could have walked the water company up
and got the water turned on.

Proposition.

To Talk Over the Mill and Elevator
Proposition.
A meeting will be held at the Court
House on next Monday afternoon which
will be Of great importance to everybody
In Ford county. Many counties over the
wheat district have farmers mills and
elevators. Institutions built and owned
by people interested In the county. Ford
county has just lost large private -four
ing mill here and Its loss leaves us In
need of another one to take Its place.
Every person who raises wheat, or who
buys -four or chop Of any kind Is inter ested
In having good mill and elevator. A
home mill Is protection to the man who
sells wheat or who buys -four or feed.
All who have talked the matter over be-
lieve that something should be done to-
ward building a mill and elevator Of
some kind here.
The idea of the meeting on Monday
afternoon is to get the people together
and talk the matter over. It 10 believed
that such an institution will be- worth
thousands of dollars to the farmers and
other people Of Ford county.
There should be a large attendance at
the meeting.
