The State of Ohio. II the sentiment

Congress, is very much concerned in

is accorded In thoSouth Some time

dead proposition to cut down tic

Congress because the iiliterate nee

ciplining the South and securing fair
treatment for the negro. and incl

Mr. Foraker alleges that he was ac-

he or any Of his constituents have

Will Employ From Sixty to Sew
enty-fve Men,

A crew Of men started work
Monday morning at the quarries
of the Washburn Stone Company

things in readiness for an early
start in the spring. When the
company get to running in good
shape from sixty to seventy five
will be employed in getting out
stone for Weiland Brothers, of
Duluth, who have the contract
for extending the breakwater
over on the Ashland side of the
bay. The company will begin
hauling stone just as soon as
navigation opens and The work
will be kept steadily up during
the summer months. The quarry
was in operation from the first of
August last year and employed
about forty men for the balance

larger scale. Another new der

which will about double the
capacity giving employment to
the extra number of men. Any

City Treasurer Lee Completes Tax
Collection.
DELINQUENT ROLL IS LARGE.
AS Compared With Last Year and Deduct
ing Amount OF Tax on the Elevator,
Which is Unpaid, the Collection
is Better That Last Year,

City Treasurer Nels Lee has
made settlement with the
county treasurer, and has turn
ed over his delinquent roll. On
the face of the returns the
delinquent roll this year is much
larger than last. but this may
be explained in part by the fact
that the Omaha Railway com
pany have refused to pay the
tax on the elevator property.
It will be remembered that this
property was not on the roll
last year and therefore should
not be considered in making the
comparison.
The total Of the delinquent roll
last year was $2736.24, this year
it is $6213.72, but after deduct
ing the amount of the tax on the
elevator which is $3.50 the rol
would be only $2463.72 or S272.-
50 less than last year.
Taken as whole the collec
tioE of taxes this year has beer
exceedingly good, when it is
rememb ered that the valuation
of property was raised to con
siderable, extent.

Sent Resignation to the Post Office
Department Last SATURDAY..
NEW MAN NOT YET BEEN NAMED
But the Appointment OF the New POST
master is Expected to be Made
Within a Very Short Time by
the Department.

Last Saturday j. e. Jones sent
in his resignation as postmaster
of the Office in this city to the
post Office department at Wash
.ington, with the request that it
be acted upon by the last of the
present month. Mr.. Jones sta ties
as his reason, that as his succe SIS
ro's nomination has been held up
insane manner, and as he wishes
to be relieved atonce, he has tie n
dered his resignation, as he has
decided that inasmuch asst is a o.
parent he is not to be reappoint-
ed, he does not desire to remain
in office indefinitely while the red
tape of thepost Office department
solves the muddle. It had been
known for some time by the
close friends of Mr.. Jones, that
it was his intention of resigning
to accept much better position
which he had had offered him.
Mr.. Jones has held the Office
little over eight years, his second
term of Office having expired on
the sixth day of February, and
during that time be has been in
strumental in bringing about a
number of better changes in the
mail service in this city, and
given general satisfaction to the
majority Of the people. The ap-
pointmentio of the man to succeed
Mr.. Jones has not get been
made, but it is expected to be
forthcoming within a very short

Town of Washburn Officers Not to
be Removed.
JUDGE PARISH MAKES DECISION
Proceedings Brought to Remove officers
of the Board Of Review Is Quashed
by Circuit Judge.-Fupther Pro-
eeedings Not Expected.

Parish handed down decision
in the case brought by several
tax payers in the Town of Wash
burn asking for the removal of
Chairman A. Ell. Homer, Super
visors Mike Thorsen and 0. M.
Urbom, Assessor Henry Merger.
Ii and Clerk Allen Butterfeld.
The decision is in favor of the
officers. Proceedings wer e
based on the alleged acts of the
officers acting as board of review,
in refusing to admit evidence
and that they wilfully made an
unequal and unjust assessment.
The Ashland Press has the
following to say of the matter:
Last summer the managers Of
the dynamite plant, feeling that
they were assessed too high as
compared with the rest of the
property in the town, employed
a man, it is said, to ascertain the
value of real estate in the town.
Accordingly he made a t r p
through the town, visited various
farms, told the farmers that they
wished to buy their property and
was given prices. The prices
he received were of course, the
maximum ard not the minimum
figures. He then appeared be.
fore the board of review in Aug
ust and testified as to the value
of couple of farms, but after
the board had ascerttined how
he had obtained his evidence,
they refused to hear any more
of it, Notwithstanding his state
ment that he wished to give evl-
dence as to the value of eighty
other farms. Proceedings to
remove the entire board was
then begun. Pending the action
for removal, the dynamite prop
erty tax was not paid, and a hun
dred thousand pounds of dyna.
mite was seized by Attorney
Tomkins and the town officer a
week ago last Saturday, but it
was released upon the payment
of the tax.
Judge Parish this morning de-
cided that an action could not lie
against the assessor and town
clerk under any circumstances,
for while the statutes mention
the members of the board of
review, giving the duties of the
supervisor and penalties for the
non performance of duty Of the
ssother officers" the law holds
that ''other officers means ''like
officers and the assessor and
clerk being purely ministerial
officers, are not 'slike officers
as compared with the supervisors
The case against the three sup
ervisors, Hosmer, Thorson and
4Urbon was also dismissed. it
being shown that a copy of the
amended complaint had not been
served upon them.
1t is not likely that further
proceedings will be brought, as
the terms of the members of the
board of review will expire in a
few weeks.

IMPRESSING REIGNERS
WITH CHINESE AUTHORITY.

Pekin. Feb Am evidence Of the
tension existing between the Chinese
and foreigners IL found In a recent UNI
important event which took place IN
Tientsin on the occasion Of the birth
day OF Emperor William. While Yuan
Shi Kai, yiceroy Of the province OF
Chi Ii, was passing through the Brit
ish settlement on his way 10 make a
formal visit 10 the German officials, one
OF his outrlders was struck BY Chi
Iese policemen enforcing the rule OF
the road to keep to the let. scuffle
cnsued
The vlceroy afterWard demanded tho
surrender of the policeman for pgnish-
ment. After a meeting OF the munich
pal authorities the British consult
general and representatives OF Yuan
Shi I<ai. full apology was drafted and
the policeman was dismissed and hand
cd over To the Chinese officials, who
promised leniency The yiceroys
magistrate. however, Immediately or
dered that the offender receive pun
ishment OF thousand strokes with the
bamboo, which Is frequently fatal. and
three months penal servituGe.
Foreign opinion here insists that the
viceroy's demand for the surrender and
the extremity Of the punishment or
dered were both deliberately int endef
to Impress foreigners with sense Of
the Chinese authority. British officials
are bitterly denounced by foreign resi-
dents for surrendering the policeman.
