Farms tor Rent.

The Lakeside farm. sometimes call
ed Lundgren farm, on which I reside
is the most suitable property for
keeping dairy with d view to selling
in the City of Morris, milk, cream,
bu ter, ETC., and garden products
anywhere around Morris, and l have
concluded to offer it for rent provided
can get the right sort of a tenant
Section % in the township of Nor
ris, usually called the Stanton farm, is
adequate to keep, and the structures
are both suitable and adequate TO keep
one hundred head OF cattle and horses
and twice or three times as many
sheep and hogs and for that property
| want tenant experienced in that
line of farming to whom | will rent
chat property for three or five or ten
years or longer.
Section II in the township of Dom
nelly is an excellent section TO be
farmed, either 10 raise grain or for
mixed farming or for dairying and for
the right tenant, I will rebuild the
barn so as TO make it suitable to keep
thirty or forty COWS and rent that
farm for three or five or ten years or
longer. Its nearness to Donnelly
makes it desirable. | have other
farms which l also desire to rent.

GRAND JURY IN DOUBT.
Has Not Decided Question of Indicting
insurance Officials.

New York, Dec. 28.-The grand
jurors have not decided whether or
not to return indictments against any
of the officers of the New York Life
Insurance company, based on the tes-
timony which has been submitted to
them during the last two weeks. They
resumed their discussion of the evil
deuce and their voting on the ques-
ton of indictments during the day
and it is not likely that they will ap-

Need Chance to Grow

Need Chance to Grow
"Here in Ohio there is no more need
for constitutional restraints than there
is in Minnesota, New York, Connects
cut or Pennsylvania, and there is no
more likelihood that the people of
Ohio today are so enlightened that
they can determine for all time just
what form of taxation will be best
suited for them either now or twenty
five years hence.
"You need the chance to grow, to
improve, to change, to adopt the sue
cessful experiments of other states and
countries and to try some experiments
of your own for your own good and
that of others.
eff could determine what should
be the constitution of Ohio in regard
to taxation the work would be very
simple, because there would be moth
ing in the constitution. Very likely
that would jar the superstitious rever-
enee of some people for written con-
situations, and probably you will be
obliged to keep something. Keep as
little as you can, and leave yourselves
as free as you can"
Carleton L. Wallace of Minneapolis
was called on just before the close of
the session on taxation, and made
little impromptu talk. He told how
framed the constitution in 1857, wanted
to get the very latest on taxation. So
they adopted the language of the Ohio
constitution, framed just six years be-
fore, in 1851, for the fundamental law
of the new state. They got along with
it until the present year. Minnesota
bas outgrown those restrictions and
has dispensed with the old constitu-
ton. He thought it about time for
Ohio to profit by the example, and to
go and do likewise. He said that the
Ohio tax commission, if it wanted to
wake people up and bring about tax
reform, had only to bring in drastic
tax code like that framed by the Min
nesota tax commission in 1902, and
they would have no trouble in getting
plenty of support for wldeopen
amendment. There would be no dan
ger, either, that the drastic code
would pass.
Mr.. Wallace returned from Column
bus yesterday. He said the Ohio
Board of Commerce is a splendid pub
lie organization with 1900 members
and great power for molding senti-
ment and legislation, representing
every section of the state, and both
city and country. He thinks Mime
sofa ought to have an organization of
the kind Minneapolis Journal.

DYING Man Would StrangIe Prisoner
Brought Before Him.

New York. Dec. 2S.-Dying from a
bullet wound in his back Matthew
Leddy sprang from his cot in Bellevue
hospital and tried to strangle Patrick
Hickey when Hickey was brought be-
fore him to be identified as the man

Hickey and Leddy were workmen

Total Death List Twelve.

The disrGtches say that the total
death list is probably twelve, that the
mob element among the whites has
mostly fed toward the Alabama state
line, while negroes in terror have
gathered at Scooba and Wahalak to

well as to offer a reward for faithful
effort on the part OF the lodge and
society workers-the West virginian
is impelled to offer two handsome
diamond rings to be voted to the Ia

ion Of the people Of the city and coun-
ty, are most entitled to the honor

It IS the desire OF the West Virgin

Of the ballot published herewith and
