Al VALOREM TAX Valid
Law Passed in Michigan in 1901 Held To Be Constitutional
-.Rulng Involves Two Million Dollars in ~
Back Taxes on Railroads Alone

Washington, April 3.-The supreme
court OF tie United States has de-
cided the Michigan railroad tax cases,
avolving the taxes of all the railroads
IN that state for several years past,
against the railroads. The opinion was
by Justice Brewer.
There were twenty-seven of these
cases, all involving the validity of act
173 of the Michigan legislature of 1901,
passed under authority given by an
amendment to the state constitution
adopted in 1900. This law changed the
method of taxing railroad and kindred
corporations from the old system OF
exacting the payment of a certain per
cent of their gross earnings to an ad
valorem system, providing for the fix
ing of the tax value of the railroads on
the average value at which other prop
erty in the state is assessed. The
taxes levied against the various rail-
roads of the state for 1902, the first
year after the new law went into ef-
feet, aggregated $744,S98, as against
$263,446, the amount which would
have been called for under the old
system.
Decision Involves $2sooo,ooo. :
The railroad companies rendered the
latter sum and resisted the payment
of the difference, amounting to $4&1;;-
451. Each year since the companies
have refused to pay the differences, so
that the suits involved an accumula-
ton of about 100000 in taxes, as
we'll as the establishment of tax sys-
TEN for the state permanently fixing
their annual payments at about three
times as much as they have been in
| the past. The railway companies con-
| tended that in arriving at conclu-
sion as to the valuation of their prop
! erty the state board of assessors IN
dervalued other property in the state
! and thus Disseminated against the
! railroads. Hence they claimed that
the action was in contravention Of tbs
; fourteenth amendment to the national
Constitution. The circuit court dis
missed the bill of the railroad com
panies, thus sustaining the action of
the state tax authorities and uphold
Ing the law under which it was taken
and its decision was affirmed.

NOT WAITING FOR JEROME.
Grand Jury Told to Take Up Insur-
ance Matters.


New York, April 3-Recorder Golf,
at the empanelling of the April grand
jury in the court of general sessions,
instructed the jury to take up insur-
ance matters, although District Attor-
ney Jerome has asked for a special
grand jury in May for that purpose.
Recorder Golf spoke to the jury con-
corning the work of the March grand
jury under Judge O'Sullivan and the
conflicts between Judge O'Sullivan
and the district attorney in giving his
instructions.
Recorder Golf, in charging the jury.
said that the insurance matters had
been called to his attention by Judge
O'Sullivan, who presided over the
March grand jury. He said it appeared
to him that the March grand jury had
been properly instructed by both
Judge O'Sullivan and District Attorney
Jerome that there was reasonable
ground for the belief that there is
available evidence showing that crime
had been committed in insurance mat
tiers. He instructed the grand jury
that it had untrammeled powers to act
in the matter as it saw fit

Bad Fire Near Lickingyille.

John and Jacob Groner, who owned a
planning mill, blacksmith shop and hard
ware store combined on the Fryburg
road, about a half mile from Licking
vile, Clarion county, suffered a severe
loss on Monday afternoon, when their
establishment was completely destroyed
by fire. The building caught fire on the
roof from a spark from the boiler, about
two O'clock, and when discovered was
under such headway that nothing could
be done to check it. 1t was only by the
hard work of the neighbors from Lick
ingville that the flames were kept from
spreading to the house, barn and other
buildings which stood near. The burned
structure was substantial two-story
frame building with boiler house at
tached, and contained under the one roof
complete outfits for planning mill, shin
gle mill and blacksmith shop, besides a
stock of general hardware. All this was
destroyed. The loss to the Groner broth
ers is placed at about 81 7,O00, upon which
we understand there was no insurance.
In addition to their loss, some of their
neighbors lost about 81 900 worth of lum-
Der and shingles which went up in smoke
with the mill.

Nlayburg.

According to our prediction of last week
Mayburg is already winning laurels as a
famous ball team. Cherry Grove sent
over good team but they went down to
certain defeat. The chief cause of their
defeat was the excellent pitching of f. S.
Richards. For three innings neither
side scored, but our boys got down to
real ball playing in the fourth, making
two scores. After that our boys had an
easy victory. The game was well at
tended by the Cherry Grove sports, as
our own home folks. Everybody was
delighted with the pluck and skill dis
played on both sides. Our boys are only
waiting for chance to repeat the affair.

RECENT DEATHS.
MISS MAUD ovERLANDER.

Maud Belle Overlander was born in
Kingsley township, Dec. %, 1887, and
died at the home of her father, Jesse s.
Overlander, in Tionesta, Pa, June IL,
1906. For the past two years she has
been in poor health, and about year ago
it became evident that she was the victim
of that dreaded disease, tuberculosis. She
met the knowledge of her condition with
remarkable fortitude for one so young in
years, and put forth every effort to re-
gain her lost health. With this hope she
was taken to the Grand View Sanitarium
in Oil City, and for a time it seemed as if
she might recover. But suffering re-
lapse, at her request, she was removed to
her home at this place. The change was
beneficial and she grew stronger and was
able to be about the house until her death.
Monday morning she suffered severe
hemorrhage and lived but few minutes,
passing away as peacefully as a child
closing its eyes in sleep. Maud was a
young woman possessing many admir-
able qualities. Kind and atfectionate in
the home, cheerful and unsefish with her
companions, she was loved by all who
knew her. During her long sickness she
often spoke of the fatal termination of
her disease and expressed her hope in
Christ as personal Savior. She is sur
vived by her father and three sisters:
Mrs. w. II. Hood, Mrs. Horace Walters,
of Tionesta, and Miss Mildred, who re-
sides at home. The funeral occurred at
the house on Wednesday morning at ten
o'clock, Revs. W. o. Calhoun and II. A.
Zahniser conducting the services, and
the body was laid to rest in Riverside
Cemetery.
