Sometimes when the taxman comes around property isn't as valuable as it seems to be on other days For in- stance, MT. J. J, Hills ore lands, re- gently leased to the United States Steel Corporation on terms highly gratifying to Great Northern stock holders. These properties have been valued for assessment purposes at less than $9O,O0O,OOO but MT. Hill in his tes- timony before the Minnesota State Railroad Commission valued them at between $40O, 10000 and S6OO,00O, ,OOO and this estimate was sustained by wit nesses for the steel corporation. The State has promptly accepted the new valuation as valid and is preparing to begin an action for the recovery of six years unpaid taxes
 Quite a rise. It leads the New York World to remark: This is cutting a melon of another kind. Apparently tho Minnesota authorities have become apt pupils in the modern school of high finance. They have discovered a good thing" and propose to give tax payers the benefit of it, just as if they were stockholders. The result should be to raise MT. Hill yet higher in the estimation of his fellow-citizems. He has contributed, unwittingly it Is true. to Tighten their tax burdens by passing on to them some of the prosperity he had planned for shareholders.

People who didn't get anything yes terday can perhaps get some consola- ton in laying it to the carelessness of Santa Claus, or somebody else. It ap- pears that during the last fiscal year the Postoffice department received $24, ,0O052 from unclaimed dead letters, and that the greater part of the dead letters have their origin in misdirec- tions during the Christmas season of giving and of receiving. Many expec- tants of the holiday season of 1906 will believe themselves to have been for gotten, and many givers will wonder over the remissness of the intended recipients in failure to acknowledge the receipt of money, when the failure will be due to the sender, and not be- cause of remissness on the part of any one else.
 So goes the world, or, at least, a part of it. The careful man makes himself and others uncomfortable by his fuss mess" and the careless man makes himself and others uncomfortable by his lack of fussiness. There will be q New Year soon, and then we can all resolve to be careful without being fussy.

THE LESSON OF TWO GRAVES.
How Two Men Made Characteristic

How Two Men Made Characteristic
 Provision for Their Bodies
 Two men, each of considerable prominence in this world, died recent ly, and each did characteristic thing immediately before his death, and yet the world would not have sup posed that either would have done just the thing he did. The men were Gov Hogg of Texas and Russell Sage. And the characteristic and yet unex- pected things they did were these the Texas Governor directed that a pecan tree be planted at the head of hIs grave and a walnut tree at the foot; and Russell Sage directed that his body be buried in a steel casket weighing three tons and burglar proof, lacked sealed and consigned to eternity
 The world looked with expectancy and hope and onhdenee-confiden in the death-bed virtue of terror- stricken humanity--for some great benefactlon to be disclosed by the will of Russell Sage, the millionaire miser, the poorest richest man in all history. It was disappointed not so much in it's own expectations as in It's eharit- able estimate of the man himself. In- stead Of such a becuest we have the heavy steel coffin that is to guard his corpse from the hand of ghouls.
 MT. Sage, it seems, remembered acutely the misfortune that befel the body of A. T. Stewart which was taken from its grave and held for ran som in the sum of s2O000O. The miser- ly millionaire did not like to think that such a fate might come to his dead body to be stolen from the grave whence it is enjoying its solitary va- cation, and hawked about as if 1t were a commodity on "the street" Also we may imagine, he did not relish the Idea of having S200,O0O of his cherished gold paid for his body after the mon ey-making genius had fled from it's tenement The body could no longer make money and the great and vir- ginal fortune of the millionaire must not be levied upon to purchase so profitless a piece of clay The massive coffin, heavy as that in which Alaric was buried in the bed of the BuRenti- nus, cost the millionaire some S22,000. 1t must have been like wormwood, the tEors1t that he could, were it not for a senseless prejudice. have had his body eremated for a trifling sum, and

Perhaps there is no rule for being happy though married, and some cyn- ics say that it is impossible to be happy in such a condition But married peo- pie do occasionally manage to live to- gether, and it is interesting to notice how they do it. It is stated that a man who has just died in Montreal succeeded in living with his wife for the last twenty years without speaking to her. The wife, who liked pretty things to wear, bought a bonnet for $4.5O without telling her husband of the purchase until the article was deliv- cred. She says she thought to sur prise him, and she did. Instead of be- ing pleased he was enraged, and high words followed. In the end the man declared that he would not speak to his wife again for twenty-five years. He kept his word up to the day he  died Except for the matter of speak ing the couple lived together in seem ing harmony. They dined together, travelled together and entertained mu- tual friends, but while conversation with others never Jagged, no word was ever spoken by the husband to his wife. When the wife found it necessary to communicate with her spouse she did so. If forced to reply he wrote out his message or conveyed it through a servant
 This was better than being divorced once or twice, or more. Perhaps an agreement not to talk would keep many couples out of the divorce court.

The Giornale d'Italia publishes sev- eral hitherto unpublished short letters of Garibaldi. They were written by the famous general to Mrs. Caroline Giffard Philips, rich English woman who had developed an enthusiasm for the destinies of Italy, and almost wor- shipped Giuseppe Garibaldi. In 1866 she went so far as to charter a vessel to save Garibaldi from the surveillance of the Italian government, but, as a matter of fact, only succeeded in get ting him into difficulties with the po- lice.

Speaking of the bureau of informa- tion for State legislators established in wisconsin by Charles Mccarthy the Chicago Daily News says that the process of lawmaking in American States is notoriously slipshod. The courts are kept busy setting aside inn proper legislation, Common sense is on the side of utilizing in the making of laws some of the ability called into service to pass upon measures after they are enacted.

Are Lost.

Three Of the crew of twelve y,e
drowned. The otner mine, after a ter

seven hours later in an exhausted con-

The City of Concord was built
thirty-eight years ago, but, notwith-
standing her age, her captain, Charles
McEacheran, of Buffalo, put out Of this
harbor in the face OF the high wind
Saturday night with three barges in
tow. For several hours she was able
to proceed only few miles from port.
In spite of the increasing storm she
made no effort to return to this har.
Dor, but late in the afternoon steamed
westward. That was the last seen OF
the vessel until the news of the sink
ing reached here. Nothing definite
has been received as to the fate Of the
barges, and II Is feared that some Of
them have gone down.

TAFT TAKES OVER
CUBAN REPUBLIC
Secretary of War Issues Proc
lamatiOn Declaring Himself
Head of Government
President Palma Expresses Relief at
Shifting the Burden Of Guiding
the Tempestuous Republic,
While the Masses are
Utterly Indifferent

Hayana.-With far less ostentation
than accompanies the accession OF
government of Cuba was formally
taken over on Saturday by William ii.
Taft secretary of war of the United
States, who, in a proclamation cloth
ed in kindly and diplomatic tone,
indicative OF the policy he would pur-
sue, declared himself provisional
governor OF the island. Promptly at
noon Governor Taft, Assistant Secre-
tary OF State Bacon and Captain Nc
Cook, Governor Taft's aide-de-camp,
called officially at the palace and paid
their respects to the retiring prea-
dent. Ignoring President Palma's
message to congress on Friday, in
which he wrongly interpretated the
mission of the American mediators,
Governor Taft spoke kindly to Senior
Palma, to whom, he said, the people
of Cuba owed an unquestionable debt
Of gratitude. President Palma's brief
reply was devoted entirely to an ex-
preston of relief for the opportunity
OF shifting the burden of guiding the
tempestuous republic to the represen-
tatives of nation strong enough to
enforce control over 1t.
The fact that the government has
changed hands, from a position OF abb
solute independence to the restraint
Of temporary protector, ETC., was re.
ceived by the masses with utter indif-
ference. Most of the refined and
thoughtful Cubans, while they feel a
certain sensativeness over the loss OF
the islands sovereignty, are inclined
to hope that the United States pro-
tectorate will be brief.
A Cuban returning to Havana on
Saturday after brief absence would
not have recognized from the general
attitude of the people that the form OF
government had been altered. Bust
ness continued the same, except for
the vigor exhibited by the wholesale
merchants, manufacturers and rail-
roads, to regain their former trade
throughout the island, which has been
at stasAstill since the beginning OF
the revolution six weeks ago.

WEBER PAYS THE PENALTY.
Murderer Of Father, Mother, Sister
and Brother Is Executed.

and Brother Is Executed.
Folsom, Cal.-AdolpE Weber met
death on the gallows at 1926 D. m.
Thursday in expiation Of the crime Of
numbering his mother. He went to
the scaffold with a firm step and to
the very last maintained the nerve
which has characterized him as one
of the most remarkable criminals of
the century. He was pronounced
dead at 1910, fourteen minutes after
his body shot through the trap.
The crime for which Adolph Weber
paid the extreme penalty of the law
was most revolving. On the night Of
Nov. 10, 1904, the town Of Auburn,
Placer county, was aroused by an
alarm of fire, caused by the burning
of the residence Of julius Weber,
wealthy retired merchant. When the
firemen and many citizens neared the
house they found that all the gates
and doors had been barred. Inside
the burning building were found the
dead bodies of Mrs. julius Weber, her
daughter Bertha and little son Earl.
Two days later the body OF julius We
Der was found. Mrs. Weber and Ber-
tina had been shot, while Earl's death
was caused by beating with blunt
instrument. Adolph, the only surviv-
ing member of The family and sole
heir to its wealth, a young man OF
ability but a recluse in his habits, was
arrested and convicted OF the crime.
