other pieces Of property were higher
In proportion The board was able to
realize this fact fully and it was made
to appreciate that this thing of equal
ization Is a difficult and seemingly in
terminable problem.
1t is a matter of common remark
among people who have talked to the
various members Of the board. that all
of them have given the matter OF
equalization long and careful consd-
Grafton, and most Of them are able TO
give the average business man POINTS
and still hold up their end Of the dis
cussion. That is, where they consider
1t advisable to talk. AS a rule they
are not disposed to discuss the subject
unnecessarily. Most of them also, are
personally sensitive to criticism Of
their rather delicate work; but there
Is very little evidence that any of
them have allowed themselves to be
influenced by criticism, however un-
friendly or thoughtless.
AS a means of securing equaliZa-
ton among the townships, 1t was de-
cided on Thursday to add up the acre
age returned in each township, and
find the average price per itcre ut
which 1t Is assessed. This involved a
tremendous amount of work. but when
1t is completed as 1t was expected 1t
would be some time today. there will
be no difficulty in arriving at correct
basis Of equalization as between the
various townships.

Mr.. Love entered public life at the
inception Of the Farmers Movement
in 1892, and was elected to the house
in the primary Of that year as pro-
years later and In the primary OF
1896 was elected. to the senate; re-
ceiving 1.646 votes as against 1,4O7
for Hon. w. N. Elder, his opponent.
He served in the senate for one term
and did not stand for reelection;
but afterward served term as MEM
ber of the board Of penitentiary d.
rectors.
Upon his retirement from political
life, Mr.. Love devoted himself to his
farming and business interests, and
was getting along nicely until about
two years ago when, without warning,
he received a stroke Of paralysis,
which untitled him for the discharge
of his usual duties. and from which
he never recovered.

Of the first marrige, are one son and

UNDER LAVA AND ASHES.
All the Country Around Vesuvius /;
Scene of Great DesoIation.

There is reason to believe that the
worst part Of the volcanic eruption
Of Vesuvius is over. There has been
a marked cessation of the showers
Of ashes and sand, the lava is cooling
and earthquake shocks are less fire.
quent; but all the same the eruption
has been a notable one and no mis-
take.
The whole Vesuvian district, includ-
ing an area Of hundreds Of square
miles Is as bleak and as barren as
the desert Of Sahara. In many places
1t is piled with ashes and cinders to
a depth of from two to ten feet, and
a country which, few days ago, was
teeming with busy and more or less
prosperous population, Is now unable
to show up a living thing for miles
and miles, except a few struggling
soldiers, pushing their way over
the hot cinders in the hope of find
ing unfortunates who may not have
gotten out Of danger while they were
yet able.
The people of the Vesuvian district
are accustomed to eruptions Of the
volcano. and they understand that
every earthquake, or upheaval Of
lava mud, cinders or ashes is not to
be taken as a signal to flee for safety
to binding showers of hot cinders as
they would to a heavy shower of
semi-tropical rain. There was no
certainty to what the mountain was
going to do this time. and most of
the people remained in their homes
until driven out by the actual out
come of the lava.
The eruption steadily grew more
and more violent, the shower of Gin
ders and ashes grew heavier and
heavier and at length the roofs Of the
none too well built peasant houses
began to fall in from the heavy loads
that were piled upon them. In most
cases the inmates had fled to Naples
or points further up the peninsula;
but in some cases they were still hold
ing their ground and were buried In
their homes There have been nu-
merous cases Of this kind; but exact
ly how many will probably never be
known. In all 1t is estimated that
more than 5000 houses have been
destroyed. including of course entire
towns, but the loss of life has not
been great in proportion. There have
been fewer fatalities than in the case
Of any similar eruption.
Naples and other nearby cities are
full of refugees who have neither
money or provisions, and the govern
ment is doing all it can to assist those
In the greatest distress. Provisions
are being forwarded in large guam
titles, and troops are being kept on
the scene to assist I'm the preserva-
ton of order Having lost all of
their property and I'm many cases be-
ing uncertain as to the lives of rela-
tives and friends, many of the refu
gees are difficult to keep I'm order.

calculated that the Farm Journal had
a right to send out not exceeding 2S2,-
$50 copies at the second class rate OF
cent a pound. The time for the usual
monthly mailing of the Journal came
around last week, and after the num-
her mentioned had been placed in the
postoffice, the postal officials gave the
publishers to understand that addition
al copies would be received only at the
rate of cent each. The publishers
mt I'D $4,000 under protest and mailed
the additional 100000 papers. In the
meantime warrants We're sworn out
charging the publishers with conspira-
cy to defraud the government, and the
case promises to prove of great inter-
est especially to that class Of publish
ers engaged in the business of taking
advantage of the second class postage
rates for the benefit of publications In
tended primarily for the circulation or
questionable advertising matter. The
incident is also of very considerable in
terest to the public at large. Up to
few years ago a large portion of the
public had the idea that failure to pay
for a newspaper which may have been
sent to them without authority; but
which they had received from the post
office, brought them in danger Of COM
plications with the Federal authorities.
1t now however, appears that 1t Is not
the innocent recipient of such paper;
but rather the publisher who sends 1t
to him without authority that Is
trenching upon the law. The rigid en-
forcement of this law by postmasters
generally would not only curtail the
circulation Of fake advertising sheets
of the kind here involved; but 1t would
also materially reduce the number OF
political and personal organs of every
character, and leave undisturbed only
those newspapers and periodicals which
rest their claims for support solely on
the service they are able to render
their patrons.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

The county board Of equalization
has been wrestling with the tax return
question all the week. and as to
whether or not 1t will get through to-
day, cannot be definitely stated at
this time: but that it will adjourn eth
er this afternoon or tomorrow, now
seems reasonably certain, except in
the event of development Of new con-
tingencies that are not now foreseen.
The main part of the boards work
has been to hear complaints from in
dividuals i'm the various townships
who think that the raises that have
been marked against them by the va
rious boards of assessors have been
too high. Some of these complaints
have been justified and some have
been more or less ludicrous; but in
each case the board accorded patient
and painstaking hearings. and then
did its best to reach just and proper
conclusion.
There were cases i'm which the COM
plainants came before the board with
pitchforks. fguratively speaking. They
had only been paying on such and
such q valuation for years, and their
assessments had been raised to figures
beyond the value Of their lands. These
claims were frequently met with good
natured offers to take the lands off
their hands at 60 per cent over as
sessed figures; but so far as has been
heard there have been no transfers to
members of the board.
Some of the complainants seemed
to have the idea that their township
boards had personal grudges against
them, and there were strong intima-
tions to that effect; but as all the
members of the board had had eXpe-
riences of that kind until they had
grown callous to such charges, they
were able to hold the issue down to
the question of the actual value of the
property under consideration, as COM
pared with the property adjoining,
etc. 1t was shown in some cases that
than they ought to be and that certain
certain pieces of property were lower

In all there are seventy cases on CAL
endar of the court of common pleas.
Some of these have been pending for
years, and the probability is that
among them are quite a number that
will never be tried at all. Included in
the number are some thirty or forty
cases that will probably be tried some
