going to lead to great results.
When one thinks Of the fact that
the packers have raised the price
Of food on every man. woman and child
In the country, the wonder IL that any
official would have the temerlty to over.
look their taxes.
The Armour estate assessed on
100000 and the Field estate on over
$l3.OOO.O0O makes quite a contrast.
~
The Eagle will keep up the fight for
honest taxation. II It takes years to
bring about reform.
II that big Armour estate, estimated
at one time ut $25OOO,OOO has been dis.
trlbuted In Chicago. the result does not
show on the tax books.
~e1A
The recent great increase In the
price Of meat alone, ought to have fur.
nished the packers with enough money
to pay their taxes upon all Of their
personal property holdings, stocks,
bonds and everything else.

We are surprised ut the Swifts and
Armours hcsltatlng a minute about
handing over millions In taxes. Just

vanceJ In price at the right time,
would realize fortune In a day.
The poor man and the man In me-
dunn circumstances must bear the tax
burdens. The rich corporations and
their stockholders escape.
What interest has always derived
the greatest benefit from the police
force In times of strikes? The packing
interest. Of course. And yet this In.
terest owes over twenty millions Of
dollars to the people for back taxes.

The Board Of Review will be held
to- a strict accountability for its fail.

share Of the taxes.

The people are talking more and
more about Armour and his taxes.

What interest derives the creates,

That will be a great day for Chicago
when steam, heat and power will be

Does the small property owner ant

The REQ Death.

Il win be remembered that
Allan Poe in his "Masque of the
Death described a plague, the H..
symptom of which was a bleeding
from the pores of the body.
In Central America the red death is
personified in the blood snake, or, as
the Spanlards call it, vivora sangre.
This snake is of red tinged black on
the back, while underneath it is of a
bright vermilion. Its deadly work is
easily recognizable in the condition of
the victim. An Indian cattlem an, find
ing cow bleeding at the nose, eyes
and ears and perspiring blood at every
pore, does not hesitate to blame it on
yivora sangre. Unfortunately the eff
feet upon the human being is the same.
and our Indian friend quite realizes it
when he lights cberoot, gathers his
blanket around him and stoically sits
down to await the meeting with his
orefathers.-New York Times.

Letters were found on her which con-

The girl is dark complexioned and of
