voters of the city today. All indica-

point to the carrying of the tax, altho
t'the estimates of probable majorities
differ widely.
For an election of it's kind i. is an
unusually quiet one, the weather per-
haps being responsible for lack of
out door demonstration and argument
along the curb stones. Altho quiet, as
compared with other elections of recent
years, there has been slow but steady

the polls of the five wards all day.
From the number of votes cast at 2
half of the usual vote will be polled
But comparatively few women voted,

ASSESSORS MEET.
Instructions and State Laws Are Dis
cussed to Assessments Beinu Made.

More than score of township as
SCISSORS of the county meet with County
Auditor Erastus Cornell Saturday in
the board of supervisors room, to dis
cuss the requirements of the state in
the making of the annual assessments.
The chief purpose Of the conference
was to reach an understanding of the
basis of valuation on which assess
ments, especially of farm lands and
property, that the assessments in the
different townships should not vary
so much but should be more equitable.
Assessments made by assessors in diff
ferent townships on property of prac-
tically the same value have shown,
according to the assessors, a wide
range Of valuation for taxable pur-
poses. To correct this was the prin-
cipaI purpose of the meeting. Sew
eral hours were spent in discussion,
and in acquainting the assessors with
the laws governing the manner of as
sessment, which, in recent years have
grown complex.

Doctors Say Cannot Be cured-Those
Cured Prove They Can Be.
Those who have had epileptic fits

their sorry condition, enduring their
affliction as patiently as possible. 1t

ment and failed until they found
