TO TAN ORE OUTPUT.

Senator Carter NJ. Buford Of
Reynolds county has introduced d
measure in the State Senate to tax
all ores, other than coal, on plan
very much as merchandise is taxed.
except that the returns on the
value Of ore shall be fixed by the
assessor in the same manner as
other property is valued.
The bill provides that all persons
or corporations owning or leasing
lead, zinc, copper and all other
mines, other than coal, and oper-
atlng the same, shall weigh and
keep careful account of all weights
in pounds and in tons Of milled or
clean ore, and statement of the
aggregate weights for the year pre-
cedlng June of every year shall be
made under oath by the president,
secretary, treasurer or general
manager of the firm or corporal ton
so operating such mine, and such
statement shall be filed with the
county clerk for the use of the
assessor or board of equalization.
a fair and conservative estimate
OF the lead produced in st. Fran.
co.'s county every year may be
placed at $40, 100000. Does any
one for moment argue that the
production of 500, 200, 600 of lead
IN this county should go untaxed, |
while the farmer pays his taxes on
every bushel of wheat aud corn
and upon any COW or
hog raised! Are not these great
stores OF ore placed in the earth by
a wise Providence! And does not

Of this wealth taken away from

taxed upon the same basis as the
products of the individual citizen?

products of st. Francois county

production in this great State. Yet
he assessed taxable wealth of this
county is below ten millions.
This system of taxing mine pro-
lucts has been followed in all the
Western States where mines are
perated. 1t works well and its
putty is not questioned. Is it

The New London franchise would be better placed down in Naugatuck or even in waterville. More women fans would turn out to the games in those places than the combined forces over in New London.
 When Charley Humphrey quits the game as he intends to do the Connee- ticut league will lose a manager that has done his best to make things meet over in New London. It is not the managers fault by any means, be- cause the town itself is dead only when a boat race takes place.
 With Meriden in the league and as things look now that is a possibility, the old rivalry between this city and the Reilly stronghold would be revfv- ed. Connected by trolley now the games would be attended by a big gathering of fans from both cities. We would like to see New Britain in the league too. but Norwich seems to be making good over there. aI- though the trips over to that village are expensive ones for the other nIduoErAs

Springfield Drives Us Into Second Place Holyoke Jumps 10
 the Head.

Springfield, June s.--Playing almost perfect ball behind Jack Hess and shaping the slants of Yerkes to lonely places, the Ponies Kept up their winning way yesterday. Waterbury came to the field as tue holder of the hurrah perch and left 1t with nothing better than a shaky grip on second place, freak in the percentage work ing still leaving her scanr point above Springfield. A grand display of pitching and fielding kept the visit ors from aLnexiny I tally while i've Ponies were hitting the run heap.
 Two hits were all that Hess allowed. Otherwise he was as tight as a miser with his horde, except that he also awarded complimentary trips to first on two occasions. Only four of the invaders became base runners for the support behind the big twirler was of the type that takes pennants. The hitting of the herd was of the line brand, almost every clout going off the bat with the ring that brings out the gleeful yelps.
 Waterbury didn't play poor ball, but 1t didn't perform like team that had held the lead by right of merit.
 In the sixth Waterbury looked good enough to get a run. One was out when McAndrews slapped to center for base. He stole second and con tinued on to third as the throw was low. Swander was walked, but La chance lifted fly to Burns, the ball being taken we'll into right field. It was hurled home in time to nall Me Andrews at the plate, Hess taking the throw. After that it was down and out in order for the visitors. The ccoro. -

WALK ENGLISH CHANNEL.
Man Who Walked Ohio and fississ
 sippi Rivers Will Try It.

Memphis, June s.-Confident that he can achieve what Paul Boyntops Captain Webb and other swimmera have attempted in swimming the English channel between. the shore9 of France and England, Charles ", Oldrieve, who has accomplished tho task of walking the water route from Cincinnati to New Orleans via the ohio and Mississippi rivers. VIII leave shortly for England to prepare for his walk across the channel from Calais to Dover or from Dover % Calais.
 0ldrieye is resting here at present. His long journey in his cedar shoe3 which he uses in his river-waIkinE exploits has reduced his weight con. siderably and 1t iss with a view of taking on more flesh that he ha1 adopted a plan of rest here.
 With a s1O.0o0 wager as side issue. oldrieye expects to walk the channel. There is no limit of time placed on his venture, as witnessed the conditions of his walk from Cin~ cinnau to the Crescent city. The only stipulation is that he must ac- complish the feat of walking b. tween Calais and Dover without turning back, or. in other words, tho tourney must be a continuous one after starting. If in thirty day1 after the start of his frzt trial ho has not accomplished his object ha must forfeit his share of the wager.
 Oldrieve will be accompanied in his trip across the channel by Mrx vldrieve. She accompanied him during his forty days trip down the ohio and Mississippi rivers, making the journey in small launch. which served as a '1ifeboat" in case of ec- cident or collapse.
 The trip to New Orleans con sumed little less than forty dagN. OldrIeve says he has never been able to collect his share of the st.o00 purse, although he won the wager by finishing the long route in lez1 than the stipulated time-forty days
 OIdrieve wiII leave shortly for his home in Cincinnati to order con- struction of a new pair. of csdzr shces for his channel trip. He is confident that he can croa ths treacherous ehannel.vfth its myri1fs of miniature whiripools and under currents, for he declares that there can be nothing more treacherorE than the fckle under currents of tts main channel of the Nis<issippi river. lie has given several exhihiflo1< i1 front of the local harbor.

CITY LEAGUE MEETING.
Important Meeting of the Managers
 Will Be Held This Evening.

Owing to the fact that the City league games cannot go on to-mor- row. there will be an important meeting of the league managers this evening at o'clock sharp in the St Josephs' rooms. Every manager should be present as the business to be transacted concerns the existence of the league. The teams were pre- vented from playing three Sundays in the first of the season and to-mor- row will make three more Sundays on which games have not been con tested. It will be almost impossible to run out the schedule unless new grounds are secured, or unless there are no further Interruptions out at Reidville. The matter will be fully thrashed out tonight and the man. agers will decide just what they will do.

NfERIDEN WILL BUY.
Business Men of That City Want New
 London Franchise.

Meriden, June S.-The fact that the New London State league base ball franchise has been offered for sale has awakened much interest here. It can be safely stated that Meriden stands ready to buy if Humphrey does not put his price too high. A dozen Meriden business men will put money into 1t, believing that the city will support team now better than ever before, and that there will be money in the game here. We have direct trolley and rail connection with Water bury now, and Waterbury has always been keen rival of Meriden in base ball and has helped to keep up inter- est here. Without doubt Mir Hum- phrey can sell his franchise to Meri- den.
