Inst IA Good as Currency.

These clearing house certificates will
tend to work out from the large cities
into the rural communities and when
they do come people should not hesitate
to accept them. The merchants can de-
post them with the banks and the banks
can pay them out again as checks. No
body should refuse to take them freely
when offered, for as they can be spent in
the stores the same as ordinary currency,
and the stores can in turn deposit them
in the banks for credit, there is really no
difference between them and those is
sued by the government. Nobody would
claim for an instant that silver certif-
cate for, five dollars is really worth five
dollars. 1t circulates for five dollars on
the basis of the five silver dollars (now
worth about $500 deposited with the
treasury, and as five. dollar clearing
house certificate is secured by deposit
of standard securities worth at least
$685., there is no reason Why it should
not be accepted as freely as the silver
certificate.

The proposition to put complete
and up to- date fire alarm system in this
city was made to the common council at
the Tuesday evening meeting by the
Signalphone Alarm company of Milwau-
kee. 1t consists of mechanical device
to be installed at central telephone sta
ton and connected with steam whistle
at the pumping station. 1t is guaran-
teed to notify every person within two
miles when an alarm is turned in. The
price for the machine and installation is
six hundred dollars. The council have
the matter of purchasing under advise
ment until the next meeting.
The last Of the sugar beets have
been received during the week, thus
closing the shipments of the season. In
all about 100 car loads were dispatched
from this station, more than three quar-
ters Of which went to the GAINESVILLE fac
tory. Ths average yield, however, has
been somewhat less than last year, due
doubtless to the long continued wet
weather during the early part of the sea
son. But the growers never had more
favorable time for the harvesting and
delivery OF the crop, for there has been
scarcely rain since the marketing COM
-menced. As the price was fixed upon a
tonnage basis, growers will receive some
what less than other seasons for the crop

County and State Taxes.

The committee for levying the amount
of taxes necessary for county and state
purposes for thea ensuing year reported
to the county board last week. After
the budget was cut down from $4,000
to $4,000 for general purposes, the re-
port was accepted.
The amounts for the several purposes
were as follows: Interest on certificates
of Indebtedness "a, 722.45; for free high
schools S., 1851; for graded schools
1886 46; for the state university-$19,-
32O.7O; for normal schools SO, 1892; for
common schools S41 BAL 60; for special
charges on Rock county from state asy-
lums, etc.-S5, 228 "a; for special charges
for school districts = $282903; total
sum of $36 533.75 as county school tax
amount to the state school fund income.
GAINESVILLE will pay $S,67O.5O and Beloit,
S9,0647l, of this amount. For paying
asylum bonds Nos. 161-180, the sum of
$10, 450 is to be raised; for the soldiers
relief fund-S5, 3OO for permanent
highway fund SIS, 200; and there is to
be levy on all O. the county save the
cities of Beloit and GAINESVILLE of $4,000
for the compensation as allowances OF
the school superintendents.
There will be about $4,000 in the
treasury on January but reports were
very hazy as to what portion OF this
amount would be available for general
purposes. The four banks of GAINESVILLE
offered to pay 3 per cent. on daily bal
ances and asked that the deposits be di-
vided among them as equally as possible.
The Beloit State bank wanted from
$4,000 to $4,000 on the same terms, but
resolution to accept the offer was de-
feated by vote OF 20 to Is. The James
vile banks proposition was accepted.

FRANK LANG TAKEN TO MENDOZA.

Becomes Violent When Removed to the
Train
Frank Lang. young man who resides
in the western part of town, has shown
symptoms Of insanity for several weeks
past. Lately he became so troublesome
that his relatives appealed to the author
tiles to commit him to an asylum for
treatment. Judge Sale issued orders for
an examination to local physicians and
on Saturday commitment was placed
in the hands OF Under Sheriff George
Appleby. When Lang found that the
purpose was to take him to Mendoza he
became violent and though possessed of
but one hand became very troublesome
person to handle With the assistance
of City Marshal Philip WEIGH and nearly
all of the train crew the patient was
finally bundled into the baggage car,
but there the real struggle had only just
commenced, as the official soon learned
20 his sorrow. For as the latter made
an attempt to adjust the streps, Lang
set his teeth in the muscles of the under
sheriff's left forearm, biting through the
sleeve of coat, sweater and two shirts,
and badly decorating the flesh before he
could be forced to let go of his bulldog
hold. He was finally overpowered and
bound down but he did not cease to
struggle until he had reached his des-
tination. The train crew bound up the
wound as best they could and when he
had turned the man over to the hospital
authorities, Under-Sheriff Appleby had
the wound cleansed and cauterized. AL
though the injury was very painful
one, no serious consequences of per-
manent character are anticipated.
Lang is 20 years old and has wife
and baby few months old. The fam
lily removed here from Orfordville last
winter where Lang's parents reside.

and these were as follows:

A combination of the lowest bids
makes the estimate for completed build
ing SAC, 1856, or more than $1,000 above
the intended appropriation of Miss
Child. The committee, therefore, re-
jected all bids and will instruct the
architect to revise the plans SO as to
come within the $4,000 limit. Probably
further bids will not be solicited until
spring.

The Chronicle and Its Work.

The Chronicle first thrust it.
self into ewSpaperdom on the
5th day Of Novem Der, 1895 just
exactly 13 years ago. The out.
look for long life at that time
was pretty slim. In fact some
of our most astute business men
predicled that The Chronicle
wcuis wcuis- six mouths. Their
prediction was probably based
on the fact that others, in many
respects, especially financially,
better qualified torun a news
paper had dismally failed. How
ever, we directed every one to
the motto as printed on the
paper-'Tis' Not in Mortals to
Command Success, But Wen
Do More, Well Deserve It".
And for thirteen long years we
have done everything in our
power to deserve success. Audwe
have succeeded. Today wehave
here in Cheraw the best equip
ped little printing plant, for the
size of the town, to be found in
the State. And all that we have
omplished is due to the loyal
ty of our friends here in Cheraw
and other sections of the coun-
ty. Without their sympathy,
advice and support we cou d
have accomplished nothing. The
Chronicle is not what we would
like il to be. We wish, for the
sake of our town and county,
that we could bring The Chron-
icle up to our ideal of q weekly
paper. This. however, we can
never hope to do. We will con-
tinue, however, to do the very
best under the circumstances
that we can to improve and make
The Chronicle a better paper:
It is with a feeling of mingled
pride and satisfaction that this
anniversary edition ofThe Ohron-
icle is unfurled to public view.
