The Way Rome Taxes American,

"s Ah'hht americans
Tax lodging is difficult I'm Rome. &C.
cording to the Dundee Advertiser. The
assessors of the income tax in the city
OF Rome are now called upon to tax
American visitors on the basis of their
apparent incomes. All sorts of reasons
are alleged for the existence of "con-
cealed wealth." One American visitor
was heavily taxed on the ground that
his diamond rings were of such a value
as TO stamp him undeniably as n mil
lionaire. He repudiated the statement.
when ii was triumphantly pointed out
TO him that his name appeared daily In
journal which inserted fashion
notes only on payment. Another Wis
itor was taxed on the basis of the num-
Der OF letters which he received from
home. This, said the assessor, declar-
cd him to be n man OF substance. He
retorted that the letters contained
small sums of money, and, to his
amazement, he was met by the counter
assertion that the contents OF the let
tiers were known. A lady. was taxed
on the ground that she mixed. with
other people who were taxed at car
tain level, ana Americans regard
equality in wealth an social equality"
She attempted to controvert the srgu-
ment, but in vain.

Starting In a shanty and henhouse,
with almost no property beyond hoe

up gradually, much as town grows.
We need food for our tables. Farm

started to meet this need. With the
need for shelter for our students
courses In house building and carpen-
try were added. Out OF these brick
making and brick masonry naturally
grew.
The increasing demand for buildings
made further specialization IN the in,
dustries necessary. Soon we found

TO Rival NIAGARA.
Long Defiance Power VIII Re wrunR
From st. Louis River.

There is nearing completion ON the
shores of st. Louis bay, in Minnesota,
what will be the second greatest cleo
trical power plant i'm the world, Like
that of Niagara falls, it will supply en-
ergy for the uses of commerce, manu-
facture and social life 10y Harvesting
the hidden forces of n slow running
stream ana carrying them several
miles overland to do mans work. But,
unlike the Niagara power plant, the
Great Northern plant, as 1t is called,
will enhance rather than detract from
the natural beauty Of the place where
Il Is located
Already q regiment OF men has been
engaged more than a year in building
the enormous service reservoir, the
canal, the forebay and the pipe lines
which will be the means OF bringing
to bear the might OF the st. Louis riv-
er's currents on the great engines and
dynamos of the power house. ln build
ing the service reservoir at point
where the river broke through a nat
ural barrier of slate rock il. was nee
essary to construct fifteen concrete
dams, one of which is 1,15O feet long
NAAN WY ANCN hiSh. AhC ItSCl WIZ 10
an artificial lake with an area of $50
acres. The forebay at the end of the
canal, which is two miles long, spreads
over forty acres. From here the water
pours directly into the huge pipes
which will discharge into the powerful
turbines that are to generate electric
lty for the whole western shore of
Lake Superior. These pipes are a mile
long and for most of that distance are
composed of slaves of California red
wood made into great tubes seven feet
in interior diameter and bound round
and round with bands of steel.
The power house will have, to start
with, capacity of 10000 horsepower,
sufficient to run not only the trolley
cars, electric lights and machinery of
Duluth and OF Superior, its sister city
on the other side Of st. Louis bay, but
also various manufacturing plants, big
and little, near and far. To Increase
this initial capacity to $4,000 horse
power 1t will be necessary only to put
In more pipe lines, while the engineers
In charge Of the work say that by
conveying water from the river over
140 feet fall directly into Duluth
10000 additional horsepower can be
produced.
The electrical current generated in
| the Great Northern power house at
the foot OF the uplands will be trans
mitted over aerial wires to n substa.
ton in Duluth, fourteen miles away.
and from there distributed through the
city. From this substation. too, IL will
be carried to Superior in submarine ca
bles. Both American and foreign en-
gineers have been engaged in the de-
velopment of this remarkable scheme.
which when fully completed will give

Therefore, when your kidneys are weak

quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its

If you are sick or "feel badly" begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial

DIR. KilIner's Swamp-Root, the great

HOTEL AT WADE MECUM BURNED
Many of the Guests Had Narrow Is

and Effects.

A special To Saturdays News and
Observer gives the following account
of disastrous fire at Wade Mecum
Springs early Friday morning:
The main hotel building at Wade
Mecum Springs, fourteen miles north
of Rural Hall, was destroyed by fire
at $3.50 O'Clock this morning The
total loss on building. furniture. etc.
is placed at $4,000. There were
thirty or more guests in the building
and some of them had narrow es-
capes. All of them lost their trunks
and clothing. One lady rushed out
of the building through flames with
her baby in her arms. Both had their
hair badly singed. The origin OF the
fire is not definitely known. One
opinion is that the building was
struck by lightning. An electrical
storm passed over that section about
the time the fire was discovered.
Another belief expressed is that the
confiagration was started by the ex-
piosion of lamp. DIR. ii. +. Nc
Knight, of Southern Pines, who Is
managing the summer resort this
year, lost $1,000 in cash, besides
considerable effects.

The following special from Lin

Raleigh Evening Times on Friday
afternoon:
yesterday was Bryan's busy day.
1t was also his joyful day.
''The business that occupied his
time was greeting steady stream of
pilgrims. The joyfulness was result
ant upon the visit of delegation of
Lincoln negroes, heretofore staunch
Republicans, who marched out to
Fairview to pledge their support to
the Democratic ticket.
''The visiting negroes carried a
banner labelling it's followers as
members of the negro Bryan and
Kern club of Lincoln. While Mr..
Bryan was giving them hearty well
come and urging them to keep in
touch with the colored brethren
throughout the country, somebody
in the house was frying chicken. A
picnic lunch was served to the visit
ors on the lawn.
Zone of the most important visit
ors was Josephus Daniels, of Raleigh,
N. c., proprietor of the News and
Observer. Z
