HOUSES ARE CHEAP
Good Chance fer Anyone With
 Vacant lot

If you want a nice house cheap call and see the buildings on Livery and Hall streets which the city is offering for sale, and then put in bid for the one that suits you to the board of public works next Tues day night. There is money in these houses for people who can take them down and have places to put them. A handy man would not have much trouble In doing the job him. self and in this way get hold of a home at low figure. Unfortunate ly, the number of overhead wires in the streets renders it difficult 10 move buildings from one place to another so that in most cases they are taken down and the material carted away and used for various purposes. Of course the chance of taking them off the lot as they stand depends entirely upon where you might want to place them. If the coast is clear the buyers would ex- perience no trouble in getting a permit from the mayor to move them.

china's Forty Thousand Signs and
 Symbols to PerpIex the Linsuist.
 The language known as Wen-li Is the medium by which the classical books of China have been handed down. It Is par excellence the written language of China, but it is not generally under stood by the great mass of the people. The spoken anguage-namely, Manda- rin-may also be written. and there is good deal of colloquial literature in Mandarin. Versions of the Bible in the local patois have also been produced In several districts of the southwest, where the dialects are very numerous and diverse.
 In the Chinese written language there are over 10000 distinct charac- ters or symbols. and this vast number Is being constantly increased by the addition of new characters to repre- sent new scientific words and modern ideas.
 Although the Chinese are considered literary people and have naturally desire for education. yet owing to the extreme difficulty of mastering the Chinese characters 1t is estimated that only one in ten of the population can read or write.-Contemporary Review.

Limitations of Practice.

Tn an Iowa town an action for eject mcEt was tried by the court without jury" the suit having been brought by a religious society to recover pos session of cemetery. The defendant, physician in active practice. had bought the ground for the use of the society. but when afterward he sev- cred his connection with the organiza- ton it was discovered that he had talk. en the title in his own name and evi. dently intended to hold on to it. After duly weighing the evidence the court ordered judgment for the plaintiff. stating briefly the reasons for the de- clsion, whereupon defendants coun- sel desired to be more fully enlight- ened in the premises.
 Certainly" said his honor. '1n ad- ditlon to what I have already said. there are but two other reasons. One is that the church seems to need a cemetery. and the other is that the doctor has failed to show that his prac- tice is sufficiently large to necessitate his maintaining his own burying ground"

Last nights caucuses gave Lilley eight more delegates and he now claims 312 while 291 are all that are necessary to get the nomina- tion. An impartial newspaper can- vas gives MT Lilley BIO and the Lake forces grant that MT Lilley has PAP. Following is letter from New Hartford to a member of the anti-Lilley club of Winsted. T do sincerely hope that Lilley will be showed under so deep he will never be heard from again. Governor Woodruff is the logical candidate of the party. I have been voter and a republican for the past 46 years; always voted the straight ticket. If MT Lilley is the candi- date of the g. O. D. for governtt I shall vote for Taft presidential electors and for the state demo- cratic ticket from top to bottom. I think that the honest minded men of the Abraham Lincoln school will find ways and means to do Lilley out of the governorship.

One fallacy which the people of the state have been laboring under for some time was overthrown last night when Stiles Judson of Strat- ford was chosen delegate to the state convention and said that af- ter casting complimentary vote for Governor Woodruff he would vote for Mir Lilley for the nomination. For some weeks past it has been published throughout the state that Stiles Judson would nominate Mir Lake in the convention. Last night he said that he never had been for Mir Lake for governor in prefer ence to MT Lilley. The other dele- gate from Stratford is Henry P. Stagg, also a Lilley man.

THE PEACH CANNERY.

Americas is most fortunate to Sc
cure the new canning factory for the
first season when there will be a
large yield of peaches. While the
earlier and more choice peaches will
be shipped to foreign markets, there
will remain thousands of bushels of
over-ripe or slightly under-grade
peaches which would otherwise have
to be practically wasted except for
the canning factory. Many thousands
of dollars will be saved by the pres
ence of this industry, not to mention
the large sums to be ppaid out for la
bor
For the first year the factory will
be profitable both to the growers and
to the company, and for succeeding
years it will become much more
profitable there is every reason
to believe New orchards will come
into bearing, and at the same time
new trees will be set out 1t requires
no very prophetic eye to see Ameri-
Gus the center of a peach industry
which will rival FIT. Valley, or even
surpass it. Its all a question of orch
ards, and if the present large orch

section will receive an impetus of
large proportions.

AMERICUS BONDS NOT TAXABLE

Holders of Americas street paving
bonds-when they are issued-will
not be taxed upon these debentures.
This has been a mooted question in
Georgia, but the question has been
passed upon by the state supreme
court
Exempt from all taxation" can
be stamped upon the face of the
bonds to be issued by Americas. This
course enhances their value beyond
that of an ordinary bond investment,
adding the amount of the state and
county tax on other bonds to the in
terest value of the city bonds.
The Savannah Press, in discussing
the new bonds proposed for that city,
says:
The Supreme Court of Georgia has
decided that city bonds are non-taXable
by state and county.
The case is that of Penick VS.. Fos-
ter, in 129 volume Georgia Reports,
page two hundred and seventeen, and
arose from an effort of the tax collec-
tor to make Foster, executor, pay
taxes on twenty bonds of the city of
Atlanta of one thousand dollars
each.
The court holds that municipal
ity is a mere political subdivision of
the state, and within the limits of its
charter can exercise the powers of
sovereignty, among which is the right
to borrow money for its public uses.
,1r, a,+ 80
IAN instrumentaity of government"
On page two hundred and twenty
three the court says: IF the consti-
tuition, of its own force, requires the
state to collect the taxes upon mu-
nicipal bonds, by parity of reasoning
it requires county or municipality to
collect taxes upon state bonds. If it
does not require a municipality to
collect the taxes on it's own bonds,
then it would not require the state to
collect the taxes upon the bonds of
its municipalities"
On page two hundred and twenty
five the court states it's conclusion as
follows: THE conclusion reached by
us, therefore, is that the municipality,
being mere political subdivision of
the state, to which is delegated GER
tain portion of the powers of govern
ment, a bond issued by it is mere
~ government instrumentality
that it is not taxabl eby the force of
the constitution itself, and, if
taxable at all it is only SO when
the general assembly, either in ex-
press terms or in such language that
no other conclusion can be reached
than that such was the intention of
that body $50 declares.) A NUM-
cipal corporation occupying for many
purposes, the same position as the
state, so far as the taxing of its in
are concerned, is not
