r Dr.. w. G. Matchan, whose death at
his home in this city was briefly an
nounced in the Tribune of Wednesday
morning, passed away at atlittle after
2 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Tuesday afternoon he began to sink
rapidly, and although members of his
family and his many friends through
the city had continued to hope that
there might be change for the bet
ter, his condition grew rapidly worse,
and at little after 6 O'Clock he fell
into coma, and remained unconscious
until the end ss.~
r. There was no pain, no suffering for
long hours preceding the final dissol'
ution, when his relatives kept watch
at his bedside for the end that it was
known was inevitable: Death occurr
ed painlessly and easily, like the
slipping away Of child into sleep.
News of the death of DR.. Matchan
was learned with profound regret and
sorrow by the people of the city,
where he had lived and worked for
the past ten years. Few men had
more warm, personal friends. Few are
blessed with such an engaging person
atty, such a cheerful and kind heart
ed optimism, such human sympathy
and fellowship as DR.. Matchan. In
the sick room he was a. comforter:
encouraging with his smile and bless
ing even the misfortune OF illness
with sunshine and sympathy. In his
social relations he was particularly
open, frank, warm hearted and gen
erous. He was devoted to his pro.
fession and conscientious in the per-
Torrance OF his duties. He gave free
~ Of his time, energy and money to
the succor and comfort of needy per
sons, and the warmth and comfort OF
his charity was a blessing in many
places, where there is corresponding
sorrow at his ;untimely decease.
DR.. Matchan's illness dates from
several years ago when the first
symptoms of diabetes manifested
themselves. At that time it was hop
ed that rest, treatment and care might

COUNTY EQUALl'zilERS
COMPLETE THEIR WORK
WORK Of ASSESSORS FOUND TO
= HAVE BEEN BETTER THAN
IN FORMER YEARS.
Unfairness and Equality Adjusted
ssoo,ooo Increase in. Total Assess
ment in, County. =.

The board of county commission
ers, after a two weeks session, ad.
journed Tuesday afternoon until the
next regular meeting. During a.
greater part of the time the board
sat as an equalizing board. They
carefully considered the returns of
the assessors of the various town
ships and relnedied any unfairness
Or inequality that existed. The var
ious changes will appear in the pub
lished official proceedings.
The assessors returns we're great
ly improved over those a year ago.
There is not much increase in the
value of personal property but there
is some $1,000 increase in The to-
tai assessment Of the county.
The tax levy for county purposes
totals about $4,000, which is about
the same as that Of last year. There
will be a reduction of the county tax
next year If the state board leaves
the values about where the county
board has placed the IN. on, a.
The county is in excellent shape
financially, as there is money on hand
to pay all bills and fixed charges I'M
til the new tax levy comes in. There
is absolutely no floating debt and
there is about $4,000 in the sinking
fund which is drawing S per cent in
terest to meet part of the $4,000
worth Of bonds in three years. The
new levy will provide more money
for the sinking fund and when the
first ,installment of bonds come due
they will be paid. None of the
newer counties in the state are in
any better condition financially than
Burleigh, and some Of the older ones
are not in such good condition.
During the session the usual rou-
tine business was disposed of and
considerable road work was looked
after. '>~ =.
Sterling and Naughton townships

The Leather Bottle Inn,

On the Dover road at Northfeet,
just where the old road, down which
David Copperfield trudged on his
weary pilgrimage to Dover, breaks
away on its temporary parting from
what is now the main road, is an old
inn named the Leather Bottle. Over
the door hangs a veritable leather bot
tie. The uninitiated Dickensian is
mOmentarily deceived into the belief
that here is the Leather Bottle of
Pickwick fame, and is disgusted when
he discovers that this is still four
miles farther on. Nevertheless, this
is one of the few real Dickens inns
still remaining. Dickens, when on his
long country tramps, often turned in
there for refreshment, and the chair
he usually occupied is still to be seeL
priceless in the eyes of the host
