Some of the 'squires in rustic New
Jersey seem to be pretty hard pushed
for cash. To get the cash they do not
hesitate to use most unusual methods.

marry couples at any time, day or

he was willing to accept 81 in cash

Their Statements Do Not Aqree

Because of q marked discrepancy
between stat ements submitted to the
assessor and returns made to the forest
reserve officials, the Board Of Equaliz;.-
ton placed 1890 head Of sheep and
2542 head of cattle on the assessment
roll yesterday. =
AS u result the assessment of twenty
two sheep and cattle men we're in
creased $51, 900 on sheep and $46, $40 on
cattle. Only small part of the assess
ment roll has been examined and it is
expected that the increase in the valua-
tion of cattle and sheep in the county
will he much larger. White Pine
News. !
1t is within the range of possibilities
that the same conditions exist in Ellxo
county and it might be well for our
equalizers to look up the statements of
cattle and sheep men filed with the
forest reserve officials, when making
applications for grazing permits on the
forest reserves.

AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE

The death of Governor Johnson of
Minnesota has called forth tributes to
his life and character from editors I'LL
over the country. All speak of him i'm
words of praise and regard his death us
"a national loss. But of all the tributes.
We have seen, the following from the
pen of Judge G. G.. Goodwin, editor of
true:
"The death of Governor John A.
Johnson of Minnesota removes master
ful figure from view. In some regards
in his brief life he made IA wonderful
record. He was born and reared in as
much squalor as was Abraham Lincoln:
he had no advantages in childhood, and
still in the twenty seven years since he
reached his ma jOrtv he had baan three
times governor of a great state and
candidate for president and with every
prospect of being the next presidential
candidate of his party.
''In all his career there was never
anything Spactacular he never played
To the galleries. He depended on moth
ing but merit, and yet he arose from
utter obscurity to great glory and his
friends believe that the greatest was
behind. There will be sorrow all over
the United States at his death In
Minnesota his death will come like a
personal loss To all the people. and one
fact that will accentuate their grief
will be that they had not the chanc>.
to see him chief magistrate in this
republic.
1t is hard to analyzs his power He
WIS plain in appearance. without cul
ture; he was not aggressive. and yet
he made his way. His parents were
Swedes and what he did scanned to bs
like the deods OF Ericsson, accomplished
by sheer force of mind and integrity Of
heart. He was Il pl Lin. con- In min;
any one could approach him. AS gov
ernor any one could appeal to him; he
had time to listen to all, and he had
the integrity to do what he believed to
be right, whether it su;sod friends or
foes did not seem to matter to him.
1T will be with ealing sorrow
that his neighbors in Minnesota will
gather about his bier, AMI to them and
to their children his grave will always
b, sacred place. e..

TARIFF BILL STIR IN SENATE.
McLaurin Tells Alarich He Need Not Be
come Excited.

Washington, April 24.--The reading Of
the tariff bill being resumed in the SEN
ate yesterday, numerous requests were
made on the part Of both Republicans
and Democrats for the passing over Of
various schedules, although an agree
ment had previously been made that
such action was not necessary in order
to permit senator to enter and obtain
4 vote on any amendment Nearly every
senator, both Of the majority and minor
ity parties. was in his place, and every
one followed the reading Of the bin with
interest
Senator 8IcLaurin Of Mississippi, re-
questing that various schedules under
The head Of agriculture be passed over,
Senator Aidrich asked whether be did
not wish to make a similar request in
respect to rice, the duty on which the
finance committee had allowed to stand
az 2 cents per pound as passed by the
House.
Mr. McIsaurin said he had not re-
ferred TO that paragraph because no
change had been made in IL, $50" he
added, there is nothing at which the
gentleman can allow his risibles to rise
There Is nothing under the agrieul-
taral schedules that is so high as ths
duty on rice" suggested Mr. Aldrich
@Stil, we might amend the schedule"
said Mr. McCumbeF, smiling.
'Let 1t be passed" interposed Senator
Gallinger with significant glance
toward the Democratic side.
The secretary Of commerce and labor
Is directed to prepare table showing
duties imposed by the United States,
Germany and France on pottery, glass,
paper, wooden, cotton, sugar, grain, flour,
iron ore, and other schedules Of the

Two Out Of Three Bout in
Barre Last Night
GOTCH GOT ONE ON AF0UL
He was No Match for the swede on
Catch-as-catch-can, and Hansen Was
Disqualified in GrecO-Roman
Style.

Fritz Hansen Of Worcester. Mass, the
welter-weight champion cateh-as-eatch-
can wrestler Of the world, defeated
Young cotch Of Buffalo two out Of three
falls in mixed wrestle at the opera
house last evening. Hansen easily won
the two catch-as-cateh,ean falls and the
Greco Roman bout was awarded to Gotch
on foul Hansen apparently was I'M
used to the Greco Roman style Of
wrestling, in which the leg holds are
barred, as he repeatedly got his legs
into the game after be had been warned
BY Referee Bourbon, who was finally
forced to stop the bout and award a
fall to Gotch after they had been wres-
Ting SO minutes and 45 seconds.
According to the terms Of the match,
the man getting the quickest fall out Of
the catch as catch-ean or Greco Roman
bouts had the choosing Of the third and
last bout. Hansen won the first fall,
which was eateh-as-eatch.e style. in
Is minutes and % seconds, thereby Civ
ing him the choice Of the third bout,
which he won in 10 minutes and 30
seconds
A preliminary bout was pulled off first
between two local amateurs. Louis
Jacques and Charles Bixby, which was
decided draw after they had wrestled
the ten minutes allotted them without
fall.
The minute Hansen and Gotch step
ped to the mat II was evident that Gotch
was fighting against great odds, as il
was plain that Hansen was heavier and
stronger than the New Yorker A good
deal Of the time Of the first bout was
taken up BY The wrestlers on their feet
sparring for an advantageous hold and
Gotch working on the defensive good
share Of the time, attempting to hold off
the fall as long as possible in order 60
give himself better chance to get al
fall IN the Greco Roman style in the
shortest time. AT The end Of Is minutes
and 20 seconds, however, the swede got
fatal toe and head scissors and pinned
his adversary to the mat.
The next bout was Greco Roman, IN
which STYLE Of wrestling Gotch claims
to never have been beaten BY man Of
his weight. Hansen seemed to lack
knowledge 81 the rules Of this kind Of
wrestling and had to be warned by The
referee continually to keep his legs out
OF it. This he seemed unable to do and
after they had wrestled So minutes and
Gotch had apparently made but little
Roadway towards getting fall on Han
sen, the latter again got his legs around
Gotch and the referee was obliged to
stop the bout and award esoteh q fall.
In the last bout, though having hard
up hin fight, Gotch came back looking
as fresh as at the start and put up
scrappy exhibition against his Big adver-
sary, wriggling and swapping out Of hold
after hold in q manner that won en-
thusiastie applause from the $50 spec
tators present But the toe hold and
head Scissors again brought him down
