more deaths than were reported for
the same cause in 1906. The death
rate for this disease rose from 70. 8
per 100000 population in 1906 to

The large cities with high death

5000 FOR AN INKSTAND.
Retiring Vice-President Took With
Him Beautiful Desk Ornament.

When he left office Vice-President
Fairbanks took with him the beauti-
full inkstand which has ornamented
his desk for the past four years.
This inkstand has been the subject
of considerable interest because of
the published stories that it had cost
$500. According to custom the pre-
siding officer of the senate is privi-
legged to design and have manufact-
ured such ornamental ink recepta-
lcle as he fancies, and the one pro-
cured by Mr.. Fairbanks was made
by a manufacturing jeweler of New
York. The criticism of the reputed
cost of this stand has ranked in Mr..
Fairbanks heart for four years, and
he has sent to Secretary Bennett a
check for 5000, which was the actual
cost Of the ornament, and announced
that he would take it with him.

resented Mr.. Duce's interference in
a bOisterOus manner. Mr.. Duce
then went to his house and secured
his shot gun and on returning found
the negro still in a fighting notion,
and as he came towards him with
an open knife shot him twice.

County Clerk Makes Appor.
tiOnment.
Most Of the Towns are COM
pelied to pay More Than
Last Year.

During the past week, the
County Clerks Office has certi-
fed the apportionment of the
State and county taxes to the
different towns in the county
The apportionment this year is
somewhat larger for each town
This is due largely to the IN
crease in the state tax and also
to the increase in the county
levy. The levy this year is
about ten thousand dollars high
er than it was last year and the
aggregate of the equalization Of
the property of the county is
practically the same as last year,
which means that the amount to
be paid by each town will be
larger. In the case Of the city,
there is a great difference in the
amount that will be paid to the
county. At the last meeting of
the county board the 1908 tax on
the elevator which amounted to
$28OO.O0 was cancelled and or
dered charged back to the city,
as being an illegal tax. There is
difference of opinion on this
subject, most of those who know
about the tax matters are firmly
of the opinion that the tax was
legal in the first place and that
the county board had no right to
cancell it. However the charg-
ing back of this item and the
proportionate increase in the
general tax. makes the city share
$33o1.75 higher tEan it was last
year. The apportionment of the
taxes among the towns of the
county is as follows:
