ASSESSORS AT WORK
STARTED TO LIST PROPERTY ON LAST
MONDAY.

On last Monday our County As
SCISSOR and his assistants begun the
work of assessing the property in
Mason county.
When making their assessments
on property the assessors will, as re-
quired by law, collect the capitation
tax of 81 laid against every male of
the age of twenty-one years or over,
and will be more strict this year
than they were in 1909. This tax
must be collected by the assessor at
the time he is making his rounds,
and in cuse of his failure to do so
the bills are turned over to the sheriff,
who then collects the amount with
interest.
The money from this source of
taxation is turned over to the general
school fund of the state, which, add
ed to the levy for school purposes
laid by the state, although fixed by
state board of public works, and af-
ter the expenses of the state school
department is deducted, distributed
around the various counties according
to population.

is TAKING POISON FOR TUBERCULOSIS.

Rochester, n. Y. Jan. 5.-Henry
Hoefner, retired druggist, who has
been taking crotalin, or rattlesnake
venom for an advanced case of tuber-
culosis completed his one hundredth
dose of one-fftieth of a grain of the
venom and today went after a fresh
supply. He was greatly improved in
appearance, his cough was much
lighter and he said that when he
coughed it didn't hurt him as it did
before commencing the treatment.
He was also much stronger. He is
now sanguine that his cure will be
effected.
After securing an additional supply
of the venom,a "a portion of which is to
be sent to friend who is also suffer
ing from tuberculosis, Mr.. Hoefner
said:
Il shall take doses of one twenty
fifth of a grain from now on, and
shall also prepare the medicine in a
different way. What l have been
taking was absorbed in sugar of milk
and divided into powders. l find
that poison is likely to deteriorate
when exposed to the air, so ! shall
prepare the doses with guiacol. l
feel certain that the treatment of in
cipient cases with crotalin will give
marvellous results.

EPOCH.
IN HIGH PRICES MARKED BY ARRIVAL OF
50 HOG ON CHICAGO MARKET.

Chicago, Jan. lo.-The 80 hog ar
rived today at the Union Stock yards
here and his coming marked an
epoch in high prices for hogs. With
the exception of a short period in
1889, when swine sold at 1886 per
hundred weight, the 50 hog has not
been seen here since the civil war.
Continued intense cold, impending
transportation, and an apparent hes
itation of producers to market their
hogs, are the primal causes of the
abnormal advance.

MOSES As A JOURNALIST.

Kansas City, Jan. addressing
the Ministers Alliance of Kansas on
"The Faith of Journalist, . Walter
Williams, dean of the School of Jour
nalism at Missouri University, spoke
of the similarity of the Bible to the
modern newspaper.
THE best journalist with whose
work l am acquainted" said Mr..
Williams, was Moses. He was the
first great editor. You plead for the
publication of only the good and the
good and the beautiful in your favor
lite daily newspaper. 1t was an ear
lier people, not wiser one, who
cried: PrOphesy unto US smooth
things.
"ln one of the five books Moses
edited the great editor gave more
criminal news, and that more graphi-
cally, than to-day's newspapers
would dare-for example, the reports
of the disobedience of Adam, the
drunkenness of Noah, the falsehOods
of Abraham and the iniquity of the
city of Sodom. ="
