Boston (Special). - Mrs. Mary
Baker G. Eddy, founder and head Of
the Christian Science Church, is dead
of pneumonia.

Saturday night in her mansion at
Chestnut Hill, but the news of her
death was suppressed until Sunday
morning, when an official announce

chairman of the Christian Science
Publication Committee.
She died while asleep, and the
only physician who has seen her
body, DR.. George L. West, medical
examiner, says that she did not suf-
fer any pain.
Gathered about her bedside when
the end came were six followers of
her religion-men and women who
had been her companions for years.
A few minutes before the life cord
gently snapped she talked with them.
She told them that she was tired.
but felt no pain, and said nothing to
indicate that she realized that death
was near.
For nine days Mrs. Eddy had been
i'll, but faith in the doctrine which
she has preached to millions in every
part of the globe kept from her the
knowledge that an illness had come
which prayer could not heal.
Day after day she became worse,
but she kept bravely at her duties.
and two days before her death took
her daily drive through the wooded
country about Chestnut Hill, which
she loved so we'll.

Auditor Allen Computes the
Raise on Real Estate.
Marion County's Report is Completed
And Ready to be Sent TO the state
Tax Commission.

County Auditor Z. l.. Allen, has
completed the figuring of the new
valuations on real estate In Marion
township. The board of review for
the county added different percents TO
the values returned by the quadren-
Mai appraisers for this township, the
increase ranging from 100 to $50 pei
cent. The increase was made accord
ing to the proximity of the land To
the city. This increase was made by
sections, and at the time the report
of the board of review was made
Il was possible only to estimate the
raise which would be made In TINS
township. This estimate was placed
at s850,O00 but the figures show TINS
TO have been Just $65.34O too high
The exact boost which was made
in Marion township is $7S4,6GO.
The entire report for the city anG
county was completed today and this
evening will be forwarded to the state
tax commission at Columbus. This
commission has the power to make
a., increase or decrease In the valua
ti,ns but considering the large per-
cents which have been added by the
city and county boards of review,
1t is hardly probable that any in
crease will be made by the tax COM
mission.
