The following is the text of the
bill as IL will be introduced Monday:
"a Blll
"To amend sections 5G49-2 and
5G49-3 OF the General Code. and to
supplement section 5G49-3 by the ad-
dition of two supplementary sections

''Be 1t enacted by the general as
sembly of the state of Ohio:

sire to raise a smaller amount of taxes
for a particular purpose than was
levied for such purpose in the year
1909. the amount of taxes that may
be levied for another or other pur-
poses may be correspondingly in
creased; the intent and purpose Of
this act being to provide that an in
crease in the total valuation OF all

The police are after the pople who
expectorate on the side walks but
seem to overlook the licentious tobac-
co chewers who decorate the flag
stones of Marion in a disgusting FASH
ion. Last night an officer nabbed a
beardless youth possibly 16 years OF
age, who unconsciously had spit
tooth pick from his mouth on the
side walk, and took him to the po'
lice station. The lad was released
after he had promised to appear pe-
fore the mayor this afternoon.
Mrs. Berger of 265 Bellview avenue
reported to the police this morning
that her little son was lost, About
noon the lad was found and returned
to his anxious parent. 1t seems tha'
he wandered from his home and was
strolling about the neighborhood.

buns in the police station last night

The filing of an affidavit with May
or Setter this morning by Mr.. George
Knapp. president Of the Monarch-Re
publican company, for the arrest of
Mr. Elisha b. Durfee, n prominent
lawyer of the city, brought to light a
rather dramatic encounter between
the two gentlemen i'm the law offices
of Scofield and Durfee on north Main
street yesterday afternoon.
MIR. Knapp called at the office to
collect an account of $104, the pay
ment of which Mr.. Durfee was re-
sponsible for, and was received in Il
very gruff manner Mr.. Knapp at
tempted to explain his side of the case
but the explanation seemed to infuri-
ate Mr.. Durfee who considered him
self highly insulted. He ordered Mr.
Knapp from the room.
Evidently. Mr.. Knapp did not move
with sufficient speed to satisfy Mr.
Durfee's state of mind at that mo-
ment. for he decided to assist him
Taking hold Of Mr.. Knapp he showed
him violently toward the door and
struck him on the back with his fists.
As Mr. Knapp passed through the
door. Mr.. Durfee essayed a kick at
him but the foot fell short of its mark
by a few inches. Mr.. Knapp offered
no resistance to the furious attack
but seeks redress by filing an affidavit
for warrant for the arrest of MI
Durfee. charging him with assault
and battery.
Mr. Durfee will be arrested this aft
ernoon.

STUCK NAIL IN
 KNEE AND DIED

Harvey, Ark, June 10, 1911. Mississippi Valley Life Ins. Co.,,
 Little Rock, Ark, Dear Sirs:
 have just received your check for $2014. 68, as settlement on your Policy No. 732, which was taken out by my husband some. thing over a year ago.
 He fell from barn loft short while back and stuck a nail in his knee and died from Blood Poisoning a few days later, and 1 can now better see the wise precautions he took during his lifetime to provide for his family in event of his death.
 His death was sudden result ing from accidental causes, and l wish that it were in s my power to better express my apprecia- tion of merits of your good Con- pany and in the prompt payment of this policy, as 1 received the check within very few days af- ter the proof was sent in.
 Without the provisions by my husband, in thus protecting me and his children, life would have , beena gloomy struggle, but he always endeavored to protect us in such way that should he be suddenly taken away from us, as he has, that he could leave a protective fund for us, and we feel that he could not have done better than he did in insuring with your good Company. May success and good fortune follow the Mississippi Valley Life Insurance Company.
 Sincerely,
 Nola Monroe.

HAULING Big
TIMBERS TO THE

MODERN METHODS WILL SAVE
MUCH TIME AND LUMBER
IN MINING.

The local railroad has been en-
ploying double-headers to haul the
timber to the Comstock that is be-
ing used in the mines. 1t has a
pretty good sound and makes a
noise like business.
The time was when this section
of Nevada furnished all the timber
for the old Comstock. Forests were
destroyed that the mines might have
the support of timber. The bowels
of old Mt. Davidson are filled with
thousands of acres of forests that
went underground. Several million
aires were made from denuding tn
forests, and the timber that was
buried, for the most part, rotted
in the ground. 1t is true that vast
fortunes were taken from the Slopes
that the timbers supported, and
when they were left the forests de-
cayed below the surface of mother
earth.

go down Carson river will never
