Ward County independent:
In the last weeks issue of the In
dependent appeared communication
from constant Reader" in which
exceptions is taken to the 6 per cent
ilarged for expenses. in the seed
grain output by the county commits
sioners last spring. Quite number
of farmers have at this time paid
their seed grain contracts, and in the
amount of every contract is added
the s per cent item. No one has
made any objection except this man,
). Rudolph Haines, who appears to
re in a Gags BY himer.', being the
only one VINO paid under protest
(whatever that means). II Mr. Haines
could be less selfish and more reasou-
able he could admit that the price
paid for the seed he got, was not the
only expense that Ward county had
in procuring his seed; he could admit
that the burden of all expenses
should be placed on those who re-
ceived the benefit He could admit
that it would be unfair to make his
neighbor, who did not get seed from
the county pay part Of the expense
of the procuring of his seed. He
could also admit that the passing Of
the resolution of the board Of county
commissioners adding this per cent
is legal, just and proper business
methods The seed distribution is
not a matter Of charity. 1t is mat.
ter of business and any one who is
placed in such a condition that he
needs to borrow, must expect to pay
for the accommodation Neighboring
counties added more that Ward conn
ty for expenses. Much could be said
against the seed grain distribution
but one thing is sure Ward county as
a creditor is at best loser in the
transa ctiOn.

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS

The delinquent tax list ofunpaid per
sonal property taxes, for the wear 1910,
mas been turned over to me for collec

the sheriff does not send any notices
out to the parties owing taxes, as the
county treasurer has already done that
1t IS to be hoped, however, that all par.
ties owing delinquent taxes will come
in and settle the same at once, and
avoid the additional expense which will
necessarily follow after the deputies
start out, ON November /, 1911, to col
lect the same.

Stronger AeropIanes.

Among the leading French firms
most important advances are to be
found in structural details. There are
not any radical changes in design, but
in the matter of strength, finish and
workmanship there is a world Of diff
ference between the leading makes
of aeroplanes of today and those of
a year ago. An important feature is
the strong tendency shown by some
of the leading makers towards the
use of metal for the framework of
aeroplanes The French Wright bi-
plane, although employing American
spruce for it's running gear and main
traverse members, now has steel
tubes for the stanchions separating
the two main planes. The Voisin
brothers have abolished wood entire
ly. with the exception of the fuselage
receiving the pilots seat, the essen
tial framework being constructed of
steel tubing Bayard-Clement, in their
little Demoiselle, confine the use Of
wood to a portion of the wings. Rob-
ert Esnault- Pelterie, who has now
produced a most pleasing and sue
cessful monoplane, builds it entirely
of steel tube, and there is not an inch
of wood to be found on the Breguet
biplane.-W. F. Bradley, in Casters
Magazine.

Of water over the plant and closed the
window.
But she had closed it too late. Heat
ed from the exertion of sweeping, and
overheated from the huge cook stove,
the cold air had done its work, and
that very night the doctor came and
looked seriously.
I'm afraid you're in for it, Mrs.
McGully," he said, you'll have to keep
to your bed for awhile"

wheezed, stoutly. I've got $40 saved

MAN MARRlES FOUR SISTERS
Weds One After Another as Death
Successfully Removes Them
Has Son by Each Wife.

White Hill, n. ito marry four
sisters is the experience of Harry d.
Philkill, formerly a resident of this
place, who now resides in Baltimore,
Md. He is So years old, and has mar
ried Miss Josephine Conroy seven
years his senior. She is the fourth
bride, and a sister to his three other
wives, now deceased. Philkill declar-
ed after the ceremony, which was
performed by the Rev. s. c. Cutter.
that he felt like a boy of 10.
He was first married 40 years ago,
when he eloped with Miss Marie Con-
roy. He was greatly attached to all
four sisters, and it has been often
said that they were all in love with
him. His first wife was killed in an
accident about six years later. He
afterward married Miss Anna Conroy,
with whom he lived for a dozen years.
She died of heart disease while they
were enjoying a trip to the Pacific
coast.
Mr.. Philkill remained single for
two years, declaring to his friends
that he would never, marry. He did
not keep this resolution, however, as
he again fell in love when he came
here to visit the Conroy family, and
the graves of his wives, who are all
buried in the family plot.
Miss Lillian Conroy was the next
bride He wooed and won her during
this visit and she accompanied him to
Baltimore as a bride. This proved
Philkilrs longest venture in matri-
mony, as the couple lived together for
IS years. At the expiration of that
time Mrs. Philkill died of typhoid
fever. Mr.. Philkill remained single
two years, but Cupid possible believ-
ed that he made too good a husband
to be without wife, the wedding to
Miss Josephine Conroy and the wild
over being the outcome. Mr.. Phil
kill is the father of three boys, one
having been born to each of his three
wives.

to ask for an extra allowance in ar
action which he was so fortunate as
to have been retained in. The court
not discovering anything at all un

about the litigation, inquired of the
Young man: What is here about thi

nary?" That l got It," blandly ant
innocently replied the youthful as

Unfortunate Experiment.

Until a few years ago not a rat was
seen in Cocos. But a ship was
wrecked off the islands and the rats
swan shore. They increased at such
a rate that they became a nuisance
and caused tremendous loss by spoil
ing the buds of the cocoanut, which
are extremely tender. and are spoiled
Immediately anything touches them.
The king of the Cocos islands, there
fore. endeavored to exterminate the
rodents, and at last he imported cats.
But the cats did not do their work at
all. The trouble of catching the rats
was apparently too much for them
and finding a delicious shellfish on the
shores which they liked much better.
they within a short time became large
and wild, and, in fact, a tremendous
nuisance. so much so that now the
islanders have not only the trouble OF
rats, but also of cats.

Protected Her Arrival.
Mrs De Malinowski and her small
son sailed for New York on the Adri-
attic August 10, 1910. Mr.. Wyckoff, be-
ing compelled to wait for the Virgin
ian, cabled to his brother, Clarence f.
Wyckoff, to meet Mrs De Malinowski,
but since the name of the young moth
er did not appear on the passenger
list Mr.. Wyckoff had great difficulty
in finding her. He sought the aid OF
Collector William Loeb, Jr., and met
no less than ten steamers due on the
same day as the Adriatic, or the next.
Mr. Loeb, however had seen to it that
no obstacles should stand in Mrs. De
Malinowski's way, and although MI.
Wyckoff did not meet her at the pier
he did find her just as she was start
ing for her mothers home.
Il have no doubt" Mrs. De MaliR'
owski said yesterday, that the at
tempts to get Leonard away from me
will continue. My husbands family
does not care about me, but they do
want him, and they are as rich as
am poor. The upkeep of Mlynyszce
alone costs them between 100000
and $150,00O a year, and have no
reason to think that they will agree
either to let Caesar come back to me
or to let Leonard stay with me in
peace"
Mr. Wyckoff received a letter not
long ago from De Malinowsk in which
he begged his American friends not
to form an opinion Of the case until
his side had been heard. He did not
say, however, what that side was.
