FIGHT ON DEATH DAMAGE
 SOON TO COME UP
tContinued from First Page

these members and has held up the bill for weeks in the hope of finding some way to protect these towns such that it could come in and defend the report, but none has been found and the measure has finally been brought in to take it's chances. At one time it was lost. but it has finally turned up.
 Now that the House has passed the bill concerning the taxation of land taken by municipalities for waters supply in such form that not only the land, but the structures on 1t, are taxable at what eyer rate of valuation the town officials may see fit to put on it, the cities are in fine stew over the subject. In the form passed by the House this would give the towns right to tax dams and gate houses and other structures, and the municipalities may very readily have to pay taxes on the real value of these properties. Just why they shouldn't is very hard to see, but they propose to defeat the bill in the Senate if possible. It is an old friend to those of more than one sessions legislative experience.
 Tomorrow the house will wrestle with the woman suffrage problem in its relation to municipal elections. The Senate voted to give the women munich pal suffrage and depends on the House to reject it. The House took its turn in rejecting it two years ago and may not feel that it is being properly treated for the Senate to thrust it into such an uncomfortable position now. 1 don't suppose the House will pass it, but two things are certain: no one can tell what this House will do about anything and it will do nothing about any matter which can be talked about until it has talked about it-ad nauseam.

Live Coal That Did Not Burn.

An uncanny story of the notorious spiritualist, Home, is told by Miss D. Katharine Bates in ''The Psychic Realm" "A dear old friend of mine,' she says, ''who knew Home we'll in old days is one of the few living wit nesses of his celebrated fire expert ments, for she bravely allowed him to put a large lump of live coal on her head, protected only by soft tulle cap. Her daughter, sitting close to her at the time, stretched out her hand with natural instinct of fear for her mothers safety, and she was slightly burned, but my friend suffered no in- convenience at all, although the live coal had been picked out from the very center of hot fire"

Several thrilling incidents occurred
during a fire on the steamer navinia,
which broke out the other afternoon
while the vessel was high and dry
upon a pontoon at Sunderland, Eng

They were in grave danger of being
suffocated or burned to death. 'pPat-

pumped air through the port holes.
and bravely stuck to their task for
over an hour, despite showers of wa
ter from the fire engines, which
drenched them and threatened to
swep them off the gangway into the
ri. er below. Meanwhile a gang of
men were working desperately to cut
out heavy steel plate half an inch
thick in the bulkhead. After an hours
strenuous labor the plate gave way,
and the two prisoners were released,
apparently little the worse for their
thrilling experience. Thousands OF
people watched the rescue operations
from bridge 100 feet above.

PASTURE SUFFERED
Wheat Said To Be Injured, Small
Glover Killed and Oats Check
ed In Growth-An Rejoice
Over Showers.

The rain of Monday brought an
end to the dry spell which was be-
coming serious for many of the
crops in this county. At a number
of points in the country rains had
fallen before this and put the crops
in better condition, but this vicinity
was not relieved until Monday.
The pasture especially and the
hay crop have suffered from the
dryness and the latter will In all
probability be cut short. The wheat
has also been much affected, many
pieces having begun to turn yellow.
The supposed injury may, however,
not prove as bad as is expected.
Small clover, sowed this spring, has
in some places been killed. All
garden stuff has been held back and
made less luscious than it would
have been. The rain was good
one, however, and all are rejoicing
over it.
