Fighting in Carpathiars


 Fighting in Carpathians
 In the Carpathians and in Bulk owina hard fighting is going on. The Rus sians, with a strong force, are making desperate efforts to drive the Austrians from Dukla and other passes and, al : though the snow lies deep in the noun taips, the battles continue night and day.
 !. Along the western front, so far as official reports disclose, this has been one of the quietest days for weeks The artillery, of course, has been busy but as if by mutual consent the armies have refrained from infantry attacks
 There has been no further fighting in Egypt but statements from Turkish Prisoners show the Turks brought i great number of boats across the desert drawn by oxen. They were somewhat surprised to find a strong force await ing them and were compelled 10 sur render when troops got behind them and hemmed them in. In some cases the Turks were allowed to launch their boats before The British opened fire and sank them.
 Earl Grey, addressing meeting to- day, said that War Secretary Kitchener in August asked him to appeal to the miners of Northumberland for five new battalions. Instead they raised 20 bat talions.

Montgomery, February S-(Special) Creation of a state revenue commission, boards of appraisement for each county and the abolition of the state tax com mission, the state board of assessment and county tax commissioners, are con templated in a measure prepared by the Tax Reform League of Alabama, which will be considered at the present legis- lative session.
 The measure provides that the state revenue commission, which is proposed in lieu of the state tax commission, shall consist of a chairman, to be appointed by the governor the secretary of state, auditor and trea surer The commission must keep it's office at the state cape itol.
 The board of appraisement in each county must under the provisions of the bill, consist of three freeholders. The first freeholder must be appointed by the present court of county commissioners the second by the governor. with the approval of the state revenue commits sion, and the third by the first two mem bers.
 The measure provides that "as soon as practicable after the board of appraise- ment shall have been commissioned, they shall begin the valuation and equaliza- tion of the real property in the county in which they are appointed for the as- sessment for taxes to be levied thereon

Bull ser, president pro tempore of that body And the Governor Smiled Therefore there seems to be good req sor why the governor, on retiring from his office this afternoon. smiled. In the first place. he was morally cer- tain that ne had endeavored to do for the state those things which he had prom ised the people he would attempt. He knew that if he failed, the blame would not be justly lodged next his door. In the second place. he was reasonably certain that the legislature would not adhere to it's so-called agreement, that is the wholesale abolition of offices and reduction ad absurdum of the operating expenses of the government. L. In the third place, he has been made to believe that the legislature after all, will attempt to do something. So he smiled despite the fact that the 1 legislature will adjourn when 1t original | ly planned to adjourn, at the conclusion of the twentieth working day, which will be Saturday week.

Officer c. A. Harper.
THE conducting OF a restaurant is
certainly q work of necessity, and it
has been held that the furnishing OF
meals to the public is not in violar

opinion. I'm a recent opinion by this
department it was held that saloon
which was open On Sunday for tho
purpose Of selling soft drinks, OF
non-intoxicants, was not in violation
of section 1854 of the statutes, but in
violation Of section 4595. To have
a saloon or building open for the

therein, when no intoxicating liquors
or soft drinks are sold, is not a vio=

An attempt will be made by the fair
board to have the string" released
from the appropriation of $250,0Oe,
made by the last legislature. That
body gave $250,000 to the fair with the
provis0 that Milwaukee county should
purchase a piece of land for the fair.
Many improvements are needed be-
fore another fair comes around, the
principal item being for the compile,
ton of the concrete grandstand to re-
place the section destroyed by fire
last summer.
New poultry barns are needed and
probably a building for housing the
woman's work department. The cattle
barns and hog and sheep sheds have
proven too small for the last two
years and the board feels that addi-
tons should be provided for these de-
partments in the near future.
