Dent County Press: prosecuting
Attorney MCGEE has scored another
victory for local option. A few days
ago he filed an injunction suit against
the railroad and express company to
enjoin them from delivering intoxi-
eating liquor to persons in this coun-
ty: in view of the fact that this is a
new procedure great deal Of interest
was taken in the case; on last Thurs
day this case was tried in circuit
court and as a result Judge Woodside
sustainedth injunction. 1t was shown
In testimony that persons ordering
liquor for unlawful proposes have the
same sent to them in the names Of
fiictitions persons and in ARE of dray-
men, who go to the depot, get the
liquor and deliver 1t the person MS orr

from the officers the fact that they
are in fact receiving liquors to sell.
The Injunction as granted will stop
this kind Of business and restrains

from delivering to any person other

Anthrax Father of All Germs.

The anthrax germ is the father Of
all germs since it was the first discov-
cred by the weak microscopes of half
a century ago. That was because the
germ was SO big, The microscopes
could not show the smaller germs. 1t
was the anthrax germ, therefore, that
led to the development of the microbe
theory which caused such an advance
in medicine.

 Doscs Jail Scntcnccs-Other Matters

Torty-four protests against the work of the assessors in compiling the grand list of 1915 were filed with the board of relief during the past three weeks according to the chair man. A. H. CondeI. The board held it's final public session yesterday afternoon and during the comn" week will consider the numerous ap- peals received from the taxpayers. While the members of course do not know just what action will be taken they have indicated that in all prob ability the report of the assessors will not be disturbed to any great extent.
 Practically all the complaints co1- cerned either slight errors or dissut iSfaction with the new valuation of building lots as determined by tho assessors. This year the board placeu the valuation of land on the grand list from an estimate made on a front-foot basis This method they believed, would enable them to euualize the assessments and would give the property owners a better chance for comparisons with other places on their streets
 In d mum per or instances COln~ paints were made because the asses. sors raised the value of property on which a boost had been given a year ago. The owners could not under stand why they should be burdenCG with another raise. This action has been explained by the efforts of the assessors to satisfy the state board of equalization. That body had add ed several thousand dollars to the grand list total and while the as sesSors could see no justification fol 8 general increase to make their re port compare with ftat of Com. Con bin and his associates they had tc make some changes to get list LII as high as they regarded practicable
 Members of the relief board declare that the PlainVille assessors nave a better arranged report than can bf found in many places in the state Even in the cities they declare thu separation of taxable property is no as near complete on the books.
 The relief board seemingly is faIrlN well satisfied with the report and lt l$ not believed that many of the appc1' '' will be granted although slight re Uuctions in cases where errors were shown will probably he made

Citizens Vote to Empower the Select men to Borrow $S.0OO-D. A. R. Observes Washington's Birthday Literary Society Mects-Briefs.

Only a corporaTs guard attended the special town meeting held last night. The meeting was called by the selectmen, who wished to be em- powered to borrow a sum not to eX- 1ceed $S,000 for the payment of the towns share of the new Turnpike bridge and the new East Berlin road First Selectman William II. Gibney called the meeting to order shortly after o'clock. George Sullivan of Kensington was unanimously chosen to fill the position of chairman. Town Clerk Francis H. Shaw read the call of the meeting. The chairman called for remarks and Selectman Gibney said: At the annual town meeting the se1ectmen were empower ed to borrow 5000 to pay town ex- penses. until the taxes for the present year were collected A sum was voted for the projects under discus sion, but because of the payments of other bills coming due, it was neces sary to divert the sum to their pay rlent. The school board paid old tuition bills and it was necessary to pay state, military and county taxes, which became due and have been paid. If the town does not pay it's share of the bridge and road bills the state charges nine per cent. interest and the board thought it would be bgtter to obtain the money from q. bank, as the rate would only be five per cent. The bills were not nre- Sented at the regular town meet;p or because the work had not been finished"
 Town Clerk Shaw said "The board of finance estimated that the town would receive 5000 in back taxes lat as a matter of fact, the town has never received more than $50 year on the overdue list. Ex-Tax Collector Seibert has turned in small sum-"
 Regarding the old tax books held by former collectors, which were or s dered turned over to the present tax collector, Charles F. Lewis, MT. Gib- ney said he had made demand on Former Collector F. F. Austin for tTease in his possession and expected ; to have them ready for the auditors. Atwater and Sullivan in a few days.
 c. F. Lewis said: "There has been a misunderstanding about the back 'taxes. If I collect all taxes due since raateIy S10,00O.
 Chairman Sullivan said: There is mo question but we must have the raoney and it would be better policy to get it from the banks than to pay the state nine per cent"
