We sincerely hope that the city will not permit this new law to fce simply a dead letter on the town books. But first of all and most important of all the people should give their hearty coperation in carrying out the provisions of the law and the regulations. They are all meant for the good of the people of the community, and the pity is that it should be necessary to adopt regulations which the common sense of the citizen should suggest as the proper thing to do. All laws should be the embodiment of common sense. It would seem to us that a levy of 14 mills lor state purposes ana a two mills for state roads and a 3 mills for schools, not to speak of the county levy and the special school 'and the j other special purposes is laying on the 1 load pretty heavy even in these pros- i perous times. An appropriation bill nearly twice what the bill was the year before made it necessary to have such a big levy. And yet the legisla-; ture keeps on proposing new departments and new schemes of supervision until after awhile there will be ? . no one left for the supervisors to supervise. I j But the big items in the appropriation bill are for what the members are pleased to call constructive legis lation and many new buildings are proposed. It would seem to the ordinary mind that this was a rather bad time to project new buildings and that some of the new buildings could ; have waited until the times became; more normal without detriment to the i public service. With increased assessments and i other sources of income a 14-mill j. levy is going to be a stunner for the j people who think that their, taxes are j now rather heavy. - L And then another thing when the j normal state is reached and the slump > in prices does come, as it surely will, j - - i i ? iii* i i it is going to oe nara to gee tms levy : to come down in proportion, and then ! there will be kicking in the old land ' s and the agitator will have his inning. [ A seven million dollar appropria- j tion bill. It is hard to realize and to ' comprehend the figures and the mean-1 j ing of it in this state with only $400,-; 000,000 assessed property. And the ' salaries of the state officers are not raised to the point where they can liven on the pay. The money is going ; elsewhere. This may be a god time ; to spend ail this money for building < and for constructive work, but it. seems to us that the legislature is hoeing most too wide a row in this j j, 1IC1U. But this is the voar of reckoning! with the people and maybe the boys can explain it all satisfactorily to their constiuents. If so well and good, but it will be up to them to tell the people about it. ! City council has named the bond commission as required under the act creating a commission to handle all the bonds of the city. This is a good law from many viewpoints. It places the bonds of the city in the hands of one commission so that at any time i the information as to the bond in-: debtedness may be ascertained and ascertained correctly, and besides it | insures the application of money raised and taxes levied for the pay- j ment of the bonds to the bonds of j the town. Council has named a good commission of good business men and financiers who will handle the busi-; ness properly and in a business like; manner. ? In Memory of Oliie. Yesterday life went well, hope was in th eascenctant, it was easy to be j x m 1. .it? _i / moment, loaay aii is reversed, lor m : so short a while OHie was taken from u. She was taken suddenly with ' c !.,<*estion on the aft moon of the ' first day of February. r.nd en the of the 2nd day her spirit had tied She bore hei suffernig with nnusu.?; patience, and though her pain was intense she bore it without a murmur,; "V and talked intelligently until a short j while before the end. Ollie was butj 1 twelve years of age, while her stay I P on earth was short she implanted in j C our hearts a love the grave can never. hide. Truly she died as she had lived as brave as a soldier on the j battle field, for hers was a brave un- i faltering life, one full of perfect | sympathy for all whom she met. j I The heart can scarcely lift itself, ! ^ until I think of the sweet joyous life . she lived, unsullied by sin, then we ! 10 count our sorrow as naught compared ' j with the rich reward she now enjoys I ^ l in that home of perpetual happiness, j ^ | we can see her now doing for others. J ^ ; She took delight in forgetting self j ^ and helping others, seems to me I can | ^ , see her now playing with and caring for little children for she loved them so. Though with earthly aspirations i smitten the soul is still able to say i "Thy will not mine be done." The j world is richer that she lived here for . : awhile and while the winds of death J r i scattered the blossoms of our hope, , the blossoms fall that fruit may j c iappeare, hope then is the good angel j j that triumphs over sorrow, ind the j. ' unexpressed prayer that flys on angels i wings to the throne of God and re- ^ ; turns to inspire to nobler effort. The \ i gloom that broods over us now but shows us that she has missed much of ? life's hard lessons. But when we x ? ? . % * % i*ii i think ot tne piace sne miea m ouri hearts and home, we find ourselves i < j V I asking why! oh why! did God take j ! away our jewel? And we are so lonejly without her. Then the thought 'comes has he not a right to claim his own jewels to shine for him. And ( ; heaven seems nearer that she is there, ' and were it not for' hope of seeing j | Ollie again we would give up in des- s I pair, and in this dark hour we feel g } A?ia ne efill onrl ic : laai. one is uuc vx uo dwn unu >? j ^hovering near though hidden from t view, and some day the clouds will r , be lifted and her love be ours once c I more, for Ollie lives on and loves on. ] | t In ihee love lived its happy useful j day, Oh little Ollie, Love fashioned thee of sturdy stuff, j o Love kept thee sweet and clean, ?.

London?A bay horse with a ;loven foot is exciting much interest at the world's fair here. The1 lorse is the offspring of a sire itallion and a Welsh mare, and it is: iuggested that his two toes indicate,' i reversion to his prehistoric ances- j ors. Prehistoric horses had three or 1 nore toes on each foot.
