"I feel it is my duty to let you know that
your medicines have cured my little girl of

at the age of three. Our family doctor said
sbe would outgrow thetn but she did not.
\Ve took her to another physician who said
her trouble was epileptic fits in a mild form.
He did her no coed cither. She was so
nervous she coulu hardly walk. As I had
already Used Dr. Miles' Nervine and found
it a good remedy for myself I commenced
giving it So niy child. I gave her in a I ten
Dottles of the Nervine and ore of the Blood
Purifier. That was over two years ago and
she has not had an s t'.ae.k since we commenced
the treatment. She is no longer
troubled with nervousness and we consider
her permanently cured. I enclose her picture.

THE TAX LAW PROBLEM.
County Auditor Cook Shows Why
Assessm- ill^ Should ho .Hade
Not by the Tax payer
llimsell.
Cor. News and Courier.
Lancaster, Jan 31 ?The hill
for revising the tax laws of the
State is attracting some attention
here, as well as elsewhere
The consensus of opinion here
I is that the proposed changes do
not promise much, if any, improvement
in the present laws
Among those with whom your
correspondent has discussed the
matter is County Auditor Cook,
who is one of the most intelli
gent and etticient public officials
in the State Though a young
man lie has had several years'
experience as county auditor,
and having been raised on a
farm, and being a succesful
farmer himself, he is well
equipped to look at this troublesome
tax and assessment
business from both sides?that
is to say, from the standpoint
pf a farmer and taxpayer and
as a public official, whose duty
it is to see that all property is
properly assessed for taxation.
In the interview your correspondent
had with him Mr
Cook said : "Yes 1 have read
the general tax bill as reported
by the ways and means committee,
and in my judgment, it
should be amended in several
important prrticulars, especial
ly in the matter of taking the
tflvn.iirpi'a rohirna Tn rrr\* of
' ** ? WI u ? v v V* I ?*" < V K < > V
the actual valuation of property
It would be much better to have
appointed for that purpose
three of the best business men
?land owners?in each township,
and provide them with the
hooks, as mentioned, for the
Comptroller (leneral to furnish.
And let the three men so appointed
cjo on every taxpayer's
/
farm in thoir territory, and, in
the presence of the owner, assess
his lands, buildings, and
personal property then and
there. The chairman of each
township board should be a
member of the county board of
equalization Tho duty of the
latter beard should be to hear
grievances of taxpayers assessed
by the township boards.
"Where the county board of
equalization approves tho as
sessments made by the township
assessors such board should turn
same over to the county auditor,
in order that he may thereby
make up his duplicates and cal
culate the taxes from the assess
meuts made by the townships
assessors and approved by the
county board
"I am confident that tho bill
as reported will not give satisfaction.
It requires, for instance,
that the township as
sessors shall meet with the county
auditor at certain places in
the township and assess a man's
property that neither the audi
tor nor the board of assessors
has ever seen. For example :
A has a very poor sand hill farm
e i i ? i
ui uik- miliaria acres, nor actually
worth more than three dollars
on acre, and he has a 'rip'
of a mule worth about twentyfive
dollars Never having seen
the land nor the mule, would it
be right for the township assessors
to assess such land at
six dollars tin acre and such
mule at seventy-five dollars?
Now as to the assessment of
property in the month of August
and September, 1 do not see how
auditors could attend to such
work at that time of the ye^r.
During those two months auditors
are very busy calculating the
taxes and making up the dupli
rates for the treasurers to collect
the taxes by.
ult is clear to my mind that if
we are to have anything like
equality in assessment and taxa
tion that the Legislature will
have to provide, as 1 have suggested,
tor the appointment of
mree men in each township,
whoso duty it shall ho to visit in
person each man's farm and
assess his lands and personal
property at what they believe to
he their real market value "
Auditor Cook's view accord
exactly with those of other intelligent
citizens here. The
prevailing idea is that if there
is to he equality and fairness in
the assessment of property and
collection of taxes the assessment
must be made, not
by the taxpayer himself,
but by hone-t, disinterested
citizen in the same community,
who makes a personal inspection
and examination cf every man's
property in their jurisdiction
Caught in the Act.
A woman suspected that her
husband was in the habit of kissing
the servant girl and resolved
to detect him in the act. On Saturday
night she Haw him quietely
j pass into the kitchen. The servj
ant girl was out and the kitchen
was dark. The jealous wile took a
few matches in her hand, and
hastily placing a shawl over her
head, as the girl often did, entered
the back door, and immediately
she was seized and kissed and
embraced in an ardent manner.
With heart almost bursting the
wife prepared to administer a ter
rible rebuke to t he faithless spouse
and tearing herself away fiom
his fond embrace, she struck a
match and stood face to face with
?the gardener.

TO PENSION EX SLATES.
Hill Introduced In Congress by
Nenator Hamia.
Washington, Feb. 4.?Senator
Hanna today introduced a bill
granting pensions and bounties

Buried the Sixth Time.
The remains of Christophe
Columbus were recently placed
in the cathedral at Seville. Referring
to this tact, the Seville
correspondent of the Chicago
Chronicle says: "It is especially
appropriate that Christopher
Columbus should lie in Seville
cathedral, it being the last rest
nig place ot Ferdinand III, of
Castile, who sent the discoverer
forth to sail to India, and the
Italian's son also named Ferdinand.
This is the sixth time that
the body of Columbus has been
buried. He died at Valladolid,
in Spain, and his remains found
a resting place there. In 1513
they were dug up again and car
ried off to Santo Domingo, in
Cuba, and once more committed
to the earth. The year 1790 saw
them disinterred again, to be
placed in the cathedral at Ila
vana, and 100 years later they
were exhumed once more and
brought back to Spain."
