? It will be gratifying news
to you, if you have a fire insur

sail readily pay up and leave
their capital unimpaired. Some
of the English companies will
pay their losses from the home
office, not touching their United

' A Word to tho Township Hoards
ot Equalization.
Tho time is drawing near for
our efficient County Auditor
Cook to call a meeting of the
various township boards of
equalization for the purpose of
canvassing all tax returns of
their respective townships and
I wish to suggest to each and
every member of the several
boards to acquaint themselves
more thoroughly with the dif
ferent grade and class of per
Ronal property in their imme
diate sections, such as horses,
mules and cattle. This will
enable them the better to per
form their duties?all property
should be assessed at (50 per
cent, of its actual cash value.
I would also suggest that the
township boards take more time
in canvassing the returns. The
law allows more than one day
to do this work in and they
l should take more time and do
t the work more thoroughly.
Members of the county board
should also put in more than
one day'9 work. As a member
1 of the county board I have ob- 1
- served that a certain class of
property, such as horses, mules
and cattle, is much higher rated
in some townships than in
1 others. This should not be and
the county board should rectify
it. Very respectfully,
i'> J. Wren Tillman,
Ch. Co. Bd. Equalization.

Washington, Feb. 15.?Information
has heen rpcpive/1
here that nearly 20,000 Japanese
troops were landed at
Chemulpo yesterday, the first
division of a large number
which will be thrown into
Corea as rapidly as possible, in
the efFort to thoroughly occupy
the strategic points in the Hermit
Kingdom while the Russian
fleet is bottled up in Port Arthur.
By one conversant with
the Japanese plans, it is stated
that the repeated attacks on
Port Arthur are not for the purpose
of seizing that place at
present unless an unexpected
weakness in the fortifications
there should develop. They are
part of a well defined plan for
the harassing of the Russian
fleet until Corea can be occupied.
Mr. Takahira, the Japanese
minister, called upon Secretary
Hay today and it is understood
that the reported detention of
about loo Japanese subjects in
Port Arthur was under discussion.
There seems to he lack of
positive information on this
subject and until the facts are
known the State department is
inclined to go slow in making
representations to Russia. It
is bound to do so, however, if
Japan formally ivquests it, as
the department has undertaken
to represent Japan so far as the
interests of Japanese subjects in
Russia are concerned.
