McNsllsy, Editor. CHANGES IS TAX LAWS. A most important* change ! ■■ been made in the instructions Pm tax receivers just issued from the, office of the Comptroller General AVright. The day for makii g re turns has been placed on the Ist of February. Those who take the oath to give in their propertv af ter the tax receiver’s books open on April Ist will be required to swear to the amount of- property they held on February Ist. intead of March Ist, as heretofore. Another and the most radical change in the manner of giving tax returns was made by the legis ture at the last session. In the general tax act it is provided that the tax receiver, or some one in the presence of the tax receiver, must administer the oath in per son to everypue who wishes to make his return. In many counties where there are a large number of taxpayers the time required to administer the oath to each one as he presents himself to the tax receiver’s office will be very great, and it is believed that time which the books will be kept open will have to be length ened, although this is not provided for in the general act. Under the head of stocks, bonds, notes accounts, judgements, mort gages, hens, etc., the instructions state that the tax receivers should be vigilant in having the returns made on this class of property. The tax act of 1898 says that all ' such property as mentioned is tax able. It also says that the stock of insurance, telegraph, express and telephone companies is taxa ble for state ai.d county tax owned or held by citizens of this state whether in or out of the state. There are other changes but the above are the most important. THE SKELETON IN' I'KESInENT MC KINLEY’S CLOSET. All America waits intently to hear the thrilling story of ruin and retribution that will be unfolded, piece by piece, in the Canton, 0., court on April 4. The story will tell of a woman’s frailty, a man’s villainy and the vengeance of one loved and then cast off with mock ing scorn. The man in the case was the brother-in-law of Presi dent McKinley, and bis tragic death on the night of October 0, 1898, sent a thrill of surprise and horror through every American household. Very few people were aware that tne gentle mistres3 of the whitehouse had a brother who, to speak as charitably as possible of the dead, was a libertine whoso tragic end no decent person could deplore. He died by the hand of the woman he had wronged and deceived—one of many. Little Allie Shoffer, of Canton, 0., the first girl whom George Saxton wooed, died of a broken heart when she found him false to her A leading Canton physician shot him for attempting to invade the peace of his home. The libertine spent a vacation on a country farm, and after he had left, the pretty little daughter of the farmer, a child of fourteen, crept out in the night and drowned herself in a pond. Then Saxton came into the life of the woman by whom ho met his death. He was a fine looking man, big (aud blonde, hearty, wealthy and full of life. She was a happy wife and mother, beautiful, and sharing comparative poverty with her hus band, a carpenter. The man of wealth was her landlord. His at tractive personality and his money gained for him first place in the affections of Mrs. Semple George Then began the tragic part of the story. Mrs. George gave up all for Saxton. Saxton promised to marry her when she secured a Da kota divorce. He had made that promise very often in his lifetime, but he died a bachelor. Sick at heart and half mad over her trou bles, Mrs. George cane to Saxton one day to claim his promise for the last time. “Go to the devn,” said Saxton. Two days later Sax ton was shot to death iu Canton. No one can be found who heard the shots fired. Mrs. George told her seducer he should die for his villainy. Whether or not she must die for her act of retribution or whether Americans, who respect the sacred institution of the home, will demand that she be allowed to go free, remains to be seen. The woman who killed the libertine sits in her cell, her glorious beauty gone and her happy life blighted, waiting to be tried for murdering the man w'hose whole life was as a serpent’s trail. The trial will be of national importance. If you want cheap Pants see Kutledge dr Clower. HELP BEAR KAt H OTHERS’ KI RIIENB. These arc great times for people to feel blue and out of sorts —we all know how it is, and we might all help our fellow-beings through these gloomy periods by words of kindness and cheerfulness. Frank L. Stanton, of Georgia, and James Whitcomb Riley, the “hoosier poet” of Indiana, are the two most widely quoted writers now in America; and all their j writings are the bidding of a heart that wells up sengs of sunshine and cherfulness. Hereaieafew lines from Riley’s pen, which if we would all accept as one of the rules of our living, would help to send a ray of bright ness into many a darkened heart: “If you should see a fellow-man with trouble’s flag unfurled, An’ lookin’ like he didn't have a friend ' in all Ihe world, Go up an’ slap him en the back, an’ hol ler ‘How d’yo do; An’ grasp his hand so warm he’ll know he’s got. a friend in you. Then ax him what’s a hnrtin’ him, an’ laugh his cares away, Ail’tell him that the darkest night is just before the day; Don’t talk grave-yard palaver, but say it right out loud, That God would sprinkle sunshine in the trail of every cloud. ’’ A small church was sadly in need of general repairs, and a meeting was being held in it with a view of raising funds for that purpose. The minister having said SSOO would be required, a very wealthy (and equally stingy)mem ber of the congregation rose and said he would give one dollar. •Just as he sat down, however, a lump of plaster fell from the ceil ing and hit him on the head, where upon he rose up hastily ar.d called out that he had made a mistake— he would give SSO. This was too much for an enthusiast present, who, forgetful of everything, called out fervently: “O, Lord, hit him again!”—Ex. LITTLE MOUNTAIN. Special to THE NEWS.

It is understood that thpre are now applications for two post offices to be established in Berk shire district, in that part known as “Possum Corner.” Since the beginning of the pew year few of oui» people have at tended church as they ought, per haps for two reasons—the inclem ency of the weather and feur of small pox. On Saturday afternoon last thpre arose a threatening Cloud with much thunder and lightning, and then Wednesday night, about midnight, another cloud arose with considerable wind and heavy thunder. The elements were lit up in a constant glare, and many became frightened. Hail poured down regularly. The other night Nathan Jones narrowly escaped from what came very near being a fatal accident. ! While walking over the quarry re cently, he picked up a cartridge used for blasting purposes. He took it home, and after night sat down 1 1 v the fire place and under took t" analyze it by probing into it with a pointed instrument, when it very suddenly exploded, tearing off one o f his thumbs a d a huger, and making an aperture in the roof of his house. The for’o of it narrowly missed his head, and shook him up terribly, so at this time he can scarcely get about bis premises. His curiosity regarding these blastingappliaoces is thoroughly satisfied. Bros. S. H. Lindsay, phil<>»o-l pher, poet and historian, is teach- ! ing school the present year at the Miller Academy, near Camp Creek. The Professor is a man of no ordi- ! nary attainments, the scintilla tions of whose genius and learning show the brightest in his class! room, emongst his students. To him more than any other man is this surrounding country due for the literary advancement made within the last fifteen years. While many young men have risen to noble positions, under his discipline and instruction, very few, if any, have risen to that finished scholastic attainment he is capable of bringing them, hud they devoted more time. Out side of any college it is said there is not a better training school in this immediate country than Prof. Lindsay’s. WILDCAT. Special to THE NEWS.

E. 1). Little, J. H. Moore, L. Y. Osborne, Committee, Women Shcuid Enow It. Many women suffer untold agony and misery becuuse the nature of their disease is not correctly undeistood. They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness ot some sort is respon sible for the many ills that beset woman kind. Neguralgia, nerveousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheu matism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weakness or bearing-down sensation, profuse or scanty supply of urine with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it with scalding and burning sensa tion, sediment in it after standing in bot tle or common glass for twentv-four hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble. The above symptons are often attribut ed by the patient herself or by her physi cian to female weakness or womb trouble Hence so msny fail to obtain relief, be cause they are treating not the disease itself but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trou ble and lioth need the same remedy. I)r.

What is the matter with our people in regard to Sunday-school? Are the older people so uncon cerned about their children that they cannot organize one ? Let’s all wake up to our duty at once Hard Times. It is a very common thing to hear the expression “hard times” It is an uuthan kful expression. In this country we do not know what it is to want. The seasons never fail completely and even if the crops were to fail entirely for one year there would yet remain suffi cient food in this country to last until another year. It is not so in other lands. India has just passed through a great famine which large numbers of people have starved to death. China is now threatened with a famine in which will result in the death of many thousands. These people live so near death’s door, the pop ulation so numerous and the wa ges so small, that any shortage of crops is likely to be the death of multitudes. Would it not be well, when we become dissatisfied with our lot for us to remember how much better off we are as a peo ple than almost any other nation on the globe, and instead of com plaining of hard times, give glory that we never suffer as others do ? Conteutment aud thank fulness are graces which need cultivation. —Southoan Presbyterian. Hon. W. J.
