The Ist of delhiqaent poll tax payers con* falna nearly 200 namea. Complaints gainst these persons have been made by President M ssey before Justice Baxter, and Police Constable Cnrley has been un paged in servinc the summonsps upon de* IrqaentR. Som e 86 delinquents have al- PRoy paid their poll taxes. Usually where rompc payment is made, the dne of two dollars authorized by law, la not imposed, out tf the ddlcqueni is ugly and makes trouble, the flmi promptly follows. Thus fst, only one person has been fined, George Beckwith o t North-st. His do II ax, the fine »nd costs amounted to 83 05, which sum was paid. The tix book In* dicated that his property tax was still un- Many of these delinqnent poll tax pav- -rs came here from other slates and wen gnorant of the provisions o f the lav which compels every male inhabttan’ wentv-one years old to pay an, annua •oil tax of one dollar.

Tb- Mill tax list as prepared by Street Ci’n'* nlesloner Baker is quite imperfect ii •espect to many names, and the vil ag’- trustees have been compelled to mak lumerous corrections. In one family oi four voter.®, the same initial letter is n»e< for each member of the family, and lit- fore a summons can bo Issued against > leilnquent memticr, the Christian nam of the proper person must bo ascertainei'. The poll tax list for 1895 should have th list o f voters at the coming charter elec ■Ion for reference, and then a very care- '111 census should be taken In May O' The village charter provides that a pc-- -.on w h o refn=e8 to pay his poll tax mn. he sentenced to tbe county jail for thlrD days. One “ bluffer” claimed to have n- money, and told tbe justice to comm!' lira to the county jail. When the com mitment papees were ready, he chanee< is mind and produced the money to pat hi« poll tax. Tbe officials are havim. quite a picnic over this poll taxm a ttpi, >^nr. are determined to enforce the prt- isions of the law.

LOCAL LINEH John Baker bos closed his candy and fruit store in the Buss & VanSchoonhov- block, and g«me o u t o f businoss. is staled that not a single case of knit goods remains in the storehonses at Amsterdam. The outlook for tbe trade is believed to be highly flattering. T h e saloon betw e e n th e Paric-aye. opera house aud the hardware store of Bunce & Cadv, is said io rent at 830 a month. Resldi-nt4 in that vicinity denounce the board of excise for granttuR a Itcenae for said saloon. llalpli Faroiia, an Italian who couduofs a saloon on Warsaw-st. near the Flynn huildlng lots, has opened a fruit and can dy store near the Francls-st. brldae, in the store recently occupied by John Thomson, tbejuweler. Much of the trouble of the world is the result o f what people say. W hat people don’t say they don’t hsye to explain or tpolngise for. I f they devote themselves -itrlctiy to their business or work, and lay little, their contentions are few. Bu« with tne newspaper its business Is that of I'ssylng.\ Thus it is that with even the mo.st prudent management the newspaper inevitably has troohlos from which others may easily escape. The lewspapor cannot bo silent. It must -ipeak and it would be a miracle If with cnnstiint speaking there were not some ■iilo o f the tongue. Therefore the news- laper must be judged br a different stan>'- «rd from that applied to other yocallons —Burlington Hawkeye. The post office department a t Wasblng- fon has decided that the awarding of a irize to the person guessing, nearest the lumber o f seeds in a watermelon constl- ntes a lottery, and that a newspaper con- aining tbe result o f such an award is un- nullable. The same decision has been nido with reference to an award fo' 'uesslng nearest the number o f beans in i clear glass bottle. A Connecticut news. laper was recently refnsed transmission hrougb the mails because it contained an ccount o f the prizes drawn at some so- •Icty fair. Newspaper men probably would not bo allowed to report guesses •n the weight of a hog. Lotteries are tmong tbe great curses of tbe day, and •ause g reat mischief among the poor and -imple. It is tbe aim of the goyernment 0 ) protect these people.

Country people are not reached by the mpers o f large cities even in these days if rapid travel. The circulation of cltv lapers in country towns is comparatively ■■mail, and the local paper Is the one In which they are naturally interested; con- -equently, the local town or country pa- j«r Is the very best for all advertising which is of a general nature—PreM and Printer, _ Warren Baker is prepared to take or- lers for nnrsery stock for delivery next ■pring.
