THE NEW TAX LAW,
With Soma Figures Showine Eeduotions. Ever Bince the passage of the new tax law republican newspapers through the state have spent much valuable space in showing the new law increased taxes, as it was a democratic measure. The asBer tion is false as regards this county and without question is the same elsewhere through Indiana. The new law equalizes taxation, making every man pay his just share and no more df taxes. Below we. give a few caseB of taxes assessed against proporty through the county, showing the taxes paid in 1890 under the old law and the amount paid or to be paid in 1891. Watch carefully the total amount of taxable property and the amount of taxes assessed thereon lor both years and you will readily die-1 cern the great reduction under the new

Last Tuesday afternoon a goodly crowd attended the shooting match on the Butcher's grounds. Two matches were on the programme, the firstof which was between George Clough, of New Richmond, and Ed. Voris, which was won by Voris by a score of 44 to 35, each man shooting at 50 English sparrows. The second match between Ilarley Ornbaun and Albert Miller, in which the same number of birds wpre used, was won by Ornbaun with a score of 45 to 37.
Wingate's Sensation.
Wingate is enjoying a delightful scn-aation-by the sudden and unceremonious 'disappearance of one of he prominent young business men, W. II. York, of the firm of Clark York. The supposition is that ho is at present basking in California's* golden sunshine, away from toil and sorrow. The cause for his precipitated departure is laid at the door of con nubial infelicity, but just how true this iB wo are not prepared to say. At any •rate he.leaves a beautiful young wife to mourn his departure.

A1 Harwood, one of the best caterers in the city, died at his home, on North Green street, Sunday night, after an illness of two weeks, at the age of 49 years. Mr. Harwood has spent all of his life in this county, and was one of the most gonial, whole-souled fellows that ever lived, charitable to a fault and honest to an unlimited degree. The funeral occurred Tuesday from the Alamo Christian church. Interment in the .Alamo cemetery.

All the costs and attorneys' fees in the well-known "chicken stealing" case l'roin Ripley township, in which four citizens were made defendants, have been settled. The smii total, we understand, was .$1,240, and 1lie amount was mostly collected from a number of horse thief detective companies through the state, making the amount to be borne by the -defendents not very burdensome. All parties, no doubt, are gvatitied that the cases have terminated.

That officious official who remarked one day this week that Commissioner Fullen was crazy will have reason to think that ho is a raving maniac before he gets through with him.
Reynolds announces himself as a candidate again as councilman from his ward. Thero are a number of republicans who assert that they would take pleasure in lifting his scalp on election day.
Charley Davis announces himself as a candidate for sheriff. Ho probably has hopes that another big Pettit murder trial will occur while he is in office, and that he can board the jury for six or seven weeks. There was money in that to him.
In the convention which meets on the 16th of next month, care should be taken in the selection of delegates to the various conventions. Old stagers who bounce up every two years, working to become delegates, should be gently led to the rear, and representative men of the party selected.
The "rads." in the second ward are having a difiiclut time in hunting up a candidate to pit against Dr. Jones Several good men have been suggested but they don't suit tho gang. Has Jeff Scott no relatives in the Second ward he can put on for tho placc?
The scheme worked beautifully. Dice and Brush got Gen. Wallace's name before the Brazil convention. Of course he was selected and of course again ho declined. This left alternate ill Loavitt, of Brazil, next in line of promotion and he takes Wallace's place at the National Convention while Chairman Williams holds the bag and wonders what struck him.
Happy Harve Arlando Wilkinson, the Balliinch barrister, bobs up serenely this week and announces his name as a republican candidate for Prosecuting Attorney.

WILD WINDS.
CHICAGO, March 10.—The •worst blizzard known since January 12, 1888, set in through the northwest Wednesday. Reports thus far received are necessarily meager, due to the prostration of telegraph wires throughout the territory affected, but that much damage to property has been inflicted, great suffering caused and a considerable IOSB of life experienced is certain, while later and fuller reports may make the situation so much worse that its horrors will exceed that of the terrible storm of four years ago.
The Ar«a Vial led.
Minnesota and North Dakota' aeem to have been the worst sufferers from the blizzard, while heavy snow, accompanied ty high winds, fell in Wisconsin, and Iowa felt the effect of a severe blow. Kansas and Nebraska were also affected, but Illinois and Michigan seemed to have escaped, though there was a more provoking than serious disturbance of the weather in and near Chicago.
At Warren, 111., the mercury is reported at 10 below z«ro. The storm at Freeport was unprecedented. A dispatch from Fairbury says everything is again frozen up. Winter wlieat is likely to be the greatest sufferer. Street car travel is seriously impeded at Rockford and business is almost at a standstilL Trains on all roads are late and some have been abandoned.
MINNESOTA SUFFERS SEVERELY.
Cold, Snow and High Winds Prevail, and Loss of Life Is beared. ST. PAUL, Minn., March 10.— Perhaps not in fifteen years has St Paul been visited by so horrible a blizrard as that which began about 8 o'clock Wednesday morning. Tuesday night a rain set in which turned to snow, and soon afterward a gale sprang up which was almost impossible for a human being to face. The wind blew fitfully with much force. It was heavily ladeh with small particles of snow, which penetrated houses arid streetcars like fine dust. At times it was impossible to see 10 feet away and the wind blew so hard as to almost take people off their feet. A snowplow ran into a Selby avenue cable-train and smashed things badly, but no one was injured. Nearly all the electric railway lines," including the InterUrban line between St. Paul and Minneapolis, found it impossible to run cars. Reports at the railroad offices show that on almost every line of travel in the northwest traffic is badly blockcd. The blizzard was general throughout the northwest and it is feared that much loss of life must have resulted in the open country. It is be coming extremely cold.
DULUTH, MIUU., March 10.—All the furies of tho elements seemed to be loose Wednesday night. All day long they held high carnival in this section of the northwest. The storm center was not far from this city, between here and St Paul, and this gave Duluth the full force of the conflicting storms, one coming from the south, the other from the north. The temperature at midnight was 3 degrees above zero. Business in the afternoon was almost entirely suspended. During the morning street cars ran' with the help of snow plows, but gave up the strug-' gle about noon. The Northern Pacific abandoned its trains, as did the South Shore. The afternoon Northwestern train arrived and one was started out, but it is not known how far it got At West Duluth the smokestack of Merrill & Ring's sawmill blew down, killing a man named F. Cullen and injuring two others. It is feared there may be much suffering, if not loss of life, before the storm is over.
CIIOOKSTON, Minn. March 10.—This locality was visited by the severest storm experienced in years Tuesday night. It started in the evi ning with a gentle j-ain, but by 10 o'clock turned into a blinding snow storm with a stiff gale from the north. Shortly after midnight it gained great velocity and tho wind rose to a perfect hurricane, carrying with it all signs aud loose material and doing many dollars' worth of damage to business blocks. Numerous plate-glass fronts were demolished.
Sr. PICTKB, Minn., March 10.—The •worst blizzard for nineteen years is raging here. Several school children who started out Wednesday are missing both at school and at home, although it is hoped they have been taken in aud are being cared for. Two teamsters also started for the country early in the morning, and it is feared that they are victims of the blizzard. The storm is fully as Uad as the one of 1873, when the .-a was .such loss of life and when so much stock perished, and, while nut as cnid as t'le-ii, it is rapidly growing in that direction.
AN OLD-THK: tSJ.IZZAKD.
It Sweeps Ovpr low ., UoiiiK Conslderablti llanjitK'i'—Trains IJr!:iy«'d. MAHSHALI.TOWN", la., March 10.—The most violent windstorm known here for years prevailed all day, accompanied by frequent snow.-quails. The wind is northwest, having almost the velocity of a hurricane, and the temperature is rapidly falling. Considerable havoc was wrought by the wind here. A stone wall 20 feet high was blown down at Bofman'a old brewery. Tho wind peeled a section of tin roof 20 by 40 feet off the main building of the Ivetehum wagon works, rolling it up like wall paper blew down the Marshalltown furniture factory's smokestack, and much other minor damage was'done. Shade trees,
chimneys, awnings and outhouses were blown down and scattered. Business has been paralyzed all day. Trains are delayed on the railroads.
DKS MOINES, la., March 10.-The storm here has been one of the worst ever experienced here in March. It haa blown down trees, chimneys and signs and in some cases small barns. The loss throughout central Iowa will be large. The highest velocity reached here was 00 miles an hour and the maximum for a five-minute period 40 miles an hour.
Much damage has been done all over the state by wind. At Plover four freight cars' were -blown from the Rock Island tracks. Telegraph lines have been badly damaged to a great extent by falling trees and limbs. The walls of the Capital City opera house, burned two weeks ago, were blown down, but no one was injured.
WATERLOO, la..- March 10.—A terrible windstorm, accompanied by snow and sleet, has been raging here. It reached its height at noon, tearing off many roofs, breaking plate-glass windows and overturning carriages. Two hacks were overturned on the bridges and one man was seriously injured. No covcred vehicles have attempted to cross the river since noon. Telegraph wires are down and all trains are late.
IN WISCONSIN.
The ltadger State Suffers Severely front the Blizzard. EAU CLAIRE, Wis., March 10.—A high wind from the north is driving blinding snow before it The electric railway is blocked and jnost trains are late. The temperature is about freezing point
ASHLAND, Wis., March 10.—One of the worst snowstorms of the season has been raging here. Traffic was nearly entirely suspended and it was impossible to brinf out the street-cars Wednesday afternoon.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis." March 10.— The worst storm of the season is raging here, succeeding a run of unusually spring-like weather. At 5 o'clock Wednesday morning it began to snow and the fall increased as the day wore on, the wind rising to a perfect gale. Fully 12 inches of snow has fallen and it lies in drifts, in some places 10 feet high. All street cars are blockaded at points along the roads and efforts to resume traffic have been abandoned.
JULIZZARD IN THE DAKOTAS.
"The Worst Storm in tho Memory of the OldeHt Inhabitant." GRAFTON, N. D., March 10.—A terrible blizzard and snowstorm visited Grafton Tuesday night and is still continuing. Roofs were blown off and fronts blown in. It is the worst storm in the memory of the old settlers. No trains are running, business is entirely suspended, and electric light and waterworks are disabled.
DEVIL'S LAKE, N. D., March 10.—A terrible blizzard has been raging here. It rained five hours Tuesday, then suddenly changed to sleet and snow, with a high wind, culminating in the worst blizzard of this winter. The possibilities are that considerable stock has perished and possibly some human beings. All trains are tied up and business is suspended.

Committee. WASHINGTON, March 10.—The proposition for a deep-water channel connecting Chicago. Duluth and other western lake points with Buffalo and eastern lake points has practically been killed by opposition before the river and harbor commiltee. Several congressmen from lake districts have urged that, the deep waterway would be a positive injury, as it would lead to huildiugdeepcr draft and larger vessels and thus driving tlie small vessels from the lakes. It has also been opposed on the ground that it was a project favorable to Chicago, Dulnth and liuffalo at the expense of intermediate lake points. The discussion has brought out much bitterness in the river and harbor committee and has brought about a feeling which is sure to kill the deep-waterway project.
