All criminals were turned loose on the Silieran coast well supplied with provisions PROOF IT And Berne Mas a Right to Talk About Ker Wealth. The abstract of assessed valuation of taxable property of this county reprinted elsewhere in this issue affords some interesting com pari*on». Monroe township, as usual, stands highest in the list of! townships in taxable property, and I St Mary's lowest. The south half of the county, not including corporations, exceeding the north half in valuation is almost double| that of Geneva and more than. two fifths that of Decatur, although its population is about the same as that of Geneva and less than one third that cf Decatur. The valuation of personal property is more than two-thirds that of Decatur and nearly three times that of Geneva. The assessed wealth p a r capita of B? n• is there- | fore about or nearly double that of | either Geneva or Decatur. Has the . "arid” atmosphere of Berne any ' thing to do with this excellent , showing that Berne makes?—Berne . Witness. STATE CAMP Military Metts at Fort Harrison Next Month. ■y United Press Nsws Association.
