Senator Johnston (Dem.) introduced the resolution. Mayor Bookwalter Issued : a proclamation last night asking for donations of fuel and money for the poor.

KÜMBER THIRTEEN AT WORE Carious Combination In a Bill of Goods, a Uoaey Order and Some Other Thin. Newcastle, Ind., Jan. 13. A peculiar combination of the number 13 has been revealed here.

L Keynote of the Speeches Mado at a "Get Coal" .Meeting. T at Chicago. ABOOLA,. ILLS., PEOPLE GET, CO AI pa Dy the Strenuous Sietbod of Confisca tionNews of CoaL Famine from Various Points. Chicago, Jan. 13. A national convention at Washington for the pur pose of impressing on President Roose veit the urgent need for Immediate relief from the stringency of the coal situation was decided on yesterday at a conference In the Grand Faciflc hotel. . The call for the gathering will be Issued today by Mayor Maybury, of Detroit, acting as chairman of the permanent committee of the Detroit coal convention. It was this committee which Saturday agreed .on the necessity for a national meeting at the capital. This decision followed a series of speeches in which Attorney General Knox was censured, it being alleged that he had not, enforced the laws by which redress could be secured. Decided to Mot on Washington. There was a considerable divergence of opinion at first as to the most effective method to be pursued to obtain relief from the present prices of coal. Suggestions were made that an open letter be addressed to President Roosevelt, that a convention be called at Detroit or Chicago, or that congress be applied to for action. The proposal to "move on Washington in a body," finally prevailed, it being agreed that the enforcement of existing laws offered adequate means of relief. General Attack on Knax. Speeches made by Senator Mason, Tarsney, Rev. R. A. AYhlte and Mayor Maybury Indicate that the convention at Washington will be, devoted largely to the presentation of charges that Attorney General Knox has failed to grant the relief that the laws make possible. In fact more than three hours of speech-making was concerned chiefly with arguments to that effect BT THE STRENUOUS METHOD Areola, lila Break Her Coal Famine by Seizing a Whole Train. Areola, Ills., Jan. 12. The coal famine which has paralyzed business here for over a week is broken. An Illinois Central coal train, consisting of sixteen cars, bound for Chicago, stopped here Saturday and was immediately confiscated by the citizens. The Central company was notified that the coal would not be allowed to be moved out of town, and the local agent was offered the money for it. He telegraphed headquarters acid they refused to sell, whereupon the train was immediately confiscated. Active in the party were the pastors of the Presbyterian and Free Methodist churches, the presidents of the banks and one policeman. Each load was weighed and a strict account kept in hopes of making satisfactory settlement with the owners. When the train stopped a crowd of several hundred persons was soon clamoring for coal A consultation was held and S. L. Woodward, proprietor of the electrie plant, tendered the local Central agent money for the coal on behalf of the people. This was refused. By this time the more desperate had climbed into the cars and were loading theit wagons. Colonel J. R. Beggs, president of the First National bank, acted as marshal of the day, and endeavored to keep the wagons in line: Thomas Lyons, president of the State bank: Ilev. Edward Baech. Rev. William Prout, Policeman Walter Craft and many influential citizens were prominent in the raid. For some reason the local dealers have been unable to get coal for the last month and. fully one-half the people In town were out of fuel. This condition made them desperate and persons of all classes were glad to avail themselves of this opportunity and aided in the confiscation. LACK OF COAL CAUSES ILLNESS SXllwaak physician Say That of Many ; . .. Patients No Famine There. . - Milwaukee: : Jan. 12. A- number .' of physicians report considerable sickness in this Ity ' on ' account of - the cold weather, for the reason that their patients did not have sufficient fuel on hand to keep warm. In many instances physicians furnished certificates for supplies of coaL but all of these could not be filled. The stock of soft coal on hand in Milwaukee is estimated at 100,000 tons, and dealers say there Is not the remotest probability of a soft coal famine. Most of the big manufacturingconcerns of the city have guarantees from dealers that make their position secure. Large shipments of all-rail soft coal are being received daily. Jfotec of the Famine. The Glucose plant at Peoria, IuX which requires thirty cars of coal daily, has closed down for lack of fuel. Tenants In St Paul houses are tear ing up back stairs to use" for fuel. The Big steel works at Steelton, Pa., has closed for lack of eoal, renderInsr Idle thousands of men.

Notice is hereby given to the Taxpayers of MA RS II ALL, COUNTY, INDIANA, that the Tax Duplicate for the year 1902 is now in my hands, and that I will attend at the Treasurer's office, at Plymouth, as the law directs, for the purpose of receiving Taxes now due. ' The following table shows the rate of taxation on each One Hundred Dollars' worth of property, and also on each Poll, in the several Townships and Corporations for the year 1902:

The first installment of Taxes (including Road Tax) must be paid on or before the First Monday in May, or the taxes for the whole year will become delinquent and subject to 10 per cent, penalty. The Second Installment must be paid on or before the Srst Monday in November following. , But any taxpayer may pay the full amount of such taxes on or before the first Monday in May, 1903. , . . j t. Assignees, Guardians, Administrators, and others who pay taxes on property in trust, and persons whose taxes are complicated, such as undivided estates, etc., are earnestly requested to settle such taxes before the last few days, as it requires considerable time to make divisions and separate receipts therefor. As the Treasurer cannot know the location 0 each person's properly, taxpayers should designate the property on which they xcish to pay taxes, and see that all property is specified in their receipts. If they have land in more than one township or town, or desire to pay taxes on lands not in their names, call the Treasurer's attention to the matter. Boad Receipts rdll not be received after the First Monday in May, except on Delinquent luxes. Carefully examine the receipts before leaving the office, and if anything is wrong have the correction made at once. The Treasurer will not be responsible for the penalty and charges on delinquent taxes resulting from any omission of the person failing to state definitely on what property, in whose name, and in what township or corporation it is assessed. Persons owing delinquent taxes should pay them at once. The present law is of such a character that there U no option left the Treasurer but to enforce the collection of delinquent taxes by the sale of property, if necessary. The owner ofproperty on the first day of April in any ;year shall be liable for the taxes. of that year; the purchaser of property on the first day of April in any year shall be considered the owner on that day." SECTION 103. 1 Call on the Auditor for irregularities in taxes or for reductions to be made. The Treasurer cannot make such reductions Taxpayers will find -it greatly to their advantage to call at the Treasurer's office and get a memorandum of the amount due from them foe taxes. , .County orders cannot be paid to parties owing delinquent taxes. All persons are warned against buying them.' ' . . The Annuel Sale of Delinquent Lacds and Lots will take piece the Second Monday la February, 1303. ' r" I would especially urge upon taxpayers the importance of paying early and. avoiding the rush of the last f jw days. pivriOUTll, inxJIAKA, January x. xsos Treasurer .nrsliall Cocsty, Xsälaca.
