HAGERSTOWK TAX RATt LOWERED Town and School Boards Reduce It From $2.24 To $1.95. THE CAUSE IS EXPLAINED.

TAXATION FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES WA8 MORE THAN WAS NEEDEDVALUATION OF PROPERTY INCREASES. Hagerfitown, Ind., Sept. 23. Contrary to the general expectation among the tax payers of Hagerstown corporation, the tax levy for the corporation was not raised, but decreased- The rate of taxation for all purposes for 1907 was $2.24 on each 1X valuation. The rato for 1908, according to the levy made by the school board and town council, will be $1.95 for each $100 valuation for all purposes, a decrease of 20 cents. The town board of trustees was being roughly censured for bonding the town for the purpose of installing the electric light plant. Many property owners declared that instead of having to pay $2.24, the rate would be raised so high that the matter of taxation would be a 6erious burden. Two reasons are given for the decrease. First, the school board found that the rate of taxation for school purposes was 45 cents higher than Is necessary. Second, there is a gain of over $50,000 in the assessed valuation of taxable property in tho corporation exclusive of mortgage exemptions. By losing the saloons the town was deprived of an annual revenue of $450. Added to this, an electric light plant costing $9,000 was built and the marshal re-appointed. All will be at the reduced rate of taxation. Art Gems Free.

Many things have been advertised in the local papers for human ailments, but nothing has created the talk and enthusiastic pvaise In this city and vicinity like Root Juice. Most of those who take the remedy a short while cannot say too many good things for the scientist and his wonderful health-promoting discovery. While here the scientist said: "The medicine does not cure disease; it simply removes the cause and gives nature a chance. That Is why so many people get well after taking the Juice a while." Many local people permitted their names to be published in this paper because the remedy cured them and they continue to report at A. G. Luken's drug store some great good the Juice is doing. It Is certainly a great medicine for the stomach, liver and kidneys. Indigestion, constipation, rheumatism, backache, sick headache, nervousness and other symptoms of a disordered condition of the digestive and secretory organs are soon removed under the Juice treatment They are pleased to tell all about it at Luken's drug store.

RATE HOT ADVANCED

Controller Parry in Error When He Says County Taxes Are Raised. NEXT YEAR'S SCHEDULES. City Controller Parry was slightly in error In his communication of Monday to the city council, when he said the county commissioners have adl vanced the state and county tax rate. ! The county made no advance what soever in the county rate. The tax levy is determined by the county coun cil. At the present time the total tax rate applying to the city is $2.60. Of f this amount 63 cents is the city school board rate. The board has not determined upon its action for next year. Inasmuch as the new high school building is to be built it would not create a surprise if this rate were advanced slightly. The schedule for 1908 is 3 cents higher than that of last year, but the advance has not been made on county or state tax. The township library fund has been advanced 1 cent. The South L street fund is new. It is for 2 cents and represents the only other advance that will prevail during 190S unless the school board adds to its rate. The South L street fund was created as the result of the order to construct this street under the new law providing that the entire township be taxed to defray the expense. The tax rate for next year as now arranged for is 12.63 in the city and divided as follows: County, 45 13-20 cents (no change); state 33 13-20 cents (no change); city, $1.10 (no change) ; township, poor, 3 cents (no change) ; township library 4 cents (1 cent Increase); township assessor 2 cents (no change); South L street, 2 cents (new); city schools 63 cents.

I was having severe backaches and pains in the loins and shoulders, and at times it was very severe. I got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at A. G. Luken & Co.'s drug store and began using them. I took only two boxes in all and was entirely freed from my aches and pains, and have never had a return of my trouble since, although it was several years ago that I used them. My sister and I both think there is nothing so- good as Doan's Kidney Pills and very gladly recommend them to other kidney sufferers." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 Cents.

RACE BITTER AGAINST

LELAR COLEMAN Negroes Threaten to Whitecap Woman Freed of Crime. Rushville. Ind., Sept 23. That a very bitter feeling existed against Mrs. Lelar Coleman among the colored people of Rushville, has been in evidence since the woman was first accused of being connected with the death of her husband. The letter sent to the foreman of the jury last Saturday emphasized this fact and now comes an anonymous letter in which the writer, who sets himself up as a representative of a number of colored people, threatens to whitecap the woman acquitted of complicity in a most dastardly crime. Mrs. Coleman has left Rushville, probably for all her life, but she knew nothing of the threatening letters written but wa3 probably acquainted with the fact that many of the colored people here did not hold a very good feeling toward her.
