K1RKMAN WILL TALK TO WORK LEAGUE Richmond Man to Address Honeywell Followers at Union City Meeting.

Speaking of a coining meeting of the Personal Workers' League, which was organized during Honeywell's campaign at Union City, the Union City Eagle says the following: "Unless the unforeseen happens the meeting under the auspices' of the 1'ersonal Workers' League on Sunday, Afternoon. June 21, will he addressed by ex-State Senator Rosco Kirkman, ni Richmond, lnd. Senator Kirkman is a brilliant young lawyer of Wayne tount . He served a term in the state senate, and while there was one of the verv active supporters of the temperance legislation. Although he had reposed the liquor traffic in the halls oi the legislature, yet he allowed it to pet the better of him as a man. HuriiiK the Honeywell meetings at Richmond last winter he was deeply touched by the earnestness of the speaker and the truths he was proclaiming, and after a very effective Sunday afternoon sermon to men at which Mr. Kirkman happened to be present, he went forward and gave his hand to the evangelist. As he later explained, he did not do it for publicity, but because he realized he had never fought a fight for the right that he had not won; he had never championed an unholy cause that he had not lost. Union Citv will have a preat opportun

ity of listenin on June 21."

The members believe some drastic action is necessary to place this office on a higher plane of efficiency. Higher pay, the removal of the office from

j politics, and transformation into an ' appointive office under one of the ; higher officials of the county, men j skilled in the branch of assessing for which they are employed, are some of the changes suggested.

That the office is the most important in the financial division of city, township, county and state governments was the opinion expressed. How Some Assessors Work. Mr. Commons, of Centerville, said

placing of signs in alleys calling the attention of householders as to what they were expected to do. Mayor Robbins stated that notices had twice been served on all property owners who had been violating the ordinance, and that frequent reference had been made to it in the newspapers. He concluded with the statement that he now thought the best way to impress en the minds of some people that there was such an ordinance was to

hold a little conference with them in the city court room. Health Department. Pr. S. G. Smelser, city health officer, submitted his own report and those of the sanitary officer, crematory superintendent and meat inspector. For May there were nine cases of scarlet lever, 1 of typhoid, 1 of measles 0 of chickenpox. There were 41 births and 2 deaths. Sanitary Officer O. E. Mashmeyer reported 13 houses carded for con

tagion, 12 houses fumigated and in) au!ts ordered cleaned. j Crematory Superintendent Harry Rcsselman reported 485 yards of gar-1 huge consunu'd and 42 animals ore- j nnted.

Street Commissioner Knollenberg reported that for the month of May his payroll totaled $2,823.79. He finds that the cost of removing ashes is a heavy drain on the city treasury, the average cost per load being 59 '4 cents. Last month 1540 loads of ashes were hauled at a total cost of $t!27.32. Police Department. The police commissioners reported 80 patrol and 5 ambulance calls last month and the dismissal of one officer for drinking on duty. Chief Goodwin has been instructed to attended the annual convention of the American Chiefs of Police and to affiliate himself with that organization. It meets at Grand Rapids, June Hi, 17 and 18.

town grocery farmers to come '

! in to assess them. At one time, he 1

said, a wealthy farmer entered the grocery store and was asked by the assessor for a list of his property. : Among other things he gave in, were I six horses and said each of them was over eighteen years eld. Mr. Commons said that all the horses were in ; reality young and valuable. : Auditor Howman, a student of tax1 ation problems, believes some steps

i win be made to improve ine oitiee i

when the new taxation laws are being ; framed for a new constitution. Mr. I Rowman was unable to attend the I state conference this week, but will be ; present at the big state meeting in Indianapolis soon and also at the na

tional taxation conference in Denver in September. "I have learned that the most efficient assessors remain in office only one term." Mr. Rowman said. "A really good assessor who does his duty

ond time, but the ones who are lax

j can easily be elected again." J Affects Whole County. j Benjamin Price, another member of j the board, who first brought up the ! assesor question, said assessing is the i fundamental of all government busi- , ness, city, state or county. The asi sesors themselves have manv prob

lems to contend with, and even if they , are sincere in their efforts to be fair ; with everyone, it is almost impossible j to do so. For instance, the same man must ! assess the machinery in the Rumely ! factory who may assess the dry goods j in the Knollenberg store, Mr. Price

said. The tax rates depend largely on the tax rates made by assessors and a liberal assessor in a township can make his township rate much higher by assessing lower. A certain amount of money is required to run the governments, make improvements and. pay

! various expenses and the tax rate is based on the amount of property asj sessed. ' There was only one case this year 1 of a man voluntarily giving in per- ' sona.1 property missed by the assessor, i The man came to the auditor's office

DORMITES KEEP COOL HOLDS 15 INSANE

Roomers Sleep on Oper Roof.

Torrid nights have no terrors for the some fifteen fortunates who make the Y. M. C. A. roof their sleeping abode. "The coolest place in town" is the general verdict of those who have tried the experiment of a night under the stars.

The Y outdoor sleeping quarters is a simple affair. A platform surrounded ! by a wooilen railing, to keep those ' inclined toward Fleep xcursions with- : in bound:-, and a row of cots comprise , the outfit, w hich, according to mem-i

j hers using the privilege, is superior j j to any seaside or lake resort. j j No covering, excepting the star- ' dotted heavens, separates the sleepers j from the night, and as warm as the ' nights have been, this has proved to be j sufficient. No adjoining building blocks j ! the breezes that whip over the roof. ; ! One enthusiastic sleep fan says the ! j air is as cool and fresh as on the ; Rocky mountains. The only drawback I 'to the affair is the occasional shower, j ! which causes a hasty retreat. j i and gave in $4,000 which his mother' I had, and which the asst .s.-or did not ' I list because he failed to ask for more ! I than the household goods. 1

The latgest number of insane persons ever held in the county is nowconfined in the county jail and the women's prison. In the insane ward at the jail ate five persons, filling it to capacity, and two more are kept in the jail proper. There are eight at the women's prison. At this season, of the year, there

j are always more insane persons at the I jails than at any other time, but prob- ! ably the number, fifteen, is the rec- ' ord for the county. A number of the 1 patients are only temporarily insane, while others will be held pending sanity inquests.

TUBERCULOSIS In addition to plenty of fresh air and proper diet, those suffering from or who are predisposed to Tuberculosis are recommended to use Eckman's Alterative to stop night sweats, banish fever and hasten recovery. This medicine, by reason of its successful use during the past, warrants the fullest investigation possible by every sufferer. Eckman's Alterative is most efficacious in bronchial catarrh and severe throat and lung affections, and in upbuilding the system. It contains no narcotics, nor harmful or habit-forming drugs.
