were plucked out of Mr. Vivian's gar

curiosity, considering the lateness ol the
season December 2nd. Mr. Vivian
tells us that ho made no esjwcial effort
in selecting such Ktti!ks,-as his raspberry
patch presents dozens of similar fruit-
latfon biamrhc, and on Thanksgiving

with the dessert course at their Thanks

An alarm of flro turned in from
W 117. in the lHth ward, on Wednesday
morning was responded to by most
of the companies of tho city 1. F. I).
The underwriters' patrol having re
ceived a still alarm, was wen on tne
way to tho scene of tho conllngnitiou
before the general alarm went in.'
Chemical companies 1. 3 and 8 and hook
and ladder company No. arrived at the
same time and through the heroic efforts
of Chief of tho Clicuiicnl Companies
W. A. HurriB, tho services ol tne engine
companies were not -needed, although
live companies responded to thenjnrm.
It is certainiv fortunate that such was
the case. Through tho careless manip
ulating of the team, driver of No. 8
crashed Into two engines which had ar
rived just uhead of iiiui, causing a gen
eral pile-up and complete wreck of two
of the engines. In tho excitement
which prevailed, driver of No. 7 dashed
down the street at a tremendous rate of
speed, and as ho turned tne corner oi
Columbia street he at once saw that a
collision with the wrecked engines on
the opposite side of tho street was un
avoidable, and he leaped for his life, his
team and niachino continuing in its
frantic pace, joining the other wrecked

The danuigo to tho stock was slight,
owing to tho efficiency of tho pntiol sys

tho extent of tho loss of one shingle
and tho breaking oil' of tho corner of
one brick in the main fluo leading from

The assessor finds no greater Impedi
ment to progress in making up the
present ownership books thun the fact
that many persons. who hold deeds to
property in tho county do not file the
documents for record. There a number
of huge tracts of land in the county
that huvo been divided among heirs and
deeds made, yet the instruments are not
a matter of record. All these onners
should be forthwith filed and recorded.
.
IjiikI redemptions for the month of
November proved a very satisfactory
source of Income to tho county. We
havo explained before the methods em
ployed by the officers in makinir these
collections. Up to the 18ih of Novem
ber there had been $4.10.60 received on
account of land redemptions, and for
the remaining twelve days of the month
there was received $117.00. niakinz a
total for tho month of $548.50. As op
portunity presents- itself for tho clerks
to- devote any time to this work, the
mutter is taken dd and cood results
always follow.
As there seems to be considerable
misunderstanding as to the proper man
ner for procedure in procuring liountv
on wild animals, we have taken the
precaution to look tho matter up. The
first necessary step is for the person se
curing the sculp of the animal on which
bounty is pant, is to go to tne justice of
the peace in his precinct, or to a notary
public, make affidavit and secure a cer
tillcato from the administering officer,
which certificate is to be presented to
the county court. The justice or notary
will make and lilo with the county eourt
a list of ail scalps presented to him, by
whom presented, together with the
scalps, with the exception of one ear,
which be retains. No scales are to bo
destroyed by the administering officer,
as all certilicates must tslly with the
scalps presented by the histico or no
tary. The county clerk will forward the
certificate, properly attested, to the
secretary of state, who will return a
stuto bounty warrant to the person
mimed. 'The administering officer re
ceives as his compensation 6 per cent of
the amount of the bounty.
.
Speculations and estimates on large
flnuncial propositions are wo.tli no
more than the breath and time con
sumed iu making tltem, but carefully
prepared data from the county records
Is reliable and trustworthy. Several
times within the last few months we
havo stated that the debt of the
county did not exceed $20,000. That
was guess work, based however, on
reasonable calculation. Wo aro pre
pared now to state tho absolute facte in
the caso, having consumed considerable
time in going over tho books in the
county clerk's office, taking the figures
as wo found them there. As tho county
treasurer has culled for all outstanding
warrunts endorsed prior to January 1st,
18!)!), those warrants are practically
paid, because tho cash is on hand w ith
which to redeem them. This being tho
case, the debt of the county amounts to
just tho amount of warrants issued
in 1890. The county clerk's register
of warrants being more reliable iu. tho
matter than tho treasurer's register,
for tho reason that many warrants may
be issued that havo not been pres
ented for endorsement, renders the
statement absolutely correct. These
figures we find to be $20,170.27, not in
eluding the warrants to be issued on the
1st of January next, for officers' salaries
for December, which amount will be
$184.15, added to the former figures,
gives the entire debt of the county on the
first day of next January, which will be
$20,054.42 principal and about $1000 in
terest, tlie total being $21, 054. About
$40,000 ot debt has been paid this year.
C
Tlie prospects for Columbia county
paying a, larger amount of state tax
this year than last, us we have stated
before, are very good. Were this not
the case it would be more in reason with
sound judgment to presume that a levy
for road purposes would be made by the
county on tho first of tho year, and of
course, it is not certain that such will
not bo done. When tho county court
made the levy last January, it was nec
essary to lower the levy for oounty pur
poses 2 mills because tho state levy
was raised that much, and which, of
course, cheated 'the county out of that
amount, because tho entire levy was no
greater than in previous years. If it is
possible to levy .a tax for road purposes
and by doing so not materially raise the
levy; wo believe such action should be
taken. The law under which proceed
ings of this nature will be conducted
will revolutionize methods .of collecting
road tax. For instance, instead of the
siiervisor warning people out to per
form two davs work on the highways,
tho individual will bo charged up with
$2 on tho tax roll, which will be col
lected bv the sheriff and turned over to
the treasurer, in whose custody it will
remain until drawn out only upon a
warrant issued direct noon the road
fund, under which name all moneys so
collected shall bo known. Good roads
Vie nc such an important motor in tno
development nnd progression of a county
or community, wo believe any plan
which promises improvement over tne
prosent method of road making would
be welcomed bv a majority of tlie peo
l . v know' that the present method
is almost worthless, and if some inno
vation is indulged in wnicn, ntter trim,
((..velnns no better results, we could
easily enough return to the old plan.
But certainly anything would be better
than the method now in vogue. The
plan of paving $2 into the treasury in
stead of working two days on tho roads
is certainly n aim for better things,
which it is to be hoped will be adopted
us soon as it practicably can be.

Twenty-five Years' Constant Use
Without a Failure.
The first-indication of croup is hoarse
ness, and in a child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as a sure sign of
the approach of an attack. Following
this hoarseness is a peculiar rough
cough. If Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is given as soon as the child becomes
hoarse, or even after tlie croupy cough
appears.it will prevent tin attack. It
is usea in many inousanus oi pomes in
this broad hind, and never disappoints
the anxious mothers. We havo yet to
learn of s single instance in which it
has not proved effectual. No other
preparation can show such a record
