Tnt Mercantile Tax.
Auditor General Myliu has issued a cir
cular letter t county commissioners In
relation to the duties of the mercantile
appraiser. He Insists that appraisers shall
personally visit all stores or other places
of business liable to mercantile tax, and
says that no license is to be assessed
mhere the annual amount of sales is less
than fl.lKl. If dealers in liquors sell
other goods than liquors, then they must
pay a license for the sale of such goods.
Iu ail counties the appraiser must furnish
the county treasurer a certified list of
dealers, m ith their classifications.
In accordance with a recent eleeisiou of
the supreme court, dealers in live stock
are exempt, and they must not tie assess
ed. Butchers who sell tho meat of ani
mals tbey have slaughU'red are also ex
empt, but (hose butchers who purchase
cattle already killed and sell the dressed
meat, are liable to the payment of lie-ense.
All foreign or resident dealers or firms
mho have a shop for the sale of meat
apart from the slaughter-house must be
taxed.
Under an opinion of the attorney gen
eral appraisers are instrmled to assess all
owners eif restaurants, eating houses, etc.,
not selling liquors. Provision has l'eu
made by the department for returning
this class of licenses.
A Wonderful Record.
Mr. Leonard Fosdick, General Agent
here of The Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, is just iu receipt of a letter from
Manager Woods, of the Western Penn
sylvania Agency, giving the wonderful
record made by it during the year that
has Just closed, which ought to be espe
cially gratifying to people in this vicinity.
It undoubtedly shows not only the un
bounded confidence which the business
men in Western Pennsylvania have in
Equitable insurance, but the general
wealth and prosperity of this part of the
country as well. The -asli business writ
ten by the Agency during l-J'7 aggregated
07t),!Cs; an increase ef 1,K.7,1 over
the preced ing year, tis applications from
II different agenln, aggregating f717,-"i,'!ui
w ere received on the last day of the year.
The Western Pennsylvania Agency of
tho Equitable ranks as one of the largest
Lifo Agencies in the woild, and has upon
its books probably a larger jiercentage of
heavily assured men than any other
agency. living to the tremendous in-
cr use in business during Is;-", it has lieen
compelled to enlarge its main e flices at
Pittsburg, and from now on w ill occupy
the entire seventh Moor cf tho great
Tradesmen's Building, Pittsburg. The
otlk-es now include 21 j-ooins and cover
4,300 feet of floor space ; yet, large as they
are, they are none too large for the wou
derful volume of business done.
Manager Edward A. Woods, who is at
the head of this Agene-y, announces sev
eral new policies which are just being
put on the market, aud which have in
them some new and attractive features
in life-assurance.
Mr. Fosdick, who looks after the agents
in 3ti m estern counties of this state, closed
December m ith 20 policies for ftrtuo in
seven counties, including Somerset.
A Kew Building For Onr Insane.
As matters now stand a new fire proof
building for our insane is rapidly lieim-
ing an imperative necessity. Such a
building should contain at least forty, or
forty-five rooms, and wita all needed ap
pliances for the comfort, care and training
of the inmates, would cost not less thau
f 12,001. The present building for the in
sane contains but sixteen rooms and is
practically fire proof. There are now fit
teen inmates under the care of the keep
ers in this building. Besides these, thirty
or more of the county's insane are at Dix-
mout, Wernersvllle or other institutions
iu the state for treatment and care. The
cost to the county for these thirty unfort-
u nates is slightly over $.!,00 annually.
This is a heavy drain upon our tax payers,
one that should lie stopped at the earliest
practicable moment. The cost of such a
building alone is iu the way, together
with the huge county debt piled upon us
by the Combine mismanagement of the
six years eif the County Commissioners,
euding Jauuary 1, IsjC. The State pays
for the care and maintenance of each of
these f 1.50 per week and it goes without
saying that they would be better and more
cheaply maintained at borne than else

the building m ould pay for itself in fi ve
yesirs or less. There is the m.st pressing
necessity for such action, but tbecoudi-
ion of our finauces, for the reason above
given, is such that the proposition, advan
tageous as it unloubte i!y is, should be
carefully considered. Y"e make mere

A Real Newspipcr.
Perhaps the most commendable feature
of the progressive newspaper of to-day,
outside of its ability to colie'ctand gather
the news of the world, is its independ
ence aud courage to spe-uk out ljld!y on
ail j-jt.tion9 effecting the public. weaL
Sue-h a pi'.per, it :s needless to add, is the
FUlbiirg Daily Dispatch, whose position
as the letdine daily paper eif Western
Pennsylvania is undisputed. The Dis
patch is not the mouthpiece eif a "Boss"
or a political clique, and has no enemies
to punish or favors to ask, unless it be its
m iHingness to accept and act upon sug
gestions w hich tend to improve hoeal.
Slate and National political alfairs. Rut
casting its ejiu rial utterances aside, the
Dispatch is a real newspaper, having its
own exclusive wires to all of the leading
capitals of the world, aud an able corps
of news gatherers who present the news
ot the world usually in advance of its lo
cal contemporaries. Another feature of
the Dispatch, much admired by all of its
regular readers, is the way in which it
classifies its news,, market reports, Ac,
so that the reader knows exactly where
to look for what he isseeki-jg. For years
past the Dispatch has paid special atten
tion to securing the developenient of
ittsburg and the contiguous territory.
and no Pittsburg paper has done as much
in this direction.
The Sunday Dispatch during the year
promises to eJ ipse all former efforts in
the way of preserving its reputation as
one of the best Sunday papers in the
country. Among sther features will be
weekly letters from Frank G. Carpenter,
m ho has engaged to travel 2."i,."J miles
through South America, that vast semi
civilized conlincut, couct.rning mhie
people and institutions so little is known.

Of Interest to ConsUb'.e Aal Taxpayers.
At an argument court held in Bedford
last week by agreement of counsel the
following facts were submitted to his
Honor, Judge Longececker, for detemii
n aiiou:
David Earnest, in the case of the Com-
tn nwea!th vs. Frye, as coustable of Bed
ford borough, served a sutipo-na upou two
witnesses and claims for said service the
sum of one dollar, fifty cents for tch ser
vice. The act of assembly of IsjB allowed
a fee of fifteen ccuLs, but tha act of ISol
provides tiny cents for serving a subrse-
na.
The plaintiff, David Earnest, 'jras paid
th9 sum of fifty cents by the commission
ers of Bedford county; he demands one
dollar. Kibe court is of opinion that the
a-t of 103 allows a constable fifty
cents for each service of a subpteua, then
judgment is to be rendered in favor of
plaintiff for fifty cents, and if the court is
of opinion that a constable is only entitled
to afi eof fifty cents iorasubpo-na regard
less of the number of names on the sub
p.ena, then judgment shall be rendered
against the plaintiff. The case is an iin-
p irtant one and the court's decision is
looked for m ith interest.

The County Home physician. Dr. II. S.

peculiar cases, since most of the initial.?

at an age m hen they arc no longer ab'e to
perforin manual lalior. Perhaps the
physician's greatest annoyance tonus
from those inmates who are addicted to
the liquor or morphine habit, when noth
ing satisfies their craving exefpt. tho
stimulant that has brought thein lo the
position where they are dependent up m
the charity of the county. A- a matter of
course Dr. Kimmel declines to prescribe
alcoholic stimulants or morphine and as
a result Le is tho sul j.s-t of much abuse
at the hallos of those w ho see-k either or
both, and in many eases is subjected to
slandereius re-ports circulated by inmates
who are permitted to leave the home.
Only last meek a confirmed vic.im of
