What is alleged to l>e the largest locomotive in the world passed up the Lehigh Valley road a few days ago on its way to St. Louis exposi tion. it was built at the Baldwin Locomtoive Works for the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe road, where it will be put into service when the fair closes. Its length is seventy-six feet and are fourteen wheels under the engine exalusive of the tender; ten driving wheels fifty-six inches high, with side rod connection, one pair of pony trucks and one pair of trailers. The monster machine is equipped with tandem compound cylinder. The steam test is 215 pounds, while the working pressure is 225 pounds to the square inch. The tank capacity for water is 8">00 gallons and the en gine is designed to use coal or oil. the engine will be set up on rollers and with steam up will be running every exhibition day at St. Louis. Estates Depreciate in Valve. '•You can't tell how much a man is worth until he's dead," remarked i a friend in our presence the other day. The fact of it is, a man's pro perty depreciates in value the mo ment his death is announced, for then it must be disposed of accord ing to the process of the law and pro- j perty at forced sale rarely brings as j much as it would under other cir cumstances. While a man is living he may refuse to sell if the ottered is j not satisfactory, and he may take ! the time to look for a more libera) buyer. The administrator or execut or cannot do this, as a rule but must 1 convert the property into money us [ soon as possible in order to satisfy ( the creditors or heirs. The market 1 is limited to a number of persons who gather at a specified time to bid upon it and the price bid depends j wholly upon the competition. In view of this fact and also the fact that legal fees often makes sad inroads upon an estate, some men close up there business att'airs during ; life, selling off or dividing their pro perty, reserving only sutllicent to maintain them during the remaind er of their days, and to put them de cently under ground after death. Where this can safely be done it isj an excellent plan. The legislature of 1903 passed a new law that completely changes the former acts controlling the collection of school taxes. This act was approv ed by Governor Pennypacker April, 21st, 1903 and went into effect as soon as it was approved. It is not i necessary to publish the whole act which may be found on page 229 of the pamphlet laws. Among other 1 things in section 2it is stated 'and \ it shall be the duty of every such 1 collector on or before the first Mon- j day of June thereafter to collect and pay to the treasurer of the proper ! school district, the whole amount of the balances of the taxes charged and assessed in said duplicate except- j ing such sums from which the said school directors in their discretion j I may exonerate him." | In the section a penalty of not ex | ceeding one hundred dollars is im- j ! posed upon any tax collector who shall fail to comply with the provis- j • ions of this act. Our readers will thus see the necessity of every tax- j payer settling his school tax with the collector before June iith, 1901. If he does not he places the collector i in the predicament of being liable to | one hundred dollars fine. Choice Michigan White Seed Oats : recleaned for seeding purposes, to ! arrive this week.
