The assessor's report for 1587, showed the valuation of our town to be a little over 8,000, while the report just completed shows our city to the amount of nearly 16,000, for real property, and the basis is considered at about of the market value, which would accordingly be $48,000. Add to this the personal property of our citizens and merchants, which swells the figures to 175,000, and considering the fihort time and adverse circumstances under which we have labored, Webster can safely look forth to a grand and prosperous future. The assessed valuation of our school district is close to 26,000, which warrants us as good school facilities as any gister town. Truly Webster can bo relied on by any industrious, law-abiding citizen of the as a lucrative place to invest his money, and an excellent place to rear a family and enjoy the fruits ofa bounteous farming community, as well as the society of an industious, sober, thrifty people.

have already made one mistrial of this case because you did not pay attention to the charge of the court, and I don't want you to do it again. I intend to make it so clear to you this time that you cannot possibly make an mistake. This suit is upon a note given for a promissory horse. I hope you understand that. Now, if you find that at the time of tho sale Smith had the glanders and Jones knew it Jones cannot recover.

That is clear, gentlemen. I will state it again. If you find that at the timo of the side Jones had the distemper and Smith knew it, then Smith cannot possibly recover. But, gentlemen, I will state it a third time, so that you cannot possibly make a mistake. If at the time of the sale Smith had tho glanders and Jones had the distemper, and tho horse knew it, then neither Smith, Jones nor tho horse can recover.

He is also an expert telegraph operator. As soon as they were seated, one of the young ladies began to size him up; then placing her knife blade between the tines of her fork, she imitated a telegraph sounder and telegraphed to her companions: "Got onto his nobs with the big diamond." Woolley caught on at once and as all the girls had turned their attention to him, he, in tho same manner, telegraphed: "Ah, there! are you all on A general stampede of ladies followed and they dined soim-whoro else that day.
