grant school building shortly before noon t today oday that it was not so to is due to two causes the first and most important of which was the splendid discipline exhibited in emptying the building of pupils after the discovery of the fire and the second was the slow progress the blaze made before the arrival of the fire department after the alarm had been sent in the fire broke out on the north side of the roof near the smoke stack and was caused by soot which had fallen from the chimney and become ignited by a spark the blaze was first seen by a boy who was going down the street he immediately notified principal martin and the engineer the former with all possible dispatch communicated ted with each teacher and commanded a dismissal of all the pupils who at a given signal left

the ath dinst in which you submit several questions and suggest a theory in relation thereto permit me to say that your theory seems to be in accordance with the conclusion reached by this office when you were in the city some days ago As to the question whether the board of equalization of a county has authority to abate taxes of indigent persons I 1 beg to say that this question has arisen in other counties but not until after some abatements had been made under the mistaken notion that they had the power to do so I 1 have suggested to the state auditor that perhaps it might be well not to exact of counties the states portion of such abatements for the year 1897 but that he should issue notices to all of the counties that for the year 1898 and thereafter no such abatements would be permitted to be made as in my judgment they are unconstitutional and void FROM MONDAYS DAILY JANUARY 24 stephen B newman owner of the 11 76 saloon died at his home yesterday after an illness of nearly
