A short time after a stack of hay owned by Mr. Roberts was burned and last week a new barn owned by J. C. Coles in south part of the town was discovered to be on lire and was totally destroyed and it was only by hard work that his new house and other buildings were saved. Fri day afternoon another alarm was giv en and the barn of H. Monholand was found to be on fire and in a short time was burned to ashes. It was a total loss as there was no insurance. Lee Fox, a 10-year-old boy of Jasper Fox, was suspected of setting the last lire and when arrested by Marshal Swift he confessed to setting all of the above tires, also Betting fire to his father's shop.—Mitchell County Press.

Last Wednesday evening nearly 25 young men of the town gathered there to practice ball. The last Board of Re view In the city council room of Cres co, raised the taxed valuation of these grounds from $1,600 to $4,000, or near ly 143^ dollars per acre more than any blocks of land of Its size around it. This is rather hard pay and very poor thanks to the stockholders of this cor poration—the Cresco Driving Park— for its liberality shown to the public in the past, and very poor encourage ment for the continuance of the same. —From the PLAIN DEALER of May 3. Were it not that the above state ment is so far from the real facts in the case the undersigned would have passed the matter b^, leaving the pub lie to judge for itself as to the justicc of raising the assessed valuation of the Fair Grounds but as the gentle man who wrote the above article was present with "the last Board of Re view in the city council room of Cres co" when the assessment was raised from $1,600 to $3,000—not $4,000—and expressed himself as being satisfied with the action of the "Board of Re view, it seems strange thathe should give for publication an article so mis leading. As to the justice of raisiDg the as sessed valuation of these grounds will say that "the stockholderslof this cor poration" have been offered $4,500 for the grounds and the offer is now good. The "Board of Review" owes the tax payers an explanation for not raising the assessed valuation to the cash offer of $4,500 on same. One reason for not doing so may be given, is that the "Board" gave due consideration to the "liberality shown the public in the past. BOARD or REVIEW. As the real estate pit of the Board of Review has spoken and made an other bid, and as the writer of this article met with the Board of Beview on April 15, 1901, in behalf of the Cresco Driving Park, the above criti cism may place me before the public as saying something that had never happened, therefore I give the public the benefit of the notice dated at the council chamber in Cresco, April 9, 1901. To the Cresco Driving 'Park (Fair Grounds:) You are hereby notified that at the adjourned regular meeting of the Board of Review of the city of Cresco, Iowa, held at the council chamber in said city, April 9,1901, that your as sessment on the Cresco Driving Park was raised from $1,600 to $4,000, and you are hereby required to appear be fore the Board on the 15th day of April 1901, and show cause (if any you have), why such assessment should not be made. P. C. HOWE, Clerk of the Board or Review, city of Cresco, Iowa. On the dated mentioned in that notice I met with the Honorable Board of Review and am thankful for Its cut of $1,000 in the assessment, and said that "if they thought it right I would have to be satisfied with it, right or wrong. But I am more dissatisfied with the malicious insinuation, bearing the ear marks of its author, than with the assessment, and cannot allow it to go unnoticed as it is a direct assault upon the association. In assessing property for the pur pose of taxation, I know of no better method than comparing it with like property around it. On the night I met with the Board of Review I ex plained to that body that theimrove ments and buildings on the grounds were mostly the property of the How ard County Agricultural Society and should not be taxed to the Driving Park Association, and 1 still think so. Other real estate as feasibly located, nearer to the town, with valuable im provements belonging to the owners of the land are assessed at $05.00 per acre, while the land of the driving park without valuable building of its own is assessed at nearly $200.00 per acre. It is to the inji^stice of this discrimination that the driving park association complains. Either its land is assessed too high, or the ad joining lands too low, and the Board of Review can take which ever horn of the dilemma it chooses. While we were making this explan ation to the Honorable Board of Re view one of its members offered $4,000 fur this property, and before I left the room he raised his own bid to $4,500, and now over the signature "Board of Review" he makes another bid of $4,500. What does the public suppose the Roard of Review wants of the fair grounds'? Now the "thrifty" end of this "Board of Review" would be just as safe in offering $9,000 for this'proper ty as he is in offering what he has, as it is not for sale at an price. We are very much obliged to .-o gentleman for his broad, liberal thought in "giving due con&iQcmtion to the liberal ity shown the public in the past," as we are sure that that will go a long way toward keeping the boards on the fence and shingles on the roof. While the Cresco Driving Park Ras been a private corporation, it has also been a public one. It has been a bene fit to Cresco,and with the assistance of the Howard County Agricultural So ciety, it has helped advertise the farmer, the mechanic, the live stock, and live stock breeders of Howard county. The public has po|c ted to it with pride, it has been use(ft,y a cer tain class of the people of Cresco ever since it was built, 13 years ago, and is being so used today bv the public in a way that no private individual can refuse. All of this has been done without one cent of donation to its stockholders since its organization, I^'-iA *4K *3* P"".. |i PUBLISHED TUESDAYS ANP FRIDAYS CR&SCO MARKETS (Oorreoted each. Issue.)

These are some of the nice boquets that the above items bring forth, and they are very becom ing the gentleman who brings them, posing as "Board of Review." But we still move on with the approval of the public and an assurance to our friends that we will still continue to try and maintain, as we have in the past, one of the best county tracks and grounds in the state. Our merchants and husiness men have been interested, and there is not a town in the state nor surrounding country, where the stores and busi ness houses have been more liberal, and have closed up and been willing to close their places of business to at tend entertainments held on these grounds, than have they done in Cres co, and these grounds are not open to speculation, and we don't understand why such bribes should be taften as a basis of valuations, entirely ignoring the values on on other property around it C. D. NICHOLS, Sec'y of Cresco Driving Park. Suicide Near Plymouth Rock. Last Wednesday afternoon the body of James Mathews, a farmer living in Burr Oak township near Plymouth Rock, was found by members of the family, hanging by the neck from a tree, a short distance from the house. Mr. Mathews was about 76 years old and was well known in that part of the county, where he had lived for many years. He came in from his work to dinner on Wednesday as usual, remaining a while after the meal about 2 o'clock left the house and went to the barn, not returning to the house again. About 5 o'clock the family becoming alarmed at the prolonged absence, went in seach of him, and found him hanging to a tree not over 100 feet from the house. He had procured a halter from the barn, fastened it to a limb of the tree, which was not above the reach of an ordinary sized person, stepped upon a chair and adjusting a noose about his neck, kicked the chair from under his feet. When cut down by the Sheriff and the others his feet were resting upon the ground. Blood covered his face from a wound inflicted in the morning by his wife striking him with a piece of wood during a family quarrel, which we understand were not infrequent. Domestic difficulties were undoubtedly the cause of his taking his life. He leaves a widow and several grown sons and daughters. —Decorah Journal. GREGORY MAHSHALL.
