D M , 0 M O STATE HAPPENINGS SUCCINCTLY TOLD BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS KHEVE7© m ILLINOIS TAXES ARK REDUCED Rate for 1902 Is Fixed «t Forty Cents on Each Hundred Dollars. Acting Gov. Northcutt and the state auditor of public accounts have fixed the state rate of taxes for 1902 at 40 cents on each $100 of valuation of tax­ able property in the state.

William Shipley, a prominent farm­ er ot Waynesville, has in his posses­ sion a remarkable relic of prehistoric man, which he dug up on his farm while plowing recently; This relic is a large-sized spear of pure copper. The metal is highly "tempered, and when suspended by a cord it gives forth a clear, ringing sound when struck by some metal instrument, it is said that this science of tempering copper has become one of the lost arts, and proves conclusively that the weapon of warfare was made by a race of people which roamed this con­ tinent long before the American In­ dian. It is claimed that the spear found by Mr. Shipley has but one counterpart, and that exists In an Eastern museum. The former is quite Aender, and as one end is tapering, It ' "rCSyiSSd it vttisi fibliiOilCd to fit into .a handle of wood. The head of the weapon is S inches broad and, hurled by a man of strength, would make a wound that could hardly help from proving fatal. The finder will probably turn the relic over to the Wesleyan university of BloOmington and it will prove a valuable addition to the museum.

Seals weie then attached to the house and the entire family taken to jail and placed at the disposition of the French Ambassador.

Frederick Temple, archbishop of Canterbury and primate of all England, who had been ill for aome time past, died December 23. The primate died of old age. The pathetic scene in Westminster abbey at the coronation of King Edward was one of the earlier indications of his failing strength. Then came the collapae in the houae of lords at the conclusion of a vigor ous speech in support of the education bill. He had not left his bed since. The bishop of Winchester is consid­ ered likely to be his successor. Dr. Frederick Temple was the soa of an officer in the army. He was born Nov. 30, 1821, was educated at the grammar school at Tiverton, and, proceeding to Oxford became scholar of Balllol college and took his degree of B. A. in 1842. He was elected fel­ low and mathematical tutor of his col­ lege,, and, having been ordained in 1846, was appointed principal of the training college at Kneller ball, near Twickenham, in 1848. This post he resigned in 1855, and after having held an inspectorship of schools dur­ ing the Interval was appointed, on the resignation of Dr. Colborn in 1858, head master of Rugby school At the general election of 1868 Curious Claim for Pension. Clarence Orr, formerly in company B, Seventh infantry, has applied for a pension, basing his claim on a remark­ able set of circumstances. While on guard duty last year In the Philippines he had trouble with a comrade and both were taken before Lieut Bell. The latter ordered that they settle their-difficulty next morning by a fist light until one of them could battle no more. Orr and the other man obeyed, the former sustaining a com­ pound fracture of the right band. He claims that had he refused to fight he would have been guilty of insubordi­ nation, and he Is backed up in this ciftiiq by pension lawyers and military men. Dr. Temple took an active part in Warwickshire in support of Mr. Gladk stone's measure for the dls-establlsh- ment of the Irish church, and the pre- ^ mier nominated him to the bishopric of Exeter in succession to the late Dr. Philpotts--an appointment which. £Vv;^V:^ , . y . : . / - 3 % tlSlSlA.
