THE democratic party simply prepo-

every other business, shall pay tax fol

Of the taxing power shall be mixed up

1t stands here upon the broad and ap-
proved principle that the taxing power
ceases to be taxing power, and be-
comes something else, when it is used
for any other than its legitimate pur.

only is broad common sense democrat

poses to license an existing business

A little Chinese girl was buried in
Evergreen Cemetery, in New York, the
ether day, in way that would seem
very odd to an American child. Red
candles, which emitted disagreeable
odor, were burned at the house, and at
the grave fire was kindled to burn all
Of the giri's clothing. Into this the rel
atives kept throwing white powder,
which burned with blueish light. The
Chinese believe that Satan has fash
ion of racing to the grave and seizing
the body as soon as it arrives, so, on the
way there, the friends keep tossing bits
of paper out of the carriage window,
which Satan was supposed to pick up
and read, thus allowing the procession
to reach the cemetery first.

Every one who has watched the rain
clouds in Florida on summer day must
have been struck by the fact that
they do not come on the wings of the
wind from some other region, and sour
ry across the sky, and over the earth,
accompanied by devastating winds, but
on the contrary they gather in the clear
sky with little movement except an ex-
pansion on every side, and pour out
their rain and disappear as they came,
in the dark blue sky.

The general assembly of the Presby-

against prohibition as a distinctive

the renewed efforts to check intemper-

rection. The church, for its sake, for
the sake of its work, for the sake of
souls, cannot too quickly dissolve part

The beef product of Montana will fall
farshOrt this summer of what it was last.
Many of our best posted cattle growers
estimated that the seasons shipments
will not reach last years figures by SO
per cent. This is principally due to the
exceedingly large loss of calves during
the hard winter three years ago. Near
ly all the fall branding and considera-
BILE number of the spring branding per-
ished that winter. The usual age of
marketing beeves has been at four years
old, but the good prices last year in
duced most stock growers to sell their
three-year-olds. The yield was light
however, owing to the black leg, which
played such havoc among calves the
year previous to the hard winter. Next
year, however, the harvest will be good,
and confined largely to four year olds, as
extensive growers have learned that
they committed an error in marketing
their steers before they reached that
age, and there is great outcome in
three-year-olds, besides at the age of
four they are better fitted for the mar
ket.-Rocky Mountain Husbandman.

In the last two years the State of Col
orado paid upwards of $26, 900 bounty
for the destruction of the poisonous
plant called loco weed. Almost all the
the money went to two or three coun-
ties in the southern part, Conejos and
Costilla being the principal claimants.
The wisdom of paying a bounty for
this weed has been seriously questioned
by many who claim that instead of hay
ing the effect intended the bounty has
become a premium on production as it
is more profitable under the law to raise
loco than anything else.
But there is no room for doubt re-
garding the injury done to cattle and
horses by this poisonous plant. The
cattle growers of the infected section
have suffered severe losses by the pois-
oning of their horses and cattle and
they are still seeking in vain for either
a preventive or an antidote for the
weed.-Denver News.

THE fact that good health strong muscles
and sound nerves are attainable should en-
courage every invalid to an earnest endeavor
in the right direction. Remember all disease
owes its origin more or less to a lack Of iron in
the blood. Iron in the blood means health
strength and vigor. Analyze the blood of an
invalid and little or no iron can be found
Healthy mems blood is full of iron. The best
method OF Simplifying this lack Of iron is by
using Browns Iron Bitters, sure cure for
dyspepsia, general debility, weakness and all
wasting diseases.

Browns Iron Bitters are very popular and
their use always results satisfactorily"
