THE SILVER QUESTION.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Sit is said that
repr .sentati ;es of the administration re ell
gagged in consl itation with leading silver AL
vocatei in conLre 3s with hope OF coming
to some ,asis OF compromise by which the
C image of silver may b. restricted but not
altogether suspended. Mr.. Warner. of Ohio
has bill already prepared which he thinks
will solve the silver question. aud has sent
conf lentill circu ars co his associates i'll the
house Of representatives, setting forth its
provisions anl inviting their views AMI sug.
sestinns. He has been ia correspondence
with Treasurer Jordan also for the purpose
of securing his opinion, but that gentleman
considers the communication confidential,
md will not disclose their contents. He is
of the opinion, however, that his efforts to
force silver into circulation will convince
congressman that the present amount of sill
yer coinage is rs great as the county will
carry, aud will induce them to reduce if not
entirely suspend silver work at the mints.
1t is not believed ths administration will
make vigorous fight for the repeal of silver
coinage, but will content themselves with
AN expression of opinion in reports to con.
gress. Ohio democrats report that the at
tituie of the administration on the silver
question is embarrassing them in their cam
paign.

The CAPITAL records the presence OF
our G. W. Combs in Topeka last Satur-
day. He was on the way to Emporia to
attend the Normal school. Mr.. Combs
should be glowing example to those
wishing to get on in this world. He never
tires Of study. While dudes dance all
night, and capture, we blush to say, the
supposed hearts of foolish girls, such
men as Mr.. Combs are either studying or
taking required rest, in order that the
work of the succeeding day may be intel
igent, energetic and useful.

Sandbagred,

Ex-P Postmaster Willard was sandbagged
in Kansas City last Tuesday evening. As
it is told us, he had come there from De.
catur, ILL.,, for the purpose OF entering on
the work of travelling salesman for large
farm implement house. He had left his
family at Decatur, I'll. In the evening
named, he, in company with an uncle of
his, was attending theater in Kansas
City. Willard had occasion to 90 to the
water closet. Thebagging took place then.
He was not found by his uncle until the
next morning. The police had taken him.
not to the lookup, but to an upper apart
ment of hotel, and he was receiving
proper medical attention. Last Saturday
morning G. J. Ferris started to Kansas
City to bring Willard to the home of his
parents in this city. He arrived with him
the fore part of this week. Aside from
being BACKED about the eyes, Willard
shows no signs Of injury, though he has
kept his bed the most of the week. We
understand that he was not robbed.

nized them. That the best possible
results have been accomplished, is te
the credit of those having these
matters in charge.
For the tabular statement to
which we have already directed at
tention, we are indebted to County
Clerk Pinkham, to whom more than
to all other agencies combined the
people of Trego county are indebted
for the flow of taxes into their
money chest from Cove county. No
sane person need be told again OF
the very important part which this
revenue has played in rendering
possible the payment of our debt,
and, at the same time, reducing the
per centage of taxation.
This is splendid number OF the
WESTERN KANSAS WORLD to file
away for reference. In fact, 1t
should be left as legacy to your
children, that they may see whether
they know as well as their fathers
knew how to keep taxes away down.
As rule, the one crying public evil
If to-day is the high taxes begotten
If official mismanagement and rot

The Town of FamiIton.

The healthy advertisement of Baker &
Sons will be seen without any difficulty
by the many readers of the WESTERN
KANSAS WORLD. The success of this firm
fully attests their wisdom in demanding
the free use of printers ink. When they
have good thing for sale, they are too
wise to keep the knowledge hidden from
the people.
This is proper time for us to give some
historical data concerning the new town
which has been surveyed and plated
within the past week Its location is in
Cove county, midway between Collyer
and Buffalo Park, on beautiful stretch
of ground which commands a view of
both those places. Of course, it is on the
railroad. It contains 166 acres of land
This new town has been named Hamilton,
in honor of one of the gentlemen who
have an interest in the town site and in
thirty-six sections OF railroad lands which
who own these lands are: j. H. Rushton,
secretary of the Fairmont Town Com
pany, Fairmont, Fillmore county, Neb.; J.
o. Chase, president First National Bank,
Fairmont; Irwin B. Chase, cashier of the
same bank; E. G. Sawyer, also of Fair
mont, and J. H. Mcconnell and VIM.
Hamilton, both of Omaha, Neb, and con-
nected with the Q. P. railway.
About one hundred families of Dunk
ards will locate between now and the first
of next March at Hamilton and on the
lands extending ten miles north of that
place and twenty miles south. It is ex-
pected that building will be begun at
Hamilton within week or two.
Baker & Sons, of this place, as will be
seen by their advertisement, are agents
for that town site, as well as for the lands
lying on all sides of it for many miles
Some member of the firm will be out
there regularly to see that the require
ments OF business are met fully.

a. TAX THEME.

Elsewhere we publish an abstract
of the tax rolls of Trego county,
showing the assessed valuation for
this year Of the county, the city of
Wa-Keeney and the several school
districts, the rate Of the tax levy in
mills in each, and the amount Of the
taxes to be realized.
1t will be seen from this table that
the county levy is only six mills on
the dollar for all county purposes, a
smaller levy, it is safe to say, than
has ever been made by any other
county in this state. Last year the
county levy was ten mills, and the
previous year eleven mills. A year
ago there was bonded Indebtedness
Of $11,5O0, bearing 6 per cent. in
terest, $1,000 of the bonds
of which were redeemed by March
by the county treasurer, leaving now
outstanding $500.
While our tax levy is lower than
that of any other county in the
state-less than one-half the average
in other counties-the rate of as
sessment is equally small, being from
one-ffth to one-third Of the actual
valuation, so that the tares on the
true value Of our property are less
than two mills on the dollar.
Even with the small levy of six
mills, our county treasurer intends to
take up, next winter, the last of the
county bonds, thus wiping out the
last vestige of our Indebtedness.
That our county has, year by
year, been reducing the rate of as
sessmert and taxation, and, at the
same time, has extinguished so
much of the debt, is matter Of just
pride to our tax payers. It comes
much nearer being pleasant to pay
