Mr.. W. L. Chapln. tax commissioner Of
the Northern Pacific, was IN town Satur-
day and made a proposition to the county
board to the effect that, if that body
would reduce the tax valuation On rail,
road lands to rs cents per acre, the COM
pany would pay up at once. The board,
however, believing such reduction unjust
to other taxpayers, refused to accept the
PROPOSAL.

A request was made by Mr.. Waldroff
to have recount of the ballots cast for
sheriff at the Wllliamsport and Denham
polls. The commissioners decided that
they could not legally change the result
as shown by the figures returned by the
Judges in the poll.beoks but the mem
bers of the board concluded to make an
informal recount Of the ballots cast at the
two precincts. The vote at Denham' S
was found to tally with the Judges re-
turn; but the recount Of Williamsport
took four votes from Waldroff and added
them to MCGEE, making A for the latter
and 13 tor the former, which would give
McGcc plurality of 10 in the county
and would have made the vote stand:

A Poisonous Suggestion.

These are the days of curious theories.
We see 1t seriously advanced as good
thing for a busy man to occasionally get
drank. 1t il said in favor Of the sugges-
tioa that it gives his overworked brain q
chance for good rest. The advice is
supposed to have special weight for hard
worked newspaper men and those who
always carry their cares with them.
Drunkenness is the balm prescribed for the
worn-0ut brain worker.
CJu'd anything have more of poison ia
IL than this suggestion 7 There are thous-
Ands on the brink of giving way to their
sppetites for drink, who would welcome
just such pretext as this for the salts

been struggling to hold themselves from
The reach Of the tempter are insidiOusly
told that = prolonged spree is thing not

fall which man, fashioned after Gcd's
image, makes when he becomes besotted
with drink. From the kipgly state Of
greatest Of created beings, he fails to the
lowest place 10 the brute creation.

We have already commented upon the

to daily dose the entire community,
Irrespective OF its physical needs or all
ments, with lime sui phstes aud phosphates,

1t seems almost incredible that any sane

daily use, the claim that II contains amongst
It's impurities q drug which under certain
conditions IL properly prescribed by q
ply sician might be useful rs med icine.
physicians Will at once see that to endorse
any such theory as this Is even more dan
Rerous than to recommend to their patients
the indiscriminate use OF the various patent
medicines advertised on every hand rs
specifics for all the diseases which hesh Ia
heir to.
In the recent examination OF baking
powders made by the Ohio State Food
Commission the phosph baking or yeast
powders were found to contain large
quantities OF lime phosphates, lime sui
pilates, etc, which appeared ~ impurities.
Their man nufacturers have 80 far found 1t
impossible to get rid OF these impurities,
and this probably accounts for their re.
markable claim that such impurities are
good for us to eat
The preposterous character OF this claim
Is evident from the fact we'll known 10 all
ply sicians that the body gets with its
ordinary food more lime phospha, q thaa

Pure and wholesome baking powders,

A Good Move.

Many OF the most progressive mer.
chants OF Lancaster, have signed paper
agreeing to close their stores on Memorial
day from the noon hour. 1t is a proper
thing to do. We do not have enough
holidays. Life becomes too much of a
tread mill, when there are no oases In the
desert Of work on which we may browse
Tor time, forgetful Of the goad of neces.
sity that 80 many feel in the laboring
hours. Business jealousy keeps some
merchants from agreeing to close on pub.
lie holidays. and their action shows them
TO have less public spirit than private sci.
hshness.
But while our merchants were on this
question, why did they not close for the
whole day =? II all would do so, none
would suffer. And if proper advertise
ment Of the fact was made, the rural
customers would not complain. But a
half loaf is better than no bread, and SO the
local merchants are to be congratulated
on taking step which, If not as com.
plete as 1t might be, is still step in the
right direction.

Matters in France have quiet and
peaceable appearance at present, but there
are indications Of brewing storm. The
rsstleas Royalists, Imperialists and
Radicals are doing some heavy thinking
while they read and criticise Boulanger's
book on the war and speculate as to the
next move Of the general. There is no
announcement as yet that any clear plan
OF constitutional revision has been
adopted by his followers, and the nearest
approach to declaration Of policy Is his
assertion that he has q plan, but will
keep 1t secret. Members OF the Right
have decided to hold a banquet and issue a
prQpunciamento setting forth their aims,
f, nit is hardly likely that this instrument
wiz deal in anything except rlittering
geueralities.
Meanwhile Senate committee has
given to the advocates of single
chamber ground FOR telling argument.
The committee on the Panama canal loan
has reported the scheme fayorably,
although 1t has been plainly shown that
the company had again and again violated
its pledges and deluded trusting and
patriotic Frenchmen. 1t was shown that
by the Eifel contract, a triaing guarantee
only was given for the fulfilment Of con-
tract involving the expenditure Of many
millions /; that N. Eifel, the builder Of
tho famous iron tower, was quite safe no
matter what might happen to the COM
pany by reason of his failure to fulfil the
contract and member boldly charged
that the great tower rising over Paris
Was being built with the money Of
Panama shareholders. 1t will not matter
70 o Paris mob whether it is true or not,
and 1t is quite likely that mob will ap-
pear when the Panama company finally
disappears with all its burden Of loans
That calamity appears as certain as the
rising OF the sun, and it may come before
tho equally inevitable crisis OF parlia-
mentary dissolution.

Nsf m Imprsyement.

The Ssxton electoral reform bill now

nature Il sharply criticised BY the New
Yea Sun, and certainly appears to be
ncoe unwieldly and awk ward device for
securing the purity and freedom of the
ballot. 1t is modelled upon the English
system OF compartments for voters, In
which the ballots must be prepared Each
voter il provided with ballot printed at
public expense and having the names OF
Ill candidates put In the field by conven.
tions or by q stated number Of citizens.
The voter must indicate his preference by
marking with cross the name of the
person or persons for whom be intends to
vote, and Ave minutes Is fixed as the
limit Of time that will he given for this
operstion. He must then pass out and
deposit his vote. II he cannot read. he
must inform the ballot inspectors how he
Wishes to vote. The object of thislast pro.
vision is said to secure the secrecy Of the
ballot, but 1t evidently puts dangerous
power in the hands Of the inspectors, and
there il certainly greater secrecy in the old
plan by which the illiterate voter may
rely upon tried friend to fix his ballot
Tor him. The Sun pertinently asks who

UCome on the Roof.o

The Presbyterian general assembly In
session in Philadelphia has found way
to make Its proceedings quite as enter.
tanning as the trial of DR.. Woodrow by
the Southern general assembly for his
views on evolution.
The assembly In Philadelphia goes
back to days before the war for a i've
topic, and becomes very much exciteo
over the color.line In the church, WINE
the assembly in Baltimore concerns itself
with new and hardly developed ques-
tlons OF the relations Of q scientific
theory TO religion. The unprog ressive
South Is boldly dealing with aquestion
that seems as far in advance Of the
thought of the day as the color line Is be-
hind it. Clergymen in Philadelphia are
showing more bitterness In debate than
old soldiers who fought It out years ago
on the field OF battle. The latter, along
with very large majority Of the nation,
are content to let the matter alone for
adjustment one way or another by Provi-
dence, and by tacit consent, discussion Of
the destiny of the race has been generally
abandoned.
The Southern assembly is perhaps
forced to devote time and thought to
evolution, but there is homely popular
expression that contains food for deep
thought and is quite appropriate to both
assemblies. When there Is 80 much
work to be done within the church, II
would be we'll to "come of the roof"

THE surveyors Of the Kansas City, Ell

interesting discoveries on their route, which
passes through q country very little known
and avoided by travellers on account Of the
scarcity OF water. Great beds Of lava and

activity In comparatively modern times and
the railroad will pass near the ruins OF
Grau Gulvers, Q mysterious ancient city,

proportions. Perhaps . buried city may
