GENERAL REMARKS
The Pullman Palace Car company is
| seeking to avoid the payment OF taxes on
its cars, in this state, and has carried
suit involving the question to the supreme
court of the United States, where ii IS now
pending. This is matter fraught with
vast Importance, since 1t Involves the
highest prerogative of the state, which

subject may receive your earnest atten-
ton.
| also direct your attention to the matter
of taxing express companies operating in
this state, and the necessity for statutory
provisions for the same.
The telegraph and telephone service is also
worthy OF attention, and should be brought
under proper state control or regu-
lation; the former by direct application of
law, and the latter by conterring upon
cities additional powers for the purpose.
Appropriation should be made 10 defray
the expenses OF our deiegai es TO the farm

priately celebrated in the city of New

The question OF making provision to
have Kansas represented at the Paris eX-
position is referred to, and the advisablllty

No more than three propositions to
amend the constitution can be submitted
az one time; but it cannot well be doubted
that each proposition may include all, or
any number of the sections of any article;
so that three propositions could embrace
articles-legislative, judicial and execu-
tive, for instance. The remedy by amend
ments judiciously devised, could thus be
given a width of scope sufficient to reach
at once the existing defects calling most
urgently for immediate cure.

A Handso1ne Fox SkIn.

A remarkably handsome fox skin, the property of Miss Davenport, is now at the store of Friend E. Brooks. It is to be mounted upon black bear skin and used for rug. The skin is not so noticeable as the large tail, which is nearly two feet in length and as large around as 6 common cedar hitching post. The fur of the tail is system atically ringed with alternate stripes of red, gray and black. It is not known where the fox was shot, but probably in the northern part of the State. It was evidently very old, for the hair about the mouth is gray and the part growing over the back is also of silvery gray color, such as is usually found in that specimen of fox, rarely found in this section, known as the silver gray fox. Lowrie 6 Co.,, of New York, fur dressers, say that it is the largest fox skin that has ever been cured at their establishment.

Fully Restored 10 Health.

Hon. W. H. Barnum, with his wife and daughter, left Lime Rock in special car att tsched to Conductor Colts train down the Housatonic road Thursday afternoon, en route for Mamaroneck, where they are to visit MT. Barnum's son. The ex-senator and chairman of the Democratic National com mittee has apparently recovered from his late serious illness. So bright and TO bust did he look that Conductor Colt jocosely re- marked to him: 'I have read in the papers, Mr. Barnum, about you being dangerously sick, but your appearance doesn't indicate anything of that sort" "No," replied MT. Barnum with a cheery laugh, 'the stories you refer to must have been Republican lies." MT. Barnum had certainly every ap- pearance of being fully restored to health, and was as cheery and ehipper in his man. ner as boy. The trip is the first extended one he has taken from home since he was prostrated about the date of the last election with an illness which caused his life to be despaired of.

BURGLARS AT WoRK.
A Desperate Attempt to Enter a .
 fnUa Hank

A Desperate Attempt to Eater a Saw
 1ngs Bank.
 DEEP RIVER, March S.-A desperate at- tempt was made this morning to enter the Deep River Savings bank About o'clock burglars forced an entrance through one of the side windows by breaking the shutters, after which they quickly made their way to the vault. Their efforts to break it open proved fruitless at first, and they becoming more bold began pounding heavily with their cold chisels and hammers. The noise made aroused @ man who slept in house located near the bank. He immediately started out to see what the trouble was about and de- liberately walked into the bank where the men were trying to crack the bank. They had taken the precaution to prepare another exit in case of surprise, and when they learn ed they were discovered immediately made nasty departure.
 An alarm was sounded, but all efforts to capture them have as yet proved unavailing. Two desperate characters were seen hanging around the streets yesterday and it is thought they are the buglars.
 This ia the same bank that was successful- ly entered by Jimmy Hope and his band some years ago. This morning an examins- tion of the safe door shows that the rascals had nearly gained an entrance to the vault, and with half an hour more to themselves. would have gained access within. As it happened there was not large sum of money deposited in there last night.
