The LaCette Statesman has the fol
lowing to say about the National
Vice president:
I'VE don't know whether Kansas
Ben is red-headed or not, but we
venture the prediction that this variety
of Clover will be very popular in Kan
sas this year.
"The Statesman this week contains
a portrait of the next Governor of
Kansas soldier, farmer, patriot,
statesman. The people of the State
can safely trust him to knock out the
rings, lop off the dead beats, purge
the State house of corruption, and run
the State government in the interest
of economy, retrenchment and re-
form"

THE TAX.
A Suit Begun for Testing its Constltu-
tionality--The American Fer
tilizer Company the

The contest about the fertilizer tax
has eliminated in an action for a man
damus, commenced by the American
Fertilizer Co., OF Norfolk, Va, against
the State Treasurer and the Commits,
sioner of Agriculture, to compel them
to issue a license to the company, al,
though it pays under protest.
The position taken by the company
is, that the tax in question is not only
unconstitutional, but that it is unjust
and unequal in its operation, compel
ing small dealersto pay as much on a
single brand as large dealers
The company claims that a tonnage
tax, of so much OF each ton sold, is
the only way to tax fertilizers, and
dealers would not object to it.
The American Fertilizer Go. intend
to contest the validity of the $500
license tax to the court of last resort.
and in case they shall be successful
they intend to refund to each farmer
who purchases their peruvian Mix
ture" this year, twenty-five cents OF
each and every ton purchased

Having been a great sufferer, from child
hood, the result of protracted chills and indi-
gestion, terminating in diseases OF LIVER,
KIDNEY and URINARY ORGANS, and having
tried many remedies known to the profession
with only temporary relief. After much ex-
perimenting, I succeeded in discovering a
combination of vegetable remedies, which
combination has proven a emedy for diseases
of all the internal organs superior to any
known in a life OF suffering and practice of
fifty years. AS by it I have been restored
from what seemed to be inevitable death to
perfect hearth, without any other medicine,
for those diseases over three years past. It
also enabled me to travel all the winter of
1888 and 1889, in the mountains, in all kinds
of weather, and eating any and everything set
before me with impunity. 1t has since cured
me of chills and prevented my taking ella
grippe" and relieved those of the late cpl
demic who tried it. It is also proving valua-
