A QUESTION OF TAXATION.
Bank Capital Invested in United State
Bonds Subject to TAXATION. -

Bank Capital Invested in United States
Bonds Subject to Taxation.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. THE officers
of the National banks of Stafford
County are greatly exercised over the
question of taxation of the institutions
and County Attorney Morgan has come
to Topeka to consult the Attorney
General on the subject. The banks
contend that if any portion of their
capital stock is invested in United
States bonds they are entitled to have
that amount of their stock so invested
deducted from the amount of the bank
stock to be taxed acc ording to the Kan
sas law. Attorney General Kellogg is
of the opinion that this is wrong. He
says that the only portion of the cap
ital stock of bank which could be
deducted from the original assessment
of the paid up capital stock is such por.
ton as may be invested in real estate,
of which the bank holds the title in fee
simple, and in such cases the real estate
is assessed and taxed as other lands in
the county in which the bank is located.
No deduction, he claims, can be made
from the original assessment Of the
capital stock f the bank by reason of
the fact that any portion it may be in
vested in United States, bonds.

In some cases the skin becomes hot
and dry, particularly the feet and
hands in others, Sgain, the feet and
hands are cold, and there is great heat
in the body and head. Sometimes
there are sharp pains, front and back,
under the shoulders, and there may be
chronic diarrhea. The tongue is usual
ly coated, and often there is nausea and
vomiting after meals. The appetite is
variable. generally poor, and there is
often an excessive flow of saliva. The
patient suffers from an increased fever
during the night, frequently perspires
while asleep and is troubled with
"heartburn." Generally the face is
flushed or the skin becomes sallow, and
sometimes there is dry, hacking cough,
while the voice is hoarse and husky.
Not all of the foregoing symptoms
are present in every case. The more
complicated the disease has become,
the greater the number and diversity
of symptoms. Generally the liver is
torpid and many times the kidneys
more or less involved.
1t is in the cure of this distressing
malady that DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery has acquired worldwide
fame. No matter what stage the dis

Celebrating backbone Dav.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Andrew Jack
son day was celebrated by the Demo
Gratis at New York last night in an en-.
thusiastic manner. Probably the most
elaborate affair of the kind in this
country was the dinner of the
Business Mems Democratic Club
at the Hoffman House, which at
tracted more attention than any other
affair Of the season. The dinner was
largely in honor of the election of the
following Democratic Governors:
Boies, of Iowa; Campbell, of Ohio;
Mckinney, of Virginia; Albeit,
of New Jersey, and Toole, of Montana.
Albeit was the only one of the distin-
guished men mentioned who found it
possible to attend. All the others sent
letters of regret, as did also ex-Presi-

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 9.-The annual
meeting of the Bar Association of Kan

NOTES FOR NATURALlsTs.

NEARLY all the insects, crustaceans,
worms, snails and the like go into win

TIE Chinese sacred lily is narcissus
belonging to the polyanthus group. It
can be grown in bowls or shallow dishes
filed with small pebbles and kept well

IT is said that q singular fact con-

spot on the earth-the Andaman Islands.
Everywhere else it must be raised from

THE LIBERTY TRAGEDY.

silly Young Wffe's Improper Relation
with the Attorney the cause OF Hez
Husbands Tragic Death.
LIBERTY, Mo-, Jan. 9.-The terrible
tragedy of Tuesday night resulting in
the death of John Lewton mot Luy-
ton, as previously spelled, was the di-
rect outgrowth of the illicit love of the
young, dark-haired and pretty girl
wife and ex-Prosecuting Attorney
James L. Sheetz, his slayer.
From reliable sources it has been
learned that Sheetz and Mrs. Lewton
came to this city Christmas day and
spent the afternoon together at lodg.
ing house. The news of his wife's sin
was carried to John LewtOn; he sought
her betrayer and met his death.
Lewton was unarmed, and the pre-
sumption from the evidence before
the coroner is that he went to the office
of Sheetz for the purpose of having a
verbal understanding with the lawyer,
or to punish him for what he called
in speaking to a well known citizen be-
fore the killing-the breaking up of his
home.
Lewton more than once since his re-
turn from California before Christmas
complained of an alleged over-friendli-
ness having existed between Sheetz
and Mrs. Lewton. He threatened tc
whip him for coming to Kansas City
on New Years day in company with
Mrs. Lewton, and in another CONVERSE
ton he said he intended shaping the
face off, Sheetz for breaking up his
home. 1t is quite evident that he went
to the Office of SheetZ for the purpose
of having this understanding" He
was unarmed, and of course it must be
inferred that his idea was to give
Sheetz a punishment with his fists or a
flashing with his tongue.
The scene that was enacted in the
law Office Tuesday night may never be
portrayed for the public gaze. Sheetz
and Lewton saw every thing that hap
pened, one can not and the other may
not tell the story.

A BRAVE RESCUE.

Two Men Bravely Face Death to Save Inn.
prIsoned Miners-Their Heroism Re-
warded With Success.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. AT the
Nottingham mine in Plymouth, where
the disastrous cave in occurred last
week, about seven O'Clock last evening
there was heavy fall of coal which
forced gas toward the shaft, but on its
way it was ignited by the naked lamps
of miners and exploded. The brattice
work and timber at once caught fire
and burned furiously.
Five men were caught between the
cave in and the fire and all manner of
exit was cut off and the report spread
about town that the men were dead
and in few minutes hundreds Of men
and women gathered at the mouth of
the slope waiting to see the dead bodies
of the miners hoisted to the surface.
The wives and children of the i'm
prisoned men lost all control of them
selves in their grief, ard sorrowful
scenes were witnessed.
About half an hour after the fire
broke out John D. Humphreys and
John Richards were lowered into the
mine TO ascertain the true state of af-
fairs. When they reached the fire they
heard cries and shouts on the other
side. Putting their hands before their
faces they rushed through the fire and
dragged the five imprisoned men out
one by one uninjured. When they
reached the anxious crowd above the
rescued men and the heroes were re-
ceived with shouts of welc ONE.
Thomas Richards, who was in an.
other part of the mine, was severely
burned by the explosion and it is feared
he can not recover.
