finally finds its way into his account when
all is sold or collected. Then / would ask
again, is the treasurer responsible for any
more than he collects? If not, why charge
him direct? When you charge general tax
YOU indirectly charge the treasurer, and
when he does actually collect it you coun-
tersign the receipt and then charge his ac-
count direct for then he is wholly respon-
sible.
Aside from this one new account which
call general tax account, your accounts
are the same. Therefore, nothing remains
but the mode of the daily work, which is
done in this manner: First procure proper
blanks for these orders mentioned in sec
tion 81, and when a city, township or
school district treasurer comes in to draw
his money from the treasury, he comes to
you, gets his order and goes to the treas
urer, who pays him the amount named in
the order: takes duplicate receipts, at
taches one to the order and calling every
evening, forthwith, as mentioned in the
statute, files the orCier for credit. / take
the several orders, compare them with the
stube in the order book, see that the
amount of the receipt corresponds with
order given by me, thus preventing any
changed or false receipts to be filed, then
charge the proper account OF the city,
township or yhool district, as the case
may be, and credit the treasurer with the
same. For illustration, take from my
blotter or day book the business of Novem-
Der II. 1890, and which is as follows;

AN AGE OF IMPROVEMENT.

The Evening News of Kansas City,
although not yet five years old, recog-
nizes that this is an age of improve
ment. 1t has just moved into one of the
handsomest newspaper buildings in the
west; a building erected expressly for
it and combining all the conveniences
that time and experience can suggest
or money secure. In addition, a new
Potter perfecting press with capacity
of twenty-five thousand papers an
hour, has been added TO its mechanic
al outfit, enabling it TO take front rank
among the established papers of the
country. Do you take daily paper
Suppose in any event you try The
Evening News.
1t will BIZ sent you by mail every
day except Sunday one year for two
dollars. This is special offer and is
the lowest price that any daily news
paper has ever been sold for.
While il is cheap in price it is in no
sense of the word cheap in quality.
The telegraph news is furnished by
the United Press and thoroughly COW
ers the world.
Its short and pithy paragraphs OF
events happening in the three great
states CT Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska are alone worth more than the
cost of the paper. You can send your
order direct to The Evening News, 9O9

Utah's chances for admission to
statehood in the near future are good
and improving constantly. In point
of population Utah Is by far the larg-
est of the present territories. Accord
ing to the estimate of its governor It
has about 100000 inhabitants, as COM
pared with $4,000 in New Mexico,
$4,000 in Idaho, 100000 in Wyoming,
10000 in Arizona. 1t has 100000
moro people than Montana, 10000
more than Washington and 5000 more
than North Dakota. The only one of
the recently created states which ex-
ceeds it in population is South Dakota.
Of the old states, Delaware and Neva-
da stand long way behind it in this
respect.

why Does the Earth Quake?
ST Louis Republic

The earthquake theory which seems
most probable and the one which has
the most adherents, is the one which
tells us that the "quake" is caused by
the efforts of internal heat to make its
escape through a weak part of the
surrounding earth-crust. How thick
the earth's crust is would be hard
matter to find out for certainty. The
German government is now at work
upon shaft (if it has not been recent
| " abandoncd) near Schladebach with
the object especially of obtaining
Trustworthy data concerning the in
crease in the earth's temperature as it
nears the interior The last statement
the writer read concerning this shaft
said that it was at that time 1892 me-
tres in depth. The temperature was
about As centigrade, equal to abont
l2O Fahrenheit. If it increases uni
formly as the depth increases, as il
has heretofore, the boiling point OF
water will be reached at about 5000
metres, providing the shaft could be
sunk to that depth, which is equal 10
about two miles. At this rate of in
crease the point at which platinum
melts would be found TO be at depth
Of 45 miles. According to these fig
ures the earth's crust cannot be more
than 1-90th of its radius.
Prof. Newcomb, connected with the
naval observatory at Washington, said
at the time of the August earthquake
in 1884: "The only common sense eX-
PLANTATION of an earthquake, to my
mind, is that down in the bowels OF
the earth, say from 80 TO 100 miles be-
meath the surface, there is fluid matter
boiling at a white heat, which, as il
gradually becomes cooled, contracts
leaving a space between it and The
solid parts, and the heavy weight o.
the earth above the vacant place
causes the earth to sink-then you
have your earthquake"

Relief for the Farmer.
Kansas City Globe.

In every issue of every Kansas paper
appears advice TO the farmer as To the
best methods of relieving himself from
the difficulties which he has encoun-
tered. and each man has something 10
offer which he thinks will b. of bene-
fit. While the farmer can realize
nothing for his crops there is of course
a dearth of money in the state, and
this is true not only in Kansas, but
throughout the whole west as well.
Every business and every profession
feels the weight of the burden and all
of course desire its removal. The
Globe has already suggested to the
farmers the idea of storing the crops
now OIL hand and by means Of the
farmers organizations and the aid of
local banks drawing sufficient money
upon their grain to carry them
through. This seems TO be the only
present relief. II it can be done sue
cesstulIy it will relieve the distress for
the present and place the farmers in a
position TO receive better prices for
their products than they can otherwise
hope TO receive.
But this is not the only idea that
should be in the mind of the farmer.
While it is true that lie has more grain
than he can sell now, it is equally true
that the coming season gives promise
of refilling his bins and cribs with
corn. Care should be taken that there
shall not be recurrence of the expe-
riences of the present year if it is
within the power of the farmer to
prevent it. TO great extent perhaps
he cannot control the circumstances
which have made affairs as they are.
But by judicious management, by
careful brain work, he may so manage
his affairs that lie will never again be
placed in the position i'll which he
| finds himself now. Legislation cam
not aid him, for if il could there is not
a congressman, senator or representa-
tive but would gladly suggest a reme-
DIV. There seems 10 be no remedy in
legislative enactment and the farmer
must look to his own interests and
conduct his business upon business
principles. When spring comes and
there is no demand for 1annels and
other heavy goods the merchant does
not load his shelves with them. Then
why should the farmer, when there is
no market for wheat and corn fill his
bins and cribs with those cereals !
Why not consider the matter and pro-
duce that for which there is demand !
Why not diversity the crops and raise
that, for which there Is marketY TIE
best authorities OF KRnsas and other
western states declare that corn fed TO
hogs brings from 25to 20 cents a bush
ell. That even wheat fed TO them
brings a greater profit than when sold
at the present prices. Then why not
feed the corn TO the hogs? And why
raise hundreds of nIillions of bushels
Of Il when there is 4 market, for oniy

There is enough corn now IN the
United States to supply the market il
there is not O bushel raised the coming
year. But cattle and hogs bring q
good price and the farmer who has
enough stock to eat all the grain he
has raised and all he can buy at III
cents and u cents q bushel from his
neighbors is the man who will make
money this year. There is no dispute
in reference to this matter, and the
facts stated are conceded.
But many farmers have not the
money with which to purchase stock
necessary to eat the grain they raise.
Very well, let the man VINO cannot
buy the stock raise less corn. WIN u
decreased production there will be an
increased price. Let the farmer VINO
cannot buy the stock diversity MS
crops. Plant less corn and more rye
barley, sorghum, potatoes, broom corn,
cotton, tobacco; these last named
crops can all be raised at least in the
southern part of Kansas, and he VIII
find that farming will pay far better
than it does when he depends upon
corn alone.
Kansas is far from the corn market,
and when a large crop is raised Inc
farmer may expect low price for the
grain and II will be so as long as the
markets remain as they are now. Ii
he depends upon selling his corn he
will always be "hard up" because
when he raises a good crop he cannot
sell it and when he does not he Will, OF
course, have none to sell. The farmer
must look beyond the present year; he
must study the markets and watch
the demand and the supply. 1t is true
the soil of Kansas is better adapted to
the growth of corn than to any other
crop, but it will raise almost anything
that is planted, and when he sees that
there is demand for certain article
let the farmer raise that and he will
find a market for it. This is the only
remedy that is in sight for the farmer
of Kansas and the west.
