EDtroR 10 uRNAb.--DurIng th,
canvass last June the question of
how 10 make q better assessment
and taxation law seemed 10 be up
pernost In the mind Of every votei
In Marion County; aud doubt 4
any man could have been elected tt
the legislature who would have de.
clared himself opposed TO the repeal
Of the clause allowing exemption
for indebtness. The practical work.
ing of the present law has been q
source Of unmitipated evil TO the
State, has placed the burden of tax
alton on those least able to bear II,
and has offered premium for per-
jury. The first thing then Is to re-
peal this clause; then to tax all
property IN the state Of whatever
kind or name and for the purpose OF
taxation 1t should be valued at Its
full market value. There is nothing
gained by low valuation. If the
valuation is lowered then the rate
must be increased in the same ratio.
If IL 10 desired to favor the poor and
those In IN 1derate circumstances,
the amount of property exempt from
taxation should be increased. A
team, one or two cows, farming i'm.
pliments, and something to apply
on the homestead should be exempt
from taxation. In town and city
the house and lot to the value of 10
or IL hundred dollars should be ex-
empt. The rich will always object
to an income tax. If they are to be
excused then surely the poor are
entitled to fair exemption. The
law thus amended, then some way
should be devised to complel the
assessonasto strictly carry out the
provisions of the law. No one but
the owner or his agent should give
TO the assessor list of property to
be assessed when the owner or agent
can be found by him. The assessor
should require such person to make
oath to the correctness Of his state
ments and sign the oathshe has TAX
EN- In his (the assessor's) presence.
If 1t should come to the knowledge
Of the assessor that he has sworn
falsely or kept back what he should
have returned then the assessor
should prosecute him to the extent
Of the law. Another question; How
to secure uniformity of valuation
Of property by the different assessors
Of the State? How is II that a mort
gage Is worth 100 cents on the dollar
for the purpose Of taxation In one
county, and but 50cents in another?
An animal Is assessed at rs dollars
In one county and one of the same
or equal value at so dollars just
across the line In another. / have
thought that the State board Of
Equalization might be empowered
TO ok maximum and minimum
valuation OH different kinds and
classes Of property and every assessor
be required TO fix bis valuations In
side those limits. As THE JOURNAL
has declared itself an advocate Of u
change In the assessment law these
thoughts are submitted and are Of
course open to criticism.

CHARLES E. DACREs, son of Sir
Sidney Dacres, late admiral of the
English navy, recently died at Yank-
ton, S. D. According to the worlds
standard of judgment, he was queer
character. During his entire life he
refused to take any advantage of h
family connections, and preferred to
fight the world unaided. For ten
years he worked before the mast as a
common sailor, though he might have
received promotion. Coming to this
country he engaged for some time in
the newspaper business. More re-
Gently he ran a pleasure resort near
Yankton. 1t is hard for the ordinary
run of mortals, among whom the
struggle for wealth and power is the
chief aim Of existence, to understand
why a man should put aside his best
chances for profit and advancement.
Dacres' case is not an isolated one.
Perhaps sturdy independence, or a
democratic spirit inherited from a
remote ancestor, is responsible for
such phenomena.

Dust In the Eve.

When, in travelling, bit of dust
gets in the eye, it is best to remain
quiet for a little, as the tears may
wash it away; the flow of tears may
be promoted from time to time by at
tempting to open the eye. Blowing
the nose violently assists in the Op-
Grafton. The head of a pin, covered
with the end of a pockethandker-
chief, and mOisted with saliva, may
be moved about between the eyeb:ll
and eyelid, and will detach the in
truder if not too firmly fixed. An
other plan is to get fellOw-traveler
to raise the eyelid with his fingers,
and then gently wipe the red mucous
membrane with a moistened hand
kerchief, OF remove the foreign body
if he can see in. A little piece Of
paper twisted to point is useful. A
drop of olive oil or castor oil intro
duced into the eye will often allay a
pain and intolerance Of light pro-
duced by fine irritant, as sand.

such Of them as he had met, In talking
to chance acquaintances; they were as
frank and free as II among old friends,
they did not seem on guard against
possible impudence and any i'm
pulse toward Irritation seemed far from
them. Was this q result of heredity?
He thought it must be, yet how could it
have come about? He would look into
it; he would have plenty of time on his
hands before his bees had got all they
could out of the Louisiana lowlands.
"Supper's ready, pop" said the girl,
hadn't you better bring your friend Inf"
OF course" said the head of the
house, knocking the ashes out of his
pipe and arising. Come along and have
q bite with US, stranger"
Il am very much obliged" said Jack,
but If 1 am to enjoy your hospitality
let me introduce myself. My name
is Brewster; I'm down here with boat
load of bees, making honey for North
en- markets.
That so?" asked the host, so much
name in return. That's queer. Don't
they have any bee-trees up that way,
I'd like to know"
Jack thought not; he had forgotten
that there were such things as bee
trees, though now he remembered to
have read Of them. He was about to
explain the shortness Of the Northern
season and to tell of his method Of work
when he found himself within the house
and in the presence of a woman about
as old and thin and sallow as her hus-
band.
Mother" said the host, "this is Mr..
Brewster, from up North"
Glad you dropped in, SIR" said the
woman. Set down."
The supper was exactly the same as
Jack had seen at all other evening meals
that he had seen on tables in the low
lands-fried pork, fried fish, fried bread,
and coffee, which he felt sure would
have been fried if any way could have
been devised for preparing coffee in a
frying pan. On his boat, thanks to lot
of stuff which he had brought down from
the North, there was frequent change
in the bill Of fare. In his New England
home he had been taught that much
fried food was unhealthy, yet, right OPP
posite him at a table sat girl whose
would have been the envy
of all the New England girls he knew.
Could it be that heredity had ac-
customed the Southern physique
to that sort of diet. He would
make a note of that for future thought.
he determined that in this
home, in which not a book was
visible, he might hope to repay hos
pitality by offering some glimpses of
higher civiliZatihn, so he began to talk
about the land from which he came.
Somehow, though, his remarks did not
seem to excite any curiosity; the fam
lily listened respectfully, but that was
all; it was only when he asked Ques-

and sycamore trees, but whereabouts
along the river were there not an equal
number within sight?
Suddenly the girl sprang out to the
front of the house. Jack followed her
with his eyes and saw a young man
with a gun sauntering by and looking
toward the house.
Now 1 see what is going on" said
Jack to himself, and somehow the in
formation made him feel sober and
weakened his conversational powers.
The girl soon returned, followed by the
young man, who entered the house
without removing his hat and remarked:
"Evenin'."
"Evenin'," replied the hostess.
"Evenin', Bill" echoed the host. AL
ways room for one more. This is our
friend Mr.. Brewster, from up North"
The young man nodded lazily to the
guest, leaned his gun against the wall,
and drew chair to the table, putting
his hat beneath it. Lizzie began to
serve the remains of the supper and
Jack tried to lose interest in the couple.
He did not see what business it was of
his, anyway; if splendid girl like that
chose to throw herself away on such a

have the society of a more intelligent
man, he was sure she was welcome to
crafty her own tastes. He had heard
of wild roses before, but he never had
learned that they ever came to much.
He didn't care even to remain within
hearing distance Of such couple of
fools, so he invited his host to stroll
down and look at the bee-boat, which
was moored half mile down the river.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Salina Herald: The Christian church
has called Rev. H. Miner Black. of
London, England, and late of Mel
bourne, Australia, to be pastor. Rev.
Black is young preacher Of great en-
ergy, and will undoubtedly prove to be
tireless worker in Salina.
The First Baptist church of Hiawatha
took fire at o'clock at night, and in
side of thirty minutes was in ruins. The
fire broke out in the tower, possibly
from the arc electric light wires. The
church was worth $4,000; the insurance
was $4,000. The new parsonage, just
finished, was unframed. A fine brick
church will be built at once, to be COM
pleted on February 1.
The diocesan convention of the Epis-
copal church held three days session
ut st. Paurs church. LeavenwOrth. A
work of the convention was to divide
the state into four deaneries or convoca-
tions for the purpose of the advance
ment of missionary work. The deans
appointed: were Northeast, Rev. S. B.
Pond, Of Leavenworth; northwest, W.
Christian, of Abilene; southwest. Rev.
Rahmes, Of Wichita; northwest, Rev.
EIlerby, of Parsons. During the even-
ing the northeastern cOnvOcation assem-
bled with Rev. Pond presiding, and adj
dresses we're made by Rev. Mr.. Foote.

Salina, on the subject of the best music

was very entertaining and full Of good
recommendations. Rev. F. X. Brooke,

by the Episcopal convention at Balti-
more, as bishop OF the Indian territory
and Oklahoma, was present during the

was going on" There was much activ-

John E. Frost, land commissioner Of
the Santa Fe, has received letter from
6. A. Dusenberry, of Barton county,
telling of his remarkable success with
wheat this year. He had 5000 acres
in wheat. 1t averaged twenty -one
bushels to the acre, and it was sold for
50 cents per bushel. Mr. Dusenberrv
says it cost him just S2.S5 per acre to
raise the wheat and put it on the mar
ket. This leaves net profit of SS.O5

profit of $24,15O. NJ. Gilmore another

Of extension of the Kansas City & Pa

Texas railroad from Cofeyvill through
the Indian territory to Texas, it seems
from present indications will soon be
reality. From the Developments of the
past few days it is probable that the
first day Of March viii witness the in
auguration of work on the extension
from Cofeyville diagonally across the
Indian territory to Vernon, Texas. The
extension will be about 800 miles in
length, and when work is once begun
it will be pushed with all possible
speed until the road is completed. It
will travel the most fertile portion of
Oklahoma. dividing almost in the center
the kiowa and Comanche lands, which
will soon be thrown open to settlement.
These lands are among the best IN the
territory, and will doubtless be settled
IN short time after tho opening.

tons that the conversation became gen
eral.
Have you lived here long, sir?" he
asked the host.
Ever since found wife here, was
the reply, except the time 1 was off in
the war belonged two or three hun
bred miles mp the river, but got down
this way one spring, an somehow 1
wasn't ever able to git away again; eh,
old lady?"
The wife nodded assent, and Jack
wondered how it could have been. He
ventured the remark that the land
seemed rich all along the river bank,
and he supposed it was as good on his
hosts farm as anywhere else.
Cant say much about the farm,
said the host. with the shade of q laugh.
"seein' I don't raise much but little
corn an tubbacker. l was fishin' an
huntin' when 1 first come down, an
fishin' an huntin' when 1 first met her,
an I've Jest naturally been fishin' an
huntin' ever since. Seemed to be a
land of sweets when I first got into it.,
an it's been goin' on seemin' that way
ever since"
Il don't wonder" said Jack, for the
land was affecting him in the same way.
The fragrance of orange, magnolia and
the many odorous shrubs and grasses
filled the air all the time he was ashore,
the bouquet of his boatload Of hives en-
veloped him when he was atiOat; life
was exuberant ali around him, while
the girls-cool-headed though he was
they, too, seemed to suffuse with sweet
ness all the atmosphere about them.
Even the smoke of the native tobacco
pipe was sweet Jack had detested
pipe-smoke at home, and had often lost
part of an exciting debate in the village
store by going outside for fresh air, but
here the odor of burning periQue was
fragrance to his nostrils.
No sooner was the meal ended than
the host again lit his pipe and the two
men fell into chat on the one converse
tional standby Of native-born Ameri-
cans-politics. The visitor soon dis
covered that he could teach his host
nothing on this topic, and that the
women also talked well on the same
subiect-a subject which Jacks mother
and sisters had always declared too
tiresome to be endured. How could a
man 50 intelligent be satisfied to live 80
plainly?
Have you many neighbors?" Jack
! asked.
-Yes-yes. quite heap OF EN- was
| the reply. There's Raper, up the bend.
about mile away, and Truigg. couple
OF miles down. Oh, yes; neighbors
| enough to keep US from bein' lonesome.
Then the stores only four miles on;
; there's always sure to be somebody
there. Then we see all the steamboats,
that go by; they're q powerful sight Of
company.
Jack stole q glance at Lizzie; her
| parents might be content to laztly de-
cav in q lone cabin on the river bank,
but girls were not made that wsy-at
least, not such girls as he had known.
But Lizzie's face was as placid and con-
| tented as if SIZE had not an ungratified
longing. He would find out about that
| before his Dsxt move up the river.
Its always pleasant here. except
when it rains, said the girl. There's
always something new ont Of dooes
