The Coming Woman.

To the Editor:
According to the strong minded ones Of the
weaker sex, the twentieth century woman will be
n model wife and mother. She's to be a paragon
OF perfection. a heaven-born angel. a comforter
and protector for man. 1t isn't stated, however,
in what part Of the century she's to make her
debut. but she is coming. Isn't that consoling7
Judging by the present indications, I opine she'll
be a cuckoo Her prospective chances OF wife
hood will be very slim; and as to motherhood
we'll, that will he left entirely to the honest. un-
sophisticated working class. Woman. to retain
the respect and admiration Of man, must return
and live within the sphere for which God and Nature
intended her. She is rapidly going outside OF 1t.
What will 1t be fifty years hence? Chaos! See

In boisterous talk and ogle the ladies as they

TAX LEVY DECISION.
Important Opinion Rendered by the su

Important Opinion Rendered by the Su-
preme Court of Missouri.
JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, June l0.-An
opinion, very far reaching in its effects.
was handed down by the supreme court
yesterday In the case of state ex rel
tlirni collector, VS.. Missouri Pacific
Railway Co.
llirni was collector of Bates county.
That county, like many others in this
state. has township organization and
has been In the habit of collecting
both township and county tax. and
has in the total of such levies far ex-
cceded the constitutional rate that may
be collected for county purposes.
The court holds that the constitu-
tional limits of the lcvies in the vari-
Gus counties of the state fix the amount
which may he collected for any or all
county purposes and that township or
ganizntion is but an intcr-cuunty or
ganizatiun, subject to the superior
right of the county To taxes collected.
and that the total of taxes for
both township and county purposes
must not exceed the limit fixed by the
constitution. Generally counties have
collected the full amount which they
are entitled to levy for county pur-
poses. This decision leaves such coun-
ties without funds with which to carry
the township organization.

to affect the price OF their product

who on the stock exchange drove down
the price of another mans product and
thus deprived him of SO much To which
he was justly entitled. At sos o'clock

Great Loss to Coal Miners In Wages Since

Great Loss to Coal Miners In Wages Since
the Trouble Commenced.
PITrsBrRGn, Pa, June l0-A well in
formed authority in the coal business
estimates that the coal strike in this
district has cost the miners in wages
sl,sOO, 900, taking it for granted that
the normal output of the region had
been retained. In proportion to the
general output this district mined
about onc-siNth of the coal dug in
the area affected by the strike. With
reasonable proportion between the
prices paid in this and other districts.
the loss in wages alone, says the same
authority, would bc over $40, ,OOl, 900.
Estimating the gain of the miners by
the settlement of the strike TO be 10
cents ton over former prices, IL will
take them one and one-half years to
make up by increase of earnings for
the time they have lost.

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-The report

at the per centages of condition of

how disastrous the season has been
thus far, The returns at this date
relate principally to bloom in the
more northern districts, and where
conditions are high It would be too
early To form AN opinion as TO crop re-
suits, As fruit does not recover from

other products do II is safe TO construe
the extremely low figures into u practi.
