We wish some truck farmer would
tell US if there is any good reason why
this market should not have fresh
home grown peas and beans and sweet
corn all summer long. Why could
not one row of peas be planted on
week. another the next, another the
next ard so on until the limit Of the
growing season had been reached
and the same with other things? IL
seems to us that would he practica BILE

People would surely pay as much for
fresh peas in September as they
would in June, and good juicy roast
ing ear would go mighty well then,
too. We wish somebody would try
this scheme next year, and then tell
us if it does not pay.
lola people have personal reasons to
regret the resignation of George X.
Peck from the attOrneyship of the
Santa Fe railroad. Two or three
years ago when we wanted a spur
built To our marble quarry and had
tried for months in vain to get it, the
editor OF this paper happened to meet
Mr.. Peek one evening in Kansas City
and laid the case before him. In two
weeks We got or track. And last
Spring when there was talk of a new
depot, we wrote TO Mr.. Peck at Chi
csgO and asked him if he couldn't help
Us out. The road was in the hands OF
receivers, it was worse than bankrupt,
it was in the throes of a re-Organiza-
ton scheme, and there was not new
depot being built from Chicago to the
City of Mexico But Peck wrote back,
an see what can be done" And we
got our depot. He was q great, big
Drained, big hearted man, and his
resignation from the Santa Fe is "A
loss TO the whole State.

pamphlet that Rev. S. w. Gamble,
pastor of the NJ. Z. Church at La

PREACHERS DIDN'T PAY.
And Though He Wasn't One He Got
Through.

Through.
This is about an exceedingly genial,
middle aged, suburban gentleman who
was driving party of young people to
the depot. They had spent the day par
taking of his inequalities. Jogging along
during a little interval of silence, all eyes
spied straight ahead one of those long,
awkward looking poles that span SO many
country roadways, slowly lifting its skel-
etonlike length toware1the sky.
Say, Mr.. -" observed one of the
party, don't they let good looking people
through that gate free?''
''Not quite, - he laughed good natured-
". Wed all have to be preachers in the
bargain to get past that lynx eyed old fell
low at the gate yonder; but, speaking OF
preachers, reminds me that 1 did pose as
one once and fooled the old gatekeeper
royalty.
.'How did do it? Well, it was when
I was a drummer and selling goods
around through country towns in these
parts. 1 was going through one of these
old gates, and slowed up bit and asked
of the old fellow at the door:
g All, my friend, do preachers pay to
go through your gate?'
- No, sir, said he and with profound
obeisance he waved me on and backed
into his little ROOM
''Well, after that passed through some
eight or ten times, when one day he &C
costed me as l drove up.
9 Good day, sir, he said. What church
do you preach at, sir may I askf'
- None, my good feIlow-none, I re-
piled
What! Didn't you tell me you were
a preacher said he
= No l said. L only asked you if
preachers had to pay. L was just little
curious to know. Well, you should have
seen that old fellow S face as it dawned
upon him where the joke came in. Yes,
I always paid after that. ''-Cincinnati

A Bill to Abolish it Reported FavOrably
to the House.
The bill to abolish the Shawnee county
circuit court, introduced by Representa-
tive Sherman, has been reported favora-
bly, to the house. 1t will probably pass
the house soon, and will. then to go the
senate. There is little doubt that the bill
will soon become a law, and Shawnee
county will then have one court less.
Judge Hazen has proved himself capa-
BILE of taking care of all the court bust
ness and the movement to abolish the
court will be generally approved. The
court has no power to enforce its orders
and extra costs are made by certifying
the judgments to the district court for
enforcement 1t is on this account that
the business of the court has dwindIed
TO almost nothing. Some lawyers think
that the jurisdiction of the court should
be enlarged and the court continued, but
Judge j. B. johnson himself is in favor
of the abolition of the court

May BE Alive Yet.

San Francisco, July 20.-Interest
has been aroused in Oakland as to the
fate of Carlos White, formerly pros
porous printer in San Francisco, who
several years ago mysteriously disap.
peared. He left wife, who was so
sure that he was dead that she has mar.
ried again. Now there are rumors
that White is alive in Europe. Seven
years ago White failed in business. He
joined the Salvation Army and went
insane. He was sent to the Stockton
asylum, from which place he escaped.
He was next heard of in Vermont, and
later went to England. He wrote to
his wife from London, but since then
she has never heard from him. Mrs.
White was left destitute, and recently
married Walter Logan, an Englishman.
She was the first child born in Colum-
bia Hill, Cal.

which will ply between ports along
the Atlantic coast of the United States
and points along the Mexican coast.
New York and Philadelphia are
named as the probable terminal points,
but it is expressly stated that the COM
pany is permitted to select other sta
tions. The contract names the Mexi-
can ports of Tampico, Vera Cruz and
Progresso, and may also touch coming
and going at Tuxpan, Alvarado and
Tlacotalpan. There must be in the
Mexican capital an agent with full
powers to decide questions that may
arise between the Mexican government
and the company, besides agents at the
Mexican ports, at which the steamers
will touch. The company is given
power to increase the number of its
steamers touching Mexican ports to ply
between PrOgresso and Cuba whenever
it shall be convenient.

REFUNDING THE TAX.
Money Collected on Incomes
Soon to Be Returned.
APPLICATIONS CONE IN SLOWLY
The Returns Indicate the West and
South Would Have Paid But One
Third of the Tax.

Washington, July 19.-The internal
revenue bureau has practically com.
pleted the work of organizing and
scheduling the returns received on the
income tax, and will soon begin re-
funding the amounts paid before the
law was declared unconstitutional.
The applications for refund, however,
are coming in very slowly. The aggre-
gate of the returns made represent
about $15, 100000 of tax, and hence
about $50, 300, 900, it is calculated,
would have been collected if all who
were subject to the tax had sent in re-
turns. The first decision of the su-
preme court, exempting debts and re-
ceipts from bonds from the operation
of the tax, resulted in loss of $l5,-
100000. Had the law remained as it
originally stood, the total receipts
would have approximated $45, 900, 900
or $50, ,000,000 These returns seem to
indicate that the New England and
Middle states would have paid about
two-thirds Of the whole tax, and the
Western and Southern states about
one-third.
