The annual report of State Au
ditor Nipple contains vast
amount of useful information,
and from a perusal of the report
it is evident that there is neces-
sity for change in the assessment
laws of the state, ard that a large
amount of property escapes pay
ment of its share of the tax neces-
sary for maintining the state
institutions. 1t is hoped that the
incoming Legislature will look in
to this matter and enact law
that will make all property bear
its just portion Of the state, eoun-
ty and municipal expenses.

The twelfth annual issue of the Co
lunlbia Pad Calendar has made its APP
pearaace in more pleasing forln than
ever before, having scattered through
its daily leaves many charming Illus
trations, with an appropriate thought
or verse for each day in the year.
Among the topics are bicycling, out
door life and good roads The cycling
fraternity, to say nothing OF the gener-
al public, has acquired decidedly
friendly feeling for the Columbia Cal
endar. and its annual advent is always
looked forward to with interest and
pleasure. One feature of the calendar
| is its neat stand, so arranged that the
block can either be used upon the desk
or hung upon the wall. The calendar
can be obtained for five two-cent
4 stamps by addressing the Calendar De-
partment OF the Pope Manufacturing
/ Company at Hartford, Conn.

The late reports from Cuba are

The late reports from Cuba are
to the effect that Gen. Maceo, the
Cuban leader, was murdered; that
he was invited to meet Spanish
officials, and that after passing
within their lines he was shot
from ambush. If these reports
are true every civilized nation on
the globe should at once demand
the withdrawal of all Spanish
troops and officials from the is
land of Cuba, and should recog-
nize the independence of its peo-
pie. The flag of the proud Span
lard should be trailed in the dust.

The hard coal syndicate is in full

The hard coal syndicate is in full
control and makes prices to suit itself
and the daily plpers announce that
their success in tbs respect has stimu-
lated the miners ald handlers of soft
coal to make an attempt at combining
so as to put up PRIZES on that commodl-
ty. 1t would not be a very difficult
matter to teEquite homily upon
the immortality ii such proceedings
aud to show whertin they violate the
laws OF God and subsequently, the laws
Of commerce. Nd few of our agri-
cultural contemporaries devote a good
many columns to Exploiting the evils
of combines and tiusts and IN showing
how they oppress the farmer. Ihls is
all very we'll in a way, but it has al
ways seemed to us that we could serve
our readers better by taking up the
questions which lie nearer to the FAR
mer's door and help him to realize the
sell imposed DQf1enS WHICH lihpcue
his progress. With this end in view
we point out TO him the onerous tax he
pays by keeping poor cows, and by I'M
proper methods OF feeding and hand
ling good COWS. We show, or try to
show, that prejudice and ignorance are
far more oppressive than the trusts
and combines against which he is so
vehcmeutly urged to take up arms. In
doing this we are very far from de-
tending or apologizing for the en-
| croachments of corporate or incorpor'
ate greed. We have no sympathy
whatever with the sentiment, acted
upon if not admitted, by many of the
multi ionaires that the public has
no rights which capital is bound tc
respect, but at the same time we can
not shut our eyest to the fact that witt
too many of us the trouble is not st
much with Others as with ourselve:
| that we do not Prosper. In the east
and even here in the middle west, a

HER LATEST.

n LACK mousselne de sole, with de-
IL sign IN flowers painted at intervals
over the surface, is a Partisan
- extravaganza of the hour. Either
black or coiored giace silk makes
the lining, but the former is preferred, as
forming more perfect background.
Crepe de China is also much in demand and
Is seen more often than any other one fabric.
Its comparative cheapness brings IL within
reach OF a greater number of admirers than
are allie To indulge in the more costly painted
material.
The fayorite sleeve of the season combines
u short puff with niousquetaire fullness of
the wrist Although the severe coat sleeve
is predicted for early fall, it has so far been
seen only IN conjunction with a few plain
tailor gowns.
Evening bodices are no longer round. I'M
ported models have points front and back
and are trimmed with profusioD of tuile
around tue low-cut neck. with sleeve COM
posed entirely of the same diaphanous favor
ite. The prevailing style is not unlike a
ballet dancers skirt, being composed OF
frill on rrill, falling over the shoulder point.
The huge tule bow is of the past. Its
popularity was limited, ana It's uOWnIali not
difficult To forctell. Much as the material
is liked, the bow is not becoming, and was
foredoomed
White is tie color chosen before all others
by experienced yachtswomen. 1t neither
fades nor spots with the salt water Ex-
posurc TO the sun only causes the creamy
tone to become richer and darker, besides all
of which advantages, it is considered more
chic than the time-houored blue.
The popularity of the opal is attested in
various ways. A notable evening gown is
defiant In the number of itSgems. The skirt
is of pale green moire. The bodice is draped
in faint blue and green-shot Chiffon and is
trimmed across the front with fringe OF
moonlight jewels fastened by opal clasps.
The sleeves are all of chiffon, caught up with
| brooches of the same stone.

TOILET SUGGESTIONS.

- IMPLE cologne water applied to
the hair with an atomizer is said
to keep it in curl.
~ A loose, flabby skin may come
from low state of the nerves, and
may be removed by taking a good tonic A
wash made OF a tablespoonful of alum in
a pint of water will tighten the skin, and
should be wiped over the face several times
a day with soft cloth.
A walk in the rain with the face cX-
posed to the wet is very beneficial to
the skin. The juice OF cucumbers strained
off from the vegetable after it has been
thoroughly boiled makes most excel
lent and softening toilet water. For a
shiny skin wet the face with saturated
solution of borax. Allow it to remain
on three minutes; then wash it off with
soft water.
A hair tonic which will be found to stimu-
late the growth of the hair and cleanse
it at the same time is prepared US fol-
lows Pour quart OF boiling water
on a small handful of rosemary; add a
piece of ammonia the size OF walnut;
let it stand till cold, when it will be ready
to use. Curly hair seldom grows long,
but a good wash like the above should
greatly improve the growth.

with Tie proper costume for each oc-
L Casiou.
Four dress weights sewed TO the
under side OF the hem Of the skirt will
prevent the annoyance OF the skirt blow
ing up III front. Cover them with silk or
wooden, SO they will not scratch the frame
if they happen to strike.
Patrcnize the shopkeepers who have bi-
cycle stands in front of their shops, as it is
only right To encourage the universal adop-
tion Of this great convenience to wheclers.
Be careful in the selection Of hat, for
il will make or mar your bicycle costume.
Tam 0'Shanters are only becoming TO
very young faces, a nd the shops show others
i'll great variety more suitable to women
OF maturer years.
The prominent knee motion which axes
many women look SO ungraceful on a wheel
is due TO the improper adjustment OF the
saddle. See that your saddleis high enough
TO allow you, while sitting Cd it, to stand
straight on the lower pedal.
Be sure TO take your wheel away with
you. 1t Will be swift and economical
way to take short excursions. besides eD-
abling you to join the bicycle parties which

and your handkerchief tied over 1t is u
good thing for puDcture in case of einer-
gency. 1t will allow you to ride your wheel
home.
Get a good lantern, as cheap one is poor
economy. Then use ordinary Kerosene.
The so-called combination oils ON sale are
almost sure to smoke and char the wick.
Moreover, nothing is more annoying than
TO have to pay constant attention to your
| lantern.

Thankful for Daughters.

Miss Harriet Keyscr. the we'll known
suffragist speaker. of New York, says that
the other day her German shoemaker re-
marked to her: do you know 1 am very
thankful that l have only one son. that
three of my children are daughters. | must
be always paying my boys debts, but
my girls nj! work and bring their earnings
to me TO help along. l don't see what 1
would do if bid another son to worry
me-" As Miss Kcyser justly observes.
how different this speech is from the old
notion that daughters were to lie taken
care of, and that son was blessing
sought much more than the merely tolerated
pirl
