Home Flour

Leslie Bell has Just landed three car
loads of flour. Two came from Reno
and one from California. 4 few years
ago he sold two car loads of Califor-
MIA -four to one of Nevada -four. but
now it is the other way. People are
discovering that the Reno f0uc is the

want any other. There are some still
left who insist on Sacramento flour,
but they grow fewer every year.

If You Have Sick Child, This 81
Surely a Message Of Hope.

This is the best news for parents of
weakly or sickly children. 1t is fact that
our people have heretofore not had the
same opportunity for having their children
who suffer from chronic or lingering COM
plants treated and cured by eminent spe-
cialists in children's diseases as do the resi-
dents of the great cities where such skilled
physicians reside. In other words, our peo-
pie have been debarred from seeking a cure
owing to the cost Of travel to the large city
and the high fees charged by such physi-
clans. Here, therefore, is chance for the
cure OF the children of our community
which should not be lost DR.. Greene of "a
Temple Place, Boston, Mass, who is, be-
yond doubt, the most successful specialist
in curing diseases OF children, offers to give
free consultation by mail in all cases OF
chIldren's complaints. Parents have the
describing their children's diseases, and he
will, after carefully considering the symp-
toms, write a letter fully explaining the
trouble, telling everything about their
complaint so plainly that you will under
stand exactly what ails your children He
will also give his advice, founded upon his
vast experience and wonderful success in
treating such cases, as to just what to do to
effect cure. All this will cost you nothing
and you can thus have consultation with
the best-known physician and acknowl-
edged most successful specialist in the
world without leaving home and at no ex-
pense whatever. The Doctor is the dis
coverer of that greatest of medicines, DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy,
and has discovered many other most valu-
able remedies. Write to him now about
your child, for this is chance of cure
which you may never have again.

FADs IN MEDICINE. There are fads in
medicine "a in everything else, and a new
thing" frequently sells for a short time,
simply because IL is new. But in medicine,
as in nothing else the people demand and
will be satisfied only with positive, absolute
merit. The fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
has stood its ground against all COMPETE
ton, and its sales have never wavered but
have remained steadily at the top, demon
strates, beyond any doubt, the intrinsic vir-
tues of this medicine. The new things have
come and gone but Hoods Sarsaparilla
rests upon the solid foundation Of absolute
merit and its power to cure, and its sales
continue TO be the largest in the world.

APPEAL IN THE GOULD TAX CASE
ARGUMENT FOR THE STATE CONTROLLER
AND FOR THE HEIRS.

An appeal was taken yesterday before Surrogate
Fitzgerald by the State Controller from the report
of David Mcclure. an appraiser appointed by the
Court. in which he placed the value Of the taxable
estate Of Jay Gould under the transfer act Of 1892.
at sS0,oOOOO. The Gould heirs want this cut down.
averrng that It is excessive The heirs OF Jay Gould
have removed to Lakewood. N. j.. and to Irving
ton-on-the Hudson.
The taxable value was reduced in a supple
mentary report by Mcclure TO S36l5,473 This sum
the result arrived at after sSl55S1. the $4,000
yearly life interests payable to the trustees and
5000 600 bequest 10 George J. Gould were deducted.
These declared as liabilities and not taxable.

the bequest was in the neghborhood Of $3.5O,o0 On

600 was made: all except $4,000 of this was paid.
When the appeal up for argument before
Surrogate Fitzgerald yesterday exJudge Dillon APP
peared on behalf of the heirs. The counsel for the
State Controller were Mr., Dos Passos and Senator
David B. HILL When the argument was opened Mr..

1t was contended by Mr.. Dos Passos that as the
bequest to George Gould was specific, it should be

SreD ar and rsees + was also asserted

be deducted from the appraised value as an ex-

Ex-JudSe Dillon said that II these payments.
which valued than &o00co. were
deducted claim of per cent of the total
value of the estate should be deducted for admin
istration expenses which would foot up great
deal more than that amount.
Concerning the 100000 bequest. ex-Judse Dillon
said that Jay Gould had left 1t to his George in
reward for dozen years OF faithful services and
attention business This, he said. should be con-
sdered as a claim due and as a liability and should
be deducted from the principal.

bodied In the will. to the best Of my belief. without

Mr. Dos Passos said that the residuary estate had
not been overvalued one-third. as alleged. He
said that Mr.. Mcclure noted expert In ap-
ports had never been attacked He declared that
his findings could not be refued. The 100000, he
said, was a gift. and should be taxed. He also as
serted that the executors were not entitled to such
