passed by the legislature either taxing the
output OF the breweries or fixing tax on
them based on their capacity.
In this connection l desire TO call your
attention to the fact that there is In almost
every town and in all the cities OF the State
organized and chartered clubs where liquor
is dispensed to the membership. and while
the United States government requires
these clubs to procure q special stamp, as
they do other dealers In liquors, ye, under
the decisions OF the courts of our State.
these clubs are exempt from an occupation
tax. think the law should be amended
so as TO make these clubs pay a liquor
dealers tax, as other saloon men have to
pay. In the FIRST place these clubs DEL rive
dealers who pay their tax to the State OF
revenues. which, as licensed .,eaiers. they
are entitled to receive. aud In the second
place they are organized in many instances
for the purpose of defeating the revenue
laws Of the State. and l think that dealers
who comply With the law and pay their
taxes should be protected by the State IN
the pursuit OF their occupation.
During las, year and this visited about
nifty tax collectors in different portions
Of the State and while II is ,ay cpiniun
that the tax laws are better enforced row
than ever before In the history OF the State.
yet there are many counties where il looks
as though II is nearly impossible 10 collect
The taxes due the State. However. ihe col

A STORY OF ~ HUNG CHANG
How He Interested Himself In Two
Chinese Women.

Cnhubso WOEAtrhs
Something over year ago a Chi
nese Christian girl named Marguerite
Wang came to America with the in
tention of obtaining an education. She
remained here year, and was Just
about to enter woman's college when
she received word that her father had
betrothed her to a man whom she had
never seen. Under the consular reg
ulations she was forced to return 10
her home, foregoing her education, to
marry this man. Miss Hartford, one OF
the principal workers in the Foo-Chow
mission, who was here on a visit, ac-
companied her on her return.
On the same ship with them was Iii
Hun Chang and his suite. The viceroy
noticed the Chinese girl, and sent his
secretary, Lord Ii, 20 inquire about
her. A day or two later he sent word
he would like to talk with Marguerite
and Miss Hartford. They went TO see
him and told him the story of the girls
attempt to obtain an education. The
yiceroy was much pleased with his
countrywoman and seemed to take u
great interest in her. He told her and
Miss Hartford about the woman's cor
gress, which is to be held in London
in 1898, and said that he wanted the
women of China to be represented II
the congress.
After u little talk he told Marguerite
that he would appointher to represent
China and it's women ut the congress.
He then asked Miss Hartford if she did
not know of some other woman in
China that was qualified to be a dele
gate to the congress. Miss Hartford
at once recommended to him DR.. HUI
King Eng, the first Chinese woman. TO
study medicine. Some years ago she
left China TO come to America, and
after Il course in the woman's medical
school at Philadelphia she received her
degree. She then returned TO China
and became one of the most valuable
members of the Foo Chow mission,
where she now is. Ii Hung Chang was
much interested in the story and after
a few questions SAID that she should be
appointed as the second woman to at
tend the congress. So China will be
represented at the woman's congress
and by two Christian women. After
the viceroy's arrival in China he made
the appointment in formal manner

And human hearts grow warmer or grow

IN THE FAR WEST.
How Freighters Kept the whisky's Weight
and Quality Unimpaired.

A man ut one of the hotels the other
night told an interesting story of how
the freIghters of the far west used 10
supply themselves with whisky, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal. He
said that some years ago when all
freight was hauled in wagons, he hap
pened TO make a trip OF several hun
dred miles with train OF wagons ear
rying merchandise to remote stations.
Nearly every wagon contained one or
more barrels OF whisky.
1.-The first night out noticed" said
he, great activity around the whisky
barrels. Tie wagons each had a
Ratchet and gimlet. They would
knock up a hoop, bore hole, draw all
the whisky they wanted, then put
about as much tine gravel in the barrel
as they had drawn out whisky, drive a
plug in the hole and put the hoop bach
in place.
IL learned afterward that the bar
rels were weighed and the whisky
tested before it was turned over to the
freighters, and that when il arrived at
its destination it was again weighed
and tested. The gravel supplied the
weight and bulk and the quantity re-
manned the same, and this is why IL
was used instead Of water 10 supply the
place of what had been taken out"

Catarrh Means Danger,

Because if unchecked it may lead direct
ly to consumption. Cstarrh is caused
by impure blood. This fact is fully
established. Therefore, it is useless to
try to cure catsrrh by outward appli-
cation or inhalants. The true way to
cure catarrh is to purify the blood,
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great blood
purifier, cures catarrh by it power to
drive out all i'm purities from the blood
Thousands Of people testify that they
have been periuctly and permanently
cured of catarrh by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla.
