Taxation Of Judgments.

request of your Mr. Morphy, will
give you history Of the law taxing
judgments passed at the late session OF
the Legislature.
After the Populists secured control
of Kingmsn county In 1890, judgments
were assessed, and a great many own
ers Of worthless judgments released
them. However, resident owners
of judgments generally refused to re
lease, and based their refusal upon the
proposition that the Judgment had no
situs other than that of the person Of
the owner. The answer was urged,
that the judgment was creature of
law and had a situs for enforcement,
and public policy would estop the
owner from denying It's situs.
In 1892 was elected County Attor-
ney of Kingman county, and, in order
to secure an expression Of the
court upon the question, prevailed
upon the firm of GiIlett & Libby, attor-
neys at Kingmsn, Kas,, to agree with
me upon a skeleton case made contain
ing certain statements of fact, and
submitted the question to the Supreme
court in 1898. After numerous stages
of procedure in that court, and after
Judge Horizons retirement and Judge
Martins appointment, and some three
and half years after It's submission, 1t
was decided on December 5, 1895, sll
of the Justices concurring. The court
In effect held, that no situs having
been established for the purposes of
taxation so far as judgments were con.
cerned, the general rule that they had
no situs independent of the owner pre-
vailed, but in the decision clearly indl-
Gated that the Legislature could fix
situs for the purpose of taxation.
Hence the bill was drawn establishing
q situs Of all foreign and domestic
judgments for the purpose of taxation,
and provisions were made for q sale Of
the interest of the holder In case of de-
fault, and providing that the County
Treasurer, in case the judgment should
not bring the amount of the tax,
should bid In for the county, and at
the next meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners the county's In
terest might be assigned to the judg-
ment debtor, his agent or attorney.
The bill will In the next eighteen
month"; remove from the records all
old deficiency judgments on mortgage
foreclosures and give some very worthy
people new lease of life. It is simply
correcting an abuse of the past whereby
farm worth $4,000 would be sold at
Sheriff's sale for 800 and leave S2, 400
against the moTtgsgor. In our county,
at the time this suit was filed, our per-
sOnal judgments had reached the mag
niicent sum of over S785, 900, as will
be shown by consulting Che files In the
case Of The Board of County Commits
sicners of Kingmsn County, Kansas,
Vs. William F. Leonard, in the Supreme
court, decided on December s, 1895.

Returned From North idaho.

Governor Steunenberg and Secretary
OF State Lewis returned from the north
last evening. They made a trip 40
miles northeast from Moscow into the
white pine belt and travelled through
much Of the timber. Returning they
drove from the pine country 10 miles to
Colfax.
Speaking of the timber the governor
said his opinion OF it had not changed.
II is the greatest thing in the west and
is attracting much attention. With Its
wheat and timber, that section, the gov
ernor said, is destined to become the
richest locality In the northwest.
Mr.. Lewis said he did not believe the
people realized what wonderful coun-
try this Is. Referring to the timber, he
said the pine lands were undoubtedly
one Of the greatest interests of the state
and the state should use every effort to
realize upon It's holdings. There is con-
stant danger Of fire. The state is push
Ing selections us fast as possible. There
are two or three parties, Mr.. Lewis said,
busy locating timber sharks In the tim
ber. Two Michigan concerns are en-
gagged In the work. But, as rule, the
locations show on their face that they
are not made In good faith.
The wheat fields, Mr.. Lewis continued,
extend for 100 miles. Words, he de-
clared, are entirely inadequate to de-
scribe the riches spread out there. No
man could form an idea of II without
making visit to the locality. Boise

SOUTH HILL, VIRGINIA,
Saturday, Oct. 9th, 's7.
DEAR NEws:--I am again in Old Vir-
ginia, so rich and mellow in her his
tory and traditions OF the early settle
ment OF this country.
From Henderson, North Carolina, to
this point in Virginia, is not far as We
count distance by the Union Pacific
Eyer or by the running of Utah &
Northern train an hour late out OF Po-
catello. But by the running of the
branch road trains here il is a whole
days journey. OF one thing am pos
itively convinced: The trains on the
connecting roads between Virginia and
Carolina do not run as fast as Idaho
jack rabbits fleeing from cayotes or In
dian gray hounds.
There are only two towns OF any note
on the roads from Henderson to South
Hill--oxford, North Carolina and
Clarksville, Virginia. Both of these
have the appearance OF having seen bet
ter days-both can remember when the
paint was fresher ON their buildings.
Oxford is a noted educational town.
II has good schools for boys and also
for girls. From all appearances 1t has
no need of curfew ordinances. When
IL is night there, It is night.
Clarksville is an old, old town in
name and situation, but its business
part is principally new in structure. 1t
is situated on the west bank OF Roanoke
river, and its business street extends
from the waters edge up and over a
hill. A destructive fire visited the
town about five years ago and the burnt
district has never been closely rebuilt,
and when get far away from the hope
full and enthusiastic survivors of the
fire, may be brave enough TO say 1t
will never be rebuilt. have been told
that at one time in its history Clarks-
vile had the largest tobacco factories
In the United States, and, OF course, in
the world Roanoke river is a broad,
ugly stream. Its waters are as yellow
as the "Yellow Tiber, and while 1t fur
nishes power enough for limitless ma
chinery, IL is not utilized, save here
and there, by combined corn and
wheat mill.
When at Clarksville was In 30 min

A Compromise,

From information altogether trust
worthy THE NEWS Is led TO believe that
a compromise settlement OF the trouble
between the Peoples Canal company
aud the American Falls Power and Ca
nal company will soon be made.
As VIC understand IL the settlement
will be entirely satisfactory to all par
ties concerned. A similar settlement
was under consideration many months
ago and had it been made Il would have
benefited large number Of people
and would have brought thousands of
dollars into this community.

The old state is in the midst OF a
campaign for general election in No
vember. About the state ticket there
is little concern. Everybody can fore
tell results, but in local matters the
excitement is running high, all the
same as in Idaho. The negro voter is
an important factor, as he thinks, at
this stage OF the campaign, but when
the votes are all cast and counted, he
will be nonplussed to find that he was
not as numerous as he thought he was.
Some of my gentlemen friends tell me
here that in a campaign there are
great many more negro voters in the
month OF October than the counted bal
lots show in November. They say here
all is fair in love, war and in politics

write OF politics. / do not vote at

s the COIOrs OF the Rainbow to BE
Seen Next Season.
Iankerchiefs next season will be
adler than ever before. They will be
all the colors of the rainbow. in sol
$, stripes, plaids. polka dots and fig
lres. Even white ones will not be
plain, for when not heavily embroi-
dered, they will be lace trimmed not
with one edge of lace as heretofore, but
with several lace frills placed one above
the other and on both sides of the hand
kerchief, for the fashionable article has
neither right nor wrong side.
Many samples shown have centers of
solid colors-colors. not tints-with
borders in contrasting colors. plads,
checks, polka dots and pronounced
floral designs. Other handkerchiefs
appear to be thin bits of colored muslin
over which small flowers or leaves are
strewn. To a careless observer they
seem nothing more or less than hem
stitched squares of printed lawn. Close
inspection shows a linen of the dain-
test quality, with a regular and gen
orally highly artistic design, stamped
as distinctly on One side as the other
Black, navy blue, scarlet and brown
handkerchiefs embroidered in white
black or contrasting colors are to be
used by travellers and should always
correspond in color with the toilet.
Travelling handkerchiefs should never
be lace-trimmed
One of the newest and daintiest hand
kerchiefs to be seen is of sheer white
or light colored linen muslin, with a
triple border of fnely-plaited footing.
The footing, of course, is always white.
There is no hemstitching, the first row
being whipped on a rolled edge, while
the second row is put on, one row on
either side of the handkerchief, just
above. This handkerchief, though so
simple that it could be easily made at
home, is especially dainty looking, and
adapted to go with the most elegant
toilet. Frills of lace are put on in a
similar manner. sometimes as many as
six rows being used to the side. Of
course one great trouble with these
dainty bits of lace-trimmed muslin will
be the difficulty of having them washed,
but the dealers say this objection is
overcome by the narrowness of the lace.
After washing, they need only to be
rubbed over with the iron, and when
taken out for use the lace is pulled out
between the fingers, making the hand
kerchief much fresher in appearance
than it would be were the lace pulled
out on leaving the wash.-N. Y. Sun.
