An Odd Occupation Tax.

The city council Of Clay Center has
adopted an unique occupation tax in
tended to raise money by making it
an interest to the business men TO
pay their local taxes promptly. The
ordinance provides that license tax
shall be required Of any person or
corporation commencing business in
the lines specified, the same to be re-
funded upon the presentation to the
mayor and city clerk Of areceipt from
the county treasurer showing the full
payment of all general taxes on the
stock upon which license has been
paid. Penalty for violation Of the
ordinance is fixed at not less than 800,
The taxes range from $40 to 5000,
most Of them being 800 to $3.50. 1t
will be fun collecting.

Some Morning Stars.

For readers of the REFLECTOR who
are automatically inclined, there is a
> very interesting and beautiful sight
in the eastern sky about 5 O'Clock
these clear mornings. Three planets,
Venus, Jupiter and Mercury, may all
be seen. The brightest is Venus,
and directly under and very near to-
gether are the other two. They are
only twelve minutes Of an arc apart
and it is very rare sight to see these
two planets apparently so near each
other. The astronomer may now have
the very unusual privilege of viewing
the largest and smallest Of the planets
at the same time in the field Of his
telescope. Measured in miles, how
ever, they are separated by something
like $3.50, 900. 900 miles. The small
err planet Of the two, the one to the
north, is Mercury. Look at him
well, for owing to his nearness to the
sun, he may seldom be seen, and
when seen, it is rare that he may be
so easily identified.

sUFFER,l rs BURIED.
Intermeat at Topeka = Strange Pass
Ing Of Two Brothers.

Glen Suifern who was murdered
near Topeka as reported in yester-
days REFLECTOR was buried at Tope-
ka Thursday evening. No new de-
tails of his death are known.
1t is a curious circumstance that
his brother was killed mysteriously
in st. Louis last April. His brothers
widow wrote Mr.. Suifern to come and
help her look after his brothers bust
ness, coal and ice. He went to ST.
Louis sevaral weeks ago and the next
heard of him was the news Of his'death
at Topeka. There has been no iden-
titication beyond the letter found on
the corpse. One John Stafford told
the Topeka Journal that Suffern had
looked after Saffords mothers farm
here and he knew him Clement Bell
of Holland, a cousin of the deceased
and his only relative in this state,
says it is not so. Suffern never
looked after anyboiy's farm. He
was farm hand, quiet, unof-
fensive and easily influenced. He
was aged 81 years; when he started
for St. Louis had but little money.
He was warned then that he would
better not take the trip as it was
feared that harm would come to him.
Mr.. Bell would have gone to identify
the body but the coroner's telegram
from Topeka was so worded that he
supposed it was well known who the
deceased was. The Stafford interview
is entirely false. There is bare pos.
sibility that the deceased was not
Sufrern at all, though the letter found
on his person was evidently written
to Suffern by J. P. Campbell. 1t l.
probable that nothing more will evel
Sc known as to the reason or circum'
btances OF his death.

of Abilene claims more for prayer
than we ever heard of before. He
says that when he gets hard up and
wants money all he has to do is to
pray sincerely for what he wants and
in due time SEINE one will meet him
on the street and without ceremony
give him what he needs. We have
often heard it said that luck beats
science all to pieces but this beats
luck and science both or we will GER

settling near Junction City. After
ward he moved to his late home. he
came to Kansas with no means
but with great faith in the value OF
Kansas soil and particularly in the
bottomlands of this section. HE add
ed to his farm until he owned hun
dreds OF acres, his home farm being
nearly 1000 acres in big bend OF
the river. His wealth is estimated at
$12O,OOO to $4,000 OF which about
$4,000 was in securities and cash,
the remainder in Kansas land.
He leaves a wife but no children,
A brother living at Leayenworth is
the only other near relative in the
state.
When Mr.. Lundregan came to Kan
sas he and his wife lived in a little
cabin and they were very poor Ihey
have often remarked on the care WIN
which they saved the pennies in those
DAYS. Their first saving came from
selling 400 pounds of butter during
war times. Mr.. Lundregan was
ouiet unobstrusive and kind hearted.
Few realized his sterling business
qualities because he hid his light
from the world. But none who knew
him failed to know his kindly heart
and worthy nature. Widespread
sympathy will be felt for the wife left
now SO lonely.
Funeral services were held at
