BOUND TO FIGHT.
Jerry Simpson Will Attempt to Enlist
in the Navy.

Washington, June Jerry Simpson
has been a hard man to find in these
troublous times of grave decorations
and camp gatherings, but correspond
ent ran him down after many failures
this morning, and asked him what he
intended doing now that Governor
Leedy had declined to give him a
chance to secure a colonel'S pension af-
ter this brush with Spain shall be over.
Jerry set his teeth and smiled bitterly.
Governor Leedy, he said, could not
check his patriotic ardor by refusing
him a coIonePs commission. Although
he had served three months in the
army, said he, he knew just as much
about the navy as he did about fight
ing on land, and he would offer him
self to the marine branch of the gov

Il commanded a vessel for fourteen
years." said Jerry.
What sort of a vessel-a prairie
schooner" asked a bystander.
Jerry smiled viciously, gave his
trousers a sailor-like hitch, and with
drew, declaring that he would let moth
ing stand in his way to war, neither
ridicule, Leedy, nor his list of disabili-
ties.

Col Fred Funston Wearies of Contin-
ued Inactivity.

lola, June I'm a letter to Chas. F.
Scott of this city Col Fred Funston
says:
I am here like everybody else, wait
ing. Gen. Miles is still in Washington
but the most of his staff are already
here. There are in camp in the suburbs
of the city about 10000 soldiers, of
whom 10000 are regulars, and in the
bay are twenty transports ready to
take them to Cuba. The invasion is
being delayed, not only by the fact that
the Spanish fleet is still at large, but
by the wretched equipment of the vol
unteers. Even the crack National
guard regiments of New York and
Pennsylvania are in no condition to
go to the front. So few of the old men
of these regiments volunteered to go
and such a large proposition of raw
material got in that the regiments are
only half drilled.

possession. The young fellow and the
farmers wife were soon desperately in
love, and when the old man complained
he was whipped by the interloper. The
proceedings soon became so scandalous
that the young man chased the old man
the old man cried and sobbed over his
disgrace, his wife called out to him:

return. If the neighbors do not white
cap the young man, they will not do

THE NEVER ENDING TAX FIGHT

The Rockefellers Of Tarrytown, N. Y,
are about to enter upon another fight
with the assessors. The Rockefellers
are not exceptions among their class in
the matter of endeavoring to avoid
paying so far as possible their share of
the public burden.
The Goulds have done the same
thing and possibly the Astors. But no
body has heard of a Rockefeller con-
tributing $4,000 to the war fund or
fitting out a battery at his own ex-
pense for the use of the gOvernme nt.
To millionaires who show their good
will in such wise, much may be for
given.
True, John D. Rockefeller has contri-
buted literally to a certain institution
of learning and to the particular church
with which he affiliates, but the public
is prone to view these donations in the
light of favors conferred upon particu-
lar friends.
1t isn't that the Rockefellers cannot
pay their dues, but merely that they
will not unless forced to.
The RockefeIlers say their taxes are
too high, and the assessors say the
Rockefellers have been getting off too
cheaply and must now pay for the fun
of having broad estates and million
dollar palaces.
John D. Rockefeller owns about half
of the village of North Tarrytown. His
belongings there are only speck on
the ocean of his wealth, but the asses
sors last year increased the assessed
valuation of the land and houses one
million dollars.
John D. Rockefeller had built a few
roads in his yard, had put in a lake or
two and had made sundry additions to
enough had been done to warrant the
increase. Mr.. Rockefeller claimed that
the value of his property had not been
enhanced.
The amount that the assessors asked
was $244.77O. William Rockefeller was
let off with 1000.
The matter went to the courts. Mr..
Rockefeller's lawyers said that the suit
was brought a matter of principle.
Thousands of dollars have been spent
by each side, and the case, still unset
tied, promises to become another Jarn-
dyce VS.. Jarndyce.
This year John D. Rockefeller is as
sessed 1928, 161, and William $4,000 1t
is a clear victory of IS, SOC for the one
and $1,000 even for the other, but they
are not satisfied, and will bring another
suit.
against the assessors of Mt. Pleasant
in 1896 and has started new round
every year since. The suit of 1896 has
had more than 200 hearings and the end
is not yet in sight. In Mt. Pleasant
William Rockefeller has his palace,
lockwood Hall, with 600 acres, and it
was the valuation of this property at
$2,5O0,O00 which caused the trouble.
John D. Rockefeller is estimated to be
worth 5000, 100000. Besides the home at
North Tarrytown he has a home at No.
West Fifty-fOurth street, New York,
another in Cleveland, and a third in
Greenwich, Conn. But the home in
North Tarrytown was always the ia
vorite until the county needed money
and the valuation of the place was
raised by the assessors from $1OO, 900 to
$1.00o,O0O. His lawyers say a new suit
will be filed this year.

NO FIRE PROTECTION.
K q. Buildings Uninsured and Water
Supply Shut Off

Lawrence, June 1.-The recent de-
structive fire at Kansas university has
awakened the authorities to the fact
that nearly all of the other buildings
are in danger of the same element not
being fire proof and the city water
supply being practically shut off.
There is great anxiety, especially in
regard to Snow hall, the finest struc-
ture on the campus, with it's museum
of natural history specimens, some of
which could not be duplicated in the
world The value of this museum alone
is estimated at $4,000 and yet there is
no insurance or protection of any kind
against fire. A strenuous effort is be-
ing made to secure the means for a
new fire-proof building.

GORED BY A BULL
John Anderson of Lyon County, Like

Emporia, June John Anderson,
living ten miles north of here on the
Burlingame road, met with an acct
dent last evening which will probably
result in his death He was feeding his
bull in the barn lot. about o'clock,
when the animal suddenly became en-
ragged and made a vicious charge on
him. Anderson was gored in the breast
and his collar bone and shoulder bones
were broken. DR.. Meffert, of this city,
was summoned to attend the injured
man and he reports that the latter is

circumstances However, Anderson
