A Real Irish King.

David 8. 0'Keefe, king of the small ISL
ands of Yap, Ola and St. David which
are about 800 miles from Pelew, has had
an adventurous career.
He is by birth an Irishman, by naturali-
Zation an American. and is 6S years of age.
When he settled at Yap he married a ma
tive princess. who is a shrewd woman and
rules when he is away.
The islands over which he rules are his
by right of discovery and the acquiescence
of the native rulers, and may (says New
Ireland) become the cause of complications
He holds them against the rival claims of
Spain and Holland. Over his islands he
floats the stars and stripes. and on his
single trading schooner he flies the Union
Jack.
O'Keefe is known in Hong Kong as the
"Copra King" He has accumulated an i'm
mense fortune in the cocoanut trade. and
is millionaire aside from his claim to the
islands. He wishes to sell his territory
either to the United States or England.
O'Keefe has complete control over his
chiefs, and has suppressed the slave traffic
which used to be carried on.

Away out in the nation near a running
stream Creek may have taken up what
he has supposed would belong to him. He
has it in cultivation aid improved with
all that he desires. Another Indian sees
the location. he gets his bearings and
goes to the land office and waits his turn;
he pounces down on this quarter section,
gets his certificate and goes back. Then
there is more trouble.
1t Is predicted that litigation over the

will cost millions of dollars in lawyers

Fourth Floor.

IT'S almost impossible to choose de-
partments to advertise, as every
department buyer is demanding space
in the papers, as they all have new and
very desirable articles which they want
the people to know about, and know the
newspaper is the quickest and best way
to tell the people. The Muslin Under.
wear buyers would take three pages for
cuts and descriptions of the Muslin
Underwear now on sale. It's a manu-
facturer's samples that the different
travelling men have carried this
season. We are selling them for less
than we can buy them new for, as we
bought them for cash at a big cut in
price. Our Shoe buyer would take a half
page talking about Queen Quality Shoe,
"a. 90. There is no doubt it's the best
$500 Ladies' Shoe ever made, and he
has good reason to go wild over the
shoe, as it is a great success. Our Boys
Clothing buyer expresses himself this
way: Il know it, and my customers tell me IT'S
so, and hear it on all sides, and know
it's so that we have the best made, best
STYLES in Boys Clothing in Kansas City,
and nobody even with inferior makes is
selling any cheaper than we are"
This is strong language, but he seemed
to know what he is taking about and we
know he knows the Boys Clothing busi-
ness. There is a new department on
the Fifth floor that is making trouble
Wall Paper. 1t has been impossible to
get more Wall Paper salespeople and
we have not been able to wait on over
one out of three customers. We know
we have the right buyer and the Wall
Paper the people want. but We have failed
to secure enough statesmen to wait upon
the trade. Our Jewelry buyer would
take page to tell what he is going to
sell on The Square to-day, but we
have cut him down. Take our Gloves
and Ribbon departments. They think
they are badly sighted, as we refuse
them space in the paper. Why! Be
cause they are just where the people
all pass and everybody is learning about
our new Gloves and Ribbons so fast that
the counters are always crowded. We
love to see it, and there is lady's face
behind each counter that's too happy for
words to express-it's the buyers. We
are yerv proud of our new Gloves and
Ribbons. Fifth Floor-fifth FIoor-Fifth

State Treasurer Has Prepared State
ment Blank for the Use of
County Treasurers.

TOPEKA, April 2o.-(Special0 The state
treasurer has prepared an improved set of
statements for county treasurers in their
semi-annual remittances of taxes. Here
tofore when a county treasurer sent in
money to apply on delinquent taxes the
state treasurer had to guess what year s
back taxes the county wished to pay. Some
few county treasures have been so con-
Quoted in past years that the present Off
Ger can easily tell to what years the de-
linquent taxes should apply, but this is not
common.
BY the new system complete state
ment is made of the back taxes, for all the
different years of their delinquency. The
county treasurers use these statements
when forwarding their current taxes, and
with the figures of their delinquent taxes
more prompt In their payments.
This is only one of the many new and
improved methods which are being UNDER
taken at the state treasury this year.
