Pocatello, Ida. Sept. 1.-THE Salt

three innings for the visitors and was
supplanted by Kidder, who pitched his

Now Looks Like Business

Evidently Gov. Pipgree is coming to his
senses on the question of railway taxation,
and now admits by his action that his pre-
viOus course has been entirely wrong. He
sent special message to the legislature
Wednesday outlining the following program:
l. The passage Of joint resolution pro.
posing an amendment to sections 10, IL and
13 Of article IA of the constitution so that
prop erty of railroads and other corporations
can be taxed upon its cash value,
2. Provide a special election to vote on
the question of revising the constitution.
There being no joint resolution under which
this provision can be made, the governor
says he will call special session at once to
su bmit this question.
8. Enact law creating permanent
state board of assessors to supervise assess
ments throughout the state, enforce the tax
law, etc.
4. Amend the Merriman law so as to
increase railroad taxes at last 81, 900, 900.
This is to be temporary only pending the
revision of the constitution.
The enactment of an income tax law is
also recommended.

Protection Times.

The failures in April, 1899, according
to "Dun's Review" were the smallest
in any month since records by months
began, 3S per cent smaller than in
April of last year, not third of the
amount in 1897, and not half the
amount in April of any previous year.
Both in manufacturing and in trading
they were the smallest ever known in
that month, and in trading the smallest
ever known in any month, as in manu-
featuring they were if the larger fail
ures were omitted. The ratio of de-
faulted liabilities to solvent payments
through clearing houses was less than
20 cents per $1,000, against 80 cents in
January and S1.19 in March, 81 SO in
August and SO .O2 in September, 1896. A
great share of the risk in the business
world has been eliminated. Truly these
are good protection times.

THE TIMES feels that it but voices the
the sentiments of hundreds OF Owosso
and Shiawassee county citizens when 1t
bears testimony to the loss to the whole
community in the death OF Dr. Il. b.
Ward, of Laingsburg. Not only will
his loss be felt among those for whom
he labored in times of sickness, some
times when it would seem that in q
supreme mental effort he cheered and
instilled with hope some feeble sufferer
only at the expense of his own strength
and vigor, itself never too great, but he
will be missed in the homes where nj q
words of wit and cheer, of medical
advice and of political arraignment, Of
droll humor and stern, plain common
sense, will long be remembered tho
they have ceased to appear in his GUS
tomary communications. He was q
student of human nature and SYM
pathizer with it and, tho never strong,
and many times battling with worse
pain than the patients he served, the
only complaint that the world would
hear from him was another side split
ting, humorous contribution which made
his readers believe him to be the most
care-free and pleasure-taking of mortals.
But it was not his habit to thrust his
pain into the faces of those about him.
He could bear it himself, and in
striving to brighten up bit of the path
way of some gloomy or respondent
reader he would brighten his own life
and all would seem well. The COM
munitv, even the state, has sustained
loss which never can be fully known
until the time when all accounts shall
be balanced. In the meantime we shall
miss him-THE TINES and it's readers
will miss him especially-but we shall
know that his good influence still lives
on in the lives of those for whom he has
frightened many an hour and driven
away many a care. The world is better
and richer for his life

To Build or Not to Build.

Henry Watterson, since his idea of
running Admiral Dewey for President
on the democratic ticket has proved to
be of 1.-THE stuff that dreams are made
Of" has apparently lost all hope of
carrying the country for that party in
the immediate future, or else he expects
that party not to adhere to its old-time
policy of free trade. At least such
would seem to be the case, If we are TO
credit Mr.. Watterson with any reason
ing faculties whatsoever. He has of
late been advising men of money to
build new mills. The whole course of
events, both past and present, has
proved that one of the surest ways to
sink good money where it will bring in
no profitable returns Is to invest it in
mills during the time when free trade
is the prevailing policy of the country.
Closed mills do not mean profits, and
closed mills are approximately the only
kind of mills we have under free trade.
If Mr.. Watterson is sincere in his advice
to men of money that they build new
mills 1t must be that he is convinced, as
well he may be, that the policy of open
mills, which is synonymous with the
policy of protection, is to be continued.

Pioneer Laid to Rest .

Died, Friday, May 10, at his residence in
Owosso township, Mr.. Charles Stanlake.
Again death has visited us. Yes, once
more the grim reaper in an unbidden hour
has removed from our midst one of our
most respected citizens. Mr.. Stanlake had
enjoyed usual good health up to within a
week of his departure. His religious faith
was that of the Methodist Protestant, of
which he was faithful, earnest member
for over 40 years.
How death does send us upon the back
ward track Of life! How 1t revives memo
ries of the incidents Of life! How we do
become impressed by them as we never bad
been before! 1t is even because these are
all that is left to us of their subject, and so
carefully we gather them up that we lose
not all by the decease of the loved one we
so fOndly cherished. Influence, memory,
posteritv, are all we retain or inherit from
the dead.
Mr.. StaDlake was born In Devonshire,
England, Feb. Z, 1924. He came to
N@"'NA'S" WIN b'o PoiCbto WIFI tWtlNc
years of age and located at Waterford, Oak
land county, Mich. In 1S47, he was mar.
ried to Caroline Derby, and to them were
born 10 children, of whom six sons and
two daughters are left to mourn his death.
In 1856 he removed to Owosso township
settling on the farm where he lived until
his death. In 1881 death claimed the part
ner of his joys and sorrows. He vas mar
ried Oct. Goth, 1889, to his first wife's sis
ter. who survives him. His death is la.
mented not alone by his immediate family,
as the whole community feels the loss of
true friend, kind neighbor and true citi-
zen, and not least of all the church for
which he so faithfully wrought. May our
lives emulate his, that our hope be as his
in the hour of our departure.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflsmed condition of the mu-
cOus lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal cOndi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucuOus surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
