The prosperity Of this city does not
depend upon any one or half dozen iu-
dividuals Much OF the trouble OF the
past has arisen because there have been
men who, without warrant, have assum-
ed proprietary authority over the city
This assumption only amuses actual men
of business, but annoys others. The
men who assume to think that the town
is a failure without themselves in auth
ority, have less practical business exper-
fence than dozons of others to whom
they attempt to dictate.

Advertising is art being more and
more understood each year. Advertise
ments given upon the basis OF charity,
never return profits. Publishers who
value their columns as Of worth to them
selves and the advertiser, never seek
trade on that basis. At the expense,
possibly of being considered unapprecia-
tive, we openly assert that merchant
is chump who spends money on that
basis. 1t is our desire and effort to as
sist in making good profit for every mer-
chant who advertises dollars worth
with us. We are just as much con-
cerned and anxious as he is, that the ad-
vertisement shall bring returns to him
and at all times expect to make it our
personal concern that the advertising
brings results.

EAT MORE FRUIT.

It IL Healthy and VIII Prevent Your
Becoming Fat
Obesity may be successfully treated
by fruit dietary. This is due not
only to the fact that fruit is natural
food, and thus aids the system to es-
tablish a normal tissue metamorphosts
and a normal balance between the
processes OF assimilation and dissimt-
laton, but also because it affords
very comfortable means Of reducing
the amount of nutrient material re-
ceived to . minimum quantity. Fruit
il chiefly water, the amount OF nutrient
material it contains varying from to
or 10 per cent in most fruits, ris-
ing to high figure only in dried fruits,
such as dried grapes, prunes, dates,
etc. Excessive weight has been re-
duced in the most satisfactory manner
by a diet consisting almost exclusively
of grapes or apples, allowing only q
bit of thoroughly dried bread in con-
nection with the fruit. In some cases
the fruit may be allowed as often az
three or four times day II necessary
to relieve an uncomfortable sensation
of emptiness. In fevers. fruits-espe-
cially in the form of fruit juices-are
most convenient, and certainly the
most appropriate Of all foods. 1t Is
now almost universally recognized that
beef tea and meat preparations of all
sorts should be wholly prescribed in
cases OF fever, as the patient Is al
ready suffering from the accumulation
of waste matters to such . degree that
the addition Of even the small amount
contained in beef tea or a small piece
OF meat may be sufficient to give rise
to an exacerbation Of the disease and
lessen the patients chances OF re-
covery.

SHE SLEEPS FIFTEEN MONTHS

Missouri Woman Awahes Little the
Worse for Her Experience.
From the New York World: Mrs.
Dolly Sercy Of Albany. Mo-, has just
awakened from sleep lasting fifteen
months. A year ago last November
Mrs Sercy became ill and in few
days lapsed into Inconsistencies, from
which she was only few days ago
aroused. Medical men havy puzzled
over the case, but have been unable to
reach an explanation Of this mysterious
malady. No medicines were admins
tered during this time, as the woman
appeared in healthy condition. Nour-
tshment was administered at regular
intervals and the patient seemed to lose
little in flesh. 1t was feared that II
she ever awakened from the long sleep
her mind would be total wreck. but
again the experts have been surprised
at the developments OF this case. One
day Mrs. Sercy suddenly opened her
eyes and in weak voice asked for
her children. She was greatly surprised
at the change which she found in them
after the long interval, but she had
no difficulty in recognizing them and
appeared perfectly rational on every
subject. Mrs. Sercy was not greatly
weakened by her illness, and in few
hours astonished her family and the
physicians by getting out Of bed.

In an interview with Gregoro del Pillar
in the presence of DR.. Robair, close
friend of Aguinaldo. and another peace
commissioner, Iialcita who approved the
sentiments expressed by General del Pillar,
said:
THE insurgents are anxious to surren-
der, but want the assurance first that
there will be no putting to death of the
leaders in the revolution and some proof
that the Americans will carry out the
generous statements in their proclama-
ton. We have been acquainted with the
Americans but a short time. If they are
sincere why we will agree to surrender
Internationally. In negotiations entered
into with the authorized Spanish officers
in the previous rebellion similar promises
We're made, but not carried out. Ruiz and
others We're put to death in spite of the
promises. II we give up our arms we are
at the complete mercy of the Americans.

ished and a continuance of hostilties

The Search for Andree.

II ND now another expedition is to
4 start from Stockholm in search
! of Professor Andree, the North
Pole enthusiast who tried to get there
by the balloon route For awhile after
Andree sailed away in the clouds, re-
ports came thick and fast from towns
way up in the frozen north of the find
ing of carrier pigeons and bottles with
messages from Andree Most of the re-
ports proved to be fakes. No authentic
word was ever received from Andree
after his second day out. The chances
Andree has been a frozen corpse these
many months. But Norwegian and
Swedish scientists still have faith in
Andree's foolhardy undertaking and
have not yet abandoned the hope of
finding the professor alive. They pro-
fess to believe that he landed in North
eastern Greenland and that he Is maxi
ing his way south along the eastern
coast a journey which would require
several years to complete. The spirit
that prompts hardy adventures to
take great risks in exploring the icy
regions of the North may be bold and
intrepid, tut it is none the less fool
hardy and unjustifiable. If Andree is
found alive, there is a fortune awaiting
him in the lecture field. But to find
him, either dead or alive, is like hunt
ing for needle in a haystack.

peace propositions will be doubted.
Doubtless a majority of the Tagals are
anxious enough for peace. Their army
is disintegrating. they are short of arms
and supplies. But they are a treach-
erous lot and don't know what acting
in good faith means. General Otis has
acted wisely in refusing Aguinaldo's re-
quest for an armistice. Either Aguin-
aldo wants peace or he doesn't. If he
desires cessat ton of hostilities, he has
been told often enough how to secure
that desirable result. If he is ready for
unconditional surrender, the prelimina-
ries can be settled in fifteen minutes

interest in the commercial possibilities
of that section. The opening up and
perfection of trade facilities with this
land was one of the dreams of James
G. Blaine. Since his death it has been
largely disregarded, but it is to be
hoped that the researches of Com

will serve to kindle anew the interest
America should feel in securing the
trade of Brazil. Commander Todd as

ploration, but the Dutch secured &C.
tual possession about 1S4S. In 1852 they
received recognition as a goverum ent
from Great Britain. There were very
few British settlers there at that time.
but little later they began to in
crease in numbers and influence, and
soon they began to foment trouble, In
1877 Great Britain annexed the Trans
Vaal to cape Colony on the ground
that such action was necessary to pre-
serve peace in South Africa. In 1881
the Beers revolted, massacred British
troops and forced Great Britain to rec
ognize their internal independence, the
control of the Transvaars foreign af-
fairs to remain in Great Britains care.
Under this arrangement the Uitlanders
claim the right to settle in the Trans
vaal and eventually become full citi-

the Beers, who denounce the uitland-

The Ford Franchise Tax Bill Again
Under Consideration.

Nnuef COnSIuefatIOns
Albany. N. Y, May 22-The New
York legislature, called in special ses-
sion by Governor Roosevelt to amend
the Ford franchise tax bill, met to-
night, listened to the reading of the
governors message and adjourned I'M
til morning. The governor, in his mes
sage, gives his views upon improve
ments to the Ford franchise taxation
bill and suggests lines of improved
ment. u
In concluding his message, Governor
Roosevelt discussed the Ford bill,
which passed the last legislature and
recommends important changes. He
says
1.-The bill before me fails to take ac-
count of the fact that in a very I'M
equal and irregular way many corpo-
rations do already pay certain,
though usually utterly inadequate sum
in taxes. Some pay nothing at all to
the local municipalities; but others pay
sums varying from l to per cent of
their gross earnings. The amounts
have been determined in the most hap
hazard manner and bear no proportion
whatever to the value of the fran
chises or to their earning capacity.
The sum paid in taxes must be allowed
for and deducted, but it is not certain
that this would be done, and in any
event. the principle should be definitely
established in the law itself. There
can be no possible opposition to put
ting it in the law by any man who is
anxious to tax corporations as other
property is taxed and who believed
that this end can be attained by taxing
them as realty. Thereby by taxing
them as realty. we shall tax them at
their real value or not at all: if we
hold to the former, it would be I'M
lust to tax for more than their full
value.
It recommend the enactment of
law which shall tax all these franchises
as realty, which shall not provide for
the assessment of the tax by the board
of tax commissioners and which shall
further provide that from the tax thus
levied for the benefit of each locality
and shall be deducted the tax as not
paid by the corporation in question"
