The county commissioners met this
week and fixed the tax levy at one
half mill less than last year.
In the matter Of the claim of the city
of Kinsley for interest collected on de-
liuquent taxes, it was decided to re-
commend that the county treasurer
adjust this with the city. dating from
mated that this will give the city about
5000. Kinsley school district,3 No. l.,
is probably entitled to about the same
amount. The school districts through
the county will not be much affected
by this question, as the majority of
this fund has probably been derived
from city property.

WHAT THE LAW DECIDES.

]
 The right to use the name of a cor Doration is held, in Huntington vs. Pal mer (R. I), 43 L. R. A. 95, to be dis tinet from the right to use the name of articles manufactured by it, and not to pass with the latter on a purchase of the plant, machinery, stock and vis- ible property of the company.
 The enforcibility of a stockholders liability in jurisdiction outside of that in which the corporation was ere ated is sustained in Bell vs. Farwell llll.), Az L, R. A. S04, in case of Kan sas corporation, on the ground that the stockholders liability under Kansas law is not penal, but contractual
 The suf1ciency of presentment and demand of payment made on receiver pendente lite of an insolvent bank, and of notice of non-payment by him, to bind an indorser of a negotiable cer- tificate of deposit issued by the bank before it's insolvency, is denied in Jack son Ys. McInnis (Ore.), 43 l.. R. A. 128.
 The right of a married woman to maintain an action in her own name to recover damages for the alienation of her husbands affections is sustained in Beach Vs. Brown (Wash), 45 L. R. A. 114, under statutes abolishing disabil- ities of married women, and it is also held that procuring divorce will not preclude the action.
 The lia hilifzr @f o l.,r A;o I,t tract is sustained in Flach vs. Gott- schalk company (Md), 42 L. R. A. 745, if the contract is fair and reasonable in its terms and was made with one who did not know of the lunaey, when that had not been judiciously ascertained, and where the parties cannot be re- stored to their original situation.
 The constitutional provision against ex post facto laws is held, in Murphy vs. Com. (Mass,), 43 L. R. A. 154, to condemn statute which alters or may alter in a substantial manner the posi- tion of those who committed offenses before its passage, even if in a partic- ular case it might operate more bene- feially than the prior law would have done. And this rule is applied where a statute changed the provision as to de- ductions for good conduct and permits to be at liberty.
 The evidence of expert witnesses as to the value of services is held, Tn Hull vs. St. Louis (Mo), 42 L. R. A. 753, to be merely advisory, to be given by the jury such weight as they deem it en- titled to, or to be altogether disregard ed by them, if, from all the facts and circumstances in evidence. they believe the testimony of the experts to be un- reasonable. A full review of the au- thorities on the conclusiyeness of ex- pert testimony is presented in the ex- tenstye annotation to this case.

INQUlSITORIAL
Methods of Collecting Taxes Instituted
 by an omcial of San Francisco.

by an Official of San Francisco.
 They are going to collect the tax, the whole tax, and nothing less than the tax out in California. It seems that there have resided in the city of ups and downs many of that ubiquitous class of citizens who believe it cheaper to lie than to pay taxes. Salaries, it is rumored, were falling behind; his honor needed cuspidors in his office. The methods adopted by the new as- sessor, elected on a reform platform of his own making, whose name, cur iously enough, is Dodge, savers pung- ently of the ancient inquisition. The way the thing has been done in most cities is for the deputy collector to call and leave blank. This re- ceiying no attention beyond few minor items, such as "Steinway piano, twenty-five dolls;" household goods, furniture, ehattels, etc, one hundred dolls.," the deputy humbly pockets what he knows to be lie and goes his way; the result being that the very S1gnef or Such a llDel IS oDllgeu loR another year to stumble over the pave ments he has since childhood decried, and stand up for more months in the street cars, whose overloaded condi- tion he has in print so violently exc crated. These unmethods are de- clared by Dodge archaic. The new way is to force ones way into house and estimate the value of the goods from the standpoint of an outsider. The procedure is naturally meeting with much opposition, even by those who voted for reform and MT. Dodge. The latter gentleman, however, Is seemingly careless of a reelection and pursues the even tenor of his way all undisturbed. The constitutionality Of the case is being contested in the San Francisco courts.

 A moment after he had succeeded in croWding the last bit through his throat he began to hiccough, says the Cleveland Leader.

 Well, don't get impatient, dear she said. T told you the other day that you ought to take something for your digestion. You're all run down. The hiccoughs prove that I was right. Your stomaeh's out of order or you wouldn't have them"
 "Oh, don't make a-hic-fool of yourself, retorted MT. Wiekleson. My digestion hasn't anything to do with it. If you and that fool girl knew how to run things around a house maybe these troubles wouldn't come up. Why the dickens don't you have some place for your cakes and things where a person won't be finding them in front of him all the time? You haven | any more idea how a house should be run than a 9-year-old child. Or, at least, keep some water on ice, so that one can get drink without waiting to fix it up."
