something that took time and she show

Prime looked back, then she and
Schuyler exchanged significant smiles
and elances. There was rather a ling

Even then she looked back at the boy

There was no answer from the strong

But when the chief would have moved,
Armstrong detained him. "One more

Genuine White BarriOS
Diamonds,

The nearest approach to a genuine
diamond ever discovered. We control
absolutely the agency for these stones
in the United States. so do not con-
found these stones with so-called Rhine
stone, Sumatra, Brazilian, Partisan,
Alaska or, in fact, any other imitation
diamond, regardless of what the name
NAV be. Genuine Barrios Diamonds
are the only stones that have ever been
discovered that cannot be detected
from a diamond; all others are simply
manufactured from chemicals.

City ard vicinity Monday, Tuesday and

OUR windows have always been OBJ
structed by men anxious to secure
genuine diamond and as the ladies are
a little timid, they have hardly had
fair opportunity to see our display and
make a selection. But Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday of this week We
intend it shall be different. In order to
give the ladies an equal chance, as well
as to convince you beyond even the
shadow of a doubt that GENUINE
BARRIOS DIAMONDS cannot be de-
tected from real diamonds, we have
placed fifty genuine diamonds in our
windows weighing from ore-quarter to
one and one-half carats. If you can
pick one out it is yours for
80 cents Gentlemen will kindly
remember that Monday, Tuesday

solely for the ladies. and we courteous
iy request them to step aside and give
the ladies an opportunity to get close
to the windows and examine our dis

be lulled into indifference or careless
ness on account of the showing thus
made, for each year adds additional
burdens to the state which must be
met. The cost of maintaining our au-
merous schools, all of which have been
fully i~naugurated with the exception
of the school of mines. the increased
numbers in u state prison and asy-
lum and in the reform school. orphans
home and soldiers home, all add ad-
ditional burdens which must be met.
We were enabled to make this show
ing largely by reason of the legislation
enacted by the last assembly. Two
of the measures enacted by the Fifth
legislative assembly call for particu-
lar mention at this time. The one In
known as the inheritance tax law"
During 1897 the revenue for the state
produced by this law amounted to
only s136.5s. but during 1895 the state
has received as its portion of said lax
the sum OF s6.9l2.72. This is a tax
which hurts no one and can, with all
propriety, he laid and collected justly.
l would call the attention Of his body
to the first section OF that law, and
ask that you amend IL so as to make
IL more definite n certain as to Its
meaning and Interpretation. and so
that the axe collected under il may
be ascertained and collected with more
certainty, n that real estate as well
as personal property. descending 10
the direct heirs. be assessed for taxa
ton under the law. I would also, II
possible, make IL more imperative as
to just what assessment or appraise-
ment of the estate should be X as
a basis for collecting the tax. for in
numerous instances in large estates I
have noticed an evident desire to avoid
the tax by having an appraisement
made for taxing purposes. The matter
should be made SO plain. definite and
certain that no n could evade the
payment OF levy of that tax.
I desire further to call your atten-
ton to the benefits resulting from The
bill passed by the last legislative az
sembly taxing insurance companies DO
ing business in this state. After the
passage of that law and during 1871
the total amount received by the state
for licenses and taxes from insurance
companies. amounted to t3l .Ois.90. and
during 1888. the collection from that
source aggregated s41.s57.42. All of
this revenue la been collected and
received by the state without adding
