FOR LOWER ASSESSMENTS.
Pleas Made to the Board of Tax Com.
missiOners.

C. z. Mills and Thomas Mccoy. repre-
senting the Jasper County Telephone Com
pany. were before the State Board of Tax
commissioner yesterday morning. The
company owns 10 miles of telephone wire
in this State. and it is assessed at the rate
of Sis per mile. Both gentlemen declared
that the company was not making a cent
and asked the board TO make a reduction in
the assessment. The company made about
$1,000 last year, but its expenses amounted
to $500, and 1t carries a 5000 debt.
At the afternoon session John NJ. Clark.
of Cleveland, o.. representing the Nickel
plate line. made a very strenuous plea for
a reduction I'm the assessment of his road.
He said that his road was properly a long
haul road, and that it derived very little
revenue from the State of Indiana. The
road is assessed in this State for Isl miles
at $4,000 a mile. Mr.. Clark said the bust
ness of the road in this State was very
similar to that of the Erie Railroad, whose
assessment was considerably lower than
that OF the Nickel-plate road.

jeering children who cried, "See, these
people lave no goitres," as If to be with
out a goitre was a physical deficiency.
Similarly, the prevalence of irregular
periods among young women, and the
conmonness of facilitating drains
among married women have created
the mischievous idea that these are the
natural conditions of ~womanhood.
In normal health the periods should
be regular and painless and there should
be neither drains nor pains for the mar
RED woman. To regain that normal
condition of health is possible to every
woman who will make a trial of DR..

lates the periods, dries up the drains,
and cures liberation and inflammation.

Rehearing in Eel River Case.

A petition for the rehearing of the Eel
River Railroad case. in which the Supreme
Court recently held that the railroad had
forfeited its corporate franchises by aban-
doning part of it's road and leasing the rest
to a rival company which owned a COM
peting line. was filed yesterday in the Su-
preme Court.
The court is urged to reconsider the
grounds on which the forfeiture and prop
erty seizure has been decreed. The argu-
ment in support of the petition states that
the alienation of the road was shown to
have been made in good faith and under
the belief that such a contract was lawful,
and IL further points out hat the Eel
River Company offered to resume possess
sion and operation of its road if the court
should decide It's lease to be in excess of
it's powers or unlawful.

Grain rates from all southwestern Mis-
souri, river points to the east. north and

age of 5 cents per 100 pounds. BY the ar
rangement that has enabled the Western
roads to increase the grain-carrying
charges, the rate from Kansas City and con-
tguous districts to Galveston will be much
lower than to Chicago and the northeast
ern points. This is expected to divert much
grain to the gulf points.
