Found Dead in Bed.

Franklin Taylor, aged nearly sew
enty-slx years, a highly respected
resident of this town, was found dead
in bed, at his home, on East Fourth
street, Saturday morning. Mr.. Tay-
lor had not been sick previous to
Friday night, but a short time be-
tore retiring he complained of feeling
chilly. Nothing was thought of it,
however, until Saturday morning
about six o'clock, when his son,
on entering the room, found the aged
man cold in death. Mr.. Taylor, for
a man OF his age, was well preserved,
scarcely gray hair being noticeable
in his head. For many years past he
was the janitor of the Fifth street
public school building. He is sur
vived by wife and -four sons, all res
idents of this town, namely: William
B., Charles X, Harry and John. The
funeral occurred on Tuesday after
noon, services being conducted by
Revs. McLlnn and Conner.

Y, III, u, A. OPENING.

New Years Day, always bright and
cheerful with the joyous wishes of
friends for Happy New Year, was
an especially bright one for the Y. M.
&. "A. Of our town, because the As
sociation moved into their new quar-
tiers, the Neal building, on Market
square.
This very suitable and desirable
house was secured through the efforts
of our General Secretary, Mr.. c. ID.
Lynn, and his fellow workers, and for
mally opened and dedicated to its
new use on the afternoon and even
ing of January Ist, 1900. Open
house was kept from to 4:3o p. M.
and at 8 p m. very successful pro-
gram was rendered, which we subjoln.
There was a very encouraging at
tendance throughout the day, and in
the evening the audience filed all the
rooms and gave excellent attention to
all that was SAID and done. 1t was
something new IN Bloomsbury and
most auspiclous beginning for what,
we trust, shall be departure in asso-
citation work, and Christian hearts are
being lifted to God, that He may &C
cept and use this home TOR His glory
in the general good and the salvation,
moral and spiritual improvement of
young men. We bespeak for these
pleasant, attractive rooms, growing
attendance, and for the work of the
association, willing hearts and hands
as helpers.

KANSAS NEWS.
City of Hunnewell in a Sad But
Amusing Condition.
The Treasury Empty and Bills
Cannot Be Paid.
HAS TWO RESOURCES.
An Occupation Tax and Dog
Tax the Sole Income.
Marshal Collects Enough to Pay
Salary and Resigns.
No One to Act and Those Who
Have Paid Are Mad.

Hunnewell, June 27.-The leading
question that agitates the present city
administration is the way out of the
present financial embarrassment in
which the city is placed. AT present
there is no money in the treasury and
the city is in debt, the council at its
last meeting having allowed bills to the
amount of SO more the treasury con-
tanned.
The occupation and dog taxes as they
are now re NIlated viii amount to about
800, if collected. and for one month ;.
NJ. Epperly was paid salary Of $40 and
lect these taxes During the month he
collected $23.10 and lighted a few street
lamps. Out of this amount he received
$40 for his services; then he resigned.
OF the bills perhaps the largest
amount allowed was 80 some dollars for
putting pump in the city well at the
crossing on Main street. But some OF
these workmen who were a little slow
in getting around to the city treasury
the next day were left-or at least until
the city collected more dog or occupa-
ton tax. Now that Mr.. Epperly has re-
signed and no one chosen to succeed
him, there is no one except the clerk or
treasurer to collect this tax.
1t is evident that a warm fight will
ensue in the city council soon, over
proposition to refund all dog or occupa-
ton tax already collected, or to imme-
diately collect the rest of it. But there
is no money in the treasury with which
to refund, and no city marshal to collect
the tax; neither can the bills be paid.

A Harvey County Capitalist Too Busy
With Farming to Waste Time.


Burton, June 27.-John w Shive,
president of the Burton State bank, is
a farmer. Five miles out of Burton
Mr.. Shive owns one of the largest and
finest ranches in Kansas. Thousands of
fine cattle and horses roam over his
broad acres, and the value of the crop
raised on the ranch in a single year
would make any man independent for
life
In managing the affairs of the ranch
and the bank at Burton, Mr.. Shive
found that the ranch required most of
his time. He accordingly put in a pri-
vate telephone connecting the bank with
his residence on the ranch and now he

business the cashier of the bank calls

of his money on the farm. He came to

LAJoIE's RETURN.
Philadelphians Know Not Whether
to Rejoice or Hiss.

Philadelphia, June 27-Lajofe will be
able to play ere long and every resident
OF the Quaker City is deeply concerned
as to what kind of a reception will be
given him.
Some say he should be greeted as the
returning prodigal son. Others insist
that charavari party, with the usual
accompaniment of horse adde's tin
cans and catcalls, would be a fit greet
ing. Meanwhile Lajoie sits in the lee
of the club house, where the sun. beats
but seldom, with his thumb. still
bandaged, pointing heavenward, while
he meditates on the mutability of earth
~ fame and a chew of good plug to-
bacco.
Certainly Philadelphia has nothing
for which to thank him from a baseball
standpoint. His effort to play the
bully has been setback for the Quakers
that they have felt sorely Were it not
for the fact that they have been lucky
enough to meet other mines in a Grip
pied condition, while they have been in
the lame and halt class themselves.
they would be long way from the TOP.
Lajoie should thank his patron saint
that he was not fined a good, round sum
for his tantrum in addition to losing
every cent of his salary during his en-
forced vacation.
