THE TAX SALE LAW.
Have Counties the Right 70 Buy Cert d
Gates g-Test Case Taken to Supreme
Court FOR an Opinion.

Court Tor an Opinion.
Men who have been obtaining good
lands at q redieulousIy low price,
by buying up tax sale certificates in
Kansas, have been deprived of q source
Of much profit under the operation Of
a law Of 1893 which authorized county
treasurers to buy all such lands.
In Shawnee county there was bit
ter fight against the commissioners be
cause Of the refusal Of the board to
permit the spectators to get in on
this business and reap a handsome
profit therefrom. There were all sorts
of threats against the commissioner
injunctions, mandamusses, and what
nOt-but nothing was ever done to get
the Interpretation Of the supreme
court upon this law and the PROPOSE
tiOns that have attached to it since
the enactment.
However, the supreme court will
pass on the validity of this particular
provision undermining a suit which
has been fled therein by Frank L.
Martin, of Hutchinson. The suit, which
is in the nature Of a mandamus pro-
ceeding, involves the eonstitutionslity
Of thelaw.
Clients represented by Mr.. Martin
offered the county treasurer, at a regu-
lar tax sale, the amount Of money ac-
crued in delinquent taxes and other
charges against land offered for sale
/ following the legal advertisement
thereof by the county treasurer.
Under an order made by the com
missiOners the treasurer refused to &C
cept the bid made by Mr.. Martin for
his clients, and the treasurer, instead,
bid the farm property in for the cOun-
ty, in accordance with the provisions
Of the law Of 1898.
] Now Mr. Martin has brought in the
supreme court a mandamus proceed
ing asking the court to compel the
county treasurer to accept the bid
which be made for the land, take the
money in payment, and issue therefor
a tax sale certificate
The question has been an issue
among real estate men and land puT-
chasers for several years, and the pas
sage of the law Of 1898 made many
complications in proposition in
which the buyers had it all their own
way prior to that time. In some cOun-
/ ties the matter has been dropped, but
where men see a particularly valuable
piece of land offered at tax sale they
are always very DESTROYS Of owning it,
and trouble generally follows.
It has been pointed out by those
who are in favor Of open competition
in bidding at annual tax sales, that the
county has no right to interfere with a
Legitimate business transaction by ap-
prOpriating in its own name whatever
property, however valuable, that may
be sold under the sherifF's hammer for
taxes.
All these questions will be determin-
ed by the suit which Judge Martin has
fled, and its outcome will be watched
with keen interest in every county in
the state, because in every county in
Kansas there are men engaged in bust
ness of this character, and the enforce
ment Of this provision of the law finds
them without much assured profit in
the purchase of tax sale certificates

 Among the comliest of these women are Moon Eyes, Sweet-wind-Over-w ttr. Ada, Evaucslina and Starlight.
 Indian Agen5 AIischener has done his best to comfort his charges by telling them of their bright prospects of again marrying and possibly securing white husbands. much handsomer than the wrinl5led old m whom they wer= for merly married to. To prove the truth of rhe agents words many white men have latcly invaded the territory and paid court to the dark-skinned beau ties.
 As many of the squaws have a head right of 5000 or more, many white ad- ventureTs, attracted m rely by the pe- cuniary gain, bargain for these women. Mercenary white men are striving in this way to control the lands that the Indians have been given possession of
 On of the prettiest of the young wo- men has confided to the Indian agent that she didn't like t5 marry a white man for two reasons. The first was that the white man wanted womans money only. The second reason, and tllt Ci4t lHdI seemed 10 nave most weight with her. was that she didn't like the white mans wedding ceremony as well as she dii the Indian.
 The weddings cf this tribe are gay affairs. 4 number of bucks race for the brides pony and maiden squaws compete in the same way for her robe.
 During the wedding festivities, the bride, deliberately gown1d in a white robe of buckskin, covered with silk and adorned with many ornaments. includ- ing costly diamonds, emerges from her wigwam. During he race for the pony the brides mother div5 sts her of her beautiful wedding garments. leaving her clad in a light flowing blanket.
 Then the briGegr, ,om runs from his Wigwam, throws his blankr- around her and carries her off to his happy hOme-N. Y. Journal.

 The milky way is mine f wonders to the astronomer. The telescope shows that it is composed of thous- ands of minute stars clust-rel in ragu- lar irragularity. It extends entirely around the celestial sphere part If it being so near the south pole of the heavens as never to ba visible in these latitudes. In places it Is ind scribably dense. Photographs show apparently countless multituGzs of suns In other places there are great dark gaps, ab- solutely devoid of stars. Sometimes it's boundaries are sharp cut. At other times it fades irsensibly into the less crowded clusters beyond its limits. But the most remarkable fact about the milky way is that it marks the out lin-s of some yCt unknown law govern ing the distribution of the stars in space. It is a well established fact that the farther from the milky way a constellation is. tha fewer stars are to be found therein and the place sof min imum density is .eached al the poles of the galaxy.

sus high up in the east, the bright southern star Fomalhaut low down in the southeast and the rising Capella in the northeast. Pegasus represents the winged horse which, according to the Greeks. sprang form the blood of the M dUsa when slain by Perseus. It takes an active imagination to see the horse, but the square is one of the best marked obj cts among the constella- tions. Foma]haut is the most southern bright star ever visible in the latitude of New York. Capella is known of all. It's clear, white light is noteworthy among first magnitude stars.
 
 Jupiter and Saturn are still visible in the evening sky during September, although the best time for their ob- sarvation this year is past. An excep- ticnally close approach of the moon to Jupiter on the evening of September is noticeable. A still closer approach takes place on the early morning of the 29th. Of course at that hour Jupiter will be below the horizon to observers in this part of the world. but the planet and the moon will be near together on the evening previous. Saturn is near the moon on the evenings of the 3rd and the 30th. Of the other planets Ve- nus is the only one meriting atentiOn this month. Venus is the glory of the morning sky. She reaches her greatest distance from the sun on the morning Of the 17th The journey back is a leis- ureIy one, however, and the early riser will be delighted with the beautiful radiance of Venus for some months to come.
 The full moon nearest the autumnal equinox is known as the harvest moon. At that time the nightly difference in the rising of the moon is the least of the year. On an average the moon rises 51 minutes later each night but this is subject to great variation. In the lat itude of New York the least possible retardatiOn Cf moon-rise is g minutes and the greatest is l hour and r min utes. Now, it is evident that the full moon which coincides with the mini mum retardation in rising will afford moonlight practically all night long for several successive nights. This hap pens at the autumna1 equinox. This year the moon is full September s and October s. and the equinox is about half way between. September 23. The full moons of both September and October then will be more conspicuous than those of the rest of the year.
 
 It is remarkable how many educated people seem to have vague notions about the apparent motions of the moon. The fabled painting in which the artist represented the moon rising in the east contains no absurdity for them. A little care in noting the course of the moon throughout a months rev olutiOn would give them some new ideas. The fact that the moon moves easteriy among the stars from night to night would be hailed by them as new discovery should they chance to make it themselves. Perhaps even more hay ideas exist regarding the expla- nation of the phases of the moon. The writer once met very intelligent young womdu-a public school teacher in fact-who honestly thought that the moons phases were due to the shadows of the eartil.

THE DESERTED WIVES
A Nj lancholy Little Colony of Indian
 Won2E at Darlington, l.. T

The super1uous wives whom the | Unied States government compelled the Kiowa Indian men to abandon q month ago are very disconsolata. Among the eco brown skinned women who are thus left husbandless there have been some pathetic scenes en- acted in connection with the enforcing of this law. Two of the discarded ! wives of Mario, q chief. committed suicide. Six squaws belonging to Tall Elk, killed themselves because they had to leave their lords tepee. AS many more are dying of broken hearts. Curiously enough. these aban- Goned wiv-s are the youngest and handsomest women of the tribe. They had n,arly all been bought al high prices by their former husbands as or naments for the tent homes of the red men. Among the Kiowa Indians the importance of man among his tribes has hitherto been ,stimated by the number and comeliness of his wives.
 Every ambitious and well-tu-do h. dian made il a point to add one new wife to his narem each year. These w're usually purchased at a cost of ten to 100 ponies.
 The decree of the government abol- ishing polygamy among the Kiowas. Comanche and Apache Indians was therefore a severe blow to the old braves.
 The legal separation commenced at Darlington. Indian Agent Mischener and Captain TuIlington. of the regular army, had issued a call to all the red skins to meet them in Darlington.
 
 Were showing in the sky the braves and their wives began l. arrive. The men drove in buggies with their wives be- side them. Perhaps the squaws were better treated that day than they ever had been before. the men devoting themselves to them and showing them many little marks of affection.
 There is popular idea among white D. ople that the life of an Indian wom- an is hard one. So it was generally supposed tha, the comedy young Indian Wom would welcome their freedom from bondage.
 But 1t has turned ont quite different ly. When tha men of the Kiowa tribe were called upon to choose one among their wives to retain and discard the rest. they invariably selected the old est. fattest and appars ntly .he ugliest one among the lot. When an interpre- ter inquired the reason of this an old Indian said:
 First wife m- like best" That seemed 60 be the prevailing sentiment among all the Indian men.
 This stern loyalty to first love did not make the lot of the discarded wom- en any the less hard There was no outcry and weeping among them. That is not an Indians way of show ing grief. look of stern. fixed detec- ton came to the copper-colored faces. The discarded wives were sent away ;o the agency building. The govern ment is preparing to take care of She women until their reservation is thrown open to settlement. which will be in tha coming winter. Then they will have m.ney enough to keep them selves.
 T. misht be supposed that this would heal all their heart wounds. But most of the women are still going about the agency with sorrowful faclS
