Usually in states where it has been

ing. 1t has been found In nearly
every instance that this can be done
for the same or less expense than un-

This is made possible by the fact that
the central school being we'll graded,
the teachers can handle much larger
classes. Besides being as cheap or
in many instances cheaper the pupils
are given the advantage Of q we'll

The country schools could be much
benefited by this change and it would
be wise move to begin it in Dickin.

Grosaer Against It.

1t has been discovered by Repre-
sentative Grosser, that Senator
Smiths scheme to levy the state tax
on a 'per capita" basis is not new in
Kansas. While rummaging through
the old territorial law books a few
days ago Grosser found that in the
early days Of the territory Of Kansas
a per capita tax Of 81 per head was
levied on all people living in the
territory. II that had been a good
system Of taxation Grosser thinks 1t
would have been continued. The
fact that 1t was discontinued Is a
proof to his mind that it is no good
and that Senator Smith shouldn't
press bis plan further.

-----------------
A New Tax Plan,

The state tax revision committee
Is liable to report favorably on the
Indiana system Of assessment and
taxation. Speaking Of the Indiana
law, Attorney General GODDARD says;
1.-THE principal feature Of the
Indiana law is the directness with
which 1T gets at personal property
revelations. Records are kept Of all
notes, mortgages and bonds issued,
and as far as possible Of all money
on deposit In banks. There is a coun-
ty assessor, who has supervision
over all the local assessors. The
board Of county commissioners,
which, In that state has broader
powers than ours, revises the work
Of the assessors and equalizes the
assessments. The county commits
sioners hold annual meetings and
discuss values. They determine
standards Of value by soil and crop
conditions. Finally the entire work
Is under the supervision Of two state
tax commissioners. As O result Of
the operation Of the law in Indiana
in five years they have trebled their
personal property valuations"
II this plan will correct the tend.
ency Of things in Dickinson county
by which people grow richer and the
personal property valuation grows
smaller 1t will be welcome.

SUICIDE OF DIR. DAILY.


Pittsburg, Pa, June 1O.-Maj. w.
II. DAILY, surgeon general on the staff
of Lieut.. Gen. Miles in Porto Rico,
committed suicide at his home by
shooting himself in the right temple.
The body Of the doctor was found
in the bathroom by Miss Mary Short,
the housekeeper, lying in pool of
blood with 3s-calber revolver "
ing on the floor. DR.. Foster, who was
summoned at once, found the bullet
hole in the temple and announced that
death had taken place several hours
before. Miss Short then remembered
hearing a sharp report at about 1880
a. M, but thought it was the quick
closing of window. No cause is
known for DR.. Days deed, unless it
be that insomnia drove him to TEN.
porary insanity. For some time he
has been unable to sleep regularly.
The doctor was a widower and leaves
no immediate family. He was 50 years
old and for many years has been
prominent in medical circles. He
gained international prominence dur
ing the Cuban war, as 1t was his re-
port to the commanding general of
the army that started the "embalmed
beef" investigation

Guesswork at Beaumont.

CHARLES Way and Ed. Berg Of Nc
Pherson returned from Beaumont
Monday without investing in oil land.
They concur in the statement that
the people down there are oil crazy,
and are leasing land all over that sec.
ton Of the state tributary to the
tract upon which the gushers are
located. All Of the gushers and pay.
ing wells are confined to q tract
covering about sixty acres. Many
wells have been sunk on the other
properties mentioned, but dry holes
have been the general result. Near
Sour Lake q few wells have been
struck that will flow fifty barrels per
day but everybody expects a gusher
and nothing else will satisfy them.
Many men will make q "barrel Of
money" there but the majority will
sink all they invest simply because
in many instances, there is nothing
but big chances to back their judg-
ment.

Kansas for Roosevelt In 1904.

A canvass Of the old soldiers and
the most OF the statesmen at the
Junction City encampment indicates
that Kansas Is for Colonel Roosevelt
for president in 1904. Kansas Re-
publicans made the hero Of Santiago
vice president. Had it not been for
the bold stand the Kansas delegation,
headed by Senator j. R. Burton, took
at Philadelphia, Colonel Roosevelt
would now be governor Of New York
instead Of president Of the most dis
tinguished body Of men in the world
the United States senate.
Kansas will have to stand just as
firm again to land Roosevelt. 1t is
generally believed that the Eastern
Republican leaders are trying to
shape things against him. In fact,
some Kansas politicians have been
sounded as to how this state would
take to the proposition. 1t seems
that Senator Fairbanks, OF Indiana,
has been picked out as the most
available man TO buck Roosevelt
in the West. The people Of Kansas
like the Indiana senator, but they
adore Roosevelt and will line up for
him.
In order to give the Roosevelt boom
impetus Kansas will do for him what
it did for Mckinley in 1896; it will
hold an early convention and instruct
for him-that is II the sentiment OF
those at the Grand Army reunion is q
barometer to the general feeling
throughout the state. Five years
ago Kansas was the first state to de.
clare for Mckinley. 1t will be the
first to declare for Roosevelt the next
time.

Burton replied "somewhe testify" to

declaration that Kansas man, when

INSURANCE FRAUD.
DR.. Unger and F. Wayland Brown Found
Guilty-The Death Of Miss Marie
DefenbaCh.

Chicago, June DIR. August M.
Unger and +. Wayland Brown, on
trial for conspiracy to defraud in
surance companies through the death
of Miss Marie Defenbach, were yes
terday evening found guilty and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary under the
indeterminate. Frank H. Smiley, in
dicted with Unger and Brown, pleaded
guilty and turned states evidence. It
is likely that he will escape with q
light sentence. The evidence in the
case showed that Unger, Brown, Smi-
ley and Miss Defenbach entered into
conspiracy by which Smiley was to
appear as the affianced husband Of
the woman. She was then to be i'll
and apparently die, leaving him the
insurance, which included one policy
in stock company and two in frater-
nal organizations, the total aggregat-
ing $4,000. The woman in her will
said that she desired her remains TO
be cremated and it is supposed that
it was the intention to hurry her
away after her supposed death and
cremate another body procured from
Q hospital.
The woman became sick according
to programme, but did not rally and
died. Her body was at once cremated.
An inquest was held by Assistant Cor.
oner John B. Weckler without jury
and Weckler returned to the coroner's
Office a verdict that the woman had
died of natural causes. The death Of
the woman Is shrouded in mystery
and physicians on the stand differed
widely as TO the cause of death. The
state, however, declared that the
woman was murdered, although II
could not be positively proven. II
was shown that all the insurance car.
ried by the woman was assigned be.
fore her death and that her will was
drawn up after these assignments
had been made.
