THE TAX BILL.
The Commission is Well Salts
fed With Its LabOrs.

The tax commission appointed to
draft the bill to revise the Kansas
methods of assessment and taxation
has put the final touches upon the pro-
posed measure and will later write its
report to accompany the presentation
to the legislature. The provisions in
the new bill of 100 pages and 250 sec
tions have already been covered in
these columns. They may be sum
married. as follows:
There are 229 sections of the old law
repealed.
There will be a county assessor elect
ed for four years and ineligible for re-
election. He appoints deputies, none
of which can assess territory in winch
he resides He is required to examine
public records, to get notes, mortgages
and judgments and bring out hidden or
omitted property
The law is stringent regarding the
assessment at full value.
The state tax commission is composed
of two tax commissioners elected Tor
four years and the secretary of state
and the state treasurer. Tne former
two put in their whole time, nave gen
eral supervision over county assessors
and sit with the latter two as board
of equalization.
The board of railroad assessors is
left as now. Railroad. telegraph, tele-
waterworkS companies are assessed
not only upon their franchises and
tangible property, but upon the basis OF
the value of their stocks and bonds.
Banks are assessed as now, but with
a careful examinat4 of their reports
Corporations generally are assessed
upon the full value of their property,
the same as individuals.
Merchants are assessed upon the
average monthly value of their stock
Manufactures are encouraged by as
sessment upon the raw material, rather
than on the manufactured products
The list blanks are elaborate and
complete.
The assessment of real estate is taken
only once in four years.
The Indiana law is made basis, with
improvements suggested by time and
experience.
The general provisions regarding the
collection of tax rolls, redemption and
deeds remain unchanged as the COM
mission felt it unwise to destroy a sys-
ten not especially criticised and al
ready fully protected by the courts.
An inheritance tax of per cent for
the benefit of the state is provided.
The chairman of the commission says
the members have been in session Go
days on an average of seven hours a
day; that they have Travelled on passes
and have given the state the benefit
thereof and will consume only about
three-fourths of the expense money al
lowed them
The commission expresses itself as
well satisfied with it's own labors and
will submit it's results with confidence
to the tax payers and the Legislature.

town this morning with a fund of hu-
NOR aboard that will be sufficient to
carry him through the two perform
ances and leave enough for a nest egg.
Beresford is jolly anywhere and ev-
erywhere. When he reached town he
received notice that there was a regis
tered package at the postoffice for him.
He went after it He didn't get it, He
had to be identified. He explained to
the postOffice authorities that his face
was on every bill board in town and
then the postmasters and postmistress-
es looked at him in amazon emit He
qualified the assertion by substitution
that pictures of his face could be seen
along with the washing soap and chew
ing gum advertisements, but that would
not get him the package, which was
from his wife, Emma Dunn of the
Woodward Stock company Kansas

The box office man got up with alac-

was a possibility and he steered Beres-

the package, about the size of a pill
box, he looked Disguised and said: This

the box office man and he fed.
Beresford got the package and sighed

NO CLUE AS YET.
The Murder of Montgomery at Win
field Still Mystery.

Winfield, Kan, Oct. 12.-There are no
new developments in the Montgomery
murder case. The sheriff of Cowley
county has turned the entire matter
over to the Pinkerton men sent here by
the Santa Fe company to work on the
case. At present the whole affair is APP
parently as much in the dark as it was
last Saturday night when the murder
occurred
The popular idea among the officers
al the present time is that the murderer
of Montgomery is the man who killed
Telegraph Operator Coates here eight
months ago. Less than ten days before
he was murdered, Montgon cry was ask
ed by a reporter in Arkansas City If he
was still at work on the Coates case
He replied that he was and he would
have something to give out in about
two weeks. He added that he had the
business .'cinched this time,'' and that
the man who killed Coates would be ar
rested in a very short time. 1t is now
believed by a great many that Mont
gomery was so close to him that the
murderer of Coates had to kill him to
save himself. The Pinkertons are said
to be in possession of considerable other
information which will show that there
were others besides the Millers who had
made threats against his life. The Mil
lers are now almost clear of suspicion
and the hunt for the murderer has
shifted from the 101 ranch.
Mrs. Montgomery has been appointed
guardian of her two sons, Philip and
Guy

CHURCH ATTENDANCE.
Reformed Dutch Church at the Head

New York, Oct. 1.-THE Federation
of Churches and Christian Organiza-
lions has collected reports on the socio-
logical and religious conditions of half
a million of the population of the West
side and is now continuing the work
in the upper part of the East side. The
federation claims to have turned over

Grafton reports state, between the
Catholics and the Hebrews. A very
small percentage of Catholics are found
unattached to any church, while the
proportion of Hebrews without syna-
gogue connection is declared to be very
large. The unsettled church life and
the wandering habit of the American
church goer is in strong contrast, the
reports declare. to the foreign Catholic
constituency which clings to the neigh

HEAR FROM PAT GROVE
Willing to Surrender If Re-
wards Are Withdrawn.

Omaha, Oct 12.-Chief of Police DON
ahue has received from Patrick Grove.
through a friend of the latter, an offer
to surrender himself and stand trial IN
the courts if the rewards offered for
his capture are withdrawn.
Chief Donahue did not accept the
proposition, but made a counter offer to
waive the reward himself saying no
body else could secure it. The chief
says Grove is tired of being hunted and
is willing to take chances of a trial if
the reward is withdrawn, but expresses
the fear that manufactured testimony
would convict him if the reward is al
lowed to stand. He says Grove is less
than 500 miles from Omaha, and is not
with his relatives.

BIG ROADS BLOCKED.
Scheme to Abolish Free Passes Frus-
trated by Small Lines.

Chicago Oct. 12.-Railway passes will
not be abolished December 81. The plan
to wipe them out of existence was killed
at a meeting here today of the executive
officials of western roads. They will
meet again November s. The scheme to
abolish passes in all probability will be
resurrected about a year hence, as +.
H. Hartman and other railway mag
mates are firmly imbued with the idea
that the officers and employees of the
railroads and members of their families
should pay regular rates when they
travel, the same as all others.
When a vote was taken on the QueS-
ton of abolishing passes nearly all the
big roads voted in the affirmative and
all the smaller roads voted against it.
The majority against abolishing passes
was decisive.
