Plan to Prevent Compromise of Taxes
IN Western Counties.

A state officer is re espt nsible for the
statement that bin will be introduced
in the Legislature relaFfye to the collection
of taxes the lands in western Kansas
owned by the loan com psnies which have
taken the lands in on foreclosur.s of
mortgages
All over the western part of the state
are great tracts of land which the loan
companies own. They got these land
after loaning money The men who ook
them claims and who We're obliged TO
leave the country when the years of crop
failure followed the boom. The loan
companies have been dodeing the full
payment of taxes on these lands for years
aud it is now proposed to that they
pay equally with The farmers and other
land owners.
The method employed by the loan COM
panies was this: they would allow the
taxes to run for three four years and
would then offer to settle with the ceaHty
commissioners for so cents on the dollar
This was accepted by the commissioners
for the western Kansas counties needed
the money and the taxes OH the land for
that time womld prove neat sum.
The bill which will be introduced will
do away with this method of tax dodg-
ing. 1t will provide that the hands can
be taken by the county and can be leased
Tor grazing purposes which will produce
sufficient income to pay the taxes. When
the loan companies offer their so per cent
of the taxes in settle neut they will be
given a merry laugh.
The property owners all over the west
ern counties have been complaining of
the in Justice done them by this met hod
of tax lodging. They obliged pay
100 cents on the dollar while the loan
companies get off with half.
1t has not been decided who will intro
duce the bill, but ma jority of the west
| ern members favor some action respecting
the matter.-Journal.

We>ought to have rm side to-
ward the crow; he is so much like
one of ourselves, said Henry Ward
Beecher once He is lazy and that
is human; he is cunning and that is
human; he thinks his own color the
best and loves to hear his own voice,
which are eminent traits of humanity
He will never work when he can get
another to work for him, a genuine
human trait; he eats whatever he can
get his claws upon, and is less mis-
chievous with belly full than when
hungry and that is like man. Take
off their wings and put them in
breeches and crows would make fair
average men. Give men wings and
reduce their smartness a little and
many of them would be almost good
enough to be crows.

Dry Ground and scarcity OF Snow in
Colorado.

Tt will be OF interest to people 1iv
ing in the Arkansas valley to know
that the reports of the Colorado sec
tion of the Weather bureau show that
there is a scarcity of snowsall in the
mountains this year and that the
ground is extremely dry.
These conditions make it seem
likely that the Arkansas valley which,
in large measure depends for its
water supply on the melted snow from
the mountains, will suffer next spring
and summer for want of water.
The report says:
Unusual weather conditions have
characterized the season thus far,
Weather has been a feature but gen
eral storms have been few and, the
attending precipitation has been un
usually light, the amount of snow
stored to supply the streams next sea-
son is small; not only less than the
average, but much less than for like
period last year-which was notably
dry. That the precipitation was gen
orally deficient was indicated by the
reports furnished from month to
month by the voluntary observers,
and full reports just received from
the special snowfall observers, repre-
senting all sections of the mountain
region, emphasize the deficiency.
The soil was generally dry near the
surface when cold weather set in,
and lack of snow covering has been
favorable to very deep freezing

points in Colorado where the snow

Prevalence of Smallpox.


It is not only in Kansas and Mis-
souri, but in the east and other parts
of the United States that smallpox is
now uncomm only prevalent. The re
port of the Marine Hospital service
shows it's existence in forty-five of the
fifty-one states and territories with a
total of 1929 cases, Ohio leading
with 1 1872, Tennessee next with 1 ,4O5,
Minnesota next with ,l99 and Texas
next 674. The other states and ter
ritories have fewer cases. The dis
ease spreads quickly. At the begin
ming of 1898 it was confined to four
localities in three states: at the close
of that year, it was in ISL localities in
twenty-four states.
Physicians seem to agree that peo-
pie are beginning to neglect vaccin
ton. Long exemption from serious
sisitations has produced care1essn ess
and the anti-vaccinationists have been
extremely active The English COM
pulsory law for vaccination has been
repealed by these influences.
People have forg often the terrible
pestilence that smallpox used to be.
Even NIacaulay's description was
mild beside the appalling reality
1t was always present filling the
grave yards or eating away the fea-
lures cf it's victims, making the coun-
tenance repulsive and leaving them
blind OF deaf. 1t spared nobody,
poor or rich. Tho yearly smallpox
deaths in England numbered 5000
for each ]. 100000 of population. In
France 10000 died every year of
this malady. In 1860 smallpox kill
ed 10000 persons in the province
of Quito. The disease first ragged in
England in 1241, and in Germany IN
the fifteenth century. 1t was brought
to America soon after Columbus came
to these shores. In 1721 one-half the
people of Boston had variola, ano
one-thirteenth diod.
DR.. Jenner's discovery and the ac
tive introduction of vaccination by
Lady Mary Montagu checked the
terrible ravages of the disease and
mitigated its destructiveness. The
enemies of vaccination say the dimin
ution of the pestilence was the resul
. of improved sanitation. But the
change was brought about at time
when little sanitary reform was being
effected. And all other zymotic dis
eases should have shown the SAM
decline in frequency and virulence
if it were due to sanitation. wherea
they are worse now than formerly
By the close of the eighteenth cen
tury vaccination had become general
Within fifty years the deaths for eacl
million of the population every yea
had dropped from an average o
5000 to an average of about $50.

art will soon lose interest and more than

The negligent and slovenly teaching Of

thusiasm. A desire to excel in sword
play such as exists to SO great an ex-

this country.
1t is only by exhibitions, tournaments,
and challenges such as take place in lIu-
rope, where the professors can test their
abality, talent, and knowledge of the art
of fencing that interest can be aroused.
The public assembled to witness these

that the bottom seems to have dropped

which developed such strength short

Late returns from the Ohio city, how
ever, seem to indicate that the burly
champion and Madden's big Swiss will

opponents of the mill have shot their
