AND THE RESULT TO BE PUB
LSHED IN THIS PAPER.

This important challenge IS not only to
the citizens OF Topeka, but TO the entire
civilized world The public will be inter
ested in the outcome Of this investigation
TO prove the great merits Of their already
famous discovery. The offer made by the
A. r. Bremen Company In their callenege
above alluded to is a plainly worded one.
They assert that their discovery. Coke
Dandrun Cure. Will positively cure the
most stubborn and common of all trOu-
blRs. dandrun and falling hair. which 30
per cent of the people are annoyed with.
1t IS thought that the best possible way
to publicly determine the merit OF Coke

interested In this matter a sample bottle,
and TO have It done in such an open man
ner that none can question the honesty OF
the test.

ASSESSMENT BILL DEFEATED.
Property VIII Not Be Assessed at Its
Full Cash Value.

The senate defeated the bill prepared
by the joint legislative committee on
taxation for the assessment of property
at its full cash value and providing for
a penalty for an assessor who fails to
do it.
The senate decided that inasmuch as
the legislature had provided for a COM
mission to revise the tax laws and re-
port two years hence IN time for action
on the report by the next legislature,
that it would not be wise to tinker with
the present laws this session. The bill
was killed by a vote Ct 20 to II.

No Prospect Of Relief By Rai1-cooI
Nights Mako Life Endur.bls-

There appears to be no limit to the
supply OF heat that has made the msr-
curry jump above the 100 mark nearly
every day for three weeks past. The
only chance for relief seems to be in
discovering the base Of supply and
turning loose the full force that We
may be thoroughly cooked and have Il
over with. This way Of simmering over
a slow fire is certainly a trying ordeal
The Thermometer had no trouble at
all in reaching loo several times this
week, while several suffering victims
declare they saw the fluid jump up to
ITO, but perhaps their bullying eyes
were at fault. Scarcely q cloud crosses
the sky during the day to hide old Soils
scOrching rays, and there are several
unconfirmed reports of fields Of grain
being burned up by the heat. There
seems to be no prospect Of rain soon
to reduce the temperature, and corn
and other grain is suffering badly
The nights continue cool, however, and
serve to make life endurable.

Another Bad Hail Storm.

A very destructive hail storm passed
over the southwest portion Of the
county last Saturday evening. Tue
crops destroyed were mostly small
grain, and the individual losses are
reported as follows: Swan Strand, 325
acres; Tom Mccoy, 200 acres; Peter
Peterson, 80 acres; NJ. Peterson, $50
acres; A. J. Mckenzie, 100 acres; G.
Hocket, II. York and Nels Anderson 80
acres each, and August johnson 125
acres The last named was the only
one insured, and the losses were total
so far as wheat is concerned. Corn, it
Is thought, will recover. The strip was
from three to four miles wide and the
hail stones in some cases were as large
as hens eggs. A heavy rain accom-
panied the storm.

story OF a Chinch Bug.

A story is being told of a Kansas
farmer who caught a ehinch bug. He
fed him poison, cracked him in the
doors and froze him in ice. The bug
always came up smiling a fendish
smile and looking at the man with q
sardonic eye. Finally he carried the
bug to foundry and dropped it into
a ladel of molten metal. Then he went
of chuckling. Fifteen years afterward
his wife broke skillet she had been
using for some time and that ehinch
bug hoped out and asked the nearest
road to a corpfield.

Cole and Jim Younger, a quarter of a

of the north, and the two bands
often made raids together, and it is
said that Jesse and Frank James were
the two that escaped at the time of the
Mortified robbery. Two Of the bank
officials and a citizen we're shot down
and two of the eight robbers killed.
They secured but little money and the
remaining six escaped. Two Of those
were never caught, but the other four
were surrounded two weeks later and
one was killed IN the fight. The three
