Professor Fournier of Besancon has long

The question has now been solved. During

TAX LAW SUSTAINED.
Judge Withrow Delivers Important
Decision at Mt. Pleasant.

Mt. Pleasant, Feb. fudge With
row last evening filed his opinion in
the contested tax case in the Saunders
estate which was argued before him
at the September term and was to be
decided on briefs submitted inSyacsa-
ton. Wilnam G. Saunders died here
in December, 1899, leaving an estate
valued at more than 100000 and large
ly in moneys and credits. When the
tax ferrets struck his case, they found
a rich thing; that for all the five years
in which they were searching there
were thousands of dollars which had
not been listed with the assessor for
each year.
In the opinion filed with the district
court clerk, Judge Withrow sustains
LIE tax collecting law as passed in
the spring of 1897, in every particular,
except he holds it not retroactive; in
other words the tax cannot be collect
ed previous to the passage of the law,
which went into effect September 80,
1897. The taxes for 1897 We're not
collectible until the first of 1898, but
the right existed in the officers to list
the taxes for that year and put them
on the books before the tax books
were turned over to the county treas.
urer So Judge Withrow holds the
taxes for this year are collectible in
this maner along with the years fol
lowing.

Not Every Discharged Convict Will

Fort. Dodge, Feb. 7.-There will be

view yesterday, stated that it was not
the object of the home, or board OF
directors, to offer home for all con-
victs released from the Iowa peniten-
tiaries, as some had supposed from
first thought. 1t is the intention of
the board who will have charge of the
home to make very careful exam
nation of each applicants character
his life previous to his Imprisonment,
his department as a prisoner and the
chances of his becoming a good citi-
zen if given an opportunity and lit
tie encouragement. In these matters
they would be guided somewhat by
recommendation of the warden, the
nature of the prisoners crime and his
associates at the time it was commit
ted. In other words. the home is in
tended more for the first offenders"
who have fallen in with bad compan-
ions and led to do a crime which 9th
erwise would not have been commit
ted. All of the tract of land not oc-
cupied by the buildings will be culti-
waited with view of making the home
self-supporting. The ground is all high
and fertile and will make most ideal
country residence. The board hopes
to work in conjunction with the gov
ernor and lend him every assistance
in encouraging prisoners to be useful

TO CURE THE GRIP.
Advice Of a Physician
First and foremost, REST.

flTSL anu foremost, IIESI.
Take care of yourself. Your al.
ready weakened nerves want rest,
and must have it. If the attack is Sc
we're, go to bed and remain there.
More fatalities result from neglect OF
this precaution than from any other
cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive or
gans are in no condition to take care
of large quantities of food.
Drink plenty of pure, cold water. 1t
allays the fever, stimulates the kid
neys to action and opens up the pores
of the skin. Keep the bowels open
with DR.. Miles Nerve and Liver Pills.
Take three doses of DIR. Miles Ner-
vine per day, and if you cannot sleep
take an extra dose at bed time. To
further control the fever, and to over
come the peculiar aches and pains of
grip, use DR.. Miles Pain Pills. They
act quickly and effeetually, and no
bad effects result from their use.
These remedies have been thoroiy
tested more than million times, and
their efficiency is thoroly established.
They never fail to give relief.
DR.. Miles remedies can be found
at any drug store, and they are sold
on positive guarantee that first bot
