SOMETHING LIKEFORTY
MEMBERS TO START.
WITH.

A move is on foot to organize a
Business Mems Union. or Com
mercial Club, as it may be term
ed. The object of the club will
be to advance the interests ofthe
city and discuss matters of inn
portance in regard to public af-
fairs, city and county develop
ment. The list of membership
is being swelled every day and it
now has membership between
thirty-five and forty. Three Of
the east rooms in the Wheeler
hotel have been rented, which
Mr.. Wheeler will fit up in first
class shape, with billiard and
pool tables, a reading room, where
all the latest magazines and daily
papers can be found, there will
also be a piano in this room,
which will add much to the social
feature of the club. The club
will be under the direction of the
leading business men of the city
which will be ample proof that
nothing of a degrading nature,
such as gambling, drinking or
any such vices be allowed on the
premises. 1t is a good move and
will, we think, be a good thing
for the city in general. All pub
lie matters, such as improve
ments and other matters of i'm

time to time, may be brought be.

they desired to be married They went

ATTACKS TAX SALE LAW.
Suit Brought to Test New Provisions
Concerning Purchase.

The constitutionality of the tax law
of 1891 has been attacked in the SUI
preme court The law provides that
when a county board so orders, all land
sold for taxes must be bid in by the
county and, after three years, turned
back to the original owner on a COM
promise. This law was passed in order
to help out land owners after the dis
aster caused by the boom
The Reno county board ran things I'M
der that law and all property offered for
tax sale was bid IN by the county. In
order to test the law Col. Bigger, of
Hutchinson, made a bid for some prop
erty and when 1t was refused he man
dalnused the county treasurer to COM
pei him to sell Bigger the land under
his bid. This is the case which is being
argued in the supreme court.

Thanking the American People For
Relief of India

Washington, Jan. 4.-The consul at
Bombay has forwarded to the state de-
partment the following letter from Lord
Curzon, viceroy of India, IN which he
expresses his appreciation of the con-
tributions made by the American people
for the relief of the famine sufferers in
India:
''vieeroy's Camp Nov. %, 1900
Dear Sir-The viceroy has the great
est pleasure in adding his testimony to
that which he understands you are
sending to the American people as to
the immense value of the contributions
that have been made by the American
public to the relief of the recent Indian
famine. Whether these contributions
have taken the form Of money or cloth
ing, or grain, they have sprung from the
two noblest of human sentiments, viz,
the feeling for suffering manhood and
the recognition of a common aid be-
tween the two great branches OF the
English speaking race, and they have
exercised a. positive and material in
huence in the mitigation of the greatest
calamity with which India has been
afflicted for many years.
Il am, dear sir, yours faithfully,

While Mr.. Choate has no instructions

mentions that Notwithstanding a con-
slant rain OF rifle fire during the FIVE

adds that g. deep debt Of gratitude is
owed to him by all the besieged.
Mr. Herbert Squiers acted in the ca
pacity Of Sir Claude's chief of staff after

earlier services in the United States

and under Sir Claude's orders he drew
the plan for the entry Of the troops
which was conveyed to General Gasslee
by a messenger let down from the wall.
