IS all right, if you are too fat;
and all wrong, if too thin already.
Fat, enough for your habit, is
healthy; a little more, or less, is
no great harm. Too fat, consult
a doctor; too thin, persistently

There are many causes of get

under these two heads: over
work and under-digestion.
Stop over-work, if you can;
but, whether you can or not,
take SCOTS Emulsion ofCod

with your work. You can't live
on it--true--but, by it, you
can. There's a limit, however;

SOME of our Jealous friends OF Hutch
inson are hoping for the establishment
of a granite mandatory in this city in
the near future, 1t alleged that some
one has discovered process for male
ing fine building stone which is the
superior Of granite or anything else
from sand and lime, We have plenty
of sand and why should we not make
our own grant? Hutchinson must be a
city Of twenty-five or thirty thousand
inhabitants within a few years, now
since we have started on a boom, and
we need building stone, This new pro-
cess is recommended by consuls in Their
reports to the State department and il
must be so OF course we have been
making a sort Of building stone out oI
sand mainly for many, many years, but
it will have TO go. Let US have the new
granite mandatory,

Railroad Assessments.

The county clerks Office is in receipt
Of the report of the State board of rail
road assessors. The report assesses the
c. K. & W., or Kinsley branch Of the
Santa Fe at sISo,45o for 3I.57 miles,
The Santa Fe main line at S3Io,97I for
26.o2 miles. The H. & S. branch Of the
Santa Fe, at $1,000, for 23o6 miles.
The Missouri Pacific, Hutchinson divis-
ion is given a valuation of SIS2,754 for
1906 miles. The Missouri Pacific, Lar
ned extension, is given valuation OF
o,oSo on 1917 miles. The Rock Is
land is assessed at S255,262 on 4572
miles. This shows reduction OF $751;
SOL on the valuation of the Kinsley
branch, S6,ooI increase on the Santa Fc
main line, $3.50 reduction on the H. &
S. branch. The Frisco is now assessed
on IS miles S75,7oo, which is reduction
of s4,S55. The Missouri Pacific, Hutch
inson division, is increased Sl6,5SI. This
is probably on account of the many inn
provements in depot, freight house, etc.
On the whole, there does not seem to be
much change in the assessment Of the
railroads. The fact that the stock of
many Of these companies has been sail
ing skyward on the eastern markets
doesn't make any difference with the
railroad assessors. Why of course not?
Who was ever fool enough to think the
stock Of corporation has any connec-
ton with the value Of its property. And
it never will so long as water is so plen-
tiful.

The extraordinary announcement
comes from Chicago that eight leading
publishers Of popular music, repre-
senting a capital stock Of over $1,000
900, have combined to form an associa-
lion, the object Of which is to prevent
The publication Of inferior music. In
lsmuch as the publishers of popular
music owe their millions chiefly to the
printing of "inferior' music, the new
association seems nothing less than
suicidal. Perhaps these leading pub
fishers, having become wealthy by pan
lering to the crudest taste, have de-
cded upon this method Of showing
their repentance and going out OF
business

The Times correspondent tell this
story from Topeka; F, L. Vandegrift
lately stated to some of his friends
that he wanted to buy dog for his boy.
A wag inserted an advertisement in a
Topeka paper stating that Mr., Vande-
grift would meet owners Of dogs at the
governors office at IL a, m. of certain
day. Dogs were to be brought along
for inspection. At the appointed time
100 men, women and children were in
the State House corridors, each
carrying or leading from one to four
dogs. 1t beat any circus that every struck
town. Vandegrilt, refusing to be made
the victim Of joke, gravcly inspected
the animals offered and bought bird
dog of an old woman and pug from a
bootblack. Several other sales were
made. There were half dozen fights
between dogs and owners, and the dogs
mixed up frequently. Business in the
State house was suspended for an hour
And yet it is impossible to convince
some people that it pays to advertise.

THE movement for making Hutchin-
son a cleaner and better city seems to
be taking an active form and really
there is some organizing being done. AS
things go, Hutchinson has not been a
dirty city, Compared with most other
places it has been clean city. Many
are the compliments passed on the
beauty of the city by our visitors. They
have been going away well pleased with
its broad streets and fine appearance,
But that is not saying that there is moth
ing more to do. There is yet very much
to do, and when properly organized it
will not be dificnlt to find. A little
systematic work long this line will easily
make Hutchinson the prettiest and neat
est little city in the State. Let's have

1t is said that one of the big trees
of California after plague of tourists
has been to inspect it looks as il a
rapid-fre gun charged with visiting
cards had been fired at it. Visitors
first tried to carve their names and
initials upon the bark; but, finding all
the available space already occupied
by initials, as well as the work Of cut
ting down the bark tedious, they have
now resorted to simply mailing their
visiting cards to the tree, just why no
man knoweth, for the rain soon oblit-
crates the card, and, moreover, II is
not matter Of the slightest interest
to one visitor to learn that "John
Jones and lady" had preceded him at
he spot.

THERE was a large meeting in Salina
last week Of farmers who propose to
protest in some tangible sort of way
against the exactions Of the grain trust
in this State, A permanent organiza-
ton was effected and arrangements for
organizing on cooperative principle
for the construction and operation Of ele-
vators and shipping Of their own grain
were undertaken. The stock company
is divided into two hundred shares Of
Sloo 90 each making capital stock Of
$4,000 most of which has been sub
scribed. Z. w. Peckham of Haven was
chosen as one of the directors and a
good selection was made, as we in Reno
county all know him to be an honest
and capable man, 1t is possible that
the grain dealers will find they have
been levying tribut for little more than
the traffic will bear In some respects
the corporations are assisting in this
way in furthering the cooperative
movement. In various places that we
have heard from the battle is growing
warm between the grain trust and the
independent men. Let it grow. But
in the meantime why do the indepen-
dent men receive no assistance from
the State authorities2

a dry climate and stayed in it. Robert

prospected, stakcd out claims and sold

He developed an awesomc appetite for

passed by the populist legislature III
1897 stating that the provisions OF this
act have been upheld by the State sup
rene court and the federal courts 10 an
extent which a few years ago was
thought impossible.
AS stated the act provides for the FL
ing Of complete reports by all such cor
porations with the city clerks giving the
costs and present value Of all their prop
erty item by item, and the cost of labor
and all the items Of maintaining and do
Ing the business, After this report is
made and filed the contracts for water
light and power are to be made on the
basis for the value of the plant and cost
Of maintenance leaving a balance for
profit OF not to exceed six per cent on
the money invested, except by petition
Of three flths Of the tax payers the
per cent Of profit may be increased.
The statement Of the committee then re-
cites that in their efforts to make new
contract for the lights last year 1t was
developed that they could be furnished
on moonlight basis at profit for s35.
per year (The city has been paying a
hundred for many Of them,) 1t states
that after many conferences during
which the stock holders sent a com
mittee from Philadelphia compromise
was agreed upon by which the city was
to pay about $50, for the lights that
burn all night and SIS for the remain
der. This was upon the stipulation
that the water mains out on Fourth
Avenue were TO be taken up and re.
placed in the city where they could be
used the city and the company dividing
the expense, This compromise the man
ager Of the company was to submit to
the stock and bond holders. The coun'
Gil adopted a resolution to this effect
but omitted to put in the provision con-
cerning the water mains, thinking il
not to be in the nature of contract
The manager Of the company instead OF
submitting the resolution to the bond
holders, filed an acceptance and pro.
ceeded to charge for the water on
Fourth Avenue as before. The com
pany has filed no reports as required by
law and with the advice Of the mayor
the committee recommends that the
city attorney proceed at once to enforce
provisions of the law This evidently
means that he proceed to have the COM
pany fined for not complying. 1t also
recommends that all contracts with the
company be repudiated and no renewal
be made till the company complies with
the law by filing its reports.
A special meeting of the council was
called to consider the controversy We'd
nesday night.
The council then went into executive
session to consider appointments. Be-
fore doing so the mayor appointed Mr..
Bourne city clerk. The appointments
were made the same as was reported in
these colums to be the agreement some
time since except in the matter Of one
policeman. Through some disagree
ment Prentice was not appointed and
r. L, Slayton was appointed in his
stead, S, X. Hawley was appointed to
street commissioner, poor commissioner
and act as day policeman,
The county has been paying SIS per
month for poor commissioner, Under
this arrangement the city will simply
pay that amount on the salary of one
policeman who is also to be street com
missioner,
The new officers were all sworn in.

HUTCHINSON COUNTY, KANSAS, THURSDAY MAY 49,

sociologlsts and business men have
been deciolmlng for 30 years against
DrlftIny couD. the tendency OF
-. young Americans
'"""' to desert the coun-
try and flock to the cities. All the
arguments advanced, all the vivid pic
turing of the dark side Of city life,
all the records Of priyation, demor-
alization and disaster In the cities
have had little or no effect, Coun-
try'bred boys and girls, thrown on
their own resources, driftcd by COM
mon impulse to the cities, There was
reason for this drifting cityward that
was bred in the bone, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, The immigration
movement that began IN the COS, and
that carried thousands Of people from
the eastern and middle states to the
Isolated farms Of the far west, ag-
grNyNted conditions that had pre-
vailed in all farming districts, Houses
were often mere excuses for homes,
Families camped down in localities
where they hoped in due time to be-
come possessors of comfortable
homes. In their eagerness to possess
and many immigrants failed to meas
ure properly or prepare for prevailing
conditions, There were disappoint-
ment, loneliness, and longing for
the cunVencnces, comforts and priv
ileges of modern life. Denial Of these
led to a migration toward the cities
and the circumstances of life in many
rural communities justified 1t, Grad
ually there has come change, Wher-
ever mortgages have been lifted coun-
try homes have taken on an air Of
comfort, The young people who 30
years ago looked in vain for the ad-
vantages Of city life in country
ncighborhoodS now find them at their
doors, The mail that came once n
week in the old times comes now
every day. The extension of the ru-
raj delivery system carries letters and
newspapers to the homes Of farmers
just as they are carried to homes in
the cities, The building OF trolley
lines brings villages and farms closer
together in the matter of time, The
better organization Of country
schools and Of teachers institutes
puts the educational privileges on a
par with those in the city, Fashion
ITSELF has changed. The wcll-tO.do
people Of the cities are looking coun-
tryward The wealthy are investing
money in country establishments,
People tired OF the incessant activity
and the stress and noise Of city life
are longing now for the quiet and
air OF the country. This reaction
gives new value TO many farms, 1t
sets new standards for country boys
and girls, and the fact that city peo-
pie admit a liking for the country
may do for the young people of the
country more than n" the arguments
that have been thrown at them for
the last quarter Of century.
