municipalities Liability.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II.-Representa-
tives of municipalities throughout the
country appeared before the judiciary
committee of the house today relative to
the bill proposing to give the federal
courts means Of enforcing their Judgment
against municipalities. An important
departure from existing law is involved
in the proposition, and one affecting all
cities or towns which borrow money On
bonds or otherwise.
At present there is no means OF enforc-
ing judgments from the federal courts on
these obligations. and many peculiar
conditions have arisen in Missouri, Wis
consin and Texas. through efforts to en-
force them. The United States supreme
court has ruled that inandamus against
the local tax officers to compel them to
put the obligation on the tax roll is the
only remedy. But in several cases the
local officers have avoided the madamus
by resigning. Several exciting incidents
have occurred in some of the cases, the
local officers taking to the woods to
avoid service.
The Judgment creditors, representing
directly and in directly many millions OF
dollars of claims against municipalities,
have been heard by the judiciary COM
mittee, and it is now desired to hear
from the municipal debtor class on Jan.
II. The plan under consideration is to
authorize the United States district court
at the place where municipality Is IN
a.fault and the local officers fail to act
to anpoint a special tax officer to assess
the tax

one above the other And it was sus-
pected that the satellite was double But
the explanation which has met with the
most favor among astronomers is that
the equatorial region of the satellite is
brighter than the rest, and that 1t was
the relatively dark polar regions, thus
separated, which produced the effect OF
its being double.
The other observations were made more
recently, In India, by a well known ANA
teur astronomer, Capt Wordsworth. On
one occasion he saw the first satellite ab-
solutely circular while it had the black
sky for a background, but greatly elon-
gated after it had begun to cross the
disc of the planet. Subsequently lie

der improved conditions for seeing. He
then discovered that the equatorial re-
gion was really brighter than the rest
of the satellite. So long as it was pass
ing in front of a comparatively dark
patch on the planet, both the equatorial
and polar regions of the moon would be

evident that the matter needs further in
vestigation.
Another phenomenon which has been
looked for this year is an outbreak OF
small spots in about latitude % north.
Sucn markings were seen to develop in
1859, 1880 and 1890. And the suspicion has
been excited that they are periodical,
like sunspots. AS yet no recurrence has
been reported, but it is not unlikely that
! it has been observed. The formation of
such spots, even If their cause were not
fHily understood, would at least indi-
cate that Jupiter Is probably in a semi
fluid state.
The great red spot mas been exceeding
ly faint of late years, and yet it promises
TO remain one of the chief landmarks on
the planet for g. long time. The mystery
of its nature is yet unsolyed. but some
OF the observations which have been
made Suggest the possibility that it lies
at higher level than the region imme-

Her greatest brilliancy will be attained a
month later. Venus will overtake Jupi-
ter on Nov. IS, and keep company with
Saturn the night following, but she will
be much more conspicuous than either
of them at that time. Between the pres
ent position of Venus and that Of Jupi-
ter one can detect Mars and Uranus with
a glass, but they are both too faint to
possess any popular interest just now.
Mercury and Neptune are on the other
side of the sun.
Owing to his greater size and nearness
to the earth, Jupiter better rewards scru-
tiny than does Saturn. His surface is
broken up into a larger number of irreg-
ular bright and dark bands, and more
light and dark spots are discernible thera.
From the fact that a complete revolution
is effected at the equator in a little less
time than in higher ATTITUDES, it is sus-
pected that the mass of the planet is in a
molten condition. However, it may be

d!ately adjacent One theory regarding
this strange marking is that it is
continent in process Of formation on the
scarcely yet crusted planet.
A question that has been vigorously
discussed within the last eight or ten
years is whether the satellites of Jupiter
are round or elliptical. To one or two
of them William H. Pickering assigned
the latter form in 1888. Observation with
the Lick telescope failed to confirm that
notion, although Mr.. Douglass, at the
Flagstaff observatory, in Arizona, obtain
ed some confederation IN 1897. Pickering
and Douglass also declare that they per-
ceived minute linear markings on the
first satellite.
Two sets of observations have been
made Independently of these, which may
possibly clear up the question of shape.
In 1890 Professors Burnham and Barnard.
at the Lick observatory, watched the
first satellite of Jupiter, as it was making
a transit across the planets disk. AT
that time it looked like two dark spots.

cular.
But after II reached a brighter area the
polar regions would fade in distinctness.
and only the equatorial region would be
conspicuous; hence Capt. Wordsworth
could then perceive only an elllpse. whose
longer axis extended in the direction OF
movement. These observations impair the
value of chickering's and Douglass's tes-
timony to such an extent that the clip
ITCHY of the Jovian satellites must be
doubted.
Recent studies Of Saturn have revealed
little new, but suspicion has been excited
that the outer and inner rings OF that
planet are not of the same thickness. or
else do not lie in the same place exactly.
The announcement that ninth moon had
been found revolving around Saturn has
received no confirmation, although fully
two years have elapsed since the report
was first circulated.-New York Tribune

astronomer sees. The upper currents
in the terrestrial atmosphere, which flow
in generally eastward direction, do not
move with the same velocity in all lati-
tudes. So that it Is not safe to draw
any conclusion from the observed in
equalities in Jupiter's rotation
One of the newest features reported
by observers Of the giant planet is the
existence of faint gray ''wisps," or lines,
crossing one of the bright equatorial
belts. These lines are straight and mar
row, and run at various angles. In some
respects they look like the so-called

Acute diseases like scarlet fever some-
times cause deafness. But by far the
fost common cause of loss of hearing
is catarrh of the head and throat.
A prominent specialist on ear troubles
gives as his opinion that nine out of
ten cases of deafness is traced to throat
trouble; this is probably overstated,
but it is certainly true that more than
half of all cases of poor hearing were
caused by catarrh.
The catarrhal secretion in the nose
and throat finds its way into the
Eustachian tube and by clogging it up
very soon affects the hearing, and the
hardening of the secretion makes the
loss of hearing permanent, unless the
catarrh which caused the trouble is
cured
Those who are hard Of hearing
may think this is a little far fetched,
but any one at all observant must
have noticed how a hard cold in the
head will affect the hearing and that
catarrh if long neglected will certainly
impair the sense of hearing and Hlti-
mately cause deafness.
If the nose and throat are kept clear
and free from the unhealthy Secretions
Of catarrh. the hearing will at once
greatly improve and anyone suffering
from deafness and catarrh can satisfy
themselves on this point by using
fifty cent box of Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets, a new catarrh cure, which in
the past year has won the approval of
thousands of catarrh sufferers, as we'll
as physicians, because it is in conven-
lent form to use, contains no cocaine
or opiate and is as safe and pleasant
for children as for their elders.
StuarTt's Catarrh Tablets is a whole
some combination of Blood root, Guaia-
col, Eucalyptol and similar antiseptics
and they cure catarrh and catarrhal
deafness by action upon the blood and
mucous membrane of the nose and
throat.
AS one physician expresses it: "You
10 not have to draw upon the imagi-
nation to discover whether you are
getting benefit from Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets; improvement and relief are
apparent from the first tablet taken"
All druggists sell and recommend
them. They cost but fifty cents for full
size package and any catarrh sufferer
who has wasted time and money on
sprays, salves and powders, will appre-
oiate to the full the merit of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets.

EASY LESSON IN GOLF.
Expert Travis Explains the VOcab-

uIary of the Game.

Walter ]. Travis, the champion golfer
of this country, who has probably won
more prizes both in medal and match
play than any other man, says that
golf is a difficult game for one to at

proficiency can only be obtained by
persistent and painstaking practice.
But as half the battle is in starting
right, a few remarks to the beginners,
treated in simple elementary way,
may prove useful to enable them to

be we'll at the outset to briefly touch
on some of the principal ones.
Addressing the ball. Putting ones
self in position to strike he ball.
Approach When the player is suff1-
GENTLY near the hole to be able to
drive the ball to the putting green, his
stroke is called the approach shot.

colonel. A phantom who is credited
with a certain score, for each hole,
against which score the player is COM
peting.

The Game From the start.
Having already made tee land be
careful not to have this too high), and
placed the ball on same, the beginner
is now ready for the drive. Swing
the club a few times in order to get
the hang of it easily, and after resting
1t on the ground close behind the ball.
swing 1T back to the arms limit be-
fore starting on the upward Journey,
Keeping the eye on the ball; continue
until it assumes a horizontal position
between the neck and right shoulder,
and then bring it down again on the
same line, going through the ball with
undiminished speed until it finishes,
Don't fall back af er hitting the ball.
After the drive from tee, and when
distance is to be secured, prov ided the
ball is not lying any too well, the bras
sic comes into play. If the tee is good,
continue with the driver. Take the
club up a little more vertically and
stand trifle more over the ball, aim
ing slightly back of 1t, but using care
not to hit the ground before the ball
is driven.
Many players use a cleek in place cs
the brassie, but this club is of use
chiefly when the distance is less than
a full brassie shot. The mashie is re-
quired when the player is about 100
yards from the hole and whenever he
wishes to escape any bunkers on rough
ground, though many favor this for
any kind of an approach shot. See
that the right foot is nearer the ball
and more advanced than in the drive.

fingers than in the palms.

SPECIAL ACT PASSED.
Providing the Machinery For Sale of Property
For Unpaid Taxes

Many inquiries have been received by
the State Treasurer in regard to the
regulations for the sale of property for
taxes. The Machinery Act as passed by
the last Legislature contains no mention
of how this matter is to be attended to,
hence the inquiries from the sheriffs as
to how to proceed when taxes are un-
paid.
At first it was thought that the mat
ter had been overlooked and that the
sale of property for unpaid taxes would
have to be conducted under the regula-
tions of the Machinery Act, of 1899. This
is not so, however, as an investigation
of the acts of the Legislature of 1901
proves.
Among the very last of the acts passed
was one providing for the sale of prop
erty for taxes. This act, a lengthy one,
covering forty-nine pages Of manuscript,
was ratified on March 18th and in the
Secretary of States offcel is numbered
1870. This special act will be printed at
once and. copies sent out to the sheriffs
of each county.
