Here is the LATEST story of the man
who was too stingy to take his home
paper: ga man who was too econom-
ical to take this paper sent his little
boy to borrow a copy taken by his
ncighbor. In haste the boy ran over
a $l.0O stand of bees and in 10 min
utes he locked like a warty summer
squash. His cries reached his father
who ran to his assistance and failing
to notice barbed wire fence. ran into
it, breaking it down, cutting a hand
full Of flesh from his anatomy and
running a $4.OO pair of pants. The
old cow took advantage of the gap in
the fence and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing the rack
ct the wife ran and upset four gal
Ion churn full of cream into basket
of kittens drowning the whole flock.
In the hurry she dropped a $7.OO set
Of false teeth. The baby, left alone,
crawled through the cream and into
the parlor and spoiled brand new
$50 carpet. During the excitement
the Oldest daughter ran away with the
hired man, the dog broke up eleven
setting hens and the calves got out
and chewed the tails off four fine
shirts"

WAGON ROAD FUND TAX LEVY
state Auditor Completes Computation OF
Amount EACH County Must Raise.


state Auditor Completes Computation OF
Amount Each County Must Raise.
The state auditor has completed the
figures on the special wagon road tax
levies, says the Boise Statesman.
These levies are in addition to the reg
ular levy Of s245,OOO made for the
maintenance of the state government.
In 1889 the legislature passed bill
providing for levy upon all property
in the state for wagon road purposes.
This levy was fixed at 2 cents on each
800 valuation in the state. Four
years later, ia 1885, an additional levy
OF 3 cents on each 800 was made by
the legislature for the same general
purposes.
These levies combined amount to
over S25, 900 and Will bring the total
revenues OF the state, including the
regular levy, up to $270, 7l5.3s. The
amounts To be derived from each OF
the counties in the state by these ad-
ditional levies are shown in the fol-
lowing table:

their Shallowness by indulgng in such
language as ''indomnitable dema-

Sumpter, ILL.,, June 10.-Mrs. j. b.
Flanagan, of this place, had suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was SO very bad hat for the last
three years, she has not been able TO
wear her shoes. She had doctored all
the time, but was gradually getting
worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for
some medicine at Mr.. j. j. Dale's drug
store in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded
him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and he bought six boxes. His
wife used five out of the six, before
she was entirely cured. She is now as
sound and well as ever she was, COM
pletely restored to health, and free
from any symptom whatever of
Dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful d~eliverance, does not
half express her feelings, and she
and Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their
praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Of
Mr.. Dale for recommending this won
derful remedy TO them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a eve
case of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked-of remedy ever known in White
County.

HOPES FOR SUCCESS
REPUBLICAN MACHINE ASsIDUOUS-
LY WORKING FOR ABOLITION
OF POLICE COMMISSION
PREPARING AN AMENDMENT
Prominent Attorney Instructed to
Prepare Change in Charter,
Which Will Disguise Its
True Nature.

If the activity of certain Republican
machine politicians counts for anything.
there is more than idle runaor in the re-
port that steps are being taken to prevail
on the charter commission to prepare an
amendment, abolishing the present police
board and substituting instead provls-
ion modelled after that prevailing during
the old regime.
This task has been placed in the lands
of a prominent Republican attorney and
that gentleman is now engaged in the
preparation of a sugar coated subterfuge
that the bosses hope to induce the voters
to swallow at the next spring election.
While the commission is absolutely SUI
preme in its jurisdiction as to accepting
or disappearing of suggestions offered by
individuals, yet when a demand is made
backed up by petition signed by per
cent of the voting population, it has no
alternative but to submit and place the
proposed amendment on the ballot for the
next general city election
Signers to a petition are easy to secure,
but when it is known that such amend
ments must have the approval of at least
four-fifths of the population voting, the
success of such move is prob1ematical.
The commission has called meeting
for the 18th inst and by that time the
petition now being prepared will have
public property. Just now those actively
working on it are keeping the nature OF
the petition they will spring under cover.

The man behind the gun is so common
today that helsis hardly heroic figure.
Tomorrow the open season on deer be-
gins, and the hunters are all, ready to
take advantage of it as soon as daylight
breaks in the woods. The Nimrnds have
long since picked out their good hunting,
sspets6 and for the past few days many
tef them have been hieing themselves
snorthward atoward the big woods, where
the elusive deer abound. While outside
cities report an unusually large number
of licenses issued, the number issued in
ST. Paul has been below the average, and
less than 100 have been given out by the
auditor thus, far.
The open season for deer lasts twenty
days, closing Nov. 80 The season for
moose and caribou will not be open for
five days longer, Nov. Is being the date.
The limit on deer is three per person,
and on moose and caribou one male of
each kind to person. Five days are al
lowed after the close of the season In
which to bring ones game out of the
woods Heavy penalties attach to the
violation of these provisions. While the
law prohibits killing for the mere love
of killing, it allows enough for any one
man in season, and as a matter Of fact
many an ambitious hunter who goes out
lamenting the legal limitations put upon
his prowess will come back without hay-
ing come anywhere near violating the
law.
The hunter who brings back the three
to which he is legally entitled is the ex-
ception The bollntiful snow of the past
few days in the northern part of the
state assures excellent sport, and has
caused the heart of the prospective
hunter to leap for joy. Deer hunting
without snow is poor pastime. The fee
for a hunters license is % cents to resi-
dent of the state and .$25 for a non-resi-
dent
The last few days have seen numerous
hunting parties ofrom the little towns
down the river depart northward. The
hunters have nearly all gone. up in adj
vance, in order to locate their camps and
prepare snug quartersyfor their outing.
The game wardens are also getting
ready for busy season, and woe be to
the unfortunate who runs anruck the.
watchful servant of the state when per-.
petrating a violation of the law. Ig-
norance of tire law excuses no one with
a game warden. IN So

From 1899 up to the present date, the
ST. Paul health department. has cared for
1856 smallpox patients. aud for their relief
and suppression Of the disease has ex-
pended S23,3OO.39. So far the city has
footed the bill, but. next week, il the
statement is completed in time, the
amount will be certified to the commits
sioners and that body asked to see that
the city is reimbursed.
This step will be taken under a law
passed by the last legislature which pro-
Vldes that all counties shall reimburse
towns ard cities in their midst for any
expense incurred in taking care of an
epidemic.
By it's provision the claim is first pre-
scented to the county board who may
either approve or reject In the case of
the later, the rejected claim is taken to
the clerk OF the court, who places it be-
fore the district court. If there approved,
the bill is certified to the county auditor
who proceeds to incorporate it in the next
tax levy. The city, however, must first
pay all bills incurred, the law providing
for reimbursement after this is done
There is little doubt but what the
county board will refuse to recognize the
claim, holding that it is city debt. In
this event. the procedure laid down, appeal
to the district judges, will be carried out.
st: sPauls smallpox epidemic practical
ly dates back only to 1899, though under
the law cities and towns can ask for re
endorsement for expenses incurred prior
to that date. In 1899 st. Paul cared for
q cases. of. smallpox; in $780, 66 cases, and
so far during the present year 10S cases.
The amounts and statement have been
turned over to the legal department. by
