Believes In a Per Capita Tax.

Topeka, May ll.-Henry Allen, chair
man of the state board of charities,
has declared himself in favor of Sena-
tor +. d. Smiths scheme of raising a
state tax on the per capita plan. Mr..
Allen has made number of compari-
sons between the amount of tax which
the new system would raise and the
amount which is raised under the pres
ent system. Greeley county pays tax
amounting to IS for each resident,
while Cherokee's tax amounts to but
80 cents for each person. He believes
that the new system would do much &c
equalize the burden of taxation.

Wall Street Again Buoyant.

New York, May 13.-Wall street
emerged from it's gloom with growing
confidence manifested something like
buoyant citation. Prices of stocks went
up with a rush at the last, closing at
the TOP, and with the net losses pretty
largely recovered. There were some
clouds remaining on the situation and
some natural trepidation lest the vio-
lent collapse should have left some cas-
ualties which would not be closed until
the clearing house sheets of the stock
exchange had been made up. Early
in the day the official announcement
was made that the sheets of all the
members of the exchange had been
cleared perfectly and that all their
checks had been honored.

intense excitement over an assault
committed upon Miss Ethel Bonnie,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs G. w. Bon
ME, residents of that town.
The assault was committed by an
unknown white man, who accomplish
ed his purpose after striking the girl
ON the head with some blunt instru-
mont, rendering her unconscious.
Miss Bonnie visited the river bluffs
to gather mushrooms and was seized
from behind, but she managed to break
away and run, but was overtaken and
felled to the ground.
After accomplishing his purpose and
believing the girl to be dead, the
assailant dragged her body to well
near by and threw her in. The well
contained twelve feet of water and
Miss Bonnie sank to the bottom but
rose again. The cold shock had the
effect of reviving her to such an extent
that she realized her peril and made
an effort to climb out. After repeated
failures she reached the top, but was
still in da2ed condition and remained
sitting on the edge of the well. If the
man is caught he will probably be

wagon and found the campus jammed
with people. The police refused to
allow him to locate at any any particu-
lar point. and he drove from one street
to another, the crowd following. The
mob frequently blocked traffic and the
police ATTEMPTED to dispense them. 1t
was but Il moment before stones began
to fly through tine air and general
mixup followed, in which the foot po-
lice used their clubs and the mounted
men charged. The officers fired their
guns in the air and the mob returned
the fusilade with bricks and cobble-
stones. At one time when the mob
had gathered at the central police
station, bricks were thrown through
the windows.
At one stage of the riot section of
hose was secured by order of the police
director and the stream turned on the
crowd. but the hose was cut and the
man who welded the nozzle was driven
into Il saloon and pounded on the head
with an iron cuspidor.

When she commenced with our family

about 100, but kept going down all the

stefan there for three months. She
kept going down under his treatment.

physician in the county. She went
down from 100 pounds to 60, and we
