To Test the Validity of the Tax Sale
Law of 1891.

The case against O. A. Ryker and
the board of county commissioners,
an original proceeding in mandamus
in the supreme court, was heard by
the court on the 3rd inst. The action
was brought to compel G. A. Ryker,
county treasurer, to issue tax sale
certificates for all tracts of land sold
and bought in by Reno county at the
September sale of real estate for de-
linquent taxes due thereon, under
the provisions of chapter 162 of the
laws of 1891. The law of 1891 gives
all the counties adopting the same
right to bid in all lands sold for de-
linquent taxes aDd made it the duty
of county treasurer to reject all other
bids. Parties here appeared ut the
sale and bid the full amounts of the
tax on the north half of each tract
offered for sale, which bids were re-
jected. An action was instituted by
the bidders to attack the constitution
a1lity of the law of 1891, under which
Reno county made the purchase.
A large number of counties in the
state have adopted the law. according
to provision named, and are vitality
interested in the result of the action,
as decision that the law is uucon
stitutional will invalidate large
number of tax sales. The plaintiffs
are represented in the case by Vande-
veer & Martin, and G. A. Ryker, and
the county by Carr w. Taylor. In
addition to the written briefs fled,
the case was argued orally in the
supreme court by Mr.. Vandeveer and
Mr.. Taylor.
The opinion will be handed down
by the court at the February term

Heavy immigration from the
Eastern states t., various parts of Tex
as in the early spring is confidently
expected by officials of Texas lines.
In 1900 several thousands of Eastern
ers took up the cultivation of lands in
the Lone Star State, and the railroad
officials say that the general success
which has attended their efforts has
had the effect of putting other East
erners in the mind of seeking the
broad fields of the big state, too.

We received last week from the publish
ers, Crane and Company, of Topeka, a
copy of Tom McNeal's Fables. We have
been interested in this book for two reas-
ons-first, because there is a good laugh
and healthy moral in every page; second,
because its author formerly resided in
Medicine Lodge and was once editor of
this paper. The book may never out
rank 6sop's Fables in the public estirna-
ton, but to our mind Esop was not in it
a little bit with Tom McNeal when it
comes to constructing a fable that never
fairs to point a moral There is breeze
of the bully west and smell of verdant
hills and fertile plains in every page.
The book is illustrated by Albert II.
Reid, the most popular cartoonist in the
west. The book can be had from the
publishers for S1.25.-Medicius Lodge
Cressst.
We appreciate a copy of the book re-
esived. The author will enjoy = reputa-
tion equal to that Of 1Esop.

Judge Hazen, Of Topeka, who sent
to Jail Mrs. Carrie Nation. the Ha,chet
heroine. has received from a woman in
Douglas, Mich. this ominous letter;
We now propose, if Mrs, Nation is
held longer, to raise the greatest army
of women the world has ever known,
and wipe man out Of the earth"
Judge Hazen is unmoved The
smasher win not be released. What then
is to happen? Will the Michigan woman
carry out her dreadful purpose? VIII
she start the snowfall and roll it until
it becomes a man-crushing avalanche?
For men, at least. the question is in
teresting. How can a man pretend to
enjoy his meals when he knows that a
dark conspiracy is Matching. or hatch
citing? How can he laugh and joke and
shave himself and play at cards when
he knows not how soon he is to be
slaughtered?
Man has been on the planet for some
time, ana has been found rather useful.
Indeed, the fellow is proud of himself
and boasts consumedly. But there
comes an end to all things. An army
of Carrie Nations would oyerrun the
world. There would Be no resisting it.
Undoubtedly the Douglas woman is Of
nigh heroic breed. She doesn't care for
man. Possibly man doesn't care for
her. But she will make him fear her.
When her man-erasing army sounds its
terrible approach the long injustice Of
nan TO woman will be avenged. Man.
he tyrant Of ages. will be wiped out.
Possibly few good men, like the hus-
'and of Mrs. Nation. will be spared. but
Is for the rest of the scoundrels. they
must fall. Thus does joint-smashing
