They were talking about getting bald.

doctor was saying. 81 have noticed
that Il great many business men wear
them in their Offices. The head should

winter as well as in summer. or n least
he did until last winter. when he had
an experience that cured him of 1t.
"One very cold afternoon he left the
office early, and as he walked briskly
through the street he noticed in a rather
absentminded way that he was attract
ing considerable attention. People turn
ed and looked after him and laughed.
il was not until he had walked five or
six blocks that he realized what it all
meant. He met lady of his acquaint-
ance. and when he went to raise his
hat he found that he was still wearing
the old straw one, having forgotten TO
change il when he left the office. For
tunately there was hat store near by.
and he went in and bought one more
suitable to the season" -Philadelphia

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

Tax Commissioner Oakman submitted
his report to the legislature on the 10th.
His is the last OF the individual re-
ports The full report of the commits
sion has been completed, but Is SO vol
luminous that a week or 10 days will
be required to typewrite the matter
and prepare IL for the state printer
Mr.. Oakman commends the earning
power of railroads as tax basis, and
figures that the total cash values of the
roads in the state is Sls5, 937, 500. "a,
which at an average tax rate of Si5.47
per 81 900, the revenue to the state
would be 81, s7i, 453.
Rep. Kerr introduced three bills in
the house on the 18th, all OF which
have an important bearing on the gen.
eral tax laws of the state, and the pas
sage of which would practically put
the tax commission out of business.
The bill, which strikes directly at the
latter, provides that the power of the
state tax commission shall be confined
exclusively to looking after assess
mepts for state purposes alone and
prohibits them from interfering with
the assessment of property for city and
county purposes
There is a great deal of opposition
to the Atwood bill, because it provides
that the decision of the proposed new
state board of assessors on railroad as
sessments shall be absolute and final.
Many legislators want provision
made for reviewing the boards work
by a higher body, and would make the
governor and railroad commissioner,
and perhaps the attorney general,
members of such board of review.
Rep. Colby and several Of the farmer
members of the legislature are advo-
eating plan TO practically raise the
salary Of Attoruey-General Oren from
$500 to 81, 500. They would do this by
making the Encouragement an OK
oflicio member of either the tax COM
mission or the proposed new state rail
road tax board at "A salary Of 81, 000
Rep. Randall on the 18th gave notice
of the introduction of a bill TO amend
the divorce law by providing that
where a married man or woman has
been confined in an insane asylum for
five years and pronounced incurable,
this will be sufficient grounds for
granting a divorce to the party suing
for one.
Senator Murfn, of Detroit, will soon
introduce in the senate his bill to
make the Office of Wayne county sheriff
a salaried one, cutting off all fees. He
would have the salary fixed somewhere
between Sc. 900 and $40. 900.
1t is reported at Lansing that Gov.
Bliss has decided 10 find successors for
the three tax commissioners now hang
ing over.
The senate on the 18th confirmed all
the appointments sent to that body by
Gov. Bliss the day before.

ions by Chairman Foss of the naval

TRANSVAAL WAR ITEMS.

Gen. Brabant, while addressing n
conference of mayors at Cape Town,
said the authorities were anxious to
keep the war away from Cape Town,
if possible, but that the only hope of

ton should be omitted to prevent the
enemy from advancing further south.

loss of killed II wounded and miss
ing at Murraysburg, where the Dutch

According to a dispatch from Brus-
sells, bubonic plague is raging among
the British troops in Cape Colony, and
many deaths that are attributed to en-
teric fever and dysentery are really

Kitchener, and the London war office,
in carrying out this decision has de-
termined to enlist 5000 yeomanry vol
unteers.

CHIN warren EWS.

So far as the state department at
Washington can influence the negotia-

of points upon which there is no disa-
greement whatever between the allies,
before undertaking the solution of the
more difficult problems involved in the
settlement of the questions of indem-
mites, guarantees and commercial
treaties 1t is fully expected that the
Chinese representatives will offer OPP
position to almost every point in order
to secure more favorable terms.
