There are Indications that the Joint con-

held In this city will disagree on the shot
firing clause which the miners want in

ports are correct the operators will not

TWO VIEWS OF TAXATION.

Here is quotation from n recent
speech of w. !. Bailey which is
characteristic of the man;
81 do not stand before you today
as defender of railroads, but ! be-
lieve in equal justice to all men, and
that all property, no matter what
class or kind. shall bear its equal
and Just proportion Of the burden Of
taXation. Any man who goes before
the people advocating that one class
Of property shall be taxed higher than
another class, and thereby appeals
to the prejudice of men, viii not be
sustained 10y the conscience or the
Judgment of the people Of this great
state
Mr.. Bailey does not appeal to the
preiudices Of the people, but to their
sense of fairness. The Kansas vOt-
ers the farmers if you please,
for most of the Kansas voters
are farmers are willing to bear
their honest share of the burden of
taxation. They do not ask, nor do they
want, to be relieved of load which
is rightfuny theirs. With Mr., Bailey
they believe in 'Justice to all men,"
Compare Mr.. Bailey's utterauce
with some Of the fool things Mir. Grad
dock is saying. AT Seneca the other
day he told his audience:

say religion, because it is good citi-
zenship- that isthis: ] have made
pledge that, if the fusion ticket is
elected, where you now pay 500 tax
you shall pay only $50 tax, and where
you now pay $40 tax you shall pay
only So tax"
And this is how Mr.. Craddock pro-
poses to do it:
"My proposition to you," he said,
sis this, and it is plaiu; want you to
see IL: The assessed value Of all the
property i'm the state is 300 millions OF
dollars, without the railroad assess
meut. II you would assess 600 millions
Of corporate property and public
utility corporations at 80 cents on the
dollar it would add 300millions more.
Can any thing be more straight? Sim

when you vote next fall those who

ANOTHER WIND STORM
Severe Wind Storm in Eastern Kan
Sas \ asterday.

Abilene, Kansas, Aug. lS-A terrific
rain and wind storm swept over the
south part of Marion counties this
evening about . O'Clock. At Lost
Springs the damage was greatest. A
new mill being built byD d. Nusz was
blown down; the Santa Fe depot was
partly destroyed, several cars were
blown of the track and number of
small houses damaged. No fatalities
are reported, though some injuries
were inflicted on persons in the build
ings. over the course of the storm,
grain stacks were scattered, and farm
buildings and windmlls damaged.
Hope and Ilerington we're given a
severe scare, but no serious damage
was reported. Heavy rain accom-.
panied the storm, and the electrical

WHEAT A BOOMING CROP HERE
Allen County Farmers Have DiscOv.
cred that They Can Raise it
Very Proitably on Prairie

Time was when Allen county was
wholly dependent on her corn crop
for her three meals u day which AN
immutable Nature specified as needed
by her inhab bitanls. With the finding
Of gas the towns began to grow inde-
pendent of agriculture, the markets
improved and farmers are now get
ting wiser aud are raising diversified
crops with greater success than ever
before. one of the important new
factors is wheat, which it was claimed
at one time could not be grown in this
county, except on bottom lands. 1t
is now being successfully grown on
the uplands and the coming year will
see the largest acreage ever sown in
this county.
j. s. Lehman, wheat buyer at
Humboldt, says that the best wheat
received this year was from Frank
Petit, who raised IL out in Salem
township, on upland ground. 1t was
sixty pound wheat and was fine in
quality. The secret Of the new crop
is the discovery hat with little fer
tilizer the prairie land brings good
crops. The ferti izcr costs from SIS
to S25 Il ton and the amount put on an
acre of land is from 100 to 200p pounds.
Thus the fertilizer only makes an
added expense Of about 81 an acre,
while the result are greatly increased.
The farmers t5.i.n.to the amounts
they want, combine and buy car
load, thus cutting down the expense.
For several years now quite a mum
Der of prairie farmers have been eX
perimenting with fields in this way
which at prevailing prices, makes the
crop paying one.
Mr.. l.. B. Pearson is one OF the
converts who will put in an SO-acre
field and he says ne knows of whole
lot more who are going to try IT, But
experience indicates that the growing
of wheat is to become one of the regu-
lar crops of Allen county and the
financial results cannot help but
prove widely felt.

APPENDICITIS.
Some Facts Regarding Its Rapid IN
crease.


Appendicitis among Americans is
certainly increasing and while this is
probably due to the excitement and
worry of American business life, it is
more often directly traceable to con
stipatlon. Appendicitis is caused by
extraneous matter entering the vermi-
form appendix and not by the swallow
ing of seeds. If the digestive organs
are kept in perfect condition so the
food is duly assimulated and the
bowels move gently, at least once u
day, appendicitis will never develop.
Don't take chances. Regular doses
of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin before
meals will strengthen the organs OF
digestion, your appetite will be good
constipation disappears and you feel
better in every way. DR.. Caldwell's S
Syrup Pepsin does not relax the
bowels by irritation, but by curing
indigestion, the cause of constipation,

speech Mr.. Craddock explained that
the total average tax is $40 to each
voter. SO it is that Mr.. Craddock
not only proposes to reduce taxes
one.half, but eliminate them altogeth-
err, for does he not promise the voter
that if he elects the fusion ticket it will
mean just $40 to him?
Mr.. Craddock's plan is fearfully
andl wonderfully made, but it is reas-
onably certain that no candidate
for governor Of Kansas will
ever try the tax reduction razzle-daz-

person to approach him. Heretofore
the visitors to the Schwab home were
greeted with a hearty welcome and a
vigorous handshake. Now the visit
or is met at the entrance and told that
Mr.. Schwab cannot be seen. Close
friends of the family receive the same
message and none has been able to
converse with President Schwab since
he came back to his home.
When newspaper man called Mrs.

see any person and had not been re-
ceiving visitors for many days, Mr..
Schwab sat on a couch within hearing
of the voices. Apaper was before his
eyes. lie exhibited 20 interest and
made no attempt to move. Business
associates, it is said, have met with a
similar reception in the last few days.
Mr.. Schwab has been directed by
his doctors to rid his mind
of all business cares, and he
is obeying the orders religiously.
Mr.. Schwab's salary as president
