CAULAH. SISTER OF DERAH.
Mystic shriners Will Commemorate
Her Memory in Their own Way.

Mystic shriners VIII Commemorate
Her Memory in Their own Way.
Alec Temple. Mystic Shriners, has
sent notices to its members to attend
a ceremonial session next Monday
night The notice is a characteristic
one and informs the mobiles of the
temple that at this meeting will be
commemorated the memory Of 'Caulah.
sister of Derah, noble woman whose
services gave lustre to the bravery and
honor of the early defenders Of our
faith Her example is worthy Of emu
lation. and we revere her memory. She
was of classic build and made goo-goo
eyes that would cause any discerning
Arab to get up in the middle OF the
night and leave his happy home.
Further Candidates are requested
TO wear their Sweetest Smiles and keep
their temper under all circumstances;
no one else wants il. If it gets too not
for you. ask our patrol the way to the
fire escape.
Don't be foolish and imagine ysu
will have things your own way you are
in the hands of your friends, and while
they realize that you would look just
too killing with wings, they'll not make
an angel of you just yet"
Some idea of what the candidate may
expect is further limited at in little
poem that the Shriners have included
in their notice Of the session. IL says:
"The house is full Of arnica
And mystery profound;
We do not dare TO run about
OR make the slightest sound;
We leave the big piany shut
And do not strike note;
The doctors been here seven times
Since father rode the goat.
HE joined the shrine week ago
Got in at a. m,
And sixteen brethren brought him
home,
Though he says he brought them.
His wrist was sprained and one big rip
Had rent his Sunday coat
There must have been lively time
When father rode the goat.
Hes resting on the couch to-day
And practicing his signs
The hailing signal. working grip,
And other monkey shines;
He muttArs passwords meath his
breath,
And other things he'll quote
They surely had an evenings work
When father rode the goat.
"He has > gorgeous uniform
All GOLD and red and blue.
A hat with plunles end yellow braid
And gold badges. too
But somehow when we mention 1t,
He wears q look so grim
We wonder is he rode the goat
or If the goat rode him"

goodbye, War Taxes.

All that is left OF the war revenue
act disappeared today, SO far as the
Internal revenue is concerned. The
revenue repeal act takes effect with
the beginning Of the new fiscal year
and it will make good deal Of differ
ence to many lines Of business.
Last year congress repealed certain
sections OF the revenue act. On July
/, 1901, the stamp tax on bank checks,
bills Of lading, express receipts, con-
veyances, telegraph messages, ware
house receipts and similar documents
was repealed.
There was left a small fraction Of
the stamp taxes on brokers' contracts
custom.houss papers, drafts, and bills
OF exchange, sleeping car tickets, and
q few minor items. All these are
now wiped out, and we have come to
the special taxes on brokers, bankers,
bowling alleys, bucketshops, petrola'
UNI and sugar refneries, and all
other classes which were especially
taxed to pay for the war with Spain
The internal revenue laws now return
practically to the place where they
were before the Spanish war.
The tax on beer during the war
was 80 per barrel, with discount
which made 1t about $l.S5. Last
year this was reduced to SLIGO per
barrel, without any discount. Now
beer goes back to the old rate OF 81
per barrel, with discount provided
for by the original internal revenue
act. 1t is not likely, however, that
the glasses will increase in size on
this account.
The tax on tea will remain in force
another six months. When that goes
the war taxes will have been abol.

ROOSEVELT AT THE CAPITOL.
The President Went to Room In the Sem
ate Wing Yesterday and Signed Bills
to Expedite Matters.

Washington, July 2. President
Roosevelt, accompanied by Secre-
taries Hay, Shaw, Moody, Hitchcock
and Wilson and Postmaster General
Payne, went to the capitol yester-
day afternoon in order to facilitate
the work Of congress, and in his
room in the senate wing of the cap
itol the president signed the Philip
pine civil government bill, the naval
appropriation bill and other meas
ures that went through in the clos
ing hours Of congress.
During a short executive session
one of the senator's undertook to
take Postmaster General Payne in
side, under the belief that member
Of the cabinet was entitled to be
present, but Mr.. Payne was escorted
out again and informed that while
the president was entitled to enter
the executive sessions, the privilege
did not extend to his cabinet. Dur
ing a lull in business In the presi-
dents room the pages came in and
were presented to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Some secured his signature for their
autograph albums.

Nr. Burton and the President.

President Roosevelt is evidently de.
termined that the gang Of Leland
sympathizers 10 Kansas shall fully
understand that In sttributing to him
their own sentiments they have Of
fered . grstuitous insult. Tho dis
patches from Washington which have
told Of snubs and i'll feeling manifest.
ed BY the president against Senator
Burton have shown the president in a
disgrsceful light. Heis too big a man
to act that way because another does
not exactly agree with him on mat
tiers Of party policy. He realizes that
there are many interests to be served
and probably honors Senator Burton
for unfolding the business interests
Of Kansas and the west.
Senator Burton has correctly repre-
sented Kansas. The party Is with
him stronger than overland Presi'
dent Roosevelt is with him.

The Marysville News, Congressman
Cslderhead's home paper, has thii
pertinent remark: Calling opponents
Of the Cuban bill insurgents or beel
sugar "boxers" may be a pleasant
pastime but there is no argument In
such epithets, and thereis more truth
than poetry in the contention Of the
opponents OF the bill that our debt to
Cuba, ii we owe them anything,
should be paid by all the people Of
the United States, and that it Is moi
fair to require the sugar beet growers
to assume the entire obligation. II
the senators we're asked to contribute
a part Of their salary to poor Cuba,
they would probably object as earnest
ly as the sugar beet grower objects
when he Is asked to contribute a part
Of bis crop.

HEAVY RAINS IN KANSAS.


Topeka, Kan, July 2.-The ex-
cessive rains are doing much damage
to the crops Of Kansas. In Potta-
watomie county over 700 acres Of
harvested wheat are under water.
The water reaches almost to the
top of the shocks Of wheat and much
of the cereal will be destroyed be-
fore the water recedes. The rain
throughout the eastern portion Of
the state early yesterday morning
amounted to almost a cloudburst.
Corn and other crops are making .
good growth, but the fields are SO
wet that they cannot be cultivated,
and the crop will therefore not make
nearly SO much as was indicated BY
the prospects two weeks ago. There
seems no immediate prospect Of re-
lief from the wet spell.
