THE United States census bulletin
giving the various agricultural and
other products of Texas for 1899
shows some glaring discrepancies
between the census takers reports
and those of the tax assessors of
the state, according to the Calves
ton News Austin correspondent.
In the item of cattle, for instance
Texas owners are convicted by the
census Of having had in 1899 no
les than 9,42S.196 head, while the
state comptroIler's report for 1901,
two years later, shows only 6 5000
head of cattle in the state. Other
items of taxable property also show
up much larger in the census returns
than in the tax assessors reports,
but none show such a great dis
crepancy as the item of money. The
United States comptroller of cur
rency in the year 1901 found that
there was $72,O0O,OO0 Of cash de-
posted in the national banks Of
the state, while the total amount
rendered for taxation that year was
only $15,000,000 Thus it appears
that Texas property owners are as
expert at tax lodging as the New
York millionaires.

ANOTHER who has found the
atmosphere in America unfit fol
members of the millionaire class is
James J. Van Allen, who declares
he will go to live in England, "the
only place fit for a gentleman" So
he will transfer himself and his
millions to that island, where his
wealth Will buy him the privilege
Of hob-nobbing with titled people,
who will drink his wines and smoke
his cigars, and laugh in their sleeves
at him.

ACCORDING to Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson, "the cause for the
increase in the price of beef is nat
ural." If'the secretary be right,
then what is the meaning of the
administrations suits against the
beef trust? Either Mr.. Wilson is
woong, or else he is merely trying
to screen the beef combine. In
either event, his remarks put the
administration in the light of
making sort OF grand stand play
for the sake of the effect upon the
people.

GEN. NILES PERMIT
To Visit Philippines-What He 5
Expected to Do.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 26-.
The War Department this after
noon gave out the order issued to
Lieutenant General Miles to go to
the Philippines. 1t is signed by
William Carey Sanger, Acting Sec
rotary of War, and is as. follows:
'War Department, Aug 20
Sir: / have the honor TO state that
your application for authority to
inspect that portion of the army
serving in the Philippines is ap-
proved by the President. You will
sail about the 18th of September,
and inspecting the condition of the
army, will give particular attention
to its instruction, discipline and to
supplies of all kinds"
1t is the understanding that in
that capacity, though of superior
rank, General Miles will not inter
fere in any way with General Chat
fee or his successor, General Davis,
in the direction of the army in the
Philippines. He will critically ex-
anime the conditions as he finds
them, devoting his attention entire
" to matters Of administration and
not to political affairs, and the re-
suits of his wQ& VIII be embodied
in set ot<ports. Some such work
as this was undertaken few months
ago by Inspector General Brecken-
ridge, who has prepared volumin-
Gus set of reports, which have not
yet been published, making sugges-
tions for the betterment of the mill
tary service at every point, from
transportation down to discipline,
accoutrements and supplies.
In the absence from Washington
of General Miles no one at army
headquarters is fully authorized to-
discuss the details of his projected
trif But it is believed here he will
be accompanied by at least two
mem Rers of staff, namely, Lieuten-
ant Colonel Whitney and Colonel
Reber, Che latter his son-in-law.
Colonel Maus, who is the inspect
ing officer of r. staff, also may ac-
company General Miles.

Gently. Il should be delighted to
matriculate him at an American
college, but unfortunately he can
not enter the United States once
pass beyond its boundaries, and he
would have no standing before the
law. The Chinese exclusion laws
are such that ! would be prohibit
ed from educating my son in this
country. although | think it would
be to his advantage to receive his
collegiate training and POSTCARD
uate degrees here. After my depart
ure it would be possible for any
fanatic to denounce the boy and
make it very unpleasant for him.
However, | hope within a few years
that the statesmen of both coun-
tries Will evolve some basis of law
which will permit Chinese mer-
chants and students to reside in
this country under proper regula-
ton of law
Probably the astute Chinese min
lister never presented a better argu-
ment for his opposition to the Chi
nese exclusion laws than the above.
The boy Is peculiarly bright and
has received almost his entire pri-
mary education in the public schools
at Washington. He inherits his
fathers peculiar knack of observing
things. Near the Chinese legation
Is a sky-scraper apartment hotel.

panions were discussing their Bible

and thus ended what has proven to be
one of the most notable and skilfully
fought criminal cases in the annals OF
Madison county.
1t will he remembered that on the lth
Of Nov. 1901, the defendant, joel II,
Redding, shot and killed Archie Hardy,
bis brother-in.law, in a coach Of a train
on the South Georgia railroad while
both were en- route TO Greenyille. There
had been trouble between the two men
for some time and this day brought the
fatal elimination Of the feud which
resulted in the death of Hardy, Public
sentiment was divided, many contending
that Reddipg was justified in killing
Hardy while as many others were of the
opinion that the killing was unjustlii
able and that Redding had committed 4
cold blooded murder. Within I8 hours
Of the commission Of the act Reddins
had been spprehendel, he having sur
rendered to the Sheriff, an was placed
IN the county jail where he has since
been. Able and eminent counsel wer,

CH1LDREN's QUESTIONS.
Why Parents Should EndeavOr to
Answer Them Instead of Snub-
bling the InQuirePH.

Little folks are wont to ask the most
terribly embarrassing questions at
times, and the more intelligent the
children are the more they will want
to know, for the active little brain OF
a clever child is always asking the why
and wherefore of everything. In deal
ing with children's questions be careful
to discriminate between those which
are asked from the desire to know and
those which are the outcome merely of
a childish love of talking. The latter
are often best dealt with by saying,
quite gently: IF you think little.
dear, you will be able to answer that
for yourself" To questions of the for
mer class reply if possible, as carefully
as you would to an adult questioner
If the matter be beyond the child's
comprehension or unsuitable for ex.
PLANTATION to one of tender years don't

Say simply: II cannot explain that to
you now, for you are rot old enough to
understand it. By and by, when you
are older, if you come and ask me
again, then I will do my best to tell you
what you want to know" If parents
would speak thus to their children, in
stead of snubbing, or laughing at their
questions, they would keep their con
tidence, and by and by would be re.
ferred to for information which boys
and girls are sure to want and which
is best learned from a fathers or a

A great boom has sprung up in Bone
steel, to which point the North-W West
ern Line is building. Last fall there
were fifty settlers there. To-day there
is town of 800. Ninety days from now
there will be 5000. Five real estate
offices have opened, and town lots
are selling at from $500 to $500 each.
The Reservation will probably be
opened by lottery plan, such as was
made use of in Oklahoma. Fifty thou
sand people are expected to take part
in the drawing for the land.
To enter homestead of 16O acres
one must be the head of a family or
have attained the age of twenty-one
years; citizen of the United States
or one who has filed his declaration to
become such. To establish title to
the land, residence must be maintained
thereon, improving and cultivating the
land continuously for five years.
With the completion of the North
Western Line from Verdigre to the
Reservation boundary at Bonesteel,
there will, without doubt, be tremen-
dous influx of homesteaders as soon
the Presidents proclamation sets a,
date for the opening. Interest in the
matter in Nebraska is intense.
