A New holidaYl

Although our calendar is pretty
well filed, with holidays, both state
and national, at the present time, a
new one has been gradually added to
the list and is looked forward to, es-
pecially by the young people, as be
ing equally as important an event in
their lives as Thanksgiving or the
coming of Santa Claus. The appear
ance in this city of Gentry Brothers
Famous Shows United will, indeed, be
a holiday for the little ones. AS is
the usual custom, the schools will
give the children an opportunity OF
attending both tho parade and the
performance. in which they take such
special delight, and for whose appro-
baton this season Gentry Brothers
have combined their famous shows
and will exhibit in this city with all
of their former exhibitions united
into one big trained animal cavalcade.

Taxes Are Too High.

The Index does not desire to be un.
derstOOd that taxes are not enormous,
In It's defense of the county commission
ers. We know they are outrageous and
should be lowered as speedily as possi.
BILE. We only desire to show to the
thinking taxpayers that the evil had
its inception under republicanism and
that the charge made by the machine
organ that the democratic commission on
ers are responsible for it, is false.
Our belief, however, Is that the work
OF buying in bonds at the present pric
es should stop to give the public time
to breath. The great portion of our ex.
penditures for the past two years has
been made to buy bonds at discount
and some good bargains have been
landed, but that day is past. Our un.
derstanding is that no more can De Sc.
cured for less than Sc per cent. and If
that is true no levy should be made for
that purpose until later when the tax
pers haye had the benefit OF lower taxes
for few years. at least.
1t would also be good business prop.
csition to sell the poor farm If 1t can
not be put on a paying basis. Up to
the present time it has been drain on
the county treasury and has yielded No
benefit. This investment, by the way,
was made by republican board of
commissioners.
With these two items of expense
eliminated, the general and poor levies
could be reduced to small fraction of
what they are now. Some sort of rem
edy should be resorted to at once. Tax
es in some parts of the county amount
to almost contiscatiOn. But as high as
they are, they are yet small compared
with what they may be If the new re-
publican tax law IL enacted, and it's
author claims to have a sufficient mum
ber of pledges from legislators to secure
it's passage. If that proves true, then
we will be afflicted. And yet the re.
publican manipulators tell us that the
only, way to reduce taxes IS to elect all
republicans to office. We have been
trying that remedy since 1897 How dc
you like the "remedy?"

Lost Her Husband.

The K. G. papers last week contain
ed an account of Minnie Thompson, of
Medicine Lodge, coming to Kansas City
in search of her husband, Frank Grant
Thompson. 1t seems that shortly after
leaving last summer MIR. Thompson
wrote letter to his wife but sign ed
his name Frank Thompson, instead of
Grant Thompson as he was known
here. In answering she directed her
letter to Frank Thompson and it fell
into the hands of another man in Kan
sas by that name, who, after receiving
several letters, wrote and told her that
the right man was not receiving them.
Mrs. Thompson went to Kansas City
the first Of last week, taking the three
small children with her and enlisted the
as sistance of the authorities to find her
husband which it is thought will be
success sful. Meanwhile she and her
children are being cared for by the
police matron.
Grant Thompson is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. M. G. Thompson formerly of this
city but now residing at Lake City.
