recommend. The law under which the
assessments were made having beer
found imperative, has been superseded
by new law. a~nroved July 9 1902
Mr.. Davis goes on to say that through
the annual tax sale he collected $685.
J5302 of delinquent taxes on 21,432
pieces of property. In Mr.. Davis opin-
ion. only small percentage of this de-
linquency would have been collected but
for the authority conferred by this act.
The Personal Tax Law.
Mr. Davis continues with the following
observations on the personal tax law
and his estimates for TIE next fiscal
year:
The operations of the new personal
tax law will increase the duties of this
office by reason of the number and va
riety of interests taxable, many of which
were not subject 10 taxation heretofore.
There are always many persons, who
are liable for this tax, who await per-
sonal service before paying, and some
who only pay when threatened with
seizure of goods, and as the duty de-
wolves on this Office TO enforce payment
recommend a renewal of the appropri-
alton of $1,000 for the necessary ex-
penses in the collection of overdue per-
sonal taxes by restraint and sale and
and for other necessary items.
Mr.. Davis recommends that the salary
of the deputy collectors of taxes be in
creased to So 500.

PEACE RESTS WITH sTEYN.
Sir George GoIdie Discusses Conditions
 In South Africa.

London, March 25.-Sir George Goldie, vice president of the Royal Geographical Society and founder of Niagara, who has just returned from a thorough investiga- tion of South Africa, where he conferred with Lord Miner Lord Kitchener, Cecil Rhodes Sir Walter Hely-Hutchinson, the Governor of Cape Good Hope and num- bers of other influential men, brings home pessimistic ideas of the general sit uation. The conditions in Cape Colony he regards as especially dangerous.
 Sir Goldie said he was convinced that the question of peace or war rests in the hands of President Steyn. and that Mir. Kruger and the Boers in Europe no long CT represent Boer opinion. The real diff f1culty in the path of peace he believes Is the request of granting amnesty to the Cape and Natal rebels.
 Sir Goldie advocates the granting of amnesty to the rebels, but he insists that every one must be disfranchised for life. He deprecates any attempt to permit any use of the dual language. He says Eng fish alone must be the official language. He estimates that 100000 armed men would be needed in South Africa for some years after the conclusion of war.

CHANGE TO BE A KING
 REFUSED BY CARNEGIE
Steel Man Once Holder of Option on Title and Land of Achilles l., of
 Aracaunia, Who Died In Paris.

Pittsburg, Pa., March 25.-Andrew Car negie once passed up the chance of be- coming Andrew l., King of Aracaunia Achilles I. of the kingdom died recently in Paris.
 Several years ago Achilles figured out that Andrew Carnegie, being rich, might purchase his kingdom. He sent his Prime Minister. Count de Belligarde. to Pitts burg to lay the sale before the steel king. The latter took the subject under advisem ent and Count de Belligarde spent six weeks going over the plans with Mir. Carnegie. The kingship had no allure ments for the Pittsburger, but he was told that the land abounded in iron ores. He figured on the value of the Kingdom on the basis of cost of shipments of this ore to his Pittsburg blast furnaces. He finally gave up the proposition.
 The story was told by an Australian Lieutenant of Engineers who had been employed by Achilles as mapmaker. The stipulation was that the Austrian was to get up the brightest colored map im- aginable of Aracaunia to please his Ma jesty. He was to receive 50 cents per color.
 The Austrian who until recently was a resident of Pittsburg and was working for Achilles when the offer was made to Carnegie, said he beat all the colors of the rainbow and Joseph's coat in his ef- fort and got enough out of the map mak- ing to pay his passage to Pittsburg.

Tex, March 25.-In the hearing today in the district court on the sworn plelas of the individual defendants, in the antitrust suit against the Kirby Lumber Company the court dismissed the case en- tirely 1t having been already dismiss ed by the court as to the Kirby Lumber Company. This Is the end of the at tempts to bring any of the parties con- nected with the Kirby Lumber Com pany into court in connection with the anti trust statutes of Texas.
 After the decision of the court had been announced, dismissing the suit the attorney for the state of Texas, filed a written official statement in the case, re- citing that after full investigation into the facts he had satisfied himself that no violation of the antitrust statutes of Texas had been committed by the de- fendants and for that reason the state of Texas would take no appeal from the decison of the court.

CITIZENS FIGHT FOR TRANSFER. Hand-to-Hand Conflict When Request
 Was Turned Down.

Chicago, March 25.-The- citizens of the South End of Austin engaged the em- ployes of the Union and Consolidated Traction Company hand to hand in the fight for universal transfers, which Judge Ball has decided must be given.
 Eighteen men headed by W. E. Golden a druggist, rode back and forth on the West Madison street lines, demanding transfers from the trolley to the cables and back again. They were refused, as had been expected, and the efforts of the street car crews to eject them from the cars resulted in two pitched battles which tied up both lines for some time In the battle Golden's back was sprained and he was otherwise injured. None of the others were seriously hurt. A large num- Der of suits against the companies is on record as the result of the fight.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 25.-The Times says: "A battle of financial giants, with Los Angeles as it's theatre, has be- come three-cornered fight of continental interest. The war first broke out between H. F. Huntington and Senator w A. Clark, but now E. H. Hartman is com ing here to take a hand Tn it.
 Hartman Is much disturbed by the menacing attitude of the Huntington troll ley system towards the Southern Pacifcs local traffic, and by Huntington's success in getting away some of his chiefs office staff. He has determined to defeat Hunt ington if 1t Is possible, and to that hand has made overtures to Senator Clark for an alliance to parallel Huntington's local and inter urban trolley lines"

If you are one of those who have eaten too freely of Grape-Nuts and have been satiated, we have a word of help and ad- vice for you. It is a concentrated food. and the system requires and can handle only a small amount at time.
 If too much is taken nature revolts against the overlooking. Be moderate and enjoy the food day by day It is too valu- able to your system and to your sturdy health to give over. It is common fault for people to overeat candy or any other delicacy at some time in life. and from an excess be driven to abstinence. But with Grape-Nuts 1t will richly repay you to start again on the fixed allowance Of not more than three heaping teaspoons
