HEIRS CAN'T BE TAXED.
Decision on inheritance Law Of 1901
Mt WfnOna.

AcclSlOn on inheritance Law Oh lOUl

Winona, Mimi, May %. Probate
Judge D.. B. Vance has filed his de-
cision in the attack made upon the
constitutlonality of the inheritance
tax law Of 1901 in administering the
estate Of Nicholas Ries. The matter
came up in connection with the final
settlement of the estate, which, II the
law held good, could not be made until
the inheritance tax was paid. Judge
Vance holds that the inheritance tax
law of 1901 is unconstitutional n
void, and orders distribution OF the
estate without the Payment Of any IN
h~eritance tax. This is the first decls-
ion on the law of 1901, that OF 1902 hav-
ing been declared unconstitutional oy

Knitting for the Nerves.

A cueious story of the late Robert
Louis Stevenson is related by Mr..
David Phillips, whose new book,
Her Serene Highness, is to be pub
llsbed in May.
Mr.. Phillips, tells how Stevenson
was found at his hotel, in New York
one day, sitting up in bed. swiftly
and assiduously knitting. 1t was in
the days OF the greatnovelist's pros
perity and so Stevenson was at a
fashionable uptown hotel, and not at
the sailors resort, on the North Ri
yer, where he went on coming to
New York as a Storage passenger,
and which he described, in one of his
essays, as # it were a typical New
York hotel.
Stevenson, at the time of the
story told by Mr.. Phillips, was in
the habit of smoking a great number
Of cigarettes daily; frequently, in
deed, he smoked as many as
a hundred; and then would come
times when he would try to cut
down the amount. 1t was at one Of
these times of cutting down that
the incident men 5ioned took place.
AS his visitor entered the room
Stevenson looked up and bright
smile lightened his gaunt face.
But he did not cease from his knit
ing.
81 must do something in between
cigarettes, he said " it keeps my
nerves quiet" And he added with
another smile" It would surprise
you to know how it affects me when
I accidently drop a stitch. Sat

People who were, SO busy with
railroad affairs last week, perhaps
did not realize that one Of the great
est railroad men OF the country
was in the city. It was Marvin
Hughitt, president of the North
western roiIroad. While the citizens
committee were busy with the North
ern Pacific people, Mr.. Hughitt was
engaged with number of other Of
ficials in looking over the dock
property of his road in this city.
There has been some talk to the
effect that the Northern Pacific com
ingi in here might have a tendency to
put a little new life into the Omaha
people, and cause them to again start
their flour dock in operation. A
runlor has also been current that the
Omaha people would endeavor to buy
the Battle Axe at the sale next
month. This report came from the
fertil brain Of an Ashland newspaper
man. Those fellows over at Ashland
are certainly enterprising, but such
vague pipe dreams as they do have
are wonderful. A short time ago one
of them wrote up for the daily press
the sale Of the A. A. Bigelow proper
| ty. Although there was consider
alton of two million dollars, still the
CORES pondent thought the property
was in Ashland, and SO reported it.
Well.informed people say that there
is absolutely no probability of the
Omaha road figuring in or the deal,
and that when the sale is made it
will come off according to the regu-
larily arranged program, and that
there will be no other bidders than
the Northern Pacific.

Prevention Of Potato scab by Creating the

1k FL 16si1 seed aJl 5I ti
Potato scab is due 80 the growth
OF a fungus upon the skin of the
/ yona = pota toes Like all GIFTS kind
this fungus is propagated by spores.
/ The spores may exist in the soil, or
| they may be planted with the seed
potatoes. Potatoes are generally
more less infested with spores of
the scab, even if they are not visibly
AFFECTED with the disease. and scabby
Ipotatops are sure to be infested with

Farmers are agreed that the use of
/ fresh stable. manure favors scabs.
1 The manure does not produce the
scab, butt .favors the. growth of it
lin >the5 same way, perhaps, that it j
1faYors the growth of weed or of po-
tavoes. The tops of potatoes badly
infested with scabs are sure to be
infested with spores and should be
burned. IF the manure, the soil and
the seed potatoes were free from
| spores Of the scab fungus, there
could be no scabs in the potato crop,
no matter how much stable manure
were used. q
We have learned how to destroy
| the sscab spores on seed potatoes
without iniuring the seed in any way. s
If seed potatoes, treated according
| to the following formula, are plant~4
ed upon new land, or upon land that
has not produced potatoes for several
years, aud on which only well com
posed manure is used, the crop
should be practically free from scabs-
The formula, for the treatment, is
| as follows; aa
Before cutting the seed potatoes,
soak them for an hour and a half ina
solution made BY adding ore pound of
| formaldehyde to gallonsof water.
Fornaldehydeisi a liquid that may
Ibe purchased at drug stores Il
costs about 50 cents per pound. It
lis not injurious to clothing or the
hands, hence potatoes soaked in it
may be freely handled. They should
| not, however, be used for food or fed
to stock .s93sla n.s -
If the seed potatoes are very dirty
| il is best to wash them before treat
ling to the formaldehyde solution.
The same sciution FIJI al be useG over
| and over gain, but. as it becomes
dirty the time of soaking should be
somewhat prolonged. If it becomes
very dirty, II should be thrown away.
Badly scaled potatoes a should be
soaked one nalf hour longer than the
time named III the formula.
a limited quantity ofseed potatoes
may be treated in an ordinary barrel,
placing the 30 gallons of the solution
in this. A bushelo or. more of potatoes
may be put into. a gunny sack and

who plant a large acreage of potatoes
may do we'll to, construct a wood vat,
