: ODDS AND ENDS.


Over at Harvey the other day a
young man who is addicted to the red
necktie habit received an object lesson
that he will probably not forget in
the immediate future. If all re-
ports be tue at Harvey lovers
lane is near the ball ground
and near the ball ground is bull, an
unhappy combination of circum-
stances, as the experience of the Har-
vey young man with the taste for
gaudy neckwear amply proves. The
young man and his lady friend sue
ceeded in strolling neer the ball
ground unmolested until the bull
spied the red necktie, when the pro-
testation stunts of the animal in his
most ample basso profundo we're all
sufficient to convince the young peo-
pie that it was time to take to the
grand stand. The situation was fast
becoming dramatic when a hobo hap
pened by and succeeding in attract
ing the bulls attention by waving a
red rag until they could make their
escape-all of which goes to show
that as eminent authority has often
maintained there is nothing in wear
ing a red necktie at any stage OF the
game.

thought it worth their while. Later
in the day Miss Lizzie Smith, who
with a party of young lady friends,
was indulging in the pastime Of run
ming down hill fell down and broke
her collar bone, but the real event of
the day came in the evening, when
an Indian medicine man did strange
stunts On the streets. The versatility
of the doctor and his medicine was a
wonder and after having entertained
the crowd in good shape for several
hours and incidentally having done
a very good business he accomplished
his real feat which consisted OF
hypnotizing his wife and sewing her
lips together with a needle and
thread. All are agreed that it was
a big day for Neche.

NoRTHCOrT AND ONE OTHER

require railroad companies to put in
electric bell signals ut any grade cross
ing; also extending the powers of the
railroad and warehouse commission

such lines are outside of the corporate

are specifically exempted from capital
stock assessments. The merchants
want to be placed in the same class.
The bill they ask for simply adds the
words land purely mercantile" to the
clause in the revenue law concerning
these exemptions. They argue that a
merchant has less of a chance to evade
his share of the taxes than tempts
any other business man, providing, of
course, the local assessor does his full
duty. His stock of goods is open and
a part of his business is to display his
goods to the public. Nothing can be
hidden and values are staple. In this
respect his assets are different from
stocks, bonds, mortgages and similar
property.
The following is the way the thing
is looked at by a merchant: Under the
present revenue law the local assessors
are required to assess the tangible as
sets of a corporation. In the case of
the merchant this assessment as rule
includes every dollar the business is
worth. But If the merchant conducts
his business as a corporation he is
called before the state board of equali-
zatiOn and required to make second
sworn statement as to his property. If
it happens that his capital stock is
greater than the amount of the assess
ment listed by the local assessors, the
chances are heavily in favor of an adj
ditional assessment on the capital
stock by the board.
I'm practice this is the way 1t works
out: A is the proprietor of dry goods
store. He has 100000 invested in his
business and the local assessor enters
up that amount against him for taxa
ton. A runs his business on copart-
nership basis. Across the street Il has
similar business, but he has incOr-
porated it into a stock company. The
capital stock is 100000 and this
amount is put into the business. The
local assessor assesses this company
100000 also, the same rs he does
AS. But as the law stands B is re-
quired to go before the state board
! of equalization and demonstrate TO
that skeptical body that his business is
fully taxed by the 100000 and that he
should lawfully pay nothing on capital
stock. In a majority of cases he has
to pay also on his capital stock"
The bill to amend the revenue law
and protect such mercantile corpora
lions has been presented in both sen
ate ana house. III the senate it is be-
fore the corporations committee.

double taxation in the past because of
the fact that they are conducting their
business as corporations, except to get
relief at the hands of the present legis-

of Chicago who loan money to en-

ment of their undue salaries have
raised a fund for the purpose of de
feating legislation looking to the pro-
hibition of the assignment of salaries.
The senate has had the matter under
consideration, and the judiciary COM
mittee reported an amendment to one
bill which it is claimed affords no pro
lection whatever to employers, who
will still be liable to suits by money
sharks" on assignments of salaries.

as asserted, have raised money TO de-

AN OLD COLD
IS Catarrh, and Catarrh Leads
to CONSUMPTION.

The tendency of catarrh of the head
is to pass downward through the bron-
chial tubes to the lungs. Any one who
has had catarrh of the head for a wear or
more finds the disease gradually pro-
crossing downward. In some cases the
progress is rapid, and in other eases it is
slow; but sooner or later if catarrh is
allowed to run, it will go to the lungs
and set up the disease known as con-
sumption. 1t is doubtful if consumption
is ever caused by anything except ca
tarrh.
The catarrh usually begins as cold in
the head or throat, and is neglected until
it becomes chronic; then it begins to
dawn on the victim that he has catarrh.
Unless he is very foolish indeed he will
not rest easy until the catarrh is entirely
cured. Thousands pay no attention to
it until it is too late.
Mrs. J. Priest, Lee, Mich, writes :-"I
think there is no medicine on earth that
| excells Peruna. My husband won't take
any other. We have tested it and it
worked a great change in my sons
health last spring when we thought he
was going into consumption. We gave
him only one bottle and he was all right.
tell everybody about how much good
it has done us. My husband says he
can't do without it. AS for myself it
saved me seven years ago from going
blind. I could not see to read one word
for six weeks. I thought should surely
lose nay sight. I commenced taking Pc
runa and by the time had taken one
bottle could see to read as well as ever.
We think it is a grand medicine."-Mrs.
J. Priest.
