ONLY A BLUFF.

- .
The Republicans are flooding
the county with a little pamphlet
directed to the taxpayers OF Tyler
county. This pamphlet gives a
statement to show how much our
taxpayers will save under the new
tax laws. 1t says the total valua-
ton of real and personal property
for Tyler county for 1903 was 3d.
TAI 1897, and that ON this value the
taxes for that year on real and
personal property paid to State at
So cents on 800 amounted to $780,
1925.
The the next statement says the
taxes on the same basis for 1907
when all the State tax will be re-
duced from 80 cents to 5 cents
which will be devoted to school
purposes will be $2,S7O.94. The
next item estimates the additional
expenses imposed on the county
by the new tax laws will amount
to $500, at a liberal estimate and
deducting the amount leaves a
saving to our people of $40, 747.3l.
This is a fair sample of the argu-
ments the Republicans are trying
to hoodwink the farmers and bus
mess men into voting for Dawson.
1t is really so silly we doubt if
anybody will be fooled by such a
ridiculous statement. In the first
place, real estate and personal
property is to be assessed next
January at it's actual cash value
which it is conceded will increase
the amount of assessable property
at least two-thirds higher than it
is now assessed for. In 1905 you
pay State tax of "a cents on the
500 and in 1906 you pay State
tax of Is cents and then you come
down to the Scent levy, but please
figure up how much tax you will
have to pay before you reach the
scent levy in 1907. Then add to
the increased assessment the coun-
ty tax. We have shown when real
estate values were increased one
third the county tax was kept the
same one year, raised from 35 to
50 the second and laid at 45 the
next year. Judging the future by
the past you can say within the
bounds of reason the same thing
will happen again, and if it does
and it will-the little State tax
you will save will not amount to
but very little. You will really
pay more taxes than you ever did
and the farmer will hold the
brunt end of the tax bills.

SUICIDE MADE EASY.
Dependent Norwegian Took His Own
Life by simple Method of Hefus-
ing 10 breathe.

That it is possible TO commit suicide
by simply holding ones breath has
been clearly proved by Respondent
Norwegian, who recently killed him
self in this very unusual manner
When he determined to die he closed
his mouth and postrils and by mere
force of will prevented his lungs from
doing their lroper work.
This case is the more remarkable,
says the New York Herald, as there
has long been a popular notion that no
human bcins could by mere will power
stop the action Of the lungs for moro
than one or two minutes For this rea-
son Il has attracted much attention,
and a French writer, commenting on
it, says;
ITO persons of BOD taste who ara
weary Of life this method of commit
ting suicide will certainly commend t.
self, one reason beirg because the body
IL not disGgurcd thereby and another
because the net can be committed in
any place and at any time. 1t Is true
that sensitive or nervous persons will
never be able to kill themselves in this
manner, for, simple as II seems, the
act Of rctaining ones breath until
death comes can only be performed
by ono who is either unusually phleg
matte or endowed with a very strong
will"

IMPORTATION vr uEMS LARGE
Government Figures for Fiscal ieai
show Increase Of 80 Per Cent. in
knfux of Precious stones.

According to the compilation Of the
government officials, which has recent
~ been completed, diamonds and other
precious stones Of value exceeding 80
100000 were brought into the United
States between June 80, 1902, and June
30, 1903, and even this enormous total IL
probably below the actual value, for the
figures are taken from the invoices OF
the importers, who are not likely to over
value packages on which they must pay
high import duty.
1t is interesting to compare the fig
ures given above with those for previous
years. In 1902 the importation on this
count amounted to 1923 100000; In 1901
to 100000 900; in 1899 to $14000,000; in
1898 to $4,000 900; in 1897 to $4,000, 600;
IN 1896 to $G,750 600; in 1895 TO $780,
900; in 1894 to $5,5000o0,
Between 1887 and 1890 they had in
creased from $1oO00000 to s160000oo
but in the next three years they fell
off even more rapidly to $500 o0o.
The influence Of the depression Of 1899
is very clearly marked in the small i'm
portations for the following year, while
he tide Of prosperity which set IN In
1898 has carried the figures far beyond
all previous records.
Thus the total value of diamonds and
other gems brought into the United
states in the year just ended was half
again as great as in the preceding year
more than twice as great as in 1899 and
three times as great as in any year down
10 1887.
Verify the love for Jewels must grow
by what il feeds upon
Al present there exists a discrimina-
ton Of ten per cent in favor Of the cut
ting Of precious stones in America, with
the result that a steadily increasing pro-
portion of the total imports Is in uncut
form.
Thus the value ofwcut stones import
I'd has Increased from $4,000 600 in 1898
to 10000 600 in 1903, or about onc-third
