Will Not Employ Tax Ferrets.

Ottawa, Kas., Jan. 28.-After a pro-
1onged controversy over the subject of
employing Tax ferrets" to list cash and
mortgages for taxation. the county
commissioners voted to reconsider their
provisional contract employing Moir &
Co, who are now working in Douglas
county, for this work. It has been un-
derstood that the firm would solicit
contracts in all the eastern Kansas
counties, using the information secured
in each for listing property in the 9TH
ers. The agitation in this county has
resulted in a public meeting at which
it was voted to list all property at its
cash value hereafter.

Pittsburg, JAM, 28.-At 3 o'clock this

chief of state department of mines says
the explosion was undoubtedly caused
by the accumulation of fire damp. This
is fact and not a theory. Inspector

NET EARNINGS SMALLER.
Santa Fe Had Big December Increase
in Operating Expenses.

While Atehison gross earnings for De-
cember show an increase of SO per cent,
operating expenses increased 1873 per
cent. leaving a decrease in net earnings
of 500, 1872, or 4 per cent, compared with
the corresponding month lastyear- Oper-
ating expenses for the month were $3.50
per cent of gross, being the heaviest
since last July, when operating expenses
were 60 So per cent. December gross at
Sc, 0s5, ZIG is also smaller than November
and October.
For the first six months of the fiscal
year, to December 81, 1903. the gross
earnings show an increase of 1873 per
cent and operating expenses an identical
increase. For the six months the aver
age of operating expenses to gross earn
ings was 1913 per cent. December,
therefore, was considerably above the
average. The fact, however, that gross
increased nearly 9 per cent is the favor
able feature of the showing.

RADJUM PLANTATIONS.
7scientist Thinks the Wonderful sub- stance Can Be Used to Cure
 Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

Frederick Sodcy, who was Prof. Ruth erford, assistant at McGill university, In Montreal, has suggested another use for radium. He argues that as it has been found to cure consumption of the skin (lupus), 1t should also cure con sumption of the lungs, If its rays can be brought to bear directly on the diseased lung tissue, without any intervening substances, such as the chest wall. At first sight, says the Scientific American, this seems rather difficult thing to do, as 1t is, of course, out of the question to place any solid mass of radium within the lungs themselves. But recent stud les have shown that radium in a solution gives off a gas and that this gas is itself radioactive. So all that is necessary to subject the internal lung tissue to the direct action of radium rays is to breathe a mixture of air and the radium gas. By this means Mir. Soddy believes a new and valuable remedy for consumption will be available to the pathologist The rays from radium have already proved use- full in the treatment of several forms of skin disease, and 1t has been suggested that the insertion of minute particles of radium in the interior of a cancer is worth trying. It should be remembered. however, that even If radium proves vai- uahle in the treatment of pulmonary tu- berculosis, its cost is so high-several hundred dollars a grain--that 1t could not come into general use under present conditions.

DIVORCE LAWS ABROAD.
m Trance the Innocent Party May Re cover All the Presents He or
 She Has Given

'sThere are many curious and inter- esting facts regarding the marriage and divorce laws of foreign countries" said R. J Brown, who, reports the In- dianapolis News, recently returned from trip abroad, where he made a study of the question.
 Breaches of promise are averted in Hungary by an express declaration of the civil marriage act (1S95) that the relations created by betrothal do not give the right to command the con- cIusion of q marriage, Lut if either party withdraws from an engagement without just reasons he or she is bound to grant compensation to the extent of the outlay incurred. Divorce in the English sense does not exist, but the courts can decree the personal separation ot married couple with- out dissclving the bonds of marimony
 "A curious law prevailing in France provides that. before being married, children of family. although over age, shall seek Ill respectful and formal terms the advice of their father and mother. It makes no difference. how ever, whether the consent of parents is given. for the couple can be married 3 mouth after under any circumstances. This is also the case in the Neither lands. @ w

NO TIME TO SURRENDER

Now that congress IS soon to con vene again, there is a disposition m some quarters of Alaska to disregard the platforms of the democratic and re- publican conventions and the reSolu' tions of the nou-partizau convention which met last fall at Juneau, and to appeal to congress for a few small favors. It is urged that there IS no need talking territorial government to members of congress because, iJ is said, they will not listen to the proposition. Therefore, there are those who would have us beg for a few little appropria- tions, and a delegate in congress They, of course, would not insist that the delegate be appointed by the presi- dent rather than that he be elected by the people. However, it is argued that We should not be stiff necked over the proposition, and that, it we cannot get a1 elective delegate, we should repose our trust in the wisdom and kindly dis position of Nr. Roosevelt, and be thank ful for any kind of a represatjve at the national capital.
 Out with such time servers. Let us quit acting the part of mendtcantS. Let us DO longer beg for crumbs from the table where others feast. Let us be men and ask for those things to which manhood is entitled.
 The people of the district have said by every means it is given them to speak, that they want to exercise the right Co govern themselves, a right that belongs Co American citizenship. But, iorsOOJh, it is coUtended that to ask for that right would be to speak to deaf ears. What Of iJs Did the Amer ican colouists ask whether their pett- tions would be favOrabIy received by George III and the tory ministry: Never, They were men who under stood their rights, and they asked for them as became men. \ few tories tn that day pleaded the same >ycophantic palayer that is being emitted by the tories of Alaska today. but they re- ceived the attention they deserved and such as the Alaskan tories deserve. Until the people Of Alaska show that they are in earnest and that they are demanding rights with the confidence of men who understand that 10 which tbey are entitled. we will be treated as children rather than as men.
 This is DO time to surrender our hon. or. Let us ask for Seli-goverumcut. Itwedo not get i,, We will at least retain our self-respect. That is worth whole lot more than a bite or two from the pie counter.
