WHO is TO BLAMEY
Distrust of Republican Prosperity In
Business Centers,

"a lull in traffic" is the way the
New York Journal of Commerce heads
the news from Chicago about the rail-
road situation. Western railway men
have been somewhat disappointed at
traffic developments in their terri
tory. They find that business is not
picking up as rapidly as they had an
ticipated and they are now inclined
to take rather gloomy view of the
outlook, says the same newspaper,
and the further information is given
that farmers are resting on their
oars, so to speak, as far as money
matters are concerned, while mer
chants and manufacturers are ex-
tremely cautious" The largest job
bling interests report very small vol
ume of seasonable business. Collec-
tons are reported easy and money is
plentiful, but railway traffic seems to
grow no better. An officer of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railway explains
the situation that farmers have spent
money freely for three or four years
and are able to get along with the i'm,
provements they have made for some
time forward. Sentiment for the last
six months has been that hard times
are coming and retrenchment is uni
versal watchword." Oficers of the
other Western railroads are quoted in
the same vein.
Now with money plentiful and crop
prospects good and improving, why
are the farmers, merchants and man
ufacturers all resting on their oars?"
Can it be that high trust prices have
impoverished them and low trust
prices for cattle and hogs are re-
ducing their income and although
there is plenty of money in the banks,
if the farmer wants any of it he will
have to borrow it?
The Democrats nnot be blamed
for this decline of the boom times,
for the Republicans have full control
of all departments of the government,
their rosperity-breeding protective
tariff has been, and is in full blast.
making the trusts richer and the
poor poorer and keeping the balance
OF us on the ragged edge to know
how we are to meet our bills. Secre-
tary Shaw, the financial expert of
this tremendous administration, de-
clares that we were never so prosper

prices seor nearly everything we buy,
we pay it to ourselves and that ought
to make us rich. Is Providence de-

for Secretary Shaw says so? But that
cannot be, for the Republican lead.
iers have about all assured us, many
times and often. that Providence is
on their side. Is President Roosevelt
to blame? A good many Republicans
seem to think SO.

Some Home chastisement.

The Democrats may as well drop
the tariff issue if they cannot discuss
it like men with robust conviction.
1ney will win no votes by paltering
with the subject. This is year for
plain speech. The voters of this
country are without exception adults.
The tariff discussion thus far heard
in the campaign seems to have been
addressed to nursery audience

TO PREVENT vERMIN.

A handful of sawdust sprinkled with
carbolic acid and thrown in a nest box
will prevent vermin. If sawdust so
treated is scattered in the stalls and on
the floors Of stables, flies and insects
of all kinds will be less troublesome.
Crude petroleum will be found excel
lent as a liniment for sores and will
also assist in keeping yermEl away.

FARN TOPICS
SHELTER THE HOG.

The hog is very sensitive to cold and
should be well sheltered when the sea-
son becomes severe. He will try to
keep warm by burrowing into his litter,
and when hogs are in large numbers
they will crowd together, or upon each
other, for the same purpose. This is
injurious, as 1t is opposed to a supply
Of pure air.

Good PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENTS

A side walk has been ordered laid
by the city council on the west side
Of Routt avenue extending from
Northern avenue south to Michigan
street q distance Of mile.
With the exception Of the first lbs
feet next to Northern which will be
IL feet wide, the walk will be 6 feet
in width and laid mostly in cement,
which makes q uniformly even and
handsome walk.
DR.. W. o. Patterson was very &C.
tive in the matter and to him is due
q large portion of the credit for the
success of this fine public improve
ment.
The city has also ordered the gaps
to be filled in on the north side of
Northern avenue and 12-foot ce-
ment walk is being laid there now.
Other side walks should follow.
This coming summer and fall should
be known as the era of side walk lay
ing in Bessemer.
With paved streets and the best
side walks in the city the day is ap-
preaching when Bessemer will be
looked up to as an enterprising and
progressive part Of Pueblo.

Short Ono Attraction.

A discriminating providence took
hand in the proposed bull fight affair
Sunday last at the Worlds Fair and
as a result it was not pulled off"
There was riot, though, in which q
number Of heads were vigorously rap

a dollar each and the arena was burn

What Has County Treasurer
Been Doing With Cash.
About $4,000 That Seems to
Have Been Misplaced.
FROM MIR. T. It. KELLY.
State Treasurer Says He Has
Just Received $50 900.
Situation With Reference to
Delinquents Is Interesting.

1t is now up to the county treasurer
of Lyon county to explain where he
has been keeping the $4,000 of state
taxes which he had last January, but
which he has just sent to the state
treasury, and which he did not show
was in his hands in his April quar-
terly statement. He may be able to
make a good showing, but it is up
to him to do 50.
State Treasurer Kelly says he has Just
received a remittance Of about $52,-
900 from Lyon county, of which some
thing over $4,000 is state taxes for
1903. This is the first payment oil
1903 taxes Mr.. Kelly has received
from Lyon county.
This remittan nee was male last Fri
day." said Mr.. Kelly. And the state
ment was sworn to by tie county
treasurer on Friday. I did not re-
ceive any payment on Lyon county'5
taxes last January.
1T is true that have not reported
those counties delinquent in January
to the attorney general and do not
expect to do 50. I sent out 20 all
delinquent county treasurers last Jan
uary asking for stareme nts. do not
remember receiving any from those
treasurers which remained delinquent
AS a rule when treasurers reply to
my request for a statement of the
state money they have, it is by remit
ting it.
Il do not believe it is necessary
to take this matter to the attorney
general and therefore 1 did not do so.
presume if I had sent word to these
delinquent county treasurers that the
state was about out of funds and need
ed the money to keep from stamp
ing warrants not paid for want of
funds. that the money would have been

the money and did not make any

Remarkable Escapes.

Chicago, July 14.-The RESPONSE
bility for the wreck of the Sunday
school picnic train on the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois road, at Glenwood,
ILL.,, has not been fixed. Miraculous
escapes from death from the crash
came to light today. One of the most
striking was that of Alice Cherry, s
years old, who was sitting beside her
mother. Just before the collision oc-
Cured she leaned out of the window.
The force of the collision threw her
from the car. Her mother was killed.
After the xvreck the girl was found
climbing over a pile of debris in
search of her parent.
Another remarkable escape was that
of l. S. Ballou, who was acting as
ticket taker and was in the baggage
car. checking up when the crash came.
He escaped with slight injury, while
two others in the car were killed

sTERNE TAKES A TRIP.
Says That Dykes Should Be Built by
Benefit District.

County Commissioner Sterne made a
trip Wednesday to Rossville to view
the situation after the flood.
There is a chain of lakes, almost
continuous, between Topeka and
RossvilIe," said Mr.. Sterne. "They
vary in width. many of them being a
the flood, was five miles across. In
Rossville the water was up to a
wagon box in front of the hotel. If
any dyking is done in Shawnee coun-
ty, in my opinion, it must be done
by creating a benefit district the same
as when a sewer is built in the city.
If dykes are built for the protection
of North Topeka, and built by the
county, then Rossville, points along
Soldier creek, and up and down the
Kansas river and along the Wakarusa
will be in need of dykes. The only
way out is to form benefit districts
wherever dykes are wanted"

NEWMAN APPEALS TO STATE.
Shows How Too Much Taxes Are
Paid.

County Clerk Newman appeared be-
fore the state board of equalization
wednesday and requested that a proper
reduction be made for Shawnee coun-
~ IN the payment of state taxes.
shawnee county pays far more than
her Just share of state taxes. The as
sessed valuation of taxable property in
shawnee county is made on a basis of
so per cent of the actual valuation of
property. In other counties the assess
nents are on a % and SO 1-3 per- cent
basis. The assessed valuation in Shaw
nee county in 1903 was 1900, 600 while
Wyandotte county, with all the inn
mense packing interests, had an assess
ed valuation of but $1,000 900.
State Auditor Wells was disposed to
let Shawnee pay on the so per cent
basis but he could find no sympathy in
j. M. Nation, assistant auditor, who
owns property in Topeka which is as
sessed at IS per cent of the price he
paid for it.
