CHICKENS CURE INSANITY.
Patient Placed in Care of Poultry
House Regains His Mind.

Eldora, Iowa, July 23.-Given the
charge of the chicken raising industry
of the Clarinda Qowa) hospital for the
insane. a patient named William Miller
has now become completely cured and
discharged without a parole.
The patient was sent to Clarinda
about six years ago. He was violent
and manifested homicidal and suicidal
tendencies, having the hallucinatio
that some person was continually shad-
owing him to kill him. and in conse-
quence was regarded as one of the
worst cases at Clarinda and as an in
durable.
During one of his lucid intervals Mil
Ter was taken by an attendant to the
big poultry house, where are kept a
number of incubators. Miller begged
leave to have charge of the work of
looking after the incubators, and was
told that he could not be trusted and
that it was feared that he might make
his escape. The maniac promised to
work hard and not run away If permit
ted to remain with the chickens.
This happened three years ago, and
Miller became so attentive to the poul-
try and watched after his work so care
fully that for nearly two years he has
been the boss chicken raiser of the hos
pital, and now has been discharged as
cured Until he got interested in the
chicken business Miller was the crazi-
est man in the institution.

IN SEARCH OF OIL.
DriIlers Begin Work East of Topeka
Today.

This morning the drillers began
work on the land at Big Springs leased
by the Kaw Development company.
The plan is to drill for oil or gas.
The Kaw Development company
owns about $4,000 worth of land
leases, or a total of six hundred acres.
The company is capitalized for $780,
900.
The first we'll will be drilled to a
depth of not less than a thousand feet
or more if it is necessary to drill that
far. If oil or gas is not found in the
first well, several more will be drilled
on the property of the company.
Big Springs is about 8 miles south
east of Topeka and indications of oil
are found on the surface of the land.
Since gas has been found at Ottawa,
the incorporators of the Kaw De-
velopment company are enthusiastic
in their belief that oil or gas will be
found in this locality.
The officers and directors of the
company are: w. H. Davis, president;
E. w. Poindexter, vice president; H.
T. March, secretary; L. Biscoe, treas
urer; w. F. Schoch, w. d. kirkpatrick
and J. D. Norton.
Among the well known stockholders
in the company are Senator Henley of
Lawrence. Charles Wolff, John Elliott,

The STATE TAXES
Proportion Counties Must Pay
Under Assessment.
Shawnee Gets a Reduction of
Over $4,000.

The state board of equalization has
finished its work and has fixed the total
assessed valuation of the state at $379,-
916,741. This is about eight million dol
lars less than last year when the board
raised the valuation to 1887, ST., 259.
The valuation returned by the county
clerks this year was 1872, 6T3, S5S, SO that
the net increase by the board was only
81, 242,SS5 Last year the raise was over
20 million.
The amount which the board can
raise this year by taxation is limited by
law to two million dollars. Last year
the limit was two and a half million
and the board fixed the levy at GA mills.
This year the levy is reduced to 90
mills, and the amount raised is fixed
at 81, 967, 346.= This levy is e-tenths
of mill under what it was two years
ago.
The total appropriations for the fiscal
year just commencing are approx
mately two million dollars. The tax
levy alone will raise nearly all of this
amount, not counting what will be left
over from this year, nor what will come
into the state treasury from fees from
the various departments. These fees
will amount to or hundred thousand
dollars. The insurance department
alone turns in about $150000 a year.
The decrease in the amount of state
tax to be raised this year under last
is $513, 149. Shawnee county will pay
about $4,000 less this year than last.
Wyandotte will pay over $27. 900 less.
The state tax levied against each coun-
ty compared with that of last year, is
as follows:

ADD1CKs HAS A NEW BARREL.
His Followers Hear He Has Sold a
Gold Mine for $6,OOO,OOO.

Wilmington, Del, July 23.-Magis-
trate Francis S. Bradley, chairman of
the Union Republican County COM
mfttee, has. been in Claymont lately
comforting with National Committee
man John Edward Addicks about the
conduct of the coming campaign.
Since Mr.. BradIey's visits rumors have
been circulating that the Union Re
pubHcans will have a tremendous cam
paign fund, as it is reported that Mr..
Addfcks has recently sold a gold mine
for $4,000, 000.' - 81. sf7.--
These reports have made the Union
Republicans very happy. With Pres
ident Roosevelt on their side and a
big barrel to boot, they say they
will have no trouble winning out in
this state. For some time there have
been reports that the Union Republic
cans would be short of cash in the
lower counties, and that heavy assess
ments would be levied on all Union
Republican officeholders. Secretary of
State Caleb R. Layton, who has the
best-payfng Office in the Delaware, un-
der this plan, it is said, was to head
the contributions with a four-figured
sum.

GREAT TREE is TOPPING.
Giant of the MariDosa Grove in Cali
fornia Seems Doomed to Death.

Fresno, Cal, July 23.-The grizzly
giant of the Mariposa big tree grove is
doomed to death Whether old age or
disease is claiming it is not known, but
certain it is that the sap of the great
trunk is ceasing to flow and the tree is
beginning to topple.
Nathan Ellery, state highway COM
missioner. says that the tree is in such
rand decline that it cannot live longer
than a few months. He declares that
the tree is eighteen feet from its center
axis and that it is gradually sinking.
The only thing that can save the tree
from a sudden fall will be the use of
wire cables, and arrangements for these
have been made.
The tree is the best known one in the
state. It is pa feet high and 100 feet
in circumference.
