state tax which was RENTED was

high schools, for the graded schools.
for the university, the normal schools
and the capitol building fund.
This is the second time in the his
tory of the state that there has been
such a complete. remittance of the
state tax. In renting it, the state of
ficials were careful not to impair in
any way the general fund, or to leave
the state without sufficient funds to
meet any emergency which may arise
in government OF the same time, they
provided literally for all of the neces-
sary expenses.
On Oct. l the balance in the general
fund was $3.50. 59964.
When the state tax was RENTED last
year for the current year, it was not
believed that it would be possible to
remit the state tax again for another
year, but all departments of the state
government have been so exacting,
and the ordinary revenues have been
so increased over what they were un-
der former administrations. that by the
practice of strict economy and by Sc
curing to the state every dollar DUE
this is again possible, and the people
of the state are again given the bene-
fit of not having to pay 81 for any state
tax.
The school-tax levy for 1905 win
amount to s1,OS9.9SS. This is the
amount which is to be raised by tax
alton. In addition, there is 100000
which is taken from the general fund
to be paid for the support of the COM
mon schools, making a total of $780,
9SS which will be distributed among
the various counties of the state for
support of their various schools.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Nov. 1S.-With
every lot sold and occupied in the
Floyd cemetery, the burial ground of
Sioux City for forty years, surviving
relatives have been Mortified to learn
that through series of errors, made
ten years ago, the records credit the
wrong lot to'about 800 owners.
The discovery has been followed by
wholesale opening of graves and
over 200 bodies have been taken out
for Identification
Many persons have come long dis
tances to identify remains that have
crumbled almost to dust Sexton Har-
mon has had charge of the gruesome
work and has identified and reburied
all but 100 bodies. Many heartrending
experiences have marked the investi-
cation of remains by relatives, and
many bodies buried in family plots
cannot be found. Whether this is part
of the chain of mistakes or the work

he counted heads each day. This
morning, after standing guard all night

dawn. He rushed toward the Enclosure

up in the air. Jones jumped and
caught the chicken by the leg.
When he pulled it down he found
a fishline with baited hook fast in the
chickens crop. Jones rushed behind

gloom.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 1S.-The gov

treasurer, acting as state board for
the assessment of taxes, RENTED all
of the state taxes for 1905. so that
there will be no tax levied in that
year for the support of any of the state

The only tax which will be levied

NECESSITY FOR A SECOND DRY
DOCK AT BREMERTON is
APPARENT.
An Effort Will Be Made to Get Big
Appropriation From the Next
Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Nov. 10
Especial Correspondence navy
department will redouble its EFFORTS
during the coming session of congress
to secure an appropriation for new
dry dock at the Puget Sound navy
ward. The necessity for second dock
at this yard was first pointed out in the
reports of the department one year ago.
1t was then shown that the growth OF
the ward, and the steady Increase IN
the amount of repair work being done
there would soon demand additional
docking facilities. 1t will be but very
few years before the present dock,
which is but moderate size, will be
found totally inadequate, and INSULT
cieht. When extensions now under way
have been completed the Puget Sound
navy yard will be able to handle more
work than can be accommodated by it's
present dock and wharves. That is why
Chief Constructor Caps, in his an
nual report to the secretary of the
navy, strongly recommends an appro-
priation for an additional dock to be
Immediately constructed.

The Girl Remained.

Mrs. Smith. however, offered counter
inducements. Then the girl agreed to
remain for a time.
A little later in the afternoon Mrs.
Biddle telephoned again. Mrs. Smith
answered the call, and the electricity
on the wire for a time took a back
seat at the sight of the sparks that
flew between Bryn Mawr and Philadel-
phia. Mrs. Smith asked Mrs. Biddle if
in tempting the girl to leave her place
and explained she could not let the
girl leave at once.
Mrs. Biddle replied that she wanted
the girl at once and that was all there
was about it.
Mrs. Biddle finally induced the maid
to visit her that evening, and the girl
told Mrs Smith that she had been
urged to remain. Mrs. Smith %tOld the
story of the earlier events of the strug-
gle for the maid as foregoing, and
continued:
"All this was simply outrageous, and
told Mrs. Biddle SO in the plainest
kind of words. Some months before
Mrs. Biddle had enticed a cook away
from a dear friend of mine, and
thought it was time a stop was put to

LOWER COURT SUSTAINED.
Question of Damages Properly Sub
nitted to the Jury.

mitted to the Jury.
OLYMPIA, Nov 1S.-The supreme
court has affirmed the proceedings of
the superior court in the case of Jacob
Swope, plaintiff VS.. the City of Seattle
ct al defendants.
The action came to the supreme
court on a writ of certiorari. Swope
was the owner of lots 13 and IA, block
90, Brooklyn addition to Seattle, and
the city, in grading street adjoining
the property, graded down the lots to
prevent land slides upon the street.
While the work was in progress Swope
brought suit to enjoin the city. The
case came up for trial and upon appli
cation of Swope a jury was empan-
elled In the progress of the trial, the
question of damages to the property
was submitted to the jury over the OBJ
jections of Swope, and a verdict Of
500 was rendered over and above the
benefits accrued.
The attorneys for SwOpe assigned
on appeal as the principal error of the
lower court, the submission of the
question of damages, claiming that
such matter could only be submitted
on a condemnation suit brought by the
city.
The supreme court holds to the view
of the lower court that the question
was promptly submitted and affirms
the proceedings.

Should be Substantial.

Dry docks are expensive necessities.
1t has been discovered that in view of
the necessarily heavy expense of con-
struction and maintnance, that it is
real economy to build these great
docks of the most substantial material
in the first place, and thereby reduce
the subsequent outlay in repairs. Ma
sonry docks have proven the most sub
stantial; therefore, masonry dock is
asked for at Puget Sound. Roughly es-
timated, such dock would cost ST.
100000, but it is believed that that ex-
penditure would be fully justified on
Puget Sound.
A great deal will depend upon tn.
interest shown in this gigantic project
by the members of the Washington
congressional delegation. If the dele
cation unites and makes an earnest

Stomach Paralysis

dyspepsia or Indigestion, properly
named, is Paralysis of the Stomach.
When you have water-brash, feel
sick at the stomach, have gas or wind
on it, or feel as though you had a ball
or heavy weight in the pit of the
stomach after eating, and the nerves
and muscles Of that organ cease to
act and digest your food, that STOP
page in the process of digestion, to
call it properly, is Paralysis of the
Stomach, and should be treated as
such. 1t is perfect folly to assist the
stomach with dyspepsia remedies and
stlmulants to dissolve the undigested
1000. You may get relief, but at the
next meal you suffer again. The
proper treatment is to build up the
worn out muscles and nerves of the
stomach so that it can do it's own
work without assistance, and not only
digest the food you eat to-day but to-
morrow and forever after; as is done.

Wrote Warm Letter.

Il wrote Mr.. Biddle letter-a pref
ty warm letter. The first thing he did
was to call me up by telephone and
tell me he had placed the letter in the
hands of an attorney.
Il just laughed. Well, I thought
the matter was going to rest for
while, but that afternoon, while I was
giving a bridge whist party to a num-
Der of woman friends, the Drexel Bid
dies drove up and took the maid away
with them. 1t was pretty exciting and
of course ali my friends wished to
them.
For my part it is not so much the
in which the capture of the maid was
carried through that made me angry.
There should be law against such
stirring up of discomfort. In France
and Germany Mrs. Biddle could not
have done such thing
Mrs. Biddle laughed at the alleged
Kidnapping. She said: THAT maid had
worked for me for seven years. I let
her go for time while 1 was in Eu-
| rope, with the understanding that
| when 1 returned she was to come to

AWFUL BATTLE is ON WITH
ELIZABETH DoueHERTY, THE
cASUS BELL.
Society Fair Sex of Philadelphia Are
at War Over Possession Of
Of Maid.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1S.-Nothing
less than The Hague court of arbitra-
ton will bring peace to the warning
households of a. J. Drexel Biddle and
w. Hinckle Smith, according to the
society view of the present awful bat
tie that is raging over Elizabeth
Dougherty, maid, first employed by
Mrs. Biddle, then by Mrs. Smith, and
now by the Biddles. Both families
give out their story.
The latest news is that Mrs Biddle
still holds the disputed maid, but is
being outflanked by force of society
women, who are fighting desperately
for fear their maids may be taken.
Mrs. Smith declares that not long
ago Mrs. Biddle made a similar raid
and secured a cook from another fash
ionable woman.
This has added to the apprehension
of society leaders.
According to Mrs. Smith, until last
Monday she had maid by whom she
set great store. One day last week the
Smiths telephone rang and Mrs. Smith
was asked if the maid could come to
the phone. Mrs. Biddle, it is claimed,
made the phone call and asked the
girl if she would not leave Mrs. Smith
and come to her. The maid agreed to
leave

Want the Largest.

Want the Largest.
There are but few dry docks in the
world of dimensions sufficiently great
to accommodate two vessels. 1t is
such dock that is wanted at Puget
Sound. There is a growing demand for
a mammoth dock on the Pacific coast,
a dock sufficiently large to accommo-
date the immense steamers Minnesota
and Dakota, that are soon to be put
on the Puget Sound Orient run. It is
contemplated that in time naval ves-
sells will assume even greater proper
tions than at present; if so they will
require a larger dock than the Pacific
coast now affords. San Francisco is not
the place for such a dock; vessels ex-
perience difficulty in reaching the pres
emf medium sized dock at that navy
yard. There is no possibility of dock
being built on the Columbia river;
remaining where a large dock can be
built
A monster dock, the equal of any in
the world is recommended for Puget
Sound, not alone in order that the
largest ships plying the Pacific ocean
may be locked there, but that in times
of emergency two moderate sized YES
sells may be locked simultaneously,
thus facilitating rapid repairs. The adj
vantage of being able to dock two
vessels in one dock has been shown on
the Atlantic coast, where an immense
double track dock is filled the major
norton of tho time
