BOARD OF EQUALIZATION QUITS.
Now Too Late to Complain About
Personal Property Assessment

The Shawnee county board Of equaH-
cation has adjourned and it is now too
late for complaints to be made about
the assessed valuation of property in
Shawnee county.
The board decided that the assess
ments on the Touring mills, on the To .
peka City railway, the Continental
creamery, should remain as the asses
sors returned them. The question of
the assessments of the knights & La
dies of Security reserve fund and Of the
building and loan companies will be de-
cided later.
The bankers. who made some com
plant to the members of the board be-
fore the session did not appear and
made no complaint on the assessment
of the banks and the assessments made
will stand.
The city railway objected to the as
sessed valuation of the Vinewood, Oak
land and other lines outside Of the
city on a total of $4,000, but the com
missioners decided not to change it.

out Peruna in the house. Mrs. Jes-
sic Cotton.
Peruna cures all such cases of dys-
pepsia. simply because 1t cures ca
tarrh wherever located The reason
so many cases of dyspepsia suffer on
and on without any relief, trying this
medicine and that medicine, is that
these conditions are not recognized as
catarrh of the stomach.
Any one suffering from dyspepsia,
having tried the ordinary remedies
without relief, would be safe to as
sumo that their case is one Of catarrh
of the stomach and should at once
begin a course of Peruna- Peruna Is
sure to cure these cases. It never
fails.
We have on file many thousand tes-
timonials like the ones given above.

THE OLD CITY DUMP ROW.
1t Is Being Revived With Variations
Once More

Warm weather is stirring up the old
city dump row The vast quantity Of
refuse which has been piled on the
river bank just outside of the city
limits on the Chase road toward Oak
land is beginning to send UP its sum-
mer incense, and as a result the peo-
pie in the vicinity are "incensed-'
In past years, the health depart
ment has prohibited dumping over the
river bank at this point. but it is now
claimed that the health department
has no jurisdiction over the portion
of the bank where the dumping is be-
ing done. because it is outside of the
city The law gives the board juris-
diction for five miles on all sides of
the city.
A meeting of the health and sani-
tation committee of the city council
is soon to be held at which the re-
quest from G. II. Bowman and w. S.
Evans for a garbage franchise will be
considered. The garbage work of the
city is at present controlled by W. S.
Osborn. Osborn uses the old crema-
tory for burning up dead animals, and
other refuse is washed out into the
river through a pipe. There has been
no complaint so far on the way Os-
born has been doing the work. If the
city has to dump its garbage into the
river. Osborn is a good man to do the
business. What the city needs, how
ever, is some sort of effective garbage
plant for destroying all the city's
refuse.

GIVEN GRAND CROSS.
Ambassador Porter Recipient of High
Honor From France.

Paris, June 1S.-President Loubet
has conferred upon the American am
bassador, General Porter, the grand
cross of the Legion of Honor, which
is the highest grade of that historic
order.
1t is an honor rarely bestowed,
even on chiefs of state and ambassa-
doris, and it is the first time it has
ever been offered to a representative
of America. AS under the provision
of the constitution, the acceptance of
any mark of distinction from a for
eign country, even from a republic,
requires the approval of congress-
final action in the matter will await
the authorization of that body.
Foreign Minister Delcasse called at
the am baSSadOr'S today and PERSONAL
~ presented him with the superb in
sigma of the grand cross. This con-
sists of a wide silk band worn across
the breast having an enameIIed gold
cross on the hip, with an elaborate
silver star to be worn on the right
breast. NJ. Delcasse accompanied the
of the high personal esteem which NJ
LOubet and himself felt toward the
American republic.
The grand cross is the highest of
the five grades of the Legion Of
Honor. These consist, first of the
mander, fourth grand officer, and
NTH grand cross. The latter is the
grade worn by NJ. LOubet and has
been conferred only a few times in
recent years. That the American
AMBASSADOR should have been singled
out for this notable honor is consid-
cred to be personal tribute to him
and another evidence of the cordial
sentiments of the French government
towards America. aal

CONTESTS SETTLED.
LafoIIette Delegates From Wisconsin
Lose Their Fight.

Chicago, July 1S.-By unanimous
vote the Republican national commit
tee decided to seat deIegates-at-large
from Wisconsin who are members of
the "stalwart'' faction. headed by L.
S. Senators John c. Spooner and Jos.

While the contest is practically set
tied so far as the national convention

held in Wisconsin was entitled to
have the names of its nominees for
state officers placed on the official
ballot under the regular party name
The stalWart legates-at-large who
were seated are Senator John c.
Spooner, Senator Jos. v Quarles,
Congressman Jos. w Babcock, and
Emil Baensch.
After the national committee had
decided against the supporters of the
governor from Wisconsin, the leaders
of the Lafollette side announced their
determination to carry the fight to the
end and it is prOba Bile in spite of the
decision of the committeeman, that
the dispute will again be fought out
before the committee on credentials
on the floor of the national conven-
ton.
Missouri and Texas contests were
decided, in the latter state the Lyon
faction winning the delegates at
large.
The committee affirmed the report
of the subcommittee on the selection
of temporary officers for the conven-
ton. These will be Charles w. john
son. of Minneapolis, secretary; John
P. Malloy. of Ohio. first assistant sec
reary; Elfhu Root, temporary chair
man: VIM +. Stone, sergeant-at-
arms; David c. Owens, Milwaukee,
first assistant ergeant-at-arms.
long list of minor employees, such
as deorkeepers, reading clerks and
pages, was adopted by the sub-com-
mittee. A resolution was passed to
the effect that the members of the
Republican national committee from
all the states and territories and the
District of Columbia are instructed to
call a meeting of their respective
delegations for a time not later than
the evening of Monday, June 90. for

NOT SO MANY ACRES.
Shawnee County Real Estate Appears
to Be Disappearing.

1t might seem strange that in max
ing up the tax rolls of Shawnee county
every year that the number of acres
of property in the townships subject
to taxation varies. but such is the
case.
1t doesn't happen that the land
actually changes and grows larger or
smaller, but slight errors ard changes
in the records are responsible. Some
one who owns a piece of land has
called it ten acres for a good many
years and some way he discovers that
he had only five-eighths acres or he
had 10 and three-eighths acres. The
changes are made on the tax rolls and
as a result the number of acres for
taxation change every time an assess
ment is made. This years the records
show 456 acres less in the townships
than last year. The reports of acres
taxable for the two years were as

NEWMAN TO LOOK IT UP.
County Clerk on Track of Property
That Escaped Taxation.

AOuAly NACIA OAA VI LEOpCEAy
That Escaped Taxation.
The board of county commissioners
has decided to have County Clerk New
man look up property in Shawnee
county which has escaped taxation and
to place it on the tax rolls subject to
taxation this year. Mr.. Newman has
been instructed to begin at once.
1t is generally believed that a large
amount of personal property escapes
taxation every year. Last year the
county commissioners started an agita-
ton which resulted in 500, 900 worth of
personal property which had escaped
taxation being placed on the tax rolls.
The taxes resulting from this paid into
the county treasury amounted to $780,
900.
The commissioners believe that an
amount equal to that found last year
has escaped taxation this year and the
commissioners want the revenue from
it. According to the law a penalty of
50 per cent can be placed on all proper
ty subject to taxation which has not
been reported to the assessors.
In Wyandotte county last year the
commissioners decided to have the
county clerk hunt up taxes which had
escaped taxation and more than ST.
600. 900 valuation was added to the tax
rolls.
County Clerk Newman will at once
begin work and will prepare list for
the board to review.

NO DISTURBANCE.
Follows the Assassination of Governor
General of Finland.

assassination of Governor General
BobriSoff, nor do the authorities be-
Eeve that there is danger of any dem
onstration of sympathy with the act
of Schaumann.
memorial service for General Bob
rikoff, governor general of Finland,
was held at the ministry of the in
terror today.
Much interest is manifested in the
political results of General Bobrikoff's
assassination, and some of the Finnish
senators have arrived here for the
purpose of considering the subject
with the authorities. The papers con-
tinue to discuss the matter with great
earnestness, with the exception of the
Svet counseling against harsh meas
ures.
The Viedomostf strongly insists
that the Finnish nation should not
be held responsible for the crime, and
that repressive measures would not
only initiate against the situation in
Finland, but prejudice the interests
of the whole empire. THE necessity
for equal, friendly and loving rela-
lions toward all nationalities under
the empire the Viedomosti says sis
one of the plain teachings of history"
The Novoe Vryema says: 1.-The
Finnish nation at heart realizes that
Russia is the best guardian of it's in
terests- General Bobrikoff's muir
derer belongs to a class in Finland
which is always striving to create an
oligarchy. The Finnish aristocracy
should cease, once for all, to promote
agitation, for Finland enjoys a degree
of autonomy never known under
Swedish rule
