Best Rock in the State.

The quarry known as the Kes-
terson quarry near Jackson, now
owned by W. w. Taylor & Son,
contains the best lime stone rock
in Missouri. 1t is the best from
three standpoints-crus hing
strength, porosity and absorption
qualities. Its crushing strength
is q, 1888 pounds on bed, 25,577
pounds on e6ge; porosity, .32
per cent; and absorption, .12 per
cent.
The highest crushing strength
of any other in the state is
24,50O pounds on bed, and the
bed crushing strength of the
much talked Carthage limestone
rock has crushing strength of
1000 pounds, while that ,of the
Taylor quarry is 27, 1873 pounds.
The least porosity of any other
stone is 1888 per cent, and the
least absorption power is 5.62 per
cent.
So you see from these figures,
and they are taken from the state
geology record, Vol. II, COM
piled by f. R. Buckley, that the
rock of the Taylor quarry has
crushing strength of more than
$500 pounds over the best rock of
other quarries, and porosity of
1902 per cent better than any
other, and absorption $50 per
cent better than any other.
This is the rock that should be
used in the new court house. 1t
is home rock and the best in the
state. We hope the county court
will carefully investigate this
rock and satisfy themselves as to
what is claimed for it.

There is great deal of new wort

COMPLAINTS CAUSED
BY HABITS OF LIVING-EvERY
CITY VISITED BY CHARAC-
TERISTiC APPLETON,
SAYS PAYNE.

OF the thousands of people who
have called on Payne and his assist
ants in this city, 1t is said that a ma
jority was suffering with stomach
troubles in different forms.
Payne explained that in each city
visited, some particular ailment is
prevalent. In some parts OF the coun.
try many are afflicted with rheuma
tism, while in other places, catarrh
and liver and kidney disorders cause
most Of the suffering. But in Padu
cab it is said that II Is stomach
trouble that claims many victim q.
The Affections that are common to
different parts of the country Pawn.
explained, are due to climatic condi.
tons and the peoples habits of liv-
ing.
During Payne's visit in this city
there were hundreds of callers who
told about what they had suffered be
cause of stomach trouble.
OF the stories told by those who
called yesterday the statement made
by John Meyer will give an idea of
the work that the Paynes remedies
are accomplishing:
81 have been suffering for some
time with stomach trouble. viii,
gradually grew worse. felt weak
and nervous and had coated
tongue and bad taste in my mouth
most of the time. frequently
woke up in the morning after TOSSING
most of the night feeling more tire
than when I went to bed. A fe,'
days ago | decided to try the Payne
remedies and bought some of tho
New Discovery. MY Improvement
began almost with the first dose and
now | feel better than | have for
years.
Another Interesting story was told
by Henry Korb, who said: For a
number OF years | had been troubled
with rheumatism and my joints were
swollen and painful had tried
many remedies and received little
benefit. Then bought some of the
Payne preparations and almost as
soon as began to'use the medicine
| was relieved. Within two weeks
the swelling was gone and the pain
had left me and I feel better than I
had for a long while"
Payne's remedies can be obtained
at all hours at Smith q Nagel's, Attn
and Broadway.

A GOOD DECISION.

The attitude of federal court in re-
spect to its jurisdiction in certain
classes of damage suits will do a
great deal towards breaking up the
pernicious and unjust practice OF
preying on corporations, particularly
the railroads. The main reason for
wanting to keep such cases out of
federal court is that they are usually
settled there on their merits and
without any needless delay. In state
courts such cases are often-too Of
ten-decided by juries of ignorant
men whose prejudices are easily
worked on by a slick lawyer. Every
citizen should be equal under the
law, but because railroad has mon
ey and every hand is against it when
it comes to gouging 1t. is no reason 1t
should be perpetually MIXED for the
benefit of lawyers and people not en-
titled to damages. When a person is
entitled to damages from railroad,
he or she usually gets a fair settle
ment If he or she wants it, without
having to take it into court Not al
ways, ii is true, but where one case
is taken into court many are settled
outside the courts without the pub
lies ever hearing of them.

along this line, says:
''The way psople do bleed railroads

none Of them seriously, However, ana
yet the company has paid out on CON-
promises between $1,000 and s10,-
600 and suits aggregating $65, 900
have BEEN filed. One man who claim
ed that he was seriously hurt would
have gotten a big compromise had
not a detective been gwen the case.
He began to investigate and was soon
in possession of information that the
man was not in the wreck at all, but
but in neighboring town at the

was made with him then by an at

The salary of city physician or
health officer may be saved by the
general council by combining the two
Offices. 1t will make no difference TO
the taxpayers what the official is call
ed. The law gives the general council
the power to define the duties of city
officials, and it may simply add those
of city physician to the duties OF
health officer, and have no city ply
stefan. The statutes require the APP
polntment of health officer but they
do not define or limit his duties.

ment made by Judge Morton tina,
''the question of taxation of personal
property presents to many the ques-
ton of poverty or perjury" One
writer gives the following instance,
which, while an extreme case, can
well be imagined as having taken
place in Lexington. He says:
individual cases of extraordinary
hardship can be cited. and the an
swer is sometimes made that Hard
cases make bad law But such a
case OF oppression as that narrated
in the second report of the Wells
commission ought not to happen un-
der any law. A farmer and his wife
who were too old to till Their farm
sold IL for five thousand dollars, and
allowed the purchase money to re-
main in the form of a mortgage with
the expectation of living on the in
terest. The town being very small,
the fact OF the sale and the consid-
GRAFTON became known to everyone,
and assessors were compelled in OPP
position to Their usual practice to
tax the old man to the full amount
of the mortgage as personal proper
ty.- But the year in which this was
done happened to be year in which
the town anxious to avoid a draft
of men for the army, to which the
old man was not liable, put up the
rate OF taxtion to more than the le-
gal rate of interest, in order to pro-
vide sufllc ent money to purchase re-
cruits. The result was that the OLD
man and his wife we're Obliged to 60
out to days work in order to pay the
balance of taxation and support
themselves"
Had that man choice which would
he have chosen, poverty or perjury?

NORMAL SCHOOL
May BE Established At Frankfort for
State Teachers.

Frankfort. KY, Nov. 22.--State
supt. James II. Fuqua has gone to
Nashville, to attend the annual meet
ing of the Southern Educational AS
ISOLATION.
Prof. Fuqua Is putting the finish
ing touches on his biennial report TO
the general assembly. 1t will contain
a strong recommendation for an APP
preparation and provision for the es-
tablishment of normal school here
at the capital for teachers, and in this
recommendation the superintendent
Will have the earnest backing and
support of the State Educational AS
ISOLATION. 1t has been suggested that
the old capitol buildings be devoted
to this purpose, and there is a strong
sentiment among Frankfort people
that these buildings be so used after
the new capitol is opened to the state
officials.
The superintendent report will
point out the necessity of the estab-
lishment of one or two normal
schools in the state. Schools have
been closed in country districts be-
cause of the lack of competent teach
ers and yearly teachers are brought
in from adjoining states to teach in
The common and graded schools. Ma
ny well known educators will come to
Frankfort during the approaching
session of the assembly and urge ac-
ton in this matter.

MORE ABOUT TAXATION.

The Lexington Herald puts the
question rather bluntly when 1t says
that Kentucky's system of taxation
gives many men their choice be-
tween poverty and perjury. The Her
aid is doing good work to educate the
people up to realization of the inn
portance of the question of taxation,
and its views seem to be sound and
reasonable.
That there is in this state a serious
problem concerning taxation no
thoughtful person will deny, it says.
The very existence of this committee
ton revenue and taxation) is at once
an evidence of that fact and hope
full indication for the future. When
such a select body of our legislature
VIII travel over the state. paying
their own expenses (for that is what
the members of this committee are
doing), with the view of ascertain
ing the needs of the various sections
OF the state in the matter of taxa
ton. and of comforting with students
OF the question as to the best mode
of administering relief, the lover of
good government may take heart.
Continuing: We do not now at
tempt to give a synopsis of the vari-
Gus suggestions made before the
committee. We will do that later.
unless the gentlemen who made
those suggestions will be kind enough
to furnish The Herald with a written
statement of them, which we will be
glad to publish in full We desire
now simply to call attention to a
striking epitomizing of the existing
situation made by Judge J. r.. Nor
ton in his talk before the committee.
He reviewed the conditions relating
TO the taxation of intangible person
al property, such as money, stocks,
mortgages and notes, as they are to
be found in this community. He
pointed out the well-known fact that
the highest class Of security can COM
mani the use of money at an interest
rate of 3 per cent per annum, and
caforring to the imposition OF tax,
sor state, county and city purposes,
aggregating 2.70 per cent, which
must be paid If paid at all, out OF
this fixed rate OF Interest, said that
after careful reflection he had r ach-
ed the conclusion that the issue to be
decided by the owner of such prop
erty when assessment day came was
narrowed to a choice between power
ty or perjury.
We content ourselves this morning
with commencing to the careful con-
slderation of our readers this strik-
ing view of the question by one OF
our foremost lawyers. and With ask
ingthem N they are satisfied with con-
ditions which render perjury tine only

cumstances.
