Sherin's Report.

Sheriff James Gould has finished
his work of collecting the taxes fer
1904 and has filed his report with
the county judge This report has
been checked up by the county clerk,
and it is found that the books in the
sheriff's Office and clerks ciice bal
ance to cent. This shows that the
sheriffs report !. is correct in every
respect. The report is yet to be
checked up and approved by Judge
Kerwin.
The report shows that the people
of Jefferson county pay toxes to the
amount of $24S,341.34. OF this amount
$64,53941 was collected for the state,
while the balance will be used in the
county. The road tax is $33,376S0,
which means that the county Judge
will have a neat fund with which to
improve the roads in the county and
the streets in the city.
The total number of poll tax re.
ceipts issued was 1883, which is less
than the number issued last year, ow-
ing to the big overflow, which made
it hard for the people in certain dis
tricts to pay. The total taxes COL
lected for 1904 is about $4,000 mere
than the taxes of 1908, due to the fact
that about $4,000 was collected as
back taxes from the railroads under
the compromise.
The report is as follows:

princes of Europe, the daughters of the reigning families being of royal ranl, and dignity. But these ornamental. spouse providing courts cost the Ger man taxpayer goOdly sums of money. Let us look at the incomes received by the petty rulers, The king of Bavaria yearly is given the tidy sum of s1. 50O,- O0o, and the ruler of Saxony has an in- come of $l,000,0 GOO; the king of Wur- temberg enjoys an annual income of $500 GOO; the ruler of the grand duchy of Baden of HeSse, of Mecklenburg- Schwerin, of Saxe- Weimar and of An bait each has an income somewhere be- tween $250,00o and s300,00O a year; in- comes varying from $50 900 to S2o0 GOO fall to the lot of SaXe- -Altenburg. The toy manarchs cost Germany over se,00o 00o year. and as the foreign correspondent of the Chicago Tribune calls 10 our attention: "In addition to the monarchs it must be remembered that there are 20 prime ministers and ever hundred cabinet ministers. all drawing salaries from the public reye- nues for their services to the different states. There are 20 royal households. with several hundred highly salaried ornamental officials, and IS parlia- ments, the members of which receive payment from the public eXchequers.
 These independent monarchies which to-day seem so absurd, date back u the period when central Europe was dotted With small feudal states each moderns smile al anyone being king" of a people numbering but a couple of million, like the king of Wurtemberg. or even of SO small a number of sub- jects as the king of Bavaria. he the proud ruler of some 6.000. .00o souls. The smallest German state is the principality of Schaumamburg- Lippe. whose whole population is but 10000. Think of a prime minister and coun- Gil of state for this toy realm.
 To the casual observer it would seem that the public generally never hears Of the lesser German monarchs save when one of them goes mad. or gets married, or some member of the royal family runs away with her haird resser. or tutor or somebody of low degree. And, if the truth be told, these many German courts have been the hot-bed of scandals a.d intrigues. few there are but there hangs over them unsav- ory stories. stories Of human follies and fraites

 STRANGE DRAMA
GREAT WORK OF ART ALMOST
 LEADS TO TRAGEDY.
BATTLE BESIDE DEATHBED
Celebrated Canvas Results in Pres cut of Sword from Mikado Which Nearly Causes Destruction
 of Two Men.

Chicago.-in the soft tones and mel low shadings of painting just hung al the Art Institute lies concealed 2 tragedy as strange as fiction. In ere ating the painting-its formal title k
 Niko Gate to the Royal Tombs''- the artist, not unlike Frankenstein. brought into being thing that almost led To his own destruction.
 The first act of the weird drama was laid in Japan, where the mikado. a. an evidence of his appreciation of the work Of John Devereux York. of Chi caSo, who painted the "Nfko Gate ]" presented the artist with sword N hieh for centuries had been an heir loom of the imperial family. Next the scene shifted 10 Chicago. where tho artist attempted 10 kill himself at the bedside of his dying mother with the selfsame blade. In struggle to dis arm him his uncle was wounded al most t0 death.
 The curtain scene was in St. Luke S hospital. where York. no longer in a suicidal mood. spent night and day at the bedside of the wounded uncle. By tender nursing the patient was saved. The uncle is Holger de Roode, well-known insurance man.
 The revelation of the tragedy did not become known until the other night. though the action was several weeks ago The occasion was when MT. York's mother. Mrs. E. J. T. Brooke, lay dying at her home. Phy- slcians said she could not recover. Mir. York. son by former marriage, had watched at her bedside constantly for week. and when the doctors an nounced that she must die. he deter mined to die with her.

GERMAN EMPEROR SAID TO BE JEALOUS OF PETTY RULERS.
They Cost the Country Considerable Money-A Score Of Them-Re- quire Courts and Prime Min
 isters and Palaces

The German emperor very much wants to be the whole thing; or, in more ChesteTfeldlan phrase. Kaiser Wilhelm's latest and most startling ambition is said to be that of forming blmself into an imperial unity by grad aally wiping out the expensive toy mon archs Of the other German states who try 10 compete with him in royal dig pity, thus transferring Germany into one united country with one central ized admins ratiye system Surely, 'one centralized admins .rative sys- tenn has about i, more srgf estion of nobility. of kipgly dignity than the first form used-but We doubt if it so accurately expresses the fact.

 How many of them are there. with whom does William IT, have to divide honors and emolumvnts? Germany IS burdehed with full score of petty monarchs, each independent in bis way. Some of the states are infinites- nal, but the dignitaries and expenses are not so to be described Among the toy monarehs' are three kings, six grand dukes, four dukes and seven reigning princes
