SMALLPOX RAGING
 IN VIOLENT FORM

Rogers, April 26. Smallpox is raging at Limedale, five miles southeast of Rogers. There are fifteen cases at the pesthouse there, and the malady is in the very worst form. Those afflicted with the disease are citizens of the local community, and en- ployes of the Rogers-White Lime Company, whose plant is located at that place. A strict quaran- tine is effected against anyone entering or leaving the village of Limedale, and it is hoped that the disease will soon be stamped out.

Is 1T RIGHT2

Is it right that property-owner should
lose S42O to let a dealer make 30 cents?
A dealer makes 30 cents more on four
teen gallons of ready-for-use paint, at
Sl.5O per gallon, than our agent does on
eight gallons of L. & NJ. paint and six
gallons of linseed oil, which make four
teen gallons of the best paint in the world
at s 20 per gallon; the property-owner
loses just $3.50. Is it right? 1t only re-
quires four gallons of L. NJ. and
three gallons of lrnseed oil to paint a

MURDERS WHITE TEACHER.
Youth of Fifteen Slabs American t
Death-ResuIt of a Feud.

MANILA, Nov. 30.-CIarence Allen,
principal of the public schools at Or
moe, was stabbed and killed this week
by a 15-year-old Filipino boy, a pupil
in the school and a member of a prom
inent family of that town. Aliens wife
who was a teacher In the school, was
slightly wounded. The killing occurred
at the school while Allen was assisting
MS wife to control the pupils in the
room Of which she had charge
The boy was arrested, but a native
justice Of the peace released him, fix
ing bail at a small amount. The pris.
oner has since been rearrested and is
held without bail
The American colony is aroused by
the murder, which is denounced as the
outcome of a feud in which the parents
of the boy murderer are leaders. Vice
Governor Ide today directed the local
authorities to prosecute the case with
out any delay.
It is unofficially reported that resi-
dents of the village had stoned the
schoolhouse.

riage certificate. The police, it is said
merely tossed the precious paper to
one side and laughed at them. AS a
special favor, however, they allowed
the little ones to be left in the mothers
care. Then, paying no attention to
their appeals. the officials sent Mrs.
Schmidt and the babies to her colony
and Schmidt to his, and there the un-
fortunate visitors have been forced to
remain.
Again and again has Schmidt re-
quested that he be allowed to leave
Russia, taking with him his wife and
children, but his demand has always
been refused The authorities declare
they do not believe the couple are mar
rid, and insist on their remaining IN
Russia and in separation.
The news reached Lincoln through
Rev. Gustav L. Hengleman, now of
McCook, Neb., who has received let
ter sent with mucn difficulty by Mr..
Schmidt, telling of their troubles and
begging for some advice or assistance
He at once obtained from the Lincoln
records a certified copy of the original
marriage license, and has taken the
matter up with the Russian consul.

at large-the field Serv1ce-aggreSdle
s193. 900. 900, an increase over last years
concentration of about $12,0OO,oOO. This
increase represents the normal growth
of the service based upon what the
postal authorities regard as the most
careful and conservative estimates.
Each succeeding year sees large in
crease in the business of the depart
ment.
The principal items in the increase
are the rural delivery service, rail-
way mail service, compensation to
postmasters and their clerks, and the
compensation of letter carriers.
For the maintenance of the rural
delivery service and it's proper extern
sion over $29,OOO,OOO will be required.
This is an increase of $3,600,000 over
the appropriation for the current year.
which in turn is over $5,OU0,000 more
than that of last year so that the pres
ent estimate is s1,4O0,OOo less than the
increase of the present over the pre-
ceding year.
That the extension of pneumatic tube
service is contemplated is shown by
the fact that the estimate carries
1920, 900 more than the current appro-
priation.
The deficit for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1895, was s14,572,5s4. This
amount, the difference between the ex-
penditures and the revenues of the de-
partment, it is officially announced,
may be said to represent the actual
cost of the postal service to the peo-
pie"
If recent calculations are as accurate
as they have been in the past they af-
ford good reason for believing that the
deficit for the year ending June 80,
1906 will be considerably less. 1t is
an interesting fact that the total reve-
nue. for the fiscal year 1905 exceeded
the total expenditures for the fiscal
year 1904, by nearly 100000.

TO BE RETAINED.
Lincoln Minister Receives Startling
News From Russia.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov 3O.-If Mr.
and Mrs. George Schmidt of Lincoln
ever succeed in making their escape
from Russia they declare they will
never again stir out of the United
States as long as they live. According
to a report received here, the two are
being forcibly detained in separate col
onies in Russia. The matter is being
investigated and unless it is soon ad-
justed it will probably be taken up by
Washington, as Schmidt is an AmerI-
can citizen.
Years ago George Schmidt came to
America from Russia. A few years la
ter Lydia Miller came over. In the
course of time they met here and were
married. They saved money, and about
a year ago they determined to visit
their fatnerland, Russia. When they
arrived the national police took them
in hand

Michigan Makes Fight to Collect Ad
Valorem Tax.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Nov. 2O.-"Tne
state has been active in pushing its
case against the railroads for the col
lection Of the ad valorem tax on cor
porations. The deferred taxes for the
past four years and the accrued inter-
est on the whole amount arg at stake
in the pending suit. In the event of a
favorable decision in the United States
supreme court, where the cases are
now docketed for trial on appeal, more
than 100000 will be added to the
primary school fund at one time"
Governor Fred M. Warner made
this statement in an interview here
while passing through the city en-
route to the copper region for a few
days visit.
"The effect of this suit on the flu
ture of the primary school fund is also
involved continued the state execu-
tive, "as the collection of a corpora
ton tax on an ad valorem basis will
add about one-third more than is now
received to the primary school fund
every year. The attack on the law by
the twenty-six railroads of the state
affected by it is made on the ground
that the act is discrin1inative against
them, and therefore unconstitutional.
Primary Funds Ps.y Salaries.
Three hundred school districts in
the state now receive in primary
school money (he chief source of
which is railroad taxes) more than thew
pay in salaries to teachers, and thirty
three of the eignty-three counties in
the state receive more from the pri-
mary fund this year than they pain in
state taxes. Alpena and Huron each
had an excess Of more than $4,000, and
the total excess in the tnirtythree
counties amounted to s151,936.4S.
"The annual expense of maintain
ing the public schools Of Michigan is
something over $1O,00O,0OO, of which
S5,6OO,00O is paid in teachers wages.
The state disbursed last year s2,341,-
343.1O from the primary fund. which
went entirely for the payment of the
teachers salaries as at present the law
restricts the use of the money to that
purpose entirely"
