Miss Laura {. Blender

This woman received q single treatment
which was followed by almost miraculous
results. The remarkable story Is best
told In her own words:
~ was suffering from stomach trouble,
heart trouble and nervousness, "she said,
~ couldn't sleep at all. | had doctored
two years aud was getting worse all The
time. was misery to myself and to
my husband, too. Now, after single
treatment, Cna'tge enough sleep and
am better than | have been in years
and have done more work than | don t
know when. Before. | couldn't Sto0p
oyer without 1t smothering me, now
haven't the least trouble that way. My
stomach was cold and bloated, but now
st is warm and reduced fully one half In
size. My nervousness is pretty near all
gone. The extreme soreness in my
stomach is about gone, and haye scarce.
ly had a touch of neuralgia In my head
and eyes since week ago."
"The improvement In Mrs. Paulk's
condition Is simply Marvellous Mr..
Paulk chlmed in, "LsSt week when she
came here, she could scarcely climb the
stairs and now she can run up stairs.
Her.arms were SO stiff that she could
scarcely reach back far enough to fasten
her dress, while now she can almost lay
her hands between her shoulder blades.
She was SO discouraged with doctoring

that ! almost had to force her to come to
Prof. Larson last week. Now she is glad |
Insisted. That mans power is all that is
claimed for II and there are lots more
who knew Mrs. Paulk's condition that are
coming to him."
Every word Of this statement, remark
able as it is, can be confirmed by talk
with Mr.. and Mrs. Paulk. The pub
llshed endorsements of Prof. Larson's
power given one, two or three years ago,
show that he Is not only an adept In get
ting quick results, but that his cures are
as lasting as nature itself. Neither are
his cures confined to any locality, age or
sex The simple straightforwardness
with which the story was told was i'm
pressivc and the truth Of every statement
can easily be verified. Mr.. Paulk is a
teamster at the Home and is we'll known
at headquarters and among The veterans.

suits in Case Of Mrs. Paulk.
DODGE CITY IS TALKING.
the Remarkable Transformation
of a Woman at the Home after a
Single Treatment.

The people of Dodge City have been
watching the wonderful cures performed
by Prof. J. Austin Larson under his
famous drugless treatment ever since he
came to Kansas nearly two years ago and
this interest has been stimulated to the
highest expectation since he opened
offices at the Santa Fe Hotel in Dodge
City on Thursdays Of each week. He
made his first trip to this place one week
ago and among the patients accepted was
Mrs. s. X. PauIk of The Soldiers Home.

LIBRARY AND SCHOOLS
Shall the Board of Education of Dodge
City Issue Bonds.

1t is apparent to every one who has
given the subject any consideration that
something must be done to provide more
room for our crowded schools. We
must have at least one more room this
year than we had last year, The only
feasible plan seems to be to build four
rooms on the south side OF the Second
ward building and that building was
planned and erected with that end In
view and by building there we save the
expense of halls and stairways, We can
build four rooms there about as cheap as
we could build a separate building Of two
rooms; we can then sell the little frame
building as we will then be able to ac-
commodate all the children for number
Of years. Our idea Is to make the addi-
ton the long way east and west which
we think will add very much to the ap-
pearance of the present building (which
ls = matter that should be consldered) but
will make the whole building a very
solid and substantial structure,
Now word as to the cost. The dis
trict now has outstanding $lS,OOOOO
per cent bonds making total interest
charge of SlOSO00. The Board of Edu-
cation has arranged with the School Fund
Commissioners to refund these bonds
J and issue new bonds at 49 per cent run
ming twenty years, thus saving each year
on what we have been paying, SIS on
each bond or $27O on the eighteen bonds.
The SGOOO,OO which we ask permission to
issue will be At per cent bonds and the
annual interest charge will be just s27O.
so that so far as the interest charge Is
concerned the levy for interest this year
will not be any more than 1t was last
year which was 3 mills and in fact it will
J not be quite so much because the taxable
valuation of the district will be little
more this year than 1t was last year. The
valuation last year was $lS6,0l3 and
counting that 1t will not be any larger
this year. Let us see what we will have
to pay as taxes for school bond interest
this year and see if we can afford to vote
the additional 100000.
For example we will take John Doe
who owns $3OOOO0 worth of property and
he gives it to the assessor for taxation at
q valuation of 100000 (and the chances
are that he would not give it in for more
than SjOO) and the portion he would have
to pay for interest on school bonds would
be just $3.50 Or % cents on each 800
The Globe-republican., 1905-03-16

of valuation returned by him and this
amount would include the total amount
to he paid by him on the total bonded
indebtedness of $24,0000O. The great
majority Of tax payers, after deductng
the $500 exemption, would not have to
pay to exceed 50c while those who do not
own over 5000 worth of property, and
who have a family to support, will not
have to pay single penny.
have called attention to the above
facts because the Board Of Education
needs and wants the hearty cooperation
of all our citizens to the end that we may
build up our schools SO that each grade
will be second to none IN a city Of the
second class in this state, and we feel
that you realize as We do that this con-
ditlon does not exist at this time.
call attention to The above facts for
another reason and that is that some
persons are claiming that we can not
afford to accept donation Of nice
$1,000 on library building and agree to
make levy sufficient to raise $3.50 per
year to maintain the library, because we
must provide additional ichool rooms,
and that will be all the additional burden
Of taxation we can stand this year. |
think | have shown that there will be
no additional school tax this year but
rather ID will be a little less than last
year. The said bonds when refunded
and also the $4,000 new bonds will run
for twenty years so there will be no
need of making levy for sinking fund
for ten years and even then one will not
need to make the rate very burdensome
beca1se our bonds are all held by the
state and all of them which have not
been paid when they are due can be re-
funded.
Now to raise the $3.50 required to pro-
cure the library will cost each tax payer
about %! cents on each 500 Of the valu-
alton returned by him TO the assessor
(provided his 5000 exemption does not
amount to as much or more than the total
valuation returned by him) and if hia
taxable valuation amounts to $1,000 his
library tax would be S2.25. | under.
stand that one or two men who own less
than $4,000 worth Of property and who
will return to the assessor for taxation
not 10 exceed $1,000 have already spent
more than time enough in arguing
against the library proposition to have
earned at the rate Of $lO0 per day
enough to have paid their library tax for
several years. There are only few men
In Dodge City who own enough property
to make their library tax a matter of
much Importance, and so far as | have
heard most of these men are in favor of
the library.

The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1905-04-08

Every benefactor to humanity should receive
his need of praise. A seedless apple is the latest
production, and as the experiment has succeeded
in our neighboring state, Colorado through the
patience of John T. Spencer of Grand Junction, we
see no reason why Utah horticuturaliss should not
try the experiment. The advantages of the eoreess
apple are worthy of trial. First every part is edi
BILE, and secondly it is wormless. Worms which
arc the bane of the home product, derive their sub
sistence from the seed of the apple, and not from
the meat Without the seed they perish. The tree
itself is without blossom, hence the moth, which
is sheltered by the BLOSSOM cannot deposit its eggs
in the embryo of the apple. Nor is the apple in its
germ affected by cold snaps, which not unfrequently
destroy whole orchards, because the blossomless
tree and it's fruit mpervious to the changes of
the weather. With these advantages, especially as
this tree is not affected by climate some of our
fruit growers should try the experiment. No doubt
it would pay for it will give to the coreess apple
a share in the fame of the seedless orange.

That the tide has turned in favor of the peo-
pie and threatens to completely enguf the Victories
of corporate greed was made evident by the action
of the grand jury in Chicago the other day, wnen
it indicted one Connors, an officer of one of the
concerns that forms the beef trust, for medling
with the witnesses in the prosecution of that pre-
datory octopus. He charged with extending
unusual courtesies to these witnesses, with view
of influencing their testimony-acts upon the part
of those industrial magnates, 1T is safe to say,
that would have been ignored In the not remote
past. The indignation of the accused is described
as having been of the picturesque order, but he
was not permitted although earnest plea on his
behalf was made by the trusts attorney, to leave
the precincts of the jury on his own reeognizance;
he was required to give bail, like any other vulgar
prisoner 'The wheels of the gods grind slowly,

The common people" sounded clarion note
in Chicago on last Tuesday The election of Judge
Edward E. Dunno, Democratic candidate for
mayor, by plurality of nearly $4,000, in the face
of large normal Republican majority, was a
triumphant victory for municipal ownership in
that city. And this victory does not tell the whole
story. Judge DUNES opponent, John Maynard
Harlan, the Republican candidate, had also de-
clared in favor of munipical ownership, but only
at the expiration of period of ten years How
many thousands of his supporters would have voted
for Judge Dunno had the former opposed NUM-
cipalownershp in the abstract it is impossible to
estimate. By thus pronouncedly declaring for the
immediate municipal ownership of public utilities,
the people have signifed Their ability to ulti-
mately accomplish their emancipation from cor
porate control without resorting to the drastic
extremes proposed by the Goddess socialistic agi-
tators. The genius of the American people may be
relied upon to save the country without plunging
into dangerous, vicious and immoral expedients
Christian principles must and will be maintained
in this great American republic.
