 The means of furthering the work of the association were discussed. but noth- ing was taken up in definite way. The great need of the association now. it seems, Is a larger enrolment in the train- ing class, which. besides private subscrip- tion. is the only revenue of the assoca- ton

Mayor Ward assumed the role of policeman last night He had strenuous time in placing William Carter ne- gro driver, under arrest and considerable excitement was caused at the corner Of Nineteenth street and First avenue. At the police Jail the negro was charged with violating city ordinance No 444. He gave bond for his appearance before Judge Feagin this morning.
 The negro is a driver and was either on his way to deliver his last load of lime for the day en route to the stable to put up his team. A high wind was blowing and 1t seems he was leav- ing a trail of lime behind. Mayor Ward and his private secretary, B. A. Pepper man, were passing by and noticed the people on the street as they put their

 During the early part of the evening Wednesday he says he noticed couple of strange looking men in the yards. but paid no particular attention to them They were talking to an old man, appar- ently a farmer. When Gillespie lay down to rest he did not remove his trousers, He slept soundly and was not aware of the presence of thief by his couch until yesterday. He reported his loss to the police but no arrests have been made. No one seems to know anything about the two strange men, whose clothes indicated they live in the city. Gillespie returned home heavy-hearted over his loss.

 A number of citizens were on the car at the time and thought the officer used undue violence They preferred charges against him in the police court, but Judge Feagin thought it was matter for the police commission to settle.
 The commission met Tuesday night anu heard the evidence in the case. Ihe charges were sustained and Smith was susuended from the force for ten days and given an additional ten days on an other charge, preferred by the husband of a negro woman. Then It was that the case pending in court was called.

He then got down and took hold of the negro, who is said to have had peculiar desire to pull the Mayor along the street.
 Among those who happened to be in the vicinity was Pat OHear, the saloon man, and he hastened to the telephone in his place of business and called up patrol wagon Carter was given a ride and docketed under the ordinance with the number that has reference to scattering lime and other substances along the street. The credit of the arrest was not given the Mayor, but he will doubtless explain the details to the court.

by pain just behind my right hip that
made it difficult for me to walk home.

"No, the pain grew more severe and
kept extending downward along my leg.
I sent for physician, and he soon de-

the whole nerve was affected, and the
least movement brought on terrible
agony"
"Did your condition improve under
the Doctors treatment?"
"Quite the contrary. At tbs end OF
two months WASH t O bit better, and at
times I feared that would never be
able to leave my bed"

"When was lying in bed, unable to
move and wasting away in flesh, a friend

porary. but when It wears of you
can enjoy your religion and victuals
as well as ever, but the seasickness
that the English channel gives you Is
q permanent investment, like govern
ment bonds that you cut coupons on
OF. I ,spect we shall be sick always
now, and worse every other day. like
chills and fever.
Say, boat on the English channel
does not roll, or pitch, at intervals,
like q boat on ordinary water, but 1t
does stunts like a broncho that has
been poisoned by eating loco-weeds,
and goes into the air and dives down
under, and shakes itself like a black
bass with a hook in Its mouth, and
rolls over like q trained dog, and sits
up on Its hind legs and begs, and then
walks on its fore paws, and seems to
jump through hoops. and dig for wood
chucks, and all the time the water
boils like 'pollinarius, full Of bubbles,
and 1t gives you the hiccups to look
at 1t, and 1t flows every way at the
same time, and the wind comes from
the fourteen quarters at once, and
blows hot If you are too hot and want
q cool breeze, and If you are too cold,
and want a warm breeze to keep you
alive, 1t comes right from the north
pole, and you just perish in your
tracks.
Gee, but 1t is awful. When you get
seasick on an ordinary ocean, you
know where to locate the disease, and
you know where TO go for relief, and
when you have got relieved you know
that you are alive, but an English
channel seasickness Is as different
from any other as an alcohol jag Is
different from a champagne drunk.
This English channel seasickness be-
gins on your toes, and you feel as
though the toenails were being pulled
out with pincers, and the veins in
your legs seem to explode, your arms
wilt like lettuce in front of cheap
grocery, your head seems to be struck
with q pile-driver and telescoped down
into your spine, and your stomach
feels as though you had swallowed q
telephone pole with all Of the cross
arms and wires and glass insulators,
and you wish lightning would strike
you. Gosh, but dad was hot when
ne found that he was sick that way,
and when we got ashore he wanted to
kill the first man he met.
He thinks that 1t is q crime for
a man not to understand the English
Language, and when he tells what he
wants, and the man he is talking to
shrugs his shoulders and laughs, and
brings him something else, he wants
to pull his gun and begin to shoot
up the town, and only for me he would
have killed people before this, but now
he takes 1t out In scowling at people
who do not understand him. Dad
.s6ems to think that If hs cannot make
= man understand what he says, all
he has to do is to swear at the man,
hut there is no universal language Of
urofanity, SO the more dad swears the
more the nervous Frenchman smiles.

The Auditors office will be open from

day OF February following for the pur-
pose of receiving returns of personal
property and real estate for taxation in

| the convenience of tax payers the Audi
tor or his deputies will also receive re-
turns at the following places on the dates
mentioned:
Every male citizen between the ages of
II and 60 years, except ex-Confederate
soldiers and those incapable OF earning n
sup. orr Iron being manned or from
other causes, shall be deemed taxable

BILE for poll tax until so years of age.

quired or to whom Sold.
Under act of 1904, capitation tax of
90 cents was imposed upon nll dogs, aud
the owners of such property are required
to list their dogs ior taxation at the time
OF making their annual return, and it is
made the duty Of the County Auditor

turn out this fertilizer at considera-
BILE less cost than hired labor" But
lwhy should convict labor be placed
in competition with the thousands of
men who are now employed by the
fertilizer companies? They are prop
erty holders, taxpayers, industrious
citizens, dependent upon their daily
labor for their daily bread. 1t would
be hardship to employ the convicts
OF the State TO deprive them of their
means of living.
In order to establish the State fer
tilizer plant it would be necessary to
invest $500, 900 in plant TO make the
fertilizers, and a million dollars in a
plant to mine the rock for use in the
State factory. The State would also
be compelled to have considerable
working capital in orosr to make q
market for it's goods. 1t would not
be practicable for the State to sell
for cash while the other fertilizer
companies are selling on credit. 1t
would also be necessary for the State
to compel the farmers to buy the
fertilizers manufactured by the
States factory instead of the fertili-
zers manufactured by the companies
operated by private capital.
The State is not in financial con-
dition just now, we should think, to
warrant the investment of 80 large
so amount in 80 quixotic an enter
prise as that contemplated in the fer
tilizer factory bill. If we are to reg
ulate the price Of fertilizers by
legislation, why not regulate the price
of farm products by legislation also
But we do not think it possible for
the Senate to pass the fertilizer bill.
In view, however, of the agitation of
the subject and Senator Earle's posi-
tive statements, we trust that he will
inform the public where the valuable
phosphate deposits of the State of
which he speaks are to be found.
The discovery of so rich territory
might at least encourage the invest
ment of private capital in the phos-
phate mining industry.
