OTHER MINOR CITY MATTERS.

The number of cows now listed
for taxation in Paducah. according ia
figures prepared by City Auditor Al.
exander Kirkland. is ESQ, which In
cludes those of all the dairymen
Colored people have listed but ten
COWS. The average value of the
cows assessed is $40. Many of them
are listed at IS, while some are
worth $40 or more.
Under the present charter the law
makes It imperative on the property
owner to list all his taxable proper
~. and IL the cows owned in Padu-
cab have not been assessed. II Is the
fault of the owner, for which he may
be called to account. Formerly II
was the business of the assessor Ia
ind and list all property. but under
this charter IL is the duty of tho
property owner to go to the assessors
Office and file his list and make anil
davit to It.
The number of cows now assess
ed, however, is much larger than a
few years ago. when only two or
three cows on an average were listed.
The above, however, shows how
unjust n is for few COW owners to
attempt to prevent the passage of a
stock law. Only a few, il any, are
benefited by allowing cows to run at
large and forage around in other peo-
pies yards. while the whole commu-
nifty will be benefited by keeping
them up'
II is said. however. that the COW
ordinance will easily pass tonight.

voted against il last time. states that

Cook and the Star.

The Kansas City Star is now try
ing, as gracefully and as skillfully
as it can, to wriggle out OF the
charges which it made against
Hon. Sam B. Cook, in connection
with the failure of the Salmon
Bank.
The Star got a notion that in this
big failure, it could manufacture
some ammunition against its
ancient enemy, the Democratic
machine"
1t now finds that the full force
of its volley landed in the aodo-
men of a certain Mr.. Cook, who
by the grace of the recent land
slide. is n of Missouri's Repub-
lican bank examiners.
All efforts to compromise the
honesty or ability of the dis
tinguished ex-Secretary OF State

Oregonian Sensitiveness.

People who are planning a visit
to the Portland Exposition should
learn how to pronounce the name
of the river that flows through the
Fair City. Oregonians are touchy
on the subject.
A lady wrote an ode to celebrate
the opening. She was a New
England poetess and not up on
Oregonian orthoepy:
"When Clark and Lewis first beheld
The ripping Willamette,
The virgin forest round them lay,
With many 4 snare beset."
The Portland O~regonian resented
the error in some verses closing
thus:
"But, indeed, ma'am,
When we find our bright Willamette
Mispronounced, we feel you need, ma'am'
To be told it rhymes with - -
The sensitive nature of the Ore
CONAN should be respected. Be-
sides, there is a mennonite merit in
the lesson. Should you, in the
presence of an Oregonian, not
mispronounce, but commit the
worse offense of forgetting the
name of their much-loved river,
Just think of what you said Tor, il
you are a woman, of what you
heard your husband or brother
say) when you hit your thumb in
stead of the tack.-Post- Dispatch.

The Air Is Conquered.

Roy Knabenshue, in his Toledo
flight in an airship, has demon
strated that the long-dreamed-of
navigation of the air is to some
degree at least practicable.
His is the first flight ever made
that may be called successful. He
sailed three miles against a strong
wind, with his machine always
under perfect control, landed
where he had previously an
nounced that he would land, and
then made the return journey to
exactly the same spot from which
he had started.
The essential requirements of
aerial navigation have been met.
Correct principles have been dis
covered and properly applied.
But a host of difficulties will de-
velope and must be overcome.
One swallow does not make a sum-
mer; nor does one successful flight
fill the sky with airships. The
automobile was an accomplished
mechanical fact long years before
it was made practicable for gen.
eral use. So was the steam en-
CINE and every other mechanical
innovation.
The popular mind requires de-
velopment quite as much as an in
vention. A long campaign Of
education through advertising was
necessary to make even SO simple
a thing as the bicycle popular
Far more than that will be required
to induce the public to take to thu
air, even though airships be madt
perfectly safe.--Kansas city World.

1921 after terrific fighting and a
slaughter, If we may believe the stat
isticians, that far exceeds what has re
Gently occurred there. All prisoners
taken were promptly |beheaded.
Lisoyang was captured and made the
capital, and seventy other cities
promptly surrendered.
In 1914 the Manchus, risen to great
power, marched into China and placed
one of their own on the throne of that
government, and a Manchu has ruled
there e since. In the eighteenth
century Mukden rose to great com
mercial and political importance, but
by the time of the opening of the
nineteenth century, through causes
largely due to the decay of the Man
chu dynasty, the city declined in i'm
portance, and when the Russians be-
gan their active control of the com
munity, after the Chinese-Japanese
wal of 1894, they found it a place Of
squalor, filth and disease.
Sacred Tombs Preserved.
The sacred tombs has been pre-
served, but the city was almost iso-
lated from the world; its people indo-
lent, careless, out of touch with the
world. The Russians made it a base
of commercial and military supplies,
introduced some modern methods of
sanitation and proposed to make it
the halfway station between Port Ar
thur and Hardin.
Now the Japanese have it. To
them it may be their northern ter
minal in the new land they will doni-
nate, although in all probability, when
it comes to making the final treaty,
they will dominate far to the Kuang-
chang-tsu district. Aside from the
Russian population 80 per cent of the
inhabitants of Mukden are Chinese.
The only language taught in the city
schools is Chinese. The Japanese
probably will introduce entirely mod
ern methods of education and com
merce.
In 5000 years there have been
fought in front of Or about Mukden
some twenty-odd noted battles of the
Red River prospector. (Red River, Taos County, N.M.) 1900-190?, 1905-03-30
MUKDEN ALWAYS BATTLE POINT
Wars Have Ragged Around the City of Tombs" for More
Than Three Thousand Years.

Mukden, the ancient city, now pass
ed into the control of the Japanese,
was described last August in this
manner by an American wal core
spondent:
Most cities of China proper have
1912 distinct smells. Mukden has
but 6,214; it has been Russianized
and whenever possible the Russian
has introduced clean streets, some
kind Of a sewerage system, orderly
houses; hence Mukden is now known
as the %cleanest town of the many
where the filthy Chinese have pre-
dominated in the past"
Mukden belongs to the province of
S%hingking and on the line of railway
running north it is about half way
between Niuchwang and K|uangchang-
tsu, which belongs to the province of
Kirin.
Now aside from the fact that Muk-
den holds the sacred tombs of the
ancient Manchu or pure" dynasty it
has other interest in that it has been
one of the worlds central battle
points since LOO years or more be-
fore Christ.
Where Russian and Japan have
been cont ssting longer than a year,
race after race, and nation after ma
ton, have hurled themselves against
each other for certainly 1900 years.
The soil ABOUT Mukden, the ranges of
the Long White Mountain, the great
stretches of gray plains have been
soaked with the blood of tens Of thou
sands of warriors.
1t is a Golgotha-a place of bones
and the wraiths of men who have
gone to their final judgment in CON
quest or plumber.
Peorled Long Before Christ.
Dates in Chinese or Monaghan his
tory are much mixed, but so far as
accuracy a be depended upon Muk-
den was a settlement long before
Christ was born. The Prince of
Pohai had some possessions there
about 10 B. c., and at one time Chi

Reused Artist from Inaction.

Phil May, the English artist, who
died o long ago, had fits of l~aziness
and when suffering from this ailment
found it very difficult to work On
n occasion he had promised a col
ored design for the Christmas number
of a weekly. The day fixed for its de-
livery passed by, but no design WIS
forthcoming. The publisher went
hunting for him and found him at a
seaside hotel enjoying a time of absO-
lutte inaction. Without going to see
Mr.. May, he hired six sandwich mea
to parade up and down before the ar
lists window with boards bearing diff
ferent legends. This was their tenor:
What about our Christmas %coyer?'

was a delightful reminder and in a

KIPLINe SYSTEMATIC WORKER.
English Author Puts in Ten Hours a
Day at His Desk.

English Author Puts in Ten Hours a
Day at His Desk.
Kipiing's method of work presents
a direct antithesis to that of the Ger
man scholar. The English scholar
spends only about ten hours a day at
his desk, but he is a systematic work
err, going about his writing at the
same time every morning. A friend
of the author who has seen him late
ly says that he has grown very thin
and looks much more than the thirty
nine years that stand to his account.
1t would seem that he has never quite
recovered from his serious illness in
New York and that the death of his
little daughter had d%eepened his spir-
ituality. Kipling's favorite form of
recreation is motoring, and he takes
a boyish delight in rediscovering Eng
land with his hand on the brake. An
American author who met him last
summer warned him to be careful
not to let his enthusiasm make him
run his machine off the island.
