The S2.ooI,14o to pay, the $780,
900; OR in other words, the tax bur-
den reduced from about IS per cent
to 10 per cent OF assessed valuation,
besides the fact of our natural ma
terial resources, being increased by
being developed through the effects
OF a trunk line of road, and our tax
able property being further increas-
ed by the wealth that will come
with the advent of this road, thus
hot only further reducing the basis
OF burdens but assisting in making
Barber county one of the wea1thiest
and most progressive counties in
Kansas. The more there are to
bear a given burden the less the
weight on each individual. Bro.
Roessler admits it will raise the
value of land even in Valley town
ship, but objects to that on account
of probably raising the rental val
-ue. Suppose it does increase the
rent a little; the renter will have
better markets nearer him, get more
for his produce and probably cost
him less to ship in and ship out
stuff, as we'll as cost him less to trav-
el as passenger than now. Bro
ther r. also ignores the fact that it
will probably cost $I,1oo,ooo, to
complete this road through this
county, a very large part of which
must be spent here in Barber coun-
ty and paid to our laboring men,
farmers and merchants. Without
taking into consideration that the
stock in the D. *. & G. is on prac-
tically the same basis as the trunk
line assessment per mile and that
the stock the county will get will
probably sell some day for prinei :
pal and interest as did the stock sub
scribed in Bourbon county, Kansas
to similar road years ago, we
contend that the D. K & G. prop
osition, if carried, viii mark an
epoch of progress, improvement
and development in Barber county,
Kansas, that we all, including Bro.
Roessler, will be proud of.

Probate Judge Gleason's time

man, DIR. w. II. Moore and DR.. c.
W. Longenecker, was appointed to.
inquire into her mental condition
and they found her to be woman

is not violent and probably will
yield to treatment: She has been
in the Topeka asyrusn :. md
released as cured. She strongly re-
sents the action just taken and in
sists that-she is sane. She will be
sent to the asylum as soon as per-
mission is received from the insti-

have recently learned that his
health is failing. A letter recent
ly received from him by a Medi-
cine Lodge friend states that he
has been more or less troubled
with malaria for four years and the

times and is a very efficient man.
At present he is at the navy yards

that sickness will not mar his USE
ful career.
