Redemption Of Tax Certificates.

The Attorney General has rendered
an opinion which will he of cons Ter
able interest to the holders OF dclin-
quency tax certificates, which is, that
they cannot lawfully take possession
Of the property involved till May, 1906,
the date of redemption having been
extended under this opinion TILL the
3lst day OF that month to the person
in whose name the property has been
assessed. His opinion, in part, is as
follows.

III page -, "i the laws of 1900, it will
appear that under that statute the owner

section l., with other provisions, and
more especially by the provisions OF
chapter 136 laws of 1903, that the Coun-
ty Treasurer has no right to receive taxes
from anyone but the owner or his repre-
sentative prior to the date of Delinquent
cy. Ii such taxes are paid by the holder
Of the certificate of delinquency prior TO
that date the Treasurer receives the
money as the agent Of the holder in his
official capacity. Therefore interest can
only be legally charged after the date
when the Treasurer is legally authorized
to receive the money from the owner OF
the certificate OF delinquency.
This statute of 1905 is a prospective
operation and does not repeal section Il
ui the laws OF 1899, but is rather addi-
tional and both must be construed to-

that the refusal to adopt the resolu-

meeting that the church should not
invite or solicit donations from persons

DDS that were reprehensible or socially
injurious. has been approved by the
board, which, as we understand it,
means that the church is admonished
that it is no part of its duty to look

words, that it don't make "conti-

come from tainted money" or not,

that railroad projectors are tumbling

any volume of business that gives as

DELAYS in Government Business.


The delay in some of the depart
ments at Washington, in transaction
OF public business, is exceedingly exas-
pirating and decidedly reprehensiblc.
An answer was received, this week i,
by Receiver Stocking to letter writ
ten 81 years ago, by the then Receiver
Clark to the Interior Department, re-
garding small claim for excess pay
mcnt, a class Of business that is subject
to delay under red-tape rules, which
provide for readily passing money into
the public purse, but guard with gor-
yonian pertinacity any attempt 10 pay
it out.
An instance in point is afforded by
the collection from Mr.. George A.
Barnes, as surety, by the Department,
of balance of about $500, on the Off
cial bond of Joseph Cushman, claimed
as a deficiency in his accounts as land
officer, discovered after bis death.
Some time afterwards it was found
that the Receivers accounts really bal.
anced to dollar and that the appar-
ent deficit was covered by failure to
make a certain credit, an error of the
department. One would suppose that
such palpable evidence of injustice
would have been at once corrected and
the money refunded with apologies.
Not so. Mr.. Barnes was CURLY in
formed by letter from the department
that it would require an act of Con-
gress to restore the money wrongfully
paid! Bills were introduced by several
Territorial Delegates to reimburse Mr..
Barnes, but such trifles when brought
before the great American Congress
are generally ignored, unless supported
by member having q vote, and at
last accounts. the money paid third
OF century ago is still in the govern.
ment stronghold, and it would now at
the rate of interest it might command
out here with the same compounded
annually, amount to quite little for
tune. The government will probably
never repay it, and if it does, interest
is never paid except to bondholders,
the money sharks who make and con-
troll the House OF Lords"

for some time an inmate of the Hos
pitsl for the Insane, at Steilaccoom,

A wen Deserved Tribute.

The awarding of the Grand Prize to the
Winchester Repeating Arms Co., New Ha-
wen, Conn, at the st. Louis Exposition,
mark of distinction attained by any manu-
facturer of guns or ammunition in the
world. Although a great number of med
ais were given, the only award of Grand
Prize was to the Winchester Repeating
ARMS Co.; given as it was in competition
with the leading manufacturers OF all coun-
tries, it testi6es decidedly to the superior
ity of Winchester rifles, shotguns and am
munition. The success attained by the
Winchester Repeating Arms Co. at this
exposition is in line with past honors. At
the Paris Exposition they received the
Grand Prix, and wherever exhibited have
always been given the highest possible
prizes. This latest recognition of super
iority is the natural result of thirty years
of careful and successful endeavor in main
tanning the high quality of Winchester
rifles, shotguns and ammunition.

Microscopic Detective.

Gutenberg, prince of microscopists,
some years ago was employed by the
Prussian government to investigate
case of smuggling. A cask had been
opened, valuables extracted, and the
case repacked and shipped onward to
its destination. The only clue to the
criminals was that the unpackins
must have been done at some of the
customs houses through which the
goods had passed. To all appearances
the microscope had hopeless task.
Gutenberg took some Of the sand
which had been used in repacking,
placed it under the microscope, look
ed through the tube, and behold, there
on the stand lay peculiar specimen
of foraminifera- That animal was
found only at one place in the world,
and told just where the crime had
been committed.

My child was very delicate baby. A
terrible sore and humor broke out on his
body, looking like raw flesh, and causing
the child untold agony. My physician pre-
scribed various remedies, none of which
helped at all. I became discouraged and
took the matter into my own hands, and

MIGHT HAVE SAVED IT.
A Lot of Trouble From Too Much Starch
Food.

A little boy of eight years whose
parents did not feed him ON the right
kind of food. was always nervous and
suffered from weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and after
the operation the doctor, knowing that
his intestinal digestion was very weak,
put him on Grape-Nuts twice day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states,
HE has grown TO be strong, muscular,
and sleeps soundly, weighs e. pounds,
and his whole system is in fine con-
dition of health" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
1t is plain that If he had been put on
Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in his
life, and kept from the use of foods
that he could not digest, he never
would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach and bowels,
causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes, setting
up diseased condition which is the
active cause of appendicitis, and this
is more marked with people who do not
properly digest white bread.
Grape-Nuts is made of the selected
parts of wheat and barley and by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at the
factory, all of the starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate digestion
and the more perfect nourishment of
all parts of the body, particularly the
brain and nerve centres.
