CANNOT COLLECT BACK TAXES
Decision Favors State Commissioners
Tax Cases.

AT asnecial session of the Mou-
ougalia Circuit court held on Sat.
urday, Judge Mason delivered an ex.
haustive opinion in the case OF South
Penn Oil Co., plaintiff. against State
Tax Commissioned Dillon and the as
sessorr of Monongalia county. defend

The company procured temporary
injur elton to restrain the state tax
commissioner from assessing the oil
and gas lease held by the Penn cont
pany executed in 1899 by Jesse King
and wife on land situated in Monon.
gala county for purposes of taxation
both for the year 1905 and for FIVE
years back taxes thereon. The tax
commissioner had instructed all asses
sors to sssess such leases and coal
leases for purposes of taxation for 1905.
under the act of the legislature passed
February "a. 1906. which for the first
time specifically named 'chattels
real, !" which words include such leases
as subj ects of taxation. The county
court. under the advice of counsel,
enlarged these instructions and
directed the county assessors to assess
back taxes for five years on these
leases.
Judge Mason holds that such leases
must be assessed for the purposes of
taxation for the year 1905 under the
act of February, 1905, but must not be
assessed with the taxes prior to that
date, because there was no law author
izing snch ASSESSMENT and taxation
prior to 1905.
This case was test case brought by
the South Penn Oil Co.. which is Il
branch of the Standard Oil Co. The
effect of Judge Masons decision will
be to bring into taxation all oil ard gas
leases held throughout the state, un-
less the decision is reversed by an
APPELLATE court But it will prevent
tire recovery of back taxes for coal.

courts decide otherwise.

DISEASE AMONG CATTLE
Epidemic ln Frederick County Is
Alarming 10 Farmers.
ANIMALS GO STONE BLIND
Agricultural Department at Wash
ington Sends Very Simple and
Efiicacious Treatment

Farmers of FIeaerie county va, are
greatly alarmed at the outbreak Of a
disesse among their cattle that Il now
epidemic. Fran the effets az the
disease the tattle become stone blind
and finally die
Mr. Q, Il Smithe-, of Brucetown.
whose cattle sre afflicted with the
disease described its symptoms in a
letter 10 the Agricultural Depart.
ment. Mr.. Smithey has received the
following reply, showing that the
method OF Treatment is simple and
efficacious:
Referring 60 your letter of the
Goth inst, would say that the eye
disease in question has become pre-.
valent in the United States during
the past few years, and ii appears to
he of an infectious nature. Gases are
reported where one affected animal
has been introduced into herd with
the result tnat in the coarse of few
weeks a number OF animals in the
herd became Similarly affected. When
no attention Il given TO this le.ion. a
number of animals will become blind
in one or both eyes.
The treatment is very simufG, aud
when applied in time will cure most
cases. The affected ewes should be
well hathed in solution of toraeic
acid, and after wiping dry small
amount Of iodoform vaseline should
be inserted be tween the eyelids. either
by mea of the finger or a snail fiat
stick with rounded edges. The eye
lids should then be rubbed gently, in
order 70 spread the ointment over the
whole surface OF the eye. | will be
found TINT a few applications made in
this way will cure even far progressed
cases.
When taken at the first appearance,
one application is often sufficient to
check the DEVELOPMENT of the lesion.
1t is important that the ointment,
winch should he prepared in the
strength OF one palt of iodoform TO
twelve parts of vaseline, should ne
rnbbed until perfectly smooth, as any
small PARTICLES of iodoform not evenly
diffnsed through the vaseline will have
an irritating effect on the eve. -

When the kidneys are sick there ip
always warning to tell you of 1t, and
when the kidneys call for help there Is
no time to lose. Kidney diseases are
common and fatal-cause more deaths
every year than any other human ills.
But nine cases out of ten this Is due
to neglect. Kidney disorders are easily
contracted, but just as easily cured
when treated properly and in time.
Common causes of kidney troubles
are colds, fevers, exposure, strains on
the back, blood poisoning diseases, and
indulgence in stimulants.
The kidneys are the blood filters and
when they become sick the blood is
soon laden with impurities which the
kidneys have failed to remove. This
causes backache, stiff, lame and sore
muscles, aching joints, spells of dizzi-
ness, headaches, rheumatic pains,
sleeplessness nervousness and langour,
weak heart and many other bodily
aches and ills.
Meanwhile the kidneys are fast
breaking down, and from this cause
the urine becomes discolored and full
of sandy sediment; passages are too
frequent and often painful.
Uric acid crystallizes and causes
gravel and kidney stones. The bladder
cannot perform it's natural duties.
Water which should pass off in the
urine collects in different parts Of the
body, causing dropsical bloating.
