TAX LEVY ILLEGAL
Law Requires That County Must
Specify How Funds Are
to be Expended.
NINETY COUNTIES AFFECTED
BY Ruling of the Supreme Court-Re-
lief in Legislative Enact
ment.

A bin is now pending in the lcgisla-
ture of the state that affects the valid
ity of the tax levy of Rock Island coun'
". as well as a large majority of the
counties of the state. The bill has
gone TO a second reading without go
ing through the formality of reference
to a committee. BY this is shown the
urgency of the relief asked for.
The supreme court at its last session
handed down an opinion that has crea-
ted dismay and worked havoc in nearly
every county in the state. II declared
the tax levies for county purposes H.
legally made. The court decided that
under the law county board in max
ing the levy for county purposes must
specify by percentages and totals how
the funds are to be expended and for
what purposes. In other words. the
levies for county taxes must be fully
itcmizcd.. Very few counties in the
state are known to have done this.
Cannot Collect 1901 Levy.
The suit in the supreme court came
from Vermillion county, and under the
court S decision the levy for 1904 can
not be collected this spring. II Is
found that this condition exists in 80
per cent of the counties Of the state.
and therefore To validate the ievies
that have been Illegally made this bill
must be passed and put into effect at
once
Although Rock Island county's tax
comes under the decision technically,
the payments have never been ques-
toned heretofore by the railroads or
other corporations that usually resist
tax payments upon technicalities.
The bill was introduced in the house
by Representative Allen, Of VermilIIon
county. and IL is to be sent al once To
the senate. where similar quick action
is expected. There is abundant prece.
dent OF this class of legislation and
Mr.. Allen is assured there is no dan
ger whatever OF its legality. In pre-
vious cases of like character curative
legislation has been adopted and the
supreme court has sustained the same

Not IN Favor With Scribes.


One or two newspaper men in Chi
cago will sing hi-lee-hi-lo If Taylor
gets the boots. The pitcher was al.
ways hostile tn the scribes and never
knew what il was to be friendly with
the gang in the press stand. On one
occasion a morning paper said that
Taylor weakened" in a losing game.
Taylor got IL into his head that this
really dominated him as a gutter, in
asmuch as Taylor is not a gutter, but
a veritable bulldog under fire. this mis-
conception reused him to- great wrath.
Coming to the wire netting. he halted
in front of the offending scribe and
poured forth a flood of the most saw
age language for several minutes. The
reporter. a little man and vastly infer
ior TO Taylor physically. made no re-
ply. but il is safe to say that he will
dance with glee if Taylor gets tossed
out of the game. There is another
story current to the effect that Taylor
who never did harmonic with Jim
Hart. anyway. went to Jim's Office one
morning with the intention of making
the club president do the highland
fling and throw fliphops. Hart. having
heard of his coming. had put a bat in
a closet. When Taylor came in. Harr
'ocked the door. took up the bat and
n the sweetest of tones proceeded
o explain to- Taylor how the bat was
made. painted. and tradc-marked
Taylor listened with polite apprecia-
rion and went on his way after a most
friendly and sociable conversation.

Hyomei Cures Catarrh by Simple

To Cure.

"A long stride toward solving the
mystery of curing catarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In
fact, the percentage of cures by this
treatment proves it's equal to the final
tests.
The folly of taking medicine into
the stomach to cure catarrh of the
nose, throat and lungs, has been real
lied by physicians, but not until Hy-
omei was known, had they a practi-
cal method that would obviate stom-
ach drugging.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but

haler that can be used anywhere
without attracting attention, a med
icine dropper and bottle of Hyomei.
Extra bottles of Hyomei cost but soc.
Breathing Hyomei through the in
haler, every particle of air that en-
tiers the nose, throat and lungs, is
charged with healing balsam that
sooths and allays all irritation, kills
the catarrhal germs and enriches the
blood with additional ozone.
Clarke & Co, have so much faith in
the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh,
that they are selling it uuder their
personal guarantee to refund the
money if it does not give positive
relief.

Hanging Too Good For Him.

Charged with assaulting two wom-

the husband!of one, James PicersaI, a
young negro fiend, was taken to
Louisville Saturday night from Lex
ington to escape mob, which was
forming in that city with the avowed
intention of burning him at the stake.
After rigid questioning he broke
down and made complete confess
sion. Piersall is charged with crimi-
nal assault and was arrested by De-
tectives T. J. McCarty and J. s.
Stewart of the Lexington detective
force, who had collected sufficient
evidence against him to convince them
he was guilty of assaulting Mrs. R. L.
Jones and Mrs. Charles Wagner.
Before being taken to Louisville,
Piersall was takensbefore Mrs. Jones
and positively identified as the negro
who committed the assault.
The victims of the fiend are report
ed to be recovering. A special grand
jury was empaneled yesterday to in
vestigate the charges against him,
and it is believed he will be given a
speedy trial. Such criminals should
be put out of the way as quick as
possible.
