Fighting the Assessment.

Lexington. KY, Feb. 9.-Attor-
neys have been employed by persons
whose property assessments in this
county have been raised by the
board of tax supervisors, and it may
be that the matter will be taken to
the courts. The board has raised
the assessments of many land owners
thousands of dollars, and the attor-
neys going before the board arguing
for reduction point out the fact that
adjoining lands lying in other coun-
ties is assessed at from one-half to
one-third less per acre. One farm
er having land in Fayette and Jessa-
mine pays a tax of $50 in Jessamine
and SIS an acre in Fayette.

My wife selected spare room on the

A half hour later ghostly noises began
to come from that room and mysterious

When Will Power and Love Cured CONSUMPTION

Paris.-For the benefit of sufferers
I will tell the story of how young girl
with but one lung, and that affected by
consumption, a girl who lost two sisters
by consumption and herself was with one
foot in the grave when she married, how
this girl by sheer will-power and ath-
letics arrested the disease, brought forth
healthful children and did not infect her
husband.
I have this story from a friend,
noted authority on consumption in Paris,
and it should be read by all sufferers
and by parents of growing children. The
story is given in the Doctors own words:
THE DOCTORS STORY.
"When l visited my old college chum,

daughter, girl of 10, was already af.
fected by the illness that killed her two
elder sisters. She was tall, pretty, 1.-THE

entrance to the city. Officials have
threatened and done everything in
their power. Northern Pacific
officials came, talked much, left
again and the proposition was
killed.
Eventually the Northern Pacific
win be forced into a subway
scheme, but there is a desire to
put this off as long as possible.
The latest plan for killing the
scheme Is said to be in the an
nouncement of subway tunnel for

believed in many uarters this will
amount only to an announcement.
There will be much talk, more en-

will be found impracticable.

again approached in relation to a
subway it will want to await the
completion of the Inland Empire
