Tax on Bonds and Notes.

Representative Sims offered an amend
ment to the paragraph making appropria-
ton for the assessors Office, which provid-
ed that stocks, bonds, promissory notes and
the like should be taxed. Representative
Gillett of Massachusetts, In charge of the
bill, made a point of order against the
amendment, declaring that it was too Inn
portant a step to be considered in this off,
hand way.
Mr.. Sims said he could not see why the
gentleman from Massachusetts objected
There was at present no tax on these
things. although great quantities of them
were owned in this city. He thought the
House should be permitted to fix this mat
ter in about two minutes
In reply to question from Representa-
tive Samuel w. Smith as to why Mr. Sims
did not ask that his amendment be referred
to the District of Columbia committee in
the form of bill, the latter said that the
members of the District committee did not
need to consider 1t. They were all agreed
that such a tax should be imposed It was
reasonable and just and right and should
be done at once.
But Representative Gillett renewed his
point of order and the amendment went
down and out.
Representative Johnson of South Carolina
thought there were too many employees In
the assessors Office. In his district two
men were sufficient to run the tax depart
Iiioul with lotuOV peOpie 10 De considered.
and they were only allowed 5000 a year
apiece for clerk hire.
Representative Fitzgerald of New York
q member OF the District subcommittee on
appropriations, called Mr.. Johnson's atten-
ton to the fact that the committee had al
ready stricken out number of employees
who are deemed to be superfiuous
This was very fine, Mr. Johnson admitted
and careful perusal of the bill had con-
vinced him that the committee had done
splendid work, but he believed the COM
mittee had not cut deep enough.
An Investigation Proposed.
Representative Madden of Illinois. also
a member of the subcommittee, thought
that the matter should be left to 90 over
until later Some of the members of the
subcommittee. including himself had
thought that perhaps there were too many
employees In the assessors Office, but they
were not sure. They had determined. how
ever, to later make personal Investigation
OF each department In the District govern
ment and then make such legislation as
would At the case. In the meantime he
thought It would be fnjudicious to amend
the Bin in such particulars as might result
In hampering the work OF the assessors
offlce.
In reply to O. question by Mr.. Sims, Rep
resntative Madden said he was In thorough
sympathy with the formers proposed
amendment to tax stocks. bonds. promfssory
notes and the like, and requested that
Chairman Giiiett had found 1t necessary to
raise point of order against the adoption
of the amendment.

FORTUNE COMES TO Them
FROM A BIG ESTATE IN SWITZ-
ERLAND.
Button Widow and Her Two Chill
dren Are Entitled to One
Third Interest.

Bluffton, Ind, Feb. 27.-Mr. Ellen
Borne, a widow of this city, has re-
ceived a letter from Kentonburg,
Switzerland, informing her that she
and her two children, Charles Borne
and Mrs. Bert Hesher of Warren, are
entitled to a one-third interest in a
large estate which was left by the
mother of her husband in the old
country. Two surviving sisters of
her deceased husband, who live in
Switzerland, are the only other heirs.
Mrs. Borne says that her husband
came to the United Staes when he
was boy to escape enlistment in the
army of his native land, and he nev-
er eturned. He died twenty years
ago and left wife and two small
children. They nd not heard from
Switzerland for many years and
knew nothing of the fortune awaiting
them there until the letter came this
week. Mrs. Borne would make no
statement as to the probable amount
that will be received by her and her
children, but she said that she ex-
pected it to place her in comfortable
circumstances for the remainder of
her life. Lawyers In Switzerland
are now engaged in making a settle
ment of the estate.

CHURCH WITHOUT PASTOR
CONGREGATION SPLITS OVER

Part Favors Union of Cumberland

Owensville, Ind, Feb. 27.-The
Cumberland Presbyterian church at
this place has been without a pastor
for some time and the indications are
that the situation will continue for
an indefinite period. The members
are divided over the union quetion.
Since the Rev. J. A. Bozarth s term
as pastor expired the congregation
has found it impossible to support a
minister because of the differences of
opinions that exist over the union
question.
Some of the members want union
pastor, while others demand a nom

Richmond daily palladium., 1906-02-28

The celebrated DIR. Abernethy of
London was firmly of the opinion that
disorders of the stomach were the most
prolific source of human ailments in
general. A recent medical writer says
uevery feeling, emotion and affection
reports at the stomach Through the
system of nerves) and the stomach is
affected accordingly: It is the vital
center of the body :" He
continues, cso we may be said to live
by land he might well have said through
the stomach" He goes on to show that
the stomach is the vital center of the
body. He says othe function of di-
gestion in its several stages is to pre-
pare the food in forms which are suita-
able to be added to the structure"
meaning the structure of our bodies.
He continues, "every physical action
from simple breathing, thinking and
circulating of the blood to the most
active bodily exertion wears out por-
ticns of the structure (of our bodies)
aad they become dead and SO require
to be taken away speedily. Much of
the food which we take, and especially
when unwholesome or in excess, adds
TO the waste material, and when it has
undergone chemical changes it is still
more mischievous." Then he goes on
to the effect that the nervous system
prompts every part of the circulating
system. He says sit gives its message
every moment to the intimate number
selves OF waste material 90 that the
current Of blood may carry il away
wWhan these two processes Of nutri-
tion and excretion are thus carried on
with equal assiduity we are in health,
bat when this equilibrium does not
exist there comes disorder and disease.
The common form of such derange-
mont ID indigestion or dyspepsia. The
function of nutrition is interrupted
and all the operations schich depend
wpom It 90 ,crong. Under these condi-
tions Il has q way of appearing in
other types of disorder. Many of these
often mislead physicians. Other parts
Of the organism are likely to be in
volved, and we may find consumption,
kidney complaint, hepatic (liver) dis
orders, hysteria and even mental
alienation (derangement)." He says
lit may be observed that deranged
persons have woe-be-gone express
of the bowels, hallucinations and other
like conditions of dyspepsia"
The foregoing is no doubt a rational
view of the sad havoc worked in the
human system by indigestion and dys-
pepsia, torpid liver and kindred de-
rangesnents, which are generally asso-
ciated with or followed by many other
diseases of diverse appearance, but all
depending upon the sceak and dis
ordered stomach. Cure the stomach
weakness and you cure all these dis
oases and arrangements.
For weak stomachs and the conse-
Quent Indigestion or dyspepsia, and
Ghs multitude of various diseases which
result therefrom. no medicine can be
better suited as q curative agent than
