After the License Tax.

States Attorney Mason has received
letter from Tax Commissioner Dill
lon, relating to the falling off of the
license taxes in many counties of the
State. The Tax Commissioner is con-
cerned because in many counties the
number Of licenses issued for the license
year 1906 is less than the number is
sued for the same period last year.
The fact has caused him to suspect
that a number of persons are conduct
ing privileges for which license is
necessary without having one. There
is no reason, he thinks, why there
should be less number Of licenses is-
sued this year than last, except per-
haps in some counties where slot ma
chimes have been forced out of bust
ness.
A revenue officer travelled the State
last year and found great many per-
sons conducting privileges without
having the proper license therefor.
No indictments or prosecutions were
attempted, for the reason that the Ii
cense laws were new and there might
have been some excuse for such per.
sons not having secured the proper Ii
cense. This year there is no such ex-
cuse, and every person found conduct
.ng business for which a license is
necessary without having license
therefor should be indicted and pros
ecuted. The Tax Commissioner urges
Mr.. Mason to investigate this matter
thoroughly in this county and have
indictments made where he finds that
the revenue laws are being violated.

Charles Haines, the ten-Year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. j. Haines,
was killed by a common blue Jay near
Urbana, Iowa, the other day. At
tackled while at play by an angry blue
Jay, the little fellow was unable to
fight off the bird, and when his
mother came to his rescue in answer
to his screams, the child was bleeding
from several wounds on the head, and
almost exhausted from his frantic ef-
forts to rid himself of the vicious jay.
The wounds were dressed, and no
serious harm was expected, but soon
the boys head began to swell and
blood poisoning set in, All efforts of
the doctors was futile, and the little
boy died a day or two afterward in
great agony. The blue jay is easily
angered, and seems to fear nothing,
even attacking larger persons. The
child saw the bird in the yard and
ran after it.

Asthma Sufferers Should Know This.

Foley's Honey and Tar has cured
many cases of asthma that were con-
sidered hopeless. Mrs. Adolph Blusing,
70l West Third ST., Davenport, Iowa,
writes "a severe cold contracted
twelve years ago was neglected until it
finally grew into asthma. The best
medical skill available could not give
me more than temporary relief. Foley's
Honey and Tar was recommended and
one fifty cent bottle entirely cured me
of asthma which had been growing on
me for twelve years. If had taken il
at the start would have been saved
years of suffering" Remnants Phar-

 Thou alone art able to appreciate the music of a noble nature. the flores of whose being are so many vibrating chords touched into unison by the fin ger of Thy Providence. and Thou alone indeed canst measure the glorious vol ume of the swelling chorus that will ever ascend to Thee from the princi- pies of chivalry. Here in the vesti- bule of eternity the memory of those principles clings to every fallen heros grave and arises on the perfumed air to thrill our perhaps forgetful minds to shun the sordid and ignoble and pur- sue the lofty and inspiring.
 High ideals, O Lord. are the reflec- tions of Thy majesty. and while we cherish their embodiment in our war grand inheritance Thou hast left us.
 we solicit Thy love that it may make us true to the genius of the South which underlies the significance of our memorial service. and that the guardian of the answering love of our fidelity may be, in Thy Providence, the recollections of the dead.
