SCHOOL TAXES
AND HIGH LEVY
EIGHT DISTRICTS REPORT
AN AVERAGE OF So MILLS,
Last Year the Average for the Entire
County Was Trirle Over Q Mills
Special Tax Necessary TO Properly
Sustain the Schools-Pendleton
Election VIII BE Held December IL
to Vote n Levy.

From the special district school
taxes that have been voted already
in this county 1t may be easily seen
that the levies are to be higher than
last year. So far eight districts have
reported their actions in the matter.
They are as follows: District %,
| mills district SO, ~ mills; district
~. 15 mills; district SO, 10 mills:
district Sc, 10 mills; district 9S, two
mills district 40, Is mills; district .,
mills.
The average levy of the eight dis
tricts is Sia mills. Last year the av-
erage for the entire county was tri-le
over mills.
Superintendent Welles says the rea-
son for the increased special levies is
the fact that the state and county
taxes do not provide enough revenue
to properly carry on the school work.
Last year the amount raised in this
county from special district taxes was
greater than from the state and coun-
ty funds combined. From appear
ances the same will be true this year.
AS the various districts provide longer
and better schools for their children
a greater expense is involved and at
present the only way OF meeting this
extra amount is by district taxes.
Local Election December 12.
At a recent meeting of the Pendle-
ton school board it was decided to
hold an election here on Wednesday,
December 12, for the purpose of vot-
ing a district tax for next year. How
ever, the official call has not yet be n
made by Clerk Bickers, and it is pos
sible that date may be changed.
As to what tax will be recommend
ed by the board Lee Teutsch, chair
man of the same. said
I'VE cannot tell yet just what tax
will be necessary. We are now en-
gagged in looking up our accounts 50
as to tell about what whe will need.
It is the intention of the board to ask
for as low levy as possible and at
the same time meet the necessary ex-
penses of the district"

NERVES AND
 e.'''7''r''n''THE MAN.
Nothing Bu Feod Will Build Strong Nerves Not the Food That's Eaten But That Which
 Is AssimiIated.

A man is as strong as his stomash.
 Is it not strange then that persons with starved, irritable nerves should dose themselves with so-called nerve tonics," instead of going straight. |. at the stomach for the cure?
 Well nourished nerves are strong, calm, trustworthy.
 Nervousness is generally ner., starvation. This is what causes irrita- bility, nervous fear and trembling. nervous indecision and disinclination to attempt anything extraordinary; nerv- ous headaches lneuralgia), loss of mem cry, etc. :.
 The rich blood made from your food when Dr Richards's Dyspepsia Tablets are taken. feeds the nerves and round about each nerve is built up. day by day, delicate cushion or wrapper of fatty tissue that keeps it safe from the constant shock and irritation that thin and nervous persons experience.
 Remember. Dr Richards's Dyspep- sia Tablets do not contain any nerve food" The nerve food is in eggs. beefsteak and bread and vegetables. What Dr Richards's Dyspepsia Tao lets do is to help the stomach to get this nerve food out of your ordinary everyday breakfast. dinner and sup per. Then your nerves take care of themselves and you should grow as good natured and contented as plump baby.

WHITE HOUSE CA!LD
YOUNGSTERS WHO HAVE LIVED AT PRESIDENTIAL RESIDENCE.
Jefferson's Grandson First Baby Born
 There-Willie and Tad Lincoln 3 Julia Dent Grant a White ts House Baby.

Though our theme is the White House child, and though Washington never lived at the White House, it would be sad omission to neglect mention of the children that dwelt in the home of our first president. Mrs. Washington's only son, John Parke Curtis. died of camp fever before York town, and his death left four children fathe-iess. Gen. Washington adopted the two youngest, Eleanor Parke Cur tis and George Washington Parke Cur tis. The home at Mount Vernon and the presidential home were gladdened with the presence of this boy and girl Nelly became a far-famed young lady, and both at New York and Philadel- phia the reigning belle. But as 1t is with boys and girls, not young ladies and gentlemen, we are concerned, we pass on to the other youngsters. The Adamses were grandparents ] when they came to the White House, had no children in their household. James Madison Randolph, grandson of
 
 President Jefferson, was the first child born in the White House Mrs. Ran dolph had a goodly family, and the one winter she spent at the executive mansion, 1S05-06, seven of her children were with her
 Andrew Jackson's private secretary, Maj Donelson. was married to the presidents adopted niece, and the cou- pie lived with the lonely occupant of the presidential mansion. Their four children were born at the White House and christened there with due cere- mony.
 During the Van Buren and William Harrison administrations no children played in the White House rooms, but presently troop of them came, chil- dren of Robert Tyler, whose wife, owing to the illness of Madam Tyler, assumed the duties of misress of the mansion. President Taylor had no young children, neither did President Fillmore. President Pierce's two sons cied before he came to the White House, and Buchanan was a bachelor. T

TAD LINCoLLN AND HIS FATHER.
 And now we are down to the time of the Lincolns.
 The Lincolns were accompanied to Washington by their three sons, Rob. ert, considerably the elder; Willie and
 Tad. An article in the New York Sun tells us: "The first two years of the administration the presidents chil- l dren were his greatest solace. The death of Willie occurred in February, 1862. On the evening of the 5th pub lie reception was held, and that night both Willie and Tad were i'll, Willie extremely so, and the presidents anx- iety was so great that he left the draw lng-room twice to go upstairs to see the children. When the entertainment had finally ended the president went to Willie's bedside and remained there al! night.
 Two weeks from that night Willie lied, and all who knew the president grieved with him over the loss of his son. After that event little Tad be- came an almost national pet. On the night the president was assassinated Tad's grief unnamed the stoutest hearts. He was dazed and could not be persuaded to desist from repeating continuously: They have killed papa dead; they have killed papa dead" Tad survived his father but few years. and died in Springfield at the age of l6. His fathers death was a shock from which he never entirely recov- cred"
 During Johnson's occupancy five grandchildren lived at the presidential residence. One, little Belle Patterson. celebrated there her ninth birthday in very great state. The Grants brough, 'our children, and while their daugh- ter Nelly was yet child she was intro dueed to society. President Grants grandchild.

A FAMILY ROW
 IN ACUIE FORM
The Case of the Haegermans Gets In-
 to the Court.

Nearly al! the courts of Phoenix were filled with the affairs of George Haggerman and wife yesterday and the disturbance finally eliminated in the filing by the wife, Helen Edith Haggerman, of petition for a divorce. That is the first that was generally known of any trouble in the Hagger- man family. It assumed an acute form about o'clock on Tuesday morn ing.
 On Saturday evening MT. Hagger- man who conducts a timing and plumbing business on North First avenue, took his books home with him to fix up his business for the past year and to make out his numerous bills against customers. It was in that way that he put in the Sabbath and the holiday.
 On Tuesday morning he left hur- Iledly for the store his wife saying that she would bring the books down about 9 o'clock She did not come but ci editors of MT. Haggerman began to arrive on the scene to make the month I ly collections. MT. Haggerman had not been able to get out among his debtors and so there was a congestion in the | avenue of finance.
 Haggerman hurried home to find out what was delaying his wife and the ! books. She told him that she now had him where she wanted him and was

ready to listen to any overtures he might have to make. Pending an agreement which would be satisfactory to her. she said the books had been put into . safe place. He offered no overture but went out, consulted Q lawyer and sought to have his wife arrested on a charge of embezzlement. A we-rant of that kind could not be issued but later in the day Justice Burnett decided in view of the eXigen- cies of the case, to issue a search war rant.
 The books were found in the posses sion of the Union Bank and Trust company and turned over to the court. There was discussion over the dis position of them after that and final ly it was requested on the part of Mrs Haggerman that she be allowed to sur render them. The court though turn cd them over to the husband.
 Later in tie day the divorce was filed The petition states that the parties were married at Cherokee, Ia. in 1902: that latterly the defendant had been guilty of cruelty and that he had some times come home as late as three o'clock in the morning. He haC
 told the plaintiff that she was foo | and had kicked her out of bed. One O. | the allegations of the complaint is thC ] fact of the attempt of the defendant tC i have the plaintiff arrested for em i bezzlement the dS-r before.

she gave it to them and it was for mally adopted. Tuesday she decided to go to Los Angeles, and MT. All dridge paid her in full for the time she had been in his employ. He fur ther insists that she had not less than thirty dollars that day, but where it went no one knows. She left his home early in the evening and that was the last seen of her by him until he was told of her death.
 There is considerable mystery at tached to the affair and probably all the particulars will never be known. While not, perhaps, a handsome. wo- man, she was nice looking and those with whom she had come in contact during her residence here, speak in the highest praise of her actions and conduct.
 Her father and brother who live in Midland, Texas, were wired yesterday, and the body is being held in Merry man 6 Moores undertaking parlors, where it was taken immediately after the accident, until they are heard from. The funeral, consequently, will not be held until a reply is received from them for it is understood that they are well to do people and will un doubtedly arrange for the funeral and interment of the body.

That Dr. Pierce'S Favorite Prescription is the only medicine sold through druggists for woman's weaknesses and peculiar all ments that does not contain large quantl- ties of alcohol?

I have had many calls of late for 5, 10 AND 20 ACRE TRACTS.

of land near enough to the business center of Phoenix so that a man could do business in the city and live on small place in the country. Having this in view I have purchased so acres lying 3-4 mile west of the fair ground on the Christy road. The ground lays just right for subdividing into ,, 10 and 20 acre tracts and each tract fronting on the Christy coun- ty roads. The soil is of the richest alluvial and of the best straw berry land in the valley. With the land there is water right in the Mar icopa canal and an independent lateral belonging exclusively to this tract of land, all the way from the canal to the land. 1 am going to put this tract on the market at $100 to $125 per acre for a short time. This is far below the value of land in this immediate vicinity and I am justified in saying that the surroundings are of the best in the valley. It also has the proximity of the street car to Phoenix. If you want something that will double in value in a year or two. Here is your chance.

LAYER EVIDENCE
 IN TEMPE TRAGEDY
Indicates that Death sWas Accidental
 Instead Of Suicidal.

There appears this morning in the Tempe department of The Republican an account of the inquest on the body of the unfortunate young woman who was killed there the night before. The evidence before the jury was sub stantially the same as that received a this office few minutes after the tragedy and the jury found that the young woman who was known as Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Renders, but who was Miss Harrington, threw herself under a M. & P. engine with suicidal intent.
 The Republican, however, received word last night that additional evidence had been discovered and that the in- quest would no doubt be reopened this morning. The new evidence tends to show that death was accidental. The new witnesses are a Mrs. Miller, boy who was within fifteen feet of the woman when she fell and two men whose names were not learned last night
 Their testimony will agree with that of the witnesses who testified up to the point of the falling beneath the engine. They said that Miss Har- ] depot and set her suit case down very close to the rails, so close in fact that it would have been struck by the train. She then moved back from it and when the train was approaching she hasten ed to it as if to pick it up. Just as sine touched it che appeared to stum- ble. It is the opinion of the witnesses that she intended to take the suit case and hurry to the depot where her trunk had been taken but had not been checked.
 This new story is consistent with the fact that she had bought a ticket for MaricoPa and had made all ar engagements to leave on the train which killed her. It agrees also with the testimony of MT. Aldrich with whose family she had been living that she had been at all times cheerful.
