Last Friday the supreme court
of the state handed down a deci-
sion that is Of great Importance
to the state. The inheritance tax
law, which several probate judges
in the state had declared uncon-
stitutional, was declared valid.
This is the fourth Inheritance tax
law passed in the state, three
former ones having been declared
unconstitutional. The law which
is now in force does not tax es-
tates as a whole but takes each
separate bequest. The first $780,
900 of each estate is exempt. On
sums above that the tax is pro-
gressive, being u per cent from
$4,000 to $780, 3per cent from
$4,000 to 100000, and per
cent above that amount. At the
present time there are estates
valued at over eight million dol
lars that are liable for taxation.

An important Reform Bill.

A bill of Importance has been intro
duced into Congress, prohibiting the
issue of United States liquor licenses
in communities in which the sale OF
liquor is prohibited by State or local
law.
The Hon. A. A. Wiley, of Alabama,
who introduced the bill, feels that it
is essential to have the support OF
temperance organizations, ministers,
and Christians generally. He fears
that the need of the government to
raise revenue by these licenses will
blind Congress to the evident fairness
of the bill. He suggests that the en-
dOrsement of the President would be a
great gain, and the temperance super
intendent of the Maryland Christian
Endeavor Union, Mr.. E. D. Carhart,
proposes to ask each minister in that
state to write to President Roosevelt,

WOMAN.

Nations differ in nothing more than
in their women.
You will never know what a woman
Is unless you suffer very much.
Women do not love Napoleons. They
love mere middle class mediocrities.
Men who want to found empires do
not want the higher development Of
woman.
You will in vain search history for
great man who has not been influ-
enced by great woman.
In America the woman governs the
man absolutely. In certain sense the
last man that came to America was
Christopher Columbus.
The American woman lives for what
she calls "a good time" Her interest
is not man nor what is nohlest in man
paternity. Her ambition is to study
spiritualism, then Buddhism, then wire
less telegraphy and then the novels Of
Marie Corelli.-Dr. Emil Reich in a
London Lecture.

Who Were the Next of Kin?

"A curious case was tried in England
about century ago to decide the ques-
ton OF next of kin. Job Taylor, GUAR
termaster in the Royal artillery, was
drowned, with his wife Lucy. in try-
ing to save her after shipwreck. He
had made will leaving all that he
possessed to her, but as she did not
live to give tine will effect a dispute
arose among their next Of kin as to the
proper disposal of the estate. which
was valued at $4,000.
It had been ruled, in conformity
with a principle of the Roman civil
law, that when two persisted together
in a common calamity and it was un-
certain which was for time the sur
vivor the decision should favor which
ever was the more robust. IN this case
the wife had distinctly the better con-
stltuuon. but as against this it was
urged that, as he plunged in to save
her, she probably expired first. After
lengthy arguments the judge held that,
though strong in constitution, the wife
would probably have been more timid
than her soldier husband and granted
administration to his next of kin.

where he will make his future home,
having shipped his household goods

During this ride had for companion
a man who could relate incidents from
the lives of the James and Younger
brothers, and showed me the place
where Jesse and Frank James were
born, also the station, Winston, where
Jesse shot and killed a conductor.
He related that one time while he was
on the train from St. Louis to Kan

the Youngers held up the train and
after robbing the passengers laid down
their revolvers and ordered supper.
While they were eating the train was
speeding along, but when they were

to charge it up to Uncle Sam and then
got Off.
At one place in Missouri I left the

According to a Cloquet paper
there are good prospects for the
development of coal fields in Carl
ton county, Minnesota. Two
Duluth prospectors are running
drills on the ground and have
secured a number of options on
land supposed to be coal bearing.
A number of farmers in the
vicinity have also sunk test pits
and found good indications of the
presence of coal in paying guam
titles. If this proves true it will
certainly be a great boon to our
state.
