+ In making comparisons in the lev
les under the old and the new tax laws
the years 1904 and 1sO6>must he used
instead of the years 1905 and 1905
as the new laws were partially In force
last year. The county levy in Marion
two years ago was GO cents ON the
hundred dollars. while this year 1t is
only IS cents ON the hundred The
road levies were 35 cents in all the
districts except Lincoln, where the
levy was rs cents. This year the road
leyies are 10 cents in all except Lin
coin, which shows only six cents for
1906. 1t will thus be seen that me
rate under the old laws was or the
average almost three and one.haL5
times what ii is under the new. II
a mans property has been increased
in valuation four times, his taxes will
be slightly increased. If his property,
personal and real, has only doubled in
valuation, his taxes will be material
Iy reduced. The workings of the new
laws are becoming SO plain that the
!wayfaring man and mary Democrats
can understand them. The tax
smiths are making home run this
year as sure as you live.

Trouble Ahead
rs INDICATED sY muTINY OF
TROOPS ON HEARING NEWS
FROM ST. PETERSBURG.

LONDON, July 25-The only sen.
satfonal news that has come through
from st. Petersburg to-day tells OF an
outbreak of armed revolution near
Tukum in the government OF cour
land one of the Baltic provinces, and
Of the mutiny of troops at Brest Lii
toysk. in the government of Grodno.
Both of these incidents are regarded
as important, Indicating the growth
of the revolutionary feeling and indi-
eating what may be expected when
news of the dissolution of the Douma
and the manifesto of deputies to the
Nation reach the outlying districts Of
the empire.

Al am with you fellows on the new
tax laws" said a prominent Democrat
fcS school man to the editor of the
West virgfnian an evening or two ago.
The school men see that once the cor
porate interests and well-to7do people
get to paying their proper share of
taxes there will be more money avail
able for schools and better salaries
for teachers. Teachers are sometimes
said to be theorists and not practical,
but the bread and butter side Of the
new tax laws appeals to them in a
very forcibIe manner, and that is why
they are with us on this very import
ant question.

acted WITH friendly consideration for
this Great corporation in liking It's
assessment At the rate It has. In fact
the Beard Bilt hardly escape the crit
icisms ofthose who are nnfriendly to

there is evidence that there will be an
attempt on The part OF the Democratic
newspapeFs az the state to indulge in
ADVERSE critcism Of the Board of
Public WORKS for not fixing the value
OF the property 81 the railroads at
their fuii tirnated. value. We think,
ON the contrary that the Board has
acted with great discretion. The Slate
owes much to the railroads for the de-
veiopment Of its Industrial wealth.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pro.
nounced it local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it inourable. Science has prov.
en- catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls

F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken
