of weak eyes and trembling condition

These are only few of the great
variety of diseases which come from
an unbalanced nervous system, caused
by the persistent daily use of the
drug. caffeine, which is the active
principle of coffee. Another bit of
prima facie evidence about coffee is
that the victims to the habit find
great difficulty in giving it up.
They will solemnly pledge to them
selves day after day that they will
abandon the use of it when they know
that it is shortening their days, but
morning after morning they fail, until
they grow to despise themselves for
their lack of self control.
Any one interested in this subject
would be greatly surprised to make a
systematic inquiry among prominent

OBJECTION A JUST ONE.

Wayne county has a just objection
against-the proposed action of the state
tax board in increasing the valuation
of real estate 10 per cent. The as
sessments on real estate in Wayne
county now amount to 20 per cent OF
the Rehabilitation of all property and
in other counties the general assess
ment average shows that real estate
was assessed at from so to 60 per
cent. Wayne county does not object
to fair valuation on its real estate,
a higher assessment than the other
counties of the state. Furthermore,
during the past four years the total
gain on assessments on Wayne county
real estate amounted to $1,743,2 300
And in addition to this the state tax
board wishes to saddle us with a 10
per cent increase.
While the.state tax board is SO anx-
ious to raisesour assessments might be
Of extravaganza onthe part of our state
officials. During the last ten years
fthe assessments on corporations have
increased 40 or so per cent, bringing
! in greatly Increased revenue to the
state. During the same time the as
sessmentss on real estate have also in
creased. But with this increase in
receipts from taxes has come a CORE
spending increase in the amount re-
quired to run. our state government.
For example, every time the state leg
islatme meets, there are lot of po-
1itfcal heelers and hangerson who

given some soft snap job and paid for

The last general assembly saw fit to |
greatly increase salaries and to orig

and the money must come from taxes.
hence the frantic efforts of the state
tax board to increase assessments. 1t
is only right that the eyes. of the people

Bedford, Ind, July 26.-The temper
ance crusade caused by the raid on
the Elks' club room recently began in
earnest when the trial of Rural Rich
ardson, custodian of the Elks club, on
the charge of selling liquor in the
club rooms, began before Mayor Stipp.
The defendant took change of
venue to Judge Isenminger. A large
number of witnesses were examined
on both sides and after the arguments
of Prosecutor Fletcher and Attorney
Underwood, for the state and Attor-
neys s. B. Lowe and w. e. Clark, for
the Elks, Judge Isenminger took the
case under advisement. He said he
would reconvene the court and an
nounce his decision later. The trial
was attended by a large number of
temperance workers and women Of
the w. G. T. u, as well as many Elks
and their friends.
Never before has Bedford been so
wrought up by liquor fight. Practi-
caliy all of the citizens in the town are
taking sides on the question. The en-
tire movement is due to a raid made
by the police on the Elks club room.

Found His Old Nurse Here.

When Henry Thruston left Versailles,
Mo, in 1860 to join the Confederate
army one of those who wept with his
family at his departure was Louisa, the
n.yro woman who had been his nurse.
Many times when he was a baby she had
rocked him to sleep, humining the tunes
she often SUM to her own little black
p~ickaninnies. And when Henry grew
up and went to California in lS49 to look
for gold, Louisa packed his clothes and
told him to watch out for the Indians.
The young maj fought through the
wal and when General Lee surrendered
he laid down his gun and wen his way
as other men did. 1t was thirty years
until Henry Thruston returned to Yer
%sailles, his home town, and then he
found that Louisa, his old nurse had
moved away.
Thruston came to Kansas City two
weeks K to visit his n~ieces, Mrs. II. A.
Curtin, 1902 Wabash II and Mrs.
W. V. Flanery, 5000 Wabash avenue.
He is an unusually tall man, Z feet and
IN inches in height. The Star printed
his picture two weeks ago. Louisa
Thruston, an aged negro woman living
at 62S Tracy avenue, saw the picture
Friday and recognized tile Henry that
she had nursed long before the war. Her
daughter took her to Mrs Flanery's
home that night where he was visiting.
WHEN LOUISA FOUND HENRY.
When Louisa opened the door and be-
held the man she had not seen for forty.
seven years she reached his side in one
bound, which was quite lively consider
ing that she is 90 years old. Louisa
wept for joy. She clapped her hands as
doubtless, she did when first she got

Henry. where you been all these years

she would sit down and then she drew q
chair close beside Henry and they talked

Finally she left. vowing that she would
