WHEAT IS DAMAGED.
Secretary Smiley of Grain Dealers
Association Makes Report.

E. J. Smiley, secretary of the State
Grain Dealers association had given
out a report on the wheat conditions,
winch shows that the damage to wheat
IN southern Kansas by green bugs and
drouta has been severe. He estimates
the present condition to be SS.7
Follow1ng is Mr.. Smiley's report:
reports received at this office from
over 200 correspondents in the state
show that the growing wheat crop IN
the two southern tiers of counties has
been damaged from 20 to 40 per cent
Reports as follows: Sumner county
damaged 80 per cent; Sedgwick, 25 per
cent; Bourbon, % per cent; Comanche,
70 per cent; CoWley, 25 per cent; Clark,
~ per cent; Chautauqua, 40 per cent
Harper; 20 per cent; Kingman. rs per
ion, so per cent; Neosho, 25 per cent
Barber. 80 per cent; Labette, 25 per
cent; Cherokee, 25 per cent.
There is a wide difference in opinipr
as to the cause of this damage Some
correspondents claim that the green
bug is entirely responsible for the dam
age, while others claim it is caused
from lack of moisture.
THE green bug is to be found in
practically ali of the wheat fields south
of the main line of the Union Pacific
but no damage is reported from the
large wheat fields in the central part
agree that wheat has reached a critical
stage and is turning yellow from lack
of moisture, although no material dam
age has resulted north of the fourth
standard parallel.
Reports from Cowley, Sumner and
Chautauqua advise that the green bug
has isappeared, while the counties Ill
rectly north advise that the green bug
has put in an appearance in large num-
bers, and even as far north as Marion
and Ellsworth counties the green bug
is reported. She Tld we have heavy
rains within the next few days and
seasonable weather a part Of this dam
age may be repaired, but it is doubt
full whether the southern part of the
state can produce more than twC-thirds
of a crop.
Report April 20 shows the condition
of the growing wheat crop to be SS.7.
Amount of wheat remaining in farm
ers' hands and country elevators, April

not include the wheat stored in the

Amount of corn remaining in farmers

where are brought back to life and
health without drugs or surgical oper-

manner.
People are brought here in baggage
cars on stretchers, crutches, wheel

plaster casts and surgical appliances of
all kinds; others. Frustrated from

kidney diseases, sciatica, rheumatism

mental and physical.
Many find speedy relief and are Of

FIND TWO MILLION
Railroad Assessors Do Well in
Their Search.
The Katy Facts Dragged Out OF
Mr-HhOrWin.
SHORT I'm MATERIAL.
Over One Hundred Thousand
Dollars Worth Unearthed.
Used Different Plan In Kansas
Than Elsewhere.
SHORT In MATERIAL.

Just about a million dollars worth OF
unreported railroad property belong
ing to the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railway, and another million dollars
worth of rolling stock chargeable to
the Santa Fe, was the net result of the
Friday work of the state board of rail-
road assessors. Two million dollars a
day in property not heretofore assess
ed is not such a bad haul. 1t pro bly,
means upwards of 100000 additional
taxes each year.
The admissions upon which the M.
K. & 7. figures are based were drag
ged out of G. S. Sherwin, tax commits
sioner, and J. NJ. Gibbons, storekeeper
of the katy company.
Mr.. Sherwin was questioned con-
corning the assessment of the COM
pany'S rolling stock, and was forced
to admit that the amount of rolling
stock credited to Kansas was absurdly
low.
1.-THE only reason I made that kind
of return" said Mr.. Sherwin, lis that
1 have always made the same kind of a
return before and the board has never
questioned it. 1 thought it would be

it to $3.50.

well. not on this basis you are
figuring on, 1 suppose" admitted the
katy" representative.
The total mileage of the NJ. K. &, T.
IS 3,073, of which 433 is in Kansas
The total value of it's rolling stock, on
the basis of valuation fixed by the
board in 1906, is $6,99O,I4O, and in
1906, the total assessed value of the
Kansas rolling stock was $2S5,OOO.
These figures show that while the road
has 4-30 of its mileage in Kansas it
gives Kansas only 1870 of its rolling
stock. Instead of having $2S5,022,
Kansas should have $1,142,0OO, and
should have had a similar increase for
at least five years past All of these
facts were brought out in Mr.. Sher-
wins testimony.

SUICIDE AT SEA.
Former President of Delaware and

New York, April 27.-David Wilcox,
former president of the Delaware and
Hudson railroad company committed
suicide at sea last Wednesday while
passenger on the North German Lloyd
steamer Barbarossa, according to re-
port made by Captain Langranter at
midnight. .E
The Barbarossa arrived at quaran-
tine last evening from Genoa and
Naples. Upon the arrival of the liner
it was reported that Mr.. Wilcox had
died of heart failure. AS he had been
known to be in i'll health and had gone
abroad recently in the hope of recup-
Grating, it was no great surprise to his
friends to learn that he had sue
cumbed.
Subsequent investigation, however,
according to the captain developed
evidence that Mr.. Wilcox had shot

Mr.. Sherwin admitted, under the
questioning of Attorney General Jack
son, that all the Kansas material is
stored at Parsons. and that he made
his returns on it's value on the basis
of the insurance carried. He said the
insurance represented IS per cent of
the full value, so Is per cent was cut
off at the start. He then stated that
he cut off so per cent more, on the
ground that part of the material

"Then why should you not return it

J. NJ. Gibbons. the storekeeper of
the company at Parsons, was then put
on the stand. Mr.. Gibbons is an Irish
man. with good rich brogue. he
made by Mr.. Sherwin were based on
insurance carried a year ago, and that
the stock has increased $4,000 since
then. He also stated that there was
$4,000 worth of brass, copper, lead,
anthony and other indestructible
metals stored in his warehouse which
was not insured, and consequently not
returned for assessment. He also ad-
mitted that the company mad ABOUT
SOB 600 worth of second hand material

gerald, "that you have about a quar-

said the big Irishman, frankly.
Last Shot at Mr.. Cartilage.
E. T. Cartilage, tax commissioner
of the Santa Fe. was on the stand for
this was probably his farewell ap-
pearance before the board. He
seemed to be glad to say farewell Mr.
Cartilage looks several years older
since the hostilities broke out.
However, his interview with the
board yesterday was very pleasant
and satisfactory. He brought out
large grist of figures on the subject
of rolling stock assessment. Appar-
entity he had figured on this PROPOSE
ton from almost every conceivable
standpoint, and had the results boiled
down and pre-digested ready for the
boards consumption.
He showed that the total value of
all the Santa Fe rolling stock, accord
ing to the master mechanics standard
Of valuation, is $36.9O4.529, of which,
IN a mileage basis, 26.43 per cent
should be credited to Kansas. This
would credit to Kansas $9,755,22S in
rolling stock, which on a one-third
basis would be $3,953,130. The
amount of the assessment on rolling
stock last year was $2,643,S72. Hence
The mileage basis of assessment would
probably increase the Santa Fe about
1 million dollars.
The Santa Fe people think that 4
ear mileage basis would be much
more equitable to them, on account
IF the fact that their rail mileage in
Kansas is very heavy. On car mile
age basis Mr.. Cartilage figured that
he assessment would be S2.737.323.
