THAT STATE DEBT.

The Syndicate press has gone to ly-
ing again.
1t proclaims that Mr. Wilkinson and
his following are opposed to paying
the State debt.
That Mr.. Wilkinson and his follow
ing want to continue the payment OF

The Syndicate press has been caught
in trap, and now practice mendaclty TO
escape the consequences.
The Caucasian has demonstrated from
actual figures
That it will require the sum OF
S.. 10000 annually for SIX years to
liouidate the State debt when due Ill
1914
That in order to produce that sum on
the present assessment it must require
four mills levy of the six allowed by
| he Constitution.
| That if that rate was employed there
! would be nothing near the sum required
eft to carry on the State government.
! That if Sanders scheme TO pay the
debt in iGI4 was carried out the assess

and submitted to because a rate reduc-
ion is promised. would have to be III
creased to at least eight hundred million

nature. Young Perkins had an old claim
against Woods, which Woods had re-

(who was under the influence of hquor)
saw Jolly and Woods. this trouble was
renewed.

HERE'S A CHANCE FOR HURLEY.
Kansas City Man Nearly Kills Another
With a Hcndshake.

Kansas City, Nov. Nicholas
Steppen of Kansas has joined the anti
handshaking club. Nicholas stepped
off a train at the Belt Line depot,
Twenty-first street and Grand avenue,
yesterday morning and walked up to
a saloon on Fifteenth street AS he
opened the saloon door he met a
friend of his. This friend was en-
thusiastic over seeing Steppen and
grasped his hand in a vigorous friend
ly shake. In his enthusiasm he shook
hands so hard that his Kansas friend
lost his balance and fell.
Stephens hand struck cuspidor,
breaking it and cutting a cash on the
back of his hand three inches long. A
police surgeon was called and the
hand dressed. AS the surgeon walked
away he heard the Kansan say:
I'm from Kansas. but I'll be
burned il I have ever felt such grip
in our state"
