0bituary-Isaae Z. Galland.

Isaac H. Galland was born in the State
of Iowa December II. 1857; died in
Medicine Lodge. Kansas. November 5,
1907, aged 40 years, 10 months and
IA days. For the past twenty years he
has been known among our people but
has not resided here continuously, having
spent part Of his time in Oklahoma. Col
orado and Idaho. He was a man Of
sterling honesty and was respected and
esteemed by all who knew him. At the
early age Of 10 he united with the Bap-
tist church in Iowa and lived christian
life ever since that time. He believed
that the best way to prove his religion
was to practice it in his daily life and no
man ever had the remo.est cause to doubt
his sincerity.
He was united in marriage to Ida Nor
Ian December 7, 1884, in Sumner coun-
y. Kansas, and soon thereafter they came
to Barber county. In her sad hour, in
the loss Of her devoted and loving hus-
band, the profound sympathy Of the COM
munlty Is extended to the bereft widow.
AS stated several times in these col
umns, MIR. Galland a short time ago met
the great misfortune of losing his eyesight
by reason Of paralyzation Of the optic
nerve. The paralysis crept over the en-
tire system and ended his life. His suffer-
ing in the last few days of his life was
almost unendurable but with patience in
describable and his face niumphantly to
the future he met the last enemy even as
patriot goes to war.
The funeral was held at the Baptist
church Wednesday afternoon. Rev. F.
S. Atwell preached an excellent discourse,
music was furnished by specially Sc
lected choir, and prayer and scripture
reading were offered by Rev. F. c..
Ward.
Mr.. Galland was a member Of the
Knights and Ladies of Security and car
red $4,000 insurance in that order.

Outwalked the ''Scanty."

Our old friend, Judge Lester, Of Lake
City, is a pretty good man yet. even if
his pate is smooth and his whiskers white.
He lit out" last Wednesday morning
and matched himself against our best
ever scrap iron engine that makes the
run between Athca and Belndere and
beat it from Belvidere to Sun, distance
Of ten or twelve miles. There have been
instances before when young men have
outrun the flyer" but this is the first
time man who has passed the 10Th
milestone outdistanced it by more than
three hours in twelve-mile race. The
Judge has earned bunch Of daisies.

Occasionally some Of our friends drop
IN and chide the publishers Of this paper
because they supported. the railroad bonds
IN 1905 and now find fault with the
railroad company because Of the poor
service the road gives. We do not de-
sire to be misunderstood in this matter.
We are not opposed to railroad building.
we recognize that country without rail-
roads is not worth much, we are glad
the road has been built and do not regret
having supported the proposition but we
do insist that IN all fairness the company
is morally bound to give the county re-
spectacle service, especially since the peo-
pie donated 100000 on twenty years
interest In order to secure the road. From
Guthrie to kiowa, between which two
points scarcely any aid was given. the
company gives the people excellent ser
vice, but from kiowa to Belvidere,where
the aid was extended, the service Is rot
ten. We will not say that It IS as bad
as no service at all. but It is as bad as It
could be and s6ll be m operation. This
paper IS not sore" because it advocated
the bonds. It IS not sore" on railroads,
for they are public necessity. but il M
s;sts that since the people Of Barber coun-
~ have discharged their obligation il Is
up to the railroad company to meet its.
obligation to the people.

The state tax commission have sent
out a circular letter to the county COM
missioners and county clerks Of the vari-
Gus counties throughout the state, advis-
ing caution in the matter Of valuations
and tax levies under the new tax law
which goes into efed in January 1908.
The commission urges that all property
be listed and put on the tax roll but it
recommends particularly that tax levies
be kept down to the lowest practical
level 1t says that no more money should
be raised for defraying public expense
than was last year but it overlooks max
ing suggestion as to what should be
done IN debt-ndden cihes IN which the
combined power Of cash valuation and
the maximum levy viii not Iiquidate the
public Indebtedness. Where the legis-
lature fell down was IN not limiting the
maximum levy when they regulated val
uations. Under the law as il now stands.
it IS possible for taxation authorizes to
levy taxes on community twice as great,
and m some cases thribble, as the cur
rent interest rate, and that IS clearly con-
6scation.

The Hazelton Herald calls the Cresse,
down hard for asserting that Medicine
Lodge gets its mail as soon and as often
as Hazelton does. Hazelton has no more
lines Of railroad than Medicine Lodge
and yet gets four times the service. This
would not be so if all the people Of
Medicine Lodge would stand together
and demand good service. But, as this
paper has often stated, as long as we
have men who are influential IN a busi-
ness and political sense.who give il out that
the service IS good enough the COM
pany will probably make no effort to mn
prove it.

GENERAL PREVALENCE
 OF INDIFFERENCE
The Early Action of the Stock Market
 Quickly Passed Away.

New York. June 1s.-Listless indif- ference was the dominant tone of the stock market today. There was some extension of the early dealings of yesterdays upward movement. but by the expiration of the first hour all buying orders had been executed and left the market easily unalterable. There was subsequent reaction. Some disappointment was professed by operators in Reading over the ac- tion of the directors of the Central New Jersey in declaring only a regular quarterly dividend on that stock. Reading and Union Pacific so far ov- ershadowed the whole market in ac- tivity that their reaction carried the prices as a whole downward. Cheer full reports from the crop regions and the favorable weekly bulletin of the weather bureau did not avail to ar rest the reactionary tendency. Small declines resulted generally from the days business. Bonds were un- changed.

BRONCHIAL TROUBLES.
Readily Yield to Soothing. Healing
 Treatment of Hyomei.

Bronchial troubles are purely local. They cannot be helped by stomach dosing. They are caused by irritation in the air passages and can be re- lieved and cured by medicated air alone. In this lies the secret of the great success of Hy-o-mei in the treat ment of bronchial troubles
 The Hy-o-mei medication. laden with natures remedies, is breathed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, reaching ev- cry part of the bronchial tubes and killing at once the disease germs. IL allays all irritation and heals the in flammation of the mucous membrane with astonishing rapidity.
 Treatment with sprays. touches and atomizers in bronchial troubles is con- demned by the best physicians. as they cause further irritation.
 The first breath of Hy-o-mei's medi- cated air seems to soothe the inflam- mation.' stop the cough. and thus re- lief soon becomes permanent and a cure results.
 Hy-o-mei has made many remark able cures in the worst and most chr6nIc forms of bronchial troubles and is sold by the Larson Drug Co. with the same guarantee as they give when Hy-o-mei is purchased for cat arrh that is. to refund the money in case the remedy does not give satis- faction. The complete outfit costs but s1.00.

line as fixed between Maricopa and Yuma was about three and half miles too far west and that between the northern Maricopa line and Bill Will Hams Fork the difference was slightly less. By direction of Surveyor General Ingalls,. MT. Elliott has resurveyed this line and has found that instead of three miles and d half, the difference is about two miles ard . half. It is
 understood however. that before any final adjustment is made, there will be another survey or a checking of this enc to determine it's accuracy. The original survey was made in 1889 by w. NJ. Breckenridge and a man named Hicks. There were few settlers in that section then, and nobody cared a great deal about boundary lines, but with the present development of the mines in that region it is becoming a ques- tion of considerable importance.
 Another and similar question is found in an old dispute between Mar icopa and Yavapai concerning the boundary that separates them. It is not believed that there is much foun- dation for the arguments of Yavapai, but if her claim should be found valid. it would mean the loss of great deal to this county in taxes. The Yavapai contention is that the western part of the boundary line is too far north by a mile or two, and that if it were cor rected Wickenburg would be found in Yavapai county.
 Wickenburg is too good a town for Maricopa to lose without a fight. and not only Wickenburg, but a great deal of valuable mining country east and west of there is also jeopardized in the same way. The Pioche mining dis trict east of Wickenburg now bumps up to the line and some fine proper ties are located very close to where the line now generally accepted runs. Wickenburg is the chief mining set tlement in this county and in close proximity to the line are some of the mines that are expected to make both Wickenburg and Maricopa county famous.

MASKED MAN HOLDS UP
 A BOY FOR A HORSE
A Bold Midday Robbery Was Com mitted Yesterday at the La Veta Ranch.

An unknown masked man committed two serious crimes yesterday at one motion-highway robbery and grand larceny. The affair was reported to the sheriff's office late last night by the victim a young man or boy of six teen employed by John Northcutt the owner of the La Veta ranch east of the Indian school on the Cave Creek road.
 The Northcutt family was away from home and the boy who had been rid ing about the country on horseback returned to the ranch exactly at noon. He dismounted and led the horse to- ward the barn. Just before he reach ed it a man came out of it with a Handkerchief over his face and re- vOlver in his hand. He told the boy he wanted the outfit and met with no objection. He mounted the horse and told the boy to get on behind. That request was compiled with un- murmumingly and the man set off in the direction of Camelback.
 He crossed the Cross-cut canal on a bridge near the junction with the Arizona canal and then he told the boy to get off and directed him with an oath 10 retrace his steps and not look back. The man had held the re- volver in his hand all the time. The boy started off and when he thought he had gone a safe distance he looked back and ssH the man riding along the road OF the seuth side of the Ari- zona canal. The boy was about four miles from home and eight miles from town. He reported the robbery as
