CLOSING UP.
American Tariff Laws Are Bringing
RetaIiatory Action.

Washington. April 1.-THE reason
for the issue in Paris yesterday of the
decree imposing the maximum duties
on coffees imported from the United
States and Porto Rico is said at the
state department to be dissatisfaction
of the French government at the fail
ure of the United States senate to act
upon the French reciprocity treaty
which has been pending before that
body for several years. Added to this,
it is said, is a suspicion on the part
of French government that the nego-
tiations now in progress between the
United States and Germany relative to
the tariff upon American goods i'm
ported into Germany conceals some
advantage to be bestowed upon Ger
man trade with the United States in
which French trade is not to share.
This decree is regarded as the be-
ginning of a systematic effort to bring
such pressure to bear upon the Amer1-
can congress through the imposition
of restrictions upon the American ex-
port trade as will force the whole sub
ject of reciprocity uDon its attention
at the beginning of the next session.
The state department officials fear
that this French action is but the pre-
cursor of similar attacks upon Amer1-
can trade by other nations of Europe.
1t is apprehended that the effect of
the French decree will be disastrous to
Porto Rico, which at present finds al
most its only market for its conee IN
France now that the Spanish market
is closed by excessive duties.

WOODEN MILL EXPANDS
Increases Capital Stock to Enlarge
Business.

AT a meeting of the stockholders of
the Topeka w oolen Manufacturing
company held at the mill offices in
Oakland yesterday afternoon, the board
of directors were authorized to in
crease the capitalization of the COM
pany from $50 900 to $4,000 and the
charter of the company amended to
conform with the change.
The company will not place all of
the stock on the market or at least not
at the present time but part of it will
be kept in the treasury for expendi-
portion of the stock will be placed on
funds for improvements which are
contemplated at the present time.
A new dry house will be built at once
and adds to the fire risk and incidental
ly to the insurance. THE business of
the mill has so increased of late that
the issuance of new stock for the i'm
provement of the mill so that we can
keep up with our business said Mr.. E.
H. Crosby, president of the company.
Our business is now better than at any
other time in the existence of the mill
and everything indicates that it will
gradually increase.
I'VE find that it will be necessary for
us to install new machinery, and that at
once, so that we will be able to keep pace
with our increa sing business. We have
had charge of the mill year this month,
and since then have renovated the plant
and installed a set of new looms and
made other improvements which has in
creased the capacity of the plant about

NEW SCHOOL LAND SUIT.
This One Involves Eight Thousand
Dollars Worth of Land.

Another school land mandamus suit
was commenced today in the Kansas
supreme court, involving an attack upon
the constitutionality of the "caving law"
enacted at the last session of the legis-
lature. The suit is brought by Fred
Robertson and R. NJ. Jaqua against j.
A. VanDoren, county treasurer of Chey-
enne county There is $4,000 worth of
Cheyenne county land involved, in
which the plaintiffs claim an equity
worth s., 500.
Robertson and Jaqua bought up the
original certificates to four quarter sec
tions of land and rendered to VanDoren
81, 2o0in gold to pay up the delinquenc1es
on the land. VanDoren refused to &C
cept the money, claiming that the old
certificates had been legally forfeited
The mandamus suit is to compel him to
take the money.
The application for the writ sets forth
that the land is not occupied. and has
never been occupied since the original
certificates were issued.

Washington, April 1.-THE estab-

GIVEN A SURPRISE
Railroad Tax Commissioner Be-
fore State Board.
Put on Oath-Then Piled With
Questions.
FORCED TO ADMISSIONS
Returns Of Property AcknOWl-
edged to BE Inaccurate.
Mr.. Highleyman and Mr.. Cart
lidgs the Victims.

s. L Highleyman, tax commissioner
of the Missouri Pacific railway, was
astonished. no doubt, this morning
when thu state board of railroad asses
sors called him into its private room,
put him under oath and commenced to
ask Kim questions about the value of
Missouri Pacific railway property.
Moreover, the board had a stenogra-
pher present and took down everything
+ that Mr.. HIghleyman said.
The returns which Mr.. HighIeyman
had made to the state board of rail-
road assessors concerning the value of
Missouri Pacific property was one of
the documents in evidence This state
ment, like all similar statements made
to the board, are under oath. o When
Mr.. Highleyman commenced to give
verbal testimony it kept him busy ex
plaiYing things. He was Obliged to adj
forth the exact state of facts in a good
many particulars.
Mr.. Highleyman was questioned by
the members of the board of railroad
assessors closely for about an hour,
and impaired a good deal of valuable
Information. When the members of
the board finished the examination
they seemed to be considerably amused
about the result of the inquisition.
Attorney General Jackson, who is
enc of the members of the board of
assessors, conducted the examination,
but the other members of the board
chimed in with questions where they
thought they could help.
1t is likely that the tax commission
ers of other railroads will also be call
ed before the board to give sworn
testimony concerning the real value
of the property which they represent.
The sworn returns which the railroads
make. purporting to set forth the
value of their property are likelyztos
be considerably mussed up in the en-
counter.
At the recent session of the inter-
state commerce commission in Topeka,
Z. T. Cartilage of the Santa Fe was
put on the stand, and admitted that
the valuations in the statement sub
mitted by the Santa Fe were merely
nominal, and didn't mean much of
He said that the law did not
require that a valuation be made, but
that it was done simply as a matter
of accommodation
1t is a decidedly unusual proceeding
for the state board OF railroad asses
sors to put the tax commissioners of
the various roads under oath and COM
pei them to tell the whole truth about
the value of their property. The rail-
roads hardly know what TO make of it.
and the indications are that the pres
ent board of railroad assessors is pre-
pairing to present a valuation of KAN
sas railroads en- entirely new plans and
specifications.
All the testimony taken by the
board Will be transcribed, and copies
preserved for future reference

ing his title to a half section of school
land under his original certificate, Mr..
Spencer made deal with the new Dur-
chaser and has since been claiming title
under the new certificate instead of under
the one which he fought for in the
preme court.
The state claims that If Spencer takes
that attitude he is trifling with the de-
cision of the supreme court, and is liable
to the state for about $500. Judgment is
almost certain for that amount, but Spen-
Ger will probably have a counter claim
for damages, which will consume con-
siderable share of the overdue interest.

THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK.

Work has been mans lot since the creation, but day of toll should not have its penalty of pain. Why is it, then, you ask, that backache so often follows? It is because the modern tendency is to overwork. to tear Aown faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain is thrown upon the vital organs, and more especially upon the kidneys, which have the work of Altering the blood free of waste and poison.
 The heavy tax of overwork-the strain upon the back that is so com mon to many trades and occupations. is too great. The kidneys begin to fail in their work. and there Is double danger to health. The poison ous matter collects in the system, and the kidneys themselves begin to break down
 Pain in the back Is only a warning of trouble in the kidneys. An inflam- nation has set in, and a disordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent
