Tax Might Be Resisted.

1t is pointed out that the measure
will probably be attacked by the near
beer dealers and manufacturers on
these grounds, with the chances of
success attending their efforts.
At the same time it is we'll under
stood that the dealers in this com
modify would not object to paying
a reasonable license tax to the state.
The imposition of such a tax would
give them a firmer standing before
the law. AS things are now they do
not know where they stand and do
not know at what moment they may
be hauled before the court for viO-
latiOn of the prohibition law because
Of the discovery that there is an al
legged excess of alcohol in the product
which they are dispensing.
1t is possible they might submit
to even an illegal tax in order to
acquire that standing, but then there
are always DIRECTORS and there is lit
tie doubt that a test case would be
made in some quarter.
If the state fails to realize revenue
from this source for the support and
maintenance of the cOnvicts it is
difficult to figure out just what it
will do to supply the deficiency.

12O,OOO,OOO eggs were produced in

At least 70 per cent. of the people
of the county raise poultry. 1t is

Between the ages of fifteen and
forty-fve, the time when womanhood
begins and motherhood ends, it is
estimated that the aggregate term
of woman's suffering is ten years.
Ten years out of thirty! One-third
of the best part of a womans life
sacrificed! Think of the enormous
loss of time! But time is not all
that is lost, Those years of suffer
ing steal the bloom from the cheeks,
the brightness from the eyes, the
fairness from the form. They write
their record in many a crease and
wrinkle. What boon then to wo-
man is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. 1t promotes perfect regu-
larity, dries up facilitating drains,
heals liberation, cures female weak
ness and establishes the delicate wo-
manly organs in vigorous and perma-
nent health. No other medicine can
do for woman what is done by DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

SCION OF SOLOMON AND sHEBA
Is Begging a Hand-Out of Hot Dog
in Detroit


Can you imagine a lineal descend
ant of King Solomon and the Queen
of Sheba wandering around Detroit
and begging for a 'hand-out" of
'hot dog?" That is what you are
asked to do, in a dispatch from the
Michigan city. The story runs that
a Detroit butcher was cutting sau-
sage in his stall when a black man
in ragged clothes and with a foreign
accent asked for a bite and told him
he was very hungry. Go around
the corner to the McGregor mission, !"
said the butcher. Ut will be borne
in mind that in the north things to
eat are not handed out readily to
black men in ragged Clothes they
are told to go to the missions.) At
the McGregOr mission the black man
in the ragged clothes declared that
he was Prince PulawharOo, crown
prince of Abyssinia and destined sue
cessor to Emperor Menelik, his I'M
Gle. His father, said the prince in
rags, was the brother of Menelik,
who, as we all know, traces his an
cestry straight back to the great
Solomon and the Queen of Sheba
The prince, it seems, had fallen into
the hands of Philistines in New York,
had wandered to Chicago and tried
his hand at peeling hogs at the stock
yards, and had taken his turn as a
deck hand on one of the lake steam
ers running to Detroit With it all,
he seems to have taken a pretty big
slump from where his family started

WONDERFUL KANSAS CORN.
Crop the Best That State Has Seen
in Many Years.

Kansas corn is exceptional in
growth this year Husking will be
more troublesome than usual because
stalks are higher than ever, aveIS g
ing IL to Is feet in most of the
fields, and the farmers say this will
cause the stalks to break, as the ears
are usually above the halfway l.ne
on the stalks. The ears are of great
weight and will tend to pull the
stalk down. For the first time in
years the ears prOtrude through the
husks, and the grain is we'll filled
entirely to the end of the cob 1t is
the most wonderful corn year central
Kansas has seen in many years,
