farmer would suffer by the
change but the members of the
tax mission do not expect
any such contingency. The
assessors throughout the state
are finding thousands of dollars
worth of personal property that
has never been taxed before.
The majority of men now feel
certain that everyone will pay
their rightfu1 share of taxes so
they do not hesitate in turning
in their personal property.
In a dozen counties that have
already been heard from the
new personal property listed for
taxation this year amounts to
more than the total valuations of
property in the county the year
before. In some instances new
property has been listed amount
ing to twenty times the total
valuation of all personal property
in the same section in previous
years. No one will doubt the
assertion that the listing of all
this property is going to reduce
the assessments this year and
that with a valuation OF 100000
900 last year increased to 4,000,-
OOG, 600 this year that the amount
of taxes any person will pay will
be much less than heretofore
except to those who have been
lodging taxes in years gone by
and who will get caught in. the
assessment this year.
Several persons have tried to
hide some of their property this
year but there are now a dozen
perjury cases in the courts
where people swore to false val
uations. The tax conn mission
has given strict instructions
that when as assessor finds
man has not listed his property
correctly that the prosecutions
should begin at once. The few
cases which have been brought
have proved to be salutary in
huence on would-be tax dodgers
for they think twice before TAX
ing a chance.

Sheriff Lostutter took the
liquor out of the jail last Satur-
day morning and proceeded to
destroy it by breaking the bot
ties. This is the liquor taken a
few days ago from the railroad,
mention of which was made last
issue. The parties to whom it
was sent were notified to appear
before Judge Lucas, but they
made default and the court OF =
dered the destruction. Now,
parties who are in the habit of
handling liquor in this town had
better be mighty careful here
after; and the bootlegger had
better make his getaway

fighting the bourbon hierarchy.
These Republicans find Reput-

ratio bourbons bound together
fighting progress. Bristow, in
the senate, will fight them. He
does not worship Aldrich and

his own master. Long-but
why make the contrast? It is
obvious. Long is proud of it..
His friends defend it. He gets
power by joining the bourbons;
power insures patronage, and

much adverse comment over his
scheme. Long is sending thous-
ands of letters into the state.
On none of these letters does he
pay postage the letters being
sent under personal frank.
This frank is supposed to be
used only for official and the let
tiers that Long is sending out
are not official but purely per-
sonal business correspondence.
In addition to this. the govern
ment furnishes all the stationery,
and the clerks who write the
letters are on the government
payroll. In reality, Long is not
paying a cent for this campaign,
while his opponent, j. l.. Bris-
tow, is at great expense in maxi
ing his campaign as he has to
pay for his stationery and he
has to pay postage on each one
of these letters. But Bristow is
making progress. He is max
ing friends wherever he goes
and he keeps moving all the
time. He does not make a
speech very often but he visits
around with the voters. Bris-
tow has a long public record
that any man would be proud of
and he has no trouble convincing
men that he is suited for the
place and if past record is worth
anything as a basis, he is expec-
ted to make good senator

The Tax Law.

While most people realize that
Hhe present tax law is going to
do great amount of good in
ahat it will get much larger
amount of property on the tax
roll than ever before there has
been some comment recently
aelating to the railroad assess
znents. The railroads general
l,ave returned their property at
iron three to four times the
valuations heretofore fixed for
assess ment purposes. 1t is a
good guess that the tax COM
anissioncrS will increase these
values to some extent to bring
abe valuations of all the lines up
40 the same basis.
The objections to the law seem
10 come chiefly from politicians
who are taking an exceptional
interest in the welfare of the
farmers. They maintain that
the valuations of the farmers
properties will be increased six
10 eight times while the railroad
Valuations will be increased not
over four times This probably
rs true in many counties but the
average rate Of assessment
throughout the state is about
e,ne-fourth of the actual value of
1he property. If no additional
Etreperty were placed on the tax
-s-lis Il is very evident that the

Sleep

Sleep is natures re-
building period, when the
energy used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re-
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed of
the strength sleep should
give. Continued loss of
sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
ical wreck. DIR. Miles
Nervine quiets the irri-
tated nerves and brings
refreshing, invigorating
sleep. Nervine contains
no opiates, and therefor
leaves no bad after-effects.
''For over two years I suffered un-
told agonies; my friends thought I
was going crazy. I could not sleep
nor rest at all. I tried different doc
tors, but failed to find relief My
head would ache all the time; I was
like one drunk; could not concentrate
my mind. and was so restless and
worried that sleep was out Of the

been rather sad and depressing to
him; for the war was progressing

not disappointed.

TRIBE OF CRIMINALS.
The Maghaya's Greatest Pride is Sue
Ccssful Burglary.

The Maghaya is born in an arhar
field and schooled to theft from his
infancy. He lives without shelter or
food for the morrow, perpetually
moving from encampment TO encamp-
ment, chased by the police and exc
Grated by the villagers. His great
est pride is a successful burglary,
and a prolonged drinking bout his
most coveted reward.
Jail offers no terrors to the Dom;
it is merely the result OF being a
bungler at his trade. The first at
tempt to reclaim the Maghaya Doms
in Champarun was made by Mr..
(now Sir T.. Henry. He found the
greater number of the adult men,
bers OF the tribe were in Jail. Every
police officer was held responsible il
any Doms were found in his juris-
diction. with the result that as soon
as Dom was released from Jail he
was usually returned thither under
the bad livelihood sections.
Agricultural settlements were
established for the tribe, but they do
not seem to have been very success

Elements serve as houses for the

seldom found in them.
