Of the best things as it gave good re-

The additions during the time from Octo-
Der to April, being about thousand a
month in revival work, % churches in
Kansas during the evangelistic period

Jason c. WadswOrth Dead

Jason c. Wadsworth died at the home
Of his son, B. E. Wadsworth. one and
one-half miles northwest Of this city at
4:45 p. m, Thursday. May 7, 1908,
aged "a years, 8 months and ] days.
For several years Mr.. Wadsworth's
health has not been good and for the
past year he required almost constant at
tention. On the night previous to his
death, he became much worse than usual
and it soon became evident that life was
ebbing away.
The funeral was held at the residence
at 4 clock p. m, Saturday. conducted
by Rev. H. c. Duckett, pastor Of the
Presbyterian church of this city, and the
remains laid to rest in Highland cemetery.
The deceased was a native of New
York state, born at Hopewell, August
30, 1923. At the age Of twenty-one
years he removed to Illinois and in 1916
was married to Isabel Moore. To this
union two children were born, one Of
whom, Mrs. Flora E. Wadsworth, is Still
living and resides at Alta, Iowa. Mr..
Wadsworth's first wife died in the
year of 1858. He was married again
March 4, 1861. to AdaIine Ellis in
Boone county, Illinois. and to this union
were born three children, B. E. and F.
]. Wadsworth and Mrs. Laura Lindley,
who reside at Medicine Lodge.
Mr.. Wadsworth and family came to
Medicine Lodge in January, 1879 and
settled on the homestead northwest Of
this city where he died. This was home
to him in all that the simple word por-
trays. He saw and battled with all the
hardships known to frontier Life but when
better times came he was the more rec
ompensed for the sacrifices made.
He had fund Of general information
and business foresight acquired by few
men in his day and to these traits. coup,
led with his superior thrift and Sterling
integrity, were due his great success If
life. He was known by all the old set.
tiers Of Barber county for many year.
and many Of the newer citizens also
claimed his acquaintance. From all o
these come words of copious venerator
and he will always be remembered a
one Of Barber county's most loyal mel
whose citizenship was recorded at time
when good men, brave and true, were
an asset far in excess Of the possibilitie
cf mathematical computation.
! If we all might be spared to live to tn
advanced years allotted to this grand OLE
gentleman. and could leave as commend
able record to our children and grand
children as he has left, our most exrava
CANT hopes Of well spent earthly caree
would surely be realized.

The Wealth OF Kansas

The State Tax Commissioners estimate
the assessment this year at about 3 billion
dollars, against 400 millions last year, an
increase Of nearly 700 per cent. Audi

month ago at about q billions, from re-
turns then reported. and we stated that
this just about represents what Kansas
people are worth, for while the railroad

belong to Kansas people, yet there is
enough that is out by the liberal State
exemption law and there is enough still
that escapes to Offset probably the rail-
road assessment.

Got the Wrong Drink

There is somebody in this temperate
city who perpehated great joke on him
self last Wednesday night and the guilty
individual is keeping very quiet about it.
The story is short one and one need
not go into detail to relate it. J. c.
WalAad received ten-gallon flask Of
mineral water from Geuda Springs for
family use on Monday Of last week. The
flask resembled the ordinary one COM
monty used for wines, whiskey or other
intoxicants and, it must be admitted. look
ed very inviting to those whose weak
ness runs to the substance that stingeth
like an adder. Mr.. Walstad kept the
miner1l water on tap in his bath room
close to an open window and the family
drank Of it every day. On Thursday
morning, to their great surprise. they found
that the supply was gone and herein lies
the mystery. That the flask was full
when it was received Mr. Walstad well
knows because he made thorough n ex-
animation; that they drank some Of the
water Monday and Tuesday and Wed
nesday they also know. and that it was
relieved Of its contents by Thursday
morning is too plain for contradiction
The theory, then, is this: An unknown
thirsty denizen had seen the express man
unload the keg or flask at the house. He
must have been careful to observe the
place it was put and then and there re-
solved to supply himself with jug o.
some other receptacle for liquid refresh
ment and steal away in the still hours o
night and be replenished. This he evi
dently did without stopping to sample tn
brand while engaged in doing the tap
ping stunt in Mr.. Walstads house, but
would have been worth more than tn,
price Of the fluid to have seen his facia
contortions when he got the first taste
1t is risking nothing to say that this un
known individual will sample the good
the next time he taps the other fellow
keg.

The Engineer Caught Fish

The mystery as to why the afternoon
Santa Fe does not get in until E and ]
o. m. has been cleared up. A passen-
ger relates that the train stopped one at
temoon not long ago between Medicine
Lodge and Atdca to unload a lot Of
bridge material at small stream. En-
sineer Merrill, who is quick to see how
to utilize time, was prepared with fish,
ing rod and line and straightway went to
fishing. He caught dozen nice ones
during the stop. This, by the way,
should serve as a cue for passengers.
When you start on IMP over our "beS
ever" railroad don't forget your fishing
rod.

These returns, as well as those not yet
in, are all subject to supervision on the
part of the Board of Equalization which
meets June | st and it is altogether likely
that there will be numerous complaints
because Of the fact that valuations have
been increased from three to seven times
what they formerly were, in accordance
with the new tax law which requires that
all property be assessed at its actual cash
value. In the main, the assessors seem
to have gotten along well although quite
a number Of determinations have already
appeared and the equalization board
have plenty Of work before them in the
way Of making equitable adjustments.
