Woman Among Mrs. Guinness Victims


La Port Ind, May 19.-Autopsies OF
the seven unidentified bodies exhumed
from Mrs. Belle Guinness private
burial ground, revealed the fact, ac-
cording to the reports of DR.. F. T. Will
cox and George R. Osborne, that one
of the seven was female. This reve-
lation aroused new interest in the
STORY that a man and woman came
to the house one night in 1904 TO take
Jennie Olsen to a Los Angeles col
lege. as Mrs. Guinness told those
about the place. The next morning.
Jennie and the man and woman were
gone. Mrs. Guinness said that they
had left on an early train for Cali
fornia. The body now declared to be
that of a woman was taken from the
same hole as was that of Jennie o.
sen. In that hole also were the bod
les of Ole Budsberg. of lola. Wis, and
that of another man. The theory now
advanced is that Mrs. Guinness may
have, on the same night, murdered
Jennie Olsen and the man and woman
who had come to take her to Califor-
MIA, and buried all three bodies. dis
membered, in the same pit. The body
of Budsberg, who was murdered la er
than this night, was found nearer the
surface than the other three. -

Issued by the State Com

Assessments.

In order to answer many in
quiries that are being made at
the Office of the State Tax Com
mission both by letter and in per-
son, Commissioner S. T. Howe
has issued a statement throwing
more light on the workings OF
the new tax law. It appears that
the county officials generally and
private citizens and tax payers
also are having a difficult time in
getting at the real workings OF
the new law. The commission
has sent out thousands OF letters
explaining the law, but the In
quiries still reach the Office.
The commission desires to start
in the new year with the knowl'
edge that everyone who is inter
esfed in the new law understands
IL: In order to help the matter
along Mr.. Howe has issued the
following statement:

How To Run Them Out.

Bill White OF the Emporia Ga'
zette, tells in the following how
the Emporia merchants ran the
mail order houses out of town:
"The mail order house has
quit this city and left the trade
to the local merchants. The de-
crease in the number of ship
ments was first noted by the rail-
road men, who were at loss to
know the reason for it. The To-
cal merchant had won the fight
by quoting prices. The local
merchant let farmers, who were
the best customers of theIrnail or
der houses, know by advertising
prices that they could get as good
or better goods at home for the
same money or at less prices,
without the trouble and risk of
sending away from home and
without the expense of freight.
The merchants showed the TAR
mer that it would be to their mu-
! tual advantage to trade at home,
and that was all that was necear
sary, for the Kansas farmer is 3
pretty wise individual.
"A man who knows as much
about the mail order business e.
any man in Emporia, because his
/; business is one that has suffered
with the rest, and he therefore
has to study the system of the el''
envy to be able to cope with u

and all similar interests are to-
be assessed in the township,
school district or city in which
the owner resides If they do not
pertain to a business located, then
they are to be assessed at the
place where the business is To-
Gated.
10. Animals and farming inn
plements are to be assessed in the
township, school district or city
where usually kept. The .ques-
ton of location for purposes OF
assessment; is one of fact to be
determined by evidence, if there
is doubt. A temporary absence
from the place where usually
kept, even if such absence shall
cover the LIST of March, will not
make the property assessable at
the temporary place. For exam
|ple: If person should own a
section of land near Auburn
which section of land is used as a
home ranch where cattle are kept
during the summer season and to
which the cattle are returned
when wintered away, such cattle
would be properly assessable at
the home ranch, although they
might not have been returned
from their winter qurters to the
home ranch until after the LIST OF
March. However, if for any
reason such animals were temper
arily outside of the state on the
| list of March, then they would be
assessed in the township, school
district or city where the owner
resided on the LIST day of March,
The foregoing rules of assess
ment and taxation are clearly In
accordance with the requirements
of the law.
There is no law in Kansas pro-
viding for a tax on mortgages II
the nature of a recording charge
It is impossible to state thu
amount at which a 81, ZOO mort
Igage would be taxed, as tina
would depend entirely upon TIT
local tax levy; and the same il
true as to what would be the ia!
lon a farm worth So, 900.
In general, it may be said, tina
the new tax law makes no mater
|ial change in the law of assess
lment and taxation which was en-
lacted in 1876. The new law i
devoted almost soly to providing
machinery for enforcing the oil
law. The result of such enforce
ment should be to reduce the bur
dens upon present tax payers, a
it will undoubtedly get upon tn
roll much property which ha
never borne its share of the bur
den of taxation. No one ca
question the business of the law
which is, that all property, Q
whatever kind or character with
out regard to ownership. shal
bear its just portion of the ez
pense attendant upon an econe
: mical administration of the al
fairs of government.
