Replies to the "Slap in the Face
Circular.

Chairman Dolley, of the Republican
state committee, today gave out
statement in reply to the Democratic
circular entitled IA Slap in the Face"
which was printed in the State Jour-
nal Monday.
Mr.. Dolley says:
II notice Mr.. Martin. chairman of
the Democratic state committee, is is

sas, entitled "A Slap in the Face
wherein he says that ]. N. Dolley,
chairman of the Republican state COM
mittee, when he was member of the
last legislature, helped Mr.. Stubs pass
the new tax law. 1 do not know that
1 especially helped Mr.. Stubs pass the
tax law but 1 did vote for it and it
passed the legislature nearly unani-
mously with every Democrat present
voting for it excepting one, and this
law was championed in the senate by
that great Democratic leader, Hon.
Bale Waggener."
Referring to his statement that the
new tax law has caused a readjust-
ment in values, Mr.. Dolley says:
This statement is verified by the tax
commission itself in a statement issued
by it and unanimously agreed to
which included the Democratic mem
Der of the commission. He further says
that according to my statement the
railroads and banks have been paying
more than their share of the taxes and
the farmers have been paying less. This
is false. 1 said nothing of the KIND.
In fact 1 wish to say to the people OF
Kansas that the entire Democratic
statement is misleading, untrue and
false and is a fair sample OF the great
er part of Information furnished the
people of Kansas by the Democratic
state committee. aTC
Il believe that the Kansas tax law
is a good law and it Is in the right di-
rection. 1t needs, probably, several
amendments and 1 further believe that
when it is properly worked out the peo-
nile will be entirely satisfied with the

be it's auditors on its next visit, with
their friends, and their friends friends
This fact is the truest test of drama
that it's audiences praise it to their
friends.
The better element of the public look
forward to the time when dramas of
the sterling worth of Ben Hur'' will be
the rule instead of the exception on the
American stage, for such plays correct

VIPER KILLED IN TOPEKA.
Snake Supposed to Be Found Only in
Orient Discovered in Cellar.

A viper, supposed to be found only in
the Orient, five feet in length and two
and half inches in thickness, was
found in the cellar of Thomas Ebey at
~ Lane street this morning. A meter
reader from the Topeka waterworks
went down in the cellar to read the
meter. when the snake jumped at him
and chased him out of the cellar An
armed posse was formed which ended
the existence OF the reptile. Just how
the snake found his way into the cellar
is hard to understand. He may have
been imported while quite young, in
bananas or some products from the
Orient, and have grown 70 his present
size. But is disproved by the fact tina:
he had not been in the cellar previous
~. It has been suggested that he went
INTO alternating quarters and dug his
hole so deep that he finally emerged in
this cellar. Should this be found to be
the correct solution. it would tend to
dlsprove the current impression that
the center of the world is a heated
mass.
The snake was turned over to the
Kansas academy of science at the stat
house.
