First Inheritance Tax.

The first revenue to be derived by
the state under the inheritance tax
law, which was passed at the last
session of the legislature, was receiv-
ed by County Treasurer Soderstrom
on the llth Of November, from the
estate Of Joseph Dyer, deceased, and
consisted of $l15. SO, of which S5.77
went to the county. This Of course
is not a very large amount, but a
number of small amounts will make d
large amount. Their are other es.
states pending which will be compel.
ed to pay the tax, and when the coun-
ty gets a little bit older it will begin
to amount to something, In the way
OF revenue for the state. That portion
that the county gets is merely to pay
the cost of collecting. This law was
considered by the members of the
tax commission as very important
one, and came near being left to die
on the calendar. We are not boast
ing in the matter, but believe that we
are responsible for its final passage
in the house. The tax commission
ers estimated that it would produce
about 100000 in revenue the first
year.

Headed for the Pen

A young colored man by the name
of Bert Perry, is candidate for the
penitentiary, and has successfully
passed the first examination, in that
he forged the name OF William
Baugh, colored man of this city, to
a check for $1,000, which was cashed
bv Mr.. Hulme at the store one day
last week. AT this time he has not
been apprehended. This same man
attempted on the same day to cash a
check, forging the same name at the
First National Bank, but got fooled.
The check was for $50, aud Ed
Chapman asked the man how he
came by it. He stated that he had
sold Baugh a horse and saddle for
$50. Ed SAID to him, Il don't know
you. You had better get some one
to identify you." The man left, say
ing, 81 will 60 over and see Baugh
about this" A little later a call
came into the bank over the phone.
as this the First National Bank"
He was answered, "Yes." swell, I
am William Baugh. You know that
check l gave Curly Hill. 1t was for
a horse and saddle and is all right,
amt it" Chap answered ayes,
Baugh's check is all right for $50, |
but you'd better come in with that
fellow and identify him yourself"
Chapman had suspicioned at once
that it was the man who wanted to
cash the check who was doing the
talking over the phone and got busy
and found that Baugh had given no
check.

A Golden WeddInQ.

Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Keller, Of the
third ward, celebrated their golden
wedding last Thursday. 1t was a
sort of a surprise at that. This
worthy couple had been intending to
have a family reunion on this oc-
casion, but owing to an accident
which befell Mrs. Keller some time
ago they concluded to postpone it.
The children would not hear to this
however, and proceeded to gather in.
This included DR.. Lawrence and
family from Pawnee Rock, Will KeI-
Ter and family from Alexander, Fred
HasS from Albert, Will Keller and
family and George King and family
from this city. They all came home
to visit and enjoy day Of recreation
with the old folks. Mr.. and Mrs.
Keller were married in New Jersey
fifty years ago. Think how long that
is. Think Of the experiences Of
these people. This was before the war
Of the rebellion, in which Mr.. Keller
was volunteer soldier. Just think
what progress has been made in
every line since these two young
people were united for life. Time
flies, you say' Well | guess yes.
The Keller's have lived 10 this coun.
ty for many years. coming down to
Great Bend about two years ago.
They have always oeen honored and
respected children, have done their
share towards civilizing the west
have reared a family Of good
children, and now in their declining
years, are taking life reasonably easy.
We voice the sentiment Of their hun.
ireds Of friends in hoping that they
may live to celebrate their diamond
wedding.

From The Ball Room 10 a Fire

Not quite, but almost was this the
case with the local fire department.
They gave their annual ball on
Thursday evening of last week, and
not much sooner had they been
wrapped in theiarms of morpheus,
when the fire bell rang, and they
were summoned to tie home of Bert
Dawson on Ellinwood street, which
was discovered on fire. Quick work
as usual was done, but owing to the
fact that the fire had good start be.
fore being discovered, the loss was
about total. OF the household goods
the piano and sewing machine only
were saved, the remainder of the
goods being burned, and the house
also being a total loss. The fire
seems to have started from the kitch.
en-, but from what cause is unknown,
probably matches and mice. MI.
Dawson and children had been at
John DawsOn's for dinner, and spent
the night there. No fire of any kind
had been used about the house since
morning, almost twenty hours before.
A small amount Of insurance was
carried. We surely, all feel very
sorry for Mr.. Dawson and family at
this disaster that has overcome them.
1t is bad enough to be burned out
any time, but to get burned out just
as winter is approaching is worse.

HltChilq Posts,

This is subject we have been
hammering at more or less for some
time, but simply rise to remark that
the same question has been causing
lot of meetings and discussions be.
tween the city commissioners of
Hutchinson on the one side, and the
Merchants Association on the other
side, with the result that number Of
places have been provided for in
that city, and that automobiles are
placed on an exact equality with
teams, as to where they can, or can.
not stand. In Sterling the same
question is up and causing discuss.
ion. There is just one thing about
it, an auto should have the same
rights, but no more, than a team, and
places for placing autos and hitching
horses should be provided, if you
want the trade cf the people from
the country.
