No Republican for the Office.

Limedale, Ind, July For thirty
two years w. J. Stegg, a Democrat,
postmaster at Limedale, has hoped
in vain that some Republican would
move into this town and get his job.
The office didn't pay much anyhow,
and Sunday being the 4th of July,
Steeg decided to assert his indepen-
dence and threw up his job. Steeg
was appointed postmaster here by
President Hayes A Democrat will
be his successor because Limedale
is still without a Republican voter.

; Legislative Gossip

Topeka-The forestry bills intro
duced by w. Y. Morgan are meeting
with very favorable consideration and
along the line they propose will I'M
doubtedly be the policy of the state.
The first bill creates department,
of forestry. 1t consists of state for
ester, to be appointed by the governor
and required to be an experienced and
practical forester. He is to have an
office at the state house with clerical
assistance and a contingent fund. He
will have the power to collect and dis
tribute information, and will be ex-
pected to do so by bulletin, circular,
through the newspapers or by lecture
before county institutes, or the agri-
cultural college or the state univer-
sity or any place where the subject
can be promoted and will be put in
direct touch with the national bureau
of forestry, which believes that the
plains of western Kansas can be made
to grow trees adapted to their eli
mate. The department is to be in dig
nifty along with that of Sec. Coburn.
The department will include the ex-
pertinent stations now operated at
Dodge City and Ogallah, which will be
under the management of foreman,
but under the control of the state
forester.
Another bill provides that taxes
shall be related on lands in tracts of
not less than one acre or more than
ten acres planted to forestry trees, un-
der the direction of the state forester.
This exemption shall be made by the
county assessor on being shown that
the trees have been planted and main
tanned.
A third bill provides for the giving
of power to cities of all classes to buy
land for parks, either within or with
out the city limits, and to maintain
and care for such parks. Nearly ev-
cry city in Kansas can thus secure for
itself good park by getting cheap
land near by, which is not available
for other purposes, but which, under
the direction of the state forester, can
be made in a very few years into a
public park.
Another bill introduced by Mr. Nor
gan provides for the protection OF
trees along the public highway.

RHEUMATISM PRESCRIPTION

The increased use of "Toris" for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater.
nifty. 1t is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre-
dents and taken properly. The fol-
lowing formula is effective: ITO one
half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one
ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring"
Toris compound is a product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharma-
ceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as
the other ingredients can be had from
any good druggist.

A sIrah. Misunderstanding.

Little Helen Bentley Of Los Angeles,
aged five, dearly loves her grandma,
who has been living with her and her
parents. Recently grandma went to
Seattle for a visit, and caught cold
on the way. When she arrived there,
she wrote back to Helen's parents that
she had reached Seattle, but had had
a hard fight with the grip. Helen
wanted to hear what grandma had to
say, and the letter was read to her.
Soon afterward she saw one of her
neighbors, and exclaimed: "Oh, Mrs.
Smith, we've had a letter from gracd-
ma. She got to Seattle all right, but
she had a terrible fight with her va
lise."

Exempt Mortgages From Taxation.

Exempt Mortgages From AVIATION
How to place Kansas money lend
ers on the same footing as foreign
money lenders, doing business in the
state, is one of the big things the
legislature is worrying about. Under
the present law, mortgages held by
Kansas people are taxable, while
those held by outsiders cannot be
reached, and consequently escape tax
alton. AS a result there is a discrim-
nation against the Kansas mortgage
owner of the amount of the taxes,
which averages about l per cent.
Senator Carey has introduced bill
in the senate exemptlng mortgages
from taxation, but providing for a reg
istration fee, which will just about
equal the taxes. In this way he says
that all mortgages will be caught.
The state tax commission says this
doesn't help any; that under the con-
stitution mortgages would have to be
taxed Just the same. 1t insists that
the only way to reach the evil is by
a constitutional amendment which 1t
will urge the legislature to submit to
the people at the next general cleo
ton.
