BACK FROM LEAvENwoRTH.
State Tax Commissioners Are Looking
Over the Valuation.

The state tax commission has re-
turned from Leavenworth where they
have been the past couple of days in
connection with the Leavenworth city
assessment for taxable purposes. The
tax list as turned in by the assessors
of that city was less than that of last
year and the commission went over
there to find out where the shortage
was located.
Last year Ieavenworth turned in a
valuation of $5,S00,O00 and 1t was boost
ed by the commission to $6,220,000. This
year the city turned in an assessment
of $5271, 955. This is a decrease of about
a million, and while the commission
have not yet finished their work in
connection with the case they will hoist
the assessment materially.
According to the county clerks tax
rolls only 1,630 persons are listed as
tax payers in the city. Now Leaven-
worth claims about $4,000 population, SO
it can be seen that a good many hun
bred tax payers were overlooked in
making up the tax rolls.

JUDGE RYAN IS HERE.
Says Sentiment on McNeaI and An
thony Is Evenly Divided.

Judge S. L. Ryan, of Brown county,
member of the last legislature, was in
the city today on business and when
asked about the status of the con-
gressional fight in his county, replied
that he thought that sentiment was
pretty evenly divided as between An
thony and McNeal.
The Judge declared that the square
deal sentiment in his county, strong
two years ago, had grown to even
greater proportions in the interval.
The judge was of the opinion that
McNears declaration as regards this
country d1sposing of the Philippines
was putting it rather strong and that
the young men of his county did not
take kindly to that plank in the Nc
Neal platform.
AS for the Ewing Herbert boom for
congress, the Judge did not launch nor
initiate it by word or hint.

Sas PrOhibitOry Law.
j. II. FOUGHT Tells OF Affair
and Trial.
BLAMED FOR ARREST.
Saloon Men Tried to Force Him
to Leave.
Union Church Services at Gar
field Park Tomorrow.

In speaking about tho prohibition
question this morning ]. H. FOUGHT
told about the first arrest and trial
OF a man for selling intoxicating liquor
in Kansas. Mr.. FOUGHT also described
how the saloon men tried to force him
to leave town because they suspected
that he was responsible for the arrest.
1T was in July or August of 1881, just
after the prohibition law went into eff
feet" said Mr.. FOUGHT. "a John Bower
conducted saloon on the west side of
North Kansas avenue, between the
bridge and the railroad. My store was
across the street from the saloon then.
"A member of the Methodist church,
whose name l forget, secured the evil
dence and Bower was arrested on a
warrant sworn. out by a Mr.. Dunlap
who was justice of the peace for the
First ward at that time.
THE saloon men thought 1 was re-
sponsibe for the affair, although 1 had
nothing to do with it. However, 1 had
served on the legislature which had
passed thu prohibition law and had
voted for the measure.
Because of their MISUNDERSTANDING
the liquor forces met and passed a
resolution asking me to move to Mis-
souri,. A RUDE Jones was sent to me
t. deliver the message. l replied by
loading a revolver and saying that the
first man who tried to interfere with
my business would be shot Jones told
the saloon people what 1 had said. He
believed l meant it and told the men
that [ would fight if 1 was pressed.
The Bower trial was holly contest
sd and for a time it looked as though
there was going to be real trouble. A
little Congregational minister named S
p. Dunlap. and a Methodist minister
named Lawrence. led the prohibition
forces. The liquor element threatened
tc throw them out of the hall on the
North side where the trial was held
but we stood by them and they were moi
harmed.
"a Mr.. Vance was the prosecuting
attorney-now living in Oklahoma City
think Through him, Bower was con
Victed anG if L remember correctly
was given a fine of 500 and a 80 days
jail sentence"

Prof. John E. Cameron Organized his

his remarks this morning was such as
to create sufficient enthusiasm among
the youngsters to induce them to flock
around him after the study hour and
ask him all manner of questions. Prof.

manner on birds and their life history,

WHAT WHEAT SHOULD BRING
j. r. Smith Pleads With Farmers to
Ask $1.10.

TO the Editor of the State Journal:
The paramount and all absorbing
question at present is: How much
wheat will be raised in the state and
what to do with it after it is raised.
There seems to be quite an extended
speculation on the wheat problem.
There are distinctly two sides to this
question, in the reading the papers I
find the farmers and spectators are
heralding the glad tidings of an en-
ormouS crop. Some unacquainted
with the true crop conditions estimate
from 100000 to 100,0 100000 BUSH
els for Kansas, while men who have
made it a study for years place the
yield at about 100000. The farmer
stands in his own light when he over
estimates his crop, because that tends
to lower prices being offered for his
grain.
The farmer has been at the mercy
of the speculator about long enough
the farmer farms the wheat, the
speculator farms the farmer. Now,
Mr.. Farmer, will tell you what to do
to avoid too much wheat being ship
ped out of the country. To avoid
corners on wheat, to avoid extorting
prices such as we had a month ago.
To avoid taking a low price for your
wheat and allowing the other fellows
to get the exorbitant price, to avoid
paying 40 per cent more for your
flour than the corresponding price
ODld1uS0 LOT your WfledI last july.
Ask $1.10 for your wheat and do
not take one cent less, this price is
not prohibitive and it will stop the
rapid ups and downs-why does
wheat f1uctuate 30c in one month :?
Because you have sold out at a low
price and have none to bring in at
| the high price. I saw in the State
| Journal where the Salina millers are
| figuring on your wheat at CSC a bush
| ell, if you will ask s1.10 per bushel,
| for your wheat I will guarantee they
won't buy it at CSC and you will get
your price; If you go to the sugar shop
you will either pay their price or go
| home sour-the banks have more
| money now than ever before, but you
| can't borrow at any less interest,
| why can't you ask s1.10 for your
| wheat as we'll as to ask $4,000 for
| your horse? Every one of you have
an empty granary at present, put
your wheat in your empty bins il
won't cost you any board bill If you
| can't sit still for thirty days go on a
| visit-when you get back you can
sell your wheat at s1.10. But do not
over do the price, the winter wheat
crop is short. hold your wheat for
$1.10 per bushel.

The first shipment of Irish potatoe.
to Columbia from Scotland was re
ceived here today by the G. W. Mich
OILS Produce Co. The potato is entire,

scarce that it has become necessary
to import this potato into this market
to supply the demand.
F. F. Clawson, of Ashwood, one of
the largest potato growers in the
county, planted two barrels of this
variety of potatoe in order to make
he experiment, as to whether it will
crow in this county. The potato is
