Good Roads Bill Passed House.

One of the many good roads bills
been passed by the house. The bill
passed was the one introduced by
house committee on roads and high
ways and provided for the building OF
dirt roads. 1t required the appoint
ment of a county engineer in all coun-
ties having over twenty thousand pop
ulation, leaving the appointment OPP
tional in counties of less population.
The engineer is to direct all road
work and is to be paid in fees accord
ing to the amount of work done.
All good roads work is to be done
according to the plans made by the
engineer Under the constitution the
state itself cannot do any road build
ing or aid in the construction of roads.
Arthur Cranston, representative
from Labette county, has Introduced a
constitutional amendment which will
permit the state to levy a tax and
either do the work of building roads
or aid counties in doing 1t.

New Maximum Freight Rate Bill

1T the urgent request of The board
of railroad commissioners, w. Y. Nor
gan has INTRODUCED a maximum freight
rate bill providing for reduction or
approximately Is to 20 per cent III
the present distance tariff rates on
brick, hay, lime, cement, plaster, lum-
Der, salt, wheat and it's products, corn
and it's products, alfalfa feed, flaXseed,
millet seed, horses and mules, cattle,
hogs, sheep, coal and sand and stone,
undressed and crushed. e. G. Sinner,
secretary and rate clerk of the board,
compiled the tariff.
These commodity rates cover prac-
tically all of the staple articles used
or produced by the farming and labor
ing elements of the state The COM
missioners have spent a great deal OF
time in connection with the compila-
tion of this schedule, and If the tariff,
as introduced, is permitted to go
through the legislature without radical
amendment as to the rates or their
application they feel confident that
the law can be speedily enforced IN
the courts, in the event that the rail-
road companies operating in the state
refuse to comply Herewith.
If this law becomes effective Kan
sas will be placed on a much better
freight rate basis than prevails in Ne
braska, and the level of the rates will
be but very little higher in any in
stance, and in some instances mater
tally lower than the distance tariff
rates now effective in the state of
Missouri.
1t is the intention of the board to
supplement its action in the introduc-
ton of this tariff with an action to
be brought before the interstate COM
merce commission to require of the
railroad companies a reduction in the
class rates from Missouri river sta
lions to stations in Kansas to approx
imately the rate per ton per mile be-
tween the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers.

Bank Guaranty Law.

The senate has recommended IA
vorably the administration bank de-
post guaranty law. When the recent
meeting between the bankers and the
house and senate committees on banks
and banking was held, the one point
over which the bankers protested
most was that feature of the bill pro-
viding protection for Understanding
deposits. Under an amendment
adopted by the senate, that feature is
stricken out, and the bill does not
guarantee savings accounts bearing in
terest and not subject to check. Time
deposits can participate in the guar
anty.

Senate Tax Bills to House.

The senate has cleaned up its cal
endar of bills amending the tax law
and sent them to the house.
The bills abolish rebates and require
the county treasurer to collect all
penalties on past due taxes; require
taxing officers to assemble small
tracts adjoining cities and towns into
4O-acre plats, so that the property can
be taxed as a lot in a certain plat
rather than by metes and bounds; pro-
vide for the assessment of shares OF
building and loan association stock;
increase the excise tax on express
companies to per cent of the gross
earnings, the law fixing the rate at 1 u
per cent; provide for a tax on inner
itances; provide for simpler form of
bookkeeping by the taxing officers;
limit the amount of bonds any county,
city, township or other municipality
can issue.
Some days ago the Quincy bill over
hauling the general tax law was pass
ed by the senate, and the house COM
mittee on taxation has recommended
it for passage.

PRIZE FOOD
PaIatable, Economical, Nourlshing.

A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food In a few words, and that
from personal experience. She writes:
after our long experience with
Grape Nuts, cannot say enough In Its
favor. We have used this food almost
continually for seven years.
I'VE sometimes tried other adver-
tised breakfast foods but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts as the most pal
atable. economical and nourishing
of all.

gan to use Postum and Grape-Nuts l

ritable 1 could not sleep nights, had

been almost raised on Grape-Nuts,
which they eat three times day.
"They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom of
stomach trouble, even through the
most severe siege of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when all
else failed.
"Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor
bills, and has been, therefore, most
economical food for u.s."

CHAPTER VIII.-Continued.

No animal swimming out in the
darkness along the shore, no heavy
salmon surging, could have set the
whole shore afood as though the
wash from a great boat were rolling
in. Could it have been the overflow,
through the Weir Brook, of some
cloudburst far back in the forest?
This was the only way l could account
for it, and yet when had crossed the
Weir Brook / had not noticed that it
was swollen.
And as l lay there thinking, faint
breeze sprang up and l saw the sur
face of the lake whiten with lifted
lily pods.
All around me the alders were sigh
ing; l heard the forest behind me
stir; the crossed branches rubbing
softly, bark against bark. Something

of the night, dipped, scared, and was

cast myself down upon my face, caH-
ing on her name. My eyes were wet
when | raised my head-for the spray
from the shore was drifting in again
and my heart beat heavily: mo more,
no more" But my heart lied. for even
as l raised my face to the calm stars,
l saw her standing still, close beside
me: and very gently spoke her name,
Ysonde. She held out both hands.

went to the glade, but the forest is
full of frightened creatures and they

running toward the heights"
Her hand still lay in mine as we
moved along the shore, and the lap
ping of the water on rock and shallow
was no lower than our voices.
"Why did you leave me without a
word. there at the fountain in the
glade?" she said.
