States Favor Income Tax.

A poll on the income tax sentiment
has been taken by a New York news
paper, which invited the governors of
twenty-five states to give their opin-
ions. Fifteen of the number who
have already replied are heartily in
favor of the proposition, seven are
non-committal and only one is oppoS-
ed. Governors of the following states
replied to the effect that their state
Legislatures probably would ratify the
proposed income tax amendment
Florida, Montana, Nevada. Colorado,
Idaho, Mississippi, Kansas. Indiana,
North Dakota, Minnesota, Virginia,
Oklahoma, Texas, Kentucky and
Iowa. The non-committal replies
were from Georgia, Illinois, Rhode
Island, Wyoming, Missouri. Oregon
and Washington. In Utah only, was
it forecasted that the amendment
be rejected. Governor Stubs, of
Kansas, undoubtedly expressed the
sentiment of most Of the corn belt
states, when he wrote: There is
not the slightest doubt but that the
Kansas legislature will adopt the
amendment. | have talked with a

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other dis.
eases put together, and until the las,
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doc
tors pronounced il local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced ii incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney & Co. Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure ON the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaSpoonful. II
acts directly on the blood and mucous

A SLACK IN THE
SILVER CHORD.

Before starting for Colorado Gov
ernor Hadley devoted a large part of
his time, large part Of his secre-
tary's time, and yards of typewriter
ribbon to deploring political eondi-
tons in Kansas City.
It seems that Hadley is trying to
undo the work that Folk did in Kan
sas City, and we take occasion 10 re-
mark that where Hadles and Folk
clash, or where they agree. this fam
lily journal has no hand in the same.
In their agreements or disagree
ments Hadley and Folk are phenom-
enally and undistinguishahly similar.
The shop-worn simile that they're
as much alike as two peas in a pod"
is inadequate. They are as identical
as the one solitary and lone little pea
that is not found under the shell.
They're the Heavenly Twins, " grad
uated from the same school of poll
tics, speaking the same piece, with
the same infections and gestures, di-
rectly under the same sounding
board, Immediately in front of the
same grandstand,
Theirs is a unity of par,iSanship.
Each is as good democrat as the
other. Each is as good a republican
as the other. Both have been equal
ly successful in getting office. or pref.
ty nearly so. Each is as eager for
further preferment as the other.
With the same burning zeal each
was as fervently in favor Of home
rule for the cities as was the other
during campaign days; and each was
as unbudgeably opposed to home rule
as the other-during official opportu-
nifty.
Didn't Folk purify Kansas City?
Why should Hadley then feel the
urge Of sprinkling on additional dis
infectant? Is there a rift in our
Damon-Pythias lutte? Have the Fidus-
Achates signals gotten twisted? Is
the binding tie of the Siamese twain
to be severed? 0, Temporal. o,

New Kansas Drink Gains Fam,
As a Quick Jag Producer.

Topeka, Kan., Aug. 9.-The latest
drink in Kansas is the Jackson cock
tail. It is a drink intended to avoid
trouble with the Kansas prohibitory
law and Fred Jackson, attorney gen.
eral, for whom it was named. It is a
drink that can be purchased anywhere
in Kansas, and at any time, and the
chap that sells it is never in danger of
a prosecution, and the fellow that
buys it never will be brought into
court as a witness.
The drink is made of three parts of
ordinary apple cider and one part Of
Jamaica ginger. 1t is said to be a
really palatable connection. Cider is
always good, and the ginger being
chiefly alcohol, gives the mixture a
zest and flavor that old topers say is
about the finest ever.
Besides, the drink gets real action
and that right away. Two good drinks
will make a man real funny and cute;
three will cause him to rob his own
trunk, and five are calculated to
make him prefer a bed of shucks in
the corner of a vacant lot to nice
downy couch at home.

Farm For Short Sermons.

Pine Village, Ind, Aug.-Burgoine
Davis and wife, among the wealthiest
land owners Of Montgomery county,
decided to the Reverend j. M. Viii
liams, a Methodist minister, sixty
acres of their most fertile land, its
value being $l25 an acre, the consid-
Grafton being the short sermons
preached by the minister.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis have no near
relatives. They attended the church
Of which Mr.. Williams was pastor,
and when the conference would have
changed him it was by their influence
that his pastorate was continued.
He preached very short sermons,
and Is said never to have tired his
audience, his rule being fifteen min
utes or less.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis were so much
pleased with these sermons that they
determined to give some substantial
evidence Of their appreciation.

SCHOOL GIRL SLAIN BY
DRINK In z MONTHS,
First Taste New Years Eve in
Cafe, Leads to Absinthe
and Morphine.

Kansas City, Aug.-Seven months
after she took her first intoxicating
drink, Helen Chambers, not yet IS
years old, died at the General Hospit-
al last Wednesday morning, mental
and physical wreck, from dissipation.
Her system had been weakened to
such an extent she could not recover
from the shock of an operation.
Miss Chambers, the daughter of a
respected family in Aurora, ILL.,, was
a high school girl seven months ago.
In brief period she crowded events
into her life that would have been
good measure for an average life
time.
From the simple drinks she first
INDUCED in last New Years Eve she
went to stronger ones. For two
weeks before coming to the General
Hospital she virtually lived. on alb
sinthe, and at the last she began using
morphine.
A message to her mother, still lv-
ing in Aurora, received no response,
and the girl, with her life slowly
ebbing out, dozed restlessly through
weary and torturing minutes until the
end came.
81 was just quitting high school, "
she said, shortly before her death,
when asked to tell her story. 81
went to Chicago New Years Eve
with another girl. We met two boys
and went to a cafe, where the New
Years celebration was just starting.

to be happy as well, The minutes

up to it, but when | awoke the next
morning | felt disgraced.

it would be best. l came to Kansas
City about April 1. l fell in with bad
associates, but finally married. l
went to Dallas, Texas, with my hus-
band. There we quarreled and he re-
turned to Kansas City without me,
but soon followed. We made up
here, but quarreled again and separa-
ted, and then l started anew. The
rest you know. l slept in a cheap
rooming-house last Sunday night. |
came here Monday, hoping there
might be some relief, but it is all up
with me. "

Charles Quill Allowed Direct Current from Feed Wire
Turned Into His Body to Amount of 1900 Volts
seemed Enjoy It-Explains Immunity by Saying
that his Body Contains Large Amount of Carbon.

New York, March 1.-At a private
exhibition yesterday in a small room at
l416 Broadway. Charles Quill, a man
Of 22 years, allowed himself TO be
strapped into an electric chair similar
to the one in Sing Sing prison, and a
direct current of electricity drawn
from a nearby feed wire was turned
into his body to the amount of 1,S00
volts. This is 100 more volts than are
used in executions at the prison. Quill
seemed to enjoy it. He endured this
huge voltage for fully a minute. Dur
ing that time his assistant touched
various parts of his body with an al
cohol-soaked handkerchief, which i'm
mediately burst into flames.
Plays with. Electricity as With a Toy.
Quill asserts that electricity will not
kill unless II burns, and he explains
his immunity to the fact that his body
contains an unusual amount Of carbon
Yesterday he played with electricity
as though il We're the most harmless
thing in the world. With 1S00 volts
sizzling into one hand he would light
candle. or set aglow an incandescent
light with the other. He applied a
piece of carbon, held between his teeth,
to a similar piece attached to another
wire and supplied a perfect arc light.
He drew forth current Of such in
