try that the Russians and Italians

LIFE INTEREST ENDS.
r. G. Dun's Collection of Paintings
Goes to Metropolitan Museum.

New York, Nov. S.-Twenty-five i'm
pOrtant paintings, valued at nearly
half a million dollars, will shortly be
turned over to the Metropolitan Mus
cum Of Art by the executors of the es-
tate of the late Col. r. G. Dun. The
death of his widow on Sunday at Hot
Springs, Va, releases these works to
the institution as her interest in them
was only during her lifetime. Col.
Dun died in 1900.
Most of the paintings are excellent
specimens OF the work Of the Barbisons,
including Millet, Corot and Daubigny.
They were purchased by Col. Dun about
20 years ago and were then valued at
$3.50 900. They have since appreciated
greatly in value.
The gift Will strengthen the museum
along certain lines. Among the more
notable paintings are Daubigny's 1.-THE
Marsh" Corot's Prairie on Forest
Border" Rosa Bonheur's Calf and
Cow" Millet's "Washerwoman," Du-
pres Peasant Girls in Field" Bou-
Eereau's Awakening of Cupid and

NO SNAKE SHOWS AT FAIR.
State Board Cuts Out Oriental Beauties
and Their Pets,

and Their Pets.
Des Moines, July 16. Seem
snakes" Will be an impossibillty at the
state fair this fall for two reasons:
First, because the state fair board has
barred all snake shows, and second,
because drunks Will be kept off the
grounds.
Secretary Johnson Simpson has never
been keen for snake shows, hence
the edict. for the members of the state
fair board have no kindlier feeling for
the creeping, writhing reptiles than has
the secretary.
The fair oriental beauties and snake
charners who usually accompany the
snake shows TO awe the gaping multi
tude by fondling deadly reptiles will
have no place on the grounds. The
painted damsels and their daring feats
do not look good to the fair board.
Particularly does the board object to
the women who handle the snakes. The
board is not opposed entirely to the
keeping of a snake or two in nenag-
erie, so it is possible that those who
bring the animal shows to the grounds
will have a boa constructor on exhibit
ton. But he has been warned that no
tinkering or handling of the snake
outside of a glass cage will be al
lowed, and that If he shows it. he Will
have to keep 1t closely penned UP all
of the time.

SALOONS ARE HIT
Sioux City Council to Raise Annual
Tax to $3.50 and Number Will Be
Reduced From Seventy-seven to
Sixty.

Sioux City, July 16.-With the fixing
of the tax levy for 1911 by the city
council in the near future, the council
is planning to increase saloon licenses.
The constantly dwindling amounts of
receipts from licenses and other sources
of revenue for the contingent fund Will
make a step of this kind imperative
unnless the other recourse OF an in
creased tax levy is adopted.
It Is probable the saloon license Will
be made $500 a year instead of 5000.
OF that amount the county would con-
tnue to get 5000 as the city would get
$500.
There are about seveuty-seven re-
tail saloons In the city. The Anti
Saloon League probably will put about
seven more saloons out o. business
during the coming year. 1t is esumat-
ed the increased tax would force ten
more saloons out of business. This
would leave sixty saloons to pay the
tax. On this basis it is figured the
citys net INCREASE in receipts would
be about $4,000.
The city also expects to increase It's
income from an increased valuation.
City Assessor j. w. Gray estimates
that the valuation viii gain something
like 81 100000 next year. If the pres
enc levy is not increased this will give
the city an additional $4,000. In the
four years Mr.. Gray has been assessor
the valuation of the city has increaS-
ed from about s27,ooo,o0o to over $780,,
