Appeal from Hamilton County
AFFIRMED.
Syllabus. BY the Court. Johnston, r. J.
l. A compromise tax deed which had
been of record more than five years pur-
ported to convey a block of ground in
city. Four of the lots were sold separate
ly for specified amount, eight of the Tors
were sold together for a stated sum and
the remaining sixteen lots of the block
were sold together for a single considera-
ton. The lots so sold constituted the en-
tire block and all were owned by the
same person. The recitals showed that
the subsequent taxes for each year after
the sale and before the compromise were
included in a-single charge and all taxes.
interest and charges against the entire
block were compromised and the interest
of the county assigned 2or one gross sum
In an attack on the deed because it did
not state the consideration for which each
lot was sold and conveyed it is held that
the instrument is not void on it's face
for that reason; that it contains the essen
tial recitalS of compromise tax deed;
and that 1T is not void because the COM
promise did not include the taxes of the
year in which it was made.
.. An abbreviated Acknowledgement of
the execution of the tax deed held to be
sufficient.
All the Justices concurring.

Pony Express
OF Olden Days

Perhaps the most picturesque fg-
ure on the old trail was the pony
express rider. The overland stage
proved too slow for mail and express;
in its fight from the Missouri to the
Pacific. True. it had cut down the
methods of the old OK team to TWEEN
ty-6ve days, and still there was
clamor that the East and West be
brought closer together-and it was
done. The pony cut the time to ten
days.
Those who were per sonally ac-
q,,ainted with the famous Wells
Fargo Pony Express of those days
could never forget the intrepid rider
who braved all peril, forgetful of
sell. intent only on the speedy deliv-
cry of his precious mochilla, to the
next hardy horsemen. Hard( and
fast he rode over mountain and plain
across scorching desert and icy snow
through sunshine and rain, past
friend. away from foe, to the final
az kievement-the, safe delivery of his
charge.
| Forty fearless horsemen in saddle

tcrprise was in motion. For two
years the pony express carried mes
sages of business and love across
I 1900 miles of western mountains ant
plains, over country peopled with
a hostile race. destitute of cultiva
ton or development, through re
g'on wild, desolate and little known
1t was in 1859 that the pony ex
press was established. The route

Joseph to Fort Kearney. up TIN
Platte to Julesburg, thence by For
laramie and Fort Bridger to Sal
Lake City. thence to Camp Floyd
Ruby Valley. the Humboldt, Carson
City. Placervitle and Folsom to Sac
lramento and San Francisco by boa,
| The intention of the pony ex
press was to carry letters only, ant
:, Ifot more than ten pounds at a trip
1t was decided that the safest an
easiest mode to carry mail was II

PROPRIETARY MEDICINES .
PRESCRIBED BY DOCTORS

Examination of the formulary de-
partment of leading drug stores
throughout the country has proved
that a very large percentage OF the
prescriptions filled for doctors are
for proprietary medicines.
This is because the average doc
tor OF to-day is unable to devise pre-
scriptions equally as ef6cacious.
Such standard remedies as Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
are prescribed over and over again
by fair-minded physicians through
out the country.

The Jubilee Movement

Fifty years ago was organized the
first Woman's Mission Board and
this year brings the Jubilee anniver-
sary Of Woman's organized work for
missions. Great things have been
accomplished during the past fifty
years and the Christian women of
America propose to make much OF
this anniversary.
A great union movement has been
inaugurated among the women OF al
evangelical denominations and a
series of conventions reaching the
large cities from San Francisco to
New England are in progress, to
eliminate in a great mass conven-
tion in the city of New York in
May. This is proving to be the
same mighty influence among the
Christian women Of America as was
the Laymen's campaign last year
for the brotherhood.
The Christian Woman's Board of
Missions has undertaken to hold ten
sub rallies in Kansas and one OF
these will be held in this section, All
who are interested in the progress
of missionary enterprises should
watch for announcements of these
rallies. Speakers of national repu-
tation will assist on the program. All
