TAXING THE
 SCHOOL CHILDREN.

tSSfS0L SFiLOH6N
 The other day your children started of to school to begin the new school
 year. You probably hadn't associated
 the criminal tariff tax with your
 children, except that you knew it's
 burdens make it cost more to feed
 and to clothe them. But that isn't
 the end of it by any means.
 1 Charles Johnson Post in the New
 York World tells a few facts abou.
 how the cunning, greed that seeks to squeeze the last possible nickle out of the epople through the tarif tax even descends to plunder1ng the school. children. Says he:
 Little Willie, Jr., and Ethihnda start of to school On their blank books they, paid a tariff of 25 per cent On their pencils they also paid 25 per cent. tariff tax. and in addition 8 third of cent each as specific duty. The pride of little Willie's heart is one of these combination pencil, eraser, penhoider and stamp arrangements that he has saved out lof his firecracker money. On this 
 he paid 40 per cent. tariff tax.
 ''Ethelinda's pride was little foun- tain pen for which she had foregone a new dolls cape. On this pen she paid 30 per cent. tarif tax On their pen holders they paid 25 per cent. tariff tax. The chamois skin pen wiper was taxed 50 per cent The sponge rubber was taxed 40 per cent For the penknife each they had paid 40 per cent, and then an addition 10 cents of tariff tax apiece on each knife. On the little school boxes on which they kept the above in or  derly arrangement the tariff tax was 5 per cent.
 Little Willie has A little school slate book for temporary memoranda tariff taxed 25 per cent. Ethelinda has a school bag of fibre for her te::t EsNa I.r hn slr cent. Willie used a simple strap that is protected by a tariff tax of 40 per cent. The little girl had a bottle of ink for her foutain pen-taxed by the tarif 25 per cent Her brother had a pocket comb of cheap horn for use in the touseled emergencies, after recess-50 per cent tariff taxed. He paid a tariff of 35 per cent on his marbles. She paid tariff of 35 per lcent. on her dollies- Between them they had a cheap school umbrella, and mother had to pay tariff tax of 50 per cent. on that.
 If Willie has to wear glasses this lyear father will get them, and he
 will pay a tariff tax of 50 per cent
 on them In getting ready for school in the morning they washed with
 soap tariff taxed 20 per cent, dried
 themselves on towels tariff-taxed 45 Iper cent, polished their shoes with
 polish tariff-taxed 25 per cent, and
 brushed their teeth and hair vita
 brushes tariff taxed 40 per cent. !. And when they do waste their lit l tie allowance once in a while with 2 riotous candy-fest the tariff taxes : them a quarter of cent an ounce , and adds to that 15 per cent. ad ; ditional tax This is on cheap candy; - if it is a safer, purer and better prod ] uct the tariff taxes the youngsters 7 50 per cent"
 . The grasp of ruthless tarin greed 3 Icares nothing for sex or age or con t ition. It pinches most severely thos'
 who can least afford to be taxed a e all. Nobody-not even the little chil r dren toddling on to schools saf' | from it's aIi-embrac.nE clutch.

TRADE
 LOYALTY.

No word appeals more strongly to the average person than loyalty. We all love to be spoken of as loyal to family, friends, country and to our ideals. We should also include our home city.
 There is no doubt of our sincerity in this and we would feel very much offended were it questioned. but is this loyalty always of the right sort; is it intelligent and active or is it sometimes sentimental and pleasing fancy with which we delude our selves.
 The happiness of the people of a city depends largely on the prosper ity of a community, and this pros perity depends in part upon the amount of money circulating there. The more money the people send away for things they can buy from the.r own merchants, the poorer the community will become and, con versely, the more they spend at home, the more the place will thrive. Do those who patronize distant mali order houses ever think of the
 harm done? If all the good people in Boston, for instance, should ig-
 nore the local merchants and for
 one year buy all their supplies in Chicago, Buffalo and New York, there
 would be For Sale" signs on the
 city hall. Young's, the public library
 and the old North church. The same
 principle applies to all communities.
 Patronage of the home merchant is I the life of aci ty. These mail order
 houses by offering attractive @ pre-,
 miums with indifferent goods, have drawn from us large amounts of money which, if spent at home, would have helped to pay for schools, pay ing, lighting and general civic i'm provemeut. Outside business houses
 do not pay any part of our city taxes.
 But, Business is Business" some - say. Yes, but business is more thai
 Ithat, 1t is reciprocity, and it should
 be apparent to every one that busi

 working for the same local interest," + as ourselves will be far more pro a ductive of good, than trading witt people who are far away, who bu, = nothing from us and whose only ir 2 terest in our community is tn

EMBRACED THE WRONG MAN.
Mayor Frink Of Shenandoah Receives
A Kiss Not Due

,.
Shenandoah, Aug. 10.-Mayor Frinll
of Shenandoah and ]. w. Maine are
neighbors, both are good looking,
about the same height and general ap-
pearance J. w. Maine and his wife
had a golden wedding the other day
and number of relatives from dis
lance came to help them celebrate and
among them was one lady, cousin,
who had not seen Mr.. Maine for many
years, but who concluded to walk
right in and surprise him. She was
directed to the house of the mayor by
mistake and opehing the door she
walked right in where the mayor was
sitting at the table calmly rejecting.
Walking up to him she embraced him
in the most approved cousin style.
Mr. Frink did not resist but he
blushed and looked surprised and the
lady stepped back and taking a second
look exclaimed: us it possible that |
have made a mistaken" Il do not
know" CALAMITY responded the mayor,
my name is Frink." Profuse apologies
followed and the lady was directed to
the home of Mr.. Maine. 1t was per-
haps more embarrassing to the lady
than to Mr.. Frink, but when she
learns that he is one of the best men
in the world and deacon in the
church as we'll as the mayor Of the
city she may rest assured that the
event was one of those incidents in
life's journey that will tinge the
memory with smiles as the years
pass by.

him, appears before King Herod at
his birthday feast. She dances at his
request and Herod is pleased with her
dancing and promises to grant her
whatever she may ask. Salome, still
smarting under repulse, asks for the
head Of John the Baptist. The feast Is
over; the head of John is given Sa,
lone, whose revenge is now complete.
She attempts to dance, but is stricken
by fear. She is terrified as she realizes
the horror of what she has done. She
is overwhelmed in abject fear. The
complete story is brought out in the
notes of the musicians.
The concluding number on the
evenings program struck the popular
chord with the immense audience. It
was a patriotic number entitled,
Fantasia Of Songs From the North
and South" by Bendix. 1t was a
lengthy number, but was as pleasing
as it was long. The audience was
thrilled by the patriotic airs, and when
the band had finished the selection,
the people arose and cheered.

Increases Sioux city Saloon License.

Sioux City, Aug. 10.-Pressure
brought to bear on the city council by
Sioux City liquor dealers and their
friends resulted in the cutting in half
Of the councils proposed liquor
license increase. AS originally planned
by the council the increase Of the city
license was from $500 to 5000, making
the. total annual city and county
license combined $500 year. Tho
council adopted an amendment to the
ordinance making the increase from
$500 to 5000, instead of from 5000 to
5000 as originally contemplated. Coun-
Gilman Jonathan w. Brown, superin-
tendent of accounts and finances,
voted against the adoption OF the
amendment. Defeated by 4 to l
vote on this proposition, he swung in
to line and voted yea when the ordi-
nance as amended was placed on its
second reading.

.KRYL and BAND
PLEASE MANY
TALENTED MUSICIANS APPEAR
At CHAUTAUQUA AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.
CONCERTS WERE FINE
Record Breaking Crowd Attends the
Evening Entertainment; Popular
and Classical Numbers are
Rendered.

Two programs Of band music tina
ran the gamut from popular airs to Sc
lections from grand opera. were the
offerings yesterday afternoon ant
evening at the chautauqua by Bohumil
Kryl and his thirty-f1ve talented mu
sicians. Everyone was delighted witt
the programs and enthusiasm ran high
Bohumir Kryl and his band proved
to be the best drawing card at the OF
tumwa chautauqua. An immense audi
ence greeted the faxen-haired direc
tor and his musicians in the afternoon
but this attendance was small to thai
of the evening, when every seat was
taken in the tent, and crowds sal
around on the outside and listened tt
the beautiful strains rendered by the
band. The attendance was a record
breaker. Both the afternoon and even
ing program contained many excel
lent compositions from the pens OIL
famous composers.
Thirty-five musicians beside Bohu
mir Kryl furnish the entertainment
and they are talented artists on their
various instruments Perched on q
small platform in front of the band
Kryl with his waving faxen hair and
his baton, directs his bandsmen. Kry
also renders cornet solo of his owl,
composition and emphasizes his tai
ent as an artist.
Several changes we're made in the
afternoon and evening program, and
one number which the audience ex
pected to hear, I'll Trovatore," with
the anvil chorus, was not given.
Solo Numbers Were Good.
The evening concert opened with
the rendition of Wagner's we'll known
"Tannhauser" overture. Jaroslav Chi
mera scored a hit when he rendered a
trombone solo, Josephine one Of
Kryl's own compositions. Red Cloud
the American Indian, who is also 8
member Of the organization, shows
his talents in the redition of a varia
ton on Annie Laurie" on his tuba
horn.
"Silvery Moon," one OF last seasons
song favorites, was rendered by the
band, and it proved to be one Of the
best numbers on the evening program
"Bunch of College Songs" by Tobani
was a catching little number played by
the band, which struck popular
chord. Carnival de Venice" was the
vehicle on which Kryl rode to greater
popularity in ':e evening concert. 1t
was an excellent composition and gave
the director-m 1sician-composer a
chance to show mis- abilities on the
cornet, which he did in an uncriticlz.
ing manner. For an encore he played o
popular air which seemed to please
the audience more than the classical
selection had.
Closing Number Best.
A descriptive fantasia, "a Vision of
Salome," gave the band an excellent
chance to bring in all the Instruments
ton, and was probably the best num-
Der on the evenings program. 1t was
a musical story based on the Bible
story of King Herod in ancient days.
