SETTLE OLD QUARREL.
Western Union and State Settle Their
Differences.

At last the battle of six years be-
tween the state of Kansas and the
Western Union Telegraph company
over the latter's franchise to do bust
ness in the state has been settled
amicably. The charter board and the
company officials have agreed upon
the sum of $1,1S0.SS as the proper sum
under the law for the Western Union
to pay for its charter to do business in
the state of Kansas.
When Attorney General Coleman
first started the custer suit against the
Western Union six years ago on the
grounds that it refused to pay it's char
ter fees, the supreme court of Kansas
held that the company must pay fees
on it's capital stock, but the supreme
court of the United States reversed the
decision of the state court, holding
that the Bush law was unconstitutional
and that the company should pay
charter fees on its capital invested in
Kansas only.
The Western Union is capitalized at
100 millions of dollars. The charter
board took the state tax commission
assessment against the company in the
sum of $2,206,762 as the basis for its
Kansas capital and levied the sum of
SI1SO.SS as charter fees. The COM
pany agrees to this fee. So after do
ing business in the state for a great
many years without paying any char
ter fees whaever, it will at once re-
imburse the treasury in the above
amount

st. Paul. May 19.-In the United
States circuit court of appeals today
Judge w. C. Hook handed down an
opinion affirming the order of the cir
cult court of the District of Columbia
in the case of the city and county of

constructing a system of waterworks.
The circuit court granted a temporary
injunction on the complainant's bill
and cross bill from the Denver water

Without loss OF time, the chief
rushed out into the street, and there
encountered a brother officer in the
person OF r. J. Hurley. A horse and
carriage was at once secured, and at

the chains being removed, and soon
the door was carefully opened.

his mind was centered upon himself.
We must lose ourselves before we can
find ourselves. Self analysis Is yalu-
able only TO learn our strength; II is
fatal II Il makes us dwell upon our
weaknesses.
Tlmld shy people are morbldly self
conscious. They think too much about
themselves. Their thoughts are turn

freedom, case aud grace they would
gain, what success In life they would
achieve.
Thousands OF young people ore held
back from undertaking what they Ions

Mrs John Halliday died last night at
1870 o'clock at the Rutland City hos
pital where she was taken yesterday
afternoon directly following an acct
dent at her home when she attempted
to pour kerosene oil on smouldering
wood fire in a range in the kitchen
Some idea Of the explosion may
be gained from the fact that the bot
tom of the can was blown entirely
out and the blazing oil forced all
over Mrs Halliday's clothing. 1t is
thought that there was about half
gallon of the fluid in the can at the
time.
Mrs. Halliday rushed down the
back stairs yelling as she went and
when she got into the back yard her
clothes were all afire. Mrs. Samuel

nearby clothes line and wrapping
Mrs. Halliday in them rolled her on
the ground in an attempt to put out
the fire.
They finally succeeded, but not un-
ill the unfortunate woman's clothes
were practically burned from her
body Some carpets on the line were
the most enectual in this work
