DRAYS COMBINE
Combination of Various Lines Of
City Effected Last Week.
BUYS OUT PHILLIPS BUSINESS
Old Veteran Disposes of Interest
and Will Retire.

A deal was closed last week through
which the dray and transfer business
of this city has been consolidated and
hereafter that line Of business will be
controlled by an organization COM
posed of John Stephens, Charles Mil
Ter, James Bickford and William
Wykof. The company took over the
dray and transfer line of John
Phillips and it is said has capital in
vested to the amount Of $4,000.
Phillips, who has been in the dray
and transfer business in this city for a
number Of years, stated that he hao
built up an excellent patronage and had
no complaint to make, but the boys
had made him an offer which he de
cided was advantageous IN speaking
of the business men Of the city Phil
lips remarked that he had never beer
treated better by a class Of men wht
he found always ready to meet mai
half way and willing to do what was
right and just.
The combination of the business
will work no disadvantage upon thu
public and on the other hand will b.
considerable saving to those interested
in this particular line.

in this effort that we are making. We
propose to accomplish the result aimed
at, and entertain no doubt of our full
success. When this is accomplished
new era Of prosperity will dawn upon
the people of the state by reason of the
reform, and low tax rate will in
vite the capitalist to make his invest
ments and the intending settler to
make his home amoung us.
$50 far as the accumulation of mon
eys by reason of fixed levies is concer-
ned, you need have no fear. Levies
fixed by the statutes of the state were
arranged upon previous valuations Of
property, and when it becomes appar-
ent to the state board equalization that
these levies will produce revenue in
excess Of that which is required it is
the duty of the state board to lessen
them proportionately. And good rea-
sons exists even for positive statutory
enactment fixing levy at certain
figure, because under such statute, if
the interests Of a certain fund will re-
quire the entire levy to be made, then
by mandamus proceedings any citizen
interested may compel the board to
make such levies. The constitution of
our state in effect forbids all excessive
levy, and if the state board of equali-
zation, even following the strict letter
of the statue, would attempt to make
a levy that would create fund greatly
in excess of that actually required,
they could be estopped from so do
ing by proper action brought. The
decisions Of the higher courts Of other
states affirm the correctness of this
principal that / have laid down, SO
there need be no fears on that ques-
ton.
"The fixed levy for school purposes
under our statues may present another
difficulty. Under the minimum rate,
i'll some counties an amount in excess
of requirements may be raised. When
we recollect, however, that even at the
maximum tax rates for school pur-
poses, when imposed in several counties
more than half Of the school districts
have been compelled to issue tax levies
sometimes as high as Is mills, which
is the limit PERMITTED, then we can
readily see that even if the minimum
levy for school purposes must be
raised there is very little opportunity
of hardship bcii.. eorked by the ac-
emulation Of . large fund. | have
doubts whether or not this provision
Of the law rela-'"g TO county 1evies is
mandatory or directory, and am now
making an investigation Of the matter.
The attorney general came to the CON
clusion that tAs s.ool tax was manda-
tory, but his opinion is tentative to a
certain extent, and am strongly in
clined to believe that pursuing the in.
vestigation further we will find thai
the provisions of the law referred te
are directory or and not mandatory
If such is the case the only objection
and it is comparatively an unimport-
ant one, that can be lcgitimately urg

At the meeting of the commercial
club held last Thursday evening, the
annual election of officers was held as
provided by the bylaws of the organi-
zation. President Sims, who has
served the club most faithfully and
well, was urged to remain at the
head Of the body for another year and
in brief speech thanked the mem
bers for their confidence in him, shown
through this tender of further honors,
but declined, stating that there were
others no doubt who could serve the
club with greater efficiency.
DR. HI. j. Smith was then elected
president, Martin Wagner, first vice
president, Frank McGrane, second vice
president, and Frank Van Deventer,
secretary and treasurer. The govern.

named officers and +. L. Leonard, j.

committees as yet has not been an
nounced by President Smith but it is
safe to say that if as good judgment is
shown in the selection of the various
committees as the club displayed in
the election of its officers the organiza-
tion will take on new life

CHEESE AS FOOD.

Cheese contains all the essentials
of human food, according to a
pamphlet recently issued by the de-
partment of agriculture. The popu-
lar belief that cheese, even when
green or unripened, is difficult of d.
gestion is not justified. The milk
solids in cheese are very digestible
and make an almost perfect food.
With the addition OF rennet and the
development of Tactic acid in cheese
making, some chemical changes take
place; but these do not transform di-
gestible solids in milk into indigest-
ible solids in cheese. The digestive
disturbances attributed to peculiari-
ties in the cheese itself are probably
due merely to over-eating, or to the
custom of eating cheese only at the
close Of the meal, when one has al
ready had more than enough food.

sTRADIvARI.

Antonio Stradivari, the italian vi.
olin maker, was born in 1649 and
died in 1887. He was the pupil Of
Nicoli Amat, in whose employment
he remained until about 1879,
when he began making violins on his
own account. He settled the typical
pattern of the Cremona violin end
his instruments, for tone and finish,
have never yet been excelled. His
improvements consisted chiefly in
lowering the height Of the arch of
the belly, in making the four corner
blocks more massive, In giving great
er curvature to the middle ribs. in
altering the setting of the sound
holes and in making the scroll more
massive and prominent. He reached
his greatest perfection in his art
about l714. He also made many
other kinds Of musical instruments.
but it is on his yiolins of all kinds
that his fame rests.
There are many so-called Stradi-
yari yiolins in existence, but few, if
any Of them, are genuine.
