Neo'. Resident Receive. Letter From
Brother Long Mourned as Dead -
Another NsoIaite Nests Stranger
Who Proves to Be Brother Missing
Thirty Years,

Special to Times-Republican.
Nicola, Jan. 29.-Proof that truth has
wrought things stranger than fiction
is contained in developments in the
family of L. B. Johnson. Of this city,
who has just received letter from a
brother thought dead for many years.
Julian A. Johnson, son Of F. T. C. John
son, a prosperous farmers of this vicin-
ity, left here twenty-five years ago for
the west. He was then 20 years old.
Six months afterwards L. B. johnson
received a telegram from his younger
brother asking for slight financial aid
in entering a tour as a surveyor, stat
ing the money was needed TO purchase
an outfit. This was the last heard of
the young man until yesterday. and he
had been mourned as dead.
The letter Just received from the
absent one is from Weiser. Idaho. MAX
ing Inquiries about the family. Anoth.
er letter was also received here from
Julion A. johnson, addressed to F. Lee
johnson. another brother. but who three
years ago moved to Idaho and is now
living within 100 miles Of Weiser.

A similar incident affecting the life

ing coincidence. While in the union

train to take him to his destination in
Texas, A. C. Sullivan fell In with a
supposed stranger. both seeking COM
partnership to while away the time. In
the natural order Of conversation it
developed that both were destined for
the same place in the southwest in re-
Spouse to messages stating that their

sainst national banks in favor Of
ate banks.
u; Whers Inv Differed.

against national banks in favor Of
state banks.
Whsr. Law Differed.
Z In brief this Is the situation or rather
was the situation prior to the recent
Hesitation. The law governing the
taxation Of state and private banks
differed from that applied to national
banks. In the case Of the state banks,
taxes were levied against the corpora
ton, while in the case Of national
banks they were levied against the in
dividual shareholder. Under this condi-
ton OF affairs the state banks claimed
the right to Offset against their capital
stock whatever amount Of United
States bonds the bank owned. This
contention was upheld by the supreme
court Of the United States. The effect
OF this decision was that stock IN pri-
vate banks practically escaped taxation
by the convenient device Of buying
enough government bonds to equal
their capital stock at the time OF as
sessment. Since the federal govern
ment requires that national bank stock
shall be taxed at rate no greater
than that applied to other moneyed
capital in the various states, the Iowa
supreme court has ruled that the law
governing the taxation Of national
bank stock Is void. The last session OF
the legislature passed an act revising
the taxation laws of this state to REM
edy the defect but here and there over
the state various national banks are
bringing suits to recover the amount OF
taxes paid during the past Ave years.
A Serious Situation.
1t is apparent that this suit brings
the tax payers Of Marion and the state
Of Iowa face to face with a very ser
ious situation. II the contention Of the
plaintiff Is Sood and the courts SO hold
not only will II be necessary to refund
the $4,000 or $4,000 involved in this
action but settlement will have to be
made with all the other national banks
in the county. approximating a total
LOIS to the tax payers Of a very large
sum Of money-possibly as much as
100000.
The plaintiff has already won the
first round OF the battle. On the first
day Of November Judge Hays granted
q temporary Injunction restraining Al
Phelps from collecting the last half Of
the taxes for 1910. This matter came
on, for hearing In the December term OF
court and on Jan. g. 1912. Judge Fahey
filed his ruling granting the plea Of the

M MORE CALOMEL
FOR THEM
Persons Who Have Tried Dodson's
Liver Tone Find 1t Safer Than
calomel and Just as Sure.

Dodson's Liver Tone is a vegetable
substitute for calomel that starts the
liver to work just as successfully as
calomel does, and hundreds of persons
have stopped using the powerful drug
calomel' to use Dodson's Liver Tone,
mild vegetable liquid, instead. Gallo
mel often shakes up the liver too
much, and brings on bad after-effects
and sometimes salivation-a terrible
condition.
THE CENTURY Drug Store sells
Dodsons Liver Tone at fifty cents
per large bottle, and guarantees it to
be harmless to both children and
grown-ups. Remember this guaran'
tee. and try a bottle, next time your
liver gets lazy.

mittee?

ship. After the convention is organized committee on

mony offered before the national committee It may
summon other witnesses also and make It's own lnyest

It will report its finding to the convention and that body
