emily Indifference. Some people are
naturally neat and abhor dirt. Others
are nndisturbed by the thought of dirt.
Others seem to relish it. The present
effort of %sanitarians is to convince all
of the second and third classes that
their bodily health and possibly their
lives are dependent upon the degree
of cleanliness which they maintain.

most people thought that foul smell

agitation against dirt, against flies and
other factors and the spread of disease
is to establish a high standard of clean
illness both of cities and individuals, to
make everyone want to keep his
premises clean in the last degree, to
make each citizen alert to complain
of any sort Of refuse accumulation, to
constitute every householder a sanitary

Yankton dispatch: Friends here are
deeply concerned over the disappear
ance of Grace Stringer. a young girl of
seventeen years. who left the home If
her employer, Mr.. O'Connell, Satur-
day night and has not been seen since.
The girl left behind a shorI note saying
there twas a man in the case" She
was seen at the Milwaukee station
about the time the nine o'clock train
left for the west. The girl had been
somewhat indiscreet the past year and
it is feared white slavers have picked
her up. All efforts on the part Of
officers to locate the missing girl have
! proved fruitless. Publicity has been
asked for In the hopes of finding The
girl, who has a noticeable lisp in
her voice.
Madison really ought to have a band.
Referring to the matter today, q
member of the former band remarked
that it was "too bad Madison Is
without a band, IS there is some of
the hest material in the state here to
make up a frstclass band" And 1t
is a fact. OF curse it takes money to
sustain a band. The players cannot
be expected to devote their time ana
money to keeping up the organization,
buying music, etc. Hence, it devolves
upon the public to lend a hand and
put up come good money to sustain
such an organization. With all the
other good things in Madison, a band
would be a source of pleasure to
every resident of the city, and such
an organization is needed.

RESIGNATION OF
HUERTA UNLIKELY
RumOr Says TrevinO VIII Succeed Him,
But Presidents Friends Say No
Truth in Report

Mexico City. Mex, Aug. 24-Rumors
continue that Huerta is considering re-
signing, possibly in favor Of Gen.
Geronimo TrevinO. but there is no sound
basis for these assertions. Those close
to the executive declare he will not
alter the stand he has taken and viii
await WashingtOn's action. The public
opinion is expressed here that there
will be a swift elimination of all
peaceable relations if congress is given
an opportunity for a free debate on
president Wilson's statement of the
facts in the case.
Senior GambOa, minister Of foreign
affairs denies the reports that Mexico
will make any proposal to the United
States, but expresses the hope that
Washington might reply to Mexico's
note rejecting the American demands.
Mr. Lind. president Wilson's personal
representative, maintains cordial rela-
lions with the foreign Office, but little
has been done during the last few days
by him and senior GambOa which would
be calculated to alter the situation. At
present, official negotiations between
the two countries have ceased, Mr.. Lind
being now a spectator of events rather
than an actor. 1t is not expected that
he viii leave here before president
Wilson's message is read

DISHONESTY OF
COUNTIES BLAME D
Commissioners Will Hold an
Open Discussion on Tax
Rate Tuesday.

The states deficit, estimated to run
into hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and blamed on false assessments of diff
ferent counties, is held responsible for
the present state tax rate of 40 cents,
which has been received by the county
commissioners. The present rate, it is
said, is the highest IN years. Last year
the rate was 20 % cents on the 800
valuation. Five percent of the present
rate. however, Is Tor confederate pen
sions, fixed by a recent constitutional
amendment that the voters of the state
passed almost unanimously
A meeting of the commissioners court
will be held in the county court room
at o'clock Tuesday afternoon. A dis
cussion of the inequalities of assessments
by the different counties Of the state,
held before the last meeting OF the COM
missioners, will be the topic at the
meeting Tuesday. 1t IS probable that
the county tax rate will be fixed at this
time. and taxpayers are expected to be
present.
"AIanv counties of Texas contribute
less to the state In taxes than they re-
ceive IN return from the state, through
the state school fund and other sources
of revenue" said county judge A S. ].
EvIar. 1T is a pity that deficit in
assessment counties cannot be estimated
with some exactness. It would prob
ably run into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars, and may be largely respOn-
sible for the present increased tax rate,
the honest counties being compelled to
make up the deficit of the dishonest
counties.
1.-The commissioners court would be
glad to have the facts from all &C
quainted with these false assessments
presented at its meeting tomorrow"
Tt is also suggested that any member
of the legal profession, interested in this
subject, might examine a decision of
the supreme court of Texas, found in
10th Southwestern Reporter, and also
the decision of the United States su-
preme court cited in this opinion, dis
cussing the effect of the inequality of
taxation. Some who have read these
opinions believe that If the facts of the
inequality of assessments by the differ
ent counties of the state were clearly
presented to the courts that the state
of Texas would not be able to collect
any taxes until it remedied these condi-
lions.

The French government declares

a rumor emanating from apparently
well informed circles included that

an early date.
It was pointed out that the question
of the acceptability of senior de la

was also declared that he was per-

ADVENT OF THE SLIT SKIRT
PROPHESIED 200 YEARS AGO
'There Is Naught to Be Ashamed of
in That Which God Hath Created"
Said Scotch NObleman

Cornish, Colo, Aug. 25.-The arrival
of the diaphanous, the hobble and the
slit skirt is the fulfilment of the
prophecy and the hopes of sir Charles
De Puyster Goodwin. of Scotland, who
lived 200 years ago, according to an an
cient manuscript found by Miss Faith
Corson Smith in an old trunk IN the
attic of her home.
The manuscript, dated November 10,
1904, says in part:
'Perhaps posterity will learn that
there is naUght to be ashamed in that
which God hath created. no matter what
station in life may be mentioned.
'sThe creator never meant men and
women to be so bUTdened with velvet
ribbons. lace and powder that his handi-
work should be concealed or distorted"
Sir Goodwin lived on the Scottish side
of the border until he became involved
in political offences that made him a
fugitive to London, where the fashions
of the time evoked his displeasure and
his pophecy.
