ANOTHER J. BUNYAN.
He's In Topeka jail and Christian Il
His Hero.


In the county jail is q man without
a country who claims heaven as his
home. His name is Christian Ed Sny-
der-or Snyder Ed Christian: either one
will do. but he's partial to the name
of the hero of Pilgrims Progress" He
declares the Lord looked down from a
cloud and told him to collect $14, ,366
that st. Peter stole from Thomas JEFF
ferson. That's his life work, and his
detention in the county Jail is keeping
him from it.
He told county officers his home was
in Mt. Vernon, Ind, but q message re-
cefved by the sheriff today from Mt.
Vernon states the man lives in Louis
Vile, and that his name is Ed Smith.
1t Is probable the seeker OF lost funds
escaped from some asylum. He con-
hded to Undersheriff Hugh Larimer
this morning that he frequently talk
ed with Moses, st. Michael and tire
sons of Jacob.
They live in the asylum he volun-
teered.
Christian Ed Snyder is a CHEEKY little
man with gray beard and bright blue
eyes. He'll babble Of heaven to any
one who will listen. He thinks he was
dispatched from the. clouds to patch
up what was torn down." He says he
co-operates with the Christian Science
priests.
According to Jailer Mitch Bundy,
Christian il an exemplary prisoner.

the crisis Of November and December.
Part of their taxes available for 1913
use had 'een drawn in the closing
hours Of the Stubbs administration
and it was necessary to draw on the
1914 tax to meet 1913 bills. But the
states real financial trouble seems yet
to come.
It costs about $350,0o0 a month to
run the state, not including incidental
fees and accounts which find their
way into the state treasury and are
placed In the general revenue fund for
general use. 1t was estimated that
1t would cost 1871, ,287.6O to run the
state in 1914, not including the fee ac-
counts. A tax sufficient to raise this
sum was levied and the first half Of
this tax was collectable in December.
Just the amount of taxes which were
realized last month is not known at
the state house at this time. Some
times the December collection reaches
20 per cent of the grand total. This
year it was probably less than that
amount, about IS or 50 per cent Of the
total. state house officials estimate.
The short collection was due largely

EuGEN|C LAW UPSET.
Re~ulation of Marriaxe i'm Wisconsin
Declared Unconstitutional.

Milwaukee, Jan. 20.@The Wiscon-
sin eugenic law, which provides for
the issuance of marriage licenses only
on a certificate Of a clean bill OF
health, including the Wasserman test
from q physician, was this afternoon
declared unconstitutional by Judge +.
G. Eschweiler OF the circuit court.
The court allowed the writ Of man
damus compelling the county clerk to
issue a license to Alfred Peterson. The
case will later go to the supreme court.
Judge Eschweiler held that the
eurenic law is Of unreasonable statu-
tory limitations SO far as the pnysi-
clans fee is concerned and that 1t IL
nnrea sonable and q material impair
ment of the right to enter into matri-
mony and that it violates the consti-
tuition.

Secretary Wilson FAvOrs 1t in Matter
of Colorado Michigan Strike.

Washington, Jan. 20.-After today's
cabinet meeting Secretary Wilson, Of
the department of labor, announced he
favored a congressional inquiry into
both the Colorado and Michigan strike
situations. The secretary said he had
discussed the subject at length with
President Wilson but declined to say
what his attitude was. That the gov
ernment take immediate steps to ac-
quire possession of copper mines and
operate under union conditions, was
the demand of resolution by trade un-

December were for 10 per cent OF the
total tax collection for 1914 or $751;

an additional 5 per cent or $685.
1914 taxes available to meet the bills
for eleven months. The drawing Of
this $842,821.9O. leaves but $2.25S.-
465.7O Of the $3,371,2S7.s0 levied
available for the remainder Of this
year.
In other words. there will be an
average of but $235,990.13 q month
available for the remainder of the
year. Assuming that the states ex-
penses this year will be about the
year, a difference of nearly $115,OO0 q
month must be found somewhere to
meet the states claims, based on an
estimated expense of $35O,OOO a
month for actual running expenses.
OF course the state will have the
revenue from the corporation tax law,
which will perhaps bring $35O,0OO a
year into the state treasury. Then
there are prospects fer increased fee
accounts. But in the minds of many
state house officials and attaches, it
requires a tremendous stretch of the
imagination to figure how the Is per
cent OF the 1914 taxes can meet the
bills for eleven months, or even for ten
