FEWER DOGS IN KANSAS NOW
Additional School and Property A.
sessments Make Keeping of Ca
mines Too Expensive.

The buffalo that once roamed the
Kansas prairies was hunted out of
existence, but the Kansas dog is be-
ing taxed out of existence. At least
the figures compiled by county asses
sors indicate it.
Last year the legislature passed a
law putting a school and a property
tax on all dogs. This was in addition
to the city license fees charged in
every town in the state. According
to the reports received by the state
board of agriculture there were 1885,
126 dogs found in Kansas March l,
1914, while there were 1S4,531 dogs in
the state on the same date a year
before.
Nearly every county is reporting
fewer CANNES than in 1918. Rens
county, in 1918, reported 1896 dogs.
This year the report shows only 1886.
a decrease of 1,611. Sedgwick, in
1913, reported 4,046 dogs; in 1914
only 3.612. In Shawnee county the
number has dropped from 1886 tc
1928. The triple tax, state, county
and city, is too much for the dog

RICH KANSAS FARMER SLAIN
Dead Body of Henry Tinm Found in
His Home Near MuIvane-
Shot From Rear.

Henry Timm, a wealthy bachelor, So
years old, was found dead in his house
six miles east of Mulvane, at 10: 80
o'clock the other morning by Irwin
Howard, who went to rent land. A
charge from a shotgun had entered
the right side of his head. He had
been dead many hours. He evidently
was sorting his laundry when shot
from behind.
Mr.. Timm was a brother of John
Timm, who went to the Kansas peni-
Tertiary twenty years ago for shoot
ing Sam Butts, banker, while he ate
his supper Butts recovered and
T1mm was pardoned.
Will Warren, another of the bank
ers, was tried at Wellington for re-
ceiving funds when the bank was
failing At the trial John Timm shot
him in the back. He recovered and
was acquitted. Timm was tried for
shooting Warren, but an insanity plea
got him free.
John Timm was in Mulvane recent
ly after several years absence, fol-
lowing a quarrel with his brother,
Henry. He drove out of the neighbor-
hood, saying he was going to the
farm. He has not been seen since.

At certain college custom ordains
that at examination time each of the
candidates shall write the following
pledge at the bottom of his papers:
Il hereby declare, on my honor. that

One student, after handing in one
of the papers. suddenly remembered
that in his haste he had omitted to
write the oath. On the following day
he sought out one of the examiners
and told him that he had forgotten
to put the required pledge on his pa
per.
The examiner looked at him over
the top of his glasses and dryly re-
marked:

pulled up his span before the doors of
the inn, which was presided over by a
lady of generous heart and equal pro-
portions. When he went to the desk
to engage a room White was apollo

on account of the influx of visitors, to
give him separate chamber.

SISTERS TRICK
But IL Ait Came Out Right.

How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to a coffee fiend
Is an interesting tale:
81 was a coffee fiend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. / Knocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of piping hot Postum for my morn
Ing cup of coffee but did not tell me
what it was. I noticed the richness
of 1t and remarked that the coffee
tasted fine but my sister did not tell
me I was drinking Postum for fear I
might not take any more.
She kept the secret and kept CIV
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
I grew stronger, more tire1ess, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
a clearness to my eyes, then she told
me of the health-giving, nerve
Strengthening life-saver she had given
me in place of my morning coffee.
From that time became a disciple
of Postum and no words can do JUS
tice in telling the good this cereal
drink did me. I VIII not try to tell 1t.
for only after having used 1t can one
be convinced OF its merits"

cANADA's HUGE GRAIN BINS
Port Arthur Paper 10 Peeved at the
Mention OF Kansas City Elevators.

From the Port Arthur (Canada) Evening Chronicle
Kansas City gains the attention of
the New York Evening Post and is
given five inches Of space in that ad-
mirable newspaper by reason of In
creasing the capacity Of grain ele-
.lvator there. The Evening Post says:
when the additions and alterations
to its huge grain elevator at Kansas
Missouri Pacif1c-Iron Mountain rail-
road will have one of the largest
plants of its kind in the world"
The present capacity of the Kansas
City product is one million bushels.
When 1t gains its promised stature
and becomes zone Of the largest in
the world it will have a capacity of
2.133.000 bushels.
At the mention of grain elevators
the twin ports at the head Of the lakes
prick up their ears and take notice.
The name of Lloyd-George at a Tory
garden party. or of President Wilson
at a bankers convention catches at
tention no quicker than the word "ele-
vator" in the hearing of Port Arthur
Fort William man. Toronto prides
itself on its churches; Pittsburgh
specializes on millionaires; Chicago
has its pork and Boston its pork and
beans for us, we rise to fame on
the bins of our elevators, and he who
says zone OF the largest" about any
old two-million-bushel outfit in Mis-
souri, must withdraw the statement or
name the place and weapons.
If the Evening Post had said zone
of the largest in Missouri" or in the
general but expressive American
phrase had said some elevator" we
wouldn't have minded it so much, but
when it describes this etunted Mis-
eouri receptacle as lone of the largest
grain elevators in the world then it
is time to kick. Why, two-million-
bushel elevators are so common here
abouts that the secretary of the board
of trade does not point them out to
distinguished visitors. Nothing could
show clearer than that what we think
of two-million-bushel elevators.
When we have pointed to the $500.
000-bushel c. N. r. elevator and thu
1900, 000-bushel G. P. R. elevator ami
the 0,000-bushel G. T. P. elevator;
then to the 0O,o0O-bushel Dominion
Government elevator which is only
the first unit of what is to be a 30
million-bushel plant, by that time the
air is so full of millions that the
listener would be annoyed if we both
cred him with mention of a mere two
million-bushel affair. So we just lump
the balance together and describe the
grand total of 45-million-bushel capac-
ity already standing at the head of
the lakes.
Upon the basis upon which Kansas
City got five inches of space in the
Evening Post we claim a compliment
tary writeup of at least three columns
and in the article we would state that
In one respect we are like Kansas
Cfty-when it is a question of big ele-
vators we also are from Missouri.

DIGS UP CAN OF OLD COINS
Atchison Contractor Finds Gold and
Silver Worth 40 While Exca-
waiting for Building.

William Jackson unearthed a can
of money on the site that is to be oc-
cupied by the Eagles club house at
Atchison. The can contained $40 in
gold and silver coins, the dates rang
ing from 1S43 to 1855. Jackson, who
is the contractor doing the excavat-
ing, had dug down about five feet
when the can stuck to the point of
his pick
1t is believed the money was not
purposely buried where it was found,
but that it was dug up at some other
place and carried to the club house
site when ditch there was filed
