COMBINED SHOWS ARE COMING.
3jho Wheeler eros. Circus and Famous
 Stampede Wild West.

Au the contracts necessary for the 1nnumerable details of the exhibition of . laxye circus institution have been made for the early appearance in this city of the Wheeler Bros Circus and the famous Stampede Wild West. This 1s ono of the worlds largest amuse- maut enterprises, and because of it's Doculi1r combination it is probably the moGt interesting.
 II Q advertised by the management &nat 1t is without peer in point of per 1prmance, and it would seem as if this Do&9t Is justified in a combination which includes two such shows. The Wheeler Bros. has for years been con- ceded place in the front rang of cir c1x1eSs and in many points it has been given first place It could not be ex- eelIed for it's horses, the quality and completeness Of its equipment or the attention given to the numerous de- rnilD which are essential for the pro- 1zzct5on of a performance of unusual u11r1t Although the Wheeler Bros. hAE0 always reffained from featuring some fEe-second act as thriller, used purely for advertising purposes, their patrons have always found many sur pr1ses in store, and now they have come forward with the boss thriller of them ala Mexican bull fight, thrilling reproduction by the Mendaza troupe of genuine Mexican bull fight erA

To enable the performances of the two exhibitions to be given simultaneously and without cutting out single act of either has been a great hercuIean task, but it has been accomplished, and the result will be seen when the Wheeler Eros.

Rheumatic Remedy After SIX Years
 Suffering.
 "3S39 Cottage Grove. Ave, Chicago, H., March IT, 191S.-F'or six years, on and off, just as the weather would change. I have suffered agony from Rheumatism, the pains in my big toe, left foot, knees hips and groins being almost unbearable. At such times I hardly dared take a step for fear of another attack. I spent many dollars and became thoroughly disgusted with so-called Rheumatic remedies, until I tried RHEUMA. I was buying some liniment when your Peoria, Ill.,, agents recommended your remedy. I have since asked physicians to prescribe iRHEUMA FOR Rheumatism. The train crews on the Rock Island Rail- road, who saw me limping along using a cane, will verify my statements. Yours most sincerely" J. K. Green burg, News Agent Rock Island Rail- road.
 Anybody can afford to pay 50 cents to get rid of terrible Rheumatism, Sciatica, Gout, Lumbago, and that's all RHEUMA costs at The Lee & Osgood Co.,, and they say if it does not do ali that is claimed for it, money back
 RHEUMA costs very little, but it is one of the best remedies you can find to drive Rheumatic poisons from the system and bring back perfect health

Editorial in The New York Evening
Post: Most of our states are peren-
nially torn by questions Of taxation.
Expenditures are always rising. Vari-
Gus sections complain that they bear
an unjust share of the burden, and
various property owner insist upon
readjustment. We still hear echoes Of
the debate in New Jersey, which has
attempted by a bank tax and auto
mobile tax act to avoid a direct levy.
In Wisconsin county mass meetings
are protesting against q system that
has reduced the value of rentable
property 10 per cent and eats up two
thirds Of its income" Governor
Walsh's proposal in Massachusetts to
bolster the state revenues by retain
ing the whole corporation tax has
drawn a storm of protest o the
towns and cities which formerly shar-
cd it. The entire tax situation in
Massachusetts,' remarks the Spring
field republican, is rotten. The Sys-
TEN is fundamentally wrong. based as
it is upon the general property tax,
and every effort to readjust it means
a slambang opposition from some
where So many Of these agitations
relate to underlying principles that
students of state taxation naturally
ask, Are we really getting any
where?"
The main problems can be clearly
outlined. There is the separation OF
sources Of state and local revenue;
the endeavor to hold corporations and
individuals to the same account: the
movement against the "outworn" gen.
eral property tax; the unearned incre-
ment idea applied to land taxes. The
legislation of the last few years shows
plainly which Of these are being
brought to the front. It'has tended
mainly, to improvement in central
