increase Franklin County Tax.

Ottawa, Kan, Aug. 24.-Despite a
reduction in the state tax levy under
last year. ottawa citizens will pay a
higher tax next year. The Franklin
county levy has been increased, as
well as the levy of the Ottawa school
district. while the city tax is only
slightly less than last year. The total
Ottawa tax on 500 will be s2-s6,
against S2.s2 last year. The county's
tax levy is 1874, and>last year IL was
.3415. The increase is largely ac-
counted for in the levies for bridges
and sinking and interest.

Republican primaries are beginning
to give a line on how the people feel
toward this administration, which sup
plements and confirms what was
shown in the recent municipal cleo
tions in which democrats were so
Overwhelmingly successful.
A primary contest in point was that
in the eleventh Illinois district, where
Frank r. Reid, a critic of this admin

defeated Ira c. Copley, a member Of
the powerful house ways and means
committee, q multi millionaire, and
the owner of three newspapers in his

won, which substance is that his cam

Polly lives on farm near the In

are gentle and friendly, but sometimes
when the hunting is bad and the ra-

She was about to reach for the old
gun when the Indian pushed open the
screen door, and came into the
kitchen.
Gimme he said, reaching for the
cake. Polly saw that he had q knife
in his hand She gave him the cake.
He ate It quickly. She cut bread and

when the air was split with a terrible
sound. an Indian hunting cry. A mo-

Polly decided that her time had
