NO ST ATI: TAX THIS YfiAR
Fort lh(! first time in the history of
tin* state no mx for the support or
miintenanue of flic state government
or iiny of the state institnti ms, will he
levied.this year. The condition of the

Hv reason of this fact the governor,
secretary of state, and state treasurer,
by authority of law, have been enabled
to wip. out the state tax and relieve the
people of the state from its burden.
From this it follows that the only tax
to be levied generally upon the people
of the stale is that which is solely for
the Ismetit of the common schools.
Seven tenths of a mill on the state
valuation is directed by the slalute4o
!■ levied after reducing therefrom
F-’oo 000 of the license moneys received
by the state from the railroads. This
tax to lie paid by the people amounts
to the sum of $1 It is true
that in form it might he called a state
lax in fact, it is not so. It pertains in
no way to the expense of administering
the state government, or any of its
institutions. It includes no part of the
large appropriations to the state uni
versify and the normal -cbools nor of
the $lOO 000 coming to the fiee high
schools, nor the $OO,OOO to lie paid to
tin graded schools under appropt iation
of the last legislature It is collected
by the state, not for its benefit or use,

Thin great saving to the tax payers
lias been made without crippling the
state treasury or the danger of creating
any deficit which would have to be met
by levying a tax in the future.
The aliove was sent to us by the
governor. In reply let us say that the
governor and his advisors must be very
jsiorly posted or have completely
jumped their trolley. Do they imagine
that the people of the state are asleep or
do not remember?
The article states that for the first
time in the history of the state no
general tax will lie levied. There was
no general tax levied dming the four
years of the democratic administration
from 1*1)1 to IH9o and thi is but such a
short time ago that it is within the
memory of all. Bui this is not all. The
governor and his friends delilierately
attempt to convey a false impression to
profit thereby. The administration ex
(smses of the stale have not lieen re
duced, hail this been the case, then the
governor might claim Home credit but
it is not. The general fund from which
this large sum is taken, is further more
not filled up from taxes, but receives its
money from the railroad fees, corpora
tion and insurance fees and other out
side sources, The reason that plenty of
money will he on hand at the end of the
fiscal year is due to other conditions.
When Beck was in power the demo
cratic Attorney General .1, O'Conner
commenced on action against the U. S.
government to recover money due the
state on war claims and this money
was (.aid tc the state last vearamonnt
ing to about f‘ l oo udu. The extra n
cejpts of the railroad cor (Mirations caused
by an increased assessment also helped
to swell this fund. This is the money
now on hand that is causing tlie re
publican administration to have a
jollification party, and which they are
endeavoring to make the voters believe
the present administration saved.
The income of the general fund is
used to defray the state institution ex
penses ami its resources are derived as
stated above, ami to lie honest with the
people the resources have with few ex
ceptions always been large enough to
meet the excuses without a special levy
of a state tax The mill tax that has
always been levied, is not for the ex
penses of the state, lint for the different
school throughout the state. And this
tax will IMr levied the same as ever this
year, with the exception of #‘400,000,
which was taken out of the genersl
fund and placed to the school fund's
credit, at the same time the increased
assessment of pmjstrty fully makes up
for this Statements like the letter
from the governor generally have the
effect to catch votes, but this time the
statement is far enough in advance that
the (s-ople will tie able to see for them
selves that the statement is false and
that lie ir taxes will Is- as high as ever

CHILDREN OF THE STAGE.

It is au odd tact, says Alex

Magazine, that poverty drives few
children to the stage door, and, inva
riably, the successful Juvenile actor
Is the child of comparative wealth.
I>oreß Orlmm, star at the Children’s
theater last season, may he said to
hare a fortune in his own right, and
even brain enough to manage it; for,
during his summer vacation from
stage work, It is his delight to buy
out a news store, build up a large
custom, then sell out at a groat ad
vance in the fall. In fact, he secures
all his theatrical engagements, and
makes his own terms. Anita Heckler
lias a prosperous father, yet this little
maid is the fourth of a family of girls
to grace the stage, and so it goes,
through the list of the successful ones,
at least Ido not recall an instance,
however, where a father capable of
earning a living has wished to place
his children on the stage; it 1s inva
riably the mother who is ambitious
that her youngsters pursue a his
trionic career.

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kldney-i Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for Us
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fifty
cent and one dollar
es. You may have a
sample bottle by mail Home of Swamp-Root,
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

PHOTOS OF FREAKS.
Specialty II aa Proved l.ncrutlve to
Photographer in Ootlmni—“Tukea”
Only Living (,'nrloaltlea.
Not far from the Cooper Union la a
photograph gallery devoted almost en
tirely to freaks, aaya the New York
Times. Sometimes a few pugilists
get In there, but as a general thing
they patronize a shop kept by an ex
puglllst a little further down the
Street.
In the freaks’ shop you will find at
almost any hour of the day giants and
dwarfs, skeletons and fat men, hu
man pincushions and sword swallow
ers—in fact anything that Is included
In the museum and circus line, on ex
hibition from ten cents to one dollar.
Nothing In the way of a legitimate
freak escapes. But once let an out
sider —that is, a man whom the
patrSns of the show do not consider a
genuine freak, like the sole Mar
tinique survivor, at Barnum's —get In
there, and he gets no picture.
The photograpner began with pick
ing up chance freaks In the circus
about ten years ago. He personally
sought out freaks and took commis
sion on the number of photographs
sold In the shows. The freak photog
rapher doesn’t do that now. He
knows that he has a facility for photo
graphing freaks better than anybody
else, Jpst as others excel in sporting
scenes and some In handsomely
gowned women. Every man. of any
good, In every profession has his
strong point; and this man's Is In
posing freaks to the best advantage.
His name Is on pictures sold In
freak shows In New York or any
where else this side of San Francisco.
His bank account would compare
favorably with fhe bank accounts of
many fashionable photographers.
PUZZLES THE WISEST MEN.
Why the Intestine* Bo Sot Dlaest
Theuiael vea la Problem—t on
cluaiona of One Sciential.
The digestive tube is filled with fer
ments capable of attacking, of destroy
ing and of transforming the food with
which they come in contact, but these
ferments attack neither the walls of the
intestines nor the parasites which often
live in abundance on these wails, says
Public Opinion. What causes this con
dition? The question has often been
discussed and now the researches of M.
E. Weinland on the tryptic ferment
again bring the matter forward.
In 18111 Frenzei stated that he believed
the protection enjoyed by the intes
tines was due to the antiferments which
are secreted by the living tissues. An
experiment of M. Weinland along this
line Is very interesting. A mixture was
made of flbrine and of trypsine or of
pepsin and the whole was placed to di
gest after a little juice of ascarls was
added. No digestion occurred. The ex
periment may be prolonged Indefinitely,
but the ferment does not attack the
flbrlne when the anti-ferment is pres
ent. Thus It Is not the living tissues
which resist digestion, but the Juices
which Impregnate them and which they
secrete
