F. AHLERS. News and Comment. Tax Levy at Parsons. Parsons Sun: The city council met in special called session last night and made the tax levy for the ensuing year.

The levy was made on total property valuation of 561. The report of the ways and means committee showed that the city could raise on this valuation 21 without exceeding the limit allowed by the law. This will not be enough to pay the running expenses of the city by about $25,000, but it is as much as the city can raise by taxation. The levies were made for the different funds as follows: General mills, producing $9,514.53. Improvement fund- mills, producing $9,514.53.

Interest fund mills, producing $20,708.09. Sinking mills, producing $5,596.78. Electric Light producing $8,820.53. Water mills, producing $6,313.17. Park mills, producing $783.54.

Sewer and Septic Tank fund.00034 mills, producing $3,805.81. Total levy for all producing a total of $68,135.21. The total valuation of all property in the city last year was $1,572,374, and on this was raised for all purposes $53.074.86. The entire tax for all purposes this year, including city, state, county and school taxes will be about $1.26 on each hundred dollars, while last year it was of each hundred dollars.

Topeka, Aug. 28: -When the Sat- urday Evening Post printed a.

story two weeks ago about marvelous wheat discovered in Alaska by Abraham Adams, F. D. Coburn pronounced the story a fake, and predicted that within a short time the promoters would be trying to sell the wheat at about $2 an ounce. This has come true with the exception of the price. Instead of $2 911 ounce, they want $20 a bushel.

Mr. Coburn received a letter from al farmer in Republic county today inclosing 2 circular advertising the Alaska wheat, and printing most of the pictures and the items which were features of the Post story. There are pictures showing the wheat stalks as tall as a man, and other pictures of fields shrowing the wheat just heading out where the wheat is up 10 a man's. shoulders. The history of the discovery and of what Adams has done are set out' in the exact words of the Saturday Evening Post story.

The promoters go under the name of The Adams-Hobe Seed Grain company of Juliaetta, and in the circular it is expressly stated that this seed can only be obtained from them and that in ordering the money must be sent with the order or 110 wheat will be forthcoming. State experiment stations have purchased some of this wheat and experimented with it. They have definitely identified the grain as the Egyptian or seven-headed wheat. It is absolutely worthless for flour, and is grown only for hog feed in certain localities. A letter has been received in Topeka from George Horace Lorimer, editor of the Post.

saying that he had sent a man to Idaho to investigate the Alaska wheat and that shortly a complete exposure of the whole scheme would be made. Galesburg Item: A large force of men, including two extra crews, have been at work on this division of the Katy from Parsons to Piqua, repairing the road, and it has been rumored in railroad cireles on very good attthority that two Kansas City passenger trains and also another through freight train will be taken from the main line which runs through Erie 'and Stark and will in a very few weeks pass over this division of the Katy, thus giving Galesburg two passenger trains north and three south each day. The trains which will probably be detoured through Galesburg will be 21 and 26. Hutchinson News: A story told by the been late revived Ira D. Sankeyon his himself, has since death.

One day he entered a Swiss shop and asked to see some music boxes. The salesman graciously showed him. number, but none was what he wanted. "Have you none that will play sacred music?" he asked. "Why," answered the salesman, we have a number that will play a sort of halfway sacred music." "What inquired Mr.

Sankey. these Moody and Sankey hymns; I can't imagine what the people see in them; but we sell thousands of the boxes that play them. We have enormous a orders for these boxes," continued the salesman, "from all parts of Europe," and then he added, apologetically, "It's a matter of business you know, with us." Not for Him. There is a certain Chanute man and his neighbor who spend every evening in heated arguments over the national campaign. Recently the Certain Man noticed that his Neighbor's little boy was wearing a Bryan cap, and not to be outdone, sent both his boys.

downtown after Taft headgear. If he could not out-talk his democratic neighbor, he could at least outadvertise him. As it happened the Taft caps were all gone, so the obliging and enterprising, merchant substituted Bryan This suited the boys all right, but father nearly fainted when they trudged proudly home, past the Neighbor's residence. He fired the caps back downtown with a choice assortment of language regarding the imbecility of merchants in general. NO RELATIVES CAN BE FOUND.

M. Potter is preparing to start back to Europe about the 5th of next month in response to a letter from the company that is rais-1 ing the funds for the building of the Cherryvale, Oklahoma Southwestern railroad that it was important that he turn over the stock cer-. tificates to the' French capitalists who will furnish the "dough" in person, says the Caney Chronicle. The stock certificates have all been. signed by Mr.

Porter as president of. the company, and were expressed to the stock brokerage company some time ago. The plans for raising the money have all been made, and it will coma from the French people. A subsidary company of Frenchmen has been formed, which will have the same powers and stand in the same relation with the French laws as the company itself does in this country. Of the two lines, one will extend to the southwest, into and through El Paso, while the other, and the line that will in all probability be built first, will go from Caney to Arkansas, through the rich coal and mineral and timber lands of eastern Oklahoma and Arkansas, having its terminus at Fayetteville.

The latter line will have its terminals here, with its roundhouses, yardage, machine shops, giving us all the advantages Parsons has with the terminal division of the K. T. It is the intention of the company to extend this line on to Wichita. Cyko, the best developing paper. The View Studio, 10 South Highland.
