COMPROMISE COCKROBIN.
Who made the tax compromise?
Who settled the suits?
Not we, say the senate,
For not for one minute —
In no way or guise
Was the tax compromise
In our acts or our moots
Wq cot-flo/T nrt aiifta
Who made the tax compromise?
Who settled the suits?
Not we, say the house,
For we smelt a mouse.
Oh, we were too wise
To make compromise.
You bet your best boots
We settled no suits.
Who made the tax compromise?
Who settled the suits?
Not I, said Bob Rogers,
From stumps I’ll tell codgers
Red under the collar
I asked the last dollar.
All the record refutes
That I settled the suits.
Who made the tax compromise?
Who settled the suits?
Not we, say the court,
(Although that’s our forte.)
In the board power lies
To make compromise. ‘
It asked us to approve
But we sidestepped, by Jove!
Who made the tax compromise?
Who settled the suits?
We, we, say the board.
Although Rogers roared
We cut down the taxes
With our little axes,
And care not who rants
About frenzied fee-nance.

The initial millinery opening

decorated parlors Tuesday, and
during the entire day was
thronged with the ladies of this

toque to the elaborate dress hats
which seemed to be more en
chanting tnan ever oeiore, ana
this display, presided over by

popular places of business,
TO THE INSURING PUBLIC.
For many years this agency
has written unquestioned and un
questionable fire insurance in
companies that, with two or three
exceptions, have been compelled
to withdraw from the state on
account of the anti-trust law.
However, we now represent 14
old line stock companies, with
paid-up cash capital and with in
demnifying bonds, (not Fidelity
bonds, note the difference), and
are prepared to issue you insur
ance just as reliable as any we
have here-to-fore written, to the
j limit of the carrying capacity of
i the companies.
We propose, as we have always
done, to see that your losses are
promptly and fairly adjusted and
can certainly render you better
I service than can strangers or

We write farm property and

VILLAGE CREEK
DRAINAGE DISTRICT.
The bill introduced in the sen
ate asking for the creation of a
drainage district along Village
creek in Jackson county and call
ing for a tax levy of five mills
upon all real property east of
White river and within one mile
of Village creek, two mills within
two miles of Village creek and
one mill within three miles of
said creek, has been referred to
the committee on levees of that
body.
The farmers along Village
creek are as a rule in favor of
the bill, also some of the leading
merchants of this city who have
land interests there, yet would
bear a large burden of the taxa
: tion by reason of other property
not to be benefitted, but the sen
timent of the large majority of
the property owners of this city,
is strong against tne propuseu
i legislation. Both sides will doubt
I less be heard by the senate com
' mittee before the bill is reported,

! the bill to take charge of the
i work are M. S. Littleton, I.Gold
