The Burlington & Missouri River
railroad is getting after the tax col
lectors of Kansas with a sharp stick.
Tax Agent Pollard bad injunctions
issued Monday against county com
missioners and officials of Cheyenne,
Cloud, Norton, Rawlins, Republic.
Washington and Atchison counties.
A settlement has been made with Phil
lipps and Doniphan counties. The in
junction is to restrain the officials of
the various counties from beginning
proceedings for the collection of the
taxes. As is familiar to the readers of
these columns, the various railroads of
Kansas were taxed stiffly this year in
each county traversed. The Union
Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Rock
Island paid the taxes, but the Burling
ton & Missouri River and Santa Fe
fought the levy. In Doniphan county
the commissioners assessed the Bur
lington & Missouri River for 811.120.46
in 1893. when in 1892 the assessment
was $10,042.96. The road settled with
the commissioners for JS,000. The
road has tendered the commissioners
83 1 per cent of the amount due, as a
basis of litigation. Whether or not
the state board of railway assessors,
which is included in the injunction
proceedings, will accept this tender
rather than make a fight in the courts,
is not yet known at headquarters in
Omaha.

hereby given that the partnership

Burt and Cass Shake Hands.
Three prisoners escaped from the
Burt county jail at Tekamah oq Sun
day night by prying loose two iron
bars. The deputy jailor caught the
last one as he dropped from the win
dow, but the prisoner broke away, only
to be caught again eight miles north
of town. Another was caught Mon
day morning and the sheriff is now
scouring the country for the third man,
Fred Barton by name and a barber by
trade, who was imprisoned for burglary
of a barber shop at Craig.
At the meeting of the Associated
Charities last Sunday afternoon, a step
was taken in the right direction in the
appointment of an executive board,
whose business it shall be to find out
the worthiness or un worthiness of the
persons apply ine for help, thus pre
venting any imposition being practiced
upon the society. The purpose of the
organization is not to make people de
pendent upon it who are able to take
care of themselves, but to aid those
who, by reason of sickness or misfor
tune, are suffering for the necessities
of life. The public has been very
generous in donations for this work,
and the society proposes to see the
worthv ones helped thereby. The re
ports last Sunday showed that about
twenty-five families were receiving aid.
The clothing committee reported a
need of more apparel, especially foi
children. Shoes also are greatly
needed. Anything left with II. J.
Streight -r Benj. Hemple at the court
house will be taken care of and used
in this work. The next meeting oc
curs on Sunday, Jan. 14. at 3:30 p. m.
