The payment of this personal tax has been In progress since November first, ana during last month the col lections aggregated one hundred and eighty-four thousand dollars, this In cluding tho $130,000 paid by the Union Pacific and Burlington railroads. UnlesB this personal tax Is paid on or before February first, Treasurer Souder will bo required by law to ls suo distress warrants.

There is rheumatism of the face the arms and the legs, and each of these kinds may have a different spinal cause, in fact there is nothing known that so well explains ,.the different va rieties of rheumatism as chiro practic.
