A dollar paid in advance will be as good as a dollar and a half at the end of your time. 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.

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. A Card.
