Assessor Ames Will Sot Patera After
the Action of His Colleague la Pucbls

There will be no tax levied on
churches and Sunday Schools in Ara
pahoe county, Colo. This was stated
in the most positive terms by County
Assessor Willard L. Ames when seen
yesterday at his home, 2726 Franklin
street. Mr. Ames claims that such
property cannot legally be taxed In the
State of Colorado. This statement was
brought out by the action of County
Attorney Glenn, of Puebo, who ren
dered an opinion to the commissioners
of that county on Saturday, stating
that under the law churches and
church property might lawfully be
taxed. The commissioners concurred
in the opinion and will levy the tax.
"I will not tax churches or property
owned by church organizations and
used strictly for church purposes,
said County Assessor Ames. "I do
not believe that under the laws of the
state it could legally be done. Of
course, it could be taxed, but there
would be an Immediate appeal from the
action and, in my opinion, the appeal
would be sustained. Now, of course,
thera are cases where the church
owned the edifice built on leased
ground. In that case I should tax the
(round but not tVe house o worship.
The same appllc to Sunday school.
Tberw are aio cases whrre the church

organizations. I wUl exempt land on

It was somewhat early In the morning
when the Washington Star reporter
dropped Into the wet-goods department
Of a popular down-town hotel, where
there la always to be found a southern
contingent In the hotel, not the W.
O. department and standing at the
ecunter there he saw a well-known
Kentucktan of the older school. It was
about ten days after the election news
had been received from Kentucky, and
the Kentucklan'i brow was not crown
ed with sunlight or laurels. On the con
trary. It waa swathed In heavy gray
clcuda. It may be explained here that
the reporter was not in that locality
after a drink, but after a man who was
after a drink. At he stood talking to
him, hla attention was attracted by the
Kentucklan'a talk to the barkeeper, who
had shoved a well-worn black bottle
out In front of his customer.
"Take It away," auid the Kentuck
tan, gloomily, with a funereal wave of
hla hand.
"What's the matter with It?" asked
the surprised barkeeper. "It't the
tame Kentucky brand you've been
using for years."
"I know It," he aald, regretfully,
"but ever since Kentucky went repub
lican It doesn't seem to taste natural,
and I've got to try something else.
Suppose you give me a little ot that
Maryland rye."
"Certainly, sir," said the barkeeper,
deferentially, and turned to get It, but
topped half way.
"Excuse me, air," he ventured, "but
didn't Maryland go that way, toot"
The Kentucklan thrummed on the
counter with his knuckles nervously.
"That' so, that's so," he mused; then
he broke out fiercely: "I wonder If I've
got to drink water," and walked out of
the place Indignantly.

A well-known scientist, walking
along a London street, came across an
Itinerant Astronomer, and nnnlvlno- Tila
eye to the instrument waa astonished to
ee a beautiful full moon, although at
tbe time the moon was only In her sec

telescope at all, but simply a tube, with
a hole where the eye-piece should be
and a transparent photograph of a full
moon with a light behind it at the other
end. On the scientist asking the exhib
itor how he could so cheat the public the
man simply remarked: "It's ail right,

The question of Infected parrota.
which created such a sensation In Paris
twe year ago, seems to have again
come before the public. At Versailles,
at Malaona-Lamtte. says the Temps,
there have been reported the death of
several persona who have been stricken
down. It would seem, by this same mys
terious dlseaae. which waa aald to have
been brought Into France in 1S93 by
exotic parrota. The Inquiry made by
M. Dujardln-Ileaumetx for the Seine
consell d'hygiene resulted at first In th
conclusion that the deaths were merely
cant j of coincidence, but he haa again
returned to the aubject, seconded by Dr.
Dublef, and Issued his new report. In
this document M. Dujardln-Ueaumets
statea that It Is very possible that the
parrots may have something to do with
these epidemics. Ebcrth and Wolff, he
points out, have described bow parrota
have Imported Into Europe a septic dis
ease which can be determined by the
microscope. However, I'arlslana need
not be alarmed by the reports which
have recently been spread, for at no
bird dealer's haa there been discovered
a tingle diseased parrot. M. Nocard,
director of the Alfort Veterinary
school, haa, however, been making
some experiments, which la a distinct
ttep toward a solution of the problem
at to whether parrots can really spread
disease. "I waa unable," says M. No
card, "daring the epidemic of 1893 to
procure a tingle parrot imported from
America. But I have now got a packet
of the wings of birds which died during
the voyage from Buenos Ayret to
Havre. I have discovered a special mi
crobe,, extremely virulent, which does
not aeem to me to be that observed by
the Germans, Eberth and Wolff, and
fowls, mice and rabbits which I Inocu
lated with the microbe died In less than
forty-eight hours. I can even spread
the disease without having recource to
Inoculation. For example, by placing
ten dry wings at the bottom of the cage
Of a healthy parrot the bird died in lest
than twenty hours. The Investigation
would have been complete had I been
able to show that the death of persons
In 1893 was also due to the action ot
thla microbe, but I have seen none of

AS President of the United States,
Graver Cleveland has proved a total
failure. What he does not know about
statecraft or about the elements of loy
alty would fill a greater number of vol
umes than those that constitute the
Encyclopedia Britannlca. It was re
served for Grover Cleveland to nomi
nate Jesuit Senator White, of Louisi
ana, to be a member or the supreme
court of the United States Justice
White being the first Roman Catholic
In over a generation to attain euch a
posltlin. We do not think President
Harrison would have appointed any
Roman Catholic to be an associate jus
tice of the United States supreme court.
We do not think Grant, Hayes, Gar
field or Arthur would have elevated
any subject of the Pope of Rome to so
exalted a position. We know Lincoln
would not have thus betrayed his coun
try. H. P. Dahl, the American, all right
candidate for mayor of Anaconda, U
superintendent of the Doctor mine and
a property-owner in the city of Ana
conda. He is a man of sterling integ
rity and a citizen of repute. He pos
sesses executive ability of a high order,
and is as reliable as the sun. He lives
up to his privilege as a patriotic and
public-spirited American citizen. If
elected to the office of mayor of Ana
condaand we know he will be he
will make an ideal executive for the
city. A better, abler or wiser chief
magistrate of the municipality could
not be chosen. Mr. Dahl is honest,
capable and loyal. It is therefore the
duty of all loyal Americans of Ana
conda to rally to the support of the
man in whom they can place implicit
trust, and who, we feel assured, will
never betray any confidence which may
be reposed In him.
' Stand Together.
In February, 1895, we organized
Council 51 of Anaconda, Colo. At that
time it was almost worth a man's life
to talk A. P. A.-ism in this town, or to
even sympathize wltn them. xne
spring election came on. We had the
courago of our convictions, and placed
in the field a straight American ticket
and, with the help of the good Amer
icans in our town, elected it from top
to bottom by a nice majority. And, by
the way, we expect those same Ameri
cans to help us do the same thing
again this spring. Now, what we
want to explain to these same Ameri
can voters is that, being ou the outside
ot our organization, they may think
we want to monopolize all the
offices, but such is not the case; but,
realizing the importance 01 this ques
tion to the whole mass of the people,
we want men at the wheel who have
the courage of their convictions and
that we know will best serve the in
terests of all good American citizens,
both in and out of this organization,
and such we believe the nominees of
the American ticket of this town to be
men of ability; men of Integrity, men
who are scrupulously honest, and fur
thermore of a very high type. Now,
what we ask of the American voters of
the town of Anaconda is to stand just
where the stood one year ago, and we
will snow the opposition under bo deep
that hereafter there will be no doubt
as to Americanism in the town of Ana'
conda. Now, Iriends, buckle on your
armor. American citizens of Anacon
da place your X election day for good
government and American principles.

What C. A. Totter Says.
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 31, 1895. The
Howard Medicine Company. Gentle-'
men: I desire to sy to all who feel the
strength of their manhood slowly slip
ping away, whose ambition is at its
lowest ebb, whose mind is beclouded,
and the senses dulled, when you feel
dyspeptic, aod lose your 'self-respect,
that your blood is out of order, and all
you need is some of Howard's Vegetone
Blood Powder to tone up your system.
It will act almost instantly upon the
blood; you will feel the (renewed life
and vigor coursing through your sys
tem; you will feel the old-time grip In
your hands; your mind will be as active
as ever; your friends will observe the
flag of health flying in your face, and
you will feel like a new being. I have
not felt so well for five years as I do
since taking one package of your Blood
Powder, and I feel as strong and active
as ever. I weigh 15 pounds more than
ever in my life. The change is so
marked that it is the subject of com
ment when meeting my friends. I
recommend Howard's Vegetone Blood
Powder to be, as I believe, the greatest
blood-purifier on earth.
