(From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, April 11.—(Special)—The state tax levy will not be increased as the result of the work of the legislature, which has just closed, but will remain at 3.4 mills on the dollar for the taxable value of the property of the state. The legislature authorized a raise in the amount to be collected by taxatipn from $2,250.000 a year to $2,00,000 a year, but this slight differ- ence will easily be made up by the natural bids having more than one saloon for each 1,00 inhabitants of a city or town, except that a town less than 1,000 may have one saloon. But it is also provided that there shall be no arbitrary and immediate reduc- tion In the number of saloons, but when saloons are closed for violation of law they shall not be reopened when this would re- sult in increasing the number beyond one to each 1,000 population. In this way there is sure to be gradual reduction In the num- ber of saloons. In Davenport, for in- stance, there is one saloon for each 300 of population. The effect of the law will be to make saloon keepers try harder to avoid a clash with the law in such cities, for if their places are once closed they will $have difficulty in getting a start again. This bill, with another which for- bids brewer ownership of saloons, it is be- lieved will have a wholesome effect on the saloon business of the state. A Curb on the Drug Stores, The legislature near the hour of closing finally passed a bill to put a curb on the whisky drug stores in lowa, about which there has been more complaint than about the saloons. The bill requires that the permit blanks which are used by drugsists to be signed by applicants for liquor, where liquor permits are held, shall be se- cured from the county auditor, that these shall be numbered and a record kept of them, so that the county will have a com- plete record of the sales of liquor osten- sibly for medicinal purposes. It is known that the present law has been evaded and disregarded by those drug store men who desire to sell liquors, but under the law it will be risky business to ignore the law. State Wins Big Case. The state of lowa won a tax case in A NOBLE RECORD Of many hundreds of thousands of cures forms a well sustained basis for every claim put forth by the makers of DR. PIERCE'S GOLDEN MED[CA.L DISCOVERY as a remedy for many of the troublesome affections which afflict mankind; yet it is not extolled as a “‘cure-all’’ by any means.

The “Discovery’’ contains no alcohol and no habit-forming drugs, and has its every ingredient printed on its wrappers. This OPEN PUBLICITY places it in a class distinct from the ordinary secret nostrums with which it has no re- latienship. Physicians, therefore, do not hesitate to prescribe it in bad cases of indigestion, torpid liver or biliousness and in skin and blood affections. People of intelligence and keen discernment employ it.

The receipts dropped off about 2 per cent from the previous week owing to the rapld advance of spring work on the farms, which s usually a poor time for marketing. The receipts as compared to one year ago in the same week show in case of hogs, cattle and sheep gains of 20 to 30 per cent have been made. The receipts of hogs and cattle for the first three months of the year show a slight decrease. In hogs 81,000 and in cattle 15000. This decrease has during March and April been lessened gradually until the figures are not signi- ficant. The average price of hogs for the week will with the record prices of the last thtee days, be close to $6.90. The top price for hogs pald Thursday was $7.15, Friday it was $7.17%, and Saturday it was $7.20. Bach successive day made a better price than had been recorded at the yards in six years. Prices of cattle have been fair and are about steady with the prices quoted a week ago. Sheep rose to a top of $8.00 at one time during the week which is considered a land mark price. tional Wool Growers’ 1t is c a circular from Chicago, entitled circular also bore the statement, tlon." worthy patron; Mrs. clate matron; Mrs. J.

Five or six alarms were turned in and all were due to fires, which except for prompt action, would have been sorious. The departments were especially alert and the men were expecting the calls on account of the high wind. One of the first was at the Unfon Pacific freight depot, where & quantity of drugs took fire by spontancous combustion. During the after- noon a banana wagon at Twenty-sixth and Q streets took fire and burned. The wagon was run by an Industrious huckster, who in excitedly telling of the burning of his wagon said: “When next week o better was than the week behind this one for better Is, so T hope me nothing, what?" The policeman who heard this speech in- terpreted it to mean: “If next week is as good as the week before last, I won't care much for the loss of the wagon." A fire was discovered In a barn at Four- teenth and Jefferson streets at 6 p. m. The barn was ruined, but it was a small affair and the damage was light. A fire broke out in E¥ndicate park during the afternoon and caused a run In that direction. The fire whistie of the Omaha Packing plant sounded the alarm at 10:15 p. m., but it was simply a test of the fire company of the plant, there was no fire. Magic City Gossip.
