The state of Kentucky has undertaken to tax the Southern Pacific Railroad Com pany on the basis of several million dollars for Its ocean-going ateamers, on the ground that the corporation Is legally situated in Kentucky and there fore subject to taxation. The 6outhern Pacific waa Incorporated in Kentucky. The Supreme Court docket is decided ly crowded, there being nearly S00 cases entered, the largest number on docket at the opening oC any term'ln the last ten years. Probably 300 new cases will be docketed In the course of tha term. If the court works no faster than It did last ..term. It will not dispose of half the cases pending, for at Its last term It decided or otherwise disposed of but 454 cases. It would therefore appear that the court Is about two years be hind In its work, and will continue to fall behind unless It can put on greater speed than it has heretofore shown. The probabilities are that tha court, to save time, will cut down the allow ance for argument, necessitating coun sel to be brief and to the point. The tendency of Congress to legislate on a wholesale scale haa not helped the Su preme Court, but rather has greatly in creased Its labors.

PRETTY GIRLS HEIRESSES Reclame Suddenly Expires as Xieoes Visit Him After Estrangement. Body Rescued From Flames and $20,000 Is Reward. NEW TORK. Sept. 24. (Special.) The sudden death of a hermit, for years embittered againat hla kin; a freakish fire which nearly cremated his body and almost caused tha death of his two pretty nieces who -were visiting him, and the finding of a fortune in cash. Jewels, stocks and bonds in the barn of the recluse's lonely farm near Stony Point, on the Hudson, are the striking features of a strange story of real life which has Just coma to light through an application for administration of tha estate of Cartson Stemmerman. The letters of administration are sought by the dead man's brother, Nicholas Stem merman, of the Bronx, a business man of property, whose daughters. Georglne and Sophie, figure In the story and may come in for a goodly share of their uncle's estate. Carston Stemmerman was born (U years ago In Germany. He came to America in 1863 and settled in New York. He speculated In real estate with a good deal of luck, and 13 years ago he gave up hla business and retired with hla wife to the Stony Point farm. Mas Become Recluse. Mrs. Stemmerman died seven years ago. After that the widower lived more to himself than ever, coming to New Tork only once In a long while to see his counsel and look after his Investments in securities. In 1898 Carston Stemmerman and his brother, Nicholas, fell out, and thereafter, for aeveral years, the Stony Point recluse wrote to no one except his other brother, Louis, who. It is said, now lives in Chamberlain, S. D. Two-years ago the slater of Carston's wife, who had kept house for him since his wife died, became insane and was put In the State Asylum at Mlddletown. N. T. It waa then reported In Stony Point that Stemmerman and hla house keeper, known to her neighbors only as Lena, had had a violent quarrel In regard to property and Jewels, and that the recluse had put his gems, cash and securities In some safe place where they would never be found by Lena if she survived him. The recluse died suddenly on June 11 last. Two weeks before that he made up with his brother Nicholas and had come to New Tork to visit the latter, who was 11 L Hermit -Suddenly Dies. On the morning of June 11, the re cluse's two nieces In the r Bronx, Georglne and "Sophie, went to Stony Point. While they were talking with him that afternoon on the piazza, Stemmerman fell off his chair and died almost Instantly. That Right about 10:20 o'clock the two nieces, who were alone In the old house with the body of their uncle, were awakened by the smell of smoke. A violent storm was raging. The place had been set on fire by a stroke of lightning. The young women carried the body of their uncle from a bed room downstairs. For many weeks after the funeral of the recluse, 'an unavailing search was made for his hidden fortune. Finally one day when everybody had given up hope of ever discovering the missing fortune, Frederick Rose, neighbor, made the lucky find. He had gone into the much-searched barn to stable a cow. He was poking Into a dark corner of the loft, far down under the rafters, when the prongs of his pitchfork struck against something hard. He poked again. This time the hard object gave forth a metallic sound. Rose crept into the corner on his bands and knees, and succeeded in dragging forth an Iron box. He at first thought it was a lunch box, but when he got it downstairs it took him only a moment te realize he had "struck it rich." When he had pried open the lid, there, before his eyes, lay revealed the long-hidden for tuneenvelopes (ull of securities, sev eral bank books, a number of life in surance policies, some silver spoons and a glittering pile of gems with a picture of the recluse's mother. Rose delivered all of the valuables In the box. estimated at more than 120,000. to representatives of the Stemmerman estate. The court -has now granted to Nicholas, the brother, the letters of administration. How Nature Makes ' New Complexion (From The Family Physician.) It is well known that the. human skin Is constantly undergoing a tear ing down and building up process.. With advancing years or waning vitality this tissue-change lags: the lifeless, soiled surface skin stays on so long that its owner geta . "poor complexion." Common seme tells us this dead skin cannot be enlivened or beautified by any cosmetic, lotion or powder. The natural thing to do is to remove the offensive skin remove the bad com plexion. It has been found that ordi nary mereolized wax completely ab sorbs the " devitalized skin. In minute particles, so gently, gradually, as to cause no inconvenience. Mereolized wax, which any druggist can supply. Is put on at night like cold cream, only not rubbed in, and washed off In the morning. If you would have a brll llantly beautiful complexion. Just use mis simple treatment. aiv. dldate any person who Is qualified for tne office Law Infringes OB Rlgkt. Justice Gavegan saya that the Levy law infringes on the right, inasmuch as the right to name carries with it the right to appear in the party column on the ballot. . An early decision from the Appellate Division, where the case Is now pend lng. Is looked for, and a final ruling by the Court of Appeals Is expected within two weeks of election day, which will give plenty of time to print the nec essary ballots. If the Levy law is thrown out. Murphy probably will revise his pres ent plans, which call for an absolutely Tamraanyized ticket. Of the six Justices of the Su preme Court to be elected three are to fill new places created by the present Legislature. The term of Justice Francis M. Scott, Francis Key Pendleton, and Dan Chalan expire. The two latter are appointees of Governor Dlx. following vacancies caused by a death and he resignation of Senator O'Gormsn. Mnrphy, it Is understood, will turn down Justice Scott, who although a Democrat, Is not a Tammany man. Pendleton Is a pretty good citizen and will be renominated. Cohalan, who had announced he meant to get out, chirked up under the influence of the Levy law and only Intimated be might run again. Now he Is on the fence When Surrogate Thomas died In office early this year. Murphy demand ed that Governor Dlx name Robert Luce, a faithful friend. It happened to be one of those few days when Dlx was Independent, and he appointed Robert L. Fowler, a respected lawyer. The vacancy must be filled at the elec tion this Fall, and Murphy, It is said, has promised Luce that he shall be on the ticket. Weeplna by Tammany Explained. Successfully to turn down Scott and Luce and also elect Cohalan might be possible under the Levy law, but it could not be done under the present statute. All of which explains why there Is weeping and gnashing of teeth In the Inner circles of Tammany. There Is opposition to Murphy and opposition to Gaynor and the charter he Is trying to force on New York. The M3otham Republican organization Is now commanded by a diplomatic poli tician, Samuel S. Koenlg, who will bring about a fusion ticket and take advantage of the mistakes of his op ponents. I The popularity of Koenlg was dem- , onstrated last year when he ran for re-election as Secretary of State. Henry L. Stlmson, the head of his ticket, was defeated for Governor by a plurality of 66,401. Koenig was kept out of of fice by the narrow margin of 1873. , Koenig is quietly stirring up the Hearst people, the leaders of the LiPnm Vblfe Gb. 1 rerchandiise. of teril Only..

It really looks like a pretty good year for a fusion ticket. Still It is rather rough on Murphy, and what must he think of the nerve of judges who upset laws drafted by the gracious command of the Boss of Tammany Hall, who is also the owner of the state organization? LEADER'S FEAR IS AROUSED (Continued From First Paae. ' nates against the voters of straight tickets. A. Republican or a Democrat can vote a straight ticket with one cross mark. A member of another party that has Indorsed some outsider Is compelled to make two cross marks at least, and also study for some time before he knows whether he Is correct or not. And the State constitution guarantees that votlns; must be as easy for one claaa of cltiaena as it is for another. For publication, the Tammany men express confidence that the decision of Justice Gavegan will be reversed. They Insinuate that he may be prejudiced, aa he was elected two years ago on the tuslon ticket, named by the Committee of One Hundred. Indorsed by the O. O. P., and later accepted by Hearer. Tet they overlook or Ignore the fact that In National matters Gavegan is a Democrat and long active In labor circles. Lawyers who have ' read his extremely clear decision declare that It sounds to them like mighty good law and tbey do not believe It will be upset. Tba final ruling, of course, will come from the Court of Appeals, and It Is pointed ont that a precedent already exists which covers the present case. Over in Brooklyn ' last year Supreme Court Justice Garret J. Garretson waa renominated by the Re publicans. The Judicial convention of the Prohibition party met. but did not nominate, authorizing a committee to fill the vacancy. Later this committee named Justice Garretson, and the Democratlo candidate took the case to court, pointing out that the election law forbids a committee of a party from naming as Its own candidate a candidate already in nomination by another party. The unanimous de cision of the Court of Appeals was written by Chief "Justice Cullen. a Democrat living In Brooklyn, who said: "If the Legislature does grant to a convention. committee or body the rlgbt to make nominations, it cannot limit the right of such convention, com mittee or body to nominate as its can- Tlie Land ir? s- in ersLii CALIFORNIA is a land of fertile boils.

Butte County climate is particularly adapted to the production of prunes, almonds, peaches, pears. The Bidwell ranch, in Butte County, has been producing these fruits -for more than a generation. For more than a half century the Bidwell ranch has been famous for its fruits. The Bidwell ranch, 2500 acres is now being sold in little farms at prices to attract the enterprising settler who knows good land when he sees it.

There is an abundance of water underlying it. "Wells can be sunk at very little expense, and the orchards there are full bearing fruit trees, peaches, plums, prunes, apricots, almonds, olives, nectarines. There are also berries of all kinds. This soil and climate produce luscious fruits of-all varieties in the greatest abundance. The Bidwell ranch offers the advantages of deep soil (18 feet) of proved fertility. There are two railway trains every two hours. The land immediately joins the City of Chico, a progressive, prosperous town of 13,000 peo ple, 186 miles from San Fran cisco, 96 miles from Sacramento.
