Every dollar of the state tax levy of 1903 has been paid into the state treasury and the new year wi 1 be commenced w ith every county square with the state in this regard. The total amount of the state tax is $7(10,000, of which sum $25,000 was ap portioned separately as an Agricultural Colhge fund. The state tax is payable in two installments, the first due June 1 and the last November 1. Thirty days additional time may be taken without incurring an interest pen lty. In pay ing the tax of VM only one or two counties were delinquent, and these for a few days only, so that the interest chargps were small. Under the present tax collection system ths counties have been able to co'lect faxes promptly and have had funds w ith w hich to pay the Mate taxes 'when due- The Freeing of the West. The fear of a few months ago that the country was in for a severe curtailment of business and for hard times is rapidly passing. Promotion has indeed been largoly checked. The New York Jour nal of Commerce prints some significant figures as to the aggregate capitalization of new corporations with $1,000,000 cap ital or more during November. Accord ing to its tables the total is the smallest for any month since the beginning of 1899, being only $50,100,000, as compared with $115,140,000 in November, 1902. The total for the first 11 months of this year is $1,572,201,000, as compared with over $2,500,000,000 in the same period last year, $3,500,000,000 in 1901, and $2,250,000,000 in 1900. Some overcapitalized combines have been brought nearer to a solid basis by the severe process of scaling down their market quotations, while other concerrs could not stand this treatment and have gone to the wall. The old, well-estab lished concerns have suffered little, if anothing railroads particularly having had a successful year. gfiTrade has reyived and promises to be brisk, although the prices will be lower, except as regards cotton goods. Ex ports continue plentiful, both of manu factured and farm products. Eyen Wall street, which was on the verge of a fainting fit a month ago, seems now to be able to sit up and take notice. The patient was surprised that the whole neighborhood was not in hysterics over its malady, and, being let alone, it soon recovered. Wall street is a chronic hypochondriac half the time and a reck less rounder the other half. What it needs when its alternate fits of exhilara tion and melancholy seize it is to be unnoticed. If Wall street had led the country this time, as it has in the past, it might be in he throes of a panic now. Put it has now got too trg for its self-app tinted nurse. It knew that thee was nothing the matter with it, And wifely refused to take patent nostrums and get sick be cause the nurse was ailing. Chicago is an excellent barometer for the condition of the Mississippi valley, and Chicago is flourishing. The country around it is prosperous. mere have heen fine crops. Ihe lactones have been running steadily. There has been little stock watering. The west has been sober, judicious and conservative. What it got it earned. It has had no dissipated night before and need fear no headachy morning after. If some future historian shall write a listory not merely of American politics and politicians but ot the American people, he will describe as an epoch the years from 1890 to 1903. For they are the years of a peaceful revolution the years when the debtor West paid off its debt to the creditor East. Until this present epoch the East has been the West's absentee landlord. The West could only make so much profit out of its fields and mines as was left after paying its landlord the interest on mortgages and the dividends on pre ferred stock. But in the late unpreced eotedly prosperous period the We6t has final 'y been able to earn itself out of debt. It will use its money hereafter to educate its own children, beautify its homes, gardens and cities. It will no longer work for another but for itself. Pain in Stomach It ha3 been said that a healthy per son doesn't know he has a stomach. How unhealthy the dyspeptic must bel He feels as if he were all stomach, and one thing that makes him feci so is that pain at the pit of the stomach sometimes an "all-gone foeling"; sometimes a "burning sensation." "I suffered from paina in my stomach and could not eat. An old gentleman told me to take Hood's Sarsaparilla, which I did, and after the use of four buttles I pained my appetite, and I was soon com pletely cured, so that now I feel like a new man. On no account would I be without Hood's Sarsaparilla in my house." Henry Callan, 71 Commercial at., Portland, Me. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills Cure dyspepsia, invigorate and tone the whole digestive system. MKET IN CHICAGO. Place of Next National Ite publican Convention. Washington, Dec. 12. ChicBgo won in the fight for the next national repub lican convention, and the committee agreed to hold the convention in that city on June 21. The bitterest fight in committee was waged between Chicago and St. Louis. Pittsburg entered the field, but didn't seem to have much support. The delegates favoring St. Louis an nounced this morning that that city would donate $40,000 for entertainment purposes. A lengthy speech was made in favor of St. Louis and the World's fair. Chicago had offered $00,000 fo entertainment purposes, but Pittsburg entered the field with an offer of $100,- 000. This put St. Louis out of the race practically, and left the tight between Chicago and Pittsburg. Mr. Stewart from Chicago announced that the amount would be increased from f - 000 to $74,000, providing the convention would be scheduled fur (bat place. Pittsburg field fb m and St. Louis threw her support to Chicago aid that place was chosen. The committee on arrangements was then selec'ed as follows: Senator N. P. Scott, of West Virginia, chairman; Senator Ilanna, of Ohio, Postmaster General Payne, Hany S. New, Indiar- apolis; R. 13. Schneider, Nebraska. lioth the federal and republican par ties in Porto Rica demanded recognition on the committee, but the matter was taken under discussion in executive ses sion and the final disposition of this phase of the question was not announced. Another Drive Sunday. Another big rabbit drive will take place at Echo next Sunday, under the direction of Charles Bartholomew, at whose home the drive will organize. The pests were never so numerous in the vicinity of Echo, as they are this winter, and unless some effort is made to reduce Ihe number some of the crops on the outer edges of the settlement will be destroyed.

Mississippi negroes are trying to establish the order of Elks, and there is a tremendous row od, the white members of the order trying to prevent them getting a charter. Alexander Dowie's attorneys de clare that his assets are 81,000,000 in round numbers, and his liabili "ties 8-100,000. It is probable that the receivership will be withdrawn.
