vember 1. Tamhtlt countv has refused
to pay a part of the state tax appor
tioned to it and a suit is pending in the
supreme rourt to determine the matter.-
,
- J JLa ZnlMrttanos Tax.
The state treasurer recommends a re
vision , of the present inheritance tax
o that a' tax shall be imposed on be
quests in excess of 82,000. As the law
now stands no estate valued at leas
than $10,000 Is subject to tax. Be
quests and devises exceeding $600,. to
persons not related to the donor, the
state treasurer thinks should also be
subject to tax. The receipts from the
inheritance tax for the past two years
were 844,669.81 and the treasurer be
lieves tbe sum could be materially in
creased If a tax could be imposed on
smaller estates according to the plan
outlined. "
"There are at this time." accordins
to we report, "tniny-iwo nanus carry'
ing deposits of state funds under a
SrovlBlon of the state law. There Is no
eposit in any bank in excess of the
bonds or ecunues held to secure such
deposit Sines this law has been in ef
fect there has been collected and placed
to the credit of the general fund the sum
of 813,486.36 on account of Interest on
dally- balances.".-
Mr. Steel cqmmends the law which
enables the state treasurer to place de
posits In state banks and requests that
the law be amended o that the common
school, university and agricultural col
lege funds will be subject to its pro
visions. The report mentions the bank
failures of last year but states that the
state not only did not lose a dollar but
is now Kettlnar five per cent Interest

! FOE DIPEOVEMENT
v (Colted krea leased Wire.)
San Francisco, Nov. . 6. Falling to
trace tha movements of Edna Clark,
mo i-year-old art. student who mys
teriously disappeared from her Oakland
home nearly a fortnight ago, the prl
vate detectives employed by the family
nave aoanaonea the searcn.
The trail has been taken up by the
ftollce of this city and new light was
hrown on the mystery by the finding
or a ruuman car ucaet siud in neap
of sweepings from the church of St.
Mary the Virgin, whose pastor. Rev.
Pay son Young, .was known to have been
with Miss Clark shortly before her dis
appearance.. , .,
The uncle of Edna Clark, despairing
of maintaining; secrecy by the finding
of the girl with the aid of private de
tectives, at last .has called upon the po
lice of this cltv and Oakland. Today
descriptions of the girl, with all known
data concerning her actions on the day
of her departure, are on .the way to
every police department in . the United
States. -
The flndinar of the ticket stub, while
not ' conclusive evidence. Is regarded as
extremely important. Hitherto Chief
Blggy has asserted that beyond per-,
lunctory inquiry at tn various nos
pttals the police would not take up tho
case, because there was uo evidence of
crime. Today aeiecuves or xne upper
Office are hard at wora.
The nollce have discarded tne tneory
that Miss Clark was Induced to withdraw
monev from her bank by a stranger wna
subsequently murdered her for the
amount. Thev relv on further devel
opments to show Edna Clark boarded

That th girl left the train after if
ulled out of Oakland, and returned to
;n Frajiclaco. Is the police theory.
based on the fact that the stubs are
usually collected rrom passengers Dy
tha conductor after the train is several
hours out of Oakland. This,' they say.
Indicates that -tbe a-irl returned to tne
church and there threw away the stub.
Whether she then saw Father Young,
th. Tisi1ira will not lav.
Father Touna denies that he has seen
her spn the Friday before her disap
pearance. ...
Discarding also the theory that re
ligious differences between the girl and
hr mother. Vlra Anita Y.. Mack, caused
Miss Clam to leave, tne ponce oeiieve
ah will ha fnnrul either in the bosDltal
of an eastern city or In a local hospital
tinder an assumed name. That She is
Hand thav tn-4Uit believe. i
Last nfarht a strans-er called for Mrs.
Mack over the telephone, and in tbe
absence of the mother, told a member
of the glrVs family that Edna ClarK
would be found today tn i an Oakland
oonvent. inquiry at ail religious places
showed the assertion to be untrue.
The connection of Father Payson
Toung, rector of the high church Epis
copal parish, with the case has caused
a great sensation and has aroused the
keenest, interest,- especially in the par
ish, where he has enemies. The rector
has submitted calmly to sharp cross
examination and has answered all ques
tions. No evidence aganst 'him of any
kind has been found.
W. H. Grlmmell. the agent for the
Pullman company, who Bold the ticket
of whloh the stub was found in the
ohurch.-identlfied a photograph of Mia
Clark and said he was positive he sold
her a ticket about tnat time.

LOGICAL ECZEMA CURE
ENDORSED BY PHYSICIANS
After treating eczema for years as a
practically incurable blood disease, the
medical worm is greatly interested in
the discovery that it is' not a blood dis
ease at all. but, Is due to a parasite in
tne SKin it sear, unis parasite is easily
destroyed by the external application of
a comnound of oil of winterareen. thy
mol, glycerine, etc, which will quickly
kill all eczema germs, while soothing
and rerresmng tne skin. "
R. A. Folkerts of Duluth. Minn., tells
of the success with D. D. D. Prescrip
tion in treating patients:
"Ther was a man here suf ferine from
Eczema for the last fourteen years, and
I applied the D. D. D. treatment- I also
applied it to a man of West Duluth.
Minn., who has been suffering with
Rheumatism for fourteen years, and
Eczema in hU feet, and the second
treatment In bath cases cleared tbe akin
almost absolutely. I hone that everv-
on in the world will be able to learn of
? our, grand remedy. . u ne nrst appnca
ion is only a balm, and its soothins
effect is beyond expression. I shall
never be without It. and " shall use lt
among my patients altogether."
No matter how terribly you" suffer
irom eczema,' salt rneum, ringworm,
etc.;' you will feel Instantly soothed and
the itch allayed at once when a few

the pilots several members of the com-'
mittees withdrew opposition to this
type of'bridae. Before th Dllots aD-
pearea Derore tne committees mere naa

It is believed that $3,000,000' will
cover all the costs including the pur
chase of terminal sites. A suspension
