Iispec- ially is this practicable as far as it applies to the collection of per- sonal property tax. Heretofore it has been the custom not to pay lany attention to this part of their i obligation and considerable taxes have been lost thereby. Again the G, A.

The commander in chief has by this time issued “his general orders and all posts throughout the state are com- mencing to prepare for the i proper observauce of the day.

DUE TO DESPONDENCY. 3uicide of Ex-President Willcox of the Delaware and Hudson. New York, April 29.—The body of David Willcox, former president of the Delaware and Hudson company, who eommitted suicide on board the steam- er Barbarosa in midocean on Wednes- ilay, was landed at Hoboken and given into the care of his cousin, W. G. Will- cox. It was found that Mr. Willcox fhot himself in the mouth, dying in- stantly. Mr. Willcox was in a very nervous condition from ill health when be sailed for Europe a few weeks ago. After reaching Europe he cabled to his cousin that his condition was worse than when he left America. Since then his ralatives in this city have had no word from him. Mr. Willcox boarded the Barbarosa at Gibraltar. Although he shot him- self on Wednesday night it was not until noon of the following day that his death was discovered, when the steward, growing uneasy, forced the door of his statercom and found him lying dead in his berth. His despondency is said to have been partly due to financial losses suf- fered during the slump in the stock market in March. It is reported that while in Eurcpe Mr. Willcox was informed that he would eventually become blind. This, it is said, is one of the causes of the depression which ended in suicide. Mr. Willeox had already lost the sight of one eye and that of the other was failing. RECEIVER ASKED FOR. Cleveland Window Glass Company ir Financial Difficultles. Cleveland, April 29.—An involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed for the Cleveland Window Glass company in the United States district court here. The liabilities are given as $450,000. The petition was filled by an attor ney representing a number of local creditors of the company. According to the petition the claims amount to more than the assets of the company. It is further declared that the com- pany admits its insolvency and con- sents to the bankruptey proceedings. Rumors of trouble for the company have been in circulation for several days. A little more than a week ago the board of directors was reorgan- {zed and an extension was asked of the creditors. TEXAS SCENE OF TRAGEDY Prominent Lawyer Shoots and Kills County Attorney. Austin, Tex., April 29.—H. L. Robb, county attorney of Trinity county, was assassinated and Jim Dunway, one of the best known members of the state rangers’ force, was shot and wounded at Groveton. The first news of the tragedy re- ceived here was a ielegram sent to Governor Campbell by R. O. Finley, a prominent lawyer of Groveton, read- ing as follows: “Dunway came in and I had to shoot him. Send Captain Hughes imme- diately.” A short time after receiving the dis- patch Governor Campbell received the following telegram from Dunway: “Send rangers at once. I was way- laid and shot all to pieces.” DUMA MEMBERS FEEL HURT Received WIth Scant Ceremony by Emperor Nicholas. St. Petersburg, April 29.—The depu- tation of Conservative peasant mem- bers of the lower house of parliament, which went to Tsarskoe-Selo during the day, returned in a disappointed mood at the scant ceremony with ‘which they were received by the em- peror. 'Chey were not accorded a spe- cial audience, but were admitted to the presence with a big delegation of military men and Constitutional Dem- ocrats and were greeted with the us- nal perfunctory expressions of his majesty’s pleasure at meeting his sub- Jects. The emperor did not give tho ‘spokesman of the peasant delegation an opportunity to deliver the loyal speech which he had prepared. MIGRATION FROM CHICAGO Fully Ten Thousand People Take Ad- vantage of Low Rates. Chicago, April 29.—From present in- dications fully 10,000 persons will leave here Tuesday for points on the Pacific coast and the extreme Southwest. On that day will expire the one way col- onist rates which have been in effect daily since March 1. These rates have been about half the regular fares. There will also be in effect Tuesday homeseekers’ rates to a large part of the West, Northwest and Southwest. To obtain enough tourist sleeping cars for the persons taking advantage of the colonist and homeseekers’ low rates is the problem which is worry- ing Western passenger agents. Object to Long Hours. Hamilton, O., April 29.—The night force at the Champion coated paper works, 460 in number, are out on strike. The men ask eight-hour shifts. The plant has been run on two shifts, the day one working eleven hours and the night thirteen hours. Nearly 1,000 men and women are employed at the plant. Fatal Quarrel Over Woman. Gallipolis, O., April 29.—Henry Will- fame and his uncle, Abraham Miles, farmers residing near this city, quar- reled because of the alleged atten- tions of Willlams to Mrs. Miles.

SENTIMENT AGAINST PLAN Republicans Cispleased With Idea of Engaging in Contest Within the Party Untii After the Municipal Elections in November. Toledo, O., April 30.—Chairman Wal- ter Brown of the Republican state cen- tral cummittee has issued the follow- ing statement regarding the Taft-For- aker contest: “No request has been made to me as chairman of the state central com- mittee to call a meeting of that com- mittee for the purpose of considering a state primary election to determine the choice of the Republicans of the state for a presidential candidate. Un- til some such request is made I have nothing to add to what I said when such a state primary was first sug- gested, that in my opinion it would not be feasible to conduct a primary election upon a general election day and that the sentiment of Republicans in Lucas county, as expressed tarough the newspapers and otherwise, is over- whelmingly opposed to engaging in any contests within the party, save such as relate wholly to municipal matters, until after the municipal elec- tions in November.” JUDGMENT IS AFFIRMED. Packers Lose on Appeal in Railroad Rebate Case. St. Paul, April 30.—Judge Sanborn has filed the opinion of the United States circuit court of appeals, which he had written, afirming the juds- ment of the United States district court for the Western district of Mis- souri against the packers for accept- ing concessions of 12 cents per 100 pounds from the portion of the estab- lished rate for the transportation of provisions on through bills of lading from Kansas City to Christiania and other points in foreign countries. Judges Hook and Adams concur in the opinion. The lower court imposed a penalty of $15,000 on each of the indicted firms and these fines have been affirmed. AFTER UNIFORM LAWS.

Varjous attempts have beea made to estimate the light of stars. In the northern hemisphere Argelander has registered 324,000 stars down to the nine and one-half magnitude, with the aid of the best photometric data. Agnes M. Clerk’s “System of the Stars” gives the sum of the light of these northern stars as equivalent to 1.440 of full moonlight, and the total light of all stars similarly enumerated in both bemispheres to the number of about £00,000 is roughly placed at 1.180 of the lunar brightness. The scattered light of still fainter celestial bodies is difficult to evaluate. By a photograph- ic method Sir William Abney in 1896 rated the total starlight of both hem- Ispheres as 1.100 of full moonlight, and Professor Newcomb in 1901 from visual observations of diffused sky radiance fixed the light power of all stars at just 728 times that of Capella, 'or 1.89 of the light of the full moon. ! It is not certain, however, that the sky would be totally dark if all stars were Certain processes make the upper atmosphere strongly lumi- nous at times, and one never can be sure that this light is absent. The Peaang Patrol Wagon. Writing of the local patrol wagon the | Penang correspondent of the Straits Times, Singapore, says: “It forcibly calls to mind at fivst sight a four wheel- ed baker’s cart, bar the fact that it is drawn by about the slowest pair of bullocks in the settlement. There is nothing grim at all about it, for it is commanded by a sleepy Malay con- stable perched on the box; its roof and sides are formed of white canvas, and It has no door to close at the back, but merely an opening in which another Malay constable half slumbers. Two or three other constables ride inside sit- ting on the benches with the prisoners, who seem to be too struck with novelty. of the ride to make any rttempt at es- cape. I should say that an escape from this prison van would be as easy as falling off a log.” When Stevenson Was Poor. Robert Louis Stevenson was in poor circumstances in San Francisco before he made his hit with the world. Dur- ing the time that he used to loaf, pen- niless, upon the lawn where afterward they put up a bronze and marble statue to him, he picked up a few quarters acting as super in the old California theater, in Bush street. Hint Not Taken. “From the grammatical standpoint,” said the fair maid with the lofty fore« head, “which do you consider correct, ‘I had rather go home’ or ‘I would rather go home? " “Neither,” promptly responded the young man. “I'd much rather stay here.” His Little Joke. At the breakfast table Good Friday morning Wilfred was given a hot cross bun. It was very small, raisinless and burnt. “Ma,” said the little fellow, disap- pointedly, “this seems to be a hot cross bunko.”—Woman’s Home Companion The Best of Everything NORTHERN PACIFIC Through Vestibuled Trains, each way between St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, and Supenor and Northern Pacific coast points, carry the latest styles of through Pullman Sta: dard and Tourist Sleeping Cars, Din- ing Cars, and handsome Day Coaches.
