Those who stood about observed the scene and were amazed. an elapse of time the southern senator, who 18 8 very quiet and sober man, became very indignant, and, disengaging the arm of his daughter, faced the other senator and, look- ing him hard i the eye and pushed him back with a good deal of force, saying, “If you haven’t enough res- 1 will take hold of you."” The reprimanded senator, acting upon the suggestion of his lady, turned about and dis- appeared in the opposite direction.

ICWA GAINS A BIG VICTORY. | Trial of the Haddock Murdee Cases Fixed for March—Frightfal Double Tragedy at Cedar Falls— lowa News. The Restraining Order Denfed. Des Moixes, Ta., Jan. 14, —[Special Tele- gram to the Bek.]—Judge DBrewer, of the United Statescireuit court, filed here to-day his decision in the very important case of the | St ! 4 | Northwestern will soon have a line of its Puliman Sleeping Car company inst the State of Towa. Since 1578 the state has assessed railroads crossing the state for the sleeping and drawing room cars they have used, and they have in turn collected the tax from the sleeping ear companfes, Last year the Pullman company refused to pay the tax and sought to prevent the state from collect- ing it from the railroads. An application was argaed at St. Paul before Judge Brewer eral weeks ago for an order restraining county or state officials from collecting this tax, on the ground that as the Pullman company was domiciled in 1ilinos, any at- tempt to tax its property which was engaged In inter-state commerce would be unconsti- tutional. Judge Brewer replies to-day refusing the application for a restraining order, and sustaining the position of the state. In his opinion, which is quite long, after reviewing the case, he say: 1. No tax is assossed against the complain- ant, a non-resident corporation, but only against corporations ereated by’ or doing business and domiciled in the state, The tax is solely a property tax with rate of assessment and levy the same as ob- tains in respect to other personal property, The state aims to tax that property which it protects and only to the extent that it furnishes protection. If it cannot do thi it will be shorn of much of what every candid man must feel to be honest revenue. The judge then calls attention to the fact that sleeping cars are not the only vehicles inusein inter-stata commeree, for a large amount of rolling stock is used on various lines of inter-state roaas which belongs to the car trust companies, simply leased by the railroad companies using it. "It would not be hela that such vruvl*l’l,e' is taxable only in the eastern eities in which the car trust com- panies are domiciled. In answer to the plea of the sleeping car company that its property is used in inter- state coinmerce, and is exempt from state taxation at any other place than the domicile of its owner, Judge Brower says: ‘1 deny the proposition and affirm the law to be that nal property continually used in a state i situs in that state” for purpos taxation, and may at the option of the state be subjected to an equal property tax; and that, notwithstanding it be used éxciusively in inter-state erce. ‘The state is sov: ereign except as limited by the federal consti- tution. A sovereign may tax all property within its jurisdiction unless there be found in the federal constitution some provision taking away this power. The state of lowa may unquestionably tax this property used within its limits,” As to such constitutional restrictions, the court holds: L insist that an equal and uni- form property fax is not a_regulation of con- gress, although it reaches to, and aflects property used in inter-state commerce.” In conelusion Judze Brewer 1. I'hat property is not exempted from liabil- ity to an equal and uniform property tax by 1 that it is used either partially or ex- pr-state commerce, articles for transportation used and continuously upon a single Tun acquire a situs for purposes of taxation independent and irrespective of the domicile ot the owner. 3. Such situs is not destroyed by the fact that the owner, owning many vehicles of like character and having lines in various parts of the United States, transfers from time to Providiig i condtant Wb a oA sus use ot such vehicles is preserved upon the single run, 4. Where such vehicles are used upon a run extending through two states, there is a situs for taxation in each state to a fair Froportion of the value of the nmJ)eni. 5. Where a state tax is assessed and levied against a railway company owning and oper- ating a line of road within a state, based upon the rolling stock used by it in the oper- ation of such road, a third party cannot en- join the state from colleeting or the railway company from paying a portion of such tax on the ground that a part of such rolling stock included in such assessment is the property of such third party and exempt from axation. Lntertaining these views, the restraicing order heretotore granted will be set asid d the application for a temporary injunction denied.

Judge Shiras decides that they cannot collect. He holds that not only is the retail dealer required to have a permit to sell, but what 1 more important, that the wholesale dealer must have one also to sell to the retailer. Without this permit the Illinois tirm canvot make collections for Tignors sold even to parties having sich per- mit, should the latter fall back on the law. The prolbitionlsts look upon this decision as a victory.

The scheme has been kept so quiet, however, that even tho property owners whose lands were in vaded knew little or nothing about the purpose for which the survey was being made. The line as surveyed starts from the Northwestern roand at a point near Arlington, mnorthwest of Omaha, It runs m an almost straight line, approaching the city limits near FortOmaha, Itthen strikes in a north- casterly direction for the Woodman oil it connects with the spur of tracks used by the Union Pacific and other roads jointly. The survey then runs in an elliptical cirenit up the line of the old North Omaha sewer to Cuming street, which thoroughfare it strlkes at Wheaton. It then runs in a southerly direction until it reaches Bail Olsen’s brick yard, almost west of Creighton college. It then runs in a line con- centric with the Belt ralroad, until it reaches South Omaha. The men who are at work upon the survey do not hesitate to say that the line 1s being run by thoe Northwestern road. One citizen who lives near Bai Olsen’s brick yard awoke the other morn- ng to find his front yard full of st N He was very much surprised, and turn- ing to some surveyors who were at work near, he inquired, “What the d—I does this mean? “Oh,” replied one of the men care- lessly, “you'll find a railrond running through your house one of these morn- mgs.” Other property owners along the line of the survey were equally taken by surpri ‘T'his branch will give General Managér Hughitt, of the Northwestern, a direct line from Northwest Nebraska to Omaha and South Omaha--something which it is well known he is desirous of sceuring.

This was too high a figure and another and better survey was taken, from Arlington to Omaha, which will re- quire but little heavy grading. ; TLere are those w‘m believe that this survey in the northerg and southern parts of this city is being dane in_the interests of the Rock Island rond. This corpor: tion has long had an eye upon Omaba as an objective point, and, it is said, pro- poses to throw a liné into the city as soon as the preliminarics can be arranged.

Jilted in His Yonth, He Leaves New York for the Arkansas Forests, I'he death 1s announced to-day of Willlam M. Shelton, at his home on Bayou Bartholomew, in the extreme southern portion of the state, writes the Little_ Rock, Ark.. correspondent of the w York World. Shelton_had an ex traordinary life history. Ho ecame to this state in 1830 from New York, of which state he was a native. His parents » wealthy, and conneeted with many prominent famiies who soventy ago moulded pubiic opinion in the r of New Yor! He attended the University of Virginia at Charlottesyille, graduating from fhat institution with the highest honor: While there he fell vio- lently in love with the daughter of Rev Mr. Lewis, an Episcopal clergyman. The lady was very beautiful, but a coquette She encouraged Shelton only to jilt him. T'he sensitive young student never recov ered from the shoc Wounded to the lrll ek, he left school and vecame a wan- derer on the face of the earth, His na- tare was changed as if by magie, and from agenial youth he was “transformed into a gloomy, taciturn man and a con- firmed woman-hater. He drifted to Arkansas, settling in the vicinity of Pine Bluft, The country was then a wilderness, ‘Taere were few white families within a radins of twenty miles, the Quapaw Indians bemg the principal inhabitants, For some years Shelton lived re in utter sohitude. With the advent of civilization he moved further south, locating near the cdge of a dense forest on the banks of Bayou Bartholo- mew, nearly thirty miles from any hu- man being. ~ He erected a rude but com, fortable log house, felling the timber and 15 the nceessary work himself rest home being comvleted he s { down to a life of solitude. With his nd gun he hunted i forest and shooting deer, bear and wild , which game he carried on_horse- back “to Pine Blull tifty-four miles dis- tunt, the proceeds of the sale of 1t sup- slying him with the necessities of life. In his hunting excursions he had many nar- row escapes. In the fall of 1882, 'while hunting, the dogs found a bear in the canebrake. * The animal had cut down the canc in quantities. and had built a huge nest, taking refuge in the center. It was started out with difficulty, and showed fight. Shelton shot it once, but before he could reload it was upon him, bearing him to the earth. A desperate struggle followed, The dogs came to the hunter's assistance, and with the! d i the bear killed. Shelton, however, carried to his grave s received 1 the fight. onally a belated trayeler found ahaven in Shelton’s cabin, though he resolutely shunned commumieation with mankmd. The house was furnished in the rudest manner. There was a big old-fashioned fireplace, and the puncheon floor was covered here and there with bear skins. But what attracted the at- bookease containing wor authors of the past and present centuries. There were volumes of ancient poetry, and volumes in Greek, Latin, German and French. It was evi t that the forest hermit was intelligent; in short, erudite in the strictest meaning of the word. It was rumored that Shelton had a1 sum of money hidden in his eabin, the amount being placed at §1,000 in gold. At mid- ht on August 30 last three men en- tered the house, bound and gagged Shel- ton and searched the premises thor- oughly, finding some $10 in silver. ‘They released Shelton and - disappeared, fied that the hermit had no hidd treasure.
