If the tax has been declared unconstitutional how is it that many localities yet impose it. Please state where I ean find the decision de- claring the tax illegal A DRUMMER. The supreme court of the United States in the case of Robbins vs the taxing district of Shelby county, Tenn.. decided that the drum- mer tax was unconstitutional, as the license imposed was a tax upon inter-state commerce anda violation of the commerce clause of the federal conatitution, See 120 U. S8, 480 A similar case was decidéd in Nevada recently. A commercial traveler from California was arrested in Nevada for soliciting purchases without having first obtained a license as re- quired by the statute, which statute, also, obliged all resident merchants to take outli- censes, He did not_appeal to the supreme court of the state after having been de- feated on his appeal to the dis- trict court from the conviction by the justice of the peace: he was charged with committing a misde nor, but ap- plied to the supreme court of ada upon a writ of habeas corpus to be discharged from fmprisonment on the ground that, us the st ute was unconstitutional, the district court hiad no jurisdiction to determine the validity of the statiite. In this ca X parte Roscii- blatt -the court supported this contention and discharged the prisoner from custod. The judge who granted the writ of habens corpus, in_ rendering his opinion, said: We must accept this decision of the United States supreme court in the ‘Tennessce case as es. blishing the unconstitutionality of the stat- ute under which the petitioner was convicted. The statute of Tenuessce and that of this state (Nevada) do not materiallv diffe neither imposes a tax upon_citizens of othery] states which does not equally apply to its own! citizens, nor is there any discrimination in either statute against other states ot their products. It is urged here, howcever, that the district court had jurisdiction to deter- mine the ¢ stitutionality of the statute, and and thut its judgment cannot be reviowed upon a_writ of habeas corpus. But the dis- trict court did not have jurisdiction, because the state could not lawfully impose the license tax. ‘There was, in' legal contem- plation, no law creating the offense of which the petitioner was convicted. An un- constitutional law, says the supreme court of the United States in ex parte Sicbold (100 U, S., 377), is void, and is no law. An offense created by it is no crime. A convietion un- der it is ot merely erroneous, but is illegal and void, and ean not be a legal cause for im- prisonment. It is true, if no writ of error lies, the judgment may b final itk that there may be no ineans of reversing i but personal liberty is of so great moment the eye of the law that the judgment of an in- ferior court nffecting it is not deemed 80 ¢ clusive but that the question of the cow authority to try and imprison the party m be reviewed on habeas corpus by a superior court or fudge having authority to award the et Just why certain authorities insist on en- forcing o law which has so plainly been branded as unconstitutional is something they alono can explain. It is probable that those who insist upon its cnforcoment. hope to make litigation so expensive that it will be far cheaper to pay the tax than stand the ex- penses of lengthy litigation. A Thrilling Experience. “Do you see that young man standing at the ticket window ! remarked a commercial traveller to a Bee reporter at tho Union Pa- cific depot Thursday evening. “That is Charley Dow, a drummer for a Philadelphia dry goods house, He had the most thrilling experience about four years agothat ever felt to the lot of mankind. Why, that fellow nar- rowly escaped being buried alive. Come over and he will tell you about ir.” The v porter and his companion crossed the waiting room and the later approaching the ticket purchaser exclaimed: *“*Charley, old boy, s it down and tell the B about that littie epi- sode of yours.” “\What do mean®" asked Charley, “about that Lincoln girl of mine?"’ “No,” said the other in a tone of diszust. I mean the time youn came so near being planted.” “Oh, yes," said_the Quaker City man. *“Well, as we have about ten or fifteen minutes before the frain leaves I guess I will have time. I was in Denver when the event began to take place. You see it was of fc or fivo days duration.

One of them a young woman, I should judge by her voice, id to her companion *poor fellow, I wonder he was married and whoether he was pret- ty,” and other remarks like that. Then they loaded me in an express car and off I whirled toward home. During the four days time that I was on the road I retained conscious- ness although I was in what physicians would term @ comatose condition. That is, I suppose I was. I was handled prétty roughly several times by the baggage men when I had to be transferred but soon became used to it. During my ride 1 wondered what the folks would say and where they would bury me and whether I would die after I was planted and what the sensations would be.

The Boston Globe gives the ollowing particulars: He was a_good looking. stylish man of dignified ap- pearance, fooking for all the world in his ordinary clothes, with his English side whiskers, like what he pretended to be, a wealthy New York banker. The cell in which he was confined was one of the strongest and most cen- tral in the prison, was built of rock, and two locks of the latest improved pottern weve on the celldoor. The key, when he was in his coll, never passed out of the hands of Warden Mayo or Deputy Warden Davis. 1f any attempt was made by him to escape it was ex- pected to be in the cell, but for over nine months he made no move or sign but that he expected to serve his sen- tence. But the easy going. apparently contented man was all this time making his preparations toleave, and on Decem= ber 3, 1866, he did, and New Hampshire has missed him ever since, The state prison in those days wa rounded by & big heavy stone wall, an enormous plank gate. Over the gate, in the daytime, the guard stood, gun in hand. Shinburn, who a week or so be- fore this time had purposely cut his finger badly, had been allowed the lib- erties of the yard, as was the custom in those days. Confederates on the out- gide had bored nearly through the three-ineh plank, with” holes running into each other for a space eighteen inches wide and twenty-two inches long. The holes made had been filled up with plaster of paris. The heav thick plank hung by mevely the thin leaf on the inside. At the close of the afternoon’s worlk the men had to take their night buckets from in front of their cell door, and in single file. in lock-step with the left handon the cony shoulder preced- ing, they had come out, had emptied their buckets at the further end, and were returning.

With this there are often streaks of blood mixed with the mucus, In some cases the patient becomes very pale, has fever, and expectorates before any cotigh tppear In some cases small masses of chéesy sub- stance are spit up, which,when pressed between the fingers, omit o bad odor, 1 other cases par- ticles ot a hard, chalky nature are spit up.
