Plumbing Co., ceiephons 250, STATE 'CAN JT COLLECT TAX Judge Wheeler Rules on Inheritance ison Judge Wheeler of the district court handed down his decision yesterday in the cake In which the state treasurer sought to subject the Addison Cochran estate to the payment of the collateral inheritance tax. His ruling was adverse to the etate. The questions involved In the action had not before arisen in this county and this made the case one of more than ordinary interest. Addison Cochran died in April, 1896, leaving an estate which the admin- istrator, under the terms of the will, was required to convert into cash and as soon as poseible distribute among the heirs. The collateral inheritance tax law wa passed about a week before Mr. Cochran’ death, but did not go into effect until July 4 of the same year. Judge Wheeler held that while the helrs dld not obtain title to the estate they acquired an undivided right to an interest in it immediately on the death of the testator, which could uot be affected by subsequent legislation. Had the law gone Into effect at the time of its passage then the estate would have been subject to the tax. Nearly $10,000 was in- volved in the sult, which it Is expected will be appealed to the preme court. At- torney General Mullan appeared for the state. The motion of the defendant for a new trial and a modification of the decree in the divorce suit of Mary M¢Glnnes against James B. McGinnes was, overruled. The motion of the defendant for a new trial in the suit of A. Goldsteln against the St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance company was argued and taken under ad- visement by Judge Wheeler.

DES MOINES, Aug. 30.—(Special.)—Gov- ernor Cummins will be ready in a few days to announce the result of his investi- gation into the reorganization of the Rock Island railroad under the ownership of the Moores. At the time the new company was formed, with a capital of $125,000,000, under the lowa laws, and at the same timo a New Jersey corporation formed to own the stocks of the Towa corporation and a scheme devised by which only a small part of the stock would have any volce in the control of the property, the gov- ernor announced that he would cause to be made a thorough investigation of the case to ses If the reorganization scheme was in accordance with ~Iowa law and to determine whether It was contrary to public policy. He has had some difficulty in securing all the facts surrounding the reorganization, but announced today that d that some time next week he will be able to make public the result of is investigation and state what action he can or may take. The attorneys of the Rock Island have in- sisted all along that the reorganization is entirely legal and unassailable, and that the governor will be unable to do anything even if he’should conclude that it is a commercial organization in which the pub- lic is interested.. The announcement of the governor will be awaited with interest. Prison Pop lon Declining. The. report of Warden Hunter for the year on the prison at Anamosa shows that there has been a steady decline of prison population for five years, from 626 June 30, 1898, to 412 the 30th of last June. There were 208 received during the year, four being under sentence of death and three to serve life sentences. There are now thirty-elght lifers at the Anamosa prison. There are twenty women at the prison. Of those received during the year there were six negro men and five negro women. Two were divorced, fifteen widowed, sixty- eight marrfed and 115 single. Twenty- three wers illiterate. The oldest person recelved at the penitentiary during the year was 65 and the youngest 16. There ‘were no ‘apss and no attempt to escape and forty-one were let out on paroles. The piieon received two who are totally blind. The value of the labor done by prisoners, aside from the work necessary for the management of the prison itself, was $72,521.20. The new administration build- ing 1s now practically complete. The state has land and buildings at Anamosa valued at $1,886,057.35. A new stome building is being erected within the prison inclosure for the cooperage works, destroyed by fire last March.

State Fair n. The exact sum realized by the State falr management on the week's work was not far from $53,000, but all returns will not be in for some days. The balance to the good of the falr management will be expended largely in permanent improvement during the next year, and plans are already being made for this, The abstract in the case of the state against A. M. Hunter, from Ringgold county on appeal, was filed with the supreme court tcday. Hunter was convicted last Novem- ber of the murder of Homer Holland at Mount Ayr and given a life sentence in the penitentiary.

W. Liggett with intent to kill, was held to the grand jury and remanded to jail 1in lleu of $1,000 bail today. He is the colored ccachman of the Bearles family who live in the aristocratic section, who got into a quar- Tel with Liggett when the latter called to see Miss Searles, and in the quarrel shot Liggett. The latter fully recovered, but had a narrow escape. Marcus declined to give any evidence In the case at this time. ‘There have been rumors that the case would finally be compromised, as it threatens a scandal in high life, but the prosecution has not shown any disposition to let up in the case. Cumm Governor Cummins will soon enter the po- litical campaign. He will make several speeches in Iowa under the auspices of the republican ptate committee, and he will also speak in Indiana, Illinols and Minnesota. His vices are desired in other states, but it is doubtful if he will be able to go el where. He has a date for a speech before the Marquette club in Chicago, October 9, and one before the Good Government club of the University of Michigan. The governor will also speak at several non-political meetiogs In Iowa, at an old settlers’ re- union at Creston, September 10, at the State fair of Illinols October 2 and at least two addresses during the Odd Fellows’ meeting in Des Moines.

TWELVE MILLIONS INCREASE National Banks Inform Shaw They Wish to Prepare for that En- largement of Clreul WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—The receipts of the Treasury department for the month of August, just closing, exceed the expendi- tures by $5965,812, an unexpectedly large surplus. The total receipts were $48,605,812 and the expenditures $42,620,000. For the same month of last year the total re- ceipts were $45,305,125 and the expendi- tures $39,351,497, urplus of a little over $6,000,000 The big surplus this month has been at- tained in the face of the heavy cut made by congress in the way of wiping off of the books the taxes imposed on account of the war with Spain. This act of congress de- creased the receipts by something like $6,- 500,000 & month. In July the receipts from internal revenue fell off more than that figure. This month the reduction is not 80 large. The receipts from the different sources have been follow: Customs Internal revenue . Miscellaneous .. For August of last year the customs Tecelpts were $21,462,171, and Internal rev-| enue $22,036,784. The increase (n customs receipts gver the same month of the corresponding year is over $5,000,000, showing that the country is buying more heavily abroad each month. The falling off from internal revenue is less than $5,000,000. The expenditures are something over $2,000,000 greater than for the same month last year. In accordance with the suggestion of Secretary Shaw, national banks in the large cities are preparing to increase their oir- culation by the deposit of bonds. Since a few weeks ago, when Secretary Shaw asked the ban to prepare to meet any emergency by increasing their circulation the banke have notified. the controller's office that they want to stand ready for an increase of $12,250,000. A large portion of this currency is now being printed at the bureau of engraving and printing and will be ready for the banks so soon the deposit of funds is made. The increased circulation will not be taken out at all unless the banks are satisfied the money will be needed in trade channels to relieve the situation in New York or elsewhere. The $12,250,000 does not include the cir- culation being taken out by the new banks and by regular banks in different parts of the country that have not been com- municated with. FENCED RANGE PROFITABLE Much Vantage Gained by Enclosed Grazing Lands Nece: by . PIERRE, 8. D, Aug. 30.—(Special.)— Stockmen. on the Sloux range, who are deploring the fact that homesteaders are taking up the government lands and re- stricting the free range, will find that the fact that they must keep closer watch of their cattle may not be altogether against their Interests, If the reports from Colorado ranges are an indication of the results of such conditions. A recent lssue of a Colorado stock paper speaks of the conditions in that state, which compel cattlemen to fence their ranges, and gives comparative figures of loesgs and difference in quality of cattle which have been held on fenced ranges and those allowed to run free. The difference in loss of cattle through the year alone shows a large credit to the benefit of the man with the fenced range, while there Is further profit in the fact that the owner of the fenced range can control the manner in which his pastures are fed down, and hold any portion he de- sires for winter range, or hold it over for the mext espring. He also has absolute control of his breeding stock, and in this way also galns. The Lumley Cattle company, which op- erate ranches just east of this city, on Spring creek, at the lower end of the old Fort Sully reservation, and at Little Bend, in Sully county, will try the experiment of communication between the different ranches with carrier pigeons. A number of these birds are being bred at the home ranch, and experimente will soon be made in sending messages between the ranches with them.

LONDON, Aug. 30.—Ome of the latest wireless telegraph schemes is the proposed installation of a combined lightship and ocean telegraph station 100 miles west of the Lizard, It 1s suggested that a vessel provided with & powerful searchlight projected against the clouds mark the position of the station at night. The wireless plant is to be powerful enough to command the fair way of the channel and exchange news and orders with passing vessels, . Should the experiment succeed it is pro- posed to establish a number of such ships along the coast. It is thought that they will be particularly valuable In the trans- mission of meteorological reports and storm warnings. IS INTERESTED IN BARTHOLIN Dan 1 st cago Negotia: for His Government in Murdér MILWAUKEE, A 30. — Concerning William Peter Bartholin, father of Wil- Mam Bartholin, who is wanted in connec- tion with the murder of his mother, fur- ther detalls have been secured from the Soldiers’ home here, where he died. Bartholin came from Chicago In 1896 and ated that his wife, Annle, lived at 4310 Calumet avenue, that they had no chil- dren-under 16 years of age. He was reg- istered as having been born In Denmark, where he was a laborer. The Danish con- sul at Chicago in 1897 made inquiry of Bartholin's death, stating that his govern- ment wanted it STRENGTHEN THEIR FORCES Army of Defence and Attacking Squadren Use Last Moments. MACARTHUR AGAIN VISITS ALL THE FORTS Makes a Tour on War Yacht, with Large Stafl—General Grady Gives al Corps Some A tional Orders. NEWPORT, R. I, Aug. 3.—The army of defense and the attacking squadron under Admiral Higginson have spent the first twenty-four hours of the period of prepa- ration in strengthening their forces. The Massachusetts heavy artillery came from Boston today, part going to Fort Rodm: at New Bedford, and six batteries com! here as additional reinforcements to I‘ortl Adams and Greble. The army also re- ceived an addition in the Rhode Island signal corps of twenty men. The Massa- chusetts naval brigade was sent on board the warships by means of two naval tugs. This evening General MacArthur again visited the forts in the vicinity, this time on the war yacht Kanawha, accompanied by a large staff made up of officers, not only of this division, but from the War de- partment. i The gunboat Gloucester, which came in during the forenoon, left for the fleet at 3 o'clock with the mail. It may return tomorrow, as Admiral Higginson has until midnight on Sunday to disappear from the coast, war being technically declared at that time.

INSPIRE FOREIGN EDITORS Roosevelt's Remarks on Monroe Doe- trine Starts All Their Pencils Going. LONDON, Aug. 30—"A hated rivalry which may some day be settled by the ar- bitrament, of the sword,” seems to fairly sum up the Saturday Review's opinion of the relations between Great Britain and the United States. Discussing President Roosevelt's pro- nouncement on Monrbeism,, the always bit- terly anti-American Saturday Review uses the president’s speech as a text on which to enunciate a long sermon on ‘‘American greed and hypocric: and the danger threatening the British empire from the United States' future expansion. It says, in reviewing the history of the Monroe doctrine: It {s unfortun; If not exceptional, that the United Stat not be satisfied wit! the plain, nr-l‘mtorwnd pollcv of -elt- interest, without attempting to explain as a disinterested and highly moral pol tion. It was on this basis that the 'Ir with _Spain was undertaken, relllllh? the. Phillppines being annexed and Guba bel heel. South America’s natural e naturally enormous, but the Individual states cannot act to- gether, It is plain that they will not lon resist ‘American extension southward an American_protection from 'Buropean af- gression will soon incubate in occupation by the United States. Proceeding to discuss the eftect of Monroe- ism on the British empire, the Saturday Review says: The United States is the only great power separated from the British empire by noth- ing but a land frontier and it is the settled object of the United States ultimately to includs Canada. The United States is com- merv.'llll'fm'lng fast at our expense unrl judging ‘Pruem progre t power ‘of the United States in weaith and numbers will soon exceed that of any rival we have, ibly excepting Russia, whose position in- relation to us territorially is not nearly so critical. Under these cir- cumstances It is perfectly clear that the power we need be most concerned about is America. Commercial rivairy ultimately results in a trial by force; it Is the only settiement. The policy of either country must avold anything which will increase the other's power. On that principle the United States has steadily acted in gopos- ing us_diplomatically, never conceding & point. We, on the other hand. have usual! ®gone out of our 'l)’ lo hnlv the Units States. In the matter of the isthmian canal we lost ground and Ameri n.d. onl{ lllnclnl advantage wol actlve friendship on the part nl America that we might count on her meeting us half way.

W—Pr-‘dllt Roosevelt's fresh declaration of the Monroe doctrine has been received here with an air of wol der. The tone generally assumed is one of surprise that the doctrine should be re- affirmed so energeticdlly at a moment when no European power disputes it, least of all Germany. Moreover, it is asserted, that Germany gave its assent to the doctrine soon after Presideut Roosevelt's assump- tion of the presidency and that the State department has abundant knowledge that Germany does not even contemplate se- curing coaling stations in the western hemi- sphere. Some suspiclous critics suggested that something must be going on behind the diplomatic screen to occasion the presi- a enunciation. ‘The foreign office tells the correspondent of the Assoclated Press that offielal circles by mo mesans share the newspaper excite- ment. . It reads the speech in connection with the definition of the dsetrine con- talned in the president's lasi message to to 1 000. congress which thoroughly satisfies Ger- many. The disposition in some quarters to regard President Roosevell's speech as directed against Germany is wholly in- admissible, because Germany, the Amer- fcan government knows never designed ter- ritorial acquisition on the American con- tinent, Several of the newspapers here crowded their reference to king of Italy from the chief editorial position In order te com- ment on President Roosevelt's speech. NO SECOND CARDINAL NOW Latest Report that Pope Doesn’t Propose to Be Hurried by the Press. ROME, Aug. 30.—The reports relative to the creation of another American cardinal are unfounded, or at least premature. For fifteen years efforts have besn made to se- cure another American member of the sa- cred college, but it was found that the American episcopacy was not sufficiently favorable. General Di Cesnola came to Rome to advocate that Archbishop Ireland and the late Archibishop Corrigan both be promoted to avold their rivalry, but New York's geographical position was regarded #t the vatican as being too near Baltimore to permit of Archbishop Corrigan's ap- pointment. With the passing away of Arshbishop Corrigan the situation was much altered, and it is considered that a satisfactory solution of the Philippine qu tion might bring recompense to Archbishop Ireland for his services in the affair. At the vatican it is sald that newspaper talk will only delay Archbishop Ireland’s chances, as the pope is always irritated at the idea of anything being Imposed upon him by the pre: Mgr. Guidi, the apostolic delegate in the Philippine Islands, will be nominated Arch- bishop of Stavropoll, the only titular arch< bishopric vacant. The Observatore Ro« mano will tonight officially announce both the appointment to Manila and the con- firmant of the eplscopacy. Mgr. Guidi, r recelving an official let- ter thll morning saylng the pope wished to give him a special mark of his. benevo- lence and has appointed him apostolic dele~ gate at Manil ed for an audience, which the pope immediately granted. Mgr. Guidl thanked the pontiff for the honor conferred on him and the pope sald that from the moment it was apparent that the negotlations regarding the friars’ lands would be continued at Manila, he thought Mgr. Guidl' was the most competent and most fitted to carry on the delicate ne- gotlations. The apostolic delegate in the Philippine Islands was also received by Cardinal Gottl, the prefect of the propaganda, who sald to him: “I love you as though you were my son."” After his consecration Mgr. Guid{ will be instructed to proceed to his post imme< dlately, arriving there about November 7, He will take with him an English prelate as his secretary. GERMAN STEAKS LUXURIES They Cost Forty-Four Cents Per Pound and Are Clim! BERLIN, Aug. 30.—The price of meat in Germany continues to rise and the town council and other bodies and the newspa- rs in every part of the empire are dis- cussing what called ‘the meat famine.” The butchers’ guilds advanced the price of meat this week from 2% to 5 cents per pound. A good steak costs 44 cents a pound in Berlin. Markets are generally reparted statistically ‘26 per'cent higher now than fn 1900, although in Retterdam, Paris, Vienna and Buda Pest they are only 10 to 16 per cent higher. Germany's more rapfd advance is attributed to the scarcity of home animals, the exclusfen of foreign lvestock and the prohibiffon of ecanned meats thus suspending large American fm- ports. Hamburg figures show that the imports of American salt and smoked meats in 1901 were only 188,800 metric hundredwelghts, against 305300 In 1808, The imports of sausages have shrunk in the same time from 18,000 to 880 metric hundredwelights and American canned meats from 16,600 to 10,200 metric hundredwelights. Berlin slaughtered in July 5,110 fewer animals than in July, 1901, in spite of the incr: ing population, and the slaughterings were further diminished In August. The officlal authoritles of the kingdom of Saxony report § per cent decrease In the slaughterings since 1900 and a great lack of animals suitable for butchering.
