BALTIMORE, Oct. 22-The following procama.
tion has been issued tonight by Gov. Swami:
STATE OF MAINLAND, EXECUTIVE D, ,PARrARSr.
Whereas 1t has come to the knowledge of the
Executive that military and other combinations are
now figuring In the city Of Baltimore for tho pur-
pose of obstruotins and resisting the execution Of
the laws of this State; and whereas there Is reason
to believe that similar combinations attempted
to be organised in other States with the intention
Of invading the soil of the state of Maryland to
deprive her citizens Of their just rights under the
laws and to control the people of tho State by vo
lsnes and intimidation;
Now, therefore, !, Thos. Swami, Governor Of the
State Of Maryland, do by this my proclamation sol
emnly warn the leaders Of all such com
bnaions against the dignity and peace of the State
that in tho event Of riot and bloodshed growing
out of these revolutionary proceedings they will b,
held to tho strctest accountability, and the power
of the State will be exhausted to bring them tt
prompt and mcrited punishment
Given under my hand and the great seal of th,
State Of Maryland, at the city Of Annapolis, thi
22d day of October, A. D. 1906.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 22.-The most terrific yind storm
that ever visited this section Of the country swept
over the city at half past four O'Clock yesterday
doing IN incredible amount Of damage. 1t came
from the south, bearing a little eastward, and II
seemed to twist like q screw. II lasted from 10 to
is minutes, and was about quarter Of mile wide
when 1t FIRST struck, but grew narrower as It pro-
ceeded north. Scores of buildings were unroofed,
and hundreds wero moro or less injured.
Trees and fences were uprooted in evory direc.
ton. Shutters, signs and timbcrs, and all loose
things were carried through the air almost Ike
feathers. No lives have yet beon reported lost,
but several persons werc seriously injured. But q
portion of the damage done in the city is yet
known, and nothing has been received from the
country, where it is expected the damage has been
very great. A rain storm accompanied the wind
and great deal of hail fell, and heavy drifting
clouds prevailed until past midnighti but thi
morning the weather is clear and quite cool.

Stamp Duties.

AS the Internal Revenue Law in regard to
stamp duties is not generally understood, and
much inconvenience and actual loss to par
ties result therefrom, we publish below
carefully prepared statement of the law, in
regard to every day transactions. This state
ment may be relied upon as correct having
been prepared for the Johnstown Tribune by
R. Il. Canaan, Esq, clerk to the Collector OF
Internal Revenue for that District Cut it
out for preservation:
AGREEMENT or contract, for each sheet OF
paper on which the same is written, requires
a five cent stamp.
BANK CHECK, without regard to the amount
two cents. An order drawn on any other per-
son or persons, company or corporation, fol
any sum over $40, requires 2 cent stamp.
BONDS of Constables, Supervisors, or any
other public officers, require 81 stamp, and
bonds indemnifying any sum of money re-
quire 80 cent stamp for every thousand dol
lars or fractional part thereof,
PRoMIssoRY NoTEs, due bills, &c., require a
8 cent stamp when the amount is not over
500, If between $100 and 5000, a 10 cent
stamp and an increase of cents for every
Sl00 or fractional part of the same, No diff
ference how small the amount oNthe note, il
requires cent stamp, Under the present
law, the amount of the stamp is regulated by
the amount of the note, and not by the time
of which it is given.
DEEDs.-Where the consideration is less
than $500, a so cent stamp is required; when
over $500 and not over $1,000, a 81 stamp and
an additional SO cent stamp for every $500 OF
fractional part thereof
LEASE, or agreement to rent property, re-
quiree SO cent stamp if the rent does moi
exceed $500 per year. When the rent ex
ceeds $500, a so cent stamp is required fol
each additional 5000 or fractional part thereo
Leases for farms on the shares, and leases fol
coal and oil lands must be stamped according
to the estimated yearly rental. All such leases
should be presented to the collector of thu
district, who is acthorized to estimate tn,
rental and afRx the appropriate stamp.
MORTGAGES require the, same stamp al
deeds.
RECEIPTS forany sum over $40 require a
cent stamp, except receipts in, satisfaction
any mortgage, judgment or decree of an,
court. The same stamp is required on re
ceipt for the delivery of any property.
PowE2 OF ATTORNEY to receive or collec
rents, requires 25 cent stamp. To sell o
convey, or rent, or lease real estate, a S
stamp; for any other purpose, so cents.
CERTIFICATES AND AFFIDAvITs require a
lcent stamp. Justices of the Peace shoul
bear in mind that is their duty to afix an
cancel the stamp on all afidavits made befor
them, except when taken in suits or legs
proceedings.
POSTAGE STAMPS cannot be used.
1t is the duty of the maker of the instru
ment to afix and cancel the stamp. A failul
to do so subjects him to heavy penalty.
When two or more persons join in the ex'
cution of an instrument, any one of them ca
afix and cancel the stamp.
