Business-A Vigorous Protest
Entered in Advance.

The decision, by the Supreme Court OF
Appeals, of this State, in the case OF the
State of West Virginia and Auditor Joseph
S. Miller vs.. the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
way Company, is, from its recent occur
renee, still fresh in the minds OF the pub
Lie. 1t will be remembered the company
denied the power OF the State to tax Its
property, snd that a restraining order was
granted by Judge Melvin, enjoining the
Auditor from the collection of taxes. Al
appeal to the Supreme Court was taken and
when it decided for the State, the case was
carried to the United States Supreme Court,
where it now is.
Yesterday Col. W. H. Hoeeman, attorney
for the Chesapeake K Ohio Railway Com
pany, submitted, in accordance with the
law, to the State Board of Public Works,
a statement of the property owned in West
Virginia by the company. 1t is signii-
can't fact that this is the first return ever
made, and is over the affidavit OF William
c. Wickham, Second Vice President. The
statement is offered with the following pro
test:

pany, without admitting, but, on the con-
trapy, protesting against and denying the
right OF the State OF West Virginia to de-
mand and require of it the information
hereinafter contained, and expressly de-
mics its liability to pay taxes on its prop
erty, or any part thereof. in West Virginia;
and also expressly denying the right or
power of the State of West Virginia or Of
any agency or authority thereof, or Of any
county, district or municipality thereof, to
assess its property or any part thereof in
West Virginia for taxation, or to impose
taxes thereon, and, on the contrary, claim
ing and asserting immunity and exemption
from all taxation as to all its property in
West Virginia, submits the following state,

pretty woman. who has spoilt her figure
entirely By the foolish effort to compress
an ordinary sized waist into the wasp
like proportionsof some eighteen inches
Never very graceful or elegant in form,
she might at least have remained natm-
al and healthy. tat finding, suppose,
that high shoulders and tiny waist are
attractive, irrespective of the proper
tions of the p0sscssor, she has victimized
herself till the desired result has been
obtained. can imagine nothing ugier
or more ungraceful than such form as
abe has achieved, and | am told that her
health really suffers from the compress
sion 10 which she is subject Her face
on the stage looks so fresh and fair, and
her head is altogether so clasSically
shaped and set on her shoulders, that
che could well have dispensed with the
modern deformty, and have retained
her broad Hat waist and wide shoulders
with the advantage OF being counted
like any one of the classic figures of old.
She was ill-advised when she took 70 al
