THE outlook for our grand south
ern country continues to brighten.
Diversifying crops, fertilizing the
land, and economizing in the man
ner Of living and the manner OF
farming, all conspire to build up the
interests of the country, and enlight-
en- the people. The future of the
country depends almost entirely up
on the enlightenment of the people,
for when the people learn exactly
how to manage and cultivate the
soil, how much provision to produce,
how much goods to buy at the stores,
and much other such common sense
knowledge the country will evident
ly begin to prosper. 1t is common
sense we want, such as knowing how
to farm, how to preserve moisture,
and how to manage cattle and hogs.
Experiment, and do not always run
in the same old groove. That man
who never tries a new "idea" about
planting corn and cotton, will never
make much advancement in the
world.

THE AFTERNOON GAM

The home club was again victorious in the
afternoon, in as interesting game of ball as
ever was played here, and which was witnessed
by fully 1000 people. The fielding on both sides
was wonderfully good-Remsen, Kenzie, Peo-
pies and Downing particularly distinguishing
themselves, A perusal of the score will show
how busy the Fort Wayne outfielders were kept
Remsen particularly, who made several fine fly
catches, while on the other hand Peoples made
two marvellous stops. The game, as a whole,
was an exhibition of scientific ball playing that
is seldom equaled. The result gives the Indian
apolis club a strong lead in the championship
series. Following is the seore

THE BLAINE SENSATION.

An Interview with the Ex-Secretary-The
Assassination Theory Explained.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Mr. Blaine was
called upon to-day for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what foundation there was for the
report, current at a late hour last night, that
a pistol ball was fired through a carriage in
which he and Representative Mckinley were
riding, one evening last week. Mr., Blaine
said:
ION Thursday evening last, Mr.. Mckinley
and | rode from the Capitol to the Ebbitt
House in the same carriage. From the Eb-
bit House, where | stopped a few minutes, I
rode home at once. l dismissed the car
none of the family were out and to
be sent for. The next DAY, about
noon, l heard that one of the large panes of
glass in the carriage had been broken, and
that fragments of glass were scattered pro-
fusely over the seat on which Mr.. Mckinley
and | had been sitting. A few hours after L
heard of it l inquired of Mr., Mckinley
whether he noticed any noise or breakage
during our ride, and he said. mot the
slightest" He rendered that the windows
of both doors in the carriage were closed be-
fore we left the Capitol; the air became quite
sharp. He remembered this very distinctly,
as | did also, for he threw his cigar away,
with the remark that he would not smoke
in a close carriage. OF course, a pistol
ball fired INTO the carriage must
have gone through it, or
have been found. 1t did not go through, and
no ball has been found. In my Judgment,
the hole was never made by a pistol ball. 1t
more resembles a crash from a stone hurled
violently"
What is your theory about it2' inquired
the reporter.
II have none," replied Mr.. Blaine. ~ only
know the window was not broken while 1
was in the carriage. What occurred after
ward | have no means of knowing"
Mr.. Blaine further said he attached no i'm
portance or significance whatever to the
broken carriage window, and regretted that
any notice had been taken of it.

says: 'The river has been stationary since

yesterday, and is probably falling to-day. A

Inquiries as to When They Take Enect-No
ton.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The question as to
when the tax on capital and deposits of
banks, bankers and national banking asso-
Citations will cease, under the operation of
the act of March 3 to reduce internal taxa
ton, has not yet been decided. No decision
will be made or this question until a case
arises. The statement that an opinion had
been requested from the Encouragement is
incorrect. 1t is the opinion of certain
officers of the Treasury Department that,
unde section 10, which prescribes that
the repeal of the existing laws emu
merated in this act shall not affect
any right accrued or accruing, it will prob
ably be held that such taxes must be levied
for the period ending March 3, the date of
passage of the act. Unless this ruling shall
prevail, the national banks will have paid
taxes on capital and deposits to Jan. 1, and
other banks and bankers to Dec. 1, giving
the latter an advantage of one months
taxes.
The Treasury Department is in receipt of
all sorts of inquiries in regard to the proper
construction of certain provisions of the new
tariff bill. 1t is stated upon good authority
that none of these tariff questions will be
passed upon by the department until the
new law goes into effect.
