National Rank Taxation.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The Posts Wash
ington special says: 1.-The attention OF the
comptroller of the currency was called to-
day to dispatch from Chicago stating that
committee had been appointed to lnvestl-
gate the law and facts bearing upon the
complaints of tax discrimination against
national banks under state laws, the Chi
cago bankers to join those of New York and
Boston in the inquiry. The comptroller
said that there Is no doubt that the laws in
many OF the states imposing tax on capital
invested in National bank shares are so
drawn that capital so invested pays a
higher tax than capital invested in other
joint stock enterprises or other
personal property. This is in di-
rect conflict with the law Of
congress, which provides that the legisla-
ture of each state may impose tax upon
capital invested i'll national bank stock,
under certain conditions, one of which is:
That the taxation shall not be at a greater
rate than that assessed upon other moneyed
capital in the hands of individual citizens
of such state Mr.. Cannon says that it is
very difficult to enact law taxing national
bank shares and other personal property
without injustice to CAPITAL invested in the
bank. The principal reason for this is that
the holders of national bank shares are pub
liciy known. the stock easily located. and
the tax readily collected. Mr.. Cannon will
treat the subject Of state taxation of ma
tional banks at length in his annual report.

SALTWATER NEWS.
A Polo Match.


The Polo club went to Winona on Satur-
day night and was done-up by the club of
that city by score of 3 to 1. The names
and positions of the boys who played are as
follows: James Kelley, head rusher;
George Gorham, second rusher; Ed Jelli-
son, half-back: Charles Warner, cover
point; Harry Copern, goal cover; George
Schuttingler.. goal tend. Charley Smith
and James Pratt who were unable to go,
weakened the club considerably. Recent
changes has weakened the organization very
materially, in fact there is only one man of
the old club in the new. The boys know
that the Winona club is the crack club Of
the state, and think themselves fortunate
in having won even one goal, as that is
more than they expected. They expect
the Winona club up some time in the near
future to play return game, when they
expect to do better. The boys say they
could not have been better entertained than
thew were.

chopping him up in fearful mannerI

the crime, but he committed suicide during
the investigation. A detective has been
working the case up and yesterday William
Courtwright, son of Thornton, and man
named Slaterfeld were lodged in jail here

mounted horse this morning and started

inal cost of the 1000 mares was but S175,-
600, any schOol-boy can figure the profit.
Put 5000 mares to work on the property,
and the margin will be increased five-fold.
Tine prospect is so inviting that the business
is likely to be overdone. Those who desire
to turn their attention to the horse range
should act promptly. The harvest will be
in the ten years to come. After that, if we
are not mistaken, the competition will be
so sharp as to greatly reduce the profits.
A horse reared in Wyoming. Colorado or
Montana, can be landed in New York at 4
years old at total cost of $55, and as he
will readily sell for $165. the profit on him,
at the least calculation, is 500. Place
5000 horses on the market every year and
the annual profit will amount to $500, 0OO."-

For this purpose not only have speakers of

colored speakers, such as Bishop Campbell

A PACKING HOUSE CREMATED.
Some Seventy-Five Hundred DO
Worth Of Property DESTROYED.

Worth OF Property DesoS
Last night at s o'clock all alarm OF nre
was sent in from box 473, and almost I'M
mediatelv after the northwestern SKY was
agIow and the impression got out that the
University avenue street car barns were
afre. Following the first was a general
alarm and the engines, hook and ladder
trucks and chemicals promptly went out.
The fire proved to be in the packing mousse
of the Haas Bros. corner of Kent and La
Fond streets. and the inilammable nature
of the building and its con-
tents proved too much for the
fire department. although it worked ener-
getically with every drop of water that it
could bring to bear on the flames, and the
building in less than an hour was but a
heap of glowing Goals and warped and
molten machinery.
The building, which was frame struc-
ture about 75X2O feet. was two stories hlgh
and along the La Fond street front ran a
shed used for the storage of salt and other
material. The shed was almost completely
DESTROYED, but It's contents were saved Win
lint little damage. The burning oil, grease
and meat rendered the heat so intense tlat

oct anywhere near the building, but had
fher NOT been hampered by this circum-
stance they could hardly have done more
etfectual service, as the flames swept
LIKE A BESoM
from one end of the building to the other
and before the tiremen arrived it was
completely enveloped in a roaring mass
of fire.
The cause of the fire is mystery. 1t
seems to have first shown itself Ill the
second story in the rear end of the building,
and long distance from the boilers and
chimney. Mr. Haas stated that there was
no combustble matter stored i'll that part OF
the building that he could remember, and
when incendiarism was suggested. he de-
clared himself as doubling any such origin.
Fortunately there We're no buildings in that
immediate vicinity, and other property was
not damaged.

Where to Raise Horses.

AS Cheyenne is the center of the upland
grazing district, as it is a recognized dis
tributing point, land near it is increasing in
value all the time. The best of it will
readily sell for S. an acre, and as the free
range grows more crowded every year,
those who want to continue in the live
stock business, out of which large fortunes
have been made, will have, in self-defense,
to purchase and fence the land. The sDlen-
did water fronts of the So 900 acres owned
by the Post Percheron Horse association
give permanent value to this property.
Within the vast inclosure 10, 900 horses can
be cared for with perfect safety at one

with regularity, will swell the herd at the

ST. PAUL,s TRADE.
Wholesale and Retail Busines
During the Past Week.


This has been an active week in financial
circles. Eastern exchange has been scarce
and firm.
Real estate transactions have been very
brisk, and the value of the transfers has
exceeded half million dollars.
There is no change to report in wholesale
groceries since the previous week. Business
continues very active, with excellent c0llec-
lions.
The dry goods business has been quiet,
with good collections. Freezing weather
is needed to stimulate trade in heavy goods.
The drug market is active and prices gen
orally well sustained, with some advances.
The advance in white lead is the most inn
portant recent advance. Oil peppermint
and opium are higher. Ginseng and seneca
are dull, the best grades only desired.
A satisfactory trade has been done in
wholesale clothing, with collections coming
in well.
Business continues excellent with the
hat, cap aud fur dealers, and collections
in this line are better than ever before.
A fair winter trade has been done in
boots and shoes; the weather has been too
fine of late for this branch of business. A
good supply of rain would help it.
The leather trade has been fairly good,
with further advance on harness.
An active demand continues for hardware
of all kinds, with tendency to SITTER
prices.
A good, steady business has been done in
wholesale wines and liquors, with fair col
lectiOns.
This has been quiet week with the lum-
Der dealers; trade is now drawing to a
close.
There has been little movement in fruit
the dealers having now stored their stocks
for the winter. Messrs. B. Presley 81 Co.
have been appointed Northwestern agents
for the Florida Fruit exchange. A fair
amount of business has been done in all
lines of the retail trade.

Decision Against Bradstreet.

u
MONTREAL. Nov. 21.-The firm of Cars
ley & Co., dry goods retailers, who sned
Bradstreet for $50 900 damage by reason
OF false reports published in the notification
sheet to the effect that the firm was asking
an extension from its English creditors on
liabilities OF $4,000, this morning got judg-
ment for $4,000 and costs. Bradstreet Will
appeal and fight the case to the very end of
litigation, as the judgment against the
agency makes a precedent rather dangerous
to them.
