Fargo Insurance Company.

Valley Springs Enterprise.
The winding up of the Fargo Insur-
ance company shows up the biggest
fraud ever known in the West and one
of the largest swindling schemes ever
carried on in America. But the fraud
and swindling part comes from the fact
that the company were doing several
thousand dollars worth of business on
less than $500 capital, but as this is
nothing more nor less than what seven
per cent of all the insurance companies
are and have been doing, it behooves
the suckers" to beware of the hooks
baited with insurance frauds. The
only thing that will bring those scoun-
drels to their senses will be strong dose

the home team excelling, both in the
number and effective playing of hits.
The fielding was rather loose at times.
Gilligan joined the Detroits here, and

stop work was good, but his weak
throwing to baSes-due, perhaps, to lack
of practice-permitting the Indianapo-

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The Boston

fine game here to-day, and as in the pre-
ceding contests, the visitors left the field
victorious. The home club was out

of the Bostons was sharp, and they

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 27.-About
1900 people witnessed the second game
of the Pittsburg and Chicago, and there
was lack of enthusiasm throughout.
In the first inning after making hit,
Miller, while sliding at second, was
struck by Pfeiffer's spikes IN the ribs,
cutting and so injuring him that he re-
tired in favor of Fields. The features
of the game were the batting of Sulli-
van and Sunday and a magnificent catch
of Sullivan at the fence of Kuehne's
fly, he falling backward, but holding to
the ball. Decker came in for some
round denunciation from the crowd for
close decisions at bases. Score:

THE proportion which the distilled
spirits used in the industries bear to
the aggregate alcohol product is not
known with accuracy. Experts, how
ever, are disposed to place the pro-
portion at about one-tenth. 1t this
estimate be correct the government
receives about S6,O0O,oOOto $1,000,
900 every year from the tax on alco-
hol used in the arts and ~ manufactures.
Most Republicans and many Demo-
Gratis have long favored taking off the
excise from this part of the whisky
product. This scheme would reduce
the surplus to the extent indicated
without affecting in the least the
whisky which is used as g. beverage.

The Welland Canal.

An Ottawa special says an inquiry has
been made at the department of rail
ways and canals to ascertain what au-
thority there is for the statement upon
which Congressman Dingley supports
his resolution of inquiry in the Ameri-
can House of Representatives as to the
alleged discrimination against American
vessels in the Welland Canal. The
treaty Of Washington contains the
following clause: 1.-THE govern
ment Of her Britannia majesty
engages to urge upon the gov
eminent of the Dominion of Canada
to secure to the citizens OF the United
States the use Of the Welland, st. Law
renee and other canals in the Dominion
on terms of equality with the inhabitants
of the Dominion" An official stated
that while this was being carried out in
the letter, he doubted much if the spirit
Of the treaty was being observed. He
said grain was carried for trans-sh1p-
ment to the seaboard entirely through
Canada, after its entrance at the Welland
Canal, free of tolls, while grain to be
trans-shipped at American ports was
obliged to pay tolls.

Canadian BanknOtes.

The recent decision of the internal
revenue commission at Washington that
every bank in the Uuited States,
whether state or national, is liable to a
tax of 10 per cent. on the amount of
Canadian banknotes it uses for circu-
lation, or is paid out by either
in checks Or otherwise, has attracted
some attention in Canada. While the
Canadian government may not feel dis
posed to act in the matter, American
silver brought into Canada (under the
Canadian law as it stands) is liable to a
duty of 20 per cent. and this provision
may possibly be more rigidly enforced in
the future than it has been in the past. AL
ready the collector of customs at Wind
sor, Ont, has written to the depart
ment at Ottawa, calling attention to the
quantities of American silver in circula-
ton along the Ontario frontier, and it's
presence in the circulation is deemed
conclusive proof that it has been snug
