County treasurer Clark has adopted
the plan of filling out tax receipts in adj
vance, the names on the roll being mum
bered to correspond with the receipts
thus prepared. By this system the is

stand SO long in line on busy days. Tax
es are reported to be coming in slowly.

JUDGE Anderson has delivered his de-
cision in the matter of the application Of
Mormons who have taken the endow-
ment house oath for admission to citi-
zenship. He states the grounds of his
opposition to the admission of the appli-
cants to citizenship to be that the Nor
mon church is, and always has been,
reasonable organization in its teachings
and practices, hostile to the government
of the United States, disobedient to its
laws and seeking to overthrow; that
the oath administered TO its members in
the endowment house binds them, under
the penalty of death, to implicit obedl-
ence in all things, temporal as well as
spiritual, to the priesthood, and to
avenge the deaths of the prophets, Joseph
and Hiram Smith, upon the government
aud people of the United States. The
Judge reviewed at length the evidence
submitted by the government regarding
the endowment house ceremonies, the
teachings Of the church, etc. Referring
to the testimony OF the Witnesses for
the Mormons, he said that all Of them
testified concerning the endowment GER
emonies, but declined to state what

A Lesson or she Great Strike.

The London lockers strike was the
most remarkable event Of the kind in the
history of labor. The extraordinary fea-
ture Of It was that the dock Iab0rers
should strike at all, and still more extra
ordinary it was that, having struck, they
gained their point and had their wages
raised.
The London dockcr belongs to the very
lowest and most sYreichcd class Of labor
ers, partly b. his owa fault, partly by
the fault Of the great corporations that
employ him He is one type Of the vast
throng of white slaves out OF which
civilization slowly sQueezes the life and
the manhood. There is nothing in bar
barism SO degraded, SO apparently hope
less, as this lowest class, which IS the
product of civilization.
Yet in every one Of these creatures
there is a desire for something higher
and better. In the case Of the London
lockers they demanded something bet
ter, and, to the surprise Of everybody,
got it.
How? We read that the lockers
cause was SO just that they had the sym
pathy OF the working people of Great
Britain. Thousands Of laborers in en-
ployments connected with theirs, whc
had not their grievances, went out with
them. 4 spirit Of restiveness pervaded
all the trades societies on the island.
The taiIors also struck; the bakers, the
cab drivers, the railway employees and
others were moved by the wave of dis
content and insurrection that hoated
from the London docks. The wave dis
turbed all England, even the millionaire
noblemen who are kept awake nights
trying to devise ways TO spend theiI
money.
The strike was managed with consum-
mate tact by the large Drained, good
tempered engineer who led it, John
Burns. He began his career as an engi-
neer; he viii not end it as such. He
is already a professional expert, and his
speciality is conductor of strikes.
To Burns, as far as it can be claimed
by any one man, IS owing the success Of
the great strike. But there is deeper,
grander reason for its success than the
efforts Of any one person, or any dozen
persons. That reason is this; The labor
ers held together as one man, and the
working people Of all Great Britain stood
by them. That was why they succeeded.
1t was standing together, corporation,
that did it,
Utilizing this one idea, workingp people
can rule the world From their perfect
union will grow a giant that all the cap
italists in Christendom cannot down.
This is the thought of John Burns, in
his attempt to form federation Of labor

JUte

Once more the question Is discussed Of
cultivating jute III the southern states,
since the cotton farmers in many locali-
ties are using cotton baggirg for then
bales rather than paronize the jute milk
bagging trust. But cotton bagging is not
as well liked as the other, and now the
farmers say: Why cannot we raise ou1
own jute? Why not, indeed? It is true.
in case they did, the product would have
still to pass through the mills Of the
Ioathed combination, or, if other mills
started up, it would not be long till they
too joined the trust, but still little thing
like that ought not to stand in the way
of raising the raw material. We should
be just that much more independent OF
India and England, a calculation has
been made that jute can be produced al
a cost Of one and a half cents q pound
on the same soil that viii grow hemp.
Our improved machinery of culture
would produce vastly more than is done
by the rude and primitive methods Of
India

The storms that do such incalculable
damage along our southern and eastern
coasts are generated in the boiling hot
atmosphere of the Caribbean sea. They
are usually known as West Indian hur-
ricanes. A popularity of them is that
they follow the general course Of the
gulf stream rorthoa5tward. What ia
known Of them definitely IS that immense
volumes Of heated air rise among the
islands east Of the Caribbean sea. They
rise and whirl around and around in
great cddies, sucking up in their course
more and more hot air, circIing eastward
and northward as they whirl. Why
they ~ove in these vast circles, and why
they travel eastward and northward will
be a problem for future scientists to
solve.
If a cyclone like this touches the Gulf
coast then there is terrific storm along
our southern shores. Destruction and
terror are in the wake Of such a hurri-
cane
Again the cyclone stands OF the Gulf
coast, whirls ea5twardly, then, suddenly
drawn northward, follows the line of the
Atlantic coast from Georgia to British
America. In the southern Atlantic states
the rice and cotton fields are wrecked;
further north, watering place hotels and
towns are damaged, houses are splintered
in the gale and ships are foundered and
driven upon the coast. The hurricane
season is from Aug. 10 to Oct. 20. 1t il
then that the accumulated heat develops
its greatest energy. 1t is rare for sea,
son to pass without at least one of these
mighty hurricanes,

That Kentucky War IS Over.

"Hostilities have ceased, at least for the

borhood, and at present there is no indica-
ton Of renewal. No one has been killed
for at least thirty-six hours and interest in
the feud is tagging at present. Gen
eral Swineford is under Indictment for
the assassination of Jack Turner two
years ago and even should he be released
there are other charges which will doubt
less be strong enough to hold him.
In fact several murders in which he has
been implicated in one way or another have
still to be carried into court. The killing
of James Burch unnamed another leader
of the SoWder crowd, and so far as that
faction is concerned the war is at an end
unless the Turner's start it again.
Alvin Turner's death at the hands of
Burch deprived the followers of that young
hotspur OF their chief source Of revenue"

vices in the campaign. There is, however,
opposition in New Mexico. The moderat,

Shoe Factory Burned.

CHICAGO, March 26.-The Central ware
house at the corner of Rush and North
Water streets took fire early this morning,
and with valuable store of teas, coffees
and merchandise was burned to the
ground, entailing an estimated loss of be-
tween S1,25O,OOO and 81 100000. The fire
department had very hard task but sue
ceeded in preventing the flames from
destroying great grain elevators and
other buildings in the vicinity.
MANIERRE MAKES MERRY.
Alderman Manierre, manager of the
warehouse, grimly remarked as he looked
at the ruins that it was his tea
party and that everybody was invited
In point of fact as water from twenty
engine nozzles soaked down the contents Of
the building, the basement was soon filled
with water and when the 10000 cases of
tea began to brew, the steam of the tea
gushed from windows and doors. The
docks for a distance of a hundred feet were
flooded with an amber colored liquid that
poured like a cataract into the river, and
and steam arising from it perfumed the
air for blocks around.
HOW THE FIRE ORIGINATED.
Alderman Manierre is satisfied that the
fire was of incendiary origin, it being the
third fire in that structure within year
which can be accounted for in no other
way. The building was six-story brick,
which cost when built s50,0 900. About 80
per cent. in value of the contents was tea
in bond, as it was bonded warehouse;
Besides this there were several thousand
packages of coffee and other miscellaneous
articles. The tea was owned by firms IN
various large cities, which makes 1t ex-
tremely difficult to accurately estimate the
individual losses and insurance.
WHO THE LOSERS ARE.
The following losses are known: Catha-
rine Brownson on building $4,000, insur-
ance $40, 900; w. r. Manierre's loss $4,000,
insurance $4,000; Fitch & Rowland.

are: Wineman, Covant & Co., Boston,
