would be simply enormous.
The time has come when the margin for
profits In all branches of business
and industry is very short, and in the
future will still be closer. These heavy
taxes would cause capital to go into non.
taxable securities, and would be a heavy
burden on trade and manufactures.

cess, it does not clearly appear that it
would benefit our private schools or the
proposed Female College. 1t looks more
like requiring the stockholders in these
institutions to pay heavy tax to support
an institution competing with their own
for patronage. Some of them look at in
this light. To carry out the plan will re-
quire additional legislation, but this can
be had for the asking. And when OBJ
tanned, somebody else will be blamed for
such ruinous taxation. B.

County Official Paper


The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue anticipates legislation by the
next Congress that will abolish the
tax on tobacco. He says the whole
Internal Revenue cannot be abOl-
ished because it would reduce the in
come Of the government too much
but the tax on liquors, which amounts
to about SlOo,OOO,OOO year, will be
sufficient income from internal reve-
nue.. The abolition Of the tax on
tobacco will enable the Commissioner
to consolidate revenue districts and
dispense with the services Of q num-
ber OF collectors, as the tax on liquors
would be collected at the distilleries.
If, as we have been repeatedly told,
the tariff on imported articles is paid
by foreign manufacturer and pro-
duoers and not by consumers in the
United States, why not abolish the
whole revenue system and collect all
the revenue necessary to pay the OK
penses Of the Government at the
Custom Houses? Protection to home
industries is excellent in theory and
has q captivating sound in political
campaign. If it is as good as repre-
scented we should have more of it and,
in fact, cannot have too much Of it.
Therefore instead Of simply abolish
ing the tax on tobacco the whole in
ternal revenue tax should be wiped
out and duties on imports increased.
How can n Republican representative
in Congress, who told the people in
the campaign year ago that foreign
ers, not our own people, paid the tariff
tax, consistently vote to retain an in
ternal revenue tax, which is paid ex-
clusively by our citizens, when all the
money necessary to carry on the
Government can be collected from
duties on imports? If the tariff is
good for the country let us have
enough Of it to pay the expenses OF
the Government without resorting
to other methods Of taxation.-[Silver

Mummified Human Heads.

There Is a most interesting ethno-
logical specimen at the art museum,
recently presented by Mrs. F. Has
saurek. twas brought from Ecuador
by the late Frederick Hassaurek. 1t
is dried human head from the
Jivaros Indians on the Napo river,
Ecuador, South America There are
few Of these heads now. The Ma
tionRl Museum at Washington
has one, I believe. The heads
thus treated are always trophies
taken from a slain enemy. An In
cision is made quite through the skin
around the neck, we'll down toward
the shoulders. The skin Is then
drawn off over the head. just as one
would do in haying an animal, cut
tings being made wherever muscular
adhesion made It necessary. The
features are thus left intact The
skin is then soaked in an infusion OF
some kind OF herb. The second step
consists In filling the skin with hot
pebbles and sand, over and over, until
it Is quito shrunken and dry. The
soaking in the decoction and the
shrinking and drying are alternately
practiced until the trophy is reduced
to tho desired proportions The
mouth is then sewed mp, a cord Is
passed through the top Of tho head,
and the head Ia hung up in the smoke.

Good For The Cronn

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 27.-The
signal service weekly crop review
says:
decidedly favoroble for crops i'll the
spring wheat regions of Minnesota and
Dakota, where a good harvest is in
progress. Throughout the northern
states of the central valleys, extending
from the Ohio westward to Nebraska
and Kansas. the weather favorable for
corn, which is reported as excellent
and growing finely. The harvesting of
winter wheat, grass and oats was in
terrupted by rains, and the weather in
many localities was too wet for their
threshing. Throughout the cotton
region, including the gulf and south
Atlantic states, report indicate that
the weather was favorable for all grow
ing crops and that the cotton is i'm
proving rapidly, also that the tobacco
in Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia
was improved and is progressing finely
except that planted on low ground in
Virginia which is suffering from ex-
ceSsive rains. In the middle Atlantic
states the week was generally favor
| able for harvesting and growing crops.
In New York an average crop of wheat
rye and barley is reported, while corn
| is Door, potatoes fair and oats above
the average. The excessive rains
have doubtless injured the fruit crops
in New Jersey and grapes are reported
as a failure. Excessive rains were
| generally injurious to all except the
corn and bean crops in northern New
England, while in the southern portion
of New England crops were generally
improved, except cranberTies, which
were greatly injured by hail and vine
worm. Reports from Oregon state
that an average wheat crop is being
harvested rapidly, but that the recenI
warm, dry weather has caused some
injury.

Hanged for Murder.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 31.-Charles
digger, murderer of two policemen
last August, and Harry Smart, MUIR
derer of Maisner Green and wife, were
hanged at sos this morning.
When Dilger's body dropped, the
end of the rope which formed the
knot was seen to unravel and the moose
refused to tighten the knot, which
was so far united as to be only held in
place by one coil and the rope was
caught directly under the point of his
chin. Tie scene was sickening. 1t
could be seen at glance that death
would not result inside of two or three
hours unless something was done and
the strained breathing of the unfortu-
nate man could be heard over the en-
tire enclosure. Two of the officers
leaned down the trap, and
getting hold of tho moose near the
neck drew Dilger's body back through
the opening on the platform. A new
rope was quickly made fast to the
beam over head, the drop being the
same as before. This required in all
five minutes, and the new moose was
then placed around Dilger's neck, the
drop falling the second time at6:Q3
The new rope also seemed reluctant to
do its duty, and the knot slipped cleSl
around to the back of his neck, il
frightened, however, and the work was
done. AT 6:32, twenty-four minutes
after the drop fell, he was pronounced
dead, and few seconds later he was
cut down,

was arrested some years ago for issuing
bad money. Before he attempted his
escape, having heard that the officers
were on his track, he buried all the
money he had coined. Recently he
reappeared at his old haunt near Ar

time, and simultaneously appeared
the counterfeit coin, the same as he
had passed years ago. He suspected

terfeiter, he had disappeared. Detec-
tiyeS are following him.

An Orange Trust Next.

NEW YORK, July 27.-A meeting of
the wholesale fruit merchants who are
in the disposition of the Florida orange
crop will be held in this city August
Is, and leading dealers in oranges from
the principal cities throughout the
country will attend in person or have
representatives present. The object lie
ostensibly the combination of the large
houses in the trade for the purpose of
obtaining lower rates of freight,
quicker and better transportation and
the concentration of shipments to two
or three of the most important north
ern cities, but the real object is to form
an orange trust which will control the
entire Florida orange crop, direct the
packing and shipping and confine the
sale of the oranges to the members of
the trust. Last February it was an
nounced that steps were being taken
to form this combination, and the
matter is now in fair way of being
carried through.
