ANOTHER CAPTURE.
One More Member of the oliphant
Gang Behind the Bars.

Jack Williams, another member,
and it is thought the leader and prime
mover of the gang who robbed the
Iron Mountain Passenger train and
assisted in the murder of its conduct
or, has fallen into the outstretched
hands of the law and now lies behind
the bars Of the State prison, at Little
Rock.
The first known of Williams cap
turS was BY means of telegram from
Batesville Ark, which was received
at Governor Fishback's office in Lit
tie Rock, on Friday. A courier was
Immediately dispatched by the Gov
ernor in response to the message
which stated that Williams was at
that place and in charge of Deputy
Sheriff Pemberton, of Searcy county,
who refused to turn him over to the
State authorities until he was paid
the sum of $1,000. Secretary Flippin
left in the afternoon on special. He
was empowered by the Governor to
secure Williams even though he had
to adopt the most stringent measures
to accomplish this end He also bore
the following letter:
Little Rock, Nov. "a, 1898.
To Deputy Sheriff Pamberton:
Your action in holding Williams
aloof from the law, renders you an
accessory after the fact and subjects
you to the penalty attached to such a
crime. You are an officer of the law
and it is your duty to turn hum over
for trial. Whoever is entitled to the
rewards will get them.
W. NJ. FIsHBACK, Governor.
Deputy Marshall Ed. Weigel and
Officer Newt. Faulkinbury accompa-
MED Secretary Flippin.
At Newport the party was Joined
by Tom Williamson, the energetic
Sheriff of lizard county, and Sheriff
Hopgood, Of Jackson county, both of
whom have won renown from their
efforts IN running down the robbers.
Deputy Sheriff Pemberton was also
at Newport. When he was Informed
of the object of the visit of the officers
he expressed great indignation, and
intimated that there was plenty of law
too much in fact, but mighty little
Justice in Arkansas. He said he
wanted to got all the money he could
for the capture of Williams, and
spoke of the trouble he had had in
bringing him across the country.
Williams was captured near Witt
Springs, in Searcy county, after long
chase. Deputy Sheriff Pemberton
was at first not inclined to give him
up, but after talking the matter over
with members of the party he decided
to surrender the prisoner. He gave
him up with bad grace, showing by
his manner the disgust he felt at the
turn affairs had taken. He said that
if his expenses and stated sum per
day were paid him he would capture
the remaining train robbers, who are
still atlsrge, but as no one accepted
the offer he turned his back on the
entire party, declining to have further
communication with them.
Williams was brought at once to

INCOME TAX DISCUSSED.
Congressman McMillin Emphatically
Denies That 1T Has Ever Been
Abandoned.

| ~
Abandoned.
Has the income tax been abandon
ed? was the question propounded by
a newspaper reporter to Representa-
tive McMillin, of Tennessee, at Wash
ington City, on Saturday of last week.
Mr.. McMillin is the chairman of the
subcommittee on internal revenue
and is a sturdy supporter of the prop
osition to tax incomes. The inquiry
was put to him because of this fact
and because of the additional reason
that Mr.. David Wells was reported to
have publicly stated last night that
the income tax had been definitely
abandoned.
"You may say" said Mr.. McMillin,
speaking with unusual deliberation,
sand you cannot say it too emphati-
cally, that there will be an income
tax, Mr. Wells to the contrary not
withstsnding."
"Are you willing to make public
the details of the proposed income
taxi"
upon that point" said Mr. McMil-
lin, "you must excuse me from speak
ing, but you may set it down as a fact
that an income tax will be a part of
the new tariff bill"
Notwithstanding Mr.. McMillin's reti-
cence, the inside history of the com
mittee's deliberations regarding the
proposition are gradually coming to
light. Not only has it been tiercely
assailed by several members of the
committee, but the protests from lead
ing members throughout the country
against it have been numerous and
strong. President Cleveland's oppo-
sition to the tax, which will be moro
of passive than an active nature, has
not yet been without its influence in
changing the position Of at least two
members of the committee who origi-
nalIy favored the plan.
What Mr.. Wells probably meant by
his declaration was that the proposed
tax on incomes per Sc was likely to
be abandoned. This no doubt will be
done, but on the other hand Mr.. Nc
Milin was equally correct in saying
that an income tax will be reported.
The difference is that the scope Of the
plan will be materially changed from
that originally proposed. The origi-
nal proposition was a graduated in
come tax on incomes from $4,000 up
ward. The compromise that has
probably been agreed upon will be
tax on legacles OH rentals from prop
erty, incomes from non-residents and
the earnings of large corporations
above a given figure. Such an act, it
is argned, will be felt by only mini
mum number Of people and would be
far less Objectionable than the one up
on incomps alona
There is some doubt at present If
the internal revenue schedules viii be
reported with the bill. There is no
purpose on the part of the committee
to disconntct them from the measure,
but it is questioned if the work upon
them will be completed by the first of
the week. If they are not finished at
that time they will be given out few
days later. Chairman Wilson feels,
however, that popular curiosity re-
gardlng the bill is very great and he
is not disposed to delay in making
public the tariff schedules q moment
longer than necessary. AS these will
be finished by today they will at once
be given 10 the press without regard
to other features Of the bill.

A Burglar Alarm.

The eother night people living near King
street were awakened by cries of "Help, >
"Thieves," Burglars" etc., in female
voice. The bold men hurried on their
clothes and rushed out into the night.
There on a tin roof stood the figure of a
woman clad in light wrapper, and in
tremulous tones she declared that there
were burglars down stairs. As she would
not venture down to unlock the door,
the men secured ladder, and arming
themselves with clubs went up on the
roof and in through the window and
down the stairs. But the burglars did
not show up or even the slightest trace
OF any.
Down in the cellar, however, they
found lighted lamp which the lady had
left there herself in the early evening
and forgotten about. A grown daugh-
ter, who was the only other occupant OF
the house, had looked out of her window
in the night, and, discovering a stream Of
light out across the lawn, called her
mother, who took it to be light from a
burglars dark lantern, and SO gave the
alarm.-Springfeld Homestead.

TERRIBLE DISASTER AVOIDED.
A Republican Attempt to AboIIsI Tarin
Taxes Exposed.


Taxes Exposed.
The I-told-you-so Republicans who are
trying to make the country believe what
they themselves do not believe-that the
present money stringency and industrial
depression is due to the fear that the
Democrats will live up to their platform
might well consider the terrible disaster
that would have befallen us if Harrison
had been elected and the country really
expected him to keep the pledges of the
Republican platform. That the Re
publicans were pledged to much lower
duties than the Democrats seems never
to have entered IT," heads of the calamity
shouters of the G. o. p, yet such is the
case.
1t is quite certain that the Democrats
will noe reduce duties so that they will
average less than % per cent on manu-
factured goods-the average duties of
the Reform clubs proposed bill. Yet
duties levied in accordance with the Re
publican platform could not possibly ex
ceed 20 per cent on manufactured goods
and would probably not exceed 10 pei
cent.
The Minneapolis platform says that
ION all imports coming into competition
with the products of American labor
there should be levied duties equal tc
the difference between wages abroad and
at home" The only possible way to
estimate this difference in duties is tc
find the difference in the labor cost OF
producing certain quantity at home
and abroad and to make duties equal te
this difference. But the total labor cost
of manufactured goods in this country,
according to census reports, was 25 per
cent IN 1860, 90 per cent in 1870 and %
per cent in 1880. 1t is expected that
the census of 1890 will show it to be less
than 20 per cent. Hence, if it costs
nothing to produce goods in Europe,
Republican duties could not exceed 90
per cent. And if goods cost only half as
much to produce there as here, as is
claimed by some of the widest protec.
tionists, then duties should averag
about 10 per cent.
But, in the opinion of eminent Repub-
icans like James G.. Blaine and William
M. Evarts, who made official reports
upon the subject, the difference in wages
paid here and abroad but represents the
difference in the amount of work done,
SO that goods are manufactured as
cheaply here as abroad. Such being the
case the Republicans, if in power, must
reduce duties to practically nothing
that is, if they should pay any attention
to their platform. What an awful pre-
dicament we would then be in, with no
tariff taxes and with cheap goods! We
shudder to think of what we escapedi
1t is only fair to say that the country
would expect Republicans to pay as little
attention to their platform as the Demo
cratic party Is paying to Republican
howls. BYRON w. HOLT.

Tariff Scrapping In Europe.

The tariff war between Germany and
Russia goes bravely on. In reply to Ger
many's last charge Russia has clapped
an additional duty of 30 per cent on
German imports. The embargo upon
reciprocal trade between the two coun-
tries, except what is carried on by the
honest smuggler, threatens to become
complete. But it is an ill wind that
blows nobody good. Austria Hungary
hopes to profit largely by the tariff war.
fare between their two powerful neigh
bors. This country, too, will find in
Germany market for considerable guam
titles of breadstuffs and provisions that
have hitherto been supplied by Russia.
In view of the great scarcity of oats,
the military authorities of Germany have
already concluded to feed Indian corn to
their army horses. A foothold once OBJ
tanned in Germany for American farm
products, it would be hard for Russia to
supplant them after commercial peace
should have been restored. At the same
time, Russia promises to afford a better
market for agricultural implements and
other manufactured articles of the
United States in consequence of the en-
barge upon the trade of Germany.
But while Germany and Russia shall
be engaged in this warfare upon recip-
rocal commerce, it is important that con-
gress should proceed to the reform of the
tariff with as little delay as possible. BY
speedily removing the duties on all raw
materials of production American manu-
facturers would be put upon an equal
footing with their European rivals, not
only in Russia, but in all the markets Of
the world. When it is considered that
many American manufactures produced
from taxed materials now successfully
compete in foreign markets under condi-
tions of absolute free trade, it is hardly
necessary to insist upon the advantage
of making these materials free. Now is
the time to seize the opportunity pre-
sented by the conflicts of other nations

CARLOADS OF PEARS.
Visit TO a Sample Fruit Farm in
Southern Oregon.

The Medford. (Oregon) Mall thus
describes visit TO typical fruit farm
in Southern Oregon, owned by Joseph
Stewart:
"The farm is located 81 miles south
from Medford. The land is very fer.
tile and seems particularly adapted TO
the culture OF fruit. There are l6C
acres Of land-not large farm would
it be for growing wheat, but an i'm
mense affair when planted entirely to
fruit trees. OF this l60 acres Mr..
Stewart has go acres planted to pears,
1900 OF the trees so planted being OF
the Bartlett variety. and from which
they expect to gather this year from
5000 to 5000 boxes of fruit, each
box weighing 40 pounds, or, In other
words nearly 20 carloads. Just think
OF it! More than an entire trainload
OF Bartlett pears, and all from one
farm. We made drive through the
orchard, and, remarkable as it may
seem, there is not weed in the orchard
the trees are loaded to the utmost ca
pacity, many OF the branches reach
ing to the ground yet bearing their
immense burden without breaking.
The sight which present itself is one
for which descriptive adjectives have
not as yet been coined equal to do the
occasion justice. AS far as the eye
can reach, down long rows of uniform
trees, nothing but large, healthy Bart.
lett pears are seen growing. 1t is a
sigh: worth going miles 70 see. Aside
from this pear orchard are so acres of
late winter apples which are bearing
well and in very healthy condition.
The farm has quite an orchard of
peach trees but with those Mr.. Stew
art is making no special effort. Last
spring he grated prunes into 1900 of
his peach trees, and the result bids fair
to be an exceptionally flattering one,
as nearly all the gratis are growing
well and seem even more thrifty than
do the natural branches. The reason
given for this grating operation is
simply that prunes are more profitable
than peaches and do not crowd so
closely onto his pear harvest, and are
much easier to handle. During the
fruitpicklng and packing time rs or 80
hands are employed in caring for the
fruit, and seven or eight during the
other months. Mr.. Stewart also sup.
plies the Portland market with about
10 tons of rhubarb each year. Aside
from this large home orchard Mr..
Stewart has IS acres planted princi.
pally to apples, joining Mr.. Whit
mans orchard, near Medford.
"The 20 carloads Of pears, spoken
of above, will be shipped to Chicago
and New York markets, the re-
frigerator cars to be used their
transmission. The orchard of which
we have written is only about 7 or
8 years old, which fact proves con.
clusively the great results that can be
accomplishen in fruit raising where
careful attention is given and knowl-
edge of fruit culture is possessed as is
the case with Mr.. Stewart"

A Wisconsin girl would like to
know the measurement for perfect
figure of young lady of 20 years.
Answer: Age, 20; height, 5 feet a

pounds; bust, 324 to 33 inches; waist,
81 to 224 inches; bust over blceps,
al to AZ inches; ankle; g. to II inch
es; shoe size, 81. This is one stand
ard; others give waist measure an
inch or possibly two inches larger, on
the theory chat a strictly perfect
form must not have a compressed
waist. There are however various
authorities, none of which agree.
Some prefer Juno, others Venus, aud
yet others iairy-like creature who
would be of but little value to the
