A VICTORY Foa WESTERN BEEF.
The County Tax of $500 Declared
Not Applicable.

ATLANTA. GA, March 23.-In the city
court before Judge Van Epps. to-day, the
cases of the Armour Packing Company,
Nelson Morris & Co. and the Western Beef
Company against Tax Collector A. P. Stew
art, to recover money paid for taxes in 1891
and 1892 were decided IN favor of the
plaintiffs. The decision is an important
one. The legislature imposed tax of $500
for each county in which the packing
houses did a cold storage business.
These companies were transacting business in
Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Savannah and
brunswick, and paid the taxes under pro-
test bringing suit to recover their money.
The evidence was submitted, aud Judge
Van Epps instructed the jury to bring 10 a
verdict for the plaintiffs for 81 DAB In each
case, the full amount Of the tax and the costs
Of cour'. He held that the act was cousti-
tutional, but these houses did no cold stor
age business. That was a business where
articles were stored in ice chests for hire.
This was not done by these houses, which
simply did a packing house business. The
cases will be carried to the supreme court
by the state

by being poured down. Johann
Hoff's envious rivals may inhu-
ence one solitary patient against
his Malt Extract, but SO per cent.
are in his favor. In point of fact
Johann Hoff's Malt Extract is the
only reliable preparation of its
kind, and has won for itself not
only hosts of admirers, but shoals
of reinstated invalids. All over
the world Johann Hoff's Malt Ex-
tract has been recommended by
the medical profession as some
thing which the most inexperi-
enCed invalid may take not only
without danger, but with positive
benefit. We say all this not be-
cause it is altogether necessary,
but because unsuccessful imi-
tators are trying with might and
main to supplant the excellence
of Johann Hoff's Malt Extract by
their unsuccessful limitations, and
an unsuspicious and too confding
public must needs be on their
guard. A fac-simile of Johann
Hoff's autograph is on the neck

Ancient wonders In the East.

Nineveh was fourteen miles long and
eight miles wide. the whole city SUI.
rounded by a wall 100 feet high, SO
thick as to furnish ample room for
three chariots to be driven abreast
around the top. Babylon was fifty
miles within the walls, which were
seventy-tive feet thick and Of the
same height as those of Nineveh. This
monster wall had twelve openings, or
gates, which were closed by enormous
brass shutters every evening Mt sun
down. The temple Of Diana at Ephe-
sus, which was about an even hundred
years in building, was 45o feet to the
first support of tho roof. The largest
of the pyramids was originally 4sl feet
high and 1853 on the sides, the base
covering eleven acres. The stones,
which arc 208 layers, average sixty
feet In length. One account says that
$50, 600 men worked. for twenty years
in fashioning the Titanic pile. The
famous Labyrinth Of Egypt" contain
ed 500 rooms or chambers and twelve
halls. Thebes, Egypt. at the present
time, presents ruins t%wenty-miles in
circumference. The remains, Of many
of the buildings, such as columns,
arches, and etc, are Of such gigantic
size that, according to tile St. Louis
Republic, flo known modern machinery
would be equal to the task of taking
them down, to say nothing Of putting
them IN their present position.
