THE oouLD's PROTEST.

Taxes Paid on $40. 900. 600 Of Personal
Property May Leave New York.
NEW York. Dec. "A check for
Sls2. 600 paid into the Office of the re-
ceiver of taxes by the trustees
of the estate of jay Gould
represented the amount of tax as
sesscd for the year 1898 upon the per-
sonal estate of the late jay Gould
for $40, 900, 900 by the department of
taxes and assessments OF the city.
Accompanying the check was docu-
mcnt giving notice that the money
was paid under protest, for the pur-
pose Of reserving to the trustees of the
Gould estate their standing in court
under the ccrtiorari proceedings
which they began ia July to review
the action of tho tax commissioners,
who fixed the assessment at $40, 900, 900
in spite of the numerous and vehem-
eut objections of George j. Gould and
his lawyers.
The payment is interesting just now,
in view of the recent frequent rumors
that the trustees of the estate, the
children of Jay Gould, have been
threatening To remove their legal
domicilc and their personal property
beyond the taxing power of the New
York tax commissioners.

CLEARED THE DOCKET
49,. .----
JUDGE DALE'S RATTLlNo GOOD
WORK AT SALTWATER
OYER TWO HUNDRED CASES SETTLED,
Something About the Business of the
Payne County District Court-rwo
weIi-shaped Juties which saved
Money Tor the Tax Payers.

Judge Dale and Deputy Clerk Adams
returned from saltwater Sunday, hav.
ing completed the work of the district
court of Payne county
Court was in session there three
weeks, and In that time the docket
was cleared Of every case that could
bc got ready for trial of the cases
disposed of there were nearly l50
civil, ffty.three United states crimi-
nal and a half dozen territorial Grim
inal cases, leaving less than dozen
civil cases and about the same number
of criminal trials on the docket
A large number of the civil cases
had been on the docket for two or
three years, the litigants coming to
court at each sitting with their wit
nesses and returning home disap-
pointed at the trials being continued.
and much praise is given to the judge
for his prompt and thorough disposal
of the business.
The Judge was assisted in his work
by versatile clerk and an excellent
trial jury. The jury was composed
principally of farmers-men above the
average in intelligence who rendered
their verdicts promptly, in no instance
failing to find verdict according to
the evidence given on the trial
Another feature OF Judge Dale's
term that was gratifying to the tax
payers of Payne connty was the work
of the grand jury. 1T was in session
hut three days as territorial grand
Jury, yet transacted more actual busi
ness than previous juries in session
that many weeks. Such saving IL
court expenses is very noticeable to
the people of rayne county, who art
gladly giving the credit that is due.
The Judge went to Wichita yester
day for n short visit and will return II
time to open court in Perry next Mon
day. where large docket is waiting
| for him Clerk Adams will go To Perry
Wednesday to open new books
The Payne county people speal
highly of the work of Justice Dale an'
genial deputy district clerk Adams.

Three Men Hold Up the station Agent

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Dec. About
o'clock last evening three men en-
tered the Chicago and Northwestern
depot at Luzerne, little town thirty
miles west of here, and at the point
of revolvers commanded j. c. Thomp-
son, the agent, to deliver what money
he had. He quickly gave up the ex-
press and railroad money, when the
bandits opened the door of the freight
room and pushed him in, telling him
not TO ma sc any noise, and that If he
attempted to escape he would be shot.
In few minutes the night op .rator
came down to relieve the day man,
and the robbers went through his
pockets and pushed him also into the
freight room.
After a few minutes more of wait

bers had hardly time to dispose of him

largest of the highwaymen, and his

of Dec. A sizes up the Wan Allen
appointment and resignation after
Ghis manner:
80. j Van Allen has resigned his
appointment az Ambassador to
Italy.
In his letter CT resignation he
protests his innocence of any pur-
pose to purchase off &c with money
contributions to- a campaign fund.
But ne also fully recognizes the inn
proprety of acceptance in view of
the fast that tie men who speak
for the character and conscience of
the Democratic party have unani
mously and very earnestly condemn
81 the appointment as one uamls
1akably made in recognition of
money service, and one, therefore,
demoraliziug and dangerous.

tests very decent elfrespact by
bowing respectfully to public opin-
ION.
"Not so with President Cleve-
land. In his reply to Mr. Van
Allen he permits himself to spe *
contemptuously of public opinion
So malignant criticism and as
noise and clamor.' He knows per
teotly that the protests which he
