WASHINGTON, Nov, E-AssOciate Jus.
tiee White Of the supreme court. and
Mrs Linden Kent sister-in-law a.
Henry 7. Kent, of St Louis were
married in New York yesterday.
When Associate Justice White, Of the
United States supreme court, left the
city for New York on Saturday he did
it so quietly and unosteutatiously
that but few persons knew that he
had gone away and those who
were aware of ms departure never
sUrmissd the surprise he had N store
for them. At II o'clock yesterday
morning he was married to Mrs. Lin
den Kent, to whom he has been en-
gagged Tor some time, The wedding
occurred at the Church of St Francis
Xavier, one OF the SWEETEST congrs-
cations in the metropolis
The marriage is the elimination of
an attachment formed years ago, when
both the justice and his bride were
quite young. At that time he was a
newly admitted baFrister, and she
was q society girl of high standing.
For some reason the match was bro
ken off and she welded After years
of separation they again drifted to-
getheF and the affection that had
been smouldering, ripened for a sec
ond time into flame of love, and the
wedding is the natural consequence,
Justice White recently purchased a
home in this city and fitted it up in
magnificent style, and will take up
his residence there on his return.

THE INCOME TAX Law.
Preparations Being Made TO Carry n
Into Eject


WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 The work pre-
liminary to carrying into effect the
new income tax law is going forward
as rapidly as its nature will permit,
under the direction Of Mr.. Willism
E. Pugh, who, in October last, was
appointed superintendent of the In
come tax.
a number of complicated and inter
esting questions have arisen under
former laws and anticipating that
questions will arise in the future of
equal Importance, it is essential for
their solution to understand what mas
been the former legislation Of cons
gress, the decisions of the courts
and the rulings of the depart
ment upon the subject of the
income tax With this View Mr.
Pugh has been occupied since
his appointment in examining and
preparing digest Of court decisions
and department rulings under their
respective headings He has also
prepared a comparison Of all the
former laws upon the income tax, ar
ranged so that sll the provisions
heretofore made upon the subject
shall appear properly grouped and
any one at glance can see the varl-
GUS changes and notifications that
have taken place.
There have been several acts upon
the subject Of income tax. The Arst
was passed August 5, 1891 Under
this act, however, nothing was do ne.
The act failed to provide any pro-
visions contained in the subsequent
legislation, both as to the subjects of
taxation and the methods of
collection. These vera provided
for in subsequent acts.
The second act was passe d
July 1, 1852; the third act, June 80,
1864; the fourth act, March 8, 1885; the
fifth act March 2, 1857, Under the
drst act, $500 was the amount re-
served from taxation and the rate Of
tax was FIVE per cent on sIl sums over
that amount. Under the act Of July
1, 1862, the amount reserved from tax
was as follows:
If the income exceeded $500 and did
not exceed $4,000 a duty Of per
centum on the amount above $500; if
said income exceed $40. 900 duty Of
5 per centum upon the amount ex-
ceeding $500. Under the third act
5000 was exempted and the duty per
centum, on the excess; under the
fourth and fifth acts, 81, 200 was free
from taxation and the amount of tax
was per cent on the amount in ex.
cess of that sum.

speaking, routed through that point to

via the Northern Pacific and Burling-

between Lincoln, Omaha, Kansas City.
St. Louis and the territory south and

all the way from so to 473 miles. It
thus becomes an important fsctor in
bringing the vast scope of country
served by the Northern Pacific into
closer relationship with the Missouri
and Mississippi Valleys
Just to illustrate things; The New
Short Line saves
294 miles between Lincoln OF Omaha

The amounts which the packers

Silas Lewis, the condemned Choctaw
murderer, was shot at Wilburton at
10 o'clock yesterday morning, Lewis
lived thirty minutes after being shot
and had to be stFangeled to end his
suferings. 1t IS claimed that Lewis
friends are determined to avenge his
death and say the eight other con.
demned Choctsws, who were granted
new trial, shall not be brought to
trial, but must go free or be taken
over their dead bodies. There is 3
very bitter feeling against Governor
Gardner for vetoing the amnesty bill
and serious trouble is feared.
Lewis was one of seven who were
tried jointly one year ago and all con-
yicted and sentenced to death, but
the government interfered and
stopped the execution. During the
political troubles of 1892 between the
Jones and Jackson parties, and right

Jackson was defeated by what his

by Lewis and others. It had been de-
termined to assassinate the leading
