JOHN WATTS DEAD.


Wednesday a lis home in Holland
township, John i,'atts, one Of Dickin-
son county's Of settlers and leading
farmers, died o.apoplexy, by which he
was stricken week or ten days ago.
Mr.. Watts was one OF the best known
farmers in southwest Dickinson and
indeed had friends all over the county,
lie was Of English parenlage and was
born in England Oct. q, 1888, thus
being 81 years Of age. He was raised
and educated in his native country
and engaged in farming there until
1862 when he came to America. He
settled first in Tompklns county, New
York. where hc was a farmer. In 1871
he came to Kansas purchasing two
sections Of land in Holland township
and began building up home on The
prairies. He was married in New
York to Miss Thirza Mortimer, a ma
tive Of Yorkshire, England.
Mr.. Watts has been frequently hon
ored by his friends and neighbors with
positions OF trust and confidence. For
many years ho was township trustee
and he had the respect Of all who
knew him. The old time residents OF
the county are one by one falling by
the waysde, entering the rest beyond
and the time will soon be here when
OF the old settlers none will DO left.
The funeral services were held
Friday at 2 p. m. ut Mt. Pleasant

II Is the Purpose of the Treasury Depart
ment to So Construe the Tarin Law
That Unnecessary Obstruction and
Hardship TO Importers MAY be Avoided.
WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-Sccretary Car
Isle yesterday afternoon issued an ofii :
cial circular regarding the marking,
etc. Of goods under section 5 Of the
new tariff law. in regard To which
much uncertainty of construction has
existed. After quoting the section in
extcnso, the secretary says:
This section differs from Section y
of the act Of October I. 1890 mckinley
law, in requiring statement of the
quantity Of contents and in withhold
ing delivery Of goods until they shall
be duly marked. etc.
''ln order to afford a reasonable time
for compliance with the above section,
the statement Of quantities. only upon
merchandise shipped from abroad after
August %. 1894.
The department holds that the in
this section need not necessarily be re-
stricted To the declaration Of the name
of such country. but may be- accepted
under whatever form. provided the
goods contain unmistalxa BILE evidence
Of their origin. without misleading
marks or signs.
1T is further held that the require
ment in respect Ia quantity OF contents
applies only To packages. and not to
separate articles. To interpret the Sec
tion otherwise would involve the meas
urement of every spool of cotton and
the gauging of every bottle of wine.
II may be inferred that the purpose of
this enactment was the protection of
the consumer from loss through fraud
ulent overstatement of the numbers or
quantities of articles contained in many
imported packages offered for sale.
Certain classes of goods are respcc-
lively put up in packages of recognized
and uniform quantities. a mere in
spection Of such packages will suffice
70 determine the fact of their con
formty or noncomformity. as the ease
may be. with the established practice
of the trade. II the former condition
is manifest. no further indication of
the quantity Of the contents is needed
As. for example. ordinary bags of
coffee and barrels Of flour have regu
lar sizes and capacities. and do not re-
quire explicit statements in order 10
indicate the quantity of contents.
1T is the purpose of the depart
ment so To construe the section. that
without an evasion of its provisions.
unnecessary obstruction and hardship
10 importers may be avoided.

tions arising under the administration
