cIuHm2raIy official seventy dollars a
month, but the council at its meeting
Tuesday evening declared that he
ought to have one hundred dollars per
month, and 80 voted that sum to him.

Corporation Tax Law.
WASHINGTON, May lt.-rho case OF

Solida!ed. Tho officers filed articles OF

Office OF tho secretary OF tho state tom
dering 500. which would have boon
the tax on the Ohio branch OF tho cor.
poration, but the secretary compelled
the payment OF 1900, q tax on all
tho branches Of tho consolidated corpor.
aiiou. This the company contonded was
q state tax on a corporation outside OF
the state.
The court held that the right OF a
company to DO a consolidated corpora.

that tho railroad in profTering tho arti-
clcs Of corporation and tax voluntarily
placed itself within the Jurisdiction OF

as other foul and unnatural crimes

ders are susceptible OF proof. Others

Decker killed his drs! wife and child in

hands, and burying their bodies on the
top OF a high ridge. Their discovery o
short time ago crystallized tho belief
prevalent for some time hat he was
guilty Of many atrocities and led to his
arrest. His various relatives were killed
because they stood in tho way OF graft
Tying his desires or know OF his crimes.
