The Income Tax.

1t is estimated that not more than
$1,000 persons will be subject to this
tax, so a great many citizens will not
have to make returns.
Provision is also made by which no
information can be made public as to
the details of the income reported by
citizens. If such details become pub
lie it might injure the credit of firm
or individual For that reason any
public or private person who divulges
any part of this information concern
ing incomes is made subject to crimi-
nal prosecution, with heavy fine and
penalty.
Particular provision is made for the
collection of the income tax due on
salaries, not only official salaries, but
the salaries of individuals received
from business firms, corporations, etc.
The individual receiving the salary
does not pay the tax, but it is made
the duty of every government, State,
county and municipal disbursing Off
Ger to retain per cent. of all salaries
over taxable amount. This per cent
is to be taken out of the salaries in
bulk at the last payment of salaries
for the year. The tax upon corpora
tions includes every phase of corpora
ton stock. This tax is general, and is
without the $4,000 exemption allowed
to individual incomes.

REPLACING THE BUTCHERS.
Omaha Packing Houses Are Drawing

Omaha Packing Houses Are Drawing
on Chicago and Lincoln for New Men.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 6.-Word was
received in Omaha this morning that
the South Omaha packers had recruit
ed large force of men at Lincoln to
take the place of the striking butchers
and labOrers, and that they will leave
Lincoln on special train this after
noon. The South Omaha strikers have
been notified and trouble is expected
when the new men arrive.
Twenty-Five butchers from Chicago
arrived this morning to take the
places of the strikers. They have
been promised regular work.
Fifty girls in Cudahy's canning
house quit this morning.
Shipments from the packing houses
have fallen off one-half in consequence
of the strike, but packers are plan
ming to start up in full next week,
and are sending word to stockmen TO
commence shipments then.
Cudahy and his striking butchers
had a meeting at o'clock this after
noon. Cudahy raised the point that
as he has no beef butchers in Chicago
his house here cannot be involved in
an alleged Chicago quarrel.
The executive committee of the
strikers held meeting to-day and the
members gave it out that word had
been received from St Louis and
Kansas City that the men there were
ready to go out at a moments notice
This news came from the committee
sent by the Omaha men to report on
the situation in those cities.
Six hundred men were taken into
the federated union of packing house
employees. Chairman Martin Of the
strikers committee was removed be-
cause he is not employed now in a
packing house, but is running a sa-
loon, the strikers claiming it was
hurting their cause to have a saloon
keeper at the head of the committee.

off greatly this year, and this in con-
nection with the failure of several
customers caused the assignment.
The outstanding accounts due the
firm amount to $4,000.
Quincy, Mass, Aug. John E.

UNCLE SAM NEUTRAL.
The United States VIII Protect Its Com

The United States VIII Protect Its Com
merce and Subjects in Corea.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Ga strong de-
NAL is entered at the state depart
ment OF the published story that the
United States has or will enter into
treaty with European powers to
forcibly occupy and keep open the
treaty ports of China. 1t is also de-
MED that any overtures to that end
have come to us from other countries.
When the conditions were such that
war was only threatened the United
States did use its good offices to avert
the evil. 1t did so to carry out a SOL
emn obligation imposed upon us by
the treaty with Corea, whereby we
bound ourselves to protect Corea in
the following terms: IF other pow
ers deal unjustly or oppressively
with either government the other will
exert their good offices on being in
formed of the case to bring about an
amicable arrangement, thus showing
their friendly feelings" This obliga-
ton was entered into in 1882, and it
was under its terms that the president
indicated to Japan that he would be
panied should she infict an unjust'war
upon COrea. That was as far as the
United States could go in the interest
of our good offices, and besides, the
shifting of the war cloud from Corea
to China relieved US from the necessity
of further action.
1t is said at the state department
the attitude of the United States to-
ward the belligerentS in the present
war will be patterned upon our course
at Rio We will side with neither
China nor Japan, but as was indicated
by Mr.. Bayard, our ambassador to
Great Britain, who is fully aware of
what is going on, the attitude of the
United. States will be one of
benevolent neutrality" This is
in keeping with our traditions
and its prudence and safety has
been amply demonstrated in the past.
As fa- as our own commerce is con-
cerned we will accord it such measure
of protection and immunity from in
reference as may be justly claimed
as our rights, but the present DISPOSE

FIGHT WITH BANDITS.
Two More Members Of the Cook Gang
Killed.


SAPULPA, Ok, Aug. 4.-The notori-
Gus Cook gang were surrounded in
the house of Bill Province, fourteen
miles west of here, yesterday morn
ing by United States marShals and
desperate battle ensued, which re-
suited in the capture of Add Berry
hill and the killing of Lon Gordon
and Henry Munson of the gang, the
three remaining of the desperadOes
making their escape. One of the
marshals was shot in the fight and
severely wounded. About 200 shots
were fired. The marshals are in hot
pursuit of the gang and expect to re-
port their capture in few hours.
On July IS this gang held up the
Frisco train at Red Fork, Ind. Ter,
also the agent of the same place. The
booty secured on that occasion was
small, owing to the presence of mind
Of Chapman, the express messenger,
who threw the money behind some
boxes, the robbers failing to find it.
Chapman is a brother of the messenger
who was killed at Mound Valley,
Kan, last fall in resisting the efforts
of bandits to rob the train.
On July 81 this gang robbed the
bank at Chandler, Ok, and escaped
by killing one man and wOunding
others In the fight Elmer Lucas, one
Of the gang, was shot and captured,
and is now in Jail. The remaining
three are Bill Cook, Cherokee Bill and
Sherman Balling.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-The following
special cablegram has been received
by the Chicago Herald:
TROMsoE, Aug. 3. - Captain Emil
Peterson, Engineer L. WilShip, H.

one sailor of the Chicago Herald polar
expedition, which left this port on
May l on the steamship Ragnvald-
Jarl, under command of Walter Well

They bring information of the loss of
the Ragnvald-Jarl on May "a. Soon
after leaving Danes island the boat
encountered great field of pack ice,
and despite every effort to escape,
the vessel was hemmed in and crushed
to pieces.
The crew had time to transfer the
greater portion of their provisions,
scientific instruments, dogs and
aluminium boats to the ice before the
boat was destroyed. The men who
have arrived here left the party
after tn accident, but Commander
Wellr' d the balance of the party,

CESARIo ON TRIAL
The Court Cader Strong Guard-The
Trial Viii Last Ten DAYS.

Lyons, Aug. 3.-Cesario Santo, the
assassin of President Carnot was put
on trial in the assize court to-day.
His removal FROM the st. Paul prison
to the court was without incident.
NJ. Breuillac, who presides over the
court, is the judge who drew much
criticism upon himself oy condemning
the bill for the suppression of an
archistic crime. which was recently
passed by the chambers. Addressing
the jury at the opening of the assize
July %, NJ. Breullac used the follow
ing words: while the chamber OF
deputies. acting upon the proposals
from the government. is endeavoring
to relegate to the common law courts
certain crimes which you were occa-
sionally privileged to be called upon
to try, we, in this court, by the aid Of
twelve honest and free citizens sum-
moned from the bosom of the nation,
will punish the murderer of yesterday
and endeavor, according to the meas
ure of our power, to prevent the peril
of tomorrow"
The palace of justice was to-day
guarded in the most thorough manner
against possible ebullitions of anarch-
ism. The regular police guards were
enforced by an entire battalion of in
fantry and the vicinity of the court
had in consequence very much of the
appearance of military cantonment.
Soldiers were stationed upon all ap-
proaches, while a double Gordon Of
troops surrounded the building itself.
The trial is expected to occupy the
whole of this and part of next week.
There will be no long speeches, the
public prosecutor combining himself to
forty minute address. Some people
who should have come forward will
not appear, doubtless fearing reprisals,
but twenty-eight indispensable wit
nesses have been called by the
government and they include
all those who remembered hav-
ing spoken to Cesario as he
was journeying from Crette to
Lyons; the owner of the lime kiln
where Cesario worked in 1898; the
baker who employed him at Cette;
General Borias, the chief Of the late
presidents military household; NJ.
Rivaud, project of the department Of
the Rhone; the two men servants who
sat on the rumble of the late presi-
dents carriage and DIR. Gailleton, the
mayor of Lyons, who rode in the car
riage with NJ. Carnot when Cesario
struck the deadly blow.

PACKING HOUSES CLOSED.
A Complete Shut Down In Omahs-The
Strike situation Unchanged.


OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 3.-All the pack
ing houses in South Omaha were
forced to close to-day by the strike of
the cattle and hog butchers. Over
10000 head Of hogs were received at
the yards to-day, but packing house
men instructed their buyers not to
buy at any figure. The only trading
done was by shippers. Little effort
was made toward settlement of the
strike and the situation is practically
unchanged.
Cudahy killed !. 900 hogs and 200 cat
tie to-day at South Omaha, and Ham
mond will try to kill like number.
The Omaha house is not killing to-
day. Swift will slaughter $50 cattle,
but no hogs. The sheriff and several
deputies are on guard.
The cattle receipts were small, but
the packers have sent out word that
they will be able to handle all cattle
tomorrow. They are putting in cots
to house new or non-union men.
The managers of the Hammond,
Swift, Cudahy and Omaha houses this
afternoon informed the men that if
they did not return to work by Mon
day the houses would be opened with
q full set of new men and that none
OF the strikers would be re-employed.

Quietly inquiring, she found that the
girl, Alice Weynd, of Holdredge, Neb.,
was nearly famished, having eaten
nothing for a number Of hours. The
Holdredge officials had put her on the

supposed to be weak minded. Miss

LINCOLN INSTITUTE FIRE.
As Soon as the Insurance Is Adjusted Re-
building viii BE Considered.

Dulldlng wall lie Considered.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Aug. 4.-The
main building of Lincoln institute,
which was struck by lightning and to-
tally destroyed at an early hour yes
terday morning, was erected in 1870
at cost of 5000, and since that
time the state has spent about SO, 900
on it in Improvements. 1t is insured
in different companies to the extent of
$4,000. The contents, however, con.
sisting of an extensive library, a
chemical labratory, school furniture
and apparatus, is a total loss. Many
of the books were the property of
students away for the summer vaca-
ton.
As soon as settlement of the in
surance is made, President J. W.
Henry of the board of regents will
call meeting of the board. There
is a question as to whether or not the
board has the authority to rebuild
until the legislature authorizes it,
but this will be determined at the
meeting and if it can do so the board
will at once proceed to construct an
other building.
The school will open as usual in
September and will be continued
without interruption as room can be
made in the other buildings for all
the classes.
