INDIANS AS CITIZENS.

Judge Stuart Makes an Important Ruling
i'm the Court ut South McAlester.
ARDMoRE, /. T., Oct. Sin ruling
rendered in a case in court at South
McAlester, Judge Stuart says that an
Indian who has taken the oath of ale
glance to the United States becomes in
every sense citizen of that govern
ment without depriving him of any of
the advantages or requirements of In
dian citizenship. An Indian who has
become citizen of the United States
may sue citizens of the same tribe in
the United States court or such citi
ZenS may sue him there the same as
if he were a white man, or he may
sue or be sued in like manner in
the Indian courts. Judge Stuart here
reverses the ruling of his predecessor,
Judge Shackleford, who, in constituting
the law providing for the Indians to
become citizens of the United States,
said it only gave them the additional
protection of the United States in their
dealings with others outside their own
nation. This is one of the most i'm
portant rulings made by Judge Stuart
and will doubtless be the means of in
ducing legal transactions in the United
States which have hitherto been de.

A Question of Ecnnnmx.

Irrespective of the fact that one
wishes to look we'll, there is economy
in having one, or, if possible, two house
gowns. More wear is given to frock
by sitting than by walking in it, and
more bodices lose their shape when
their wearer lolls in an easy chair than,
from her walking five miles in them.
Then, too, the house gown is positive
rest. One casts off with the street
froclx all the worries of the outside
world, and starts in to enjoy the pleas
ures of home. That the influence of
the gown is felt cannot be denied; con-
sequently the wise woman will under
stand why she elects to have dainty,
well fitting house gown in preference
to loose, ill shaped wrapper, for GER
tainly each has an effect, not only upon
the appearance. but upon the mind and
morals of the wearer, and, while the
wrapper has it's special use, it is cer--
tainly not to appear in the drawing
room, or, in fact, outside of ones own
apartment. That the wrapper habit
naturally combines with curl papers
and other untidy ways cannot be de-
MED, and certainly it is one which we
should all make every effort to avoid

Terrible Sight.

BosToN, Oct. "a horrible case OF
electrocution was witnessed by hun.
dreds of people yesterday. Charles E.
Day, lamp trimmer in the employ OF
the Boston Electric Light Co., was
cleaning a lamp and had hitched him
self to the top of the pole when atten-
tion was called to him by faint cry.
Day was then seen to be helpless and
unconscious. In few seconds he was
limp, and blue flame was emitted
from his eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
Two bystanders received severe shocks
in trying to extricate Day from the
wires. A. J. Humes started up. the
pole and touched Days body, when he
received a shock and fell 80 feet to the
ground, fracturing his skull. He died
shortly afterwards. 1t was more than
half an hour before Days body, now
terribly burned, was lowered to the
ground and taken to the morgue.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5.-As special west
bound freight on the Wabash road was
leaving the city last night it crashed
into and demolished car of the Sub

was struck squarely on the front end
and smashed into kindling wood. OF
the passengers in the car six were

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 9.-The forty
second annual session of the Interna-
tional Typographical union opened
here yesterday morning in Odd Eel
lows hall. Mr.. w. Il. Prescott, of In
dianapolis, president of the l. L. T.,
called the convention to order. In his
report the president says that the
membership of the organization has
increased during the past year by over
1,000, exclusive of 1000 German speak

every principal city in the country is
represented in the new chart ters. FL

shape, the general fund continuing
TO accumulate. Despite the prevailing

Railroad Man Killed.

TACOMA, Wash, Oct. S.-A shocking
street car accident occurred about mid
night in which George c. Chandler,
general agent of the Northern Pacific
in this city, was killed and several
other passengers injured. The car
was returning from the interstate
fair grounds and was crowded
with passengers. Mr.. Chandler ard
other gentlemen were standing
on the front platform, behind the
motorman. AS the wheel struck
the crossing of North Second street,
the axle on the front truck broke near
the right wheel. The car left the track,
plunged along at an acute angle to the
right of the rails for rod and then
fell on its left side. Mr.. Chandler, who
was then on the steps, fell underneath
the car. The heavy wood and iron
works struck his face, killing him in
stantly and crushing his head to a
shapeless pulp.

THE INCOME TAX.
The Superintendent Of the Income Ta
Talks on the Subject.

Aaihs On the SUBJECT
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. = Ex-Comlnis-
sioner of Customs Pugh, recently ap-
pointed superintendent of the provis-
iOnal income tax bureau of the reve-
nue. department, had conference with
Secretary Carlisle on the subject of the
income tax. He was directed to make
a thorough investigation as to the best
methods to be followed in collecting
the revenue from this source, to pre-
pare the necessary regulations, draw
up blanks for the returns and all other
technical details, which will have to
be carefully arranged before January
l. Mr.. Pugh said:
An income tax law will always be the SUBJ
iect of controversy in it's application. The
present act is full of technical points and it
will require complicated machinery to collect
the tax. Much difficulty will be experienced
in collecting the revenue from this years in
come Many big corporations may not be in
shape to readily make the returns that will be
required, and 1 apDrehend that we will ex-
perience much confusion from this source.
Then the profit from sales of real estate may
give rise to much trouble. The law pro-
vides that the profits on real estate
purchased within the past two years
comes. Sales may not be recorded promptly,
and other difficulties may be met with in fixing
the dates OF purchases and sales. Nor are
these the only troubles that may arise from the
real estate features of the law. There are
many other fine points on other lines which
will have to be carefully considered.
The preparation of regulations bearing on the
forms in which returns shall be made by indi-
viduals. as well as corporations, will require
much study. The law does not made any pro-
visions as to the form in which returns shall be
made to the internal revenue collectors and
many important details will have to be ar
ranged to insure against fraud and to secure
the prompt collection OF the tax. In regard to
the time in which the returns shall be made TO
the collectors of respective districts the act
states that they shall be made, on or before the
day provided for by law. in such form as may
be directed by the commissioner of internal
revenue.
As the act will affect the income OF every big
company cr corporation in the country. it is
possible that the blank returns cannot be mads
uniform. There are hundreds of details in con-
nectiOn with the collection of this tax. but
hope that before January the work will be in
shape TO enforce the law promptly.

GERMANY AND SUGAR.
Government Officials Somewhat Concerned
About Recent Berlin Dispatches.

Government Officials Somewhat Concerned
About Recent Berlin Dispatches.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The officials of
the state and agricultural departments
are much interested in the reported pur-
pose of Germany, as given in a recent
Berlin cable, to retaliate against the
United States because of the special
discriminating duty imposed on sugar
from export bounty paying countries
by discriminating against our meat and
breadstuffs..
1T will be very unfortunate" said
DIR. Salmon, chief of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, ''as the German markets
have been opened to us after a good
deal of trouble But it has not been
the foreign duties as much as it is the
alleged disease of American meats. cat
tie and hogs, that has kept us out of
their markets. Our inspection service
has resulted in establishing that Amer
lean hogs are free from trichinosis
and our cattle have no trace
of pleuro-pneumonia. That be-
ing established. this country is
able to make large shipments and am
inclined to think we can hold our own
and continue these shipments if the re-
taliation does not consist in charging
our meat products with being dis
eased."
The treasury statistics of our trade
with Germany, which will be affected
by retaliation against American meat
and breadstuffs, show that our sales to
that country last year were as follows:
Cattle, s2s5, ,792; canned beef, 1876, 6,917;
salt and picked beef, Si41, ,4s4; tallow,
500, 500; bacon, S1,O36, 600; hams, Sl46,-
800; fresh pork, S19O,6l1; lard. $685.
$50; oleomargarine. S2,s5O,O0O; butter,
e111,00O; breadstuffs, corn, S., ,339, 400;
wheat, S1,177,OOO; flour, 81, ,2s7 900. In
the aggregate retalatory policy on
the part of Germany would affect about
$40. .OO0, 900 of American trade in meat
products and breadstuffs.

TREASURY SILVER.
Secretary Carlisle Answers Some Inquiries
as to Silver Coinage.

as to Silver Coinage.
WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-Many in
quiries are daily received by Secretary
Carlisle and other officials in the treas
ury department concerning the silver in
the treasury, its purposes and the
amount being coined at the present
time. One of these letters Secretary
Carlisle has answered in detail and has
made his answer public in the hope it
may answer a great many Others He
explains very clearly why it would be
impossible under existing law to
anticipate the profit or seigniorage
accruing from the coinage of bullion
into standard dollars. The secretary
says:
There are now on hand at the mints 1ncoined
silver bullion purchased under the act of July
a. $780, 139, IA fine ounces. costing s25. .509
053. 1t is held for coinage into silver dollars
from time to time as may be required for the
redemption of the treasury notes issued in its
purchase; that is. notes issued under the act
of July IA. 1890, and it is now being coined at
the rate of $4,000 per month. Silver is coined
as rapidly as necessary, and, in fact, 600
coined from the bullion purchased under the
act of July IA, 1890 now held in the treasury.
The return of silver to the treasury for redemp-
tion depends entirely upon the activity OF the
business OF the country, and is sometimes very
frequent and in large amounts AT the present
time. however, very little silver coin is pre-
sented for redemption.
Under the provisions of the statute seignior-
age accrues only on the coinage Of the bullion.
the seigniorage being the difference between
the cost OF the bullion and the coinage value of
same. In the absence Of any specific author
ity from congress to coin separately rhe guam

orage is declared on the coinage OF silver dor
lars and paid into the treasury at the close OF
each month. The seigniorage, il coined, could
be put in circulation only in the same way
that other money gets into circulation
The average cost of the silver purchased un-
der the act referred to was $500 per fine ounce,
and at this rate the cost of the bullion C371.4

THE GEORGIA NEGRO VOTE.
1t Went Almost Wholly for the Populist
Ticket.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. s.-The negro
vote of the state went almost wholly
for the populist ticket in the state cleo
tion. In the campaign of ex-Govs.
Colquitt, McDaniels. Stephens, Gordon
and Northen they held the colored vote
closely. Early in the present campaign,
however, it was published that Col. At
kinson, the democratic nominee, had
personally chastised a 16-year old col
ored girl. He procured an affidavit
from her father saying that the whip
ping was done by his request. All the
same the populists printed big posters
upon which appeared pictures of Atkin-
son in the act of fiaying the girl. These
pictures circulated among the negroes
had a telling effect, and it was in vain
that the democratic workers tried to
them.

The New Rifles Very Effective.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The war de-

which the troops are being armed, re-
ports that up to $50 yards bullet
striking the neck or abdomen means
death. From ego to 1,60O yards, almost

fatal results are certain to be inflicted
Beyond 1.6oO yards the injuries caused
resemble those inflicted by the round
bullets which were in use before 1860.
The new navy rifle. which IS only .23G
inches in calibre, is expected to be
even more deadly in its effects.
