farm and began to make some repairs on
the dwelling house belonging to it, In
doing SO he dug up from under the kitch-

gold and silver. If he did not know ex-

very foolish to tell of his find.

A National Inheritance Tax.

The opposition to the proposed income
tax has led to much speculation as to
the probable popularity of an inheritance
tax. Most men would rather be taxed
after they are dead than when they are
alive. A tax on legacies is very old
idea in Europe. In 1899 Great Britain
obtained over, s53.G00,00o from this
source, while France derived $50, s73, 305.
If we had such a tax in this country, it
would more than make up for the falling
off in customs revenues.
A few Of the Individual states of this
Union have already such tax. The
first one to establish it was Pennsyl-
vania, where the inheritance tax has
been levied ever since 1925. Other states
fell slowly into line until now IA of the
"A levy certain per cent On all large es-
tates that come into possession of heirs.
Most of these are the older eastern
states, but this year Ohio, Nebraska and
Callforl.ia swung into line with their tax
on requests. So also did Maine. New
York passed her inheritance tax law in
1886, Illinois in 1887. The middle south
Elm states take kindly to the idea, Mary
land, Delaware, West Virginia and Ten
nessee having an Inheritance tax. The
other states that have resorted to this
source of revenue are Connecticut, Mas
sachhsetts and New Jersey. To the eye
of ssJersey justice" therefore. tax on
dead men is quite the correct thing. The
living heirs cannot grumble, since they
have never been in the enjoyment of the
property which is thus levied on for the
expenses of the government under which
it was accumulated.
For this year the amount Of revenue to
New York state from this source will be
over $4,000 600. Three-quarters of mil
lion Of this comes, tits said, from the es.
tate Of Jay Gould alone Two-thirds of
the inheritance tax in New York comes
from the city and county Of New York.
| One Of the abuses connected with this
tax in New York county was formerly
the enormous amount of fees that &C
crued to the comptroller for its collec-
ton. This reached in some cases $$8O, 900
year. At that rate it was better to be
comptroller than to be president
If "a national Inheritance tax were
levied, there would doubtless be at first
some confusion and grumblipg about the
two taxes, state and national, in the
states that have anticipated the national
move in this direction. ~.>

Grewsome Crime of Crazy Russi

A shocking tragedy of a most remark

Ivan Klalxwitz, a customs officer of highly
respectable connection, became convinced
that his wife was in league with a neigh

was pending against him. There was an
parently no justification for the charge.
The lawsuit was tried IN the local courts
last week, and Klakwitz lost'his case. He
addressed the Judge in an excited manner.
and after making a rambling statement
implica ting. his wife in an intrigue against
him, he leftthe court room.
Later In the day, however, he protested
regret to his wife for his baseless insinua-
lions and hasty temper, and asked his
neighbor'and his wife to dine with him en-

He had scarcely spoken these words

the exception OF the servant girl and the
youngest daughter-the latter living,
however, only long enough to tell exactly
what had happened. The servant died
within two hours.

victims of this insane frolic were simply
blown to pieces, and the walls Of the
room in which they were sitting were
partly blown out. The explosion was
heard for half a mile.

THE INTERNATIONAL FIGHT.
Turner, OF Georgia, Looming Up as a
Strong Candidate.


Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 2s.-There are strong
indications here that Judge Turner, who
has represented the Eleventh Georgia
district in congress for twenty years, and
is one of the strongest members from the
south, will figure in the next guberna-
torial race. Judge Turner is not can
didate, but he has hosts of friends
throughout the state, and there are in
fluences which will. il is believed, make
him strong figure in, that race-ttr
AS it stands, the two tavowed candi-
dates are Gen. Evans and Speaker Atkin-
son, both pronounced Observation-Disclosures
men. Atkinson, who was candidate for
the Berlin consulate, has developed into
the most rahid anti Cleveland man in the
state, and Gen. Evans is endeavoring to
vie with him on that. line. Neither can
be said to have any strong personal fol-
lowing, though Evans has the old soldier
element and the Methodist ministers, one
of whom be is. strongly committed to his
support, as against Atkinson. Now the
administration is sJrong in Georgia, and a
man of Turner's prominence and ability,
backed by the administration, would, it
is believed, win in the three-cornered con-
test. gc
Judge Turner has been averse to 60
ing into this contest, as he has his eyes
set on the chair now occupied by Senator
Colquitt. His friends, knowing, this.
argue that to secure an election to the
gubernational chair will insure his cleo
tion to the Senate. They say that his
long service at Washington has naturally
kept him out of touch with the active
politicians of the younger school,, and
that he will have little chance to succeed
Colquitt unless he does make some such
move as the one they suggest. They be-
lieve he would have practically walk
over as against Evans and Atkinson. but
point out that he must fight such men as
Colquitt, Northen, Bacon, duBignon,
Hoke Smith, aud perhaps Crisp In the
senatorial race. 1t is said tonight that
letter was received from Washington yes
terday which says that Judge Turner has
taken the matter under consideration,
and, while che may not formally go into
the race, will let his friends go ahead
and work for him, which is all they ask.
