Clerical Activity.


Last Monday and Tuesday very sue
cessful district meeting was held by the
clergy of the Wyoming conference of
the Methodist Episcopal churches. The
meetings were opened by an address
from Rev. H. c. Hillar, who spoke on
Thought in its Relation to Christian
Profession" The address Of Rev. DR..
Webb was very attentively listened to.
He spoke on the question, Does Re-
cent Scientific Research Require a Re-
statement of Religious Truths?" The
learned doctor could not compress his
thoughts within the thirty minutes
limit, and the meeting voted him all
the time he needed. He spoke for nearly
one hour and half, and held the closest
attention. The able essayist held the
position that scientists had not yet
agreed in stating what they believed,
and until they were united it would be
time enough to ask the church to make
a restatement Of religious truth.
Next Monday and Tuesday the mid
year examination of the Wyoming con-
ference will take place at Susquehanna.
Rev. l.. G. Floyd, ID. d., and Rev. A. w.
Cooper will leave for the above place

Main Avenue Baptist church, spoke

Mr.. Watkins visited the scenes and was

both disasters, and drew from them
profitable lessons. The talk was listened
to by large audience, who highly ap-
preciated the efforts of the pastor.

Chose Strong Candidates.

The democrats of the Tenth con-
gressional district and of the Thirty
third senatorial district are to be
Congratulated on the wisdom and
strength of the nominations made by
the respective conventions held in
Rock Island yesterday.
Mr.. Olson, the nominee for con-
gress, is one Of the foremost as well
as representative Swedish citizens of
the state. By native ability, Unborn
energy and indomitable will, he
has earned position of prominence
among the Swedish people Of Amer
lea and among the people of all
| classes in the state of Illinois. which
has been his home since youth. He
is in every sense a self-made man. is
a student of tariff reform and the
| other doctrines of the true democ-
racy, and he will make an aggressive
and intelligent campaign. combining
the force of logic with his character
istic determination and energy. and
republicans will find that they will
not have the snap they have counted
on in the Tenth district this year.
As matter of fact, Mr.. Olson will
go into the fight with the intention
of winning, and with his immense
following and his superior intellect
as contrasted with that of the repub
lican nominee, his friends predict
his election by majority that vii
strike terror to the Post on the otheI
side.

Frank Adams, river man, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon while try
ing to sell pair of new trousers. 1t
was thought that they had been sto-
len some place, which afterwards
proved to be the case. as they were
identified by Eli Mosenfelder as the
property of NJ. & X. Willis Davis,
another river man, was arrested on
suspicion of being an acces sorry to the
crime.

fore Magistrate Schroeder this morn
ing and their case was postponed I'M

tory last fall, where he had spent a
year or so for similar offense, and

a straightforward manner. He is
only about II years old, and is pos
sessed of mania for stealing. Yes

and Seventh avenue, and while the
proprietor was in the barn hitching

THE INCOME TAX.
The Provisions for Collecting it Under the
New Law.

The Provisions for Collecting 1t Under the
New Law.
The income tax provisions of the
new law adopted by the recent con-
gress does not go into effect until
Jan. next. On that day every per-
son having an income exceeding S.
500 per year must make return to
the collector in the district in which
he lives OF the exact amount of his
income of the year before. The tax
itself is not due until the first day of
the following July, although it may
be paid at any time after Jan. /.
After the return made by the tax
payers is received it is sent by the
collector to the internal revenue bu-
reau at Washington, where the as
sessment OF per cent is made.
Every person who gathers in more
than $500 per year must send in a
statement of his earnings to the col
lector, but it is only those whose in
comes are $4,000 or over that are
taxed. If the collector has reason to
believe that the statements of earn
ings sent in by the taxpayer is too
low he can investigate, and if he sees
good reason for such action he can
raise the amount to what he believes
| to be correct. The taxpayer can ap-
peal TO the commissioners of internal
revenue at Washington, who will or
der that testimony be taken. and the
government has the right to present
evidence in rebuttal. The tax falls
upon all officers of the government
as well as the officers of the army and
navy who earn more than 81 1000
Stale, county and municipal officers
are the only individuals exempted.
The bill leaves many things in con-
nection with the collection of the
tax to be settled by the internal rev.
enue department, but in general
way the tax will be collected in the
same manner that all internal reve-
nue. taxes are collected. The per-
sons who are subject to the tax will
be classed as special taxpayers, along
with the manufacturers of olcomar-
garine, tobacco and liquors. who pay
special taxes now. The law is Sc
we're and contains provisions which
will make it very uncomforta-
bic for those who neglect to pay OF
refuse to comply with it.
If taxpayer fails to make his re-
/ turn on Jan. l of each year he is liza
BILE to penalty of so per cent. If
he neglects or refuses to pay after
the tax becomes due on July he is
assessed per cent additional as pen
atty, with interest at l per cent per
month until the tax is paid. When
the tax is overdue, n notice is sent to
the taxpayer, and if it is not obeyed.
asiistraint warrant is issued, and any
property of the taxpayer can be
seized by the government.
Ii the return of the taxpayer as to
the amount of his income is found
too small, penalty of SO per cent
can be added.
If it is found that the return is
wilfully fraudulent and made with
the intention of evading the tax, the
penalty is 100 per cent.
The taxpayer can also be prose.
cuted criminally for making false
return, so it will not be easy for any
one to evade payment.

ANOTHER ANONYMOUS SCReED.

The Gauntlet is out again. 1t is bitter
against statehood and finds fault with
about everything in sight except the
New MExICAN's report of the loss and
discovery of little Jack Downing, which
it characterizes as the FINEST piece of re.
portorial work ever done in New Mex
ico." On the whole, The Gauntlet this
trip reads like IN edition of Newman's
old '34." However, its utterances, even
giving them credit for sincerity, can
never have weight with the public as long
as the sheet itself sails under false date
line; lives lie, with no one back of il
having nerve enough to stand as its
sponsor. And as for it's very many woes
why
There is very little trouble
That happens us to-day.
Its the sorrow of tomorrow
That drives our joysaWay.
I'VE sometimes sit and wonder
And stew and foam and fret
For fear something may happen
But it hasn't happened yet.
There was once a lonely woman
Who cried down by the sea-
What if my pretty children.
All should persisted be!
Nov this particular woman
Who thus did fume and fret,
Is still maiden lady,
So it hasn't happened yet

TWELVE HOURS SAVED BETWEEN COLORADO
AND NEW YORK CITY.
The Missouri Pacific railway on April
20, 1894, placed in effect new schedule
for its "Fast Mail" train between Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, and Kansas
City and st. Louis; leaving Denver at 300
p. M, Colorado Springs at 5:25 p. m,
and Pueblo at TOO p. M, and arriving at
Kansas City at 5:45 p. M, st. Louis at
6:55 a. M, and Chicago at 500 a. m, with
a direct connection over all trunk lines
for New York City, Boston, Philadelphia
and Washington, D. c., and all inter
mediate points.
This will en- alb passengers from Colo.
RADIO interior points to make a direct
connection with the Missouri Pacific "Fast
Mail" at Pueblo, by taking D. & R. g..
train No. 4, thereby saving twelve hours
time on the eastbound trip, and enabling
them to avoid disagreeable lay-over
