BungIing Legislation.

Bismarck, y. d., special: The state of
North Dakota is likely to be without any
return from taxes upon railroads from
present appearances. The constitution
provides for regular taxation in case the
gross earnings system was not adopted.
That system has been practically IN vogue
and was to be repealed by a law which
has not received the Governors signature.
Another law that made the taxation de-
pend Oh its acceptance by all the railroads
in the state has failed of passage, and be-
tween the various repeats and oversights
in legislation it is thought that there will
be no returns from railroad taxation UNI
less il is voluntary on The part of the rail
roads. 1t is stated that the Northern Pa
citic has paid taxes in the past. although
not legally required to do so. payment be-
ing for the purpose of avoiding trouble.

RIDICVLES THE REBELLION.
American Tourist from Cuba says
il is insignificant.

Tampa. Fla. special: !. ". Howard. OF
New York. who has been travelling al
over Cula during the last two weeks. ar
rived on the NaScotte from Havana. He
ridicules the stories Of any serious engage
ments having taken place between Gov
eminent troops and rebels. The latter
have a poor organization and are travelling
about in bands of from three TO eight anu
generally disband, hide their arms and flee
to the nearest village on the approach OF
the soldiers. If the %Spainards in favor OF
home rule decide to take sides with the
revOlutioniSts a sort OF guerrilla warfare
may be maintained in the outlying dis
tricts and mountain Businesses indefinitely
unless the Government takes de-
cisive measures to stamp il out.
Howard met many small lands
of rebels and photographed some OF
them. He says most of them are what in
this country would be termed marauders
or tramps. All disturbances that have
taken place have been in the region be-
tween MatanzaS and Ceiba Mocha. but no
conflict has taken place in which more
than fifty men have been engaged. 1t isab-
surd to talk about 1000 being defeated, as
no such number has yet been brought to-
gethcr. The rcvoluiionists profess to be
awaiting reinforcements. Arms, ammu-
milton, food and apparel are to be for
warded to them from Key West and Tam
pa. Tourists and others can move about
the island at will.

Weekly Review of Trade will say: The
congressional adjournment and proof that
though the rate Of exchange rises to and
even above the shipping point, gold does

near Pittsburg and several thousand build
ing workers, besides strikes in ten ortwclye
textile and iron establishments, further
lessen purchasing power for the time. But
there Is anticipation of improved demand

Our farmers move slow, but they
move. They have been selling straw
berries, early potatoes and other vege-
tables at profit this year. But they
might have been doing the same thing
for years past. Crawford county farm
ers have shipped this spring hundreds
of carloads of straw berries, and Craw-
ford and Sebastian farmers have ex-
ported hundreds of carloads of early
potatoes and string beans. Their
lands were just as rich, perhaps richer,
ten years ago. and they could have
been making money all these years if
they had only known how.-Little

What Broke Up the Recitation.

The following story is going the
rounds: A prominent professor of the
Arkansas Industrial university while
hearing class was interrupted by the
japitor. After returning to class work
the professor remarked. "By the way,
young men, that janitor is related by
blood ties to the distinguished govern
or, Tillman, of South Carolina" The
next day some incident brought up
another name and the professor
remarked that the professor of
the same name in the college
was related to the distinguished
author, Leverett. The next day it
was shown that another professor was
of near kin to a distinguished novelist.
On the next day the professor desiring
to caution them against hero worship,
began by saying: Il follow no man
save Jesus Christ" Quick as lightning
young Askew said: Professor. will
you be kind enough to tell us to what
member of the faculty this distinguish
ed individual is a kin?" That broke

ably surprised with the situation, par
ticularly in New Orleans and the lead
ing trade centers of Texas. In that
state the outlook is for one of the big

ditto. That will put goodly share of

Then Jacobs began to feed pies to the

He has decided preference for mince
pies, and the moro raisins and c%urrants

Pumpkin pie he likes. and cranberry
