The Chicago Times-Herald remarks +:
"Modern invention is bound to get
rid of the horse, and the services of
that noble animal are now being dis.
pensed with in numberless ways.
Steam and electricity have ruthlessly
shouldered him aside, and the bicycle
threatens him in one of his most de-
lightful uses. As elimination to
these comes the "horseless carriage" I"
which has just shown itself to be a
most pronounced success in France.
Vehicles of that kind made a compet-
ing race between Bordeaux and Paris
the other day, distance of 736 miles,
and the time was an average of fifteen
miles an hour. The days OF the horse
are numbered.

John Goode and william Freeman, the
colored murderers, were hanged in the Jail
at Greensburg. Pa, Thursday morning. The
dual execution was the ilrst capital punish
ment inflicted In he county for 20 years
and consequently brought great crowds 10
town. The execution was successful In every
detail. At 10 o'clock the spiritual advisers,
Revs. Meek and Funk, who for the past
month havo labored diligently with the un-
fortunate men, concluded their work. For
the past two days Goode, who had previous
ly scoffed at religion, became reconciled and
spent the most Of his time in prayer.
The crime for which William Freeman gave
up his life was the cold blooded murder Of
Gertrude Smith, alias Timbilake. who lived
with him for several years as his wife, al
though they were never married.
The crime for which John Goode was exc

REFUNDING THE INCOME TAX
It Would Have Yielded Revenue OF
Forty-Fiye Million.

The Internal Revenue Bureau has pratic-
ally completed the work OF recording and
scheduling the returns received under the In
come tax act, and very soon will be ready to
begin the work OF refunding the amounts paid
before the law was declared unconstitutional.
Applications for refund are coming in very
slowly.
From the returns made, II is believed tina,
fully one-half OF the number OF persons sub
ject TO the tax made no return whatever and
this proportion is believed TO be even greater
In respect OF the amounts OF the tax involved.
The aggregate OF the returns made rep o sent
about sl5000,000 Of tax, and hence about
$50, 200, 900 1t Is calculated, would have been
collected II all who were subject to the tax
had sent in returns.
