are likely to reach the $4,000 mark. All
corporations, regardless of income, must fill
out this blank. These blanks are required
to be filed with the collector before the
first Monday in March, and the tax must be
paid before July / of each year. The penal
ty for failure to file the blank at the prop
er time is SO per cent. of the assessed tax.

JAMES b. WILSON In PERU.
Is Strong Against Him and
Long Conte Is Looked For.

Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff ]. A.
Dynes took James B. Wilson, editor of the
People, to Peru, where he is wanted for
criminal libel. When taken to Peru his
bond had been arranged, except the in
Identifying bond of $500. Word was i'm
mediately sent to this city for bondsmen,
and Albert Lieber said that if Tom Taggart
and Charles Polster would join hin he
would go on the bond. By the time that
Wilson arrived in Peru the grand jury had
convened, and Wilson was required to at
tend, and up to a late hour had not had
an opportunity to secure the additional
names on his bond, and it is probable that
he was required to spend last night in the
Jail at Peru.
TIL feeling at Peru against Wilson is very
high, and the populace has ranged itself
into two factions. The municipal author
tiles of Peru have, for some time, it is
said, been making strenuous efforts to close
up the gambling denS and all other places
of iniquity in that city, and have, in that
manner acquired the enmity of the saloon
element. A few nights ago the better
classes held a mass meeting and Endorsed
the minister who was Instrumental in bring
ing the suit against Wilson. Consequently,
TT is claimed that the saloon element has
taken sides with Wilson. and proposes to
support him in the case. 1t is expected that
the case will be holly contested.

HELD UP In HIS SALOON.
William Rogers Robbed of $172 Early
Yesterday Morning.

Yesterday morning about 5 o'clock un-
known parties took $172 from William Rog-
ers, while he was in his saloon at No. III
West Washington street. Mr.. Rogers is an
old soldier, and badly crippled, and lives
above his saloon. Yesterday he opened his
place of business shortly after 5 o'clock and
was standing near the bar, when two men
entered and leveling a revolver at him,
ordered him to throw up his hands. He
did SO and one of the men took from him
$l72 which was in a sack, and which he al
ways kept in the same pocket. The men
then quickly departed, and as Mr.. Rogers
is afflicted with heart disease, it was some
time before he could give the alarm. The
matter was uelephoned to the police depart
ment and the detectives were soon at work
on the case, but up to a late hour last night,
nothing had been developed. The men must
have been acquainted with the habits Of
Mr.. Rogers. He often drew his money bag
from his pocket during the day, and as his
saloon is frequented by a gang of toughs,
Il is thought that some of them

PLAN Fol MORE GAS.
Council to BE Asked to Compel Gas
Companies to Cut on Factories.

The complaint against the gas companies
has taken definite form and may be pre-
scented to the Council next Monday night in
the shape of a request for an investiga-
ton of the cause of the low pressure and
a demand that some action be taken look
ing to the betterment of the supply for
residences. 1t was a live topic of discus
sion in the courthouse all day yesterday.
Citizens discussed, in an informal manner,
means which could be adopted to bring
about the desired end. The citizens seem
to have become convince. of the fact that
the gas companies have all the pressure
on their pipes which their wells will fur
niSh, and are now discussing other means
of securing more gas for domestic use.
The plan which seemed to be in the great
est favor with the people is one which will
require the gas companies to consider the
needs of residences before supplying fac
tories and large buildings. 1t was proposed
to ask the Council to pass an ordinance re-
at ali times be not below a certain stand
ard, the standard to be determined by the
pressure necessary to give private con-
This standard of pressure, it is commended,
could be maintained by cutting off the
factories and public buildings during spells
Gated this plan did not seem to know
whether it was within the power of the
Council to take such action. but if not. it
is the intention to ask the Legislature to
grant the proper power. 1t IS believed the
wells supplying this city have sufficient
power to furnish the residences with all
the gas necessary, even in the coolest
weather, and the advocates of this plan
believe it must be the ultimate solution Of
the gas problem.
Thus far there seems to be no definite
head to any movement in this line, but
every person who had business about the
courthouse yesterday seemed to catch the
inspiration as soon as they got within the
building, where the air appeared to be
surcharged with theories on the gas ques-
ton.
A meeting of South Side citizens will be
held this evening at Buddenbaum & Hell
ler's grocery, on Prospect street. The mat
ter OF insufficiency of gas is TIC be consid-
cred. The meeting will be open to all citi-
ZenS.

A Case in Perry Township.

. Coroner Castor was notified yesterday
morning that George Thomson, living on the
Fletcher farm, in Perry township, had been
found dead in his room. The Coroner went
to the place and had the body removed to
the morgue Of c. T. Whitset Thomson
was a bachelor of about forty-five years, oc-
cupying a small hut on the Fletcher farm,
and working on the place for a living. He
was well liked by the other employees and
was said to be in good spirits Wednesday
night. Thursday morning when he did not
appear, some one went to his hut and, not
being able to arouse him., notified the Cor
oner. When DIR. Castor arrived he broke
in the door and found Thomson's dead
body lying on the floor near the stove, from
which all vestige of fire had disappeared.
Thomson had removed his coat, but still
wore his trousers and cap. A small box
of gum opium was found in his pocket and
in different places in his room were found
small quantities of the same dug, which
leads Coroner Castor to think that Thorn
son was an opium eater.
The popular theory is that Thomson took
too large a dose of opium. or that he had
eaten Just enough to make him Stupid and,
living down before the fire, had frozen to
death when the fire disappeared, as the room
was very cold when the Coroner arrived.
An autopsy will be held on the body this

HIGH SCHOOL MITES.

Our rank last week was 10. That
is horrible.
Why is it that parents do not visit
the schools oftener and see what theiI
children are doing. 1t would encour-
age the pupils to do better and would
perhaps benefit the parents.
Don't forget Prof. Blackmar's lee
ture Friday evening March Sth. The
subject of the lecture is the "Origin
and Growth of Socialism" This is a
subject in which every body is inter
ested. Do not miss it.
We thought that after the little talk
given by Prof. Picken Thursday
morning on the propriety of sending
comic valentines, that none would be
sent by High School pupils. We
were mistaken however, for several OF
the boys received their photographs
in that manner. We were among
them and we wish to say that the ar
tistic work which the young ladies
put upon them was very good,-for a
girl.
The Clionian Club gave an enter
tainment at the school house last
night. 1t is needless to say that it
was very good, the Clionian Club do
not give any other kind.
There will be no school to-day on
account of its being Washington's
birthday.
The boys are going to begin play
ing foot ball next week. Ifyou want
to have some fun just come down to
the grounds.
Two members Of the High School,
Maude Esse and Clint Taylor, were

In one of your recent issues l notice
an appeal for home patronage and
against the itinerant business man
commonly called a pedler. 1 think
your advice is good and if each and
every community would practice it
there would be no need of pedlers,
but such is not the case. Examine the
list of patrons of one these itinerants
and you will nearly always find the
names of those for whom you are
making the appeal. Meet one of our
business men on the street and ask
him where got that suit of clothes,
the frequent reply would be that he
ord cred it from Wanamaker's or from
Kansas City "Where did you get
those shoes?n "Oh, 1 got them in
Kansas City the last time was up,
cost me % cents less than the same
can be bought for here" "Where do
you buy your groceries," "Well L
don't believe in buying groceries in
small quantities. can send an order
to Kansas City, get . pounds of
graduated sugar for a dollar, 5
pounds of Lion Office for dollar and
all other goods away down below
what they would cost here. Our
grocerymen must be getting rich"
Meet the wife of one of these "loyal"
business men. "What a pretty dress
you have on, where did you get it? al
sent to Barr's at st. Louis for samples
as our stores don't have anything l
like. 1 got it for 40 cents per yard
and Northrup asks As cents for the
same quality" when in fact the same
quality could be bought for 35 or 374
cents in any store in town. Another
will tell you "she goes twice year to
Kansas City and purchases full out
fit for the family. / am going this
spring. We need carpets, furniture
and curtains. "Where did you buy
your buggy and lawn mower? We
will want one this spring" ooh,
hubby got them in Kansas City. He
says our implement men charge too
much. Then he says he is not under
any obligations to them as they go to
Kansas City or Fit Scott if they want
anything in his line"
Interview every business man in
town, or his wife, and you will find
five-fourths of their answers, if hon.
est, will be similar to the above. If
you start out on that tour, Mr.. Editor,
don't fail to interview the editors and
their employees and see how loyal
they are. OF course we must have all
of our printing done at home.

preach, be loyal to our town, loyal to
our county and state and do not for
get our paramount allegiance we owe
