THE WHISKY TRUST AFFAIRS
Receiver General McNulta Now

Resign and Judge Grosscup Puts
the General In C~harge-key
TO the Story.

Chicago, March 23.-General McNulta,
John G. Mitchell and Edwin +. Law
renee, the whisky trust receivers, ten
dered thir designations this morning
and the court has them under advises
ment.
Judge Grosscup has accepted the res
ignations Of Messrs. Lawrence and
Mitchell and has continued General Nc
Nulta as sole receiver of the whisky
trust.
Back Of these very ordinary proceed.
ings there Is a story that does not seem
to lack confirmation. 1t Is that the
three receivers resigned as a means OF
Kidding the receivership OF Edwin +.
Lawrence. Mr.. Lawrence vas the nom-
inee of the Greenhut interests In the
original receivership. When Mr.. Green
hut was removed Mr.. Lawrence was res
tanned by the court, but the New York
stockholders have felt all along that he
did not represent their interests entire-
ly. He has all along been personally nom
grata with the other two receivers, has
not been present at most of their con-
ferences and has not been in their con-
fdence. The removal OF Mr.. Lawrence
removes the last vestige OF the Green-
hut-lNelson Morris interest from the
receivership. While no direct charges
have been brought against Mr.. Law
renee. his connection with Nelson Nor
ris for a long term Of years as well as
the fact that he was appointed a receiv-
er at the nstanc OF President Green
hut. has combined to make him unpop-
ola with the other receivers and the

JAPANESE CABINET CHANGES
New Statesmen who VIII Hold the Reins
Of Power.

Washington, March 22.-The Japanese
legation here received cable information
of several cabinet changes, one of which
-Matsu Gaia to be minister of finance
has not yet been announced. Field
Marshal Yamagata, who was in COM
mand OF the first army until he became
i'll, now becomes minister of war. The
place was occupied temporarily by
Marshal Oyama, the hero of Port Ar
thur. The new minister of finance is
one OF the foremost statesmen of The
east on the money question, and he has
had charge Of Japan's financial affairs
at former events. These cabinet
changes and the appointment Of Prince
Komatsu as commander in chief of all
the military forces Of Japan, are re-
garded as having a significant bearing
on the peace negotiations now In prog
ress, and as clearing the way for the
declaration of al armistice and a ces-
sation Of hostilities. Thus far the mill
itary commands have been divided
among several marshals, conducting
different campaigns. They are now
concentrated into the hands OF one man,
closely in accord with the imperial
household, so that an armstice could
be executed quickly, without waiting
for different commanders to check their
respective campaigns. The new minis
ter of finance will have charge of the
cash in gold or silver to be paid by
China.

SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS.



Huron, S. D., March GA decision
was rendered by Judge Campbell In the
late term of circuit court here, which
will be of much value to township
boards i'm every part of the state.
The case was one where Mr.. Dalquist,
as road overseer, had gone ahead an
performed labor on the highways in
his district without the direction or
knowledge of the township board.
When he presented his bill for labor.
the board disallowed IT on the ground
that the board had not given dircc-
tons for the work. Dalquist, thereup-
on. sued the township n secured
Judgment i'm the justice court for the
amount of his claim. on appeal to the
circuit court taken by the township
board, the circuit court held that the
township board must direct all work on
the highways, and that the overseers
have no authority to work the roads
in their respective districts until the
work had first been directed by h SUI
pervisors, and that the supervisors
can not pay for the work lone without
their knowledge and consent.

THE INCOME TAX LAW.

Expected the Supreme Court Will Decide
on II Monday.
Washington. March 23.-Considerable
anxiety prevails In treasury circles con-
corning the outcome OF the argument
before the supreme court, on the con-
stitutionality of the income tax law.
The court reassembles after its brief
recess on Monday, and ii Is the prevail
ing opinion that the decision will be
handed down on that day, 1t being gen.
orally understood hat the recess was
taken for the purpose of enabling the
justices to prepare their opinions on the
question at issue. Despite, however, the
anxiety thai is apparent beneath the
surface, the officials of the treasury de-
partment, from Secretary Carlisle
downward, are assuming an air of con-
ndence n expressed themselves as
satisfied that the decision will be In IA
vor of the government. That Secretary
Carlisle should assume this appearance
of confidence is natural, for he has cal
culeted upon receipts from the income
tax to make good his prophecy that mex
July will see the national expenditures
equaled by the receipts, but I'm legal
circles not 80 much certainty is ex-
pressed, and there are many astute
lawyers who believe the opinion will
favor the appellants. 1t is not unlikely,
moreover, that on the question Of con
stitutionality the court may be divided
within itself, and this, owing to the i'll
ness of Justice Jackson, would result
in n deadlock. In such a contingency,
the law would stand as though no APP
peal had been taken. This, however
would be an unsatisfactory solution OF
the difficulty, and both sides are anxious
for a straight out decision.

A printer sat i'm his Office chair. his
boots were patched and his o thread
bare. and his face looked weary and
worn with care. While sadly thinking
of business debt. old Morpheus slowly
around him crept, and before he knew II
he soundly slept; n sleeping he
dreamed thai he was dead, and from
trouble and toll his spirit had fled. and
not even a COW bell tolled. for the peace
full rest Of his cowhide sole. And he
wandered among the shades, that smoke
and scorch in lower hades. He shortly
observed an iron door, that creaking
hung on its hinges ajar, but the en-
rance was closed with a red hot bar.
and satan himself stood peeping out,
waiting for travellers thereabout, and
h Il to the passing printer spoke:
Come in my dear: IL shall cost you
nothing and never fear; this Is the place
where l cook the mes who never pay
their subscription sums: for though In
life they may escape. they'll find when
they're dead IL Is not too late. I'll
show you the place where | melt them
thin. with red hot chains and scraps of
tin, and also where | comb their heads
with broken glass and melted lead;
and If of refreshments they only think,
there's boiling water for them to drink
the red hot grindstone to grind their
nose and the red hot rings To wear on
their toes, and If they mention they
don't like fire. I'll sew up their mouths
with red hot wire; and then, dear sir,
you'll see them squirm while ] roll them
over and cool to turn"
With these last words the printer
awoke. and thought ii all a practical
joke, but still at times so real 1t seems.
that he cannot believe 1t was all a
dream. and often he thinks, with a
chuckle and grin, OF the fate OF those
who a their tin, and never pay the
printer.

TO WEIGH WESTERN MAILS.
POstofice Department Will Commence
the Big Task About April 4.

the Big Task About April 4.
Washington, March est has been
decided at the postoffice department to
begin April 1 Weighing the mail matter
hauled by railways in Illinois, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota,
Missouri. Kansas. Arkansas, Montana

their services. More than 400 mail
welghers have been or will be chosen
from the eligible list to do this work.
There are four mail districts in the
United States, and the mails are
weighed once each year, so hat in the
course of four years the four districts
are covered. The task Of weighing the
mails is the hardest in the territory
near Chicago and New York. The ave-
rage weight of mail matter handled by
the railways entering Chicago Is 200
IONS a day. One mail train, the New
York and Chicago fast mail, on the
Lake Shore and New York Central rail-
ways. hauls into Chicago over thirty
eight tons Of mail every day. The fast
mail on the Burlington road which
leaves Chicago for Omaha about 3
o'clock each morning, averages over
twenty tons of mail a day. The night
mail train on the Lake Shore railway
averages about thirty tons a day. An
other very heavy train in The Illinois
district Is the st. Louis and Kansas
City fast mail. on the Missouri Pacific
railway. which carries some fifteen tons
a day. James F.. White. general super
intendent of the railway mail service.
