Their Scales Not Scaled.

HILLS, Mimi, April 10.-One law on
the statute books the Hills merchants
would like to see repealed the act pro-
viding for the sealing Of weights and
measures. A few days ago suit was
commenced by various merchants
against several parties for store ac-
counts, and they were very much sur
prised when the defense set up the
claim that the scales did not bear the
state seal and they were therefore not
liable. There is not a sealed scale or
measure in the city.

IN A GREAT MIDDLE.
Income Tax Collectors Fail to
Find Out Where They
Are At.
LARGE SIZED DIFFICULTIES
Arise From the Decision of the
Supreme Court-Some
Cases Supposed. ...

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The decision
of the supreme court in the income tax
case has plunged the internal revenue
officials into almost inexplicable mys-
terry and trouble, and the more the de.
cision is studied the greater seems to be
the difficulty attending a clear under
standing of its scope. The declaration
that rents and incomes from real estate
are exempted has opened up a question
Very Difficult of Solution.
The question has arisen for serious
consideration whether the effect Of the
decision is not to include not only rents
proper, but all profits of whatever char
acter growing out Of real estate, includ-
ing farm products, timber, coal and all
mine products, within the exempt
class, so that real estate, including
buildings thereon, which, whatever else
is held by law to be part of realty, will
be entirely exempt. Whether losses
sustained through bad rent debts, the
amount of expenses incurred in collect.
ing rents or repairs on houses are to be
deducted from incomes is also a mooted
question.
Surprising q Case.
Under the decision rents are not to be
included in assessing the income tax.
Suppose, it is asked, a mans income is
of a mixed character, that is, from real
and personal property? The former is
exempt. Can he deduct the expenses
necessary for the collection of his in
come from personal property before
making a return? The question is puz-
cling the revenue collectors, and legal
opinion on the point will probably be
sought.
Another Grave Question.
Another grave question raised by the
decision is whether the roadbed, round
houses, stations, etc., of railroads are
real estate Of personal property within
the meaning of the law. The laws of
several states are said to differ on this
point and on several others of import.
ance which are involved in the opinion
Of the court.
AS soon as a verified copy of the
opinion can be had the internal reve-
nue. officials will begin the preparation
Of supplementary regulations, which
will cover i'll a more or less general way
the opinion of the court, leaving the
more obstruse questions to be solved as
they are presented. Collectors IN diff
ferent parts of the country already have
begun to telegraph for instructions on
many points, at the same time stating
that the crush of those who desire tt
make returns has already begun. AL
things considered, it is now thought
that the loss to the treasury receipts
from the income tax source will not ex
coed SO per cent of the total that ha6
been expected from this tax and may
reach a much higher figure.

mission recently appointed by Governor
Upham to distribute seed grain and
provisions among the fire sufferers OF
Northern Wisconsin in accordance with
the law appropriating $4,000 to the re-

sists of Captain II. A. Chase, G. X.
Erwin and Joseph Warringer. MI.
Chase spent last week in Price and
Taylor counties, where he says he
found many destitute settlers who had
lost their homes by forest fires. In the
towns of Ogema and Phillips, l07
families
Wore Reported Destitute.
Of this number Mr.. Chase says pos
sibly SO are actual fire sufferers, the
others being settlers who, on account
of the drouth of the past two summers,
lost their crops, and the further fact
that on account of the shortness of the
winter season they have been unable to
market their logs, bark and wood. AT
Ogema Wednesday $110 was raised for
this class of sufferers, and other places
are contributing in like manner. Mr..
Chase and Mr.. Erwin have gone to the
burned district and the work will be
rushed to completion.

Wsrship Kaiser Adler to Head a
Naval Procession.
JUNE 10 IS THE DATE SET
Military Advantages OF the Great Ditch
Mean Volumes in Case OF
European War.

Berlin. June 8. The trial trips
through the Baltic and North sea canal,
made this week by the imperial yacht
Hohenzollern and the Hamburg-Amer-
ican line steamer Palatia, with the
chancellor Prince Hohenlohe. Minister
of the Interior Won Koeller and others
on board, showed that the canal is in
condition for the passage of a small
fleet on June 10 and 20. The Palatia
Just touched bottom between Rends-
burg and HOltein, hut ii was nothing
more serious than stirring up the mud.
According to the program, the Kaiser
Adler, with Emperor William on board,
will head a procession of is German and
foreign vessels which will pass through
the canal during the evening Of June
10. The Marblehead will represent the
United States during the passage of
the Elbe from Hamburg to Brunsbut-
tie, and the canal will be closed to traf-
fic until after the ceremonies are over.
The great canal which joins the Bal
tic sea TO the ocean cost about 38, 500, 900
marks and has been eight years in
building. 1t intersects the peninsula of
Schleswig-H from Brunsbuttle,
near the mouth of the river Elbe, to
Holtenau, on Kiel bay and opposite the
city of Kiel, a distance of about SO
miles.
The military advantage is that hence
forth in time of war the German navy
cannot be diveded, and the provisioning
Of either the Baltic or the north shore
can not be interrupted or rendered i'm
passable.
The agitation in France against
French warships at IIiel hosting the
imperial flag bearing the sinister date
1870" has induced the emperor to de-
eide not to visit any foreign warships
during the celebrat ton of the opening
Of the canal, as if he visited any Of
them he would be compelled to visit
the Hoche the French flagship, which
would thereby be bound to hoist the
standard. The cause of French excite
ment about this matter appears to be
due to the fact that Prince Bismarck,
during the course of a speech made in
response to the address Of a deputation
in April last said that the canal had
been proposed by him in 1867, but that
| nobody would listen to him until the
French war indemnity gave him the
wherewithal to carry out the scheme.
The speech which Emperor william
| is to make at the Holtenau banquet on
June q is awaited with curiosity. The
French admiral, Monard, is to sit on
! his majesty's right hand, and the Rus
sian admiral, Skeinidleff, is to sit on his
! left, Thus it will be difficult for the
emperor to avoid a special allusion to
France as the most honored guest.
