Collector Gilkeson of West Virginia
gives out the following information
relative to the income tax law now in
force Corporations are to be taxed
on their entire net income and individ-
uals on the excess of income over
$4,000. All individuals, however,
who have incomes aggregating $500
must make return showing the amount
of incomes from all sources and these
returns both for corporations and in
diyiduals must be made to the collec-
tor of internal revenue on or before
the first Monday in March. In case
of failure to render return as repaired,
the party's income shall be ascertained
by the collector, the tax determined
and so per cent added to it, which
shall then stand as the lawful assess
meut against the party, Because the
collector fails to send you a blank on
which to make return is not sufficient
excuse to avoid the so per cent addi-
tional tax. The law requires the tax
payer to make the return.

Death of a Noted Man.

A dispatch from Louisiana, Mo,
says: David Conkling, aged ninety
three years, died in this city Thursday.
He was born near Charlestown, Jeffer-
son county, Va, February Is, 1902.
In 1889 he made Carthage, ILL.,, his
home until 1851, when he came to
Louisiana, Mo. While at Carthage
Mr.. Conkling was one of the organi-
zers Of the Wolf Hunters, sort Of
military organization, whose object
was not the determination of the ami
NAL whose name it bore, but wolf Of
another description, better known as
Mormon. When Joseph and Hyrum
Smith, DR.. Taylor and other church
dignitaries were arrested at Nauvoo
for sacking the Nauvoo Expositor Of
fee and destroying the press and type,
in June, 1914, they were brought to
Carthage and placed in Jail, with the
Wolf Hunters as guard over them,
but a mob, not fearing the guards
guns, which were said to be loaded
with blank cartridges, succeeded in
battering down the Jail entrance and,
rushing in, soon made quick work of
Hyrum Smith, who was instantly killed
by rifle ball. Joe Smith was then
dispatched while in the act of jumping
from a window by well-directed shot
from a gun in the hands of young
man named Morris, of Missouri, whose
sister Smith had ruined. Mr.. Conk-
ling once said: The Prophet gave
three convulsive gasps and expired. |

ground was saturated with his blood.

DastardIy Deed Of Robbers.

News of dastardly crime comes
from Brownsville, Pa. The other night
three men broke into the residence Of
Frank Smallwood, an old man who
lives by himself in a lonely spot, and
who is supposed to have considerable
money. The old man was bound,
blindfolded and tied in chair, while
the robbers searched for plumber
Finding but four dollars, they became
enraged and tried to force Smallwood
to reveal the hiding place of his money,
He told them that he had no money,
and plead piteously for mercy. The
men beat him and threatened him with
all kinds of torture, but received the
same answer. Smallwood was then
tied more securely to the chair and
carried to the fireplace and threatened
with being burned alive if he did not
tell where the money was; he insisted
that he had none. The burglars paid
no attention to his cries, but thrust his
feet into the red-hot Goals in the CRATE.
His groans and cries were drowned by
the loud threats and imprecations of
his tormentors, Finally when the bur-
glars became convinced that there was
no money in the house they sat the
chair, in which the old man was tied,
back in the middle of the floor and
left. Smallwood remained conscious
all the time and suffered untold agony
from the burns on his feet and legs.
When he regained sufficient strength
he tors off the blindfold and released
himself from the chair. Shortly after
daybreak neighbor passed the house
and Smallwood gave the alarm. A
physician was summoned and dressed
the burns, which were in q bad con-
dition from neglect. Smallwood is in
a serious condition.

STILL AT SEA.

There is no hope of financial leg
islation by the present Congress. The
plan of currency reform endorsed by
President Cleveland and the admins
tration was rejected by the House of
Representatives last Thursday, and a
substitute offered by Congressman
Reed, which was not Objectionable to
the President, met a like fate. This
ends all hope Of financial relief from
this Congress.
On Saturday the President sent a
message to Congress in which he in
formed that body that he had, under
the law of 1875, negotiated the sale of
about $50, 100000 of 4 per cent "coin !"
bonds at such premium as to bring
the treasury $65,000,000 of gold and
make the rate of interest actually paid
on that amount 81 per cent. No bet
ter rate of interest could be obtained
because under the law of 1875 the
bonds are payable, principal and inter-
est, in "coin," which is now an equiv
ocal term. The President further
stated that if Congress will within ten
days authorize the payment of the
principal and interest explicitly in
gold" the loan can be issued at 3
per cent rate instead of 81 per cent
rate. Such is the market difference,
in view Of the present situation, be-
tween bonds payable in "coin" and In
"gold." AS 3 per cent rate would
save the government $539,l59 in in
terest yearly, as compared with 81
per cent rate, Congress is urged to act
at once. The message was referred
promptly In the House to the ways
and means committee, and Chairman
Wilson, it is understood, will report
bill authorizing 8 per cent gold bond.
The President has thus again shown
his intention to maintain the financial
credit of the government, even if Con-
gress does pull back. If Congress re-
fuses to order the bond issue the only
effect will be to add some sixteen mil
lions of interest to our burden Of debt.
By the arrangement that the authori-
ties have made large portion of the
gold is to come from abroad.
