Two Hundred Persons Made Deathly Ill at
Anderson, Ind.
Anderson, Ind, August 29.-Tartaric
acid or some other drug used in lem
onade sold at a circus here yesterday
afternoon poisoned 200 persons, fifty
Of whom are in a serious condition.
The acid had just been purchased from
an Indiana druggist. Doctors say il
might have been stale or foreign in
gradients might have become mixed
with it or It might not have been 'ar-
taric acid at all, though labeled that
way direct from the wholesale labora-
tory.
People began to get deathly sick DIR
ing the performance and had TO lie
taken from the tent. Press Agent
Hawkins called physicians, diagnosed
the cases and had all attention possible
given.
Late tonight most of the victims in
the city are mending, but there yet re-
mains some doubtful cases. City au-
thorities are investigating and arrests
may take place yet. 1t is feared that
several children and people in the
country will have a close race with
death.

POOLING THE WAGE WORKERS.

Chicago Dispatch.
During the last Presidential cam
paign the laboring men were told by
the gold advocating employers and the
Republican speellbinders that a vote
for Bryan was a vote to reduce wages
and to increase the cost of living.
Under threats of this kind enough
of the labor vote was coerced into Re
publican ranks to put Mckinley in the
Presidential chair. To-day the laborer
is confronted with demand to submit
to a reduction of wages. The presi-
dent of the Amalgamsted Association
of Iron and Steel Workers has already
signed a scale reducing wages all along
the line. These laborers get less mo-
ney for their work than they did there
tofore. and are compelled to pay more
for the necessities of life. When the
workman buys -four now he has to pay
2 dollar for the same quality that sew
enty-ive cents would buy last month.
Soon wooden goods will go up because
Of the benefificient Dingley tariff, and,
in fact. almost every necessity or Ire
is going to cost more money.
But let the wage worker dare sug-
gest an increase in pay TO the gold
brick employer, who played a conf
dence game on the employe to get his
vote. and what is the result? Refusal,
and if the demand is persisted in, dis
Charge What glorious things the
Republican party has brought 10 pass
for the masses! How perfectly nave
the politicians kept their promises!
Surely the wage workers will believe
these hypocrites hereafter and always
vote for low wages, high prices and
nrOtectiOn.

TREASURY RECEIPTS Run LOW.
The Deficit for August Will Reach Nearly
SIG 100000.

The Deficit for August viii Reach Nearly
,SIG.OOO,OOO.
Washington, D. c., August 29.-The
Treasury receipts are still running at
low ngures, and two secular days re-
naming of the present month will not
carry the total for the month much
above 100000 The expenditures, on
the other hand, will approach close to
$50, 100000, leaving a deficit of nearly
100000. The total receipts up TO
date have been $16,S42,337, of which
S6.211,7O6 has been from customs,
$9.914,4 O6 from internal revenue and
S716.225 from miscellaneous sources.
The customs receipts for the month
will not go much above $IOOOOOO. This
is less than half the average required
to justify the estimates of Senator Al
lison and other supporters Of the new
tariff law. 1t is not yet possible to
determine with any certainty what the
proceeds of the new Fltes will be, after
the effect of the anticipatory imports
have disappeared. The Treasury Off
Gals are hopeful that the receipts Will
be nearly double their present amount
by winter, and that they Will be even
larger late in the spring.
The internal revenue receipts have
been less affected by the new law,
but have been somewhat reduced by
the purchase Of beer stamps in order
to get the benefit Of the rebate under
the old law.

EvAD < BY PERJURY.
LoophOIe Found in the Baggage PrOvis'
ion OF the New Tariff Law.

LoophoIe Found in the Baggage froViS-
ion OF the New Tariff Law.
Boston. August 29.-There is loop
hole. or series Of loopholes, in the bag
gage clause of the Dingley tariff act
which has already allowed thousands
of dollars that should have been col
lected from incoming passengers on the
transatlantic steamers to slip through
the fingers of the customs officials OF
Boston and other ports.
The passengers of the first few ships
to arrive after July "a made compar-
atively accurate declarations as to
their baggage, but the customs officers
find that old tricks are being resorted
to by INSCRIPTIONS persons and that
they are just as successfully played as
formerly. Those who are posted are
giving their friends this tip for use
upon their return from Europe:
you have nothing with you which
you did not take from the United
States"
1t has been found at this port that
this assertion, coolly and positively in
sisted upon, cannot under ordinary
conditions be satisfactorily proved
false.
Passengers making it simply reiter-
ate it to the collector when, as rarely
happens, the matter is taken that far,
and in most cases baggage is delivered
to owners without further trouble.
a recent arrival here was a woman
who had in her trunks several presum-
ably new Paris gowns. There were no
marks upon them, however, and there
was no sign Of the original wrappings.
The owner made a sworn declaration
that she had taken them abroad with
her. and they were passed duty free,
though an attempt was made to dis
prove her statements. 1t proved fruit
less. though it is believed the woman
was a buyer for a New York dress
making establishment.
Discouraged by this and similar fail
ures TO establish the falsity of passen-
gers declarations, the customs officers
Of this port collect about 500 from the
passengers of each incoming steamer
and let it go at that.
Washington, August 28.-The GUS
toms officers who exact tribute from
returning tourists under the personal
effects section of the Dingley law are
to work under explicit instructions
from the Treasury after next week
Tho personal effects section Of the
Dingley law provides that the Secre-
tary shall prescribe appropriate rules
and regulations for its enforcement.
Some time ago Assistant Secretary
Howell drew up set of regulations
which were forwarded to Collector Bid
well at New York for suggestions be-
fore being promulgated. His report
has now been received at the Treasury
Department and Mr.. Howell went to
| New York tonight for a personal con-
! ference tomorrow with the collector,
appraiser. surveyor anu naval oiiiceI
OF the port.
when he returns to Washington he
will prepare a final draft Of the new
regulations and they will probably be
sent out to all customs officials in the
form Of a treasury circular next week.
