Inheritance Tax.

Fl A Foushee, of Durham, wrote
the State Treasurer asking whether
section Al of the new revenue act ap-
plies to estates of persons who died
before the passage OF the act, but
which were not then settled, or only
to estates which have descended since
it's passage. He also desired to know
the construction OF the word "inheri-
tance" The whole inquiry concerns
the tax on Inheritance. The treasurer,
after referring the matter to MacRae
and Day, his attorneys, replies that it
is held that such tax is not retro
spective in character, and that the
word s'inheritanco" applies to real
estate, means anything of that char
acter which descends from ancestor or
heir.

1t will not cure everything. 1t is not
claimed that it will cure but one complaint,
and that is, dyspepsia. We cannot say that
it will cure every case of dyspepsia, but it
will cure large majority of them. Such
cases as are adapted to its use will derive
immediate benefit. One small bottle will be
sufficient to test it,

Corn and Matching Eggs.

Parching Corn and Hatching Eggs.
The weather has been intensely
warm here during the past few weeks,
but the mercury has been higher in
at least one other Southern city, as is
evidenced by this statement In the
Washington Post:
"a correspondent of the Post in one
of the Southern cities sent in a special
dispatch Monday night, In which he
said the weather in that city had been
exceedingly warm, prominent citi-
zen having exhibited about the streets
an earn of corn that had been parched
upon its stalk in field. The dispatch
also said that eggs shipped through
there on freight trains were Matching
out, and that one crate of eggs had
five live chickens in it when it was un-
loaded in that city. This is known
officially to the Weather Bureau as
warm weather"

George N. Banks, of the Governors
Guards, Shot at Raleigh.
At sham battle of the Governors
Guards, at Pu.leH Park, in Raleigh,
July 18th, George N. Banks, MEM
Der of the Guards, who was taking
part in the battle, was shot and al
most instantly killed. 1t Cannot be
ascertained who is responsible for the
loaded cartridge. 1t seems that the
cartridges were examined very closely
before being given out by the Captain
and First and Second Lieutenants,
and owing to the difference in weight
between a loaded and blank cartridge,
it is hard to account for the accident.
To lend additional mystery to the
story, it is said that no loaded cart
ridges have been given out to the
company for over two years.

consul TO Bordeaux, France, by Pre,i-
dent Mckinley through the influence of
the Inter Ocean, IN which paper he has
been a writer for some time. Mr.. Tour
gee is classed as from New York state
though he has lived very little at his
former home in Chautauqua county
for the past ten years and he was not
endorsed by Il single prominent republi
can congressman or senator from that
state. These, especially Senator Platt.
are hostile to the appointment being as
cribed 20 New York and threaten to
make war upon President McKinley's
appointment when it comes up for con-
tirmarion. These big fellows don't seem
to realize that they have been helping
the president do these very things to the
little republicans u here in Dakota.
Probably they will now take a tumble to
themselves.

SUGGESTED AID
President Sends a Message to
Congress Relating to Dis
treSs in Cuba.
Appropriation of $4,000 to Re.
lieve Necessities of Ameri-
cans Suggested.
Senate Passed the Desired Meas.
ure, but Delay May Occur
in the House.

WASHINGTON, May 10. President
Mckinley has sent the following mes.
sage to congress.
To the Senate and House of Representa-.
tives:
Official information from our consuls in
Cuba establishes the fact that a large
number of American citizens in the island
are in n state Of restitution, suffering for
want of food and medicines.
This applies particularly to the rural
districts of the central and eastern parts.
The agricultural classes have been
forced from their farms into the nearest
towns, where they are without work or
money.
The local authorities of the several
towns, however kindly disposed, are un
able TO relieve the needs of their W peo-
pie, and are altogether powerless to help
our citizens.
The latest report of Consul General Lee
estimates 600 to 500 Americans without
means of support. l have assured him
that provision would be made at once to
relieve them. To that end, l recommend
that congress make an appropriation OF
not less than $4,000 to be Immediately
available under the direction of the secre.
tary of state.
1t is desirable that a part of the sum
which may be appropriated by congress
should, in the discretion Of the secretary
of state, also be used for the transporta-
ton of American citizens who, desiring tc
return to the United States, are without
means to do so.
(Signed,) WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
