A Million Dollar Hyphen

Washington.-The omission of a hy
phen in the present tariff bill would have
meant a loss Of 81, 600, 900 to the revenues
of the government had this omission not
been discovered by the treasury experts,
who are carefully going over the bill as
finally passed by the senate. The clause
as printed under the head Free List
reads:
1892. Fruit plants, tropical and semi
tropical for the purpose of propagation
or cultivation"
The omission of the hypf1en between
the words fruit and plants placed fruit
on the free list, when, as matter of
fact, all kinds of fruit are dutiable, the
revenue from which annually amounts
to more than $1,O0O,O00. Under the con-
struction of the. United States courts,
in all disputed tariff duties, the benefit
of the doubt has to be given to the i'm
porter.
The tariff conferees were advised this
afternoon of the discovery made and
the omitted hyphen will be inserted in
it's proper place.-New York Journal.

Incendiary Fires

SONOMA, July 2S.-This morning at
half-past one o'clock large barn owned
by c. Agulon of this place was burned
to the ground. AS the firemen were re-
turning to the engine house another fire
was discovered in the wine cellar of j. A.
Pope This was quickly extinguished,
and upon investigation they found a
candle with a bottle for its holder filled
with coal oil This had been placed
where it could ignite the side of the
building. The people are badly fright
ened over this fourth attempt in the
past few months to burn their town.

this end he will have the active co-ope-
ration of Secretary Gage.
The currency commission bill passed
by the House on the last day of the
session, is dead, and it is not likely the
President will revive the project of hav-
ing a monetary reform measure framed
and recommended by commission.
It is now planned that an administra-
ton plan shall be formulated during the
summer and autumn and submitted to
Congress when it convenes in December.
BY the time Secretary Gage submits
his first annual report to Congress next
December, he will, in all probability,
have a plan formulated, which may be
submitted to the administration as a
scheme of currency reform.

Nh. B. b. Brown of this place, pres
ident of the First National Bank, has
purchased controlling interest in
the Central National Bank OF Pueblo,
and VIII hereafter be president of
that financial institution. Mr.. Brown
has been so closely identified with
the history Of Lamar and all of its
enterprises that his removal from La
mar seems like losing one of the old
landmarks.
His success in building up the
First National Bank Of this place to
its present proad position rs a stable
and successful financial institution,
has naturally led him TO seek a larger
field for which he is eminently quail
fled. He is conservative in his bus
mess management and yet there has
mot been business enterprise put on
It. feet in this valley, but what has
had the benefit Of his material assis-
.tance.
His removal from hare is great
loss to the county but we are glad to
be able to state that he will not sever
his connection with this bank, but
will remain its president, and while
giving his personal attention to his
Pueblo business he will still retain
his interests here. The people of Pu-
ebIo will find him thorough bust
ness man who is enterprising and full
of energy, and one who cannot hep
but be an important factor in their
business circles. We regret to lose
him but yet are glad that he is en-
Abarkiug in larger enterprise which
we know he will make asuceess.

other societies will miss Mrs. Brown
as she has always been one of the
