TAX ON GAMBLING.
Stocks and Bonds Must Pay Two
Cents a Share When Issued
and When Sold.

Washington, July 3.-The provision for
tax stock and bond transactions in
connection with the tariff bill which was
agreed upon in the caucus of the Repub-
Ican senators was suggested by Sena-
tor Lodge of Massachusetts and grew out
of a statement that with the tea and beer
provisions Withdrawn the tariff bill was
likely to fall short to the extent of $15,-
900, coo in providing sufficient revenue to
meet the demands of the government
The suggestion as made by Mr.. Lodge
was that tax of cents per share should
be levied upon every share of stock sold
at stock exchange, at any other
place and that similar tax of cents
should be collected upon all bonds sold on
the stock exchange or elsewhere. The
caucus accepted the suggestion but de-
cided to leave the formulation of the
amendment with possibly change of
rates to the finance committee.
The committee took the matter up today
but did not reach a definite conclusion. A
rough estimate places the amount of
revenue the provision will furnish at
81, 600, 600. The caucus not only decided
not to impose the extra tax on beer but
it also at the suggestion of Senator
Pritchard receded from the proposed
changes on manufactured tobacco in
Guiding snuff and smoking tobacco, leav-
ing only the provisions in regard to CT
gars and cigarettes of the internal rev.
enue features of the bill.
A decision was reached to make the
rate on cigarettes double that proposed
by the finance committee, or 50 per thous-
and on those weighing less than pounds
per thousand and increasing the rate for
those of larger size.
Senator Elkins seconded Senator Lodges
efforts in behalf of the tax making a vig>
orous speech. 1t is now understood that
the amendment will also provide for
stamp tax on all issues of stock whether
when a company is originally formed, or
it subsequently enlarges it's issue.

CALIFORNIA GRAPE CROP.
Present Yield the Largest in the His
tory of the State.

San Francisco, July 5.-The green fruit
season is now in full swing, and from 80
to 40 carloads of assorted varieties are be-
ing shipped east daily. An enormous
crop of grapes, probably the largest in the
history of the state, will serve to round
out the average later in the season.
The apricot crop is half picked, and is
finding its way to the big eastern cities
at the rate of seven cars daily.
In plums the yield is better and the
prices very high for the time of year.
First-class goods, we'll packed, are fetch
ing from $3.50 to $3.50.
The peach crop in the eastern states is
almost total failure, while in the state
of California the yield will be unusually
large, and the grower is thus sure of good
prices. This brand of fruit is now being
marketed in the east at the rate of 10
cars daily at prices ranging from $1.25 to
S1.5O a box. The California pear crop this
year is away below the average.

AUSTRIA AND THE TRUSTS
Ehete Monarch Moves Faster Than
the "Freev United States.

Washington, July 5.-Austria is the first
of the great foreign nations to inaugurate
a governmental crusade against trusts
and monopolies.
The purpose is to protect the masses
from being compelled to pay unreason-
able prices for sugar, salt and other ne
cessities. 1t is also intended that no de-
crease in values shall be caused by trusts
to the detriment of the producers.
In a report received today at the state
department, Consul-Genera1 Judd, at
Vienna, sends abstract of the bill on
the subject presented by the minister of
finance. It bears the title: IAN act on
trusts concerning articles of consumption
submitted to such indirect taxes as are
connected with any products of indus
try
The bill provides for governmental sup
ervision whenever dependent enterprises
shall unite to regulate the values and
consumption of such articles as sugar,
brandy, beer and oil from minerals.
Governmental supervision is also pro-
posed over agreements between two or
more home trusts and over agreements
made by domestic trusts with similar
organizations of foreign countries.
The government is authorized to ex-
anime any commercial books and pa
pers of such trusts as are amendabIe to
the business conducted. Refusal to COM
ply with a demand upon the directors or
managers of such enterprises for infor-
nation respecting their trade relations is
made a punishable offense.
The minister of finance is authorized to
prohibit the carrying out of any traffic
by trusts if there is reason to anticipate
an increase or decrease of prices to the
damage of producers or consumers.
The bill provides for the formation of a
committee of II to assist the minister of
finance in reaching a decision as to the
character and operations of the various
alleged trusts.
Every known trust is required to give
a bond of 200 900 forms. Every trust is
required to give notice of it's existence,
and in case of failure to do so the Offend
ing firm is subject to a fine of 200, 900 flor
ms. Any person refusing to give such in
formation to the government is liable
to fine of 1000 forms.
In case of false or incomplete evidence
the witness may be punished by imprison-
ment from eight days to three months, or
by fine of 100 to 5000 forms.
Persons forming a trust or combination
in violation of the law render themselves
liable to a fine of 200 to 1000 forms, and
to imprisonment of not less than one
month nor more than six months.

HOT WEATHER DYSPEPSIA.
Thousands Suffer From Tt at This
Season of he Year.

Hot weather dyspepsia may be recog-
nized by the following symptoms: De-
preston of spirits, heaviness and pain in
the stomach after meals, loss of flesh and
appetite, no desire for food, bad taste in
the mouth, especially in the morning,
wind in stomach and bowels, irritable dis
position, nervous weakness, WEAKNESS,
costiveness. headache, palpitation, heart
burn. 1t is mistake to treat such trou-
bles with "tonics.' blood purifiers Ca
thartics," pills. because the whole trou-
BILE is in the stomach. 1t is indigestion or
dyspepsia and nothing else.
All these symptoms rapidly disappear
when the stomach is relieved, strength
ened, and cleansed by Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets. They should be taken after
meals and a few carried in the pocket to
be used whenever any pain or distress is
felt in teh stomach. They are prepared
only for stomach troubles.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are endorsed
by such physicians as DIR. Harlandson,
Dr. Jennison and DR.. Mayer, because
they contain the natural digestive acids
and fruit essences which when taken into
the stomach cause the prompt digestion
of the food before it has time to ferment
and sour, which is the cause of the mis-
chief.

to take and unequaled for invalids. chill

feet digestion. It is safe to say they will

BAY CITY (Mich.), July An elec-
trio car, bound for Saginaw from this
city, crashed through the open draw of
the high iron bridge, two miles south of
this city, at IL o'clock to-day, and the
seven passengers We're carried down into
into the river. A woman and three

IOWA NATIONAL DEMOCRATS.
They Meet in State Convention at
Des Moines.

DIES MONIES Qa.), July 7.-About
200 National Democrats met in State
convention to-day to nominate a state
ticket Judge Nathaniel French of
Davenport was temporary Chairman.
When, in his address, Grover Cleveland
was referred to in connection with the
Pullman strike, there was the widest
enthusiasm.
The convention was addressed by eX-
Congressman Frost of ST. Louis.
Letters were read addressed to Paul
Kerch, a German editor of Davenport,
from Grover Cleveland and Henry
Watterson. kilograms in reply were
ordered sent. Mr.. Cleveland's letter
was as follows:
ITO Paul Kerch-My Dear Sir: My
love to true Democracy is so intense
and my belief in the necessity of it's
supremacy to the welfare of the coun-
try is so clear that 1 cannot fail to
sympathize with every effort to save
the principles of my party from threat
ened abandonment. l believe the very
existence of true Democracy as an
agency of good to the American peO-
pie is in the hands of those who in
dOrse and are willing to be guided by
the declaration of principles announced
by the National Democratic party 1t
is high mission to thus have in keep
ing the life and usefulness of the party
which has deserved so we'll of our
countrymen and the important con-
sideratiOn involved should surely stim-
ulate to patriotic effort The work be-
fore us rises above partisan triumphs
and its immediate rewards. The ques-
tion is, are we doing our duty to our
country and to the principles of our
party? No success worth the name can
be reached except in the path of prin-
ciple. l hope the National Democrats
of Iowa will not wait to exhibit to
their fellows in every State the bright
light of true Democracy

nate the following ticket: Governor,

MURlER OF VIM. GULDEASyPPEv
THORN CONFESSES TO COMMIT.
TING THE CRIME.
Shot His Victim, Then Carved the
Body Up and Threw the
Pieces Into the River.

NEW YORK, July Positive iden-
tification of the man arrested last night
as Martin Thorn, the alleged confeder-
ate in the murder and dismemberment
of William Guldensuppe, was made to-
day.
Mrs. Shafton of Woodside, l.. T..
called at the police headquarters, and
after seeing Thorn, said that she had
seen him about the house in Woodsda
where Guldensuppe is supposed to have
been butchered.
Acting Inspector O'Brien said to-day
that he had a full confession from
Thorn, admitting that he had murdered
Guldensuppe, and giving all the details
of the crime.
Acting Inspector O'Brien thinks. he
knows where Thorn dropped the head
of Guldensuppe into the river, and says
he is going to arrange for the draggin z
of the river at that point this after
nOon
He also says that Thorn. in his con-
fession to a friend. said that he had
been disappointed in the house at
Woodside, as the drain from the bath
tub, instead of running into a sewer
IAN AlAlO QtlC1A OutSIUe lilS ilOuSS.
The confession which Acting Inspec-
tor O'Brien has in his possession, and
which presumably was made to John
Dolphs, the barber, who betrayed
Thorn. gives the full history of the
crime. According to this document
the murder was committed in the house
at Woodside which had been rented by
Mrs. Mack
According to the confession. Mrs
Mack drove out to the Woodside house
with Guldensuppe a week ago Satur-
day. Thorn, with revolver in hand
was concealed behind an inner door
Mrs. Mack sent her victim inside to
see how he liked the house." and on
his entering, Thorn shot him through
the head. The body was placed in
the bath tub and carved up. the sec
tions carefully made up in bundles and
then encased in plaster of paris. Mrs
Mack returned to the house in the af-
ternoOn when all was over. and driv-
ing with Thorn to the river, threw the
packages overheard. How one pack
age found its way to the woods the
confession does not say.
Thorn was taken into court and re-
manded till Friday, when Mrs. Mack
viii also be given a hearing. He had
apparently made no attempt to leave
New York after the murder, and made
no attempt at disguise beyond shaving
off his mustache. In Thorn's room
was found valise full of newspa per
clippings giving an account of the mur
der, which he had evidently taken from
newspapers.
woman who lives next door to the
Woodside house positively identified
Thorn as the man she saw in Mrs
Naek's company at Woodside. and a
Frenchman in the employ of Bualla,
who owns the Woodside cottage. also
recognized Thorn as the man who hired
the house.
Mrs. Mack is apparently unmoved
and refuses to discuss the case.
