Jim O. the Woods Dead.

James L. Mudica, who made
"Growler Gulch'' famous to Argo
readers through his letters to this
paper from that section OF Auburn
township, is dead, dying at his home
near Cresco, last week, from quick
consumption. Mudica was man of
considerable literary ability, but he
lived under hard conditions all his
life, and all the education he had was
secured by study after the tolls Of the
day, and when he might better have
been in bed recuperating his strength
for the hard work of the morrow.
He was tireless toiler and it was
probably overwork and worry that
that Slapped his vitality and led to his
early death.
Had poor Jim's horoscope been cast
under a brighter star his life might
have been different, for he had posi-
bilities within him which would have
developed rich pay streak had the
Fates permitted him to work the
claim. AS it was he was a good deal
better than his unhappy environment.
Peace to his ashes.-West Union

duty on tea and S10,0O0,G0O from the in,
creased tax on beer. ] have some doubt
whether tho increased rate of duty on pre-
pared opium will result in increasing the
revenue. When the duty on opium was
~ a pound in 1898. the quantity imported on
which duly was paid was 66,673S pounds.
valued at $l17.65S. and the duty amounted
to 3s00,1ts. while in 1890. when the duty was
six dollars q pound. we imported 236436
pounds valued at ssoS.3l5.43, and the
amount OF duty collected was S741 ,261. &c; the
great difference in the quantity reported
In 1898 and 1886 is explained by the fact tina,
while the higher duty remained, the arti-
Gle was constantly smuggled. SO that the
quantity which actually reached the coun-
try was much larger than the statistics Of
imports will show. With duty of six
dollars per pound there is not sufficient
proAt for the smuggler to induce him to
engage in such hazardous enterprise. 1t
may be that q duty of eight dollars pound
10 not so high as to encourage smuggling,
and that we Will have no difficulty coll
