MORE REVENUE.
Commissioner F0rman Says Internal Re-

ceipts show Marked Increase
WASHINGTON, Oct. 80. lit is possible
now to form an estimation Of the prob
able increase Of internal revenue re-
ceipts under the new tariff law" said
Commissioner Forman, of the Internal
revenue bureau yesterday. Continu-
ing, he said:
The Dingley tariff act made two changes In
the internal revenue law Itabolished the re-
bate Of ~ cents upon each barrel Of beer,
which had previously been allowed brewers
upon the purchase Of their internal revenue
stamps 1t doubled the internal revenue tax
upon cigarettes While In August there was o
decrease Of 1851, 90690 In the aggregate receipts
from internal revenue, occasioned by the ex-
cessive purchase Of beer stamps during the
month previous, in anticipation Of the abolish
ment Of the rebate, in September threre was an
increase Of aS45,S75.l4 in the aggregate re-
ceipts l estimate that the government
will gain this year about sS.O0]000 BY the
adjustment Of the beer rebate, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the large brewery companies
laid in heavy stock of old stamps In anticipa-
tion 1t is somewhat difficult to estimate the
increase in receipts from cigarettes. We will
gain about s5,oN,OOO, l think, by virtue Of the
act passed before the tariff law was enacted al
lowing bottling Of spirits in bond For the
months Of August and September the total In
crease in the tax on spirits over the same
months Of last year was a223s,9i446 The in

over the same period last year was 1850, $50 ~.
The apparent discrepancy between these
figures and the aggregate mentioned above
arises from the decrease in the item Of tax on

crime the better he would like It
Carrs desire for q speedy execution

will consume but little time AT the

county will convene. 1t Is probable
that the trial of Carr will be one Of the
first criminal cases taken up The
murderer has condemned himself. 1t
is stated that no reputable attorney in
the county will attempt anything
more than perfunctory defense for
Carr. Such is the intensity Of the
feeling against Carr in Clay county
that there will be but one sentiment
and in that the people will join with
unanimity that the child murderer
shall be executed at the earliest posi-
BILE moment.

STOCK YARDS CASE.
Judge Thayer's Opinion Handed
Down at Topeka, Kan.
STATE SUSTAINED ON EVERY POINT.
The Judge Holds That the State Has 4
Right to Regulate the Charges Of
the Stock Yards Company
An Appeal Taken.

TOPEKA, Kan. Oct 29.-The stock.
holders of the Kansas City Stock Yards
company met another crushing defeat
in the United States circuit court yes
terday. In lengthy opinion handed
down in the case filed to en-.
join the enforcement OF the new
Jaquins law, Judge Thayer decided
every point in favor Of the state. His
opinion was even more sweeping than
the one handed down by Judge Foster
recently in the same case. Judge
Thayer held that the state had right
to regulate the charges of the stock
yards company, that the new law
would enable the stockholders to re-
ceive a reasonable return on the CAPT.
tai invested, and that neither the ma
ture Of the business transacted by the
company nor the location of its yards
on each side Of the state line made it
interstate commerce
Judge Horton, representing the
stockholders, gave notice Of an appeal
to the United States supreme court
Judge Thayer apprehended that this
would be done, and in the opinion he
provided plan Of protection to the
stock shippers of the west while the
case was pending. He required the
company to put up bond in the sum OF
$2OO,OOO with the clerk of the federal
court to reimburse shippers for over
charges made during the time the case
is pending, and Judge Foster, in addi-
ton, ordered the company to give
shippers or their agents memoran-
dunn of charges collected for yardage
and feed SO that the overcharge could
be computed without trouble. If the
law is upheld, the shippers will bring
their memoranda into court and get
their rebates there instead of going to
the company for them. The old rates
are to remain in force until the case
is finally determined by the supreme
court.
The decree was drawn up yesterday
afternoon and entered on the docket.
1t is in accordance with the con tents
Of the opinion. The company is given
ten days in which to file the 5000, 900
bond Judge Horton says that the
bond will be ready by that time. He
also says that the case will be taken
up Immediately and that it will be
heard in the supreme court within
couple of years at least. The attorneys
for the state say that they will ask to
have the case advanced on the docket.
They claim that it is Of such vital gen.
eral Importance that the United States
supreme court will no doubt grant an
early hearing.
Judge Foster was very much pleased.
Judge Thayer had not only sustained
him on every point, but even went him
one better on one particular thing.
Judge Foster fixed SIS, 900 as the aver
age amount of money necessary to
keep up repairs at the yards annually.
Judge Thayer says in his opinion that
$50, 900 is sufficient.
