Revenue Receipts.

The receipts of the internal revenue
of the Milwaukee district during July
exceed those of any previous month in
the history of the office Collector
Fink has reported that ST, OPS, 238.50
worth of stamps were sold during the
month. This heavy sale was due to
the desire of the brewers to get as
large a supply of stamps as possible
before the tariff law went into effect.
The receipts from the sale of beer
stamps alone amounted to 1871, 52505
and these would have been still larger

the negotiations had been under way
for several weeks. Everything had
gone smoothly, he said, and unless
something unforeseen should occur the
consolidation would be effected.
The men who are arranging the re-
organization, according to statements
of Mr.. Sullivan and others, are Col.
Albert Pope, of the Pope Manufacture
ing company, A. G.. Spalding, of
Spalding Bros, the American Welded
Tube company, Edward Warwick, Ell.

al others, principally Englishmen, who

MAY BE A BREAK.
A Movement to Do Away With L. A. w.
Control Of Races.

COnGrOl OF Races.
A movement has been started in the
Illinois and Wisconsin divisions of the
L. A. W. to do away with league con-
troll of bicycle races. The Milwaukee
board Of consuls had under considera-
ton a resolution declaring in favor of
such a change of policy, and if the reso-
luton carries it is intended to secure
the Endorsement of the division and Of
the league in other states.
The movement is, however,. by DO
means confined to the Illinois and
Wisconsin divisions, but those of other
adjacent states are also at outs with
the national board, and all because Of
the red tape which is slowly but surely
strangling the national organization.
Burley B. Ayers, recently elected
secretary of the Chicago consulate, has
tried since assuming the cares of his
office to prop up the tottering structure
of the Chicago branch of the league.
His efforts seemed fruitless and he
looked about for the cause, which he
found to be the utter disregard for the
rights of wheelmen as expressed in the
rules of the league.

The worst snow storm for six years

but other traffic is badly delayed. The
Norfolk passenger is held at Columbus

At Fremont the storm was very 80.

wind which piled mp the n o In large

north and west were all about on time.
AT York the storm prevailed all day
Sunday, and a strong wind piled the
snow up In drifts. '
The storm at Wayne was very severe
on stock and will cause hardship to- the
farmers.
At Nelson about three inches OF snow
fell accompanied by u high wind which
kept the snow flying.
Omaha seems to have escaped the
worst Of the storm, but the trains en-.
teripg the city during the day were
all somewhat late. The street car
lines were bndly crippled and necessi-
