A Wet Time in 1855.

In view of the inclemency of the
weather OF the last two weeks, old
timers recall that the summer OF
1855 has been equaled by none in
the history of any one now living.
They say it actually rained every
day during the whole summer pc
Rod, and vegetation took on such
a rank growth that it was with
difficulty that much of it ..matured
before tall set in. Thousands of
dollars worth of crops were de-
stroyed by the dampness. These
old fellows also recall that the year
previous, 1854, was dry, but little
rain having fallen during period
of nearly three months. In that
year the cholera broke out in Pitts
burg and hundreds died from it

TEST CASE.
Express Ageut Arrested for not Using
Revenue Stamps.


The FIRST test case under the war
revenue law which has arisen in
West Virginia came 10 in Hunting
ton yesterday, when the agent OF
the Adams Express Company, NJ.
Frost, refuses 10 afix an internal
revenue stamp to the receipt for a
package which B. l.. Priddie was
sending to Parkersburg. Mr.. Prid-
die went before U. S. Commissioner
Bryan and swore out a warrant
against Frost, which was executed
and Frost was taken before the
Commissioner, who bound him
over in the sum of $500 to answer
indictment.
It has been held not only by the
commissioner of internal revenue,
but by U. S. commissioners in sew
eral states that the express com
panies and not their patrons must
stamp the bills of lading, but they
still refuse to do it. Il a trial OF
this kind can be had before the law
is repealed it may result in the
companies paying the tax.

A Sad Story.

In pleasant little home on the
outskirts of Mount Pleasant, Pa, a
young mother rocks her babe to
sleep. She faces the world alone.
Jesse Moss, the husband and father,
was among the first to fall at Man
lila. The grief of the Young wife
and mother Is made the more bitter
by the knowledge that the father
went to his death without ever hav-
ing seen his baby boy.
When the call came for the
Tenth to go to the Philippines
there was little or no time for good.
byes. It was with a heavy heart
that Private Moss, of company E,
pressed his young wife to his
breast, whispering to her words OF
cheer. Before the transports sailed
from San Francisco the message
went clicking over the wires to
Private Moss that he was father.
1t was with a glad heart that he
wrote the little wife and mother,
letting her know how proud he
was and how she should keep this
heaven-sent gift we'll and strong
until papa should come home from
war. He shouldered his gun and
sailed away across the broad Pacific
to fame-glory-death. The wife
is prossrated by the sad news.
Moss was a glass blower and was

member Of the Guard for four years.

Standard OIL Shares.

Noting the prominence into
which shares of the Standard OH
company came a short time ago,
says the New York Stakeholder,
our correspondent writes, l be-
lieve Standard oil sold at about
$50 and that it has lost 80 or 40 OF
the points upon the price. This
does not argue anything more than
speculation, at the same time fea-
lures insthe oil trade and in the oil
situation generally may be interest
ing, in view Of the breathing ont
into activity and fuctuating prices.
which Standard oil may show again,
without much apparent provoca-
ton.
There are many indications Of
impending changes, some Of very
mild character, almost too weak IN
effect to call tor notice, perhaps,
and yet in the aggregate the force,
becomes a respectable one, and one
exerting some influence worthy 6
note. While these, as rule are ia,
vorable to the outlook for the
Standard company, no one dares to-
be bold enough to say that compen-
sating influences do not exist, nor
that they could not be called into
existence.
Arguments that the Standard
Oil would be wiped out by the
cheapening of other light and fuel
articles have not been wanting ever
since the company got upon the
rock where it has long remained
established so firmly. But neither
gas, natural or artificial, nor cleo
tricity seems yet to have killed it,
or even dislodged it from its abid-
ing place. At the same time it has
had to meet divers and sundry con-
ditions, which have caused more or
less trouble, though, perhaps, its
actual anxiety, as to final results.
Just now, it is stated that the
government of Baden is to provide
an American company working in
dependently of the Standard with
storage grounds at Mannheim in
order to break there the Standard
monopoly. In Europe and Asia
generally incandescent oil light IS
being worked. the cost of which,
it is claimed, is one American cent
for one good light for over five
hours. Incidentally Java is report
ed as producing all the oil needed
there, while the export productions
OF Sumatri is fair y increa 'irg. The
Standard has made efforts to get in
to the producing business OF that
island, but the government seems.
bent on keeping the company ont,
fearing the extent of its grasp if
once it is allowed an entrance.
Sumstra oil is restricting the use
of Russian and American oil in the
far east, and in fact is fast driving
it out of that territory.

RULINGS
AS to the War Revenue Tax
Which Will Interest People
OF Tyler COunty-Deeds 10 properly
Conveyed for Love and Aztec
tfOn'' Must be Taxed for
Their Full Value.

Some importantrul1ngs have been
made by the treasury department
regarding the war revenue tax,
which are of great importance to
all citizens of Tyler county. Ac-
cording to a ruling deed which
for 81 and love and affection con-
veys piece of real estate is meas
ured by the money value OF the
property 50 conveyed and stamp
tax must be imposed accordingly.
If a property worth $1,000 is for
the purpose of escaping stamp tax,
conveyed for 81 and "love and affec-
tion," the love and affection is
given hard cash value of $4,000
and stamp tax imposed according
ly. The effect of this ruling will
be to greatly reduce the number of
conveyances in which affection
bears more important part than a
money consideration. The decision
rendered by the department is as
follows:
LOVE AND AFFECTION DEEDS.
Deeds where property is given,
as for instance from husband to
a wife, etc., are not exempt from
taxation. Such deeds must be
stamped for the true value of the
property thus conveyed.
Deeds made for the purpose of
curing defect must be stamped
for the full value Of the property
described.
Releases of mortgages and trust
deeds require ten cent stamp. If
they are instruments which recon-
vey the title to the mortgagor they
must be stamped for the full
amount of the property except
where the local laws require an
entry of satisfaction On record.
Deeds to lots in cemeteries; if not
granting, assigning, transferring or
conveying to the purchaser any
lands tenemeuts or other realty,
but only the right of burial and to
erect monuments, no tax IS re-
quired. '
County fairs, or agricultural So
cities giving county fairs, must pay
a $40 tax for exhibitions, which in
cludes horse races. Exhibition of
speed on county fair race tracks is
not held to be a circus. All side
shows given in the vicinity of a
county fair, and which charge ad-
mission, must pay $40. If the fair
pays 500 tax, all other exhibitions
are exempt from taxation.
Probate count papers, such as
letters of administration, letters tes-
tamentary or guardianship, or, in
fact, all probate papers, except
J bonds accompanying them, are free.
No stamp is required on certifi-
cate of tax sale for unpaid taxes.
Ordinary rent receipts require no
revenue stamp, but if the receipt
contains clause or phrase relative
to a contract for rent or use of prop
erty it then requires stamp.
Where an insurance policy is
pledged for the security of a loan it
must be taxed, irrespective of the
value OF the policy, but for the
amount loaned.
All renewals of bonds must be
stamped.
