The DAILY LEADER mas al! along
m maintained thai: the big vote for Gov.
Lee Is easily and honestly accounted for
50 long AS the combined vote on all can
d!dates for the governorship did not ex-
coed the total vote cast. Nor does it
matter how big majorities Tom, Dick
and Harry got on the republican ticket.
though having fewer votes than Gov.
Lee, so long IA Gov. Lee got no more
votes than we're cast. Gov. Lee WAS the
most popular candidate in the last cam
paign and III proportion TO his party
strength got more votes than any man
that run on any of the tickets, aud it is
not surprising that the count shows
what appears to be a peculiar anamoiy,
bat which is not. Our position Is am
ply fortified by u table OF the vote cast
in forty seven OF the counties OF the
state ia Yesterdays Sioux Falls Press,
which shows the excess OF votes cast on
certain county offices over the combined
vote cast for the Office Of governor. The
excess ia these counties is 1850. And
yet the Press fails to note the fact that
there is probably not a case on record
where ever the vote on 9 county office
shows the total vote OF q county on all
Offices; and. il it were known, there -
probably not the full vote Ut M pre-
clnct 10 the state recorded in favor OF
Any c-unty Office, aud yet what were re-
corded exceeded the votes on governor
by l,GJO. Two Thousand more votes ia
the state not all appearing on any one
Office can safely be added to these,
which Gov. Lee did not get or any other
candidate for governor did not get, and
We. might have gotten. So that there
10 a wide margin left for the conclusion
that Gov. Lee got very few, if any, ilIe-
gal votes. As to comparing his vote
with Burke's to show that the latter re-
celved fewer votes han Lee and yet had
q big majority. this same table OF the
Press shows that Mr.. Burke run 5000
votes behind the highest republican
votes ia these same counties. Not very
ereditable to Mr.. Burke, indeed; but it
is on the strength OF such an odioue
comparison that Messrs. Herried and
Orr OF the republican state committee
are making themselves ridiculous az po'
litical soreheads and kiokers against the
honest verdict OF the people.

1t is more than probable that the con-
test threatened against Gov. Lee by the
republican machine is lone with a view
to forcing q compromise with Gov. Lee
on the prosecution OF Kirk Phillips for
the illegal taking OF state funds as in.

tors will tind that Gov. Lee would sooner
b illegally counted out Of Office tina,

FROM BULK TO BOTTLES
New 1ulings Of Internal Revenue
Commissioner Scott

New Hulings Of Internal Revenue
Commissioner Scott
Commissioner Scott has modified his de-
cision Of July s concerning wine IN bottles
His former ruling held that wine trans
ferred from bulk packages to bottles must
have revenue stamps at once affixed
Dealers have since called his attention to
the liability Of stamps being destroyed or
effaced In the storage for considerable
length Of time In damp and cool places for
the necessary aging purposes. The COM
missioner replied that as 1t Is the inten-
ton Of tho internal revenue department to
make the burden as easy as possible, con-
sistent with the law on the taxpayer, he
will modify his former ruling in so far that
when foreign and domestic wines are trans
ferred from bulk packages to bottles in an
immature state for storage in bins for
aging purposes the wine 80 transferred Will
not be regarded as having been bottled
for sale' until such time as 1t arrives at a
marketable condition, and the stamping Of
bottles may be deferred until then. As soon
as the wines are in marketable condition
the liability to tax at once attaches and the
stamp must be affixed. The affixing Of
stamps or labels to such bottles will be TAX
en- as conclusive evidence that they are
bottled for sale, and II the proper stamps
have not been attached prior to that time
the bottle mus. be stamped without fail
when the caps and labels are affixed. Where
wines are sold by dealers and delivered in
bottles It will be presumed that they were
bottled for sale, within the meaning of the
law and they must be stamped accordingly.
Documentary and proprietary revenue
stamps issued prior to June 49, 1898, under
former revenue laws cannot be used for
the payment Of taxes required by existing
laws, and the redemption or exchange Of
such old stamps is prohibited by law.
Ordinary postage stamps, except such as
were imprinted with the letters l. r. by the
bureau Of engraving and printing
and furnished to collectors as doc
umentary stamps, cannot be used
for payment Of any internal revenue taxes.
Revenue stamps imprinted on checks,
drafts, orders or other papers will not be
redeemed.
Documentary and proprietary stamps
cannot be used interchangeably. Docu-
mentary stamps only must be used upon
papers. documents and instruments sub
ject to tax, as provided in schedule A..
Only proprietary stamps must be used upon
articles and thingss in schedule B.
Where stamp Of the proper denomina-
tion to pay the tax due on an article or doc
ument cannot be procured. two or more
stamps may be used. In such case, as few
stamps as possible should be attached and
each stamp should be Cancelled.
A bank debit ticket IL an order for the
payment Of a sum Of money drawn by an
offlcer or employe Of the bank, by direction
Of the depositor, from funds deposited by
said depositor. and as such requires a

From the Ranks

To the Editor of The Los Angeles Herald:
A published interview In this mornings
Examiner, in which Colonel Berry gives
what he claims to be the opinion Of the Of
ficers and men Of the Seventh in regard to
the action of the Los Angeles war board.
In trying TO have US mustered out OF the
service, has set the camp boiling, and 1t Is
difficult to tell what the outcome will be.
Ono thing Is sure. The men will do some
thing TO let the public know how they feel
about It.
Knowing that many people Of Southern
California read the Examiner and fearing
that they will take the words Of Colonel
Berry as representing tho feeling among
the enlisted men of the Seventh. l beg you
to publish this letter:
Colonel Berry says:
The effort to have tho command mus
tered out is in direct opposition to the
wishes Of the officers and majority Of
the enlisted men Of the regiment
OF the officers he speaks the truth. They
are getting big wages, having a good time
and none Of them are dying of. Everyone
knows why they want to remain In the
service.
But he does not tell the truth about the
men, and he knows 1t. He knows that PEI
tition was started in this regiment, over
week ago, to be mustered out; that l2rge
majority Of the men in the comI0 MES where
that petition circulated, signed It and that
everything was done by the officers, under
his orders, to suppress It, even to threats
Of the guard house and court-martial That
petition has mysteriously disappeared and
It is believed that the officers have 1t.
We believe. and have good reason TO be-
lieve. that were tho officers to have their
way We would stay right here for the bal
ance Of our two years. enlistment 3. j.,
Our friends in the south know that we are
ready and anxious to serve our country In
any way they see fit to use u, but what we
do object to Is being held In the service
when we are not needed and seeing our
comrades dying of one by one simply that
| few officers may line their pockets on a
fat salary.
In closing wish to say to the good people
Of Southern California that at least ninety
per cent Of the enlisted men Of this regi-
ment are ready and anxious to be mustered
out and will heartily thank them for their
efforts in our behalf
We are where we cannot and dare not
help ourselves. for we would be made to
suffer for 1t in some way, 80 all help must
| come from the outside.

BOB THOMPSON GETS EVEN WITH
KID PARKER
CARSON CITY CLIMAX
Corbett's Finish Found an Echo at the
Athletic Club-The Defeated
Man Wanted More

Bob Thompson last night redeemed his r.
round defeat by kid" Parker last October
by defeating his former opponent, Parker.
In fifteen rounds. There was no knockout,
but Referee Brink gave a perfectly Just
verdict, as the fight was Thompson's from
start to finish. Parker demonstrated that
he Is as game a fighter as ever stepped into
the ring, and although punished In unmer-
ciful fashion by his colored opponent. he
would always come back after each lead,
ready to renew the exchange of blows.
There was quite a dramatic occurrence
at the conclusion Of the tight, an incident
strongly reminiscent Of the memorable
defeat Of Corbett by the mighty Fitzsim-
mons at Carson City. After Parker had
been led to his corner and the decision had
been awarded to Thompson the latter
walked over 10 shake hands with Parker,
but, chagr1ned over his unexpected defeat,
Parker sprang up and furiously struck at
Thompson. The latter warded of the blow
then clinched and held the white man, to
try and pacify him, but It was useless. The
more Parker was pleaded with the angrier
he became. and WREN the men were sepa-
rated and Thompson led away Parker
rushed savagely after him crying: "1'll kill

DiSGUSTfD KLONDIKfR
FRED GRIDLEY SAYS 1T Is A
TERRIBLE COUNTRY
He Prospected for Months and Found
Nothing, and Sold Three Claims
for $500

Police Clerk Gridley has received letter
from his brother Fred. who went to Alaska,
and has returned, being now at Seattle.
Mr.. Gridley does not mince matters in his
estimate of that frozen country and ne
gives the place a black eye. For two
months, he states, he was prospecting
along the streams running into the Yukon
river between the Stewart river and Daw-
son and found nothing. After deciding that
there was no further use to waste time In
that vicinity he started down the country
to Dawson and was eight days making the
trip. He made 1t alone, which is regarded
as very dangerous undertaking, and dur
ing the time he was travelling he says he
does not think he got more than three hours
of good sleep.
After remaining at Dawson few days,
he struck for the upper Klond!ke. In COM
pany with a partner. he prospected four
weeks without discovering anything except
that the partner waa too lazy to work, so,
to quote Gridley, he Shook him and re-
turned to Bonanza, went up El Dorado and
over the mountains down into the Indian
river country. He again tried 1t alone, with
the result that he lay for three weeks sick
In a cabin. with no one to walt on him and
he nearly died. He then worked on a claim
on Ell Dorado creek for 81 an hour, but as
the days were very short he could not make
much more than 81 each day. and when his
expenses for grub at the rate Of 90 cents a
pound were substracted 1t left him but a
nominal sum. The mine work is not so hard
as prospecting. Gridley thinks, because a
man Is constantly IN one place and has a
cabin to sleep in and gets his meals reg
ularly. while on prospecting trip he had
to undergo privations and sufferings OF all
sorts.
After the work on the mine played out
Gridley returned to Dawson and worked at
carrentering. He staked out three claims.
but realized only $500 from them. Every
thing in that country Is Just the same, he
says, today as 1t was last winter year ago.
There have been no strikes made since the
first excitement. The only way people
made money was by jumping claims or
specializing.
When he came out Of the country Gridley
went around by the Minook. He thinks
that there Will yet be big strikes made in
that locality, although the American min
Ing laws make It possible for handful Of
men to collar all the tributaries of a river.
1t is the most inaccessible country imagin,-
able.
Regarding the class Of men that should go
to the Klondike, Gridley IL positive in the
contention that no person over 40 years Of
age ought to visit that place and only those
who have strong constitutions.
The changes in temperature are too sud
den for an old man. 80 Disguised Is Grid
ley with the country and his experience,
that he says II ever he is accused Of having
visited Alaska he will deny 1t and claim a
case Of mistaken identity.

To Die tho N,o.r.auan Canal


The war with Spain has opened this
country's eyes to the Importance of short
route between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans. By digging canal few miles
long at the isthmus Of Panama, thousands
of miles of travel can be saved. At the
present tine our ships must go all the way
around South America. taking many weeks
to accomplish the journey. A short route
Is always an advantage. 1t saves time and
money. The journey from sickness to
health can be quickly made at moderate
cost by taking Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
While its action In disorders like constipa-
ton, biliousness, indigestion, headache,
fever and ague and general weakness Is
quick, still 1t does not force cure. 1t mere
ly gives that little assistance In carrying of
the waste matter and removing the cause
of weakness that nature occasionally needs.
II makes the sick well, ard keeps the
healthy from becoming sick.
