SCRIPT NOT TAXABLE.
Far-ReaChing Decision Rendered
at Cleveland Regarding Gas
Company Certificates.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 10.--The circuit
court today declared that the taxation OF
script of the Cleveland Gas Light and
Coke company is illegal. The decision is
far reaching. About 100000 that had
been added to the tax roll as taxes upon
gas certificates was involved in the ques-
ton. By the decision of the court the
county will lose the amount.
The case decided was that Of s. T.
Adams ct al. executors of the estate of
Moses G. Younglove against County
Treasurer Joseph Shields Younglove
held large number of script certificates
in the gas company which he did not re-
turn for taxation. The county treasurer
added ST., 740 to the Youngloye estate, in
Guiding penalties. The plaintiffs won
their suit in the common pleas court and
the county appealed the case to the cir
cult court The circuit court affirmed the
decision of the lower court and ordered
the injunction against the county treas
urer made perpetual.
The court in its decision said that a
surplus belongs to a corporation and the
corporation must pay taxes upon it until
it is paid out in dividends 1t held that
there were two kinds of script certificate ties.
One kind was a promise to pay a certain
amount OF dividend at q certain time
These were held to be taxable. The other
form OF script was certificates promising
10 issue certain amount of stock. These
were not taxable for the corporation issu-
ing them did not part with any of its sur
plus capital

BACK ON FRIENDLY BASIS.
Prospective Resumption of Relations
with Spain.

Washington. D. c., Dec 10.-In view
of the approaching signature of the peace
treaty the government will be obliged
very speedily to take steps looking to the
restoration of the diplomatic machinery
necessary to friendly relations with
Spain. SO far the President has not Civ
en- much consideration to the selection of
a United States minister to Madrid. The
recent visit to the white house of Mr..
WoodfOrd, late minister to that capital,
has been enormously construed to indi-
cate Il determination ON the part of the
President to return the minister to Ma
drid. AS a matter Of fact this is improb-
able, as the whole line of diplomatic prec-
edent is in the direction of wiping out all
old issues and starting afresh after q
war with new ministers on both sides.
The reappOintment of Mr.. WoOdfOrd
might mean the return to Washington of
Senior Polo Y Bernabe, whose residence
in Canada during the war rendered him
so obnoxious to the American public.
If custom is followed either the next
United States minister to Madrid. or the
next Spanish minister to Washington,
will be accredited with credentials as Il
special envoy to exchange the ratifica-
tons of the treaty now being negotiated
at Paris. Having fulfilled the function
he will then present his credentials as
minister resident and remain in that ca
pacity. Just which of the ministers will
be called upon to perform this function
depends upon the place selected by the
Paris commissioners for the exchange of
final notifications

A Curious Michiga Freak.


Ever since the notable cyclone Of 1896,
which swept Oakland and portion of La
peer counties, in Michigan, the people liv-
ing in the vicinity of the Hadley hills
have found these picturesque mountains
in chaos. 1t is believed by many of them
that certain amount of electricity thrown
from the force of that cyclone upon the
sides of these vast mounds of earth still
remains there. Let wind start and in
crease in velocity, and the farmer will
seek shelter at once. just after election
these places were visited by Perry and
Marion Hines, father and son, respec-
lively. In going around these hills, which
were covered with snow, they found the
snow in a disturbed condition. The wind
had apparently formed a twirl and start
ed the snow enough to make it roll, and
before stopping would increase from the
size of a common baseball to that of a
mans head. Not only was this found in
one place, but several localities in that
vicinity

Cleveland, O.. Dec 1O.-Gen. Nelson A
Miles and Frederick Remington. the art
ist, have commenced suit in the United
States circuit court against the Werner
company of Akron and Richard 2. Mar
vim, receiver of the company, because of

from New England to the Golden Gate. y
embracing the story of his Indian cam
paign, and illustrated with pictures by
frederick Remington and other artists.

right. The Werner company had con
tract to publish the book but under the
agreement the illustrations were to be
used solely for that book Tie plaintiffs
allege that the defendants have unlaw-
fully published a volume under the title
of "Remingtons Frontier Sketches. )"
which IS an Infringement upon the copy
right tor the reason that the identical re-
production of Remington's sketches are
reprinted IL that book.

In Memory OF Frances Willard.

Lady Henry Somerset is doing much to
perpetuate the memory of Frances Will
lard in England. During her retirement
at Eastnor castle Lady Henry has been
busy modelling clay. Among other sub
jects she has statuette of Miss Willard
her friend and fellow worker in the tenn
perance cause. The statuette is about IS
inches high and represents Miss Willard
with her left hand extended, an attitude
characteristic of her when speaking in
public. Her dress falls in soft, graceful
folds, and Miss Wizards fine features
and abundant hair have been faithfully
reproduced. A number of casts have been
taken; these are to be ivory tinted and
sold for the benefit Of the Duxhurst indus
trial farm colony.
