TAX ON MARRIAGE
Is Exciting Much Controversy at Mil
Waukee,

Milwaukee, July 14.-Does a man
have to help to pay for the war with
Spain if he gets married? This is a
problem which is puzzling the revenue
department and register of vital s4a-
tistics. Revenue Collector Henry Fink
holds that he does.
The clergymen who storm around MT.
Coon's window hold that he does not.
The law does not specifically mention
marriage certificates as being taxable,
but after enumerating the documents
and certificates that must bear the rev.
enue stamps 1t states in general terms.
that certificates of any other descrip-
ton required by law and not otherwise
specified in this act shall have affixed
thereto a 10-cent stamp"
Collector Fink says there is no doubt
that this includes marriage certificates
None of the ministers or magistrates
in this city who have performed the
ceremony since July 1 have affixed
stamps to any of the certificates which
were issued, at least none of them
have appeared at the revenue Office
asking for stamps, and no certificates
with stamps have been filed with the
registrar of vital statistics.
1t is claimed that if necessary to COM
pei the ministers to comply with the
law, that a special deputy will be APP
pointed to investigate the marriage
business and to see that every minister
has a sufficient supply of revenue
stamps and affixes them to the certih-
Gates.

Remarkable Case of Poisoning Results
in Death

st. Lotus, July 14.-Chronic arsenicaI
poisoning was the cause of the death
Of Paul Steger, a farmer, at the Alex
ian Brothers hospital. The case was
one of the strangest ever treated at the
hospital.
Steger lived on a well regulated farm
short distance from town. He made
weekly trips to the city. bringing In
garden truck to the market. He made a
speciality of raising potatoes. This year
potato bugs made heavy inroads on his
crop. A friend advised him to use Paris
green He did so. He used the poison
frequently.
A month ago Steger began to grow
stouter. his face grew rudy and friends
remarked on his seeming good health.
A little over a week ago he suddenly
fell i'll and was removed to the hOspi-
tai There his case was diagnosed as
chronic arsenicaI poisoning. Doctors
worked hard to save the mans life, but
were not successful. The physicians
say he was poisoned through the too
frequent use of Paris green on his bed

NEW ARMY CAMPS NEEDED.
Troops May Be Moved to New York
City and Newport News

Washington, July 1.-THE war depart
ment has in contemplation the estab-
lishment of camps farther north than
those now esta blished, and bids have
been invited from leading railroads for
the transportation Of troops from
Chickamauga and Camp Alger for
points in the vicinity of Newport News
and New York city. Both these points
furnish special advantages with their
extended terminal facilities, and splend-
id harbors for the embarkation of
troops.
There has been considerable dissatis-
faction with the location of Camp Al
ger, and it is probable the war depart
ment has the removal of the troops
from Camp Alger to a location in the
vicinity of Newport News In mind. The

A HEROIC DEED.
Kentucky Trooper Killed While Try
ing to Save Comrade.

Louisville, KY, July IA story of
heroism in the ranks has been brought
out through inquiries made as to the
fate Of a trooper in the First cavalry.
The list of the dead sent out by the As
ISOLATED Press after the battle of FL
Caney on July 1 included the name c.
D. Jacob. Charles D. Jacob, Jr., en-
listed in Louisville in the First cavalry.
He was son of Charles D. Jacob, four
times mayor of this city. His parents
could not believe the name in the list
was their son. But the following tele-
gram received today settles the doubt:
Fort Mcpherson, Ga, July III learn
from a wounded trooper Of the First
cavalry in the hospital here of the
death Of Charles D. Jacob, Jr., July l,
while attempting to carry First Ser
geant Barry, of his troop, who had been
wounded by Spanish sharpshooters, out
of the line of the fire of the enemy. AT
the time Of the death of Jacob four
troops of the First cavalry were lying
concealed behind an embankment about
a half mile from the trOchaS surround
ing San Juan, where were located the
heavy batteries protecting the approach
to Santiago awaiting commands, when
an observation balloon settled just in
the rear of them and attracted the fire
Of the Spanish sharpshooters and light
artillery. First Sergeant Barry, being
upon the embankment, was wounded
and Jacob, seeing he would be killed
unless Immediately brought to cover,
promptly ran forward and was at
tempting to carry him out of the line Of
fire when struck in the head by a
shrapnel and instantly killed. He also
received several bullet wounds.
I have this information from several
eye witnesses, all of whom were COM
rades in his troop and well acquainted
with him. Jacob was buried about nine
miles from Ell Caney, between FL Caney
and San Juan. His grave is marked by
a wooden head piece. (Signed)

thence to Japan, the latter section to

GREASE IN MILK.
Kansas City Wrestling With New
Kind of Fraud.

Kansas City, July 14.-Mikmen, who
are the most persistent and trouble
some law breakers in town, have now
a new scheme to fool the authorities
and swindle the public 1t is known
as fake cream and its make up can't
be determined except by chemical anal
ysis.
When Mr.. Shirk discovered that milk
and cream, which was plainly not pure
milk and cream, nevertheless came up
to the tests for butter fats, he threw
APP his hands in despair.
1t is said that the fake cream" is
made from skim milk with sweet oil
or some other grease, more commonly
used in oiling machinery, whipped into
it to fool the tester.
The tester simply removes the but
ter fats and hence is fooled by the
loaded skim milk. Samples of the
fake cream" are now in the hands OF
the chemist to find what on earth the
milkmen put in it.
Not only do the milkmen defy the
city to rid itself of their believing cows
and grunting swine, but they have now
attacked the coffee cup of the public.
