A SiCkenlng Smell.

Yesterday afternoon as the reporter
was travelling east on San Antonio
street he was stopped by the shrieks OF
q property bolder on that street. The
reporter stopped and was treated to the
following, which, of course, was great
~ enjoyed: "Whst in hi j. the matter
with the city authorities. There layssa
dead dog out in that feld.that stinks 80
bad that the neighbors in this vicinity
cannot stand it We reported the
matter to the chief of police and to
the city scsvenger yesterday and
neigher OF them have paid any at-
tention to it. It is disgrace
to the city to have the tax-psy-
ers subjected to this kind of treatment
and 1 wish you would mention it in as
strong words as possible in the HER
AID" The dead dog complained Of is
on the commons between St.
Vrain and Hill streets on San Antonio
and thrOws out . very
sickening odor. Yesterday afternoon
a crowd of workmen employed by ]. G.
Roman, piled several feet of dirt on top
of the dog and confined the objection
able smell strictly to the dog. It Is
very dangerous this time of the year to
allow dead animals to decay in the hot
sun, especially in q country where
smallpox thrives.

when taken to No police station a razor
was found in his possession and the ad-

1t is desired, both by the prosecuting

a test case is to be made ii will be that of
a dealer who is able to secure proper
counsel and allow the case to be properly
tested. King is a poor man, who by no

STAMP TAX IN WALL STREET.
Governing Committee of Stoc-> Ex-
change Will Say Who Pays IL.

New York, June 2l.-There will be
meeting of the governing committee Of
the Stock Exchange this afternoon. when
a ruling Will probably be made in regard
to the question of who shall pay the
stamp tax Of two cents per 500 par value
on all sales Of stocks. The other and
far more important question of who is 70
pay the whr tax of 81 on each sale OF 100
shares of stock will also be considered
No action has yet been taken by the
banks of this city in the matter of the
stamp tax on checks. but it is assumed
that the same rules that obtained during
the civil war will be employed. The
stamp tax law becomes operative on July
/. After that date the banks will have
no legal right to recognize a check unless
il is stamped as prescribed by law. The
banks and large mercantile houses VIII
arrange to have the tax stamps printed
on their checks.
Money lenders in Wall Street declare
that the coming tax on call loans can be
legally avoided. The wording of the law
on this point seems to make the stamp
obligatory on notes or written obliga-
tions to pay. Therefore. the money lend
ers argue. where no notes are given no
stamp will lie required. II is noteworthy
that some banks demand notes while
others do not. Ii goes without saying
that under the new law borrowers will
patronIze such banks as do not ask for
notes.
