of agriculture into a department result
ed in vast benefits to all engaged in this
important industry. Thus far matters
of statistics pertaining to commercial
affairs have been under the control of
the treasury and the state departments,
with the result that informa ton, while
available in either Of these depart
ments, has not been so widely dissent
mated as it might have been, because
the people, being ignorant of the exact
source to which to apply in specific
cases, have failed to apply at all. The
treasury department has Its bureau Of
statistics bearing upon a variety Of
matters relative to commercial affairs,
but at the same time much information
of equal value has been collected by
the state department through its, con-
sular service and not so deliberately
distributed.
The suggestion that a distinct bureau
Of commercial intelligence be con-
Quoted under the treasury department
or the department Of the interior seems
orportune, and, as 1t comes from an
Intelligent source, evidence is thus af-
forded that 1t Is needful. The plan out
lined is for direct communication, by
the bureau, with all the consular off,
GERS OF the United States, and special
agents from time to time appointed,
schedule to be formulated covering
every industry in every part of the
world and on return to be grouped in
an annual report embracing the entire
subject. 1t is known that such bureaus
exist in European countries. The pres
emit is regarded as timely for the intro
ductior of the system here, in view Of
the evident Importance which the Unit
ed States is already assuming in con-
nection with the commerce of the
world.
The author of the suggestion adds:
In addition to the advantages above
stated, the inauguration Of such a sys-
tenn would be Of undoubted value in i'm
proving the character of our consular
repre- sentation, as men not having suff1-
Gent intelligence and information to
carry on such work would not seek
and would not be appointed. as is now
the case, to such positions.

FOR STAMPS NOT AFFIXED.
Patent Medicine Men and Druggists
Must Make Up Taxes.


Druggists and dealers in articles liable to
taxation under the stamp law who have
been selling those articles without having
the necessary stamps, must bestir them
selves and comply with the law or they will
IND that they made themselves liable to a
penalty tpat may be oppressive in some cases.
When the stamp tax went into effect July
1t was understood that dealers having
stocks on hand might go on and dispose of
them without stamps, 1t being provided that
they, would make return under oath of the
goods so sold. The collector of customs
later was supplied with the stamps NO dful
for this line of goods, but there is an obvious
lack of interest the part of some dealers
to obtain the stamps. Now the department
has sent out a warning, and returns must BE-
made at once. or the penalty will go into
effect. Nearly every druggist In the state
Is interested, and the collector has furnished
the following notice to the press as the only
way Of reaching the delinquents
The commissioner of internal revenue has
issued a circular to collectors calling at
tention to the fact that many druggists and
dealers in articles subject to tax under
Schedule B, not being able to obtain stamps
on July 1, sold goods without the necessary
stamps. They are now required to furnish
sworn statement to the collector of the
district as to the goods so sold and the
amount of tax due and remit to him the
amount of said tax. A failure to render this
statement under oath within thirty days
from Aug. %, 1885, will subject them to the
penalty imposed by section 20 of the act Of
June b. which penalty will be enforced in
all cases where the statement is not fur
nished. Fred Won Baurnbach

Woman Who Has Been Spy, Miner

She is woman of Southern birth and edu-

was sent away by her father. Instead of
going where her father meant her to go. she
came West, married and continued her dash
ing, outdoor life. Suddenly she was left a
widow with little girl and no means of
support She knew nothing of the things
women usually turn their hands to and after
much thought pitched her tent in a mining
district and went to prospecting on capital
of s.. There were two months Of vain
searching and weary tramping-each days
work ending in a night of weeping. Finally
the little girl brought to her mother piece
of rock which looked as II it might be val
liable. Mrs Rikert had it tested, and four
months later had $4,000 In the bank and
was operating silver mine whose ore yield
ed as high as $9, GOO to the ton. Then she
went to Melumne and there located val
uab.e gold mines all the time trying to get
capitalists to put a railroad through that
section Of the country, Finally she became
a company of women with a capital stock or
81 100000 and is putting in the sixty miles of
railroad herself. Mrs. Rikert is president
Of the company and is well up in railroad
construction, having made a careful study
of it as she has of mining There is small
doubt but that she will make success Of

WORK OF RED CROSS.
Surgeon General Sternberg Explains
His Position.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-The fol-
lowing statement regarding the medi-
cal corps Of the army and the Amer
lean National Red Cross society. was
given out by Surgeon General stern
berg today:
Owing to the pressure of my official duties
l nave not heretofore felt justified in taking
the time to make an explanation with refer
ence to my attitude towards the American

The Endless Chain.

Mr.. Feldhauser is beginning to real
lie what it is to set an endless chain
going. The rotary motion Is becom-
ing gently accelerated, and he thinks
he can already detect a peculiar hum
in the distance, resembling that which
falls upon the ears as one approaches
the business locality of a buzz saw,
On Sunday, he thought that possibly
he might receive fifteen letters yes
terday. Instead Of that, he looked
somewhat scared late in the day when
the thirtieth epistle to st. Paul dropped
into his hand. and swelled the DAYS
receipts to $780, He began to form
some idea Of what is before him when
he opened one Of the envelopes and
found that 1t contained a contribution
from the sixth series. II this series
should be completed, the total receipts
will approximate $4,000
A better plan could not have been
devised for interesting every one in
the creation Of the public library fund.
The G b takes pleasure in printing
form OF the letter to be used. By
following the directions given. every
one may become active in effecting the
good work sought to be accomplished.
1t is most important, however. that
none OF the links be broken, and that
replies should. in every instance, be
secured. The small contribution OF
20 cents is mere trifle to any one re-
ceiving a letter, when the object is
considered.

LA CROSSE, Aug. 2e.-Mr. Todd
cashier Of the Preston, Mimi. bank

confession, in which he claims he gave
to J. r. Clements. of this city, the
entire deposits Of the bank. about $780,
eoO. A delegation of Preston officials
and citizens called on Clements today.
and Clements told them the only money
paid him by the bank was $4,000 a
year, as his share of the profits, one
third of $4,000 capital stock and $500
for fixtures. He said, if he was not
entitled to this money, he would re-
fund 1t, as ne wants no dishonest dol
lar. Mr.. Clements made the following
statement: Todd Is insane. He is
sick and broken down. They threat
ened to mob him, and he had to say
something. This thing is nightly
