cult gracefully responded by reading
an able and interesting paper on THE
Solar System Her Slzillful handling OF
! facts and figures showed her an en-
/ thusiastic student of the science, and
caused her hearers to regret when the
paper was ended. The social hour was
next in order, and Miss Bigelow led
her guests to the dining room for re-
freshments. The programme was con-
tinued by Miss MOffett reading by spe-
cial request her most excellent paper on

to bring to punishment those who defraud the
state and their ncighbors; if crimes of fraud
may walk unrebrked in our streets, how long
will it be until crimes Of violence make insecure
the fortunes that have refused to contribute
1atably to the cost CT maintaining social order?
1t is not within the purpose of this address to
propose in detail the needed reforms i'll our tax
laws, but rather to emphasize the need and to
suggest that our men of wealth and the mana
gers of our great corporations should themselves
come forward and take the lead in these reforms
that they should not only show willingness,
but zeal, 10 bear their full proportionate
share Of all public burdens. If they do not,
The sense of injury is so strong that ways will
be found TO exact more that is equal. To do
justice is he best safeguard against injustice.

revenue of state may be derived from con-
tributions exacted from small minority OF its
population, the majority going free. To allow
such system is not only to lob the minority
thus unduly burdened, but it is to rob the state
of that which is essential to Its healthy exist
ence and indeed to the life of republican insti-
tutions.
For very many years an opinion has been
prevalent that the great bulk of personal prop
erty of the states, especially of the class denom-
mated "securties," including stock, bonds,
notes, mortgages and such like, has escaped
taxation With very few exceptions the
great fortunes in this country are invested i'll
such securities. The delinquency appears to
be located largely in our great cities Recent
Investigations of students of political science
and recent tables prepared by state officials
have disclosed an APPALLING condition of things
The evil seems to have been progressing until
in some of our great centers OF population and
wealth, these forms of personal property seem
to have been eliminated from the tax list
When to this enormous and crying evil is
added the corruption which it is alleged has
characterized the appraisement of real estate,
we have condition of things with which we
dare not pater. We must inaugurate, and at
once, a system that shall equalize tax burdens.
The men of wealth in our great communities
should lead the movement. This great club,
organized as rallyng center for loyalty and
patriotic citizenship, should hear call as loud
and imperative as that which came to it during
the years of the civil war;
Mr. Lincoln's startling declaration that this
country could not continue to exist halt slave
and half free may be paraphrased today by say
ing that this country cannot continue to exist
half taxed and half free.
Where is moral distinction between the act
of putting one hand in neighbours pocket and
clandestinely abstractng his pobketbook and
tie fraudulently shifting of debt that is owed
another?
If there is not enough public virtue LETT IN
orr communities to make tax frauds dlscredlt-
able; if there is not vitality enough in our laws
and the administration of justice in our courts

Hence everybody smokes-and cheaply.
There is one thing here that is a ter
rible thing to someof the American soldi-
ers-that is "bino," the native intoxicant.
It is made from rice alcohol, has a sweet
taste and is very cheap-114 cents a
drink. It has its effect all of a sudden,
within an hour or so after the victim has
drank thereof. Invariably the poor fell
lows are rendered unconscious, il not
crazy, and they can't do anything with
them. It makes the victim very sick
too, but we have two II three men in the

they obtain a cent. 1t being so cheap,

Weyler's Crookedness.

A special to the San Francisco Chron-
icle from Manila of Sept. 26 says:
Direct evidence connecting Gen. Weyler
Of Cuban fame with the wholesale loot
ing Of the Philippine treasury, has been
unearthedin Bilibid prison. Maximiano
Rosales and Julien Reyes, sent to prison
as scapegoats for official thieves, have
been liberated by order Of Major General
Otis, but deliverancc came to late for a
third prisoner convicted Of the same
crime, for he died in Bilibid eight days
before the American army entered the
city.
When Capt. Moffett, superintendent
of the prisons, began his Investigations
of the cases of the prisoners confined in
Bilibid, Rosales and Reyes declared that
they, were unjustly suffering FIR the
crimes of Others and begged thatst their
cases bo r%eopcned. They averred that
Weyler and his associates had looted the
treasury of SI,OvO,OW,i in Mexican silver,
and that they had been accused of the
crime and sent to Jail. Moffett made a
2Yort Of the matter to Gen. Macarthur,
and an examination of the books at the
treasury was ordered. The latter showed
that during the Weyler regime several
immense sums of money had been with
drawn, and there was an unsatisfactory
showing as to the disposition of treasury
md goes so far as to declare that Weyler
himself came to the treasury to aid the
c-imc. as he alleges. 1t has been decided
to make a full investigation of the case.

To illustrate the kind Of lapse Of rea-
soning power from which great inventors
are known to suffer, like that under in
duenoe Of which Sir Isaac Newton cut one
hole In q wall to let q cat pass through
and then a small hole for the kitten, an
old story in the life Of Morse has been ne.
vived. Long before he invented the tele-
graph Morse was known to the officers of
the patent office as q persistent applicant
for patents. When his great invention Of
s'distanoo writing was about completed,
he wanted the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
way company to try it.
To get rid of him the president of the
road turned him over to q subordinate.
This official was struck with the beauty Of
the invention and became SO interested in
1t that he sat up half the night discussing
1t with the inventor. At length Morse
confessed there wa only n thing which
baf11ed him. "As long as the railroad
runs" he said, "where poles may be erect
cd, it will be easy sailing, but when we
come to the big bridges what IL to be done
thenP. We can't erect poles across the
stream, and without them the wire would
sag and perhaps break from its own
weight. I confess I don't know what to
dc. Can't you suggest q way out Of the
dificultyp"
"Why don't you fasten the wires to the
Bridget asked his companion, without q
moments hesitation. For q moment
Morse gazed OF him with open mouth and
then exclaimed: ''Why not, indeedl Why,
I never thought Of that. It's the very
way" The layman's tip put the finish
ing touch to the work of the great invent
or, and thus wires came to be strung on
bridges when crossing large streama-

wooden sidewalks, concrete and stone
will be used in the new district-no

The new structures that have been
begun this fall are rapidly approaching

building will be the first of the large
structures to be finished. This building
is being erected by Mcleod. Campbell

assisted by the generosity of the North
ern Pacific road in granting free trans
portation OF building material. In addi-
ton to this assistance,t the road has begun
the erection OF a new brick warehouse on
the south side Of the track, and has also
made a proposition for the erection of a
handsome brick passenger depot, nearly
on the site Of the old wooden structure.
This will be built in the spring, If the
city will grant the road the right to use
the street crossing, which will no doubt
be done.
The military post matter is also in.
shape to bo Of substantial benefit to the
city ere another year has passed. The
title to the land for the site has been in
sppected by the attorney general, under
directions from the Secretary Of War
Alger, and a the latter has made an un-
eqniyocal promise to begin the work of
building under his administration, his
action in perfecting the title to the site
is considered good evidence that next
spring will see the work of building be-
gun.
The 500 road has completed its work
OF building for the year, the rails being
raid to within eight mileso { the Burleigh
county line. At tho terminus of the
road is the thriving new town of Brad
dock, named after the county auditor of
Emmons county. This town has already
q number Of stores, elevators and other
establishments, and is the trading center
for 9 large share of Emmons county.
The 500 will renew the work Of building
in the spring, having arranged to build
the branch line through to Bismarck,
and another branch from a point twelve
miles east Of Bismarck, to the rich coal
fields of Mclean county, by this means
tapping directly the richest coal veins in
the state, and afording a direct line of
transportation for the fuel to South Da-
kota points.
