Band Concert.

The band boys rendered another
of their excellent concerts last
Friday evening to a crowded
house. The selections were some
what more difficult than any OF
the others they have heretofore
publicly rendered; however, they
went through the entire program
without break. The boys play
with spirit and "a real appreciation
of musical composition. Under
the ski lful instruction of Mr..
HoIsopple there is every prospect
for this city to have a band the
peer of any in the country.
Messrs. Dodge and Ross enter
tanned the audience for some time
with instrumental music with an
infltrat1on of occasional puns and
stories. The club swinging by
Robert ApRoberts and Chas.
Purves was an exposition of grace,
accuracy Of movement and
physical endurance that brought
them much merited praise. The
ease with which they kept with
the music is primarily due to their
rigid training in the Normal gym
nasium and secondarily to the fact
that they are both singers base
singers. TIE trio consisting Of
Messrs. Nelson, Smith and Gil.
bertson called forth the greatest
applause Of the evening These
gentlemen deserve great credit foi
their part on the program. The
band boys gave US an evening
which taking it all in all was val
liable both to the lover of fun anC
good music. The next concert will
be given from the new band stand
which is about ready for use.

Debate ON the Cuban Question.
Crowded out last week.

Last Ti,ursd ay eveing a fair-sized
audience listened to a we'll rem
dered program at st. Bridget S
Hall.
Rev. FIR. Duren assisted by
three young ladies rendered two
songs, Father Duren singing the
solo part with spirit and harmony.
The debate, Resolved, that
Cuba should be annexed to the q.
S. was well sustained by Messrs.
Ross and Kirsch while Messrs.
Dorgan and Welsh ably argued
the negative.
The aft. having of course the
burden of proof, presented the
following arguments which the
neg. endeavored to show to be
false.
1. Bv annexation we inaugu-
rate a system of sanitation, by
which we prevent the appearance
of dreaded diseases and the danger
of the contagion spreading to our
cities.
9. Reestablish commerce with
Cuba which has practically been
stopped by the terrible condition

Wide Wagon Tires and Traction.

Efforts have been made to in
dnce farmers and transfers
generally to use wide wagon tires.
not alone because of the beneficial
effect of snch tires upon the road
way. but because material saving
can thus be made In traction
that is to say, bigger load can be
hauled with the same power, or
much quicker time can be made
with medium load. Experiments
demonstrating all that has been
claimed by the promoters OF the
wide tire laws have recently. been
been made at the Missouri State
Agricultural Experiment Station.
Inch and half and six inch tires
were used in various trials. The
roadways included smooth maca
dam, loose and hard gravel, dry
sand, soft surface and solid bottom,
rnts and black soil with the mud
stiff and drying on top. The same
wagon was used in each trial, the
wheels being changed, and in each
case the load was 1000 pounds.
The pull was measured with a
thermometer, and speed OF p
miles an hour was maintained on
distances varying from 200 to 500
and return. The detailed report
shows that the tests were made on
every kind of road known to
teamsters.
In one or two instances the
difference was found to be In fav-
or of the narrow tires: but this
was only when the surface of the
road was soft and the foundation
frm-conditions not likely to eA
ist save perhaps for a short time
III the spring on common dirt
roads, when the surface frost is
out and the ground is frozen a few
inches down. AS soon as the thin
mud begins to dry the wide tire re-
duces the draft, the dirt being
packed by it, instead of being
pushed aside, as when narrow
tire is used. The saving In pow
er due to the employment of the
wide tire varied from Is to IS per
n, the higher figure being
scored on anything like smooth
and hard roadway.
Another point brought out was
the destructive effect of the mar
row tire on dirt roads. 1t was
demonstrated beyond question
that the wide tires keep the sur
face smooth and firm, and that
when the roads are full of ruts the
broad wheels tend to restore them
to good condition and thus ma
terially lessen the cost of repairs.
The universal adoption of the
wide tire III Minnesota for all
vehicles carrying heavy loads
would save the taxpayers of the
state thousands of dollars annual
ly in road repairs, and would save
the farmers and teamsters ten
times the amount In expense of
hauling and wear and tear of
horses and vehicles.-Minneapo-

Special Indiana Rate.

committee. consisting of Mayor Tag
CART. Evans Woollen. E. ID. Moffett and
Hiram Brown, was appointed to meet with
the local passenger association at o'clock
this afternoon TO discuss the question of
rates during the week of the meet. AS the
arrangement now stands. the one-fare rates
for the round trip next week run out on
Tuesday. There are thousands of wheelmen
in Indiana who would like to come to In
dianapolis for one or two days later in the
week and see the national championship
races. These are people who cannot remain
throughout the week. 1t is believed that,
unless rates are given in Indiana next week.
the attendance at the meet will be cut down
one-half. An effort will be made TO have the
local passenger association make a special
rate in Indiana for the entire week. The
question will be discussed at the meeting
this afternoon.

NO STAMPS FOR RECEIPTS.
Department Sustains Major GlOver's
View of Rent Memoranda.

The stand taken by Deputy Collector of
Internal Revenue Glover in the matter of
causing stamps to be affixed to rent re-
ceipts proves to have been correct accord
ing to dispatch received from Washington
yesterday. Major Glover decided, as stated
in the Journal of Thursday that all rent
receipts not having a lease clause incor
porated in them should be exempt from tax
and so announced his Interpretation of the
law to all callers. The dispatch authorizing
his stand is as follows:
In the case of receipts for rent, and
where there are no other recitals, no stamp
Is required. But if the receipt contains any
phrase or clause that can be construed as
contract for the hire use or rent then
in such cases the receipt is held to become
something more than a bare receipt and
should be stamped according to its tenor
or effect. The insertion in a rent receipt of
the words AS leased for August, 1898, is
held to render it subject to the tax"
