Wanted In Oklahoma.

A few days since Constable Jasper
Phillips of Collinsville, Texas, ar
rested a man at. that place on che
charge of carrying a pistol. The
man had a horse and buggy there in
which he had driven to CollinsYille.
He gave the name of Grant Black
mon and his late place of residence
as South Dakota
Shortly after Blaokmon was
brought to Sherman he received by
freight a box from Marietta, 1. T.
1t contained quite a lot of knives,
shears, clothing and shoes. The de-
scription of these with the buggy
and horse and the fact that he had
some papers in his possession di-
rected to r. l.. Pool was placed in
the Dallas News sheriff's column as
Sheriff Hughes thought there was
more pending against the man than
the pistol case.
To-day the following telegram was
received:
"Oklahoma City, o. T., Sept. q
A. E. Hughes, Sheriff, Sherman:

come after him as soon as 1 can get

that r. L. Pool, whose name appears

raiiroad4 Dallas, Tex: Dear SIR
In your letter OF the 1st you state:
. lt.is customary in some towns
fortEe cotton yards to dray cotton
to the. railroad depot. Zach draw
man is given dray ticket for the
number OF bales that may be on his
wagon. The railroad agent signs
these dray tickets in advance of sign
ing the bill of lading and when the
entire let of cotton is hauled to the
railroad bill of iading is taken out.
Is 1t necessary TO stamp each one of
these dray tickets? You understand,
they are not used for any other pur-
pose than as evidence to the cotton
yard man that the drayman has deliy-
cred to the railroad company the
number of bales he left the yard
with"
L beg to say the dray tickets refer
red to do not have TO be stamped.

Dallas, Tex, Sept. 3.-Mr. B. F.
Ellington. cashier First. National
bank, Atlanta, Tex: Dear Sir-You
state in your letter of the 1st as fol-
lows:
"It has been the custom here for
farmers to bring their cotton on the
street and sell to the merchant max
ing best bid, and carry to warehouse,
have it weighed for account of party
buying. The charge is 25 cents per
bale for weighing and no storage is
charged till the expiration of thirty
days from date of weighing. Now
they understand from your rulings
that such weigher's tickets or re-
ceipts are not subject to the 25-cent
tax until the expiration of the thirty
days, or until storage begins to run
against the purchaser. Are they
correct?"
The internal revenue Office has
not, and is now unwilling to fix any
time when cotton shall be declared
on storage. If cotton is sent to COM
press for compression only, or if be-
ing marked and tagged for shipment,
or lying in wait for suitable trans
portation, it can not be considered
on storage. The matter of storage
can best be determined by the in
tention of the party owning it, and
whenever it is on storage the %
cents is due. Very truly yours.

name of the purchaser for the pur-
pose only of being ticketed, marked
and numbered and then transferred

purpose of compression and ship
ment, all OF which Is done in the
regular course of business, are such

And since the registers only contain the names of those who have arrived at the age of q, how are the United States officers who are charged with the duty of en- rolling all persons who may from time to time arrive at the age of Is years, and who being of the age of IS years are subject to military duty, to tell from the original roll furnished them by the State authorities when the roll of this city and county does not contain the name of single person below the age of 21 years?
 Section 1927 of the Revised Statutes Of the United States makes it the duty of the enrolling officers to serve notices upon those whose names appear upon the roll, but the Tax Collector, in his eagerness to grasp the 5-cent pieces, has failed to give the addresses of no less than S121 of the 46,29O persons whose names he copied from obsolete regis ters, making the roll practically useless so far as the above number is con- cerned.
 Compiled by Assembly districts the missing addresses are as follows:

A speakers stand had been erected on the slope near the bridge which connects the short road from Mission street to Ocean View, and it was gayly decorated for the occasion with Japanese lanterns.
 John Barrett, an old-time resident of the Sunnyside district, presided and after paying a graceful tribute to the worth of the Republican nominees on the State and local tickets introduced Judge A. B. TreadWell as one of the next Police Judges of San Francisco. The reception of Judge Treadwell showed that he was not unknown. He delivered stirring address, urging upon his hearers to fulfill their duty to themselves by casting. their ballots for the entire Republican ticket.

there are always enough ready to proph-

Frederick the Great made himself I'M
popular-with those who opposed him
because he disregarded what, up to this
time, was recognized as the proper
method OF warfare. In those DAYS two
armies which intended to fight arranged
themselves on an open field, where every
body had fair and even chance to kill
every body else, and one side seemed to
feel in honor bound to wait until the
other had chance to make the best pos
siblc preparation to resist the attack.
Frederick did not do things that way.
He fought when it met his pleasure, and
got his army out at all manner OF un-
seemly hours to attack his ICES, without
giving them any notice OF his intentions.
He fell upon his enemies in mountain
passes when they were not ready to sue
cessully resist him Hence his unpopu-
lari'y-with his enemies.

they observe that the proposition to cut

men who have been gaining livelihood
by logging operations for the American

Canada will not rest quietly under the

bill is working satisfactorily on this side
of the Canadian boundary, and there has
been revival in the lumber trade since
its enactment. Lumber commands better
prices, and sawmill operators are getting
better pay Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Lumber and the Dingley Law.

1t is evident that the action of the Ca
madam lumbermen in regard to the ex-
portaton Of Canadian logs to American
sawmils will not accomplish what the
Canadian grumblers hoped it would
cause the United States to make over
lures for reciprocity that would involve
modification of the lumber tariff. Ru-
mors that the authorities at Washington
were considering proposition of that
kind prompted number of prominent
lumbermen to 20 to the national capital
to ascertain the facts. Unsupported that
these selfappointed emissaries OF the
lumber manufacturers had interviews
with President Mckinley and John A,
Kasson, and that they are satisfied that
all reports TO the effect that modiica-
ton OF the Dingley tariff on lumber is to
be effected are utterly without iounda-
ton. Mr.. Kasson has supervision OF all
