GOLD FOUND IN THE PHILIP.
PINE ISLANDS.

On Mindanao. one of the Philippine
Islands, gold is found in the river beds,
but owing to the primitive conditions
prevailing there it is not known how rich
these deposits are With the advance
OF civilization this matter will be fully
investigated by shrewd prospectors.
Great discoveries may be made, but no
discovery was ever greater than Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, which civilization
long ago investigated and found to be
all that is cilmed for it. In cases of
loss of appetite. Indigestion, biliOusness
and constipation it acts in a truly wond-
erful manner. The bowels are made to
act mildly, the desire for food is in
creased, sour stomachs are sweetened,

ALL MUST PAY TAX
IMPORTANT RULING REGARDING
BANK CHECKS.
BLUMENFELD RAISES POINT
AT Request of Many Badgers Collector
Queries Washington on Reported
Decision That Depositors Are not
Required to Stamp Checks They
Draw Payable to Themselves.

Every bank check when cashed
must bear a 2 cent revenue stamp.
Such Is the ruling OF the internal rev.
enue department at Washington
which was appealed to by Collector
M. f. Blumenfeld OF the western dis
trict Of Wisconsin, who has been
Hooded for week past with inquiries
on The matter by badger bank depos-
itoT's and bank officials. These latter
have enclosed with their inquiries a
newspaper clipping which asserted
that Attorney General Griggs had
ruled that where bank depositor
drew a check payable to himself a
revenue stamp was unnecessary The
clipping states that the ruling was
made In the case OF J. -. Robinson,
prosecuting attorney OF Boone county,
Mo-, who presented check drawn on
his deposit and payable to himself ut
bank In Columbia, Mo. and, the
cashier refusing to pay II unless 1t
bore revenue stamp, he appealed TO
Grlggs and secured favorable ruling.
Mr.. Blumenfeld last night received
the following dispatch in answer 20
his Inquiry ON the matter:
Washington, d. g.. Nov. EN- r.
Blumenfeld, Collector of Internal Rev
enue, Madison, Wis.--There liz no
truth In the newspaper statement that
the attorney general ruled that bank
checks drawn by persons and made
payable 10 themselves are not liable
TO the stamp tax. All bank checks
are liable TO the 2-cent stamp tax by
whomsoeyer drawn and TO the order
OF whomsoeyer made payable. Fall
ure to observe this law renders all
parties concerned liable TO prosecu-
ton q. w. Wilson,

HAS TWO WIVES.

an Argentine Woman

Brooklyn, Nov. 23.--David Smith
man, 20 years old, dapper and chunk
lily built, was arrested at l79 Christie
pher street on the charge OF stealing
$4,000 from a woman he married ia
Buenos Ayres, Argentina. In the
Christopher street house at the time
Of his arrest was another wife and
four little children. The Buenos
Ayes Mrs. Smithman, handsome
dark-eyed, plump little woman, had
followed him thousands of miles to
recover her property. Smithman is
an expert furrier and tailor, and has
a fashionable shop at 81 Bond street
He went to Buenos Ayres three years
ago to build up his fortune. He left
his wife and children at the Christie

before, leaving large fortune and his
very valuable business to his widow

frequent and the men refused Co
break together Corbees struck Tom
rather low on the body and the sailor
appealed 70 the referee, Corbet,

ter OF che ring mixing it up III the nve-
hest manner, y Rourke calling to loan
not 90 nina Corbett low hitting.
Just at this moment. Tor some unae-
countabie reason, McNey, one OF Cor
oett $ SECONDS, jumped through the
ropes, protesting that Sharkey hau
done something wrong TO Corbett. / ne
moment Mc>ey CLIMBED through <ne
ropes Ponce Inspector Mclaughlin
grabbed him, While the crowd frantic
ally yelted, "roul; foul, Corbeet loses.
Referee Kelly seemed 10 pay no atten-
ton to the matter, but kept looking at
the lighters VINO continued their ag-
gresSive work. McNey tried TO pun
away from Inspector Mclaughlin
while the spectators kept calling at
the referee, who finally separated the
the fighters and ordered them to their
corners. Corbett seemed not to un-
derstand why the referee should inter
fere and protested, but Kelly was OBJ
durate and stopped the bout. Mean
while the spectators stood up ani
yelled that bets should be declared on,
as they believed McVey committed
breach of the rules premeditatedly.
1t looked for a while as If riot would
ensue, but as soon as the referee de-
clared Sharkey the winner on tech
nicality he announced that all bets
were OFF, as McVey's action was un-
doubleday pre-arranged. AS soon as
this announcement was made the
spectators resumed their seats and
awaited the departure of the men from
the ring.
The mill was to be 20 rounds be-
tween James J. Corbett of California,
eX-champion heavyweight boxer of
the world, and Tom Sharkey of Dun
dalk, Scotland, who first showed his
prowess as a fighter while serving the
United States as a blue Jacket in the
navy. Before the mill Corbetts stocn
was always in preference with odds
on the Californian at 100 to so, which
just before the men entered the ring
Corbett betters forced down to 100 to
70.
During the progress of the bout
Kid Mccoy gained admission to the
arena disguised with a false beard.
Tom O'Rourke, manager of the club,
had forbidden Mccoy to enter, al
enough he had been engaged by
newspaper to write story of the
fight, AS soon as Mccoy took his seat
he was recognized and removed his
disguise. Detectives compelled him to
leave the building.

Connie" McVey jumped into the ring,
appealing to the referee, thus violat-
ing the rules, and the referee, Honest
John" Kelly, had no alternative but to
disqualify Corbett and award the bout
to Sharkey. McVey's interference was
absolutely inexcusable and the referee
believing that there was Job" in
McVey's action, took it upon himself
to declare all bets off. Before Kelly
did so, however, many of those who
had bet on Corbett, and they were le-
gion, appealed to the referee to take
such action, while the Sharkeyites
shouted against such interference on
Kelly's part and protested that he had
no authority to declare the bets OFF.
However, the referees word went with
the majority of the spectators and
consequently all money paid on wag-
ers made will be refunded.
1t was an unfortunate and abrupt
ending to what promised to be a most
interesting fight For weeks Corbett
and Sharkey had trained faithfully
and when stripped each showed excel
lent condition. Sharkey was conf
dent of success and the manner in
which he acquitted himself in the ring
while the fight lasted showed very
plainly that his confidence was found
ed on good grounds. Those who be-
lieved that Sharkey could not fight
fairly, changed their opinion after the
bout had gone one round. On the
other hand, Corbett hit the sailor in
