FRIDAY, JULY IS, 1890.

The death last week of Robert G..
Ingersoll, the great orator and agnostic,
has brought out remarkable diversity
of opinion on the part of the press as to
the value of his life. Some call him a
liberator from dogma, others revie him
for his attacks on the Christian religion,
still others assert that he had o influence
whatever. But with all this diversity
there is practical unanimity on one
point, namely-that Ingersoll's private
and civic life was a model for all men.

1nasmuch as war has no "saving
feature" to recommend it under any
circumstances, and as its avowed object
is to destroy as much of the enemy's
property and kill as many of the enemy
combatants as possible, there is grim
humor in the various decisions arrived
at by the Peace Conference at. The
Hague, especially in the matter of ord
nance. Dropping explosives from a
balloon upon the enemy was prohibited.
The use of various kinds of explosives
was tabooed. The propriety of using
expanding bullets was questioned and
they nearly passed to the don't list.
The Americans and English went on
record as not opposed to asphyxiatng
possible enemy by exploding a shell
filled with compressed gas. All as if
war could be made harmless and
pleasant recreation.

OTHER COUNTY MARKETS.
BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston Journa,


The butter situation continues unsettled
and prices are irregular. An easier tendency
ls reported at other places, and sellers here
are disposed SEQ to meet buyers views on the
plentiful, and on this kind full prices can be
obtained, but this forms so small a portion
OF the supply that 1t is distributed around at
premium.
Some of the finest butter arriving is still
sent direct to the freezers, because It cannot
be sold at profit at present, and this helps
TO make the very fine quality scarce. But
aside from this feature there is large
quantity of creamery arriving every week
that is called extra, but which Is just enough
| off in flavor to make it slow of sale except
| at some concessions. And here Is " here the
irregularity comes in Receivers who control
| the fancy lots are firm in their views while
those who have the other kind are forced to
| give way In order to make sales.
Sellers differed considerably in their views
yesterday. few claimed that they could
get 1874 to 10 cents for the right kind OF
Vermont creamery in assorted size tubs, but
this was above the general market. Most of
| the receivers called ISL cents a top selling
rate for wholesale lots of extra Northern
creamery, and said it was hard to get that
If the quality showed any defects. This COW
cred Vermont, New Hampshire and Northern
New York lots in tubs. Boxes were in fair
demand at ID TO 1917 cents and prints at 1879
to 20 cents.
The advancing tendency of the country
markets has caused a stronger tone here and
| sellers are asking to 81 cents for finest
Northern twins. But buyers were slow to re
spond, and no sales of consequence were re
ported at over cents IN the basis of cost
in the country the best lots cost ga cents
laid down here, and if they cannot be sold
at that or more. they will be put into storage.
The egg market has been in unsatisfactory
condition for several days past, owing to the
poor condition of most of the arrivals and
sales for the bulk of the Western stock were
slow at IA to l41a cents. Choice fresh Western
were taken at ID cents and certain fancy
marks ranged higher. Choice Eastern sold
at lG to II cents and fancy new laid go up to

Just a Word From Roberts

We are about to move. When we get
In our big new store We think we will
have little the best establishment OF
the kind in western Colorado. How
ever, the fact that We are going TO have
big store and lots Of goods, docs not in
tho least detraet from the fact that
ripht now we have on display chat is all
we have not put aside for our regular
customers, who bought carly the finest
line OF jswelry, watches, cut glassware,
silverware, diamonds, and other precious
stones Of any jewelry house on the west
srn slope.
1t cuts no figure with US what others
have, we knew that the eastern markets
do not contain anything that we can
sell, that We do not purchase. In dia-
monds we are second to no one. Our
long dealing with eastern houses and
cash purchases, gives us the pick, and
furthermore we know diamond when
we see it.
We are always ready to show you
goods We further suggest that we are
not afraid to show or have our goods
compared with any other house either
here or elsewhere. We can buy = little
cheaper in the far east than others do in
Denver and the freight is nothing, Uncle
Sam hauls our diamonds at small cost.
Just drop in and spend few moments
with us, feasting your eyes on our hand
some assortment of everything.

Knipbts of the Mnccnbecs.

The kirmiss that has been held In Cregh-
ton halr during the last week under the aus
pices of the Knights of the Maccabees has
proved a success beyond the hopes Of the
most sanguine. The many valuable prizes
contributed by business men of the city have
been disposed of to long list of most pop
ulars," and the proceeds from the sales of
chances have swelled the Maccabees' bank
account considerably. But the success that
has attached to the kirmiss financially has
been lost sight of in the enjoyment of the
social pleasures it has afforded The fea-
ture OF the entire entertainment has been
the nightly dancing.
The first of the prizes was handsome
silk flag awarded to the hive securing from
the voters the verdict of the greatest popu-
form hive.
To the tent adjudged the most popular of
the state tents was given another but
much handsomer and larger flag. The
Hooper, Neb., tent secured the prize
In the contest to decide which of three
young ladies was the most popular Lady
Maccabee, Miss Bay was the winner, with
Miss Tague and Miss Butler in the order
named The prize was a silver set.
Lady Payne was decided the most popu-
lar landy commander, her prize being a
handsome pillow. The other contestants were
Ladies Church and Dixon.
The most popular knight was w. H.
Smith, and close second In the race was K
E. Hewitt The prize was a water color

BROKERS MUST PAY THE TAX
transactions in Bucket Shops Must
Contribute Their Part to Revenue
of Government.

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Commissioner
Wilson of the Internal Revenue bureau has
rendered decision which has been pending
for long time regarding the liability Of
bucket shop transactions to the stamp tax.
The decision says;
BY bucket shop is meant place other
than a board OF trade or exchange where
the parties who agree to buy and sell stocks
do not ordinarily contemplate the receiving
or delivering of the certificates therefore by
the buyer or seller either at the time or in
the future. Such transactions in stocks are
taxable.
In the case OF every agreement to sell
at bucket shop there is both presumptive
buyer and a presumptiYe seller and this is
true whether the customer agrees to sell
stock to the manager Of the place or the
manager of the place agrees to sell stock
to the customer.
Where agreement OF sale has been made
and no delivery Of stock takes place and the
party holding the agreement of sale wishes
to close the transaction by dispOsing OF his
interest in said agreement, and settles with
the holder of the contract by paying the
deficiency price, in contemplation of law there
Is an agreement to resell the shares to the
original seller. All these transactions must
be evidenced by written memorandum.
1t makes no difference whether these
agreements to sell stocks made at bucket
shops are called selling privileges" or
purchase privileges" or whether they are
called by any other name, such contracts
are taxable the same as stock transactions
on the stock exchange
Regarding the sale Of grain and other
products OF merchadise at bucket shops, the
commissioner, in view OF the recent decision
of the United States supreme court in re-
gard to the sales of merchandise at board
of trade exchange or any similar place, re-
vokes the previous decision that a bucket
shop as ordinarily conducted Is a similar
place to a board of trade or exchange 1t
is understood that in the case of a bucket
shop there is commonly only one manager or
firm who control all the sales and purchases
made at that particular place, and where this
is the case no tax aCcrues on the sale OF
grain or other merchandise made thereat,
except where a brokers' contract or
memorandum Of sale is Issued, when it
must be stamped with 1O-cent stamp.
