Bill Dividing Personal Property IuiO
Groups for Taxation.


Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. 25.-The
bill dividing personal property into
twelve groups and real IS ate into
two groups for purposes Of taxa-
ton, has been signed by the gov
ernor, and as it carried All emergency
clause, it is now a law This law
is regarded as very importsn', is
under the old law there We're uut
two divisions Of property for the
purposes OF tazation-real estate aud
personal property. Under ths Dew
law real estate is grouped under two
headings-town lots and farming
lands, and personal property as fol-
lows: Banking, corporations, rail-
road corporations, street railway
corporations, all other corporations,
bonds, notes, and othsr evidences of
indebtednese; horsee, mares and
geldings; mules, asses and jennete;
meat cattle; sheep; swine; farm i'm
plements, and all other personal
property.
Under the old law if the state
board of equalization desired to
raise or lower the assessed valuation
of, for instance, bank stock or street
railway property, in any one county,
it could only be done by raising CT
low ering the value of all the per-
sonal property of the county Un.
der the new law the state board may
raise or lower at will the assessed
value of property Included in any
one group without disturbing the
others. State officials say that this
law will tend to greatly equalize
taxation.

Caught Stealing Chickens.

Laporte, Ind, Feb. 26.-Edward
Teeter of Rolling Prairie created a
sensation this morning by driving q
we'll known resident and his wife
through the town at the point of a
revolver Last night Teeter heard a
commotion in his hen house and
going out to learn the cause discov
covered resident of Rolling Prairie
aud his wife in the barn-yard.
The woman was dressed in male
attire and the two were stealing
chickens. Teeter made them pris-
oners and locked them in the house
until morning, when he gave them
breakfast. He then tied the chickens
which the pair had attempted to
steal around their necks and ordered
the man and woman to march
through the streets in this predica
ment. The spectacle OF the two
marching down the road with Teeter
bringing up the rear, revolver in
hand. was a strange one, more part;c-
ularlY so on account of the woman
wearing q mans clothes.
The guilty pair have heretofore
held "a respectable position in Roll
ing Prairie society.

TO FREEZE OUT ALGER.
Secretary of Wars Resignation May Be
Forced From Him.

Forced From Him.
New York. Feb. 24-The Herald's
Washington correspondent writes:
Secretary AIger stated to day thst
$50 far as his own disposition was
concerned he would remain in the
Cabinet until the end of the present
administration.
No one ever doubted this. The
Presdeot has hoped that he might,
even unwillinely, tender his resigna-
tion without direct request for it.
Naturally the President is reluctant
TO resort to drastic measures, but
with the pressure being brought to
bear upon him by the most promi-
nent republican leaders in both
houses of congress aud the members
of his Cabinet, there is no doubt
that ultimately the resignation will
be demanded if the Secretary does
not tender it voluntarily.
Secretary Alger will be 50 com
pletely ignored in all the arrange
ments for the reorganization of the
army and in the selection of officers
under the new law that those who
desire his resignation feel confident
that be cannot much longer with
stand the freezing out process which
has already been inaugurated.
Ia view of such occurrences as
those in the House of Representa-
tives to-day and of the popular de-
mand in all directions for a change
in ths head of the War Department,
the President has quite made up his
mind that AlRer must be speedily
unloaded from the Cabinet.
Representative johnson of Indiana
was especially severe upon Secretary
Alger to-day, and his reference to
the report of the Kissing of Algsr in
Boston was received with applause,
in which some of the republicans
joined. Later in the debate Repre-
sentative Rhes of Kentucky exclaim
cd: Trust the President? What
has he got in the War Department.
The answer was "Beef!
Mr. Rhea also referred to Score.
tary Alger's record in the OWL War.
speaking of his having been cashier
ed for cowardice. Representative
Spalding of Michigan undertook to
say a word in his defense and pro
tested that he had not been cash
tered.
"He was not cashiered, but he was
court martialed. or he would have
been court -martialed if he had moi
resigned to escape it," said AIR
Rhea, amid great applause, and MIR
Spalding did not try to make any
further defense.

CUBANS MAKE TROUBLE

New York, May 16.-The Her.
AIDS Havana correspondent tele-
graphs:
The situation here has become
most alarming. To all appear
snces the Cubsns are about TO
make armed manifestations
against the United States aud it's
mode of governing the island, al.
though the conservative element
still hopes for peaceful arrange
ments. This state of affairs, which
was brought abruptly to head
last Saturday by partial quarrel
between General Gomsz and Gov
ernor General brooke has been
forming for the last two months.
The first move has been made by
the army. 1t will probably be
supported by many Cubaps.
The army, which is really rep
resented (althouph many dispute
his authority by General Gomez,
is particularly bitter against Gen
erai Brooke and his policy.
Washington, May l6.-General
Brooke has not reported to the
War Department any serious situ-
alton in Cuba and it is not be-
lieved at the departms nt that any
alarm may be felt regarding the
condition of affairs. No advice il
given General Brooke, as it has
been the policy Of the President
to clothe the officers in command
in the islands with plepary power
to deal with situations as they
arise and hold such officer respon-
sible.

Washington, May 1o.-The Sc

ton Of President Mckinley, a
statement of the character Of the
government that the United States
will be willing to establish 10 the
Philippines after the surrender of
Aguiualdo's forces and the restor-
alton OF peace. The proposed
government is to BE- more civil
than military, and somewhat
similar, although a little more
liberal, even, than that now 10
operation in Porto Rico. The
head of the government will be a
Governor, whose functions will be
civil, although he may be a militia.
ry man.
There will be an advisory
council composed of natives Of the
Philippines, whose business il
will be to confer with the Gov
ernor on official matters and sug-
Rest changes in the manner of ex =
ercising authority. The local
government will be- entirely in
the hands of natives, subject to
certain supervision by American
authorities. The plan proposed
amounts practically to an autono-
nous system, and it is believed
here that it will be acceptable to
the natives. 1t will continue only
until Congress decides what shall
be the character of the permsn emit
government of the islands.

Washington, May 1.-THE

The Sherman made the eastward
trip in that time. The time of the
Hancock was twenty-five days and
the vessel covered the entire dis
lance across the Pacific without
stopping, being the first one OF
the transports to accomplish the
feat. The success OF the Hancock
