Knox passes upon q point about
which numerous local loan agents
have been considerably perplexed. 1t
holds that bonds given by private in
dividuals are taxable as bonds and
not as promissary notes. They come
under the class of instruments desig.
mated in the law as 3bonds of any des.
cription not otherwise provided for
and are taxed at so cents each regard
less of their amount. It is further
held that whenever any bond or note
shall be secured by mortgage or
deed of trust, but one stamp shall be
required to beplaced upon such papers
provided that the stamp tax placed
thereon shall be the highest rate re
quired for said instruments or either
of them.

of the revenue collections Mr.. Bere-

of $4,000 are considerably below the

Wealth in Flax.

A Duluth special says: The great
advance in the price of flax this fall has
placed several millions of dollars more
in the hands of farmers in the North
west than they ever expected to get. It
has come as a great surprise to them,
too, for they had looked for a declining
price this year rather than an advancing
one, owing to the largely increased pro.
duction of seed. To North Dakota es-
pecially the high price of flax is the
means of bringing great wealth. The
crop is enormous this year in that state
and equals almost three-sevenths of the
entire crop of flax seed. In 1896 the
state produced in round numbers 5,OOO,-
600 bushels of flax: this year it's. yield is
estimated at 100000 bushels. All Of
this flax has been or will be sold at
prices ranging from S1.W to S1.2O a
bushel. North Dakota will therefore get
more than S~lO.OO0,O0O for it's flax crop.
This enormous wealth comes to it right
after a most prosperous period. During
the Letter corner a great number of the
Red River valley farmers held their
wheat and realized high prices for it.
The flax crop of 1898 also brought fair
prices and the farms of that region and
in fact the entire state have taken on a
new prosperity. And now with this
bountiful yield of flax and the fine price
it is bringing, the Red River valley is
fairly rolling in wealth. Advices from
there say that the farmers throughout
the state are threshing and getting their
flax to market and are holding their
wheat for better prices.

0CCUPATIONG0NE
War Office Will Greatly Restrict
the Activity Of Special Cor
respondents,
And Will, by Authentic Bulletins,
Give information to the
Public.
Withholding All News Which
Might Be of Use to the
Enemy.

NEW YORK. Oct. GA dispatch to
The Tribune from London says:
The determination of the war Office
to restrict the activity of special cor
respondents seem to be taking the shape
of competing with the. newspapers.
Since the Boer attack was expected,
the public has been pelted, greatly to
its satisfaction. with official bulletins
at frequent intervals. The war Office,
after attempting to convince the editors
of the leading London journals that
they must modify their methods of re.
porting the campaign, have enforced
censorship and established a news
agency Of its own for the benefit Of the
public and the repression of sensational
catch penny journalism. The follow
ing pronouncelnent Of Il prominent Of
fetal shows what the wal Office insisted
upon:
"There are three subjects which can
and ought to be reported by the press.
but not in detail. the composition of
the troops. Let us know by all means
that a large. moderate or small force of
infantry, cavalry or artillery, in all pos
sible combinations and permutations
have advanced or retired, etc., but do
not let us inform the enemy hat such
and such %squadrons, or such and such
regiments. with so many guns of this
or that calibre. have done thus and so.
Such details enable the enemy to plot
our men down on his map, and must
lead to unnecessary casualties on our
side. Let us know that such and such
positions have been taken up; such and
such towns or locations fortified. but
do not tell the Beers exactly where our
trenches have been dug. and the number
of hours work and number of men EN-.
ployed in digging them. Let us know
that supplies have been stored at such
and such isolated posts, but do not tell
the Beers how many weeks or months
of supplies have been stored. If they
know they can arrange to starve some
of Il garrisons. It is not fair on ou1
brothers and cousins at. say Glencoe, o,
Ramathlabama, that the enemy should
be informed how best toshoot or starye.'
The London editors could not be
brought to terms by this unofficial ex
preston Of war office opinion and the
war correspondents will play a mino,
part in the campaign and be lucky il
they are at the front,

A SIGNAL VICTORY.
Result at Glencoe Considered Most I'M
portant by the British Officials.

Result at Glencoe Considered Most I'm.
p~ortant by the British Officials.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-The dispatches re-
ceived from South Africa leave no
doubt that the Beers failed in their en-.
deavor to execute a combined attack in
Natal and that the British have
achieved q brilliant victory, but at the
cost Of a heavy list of killed and
wounded.
The Boer plan, it is evident, was to
hold the force at Ladysmith by demon.
~strations by the Free State burghers on
the western side so as to prevent rein.
forcements being sent to Glencoe. The
latter place was to be isolated by de-
stroying the railway between it and
Ladysmith. Finally a large force was
to make a combined attack on Glencoe.
The first two items of the programme
were successfully carried out, but the
combined operation against Glencoe
failed, owing, probably, to the fact that
the Boer military organization is too
rough and amateurish to bring large
forces into simultaneous action. It is
believed that only 1900 Beers were in
the actual action.
Victory IL Important.
It is almost impossible to ~overesti.
mate the Importance of this initial sig.
nal victory, the result of an engage.
ment on a fairly fought field in which
discipline and efficiency have told.
After more than 10 years the Beers and
the British have again met, not fa1
from Laings Mex and Majuba hill,
with an entirely different result, and il
the defeat does not lead to wholesale
assertions from the Boer forces in dis.
gust at the happiness of their leaders,
it has had important results. Besides
restoring British prestige it has proved
that the Boer artillery, whether di.
rected by Germans or not, is practically
valueless. On the other hand it has
proved to the Beers that the British ar.
tillery is quite effective. 1t is possible
that the plugged shells were defective,
The report that the British captured
10 guns appears to be correct, generally

Def from the Beers.

L-... .---
Johannesburg, Oct. 10 (From our
special correspondent = Fzzrgt Jgrtt,
the Boer poet laureate, has presented his
wal song.
1t is a def to Kipling and Swinburne,
but it is much clearer in its meaning.
One or two stanzas are slightly elusive
but not enough to hurt.
The children sing it in the streets, and
lockjaw is on the increase.
Dom Paul will knight Fzzrgt, which
honor carries with it two cob pipes and a
key of tripe-a substantial reward.
Here is the song in it's unsullied purity:

The blind through night to grope along,
AS long as Freedom shall endure,
And music weave her wilcs to song,
As long as gladness greets the dawn,
While memory shall carve upon

Float all thy flags, Columbial
Be thou a beacon in the night,
When storm shall toss and wave shall wall,
Be thine the step to lead to light
Be thine to guide when light shall fail,
Be thou the Just! Be thou tho Free!
