Legal wnv to Evade Taxation.

Springfield, Ills, Aug. 12.-An opin-
ion was given out from the attorney
generals Office yesterday which will be
of interest because it shows that under
the present construction of the law
there is one legal way in which taxes
may be legally evaded. The opinion
holds that where government bonds
are purchased just before April l and
sold directly thereafter, even though
it be done with the object of evading
taxation, neither such bonds nor the
money paid therefor is taxable in this
state, except as to the interest that
NAV have accrued on the bonds.

CROPS ARE A FEATURE
In the Consideration of the General Trade
Situation for the Week.


New York, Aug. 12.-Bradstrest's
says: Crop reports and probabilities
have constituted an important contri-
button to general trade and business
advices this week Among the unQues-
tionably favorable features have been
the reports regarding the corn crop,
government estimates pointing to a
yield OF probably 1900, GOO, 600 bushels,
a heavy increase over last year and al
most within touch of the record total
of 1896. Spring wheat indications ap-
parently bear out earlier trade advices
in showing a decrease in condition dur
ing July. The reduction of %, GOO. 900
bushels in the probable outcome esti-
mated, however, still allows of total
wheat crop of $50, 0o0, 900 bushels, con-
siderably smaller, it is true, than last
years, but with the exception of 1898
and 1891 the heaviest recorded.
Iron and steel are not specially ac-
tive at eastern markets, but western
advices are of heavy demand, scarce
supplies of material. high prices and
an increasing volume of business
booked for next year. Hides, leather,
boots and shoes are sympathetically
strong. Wool is firm, particularly for
the finer grades of domestic. and adj
vices from the manufacturing Industry
are generally favorable. Lumber is
firm, as is also sugar. The outlook in
the canned goods trade generally is re-
ported a very good one.
Business failures for the week in the
United States number 1876, as compared
with 156 last week, 157 year ago, and
PA in 1897.

Much Damage TO Property Done in Vernon
Coupty-One Man Hurt.
Lacrosse, Wis, Aug. IA minia-
ture tornado swept along the Missis-
sippi river early yesterday morning,
doing great damage in Vernon county
Its greatest fury seemed to have been
expended in and about the village of
Stoddard, twelve miles south of this
city, on the Burlington road, where the
wind and hail was accompanied by a
cloudburst. The greatest damage was
to farm property. in many instances
whole stacks of grain and hay being
literally swept away. Large oak trees
three feet in diameter were uprooted
or broken, and small outbuildings
swept away. Many horses and cattle,
hogs and sheep, were drowned, but no
loss of human life is yet reported. Max
Worzinski's brick residence was un-
rooted, Paul Huefner's grain elevator
wrecked. Biege and Halvorson's wagon
factory demolished and Mrs. Wodzyn-
skis large barn swept from its founda-
ton up against the house and both
wrecked. Paul Huefner was taken
from the ruins of his elevator badly
hurt. Much damage is reported.in the
vicinity OF Coon Valley and Cashton.

Detroit, Aug. 12.-Wind. rain and
lightning caused an aggregate loss of
many thousands of dollars in various
parts of the state yesterday, but no
serious damage is reported from any
one section. At Big Rapids the de-
struction of crops, trees and small
outbuildings is quite general; Cold
water reports the destruction of many
barns with their contents in Branch
county by lightning, and st. Louis,
Saginaw and Metamora record con-
siderable damage by lightning and
wind. No casualties have so far been
heard of.

Georgia's Governor Acts Promptly When
Asked for Assistance.


Atlanta, Ga, Aug. IA company of
the Capitol City Guards under COM
mand of Captain Barker arrived here
late last night from jackson. Ga, es-
corting Lewis Williams, tramp ne
gro, to the Atlanta Jail for safekeeping.
The negro appeared at the farm house
of Mckinney Watkins, quarter of a
mile from Jackson, yesterday and
asked for some food. He was refused
and left the house. Soon after Mrs.
Watkins saw him returning, but be-
fore he reached the door she picked up
her baby and ran screaming from the
house.
Her husband supposing that she was
about to be assaulted chased the negro
half a mile, being joined by several
of his neighbors. The negro was
wounded by a pistol shot and easily
captured. He was taken to Jail, but a
large crowd assembling the sheriff
wired Governor Gambler for assist
ance. The governor quickly summoned
the Capitol City Guards and dispatched
them to Jackson.

died shortly after.
Both had been shot through the
temple. Bloodworth was 81 and Miss
Cooper was Is. They had been keep

the parents of the girl objected. A

that it was a case of suicide, and gave
the opposition to their love affair as
the cause.

Chicago, Aug. ia severe wind
and rain storm passed over Chicago
last evening, doing much damage. 1t
came from the northwest, and ap-
preached so rapidly and appeared so
threatening that there was general
fear that a cyclone was about to burst
upon the city. Awnings were torn away
and large number of plate glass win
wods blown in. The storm played
havoc with telegraph and telephone
wires in the downtown part of the city.
The most disastrous work of the
storm was the destruction of the skele
ton of the new St. JoSephat's Polish
Roman Catholic church at Southport
and Belden avenues, where the wind
wrought damage amounting to $4,000.
Late last night it was reported that
Stanley E. McGlew and a companion
