don Case.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena, Aug. l0.-The state board of
pardons to-day considered the pardon
recently granted by the governor to
Thomas Flynn of Beaverhead county,
but did not reach any definite conclus-
ion. Flynn was adjudged guilty of
contempt by Judge Parker in disobey-
ing a water right decree and sentenced
to pay a fine of $500 and costs of $304,
and to stand committed until both fine
and costs were paid. The governor re-
mitted all but 500 of the fine.
w S. Barbour of Dillon opposed the
pardon in person, contending it was a
civil matter entirely, therefore the gov
ernor had no jurisdiction. A local at
torney favored it and after hearing
both sides the board decided to post
pone the final consideration until next
Monday.

HIS GREAT WORK.

THREE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
Coming to West Virginia in the Shape
of River and Harbor Appropria-
tions-Thc Survey Of the Wheeling
dam Will be Made This Summer.
The Construction to Begin in 1000
and Completed In 1904.

Congressman D. 3. Dovener returned
yesterday from the national capital, af-
ter attending the late session of the fifty
fifth Congress. During the day the cap
tain met large number of his con-
stituents and on all sides he was met
with hearty congratulations upon the
great things he has accomplished for
his district and state--and even for ad-
| jaccnt states. as we'll. Certainly the
sentiment so often heard expressed, that

record ut the late session of Congress.
especially in the passage OF the rivers
and harbors bill.
or the s37.000.0OO appropriations car
ried in the rivers and harbors bill no
less than 100000 comes to West Vlr-
Ginla. Had this state received appro-
priations for the Improvement OF her
rivers In proportion to her population
she would have got less than million.
1t. can be seen. therefore. that West
Virginia was fortunate In having such 4
| lard working and influential represen-
tative looking after her interests, and
that Captain Dovener too, was fortu-
nate in being continued as q member OF
the rivers and harbors committee, for
without being on this most important
of the house committees he could not
| have welded the powerful influence that
accomplished so much for this state.
In addition to the West Virginia ap-
preparations, 1t was due largely to Cap
tain Dovener's influence that the appro-
priation for the Lorain harbor and that
for the Pittsburgh harbor were put
through. Wheeling Is interested In the
improvement OF the Lorain harbor on
account Of the heavy ore shipments to
this district from the lake ore regions.
With the improvements there completed
the largest ore boats on the lakes can
enter the harbor and reach the docks
on which are laid the tracks of the
Cleveland. Lorain & Wheeling railroad.
Captain Dovener gays the local survey
to establish the site OF the Wheeling
dam (No. l3) will be made this summer
by the United States engineers under
the direction OF Major W. II. BIxby, the
engineer officer in charge of the Ohio
river improvements. This work will be
completed before the end OF the year,
and in the spring of 1900 the work OF
construction on the dam will be started
and pushed vigorously. The captain
estimates that about four years will be
required for the completion OF the
dam. About 400 men will flnd steady
employment on this public work. The
dam at Marietta will be started at the
same time, and as many men will find
employment there.
The superstitiously inclined will stand
d!smayed to learn that the house rivers

AN IMPORTANT AMENDMENT.
To the War Revenue Law, and how it
fs Will hCrct Rus,ncss

| Ah.NtA AbuSlllCSS.
The local internal revenue officials
have received from Commissioner otIn-
ternal Revenue Wilson. notification that
the following amendment 10 the inter-
/ nal revenue law has become law:
Whenever any bond or note shall be
! secured by q mortgage or deed OF trust,
but one stamp shall be required to be
placed upon such papers, provided,
that the stamp placed thereon shall be
the highest rate required for such In
s.rumeats, or either OF them"
All the savings banks. trust compan.
les and private banking Interests in
New York favored this amendment, as
before 1t was passed stamps were re-
CURED on both the bond and mortgage
ad valorem, and In the case OF inst!tu-
tons doing n large mortgage business
the stamps frequently amounted to
thousands OF dollars week. 1t was
opposed on the ground that /. cons.l-
tuted double tax on each transaction,
and delegation OF bank attorneys
went to Washington TO seek relief. This
amendment is the only one OF those pro-
posed which! was adopted. Mr.. Wilson
further says:
You will, therefore. see tina, when a
bond is executed by private person,
and It !s secured by q mortgage. the tax
Is nifty cents on the bond. You Will
also see. according to the tax on mort
cages, that there is no tax accrulng on
q mortgage II the sum secured does not
exceed $1,000. The tax on mortgage
securing sum exceeding $1,000 ard not
exceeding $500 is twenty-five ccEts.
Therefore. In any case, where a mort
gage and bond is given by private
person for cum not exceeding $3.50,
the greater tax would accrue on the
bond. ard under the above amendment
the bond should be stamped.
AFTER. the secured sum o. 81 1900 Is ex-
ceeded. and the excess is not greater
than 5000, the taxation on the bond
and on the mortgage Is equal, being
fifty cents on each instrument When
ever the tax Is equal, 4: Is the ruling Of
this office that the mortgage SHOULD be
stamped and rot the bond"
Whichever of the two Instruments
does not bear the stamps should be In
dorsed with a statement that the other
is duly stamped.
