Announcement is made that Tom Burns

Demont had he been certain that the latter

Twirler Wadsworth. the left-winged slab
artist who was a member Of the Babes when
their presence adorned this burg, seems to
be omewhat In demand. He was trans
ferred to Buffalo with the other effects OF

from Detroit after he had been transferred
from Buffalo to Detroit. Incidentally 1t
should be mentioned that Buffalo Is talking
of securing old Dan Brouthers to hold down

Baltimore may revive its old pitching star,
Dumping Mcmahon. Dumping says that
his once trusty and crafty pitching arm has

mary factors in the success of the Orioles,
but he tore one OF the muscles In his win.

THE BEAM IN HIS OWN EYE.

| Atkeson takes Us to task foI
supporting Carroll for Labor Com
missioner because, forsooth, he at
one time WAS so ungallant as to call
US Granny Allen" He forgets the
Biblical injunction that to err is
human, to forgive is divine We
probably are at fault because We do
not treasure up spleen, but we are
glad that We are 30 constituted that
We can find the beam in our own
eye, and are always willing to extend
hand to a brother who has the
manhood to admit his errors There
are a number of good men in Bates
who have not always agreed with US
and who probably in the heat of
campaign have said unpleasant
things about US, bat who to day are
among our best friends. Now,
brother Atkeson, in ell kindness. we
would suggest that you study anew
that great and grand lesson Of tol
Grafton And remember that your
praise doesn't make Carroll, Hackett
ct al good men, neither does your
abuse make them bad men, either in
fact or in the eyes of their fellow
men. You are simply voicing your
own opinions, and the evidence you
give will have to be looked upon
with suspicion, for you are a preju-
diced witness. Were we inclined to
retort in kind to his structures We
would reminds Bro Atkeson that at
one time he was prolific in his
praises of the men be is now so
virulently abusing, and ask if he is
the conscience keeper for these gan
tlemen and expected them to ask for
his permission before they changed
their opinions on public questions.
The plain, unvarnisbed truth ia
that Atkeson attempted to lead the
populIst party into the republican
camp, ard such men as Carroll and
Hackett refused to be led. That is
the beginning and foundation for his
great auimofity to these gentlemen.

General Miles Plans for Better Test Of
EmbaImed Beef
Washington, January % ior
General Miles has notified the War
Investigation Commission that be
has obtained two boxes of canned
meats issued to the Porto Rican
array last fall.
These boxes and the cans will be
opened in the presence of the COM
mission in order that there may be
no question such as might arise if a
couple of the cans were presented to
that body. The boxes were for
warded to General Miles by Captain
Francis G. Bean, commanding
Battery G, Pennsylvania Volunteer
Infantry, and subsequent to their
dispatch he received a communica
ton from the War Commission
asking that it nigh. be furnished
with samples. Ia an accompanying
letter Captain Bean states that one
of the boxes contains four cans of
boiled beef aud the other FIVE cans
of roast beef They were furnished
to him for the use of his men on
September 5 last at Ponce
1t has been Captain Bean con-
tention that the meat supplied TO
his com mand was wholly unfit for
use, but he preserved some of the
boxes issued il order to be- prepared
for any investigation that might be
made. The commission has COM
planned that it has been unable to
obtain any Of the timed meats sup
piled to the Porto Rican army, and
now that il has secured a number Of
cans great deal Of interest ceuters
around its examination Of their
contents.
General Miles has forwarded to
the commission 81 reports of |
commanding officers relative to the
character of the meats supplied to
their commands. These reports were
called for by the Major General
commanding, through the regular
channels. Nine commands
are still to be heard from. None of
the reports is at all favorable to the
beef. The commands from which
reports have been received served in
both Cuba and Porto Rico.

TO TAX EVIDENCES OF DEBT.
The Slate Bill Has Been Reintroduced in the
House

The Slate Bill Has Been Reintroduced in The
House.
Jefferson City, Mo, Jan. 10
Representative Slate, OF Maries
county, introduced his famous
assessment bill in the house this
afternoon. It is a modified form of
the measure which passed the
Assembly two yesrs ago. but was
vetoed by Governor Stephens The
Governor has promises that if the
same bill passes at this session he
will approve it. Slate is prepared TO
make a desperate effort to pass the
bill this session as his devotion to it
amounts 10 hobby
The bill is an act to tax all evi
dsnces of debt, a class of wealth
which It's author believes is entirely
too free from the harden OF taxation.
In the original, two years ago, the
measure provided that notes, stocks
and bonds must bear the stamp of
the Assessor before they could be
negotiated or collected. This fea-
ture, which was much objected to,
has been eliminated from the present
measure. The bill provides that all
such evidences of debt must be list
ed and stamped by the Assessor and
the list must be accessible for
inspection IF the maker of any note
knows that the note has not been
listed and stamped he may decline
to pay II the payee sues, he imme-
diately lays himself liable to a fine
of from S25 to $1,000 forfeiture TO
the school fund for failure to obev
the Law. This provision practically
makes the payer of every note, stock
or bond possible informer against
tbs payee.

give security to life and property of
