ment Bonds With Bank Stock.
Des Moines. March s.-Attorney
General Remley has decided for All
ditor of State Merriam, that the as
SCISSORS of the state need not deduct
the amount of government bonds held
by national banks and other banks
from the stock on which they are as
sessed as has been the custom hereto
fore.
The auditor asked the attorneys
opinion and the opinion was trans
n1itted Monday. The bank as an insti-
tuition owns the bonds and while the
national banks pay the taxes on the
capital and charge the taxes against
the dividends of the stockholders. the
individual stockholders, in reality, are
taxed and not the bank itself The
attorney general also says that the as
SCISSORS should use every means to de-
termine the actual value of the stock,
not taking into account exclusively
the par value, surplus and undivided
profits, as provided by law, but also
the market value.

THRASHER MEAD
 AGAIN AT WORK
Believed to Have Dynamited a
 Safe at Enterprise, Miss.
HAS LONG CRIMINAL RECORD
His List of Robberies Second Only to That of the Notorious Rube Bur rows-He Was Arrested
 at Mobile.

Meridian, Miss, January 1.-The post office at Enterprise, Miss, was blown open with dynamite Monday night and the per petrator escaped after obtaining consid- erable amount of stamps, money orders and cash.
 It Is now supposed that the robbery was committed by Thrasher Mead, one of the most desperate criminals in the country. Mead was arrested in Mobile and brought back to Enterprise today, but not until after a desperate fight with the officers. A large quantity of postage stamps, blank money orders and S1, ,13S in cash stolen from the safe in the Enterprise postoffice were recovered. Mead has a criminal rec ord that is hardly second to that of the mo- torious Rube Burrows. For nearly ten years he has infested the railroads of Mis- sissippi and Alabama, and is known to have been intimately connected with a band of negro robbers in Chicago. Mead broke into the postoffice at Alderman, Miss, in the latter part of 1896, and was arrested and taken to the jail at Aberdeen. He sawed his way out in December, 1896, and was next heard of in Chicago. In 1897 he was arrested at Jacksonville Fla. and taken to Kosciusko, Miss. While there he formed a conspiracy with trustys who were al- lowed outside of the cage and they over powered and choked Sheriff McMillan and escaped with six others. Mead is known to have been implicated in five train robber- ies, and the Southern Express company have proof that he blew open safes in their offices at Aberdeen and Durant, Miss, dur ing the past year. He has escaped from twenty-one jails and once from the Ala bama penitentiary, and the express compa- nies offered large rewards for his arrest, and the officers who effected his capture will receive several thousand dollars.

AGUINALDO'S IDEAS.
Says the Spaniards Are Better Fighters
 in the Tropics Than Americans.

London, January 12.-The Berlin corre- spondent of the Standard says that Pro- lessor Bumentritt Aguinaldo's representa- tive there, writes to the Tageblatt as fol- lows: "The Americans being addicted to drink, are less able to fight in the tropics than the sober Spaniards. A guerilla war could be kept up for six or eight years, during which the inevitable conflict be- tween the powers in Eastern Asia would afford the Fiipinos chance.
 "All the Jesuits and Benedictines are at liberty, only the other orders have been kept prisoners The former are now pro- American, because American rule offers the only hope of retrieving their fortunes. Ill treatment of prisoners is severely punished, while nuns are not molested, most of them being natives. The Americans imagine they can buy the insurgent army for $3,- 900 900, but the Filipnos anticipate that an American party inspired by Washington S spirit will yet come into power and grant them independence"

DEMOCRATS ARE
 ALSO DIVIDED
Cannot Decide on an Opponent
 to Senator Quay.
TWO NAMES MENTIONED
Have a Majority of Seven ty-four on Joint Ballot, But Are Split Up Over Quay-Balloting Will
 Begin Wednesday,.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 1.-The selection of a successor to Matthew Stanley Quay in the United States senate has created almost as much contention among the democrats in the legislature as it has in the republican ranks. With the democrats the question is or Chauncey F. Black, of York, shall be the nominee of tomorrow's caucus in the supreme court chamber. With the republl- cans it is the field against Quay, with nel- ther faction certain as to the outcome. The republicans have a majority of "A on joint ballot, and the only way the democrats hope to win is by split in the republican ranks
 Senator Quay has a majority of votes 10 start with in his own party, but as long as the antl-Quay legislators stand together he cannot be reelected. While the democrats are divided on the selection of a candidate to be voted for against Quay, they agree that the senator will not poll any demo- cratic votes.
 Many of the legislators are predicting that there will be a deadlock and that a senator will not be elected until after the trial of the Quay-Haywood conspiracy case in the Philadelphia courts. Senator Quay reached here at midnight from Washington to take personal direction of his campaign. Sem ator Penrose came with him.
 The senate and house will vote jointly next Wednesday.

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad- vanoed years are realized by compara- lively few women. a
 Their hard lives, their liabilityItc se- rious troubles on account of their pecu- liar organism and their profound igno- rance concerning themselves, all com bine to shorten the period of usefulness and fill their later years with suffering.
 Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make women strong. She has given advice to many that has shown them how to guard against disease and retain vigor- ous health in old age. From every cor ner of the earth there is constantly com ing the most convincing statements from women, showing the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound in overcoming female ills. Here is letter from Mrs. J. c. Orms, of 220 Horner St., Johnstown, Pa., which is earnest and straight to the point:
 DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel it my duty to tell all suffering women that I think your remedies are wonderful. had trouble with my head, dizzy spells and hot flashes. Feet and hands were cold, was very nervous, could not sleep we'll, had kidney trouble, pain in ovaries and congestion of the womb. Since taking your remedies am better every way My head trouble is all gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am cured of womb trouble. I can eat and sleep well and am gaining in flesh. I consider your medicine the best to be had for female troubles"
 The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi- ence in treating female ills is unparal- lelled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing women during single year.

MEN AT WORK.
L. & N. Will Complete Line Between
 Repton and Pineapple.

Selma, January n.-(Special) - There comes reliable information today that work has actively begun on the completion of the gap on the Selma and Pensacola branch of the Louisville x Nashville railroad be- tween Repton and Pine Apple. It is stated that six hundred men commenced work yesterday at Repton, and that by the end of February the gap will be completed, or very nearly so.

ARRESTED FOR
 FORGING CHECKS

DISCHARGED FROM ARMY
On Account of His Debts, and Is Said to Be Director of Notorious Gamb- ling House Frequented by
 German Officers.

 It was announced in the Berlin letter of the Associated Press under date of Decem- Der IT, last, that a gambling scandal af- fecting a number of members of the Ger man aristocracy had been brought to light. It appears that stranger introduced to the club, an organization frequented by the smart set," by two highly respected mem- bers, he soon became a favorte and all went swimmingly until rumors about his antecedents began to circulate, and it was noticed that he was invariably favored by luck The Berlin Tsgeblatt said the strang- CT got many young men of the best families on his paper, several club men lost immense sums and the affair was looked upon as likely to have serious results for the midi tary officers implicated in view of the de- termination of the emperor to suppress gambling in the army. It was also said that the whole affair would be sifted in the law courts.
