state auditor in which he says that in
determining the value of national
bank stock for assessment for taxation
/ no deductions should be made from

invested in real estate should under
statute be deducted, but nothing else
can be. While United States bonds as
such are not taxable and the state
does not attempt to tax them, the
stock of the bank is taxable in the
hands of the stockholders. The value
Of such stock may be enhanced by the
fact that the bank owns government
bonds and assessors should consider
such bonds in fixing the value OF the
stock. The numerous decisions. state

WASHINGTON, March s.-President
Mckinley has decided not to avail
himself of the authority granted by
the compromise army bill to organize
a provisional army of IS. 900 volunteers.
After consulting with officials of the
war department the president has
decided that, in view of the present
favorable outlook in Cuba and the
prospect of the complete suppression
of the Philippine insurrection at an
early day, it will not be necessary,
after the present volunteer forces have
been mustered out, to have more than
the G5, 900 men allowed for the regular
army until July l, 1901. 1t is also his
purpose to expedite the withdrawal Of
volunteers from Cuba and the Philip
pines as rapidly as possible and mus
ter them out of the service. All the
volunteers are to be brought home
from Cuba without delay, and those
in the Philippines will be brought
home as soon as enough regulars can
be sent out to take their places.

4 ARMY BEEF Investigations

WASHINGTON, March 4. Captain
Groom testified that for two weeks ont,
Of the four in Porto Rico his command
lived on canned roast beef. He heard
no complaint Of it from the men. The
refrigerated beef was good, except
sometimes it was tainted ON the edges
and had to be trimmed. Colonel Case
testified that canned roast beef, II left
open in the cans, spoiled between
meals. If stewed, a whole can at a
time, it proved very satisfactory.
Alfred Foote, sergeant of the Second
Massachusetts,, said the roast beef
tasted "bleached." The refrigerated
beef generally spoiled before it was
cooked. Captain Critchfield, of the
Eighth Ohio, said he had been made
sick by eating refrigerated beef. l..
L. Melius. of the First Volunteer En-
gineers, said his weight fell from 15G
to 06 pounds. He had difficulty in
eating any of his rations. 1t was
brought out that the refrigerated
beef served aboard the, Yale, was SO
offensive that it was repulsive even in
SOUPS and stews.
WASH .;GToN, March 1.-THE war de-
partment court of inquiry has held
the last session before it will start for
the west to inspect the packing house
plants of Chicago, Omaha and Kansas
City. Lieutenant Frederick L. Mum
son, of the Ninth infantry, testified
that during service in Cuba up to the
surrender Of Santiago, his command
had as a meat component OF ration,
bacon and canned beef in proportion
about ten days of the former to fifteen
days of the latter. Until the surren-
der he received no complaints of the
canned roast beef, but after the sur
render his commissary sergeant re-
ported something making the men
very sick. They did not know what
It was, but thought it was something
they had eaten. After eliminating
every factor they could think of, they
concluded it must be the canned beef.
He ordered the cooks to try fixing the
meat in stews with hard. tack and
tomatoes, but it seemed TO make no
difference. The men continued! sick.
They then discontinued to use the
beef. On the voyage home they still
had canned roast beef, but the men
did not eat it. He tried to turn it IN
to the commissary at Montauk, but
the commissary would not receive it.
CHICAGO, March 1O.-The court of
inquiry arrived here from Washington.
A short executive session was held at
the army headquarters in the pullman
building. and it resulted in a decision
to defer the taking of testimony until
after an inspection had been made OF
the packing houses at the stock yards,
where the refri gerated beef and the
canned beef are prepared. The whole
day was spent at the stock yards. and
the going over of the 400 acres of floor
space in one of the establishments was
all the court was able to do.

it hopes to make 4 closing century ex'
position a feature of the next state
fair The aim will be to make gem
eral exhibition of all industries which
thrived in the state in the early part
of the century, together with the de-
velopments in every line since that
time. 1t is not expected TO make the
exhibition in separate building. IL
is likely that each department will
have share in it. For instance the
developments in agricultural imple-
ments will be shown in the implement
building alongside those of the present
day. In the art, agricultural and
other departments it will be the same
way. There is also a plan on foot to
secure an exhibition from the recently
acquired territory of Hawai-.
