Bryan Trees A Panther.
ROped and Presented to the Siluer
Champion.

Austin, Tex, December 27.-One
of tho biggest panther and Mexic IN
lion hunts ever given in Texas oc-
Cured today in the hills in honor OF
Col. William Jennings Bryan. The
hunters numbered over 200 men. 1t
was mostly crowd of state officials
bankers, business men and cowboys
from all parts of the state.
The party left here at an early
hour this morning for the rough To-
cality where the panthers and Mex
lean lions have been committing de-
predations on farmers and stockmen.
A farmer living OIL Bartlett's Creek
informed the crowd that panther
had attacked and killed fat calf on
his place last night, and it was
thought that the animal was still in
that vicinity. This surmise proved
correct and the several packs of
hounds struck the scent where the
calf had been killed, and few min
utes lator the panther was routed
from his lair and was seen bounding
across the country several hundred
yards ahead of the hounds.
Bryan, ex-Gov. Hogg and several
cowboys got in the chase imr ediate
ly and followed the dogs for about
ten miles, when the panther took re-
fuge in tree. The animal leaped
from the tree and was about to get
away when one of the cowboys
deftly roped him. The dogs were
driven off and the animal securely
bound. He was presented on the
spot to Bryan, and the latter will
Immediately ship him to Lincoln,
Nebraska,
The hunt continued until late in
the afternoon, but without other re-
suits. A mexican lion was reused
but the dogs lost the scent and lie got
away. Bryan rode a wiry broncho,
which had strong bucking proclIvi-
ties, and his affects to retain his
seat in the saddle afforded much
amusement to the cowboys.

The War Tax Maintains.

II IL Is true, ae stated by the AID.
ministIation organs, that the bal
ance sheet of the country will show
a surplus of bO,OOO,OOO for the fiscal
year ending next July, IL seems time
that steps should be taken either to
abolish the irksome war revenue
taxes, or else to remove the protect
i've duties on goods controlled by
trusts. 1t is understood, however,
that the administration Is apposed
to either course of action. The only
hope for the passage of the ship sub
si0y bill, which lies so hearts--and
pockets-of the Republican leaders
lies in the possession af an overflow
ing Treasury. AS long as the war
revenue law is on the statute books,
no one is likely to make any very
violent protest against it, but If 1t is
once repealed, it would be destrnct-
ion to any party to try to reenact it
in order to obtain little chance of re-
lief at present. Before the summer
Is over, however, the trusts are like
ly to be put to it to preserve the tar
LII taxes that enable them to plunder
the people. The Presidents Thanks
giving Proclamation says we are at
peace with all nations, but yet mill
ions of dollars are squeezed out Of
the poor people every day for war

Multi Mckinley Again.

1t Is difficult to understand how
the President can sustain the action
of Secretary Gage in loaning such
enormous sums to the national
banks, without changing his former
opinions on this as completely as
he changed them on the silver
question when expediency riquired
him to do so. During President
Cleveland's first term, Secretary
Fairchild loaned out some $59,OOO,.
600 under similar circumstances,
and was roundly denounced by the
then Representative Mckinley for
so doing. His speech appears in
the Congressional Record of Feb
ruary 20, 1888, and runs in part, as
follows:
"Nearly $59,OOO,OOO, as 1 under
stand, of the surplus money that
ought to be in the Treasury to-day,
the Secretary having refused to pay
it out to Government creditors, is
now out among the banks, held by
them, they giving to the Govern
ment bonds as security for the de-
posit; and they are getting it with
out interest. They have the sur
plus money of the Treasury In their
own hands, and they collect the
accruing interest On the Govern
ment bonds which they have de-
posted as security, when if the
Administration had used the $50,
100000 and bought a corresponding
amount of bonds with that sum,
those bonds would have been can.
celled and the interest on that sum
would have been stopped. And !
charge here to-day, that the Presi-
dent Of the United States and his
Administration, are solely respon-
sible for whatever congested con
dltion we have In the Treasury,
and whatever alarm prevails about
the finances of the country"

They Suppress the Truth.

There is something very sugges-
tive in the reluctance of the Re-
publican Senators to permit the
adoption of resolutions of inquiry
addressed to the President in re-
ference to affairs at Manila. The
Secretary of War, backed by his
friends, General Otis, asserts that
the war is over and the islands are
practically pacified. If this be
true, there can no longer be need
of a censorship over the official re-
ports of our army and navy officers
there. If Admiral Dewey did
salute the Filipino flag, thereby ac-
knowledging the Filipino govern
ment, the country has a right to
know it. If Aguinaldo did ask for
peace two days after the fighting
began, and If General Otis told him
that the war "must go on" why
should the facts be concealed +?
Yet the Senate has recently voted
down two resolutions respectfully
asking for information ON these
points. Surely the Administration
does not fear that the admission of
the truth would incite those scat
tered bands of rebels to reunite the
fight agaln-especially as they
must know the facts already.
Aguinaldo, according to General
Otis, is so thoroughly whipped that
no amount of knowledge can be of
any use to him. If the President
is determined to give no informa-
tion as to the true state of affairs
in the Philippines, why not adopt
the imperia'lstic remedy Of dissol-
wing Congress when it does not
agree with him and so end the
matter for good and all?

More Bachelors Than Old Maids.

Old maids in the United States
are outnumbered by the bachelors,
although it is popularity supposed
that the contrary is the case. To
come to exact figures, there are
7,427,767 bachelors and 3,224,494
spinisters. This is upon the auth
crity of the Government report.
Even in Massachusetts, where il
was thought that old maids con-
stitute large proportion of the
population, they could each find a
husband and then not exhaust the
stock of single menj for there are
226,Os5 men and only 2l9,255 women
who have not yet entered into the
bonds of matrimony.
New York State has 100, 600 more
bachelors than spinisters. Only
one State In the union has more
female celibates than male, and
Inat ls California, IN which there
are 59,456 of the former and 22,S29
OF The latter. The State of Wash
ington has perhaps the largest ex-
cess of fOrlorn single men-SO.537
all told, unmarried damsels num-
bering only 9,lS1.
Out of an equal number Of bache.
lors and widowers between % and
aO years of age, thirty widowers
remarry to every thirteen bache-
lors. to enter the bonds of hymen
for the first time.
For every spinister married be-
tween 80 and IS, two widows are
remarked. Both facts are eloquent
in favor of the comparative ad.
vantages of matrimony.

Physicians
Must Pay Internal Revenue Tax.

The internal revenue bureau has
decided that a physician who pre-
scribes to his patient, whiskey,
brandy, wine or any other alcohol
ic liquor that is not admixture of
any drug or medical Ingredient
Herewith, is required to pay spec
ial tax as a retail liquor dealer,
even though the alcoholic liquor
thus furnished be prescribed as a
medicine only and so used.
The decision arose over the case
of DR.. w. M. Sivey, druggist and
physician, at Tunnelton, w. Va,
who keeps a small drug store to
furnish medicines to patients, and
who sometimes prescribes stimu-
lants for patients and furnishes it
only on his prescription as physi-
clan.
Collector White, at Parkersburg,
was instructed to inform DIR. Sivey
that he e. uld not do this without
subjecting himself to the special
tax as retail liquor dealer.

Washington, Jan. 10. 19OO-As soon
as Congress reassembled the ham.

was begun. Senator Allen and Re.

Wheeler j. YOung's Assignment.
columbus Record /

columbus Record
Last Saturday afternoon Wheeler
j. Young, for the past four years
Sheriff of Franklin county, made
an assignment of all his property
to III. j. Booth valued at $4,000
This caused great excitement in
the community, and many wild
rumors were soon afloat.
The surprise was universal, and
1t was soon in everybody's mouth
that he had mOrtgaged his property
for all he could get on 1t, before the
assignment, and had ran away to
Mexico with the money in his
pocket, leaving his creditors to
hold the bag, and his bondsmen to
settle his official shortage. But all
these rumOrs were groundless. He
did not mortgage his property at
all, and Its value IL five times as
much as his personal Indebtedness,
while his books AMI accounts as
sheriff are as straight as a string.
just why Mr.. Young made an
assignment, and why he left the
city or keeps himself concealed is
q mystery.

there was no 0 period in the pro.

and yet claiming that the Goth cen

years of the centuries coincide with
the birthdays noted above. You
add the first or cipher 100 years to
the birth years of the subsequent
centuries to find their age. Thus
the first numerically designated
