Cattle Shipped to Iowa to Feed and
Reship are Subject to Taxation.
Des Moines, Oct. 1.-THE supreme
court in a decision just handed down.
held that cattle brought into this
state, kept here for feeding purposes,
and then returned to the west whence
they came, were rightly taxable in
Iowa. The decision was in the case
of S. Fennell, appellant, VS.. o. b. Pau
ley ct al, an appeal from the Ere
mont supreme court and a decision
by Judge Walter l. Smith. The SUI
preme court, in an opinion written
by Judge Waterman, affirmed the
lower courts decision.
The action in the lower court was
an appeal from the action of a
board of equalization, which refused
to cancel an assessment made against
stock belonging to the plaintiff, JAM
uary l, 1896. The district court d f.
firmed the action of the board and
the plaintiff appealed from that trib
unal.
In 1895 and 1896 the plaintiff was IL
resident of Missouri. In December,
1895, he brought into Fremont coun-
ty, Iowa, 202 head o. cattle for feed
ing purposes and kept them on q
farm owned by him. In April, 1896,
the cattle were taken back to the
state of Missouri. The plaintiff
claims these cattle were assessed TO
him in Missouri ana the tax there
paid by him. 1t is contended the
property belonged to a nonresident
and being only temporarily in this
state was not taxable here.

Recomme nda tions as TO the Army In
Porto Rico.
| Washington, Oct. 12.-The war de,
partment has published the annual r.,
port of Brigadier General Davis, de,
partment of Porto Rico. 1t states
that when the organization of the
civil government shall have been com,
pleted and the civil machinery IS
working well there will be no neces-
sity to retain in the island so large
a force as at present. He cannot,
however, conceive it possible to limit
the garrison to force just sufficient
to take care of the guns at San Juan,
and he points out that the island of
| Porto Rico must have in the future,
| as it has in the past, great military
Importance. Spain expended more
than $4,000,000 on the Notifications of
| San Juan, and upon the surrender u
the United States for Notifications
were found to be of great strength
and the ornaments extensive. Cen
| eral Davis adds: st is inconceivable
that the United States will leave the
island without adequate protection of
men, ships and guns, the only land
owned by the United States in the
West Indies" Land for a naval sta
ton has been reserved, and coaling
and repair station probably will be
erected at San Juan. General Davis
says the armament should be increas-
ed and modernized, and the guns cared
for by sufficient force of artillery
men. He says the experiment of util-
izing the natives as soldiers has prov
ed marked success. During the
year over 30,voU,000 pounds of relief
supplies have been distributed by the
quartermaster's department. 1t has
been found impracticable to use
the native cattle for subsistence, and
the refrigerated beef from this coun-
try has been generally acceptable.
The cost of the relief suppnes IN aid
of the hurricane sufferers was $S24,-
S29. In the local elections General
Davis says there was never present at
or near voting place an armed force
and the "the bayonet was conspicuous
for its absence" The main election
under the act of congress establishing
an insular legislature with one house
elective has not yet been held,

Austin Christ Suddenly Disappears
From Knoxville.

Knoxville, Oct. 1.-THE Express,
published last evening, says:
"Austie Christ, ID well known
young Knoxville business man, got
team and buggy at Shive's livery
barn Thursday morning and started
for Pella. Since that time nothing
has been seen of him. He has, in
-act, absconded, leaving his business
and his creditors behind
suspicion had been aroused the
day before by some transactions with
Pella bank, and when Christ left
town the storm soon broke. 1t was
soon found that he had been doing
big business on no capital except
confidence, and that he had forged
notes right and left and had for a
long time eluded suspicion.
Christ had an implement and car
riage house on West Main street, and
did a big business in vehicles of all
kinds. He also had large stable
on East Robinson street, which was
continuously filled with driving
horses and other stock in which he
dealt. He frequently shipped car,
load of horses, and had good many
irons in the fire" The general i'm
preston was that he had a great
genius for trading and was making
money. He had first rate credit at
the banks and was a heavy borrower
on collateral security. Since his
abrupt leave it has been found that
much of his collateral is merely
copies of notes that he still had in
his possession"
1t is probable that Ghrist's liabili-
ties will reach $4,000 with assets at
$4,000. He took considerable money
with him and left forged notes for
about $1,000 behind.

POLICY TOO ERRATIC.
Powers Themselves Have fiindered
Negotiations.

Washington, Oct 12.-The recent
happenings in China, especially in the
province of Chile, have so far set back
peace negotiations that it may be a
matter of weeks or even months be-
fore the peace commissioners will be
able to get to work. Ill considered
military operations in Chile and else
where in China, are said to be re-
sponsible for the check which dip.
lomacy has met in reaching set
Element. Through the efforts of the
state department, seconded by more
moderate powers, steady and sys.
tematic pressure has been brought
to bear upon the Chinese emperor to
bring about his return to Pekin.
Representations from the great
southern viceroys to the emperor,
setting OUT the impossibility of sup
plying the court with money and food
if it persists in retreating to Tsinan
Flu in Shensi, was but one OF the
means which have been resorted to at
the instance of this government TO
secure the return of the court. All
efforts are neutralized. however, by
the spasmodic and unnecessary activ-
ity of the allied military forces.
There is no necessity whatever for
the Pao Ting Flu expedition, in the
judgment of officials here, and that
venture was straw which determin-
ed the imperial court to flee to the
western mountains. Ii Hung Chang
and the viceroys of the south had
pledged themselves to maintain or
der and guarantee protection for
foreigners and property in their re-
spectiye provinces.
This was made condition pre-
cedent by the United States govern
ment to the establishment of relations
with them looking for the imitation
of negotiations for final settlement.
According to all reports that have
reached Washington the viceroys had
lived Loyalty up to their promises in
spite of irritating military expedi-
tions and movements of various kinds
set up against their protests and,
therefore it is regarded as particular
iy unfortunate the allied forces
should persist now in the expedition
against Pao Ting Flu.

MINERS ANNOUNCE TERMS
VIII Accept Ten Per Cent Advance
Conditionally.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 15.-The an.
thracite coal miners now on strike,
after a two days convention, de-
cided to accept the 10 per cent in
crease in wages offered by the mine
owners, providing they will continue
the payment of the advance until
next April, and will abolish the slid
ing scale. If the operators consider
the proposition unacceptable, Ihe
miners are willing to arbitrate The
question at issue. They also decided
to continue the strike until the opera
tors agree to the conventions pro-
position. The resolution is as fol
lows:
Your committee respectfully sub
init the following preamble and reso-
lutions for your consideration:
Whereas, The anthracite coal
operators have posted notices offer
ing an advance of 10 per cent over
wages formerly paid, and have signi-
fied their willingness to adjust cur
grievances with their employees;
Whereas, They have failed to
specify the the length of time this
advance would remain in force, and
have also failed to abolish the slid
ing scale method of determining
wages,
I'VE would recommend that this con-
vention accept the 10 per cent ad-
vance, providing the operators. will
continue it's payment until April /.
1901, and will abolish the sliding
scale in the Lehigh and SchuyIkill re-
gions. The scale of wages in the two
last named districts to remain
stationary at 10 per cent above the
present basis price, and that the
operators agree to adjust other griev-
ances complained of with committed
of their own employees. Should this
proposition be unacceptable to the
operators, we recommend that the con.
vention propose that all questions At
issue be submitted to a fair and i'm,
partial board of arbitration.
1--WE would further recommend
that under no circumstances whatever
should there be resumption of work
at any of the collieries until the
operators signify their acceptance
of this proposition, and you are mott,
fed officially that the strike is ended
and all return to work in body on
the same day."
Judging by the unanimity of the
miners in accepting the above reso,
luton, and by the determined stand
taken by the operators, it is generally
believed that long contest between
the strikers and mine owners is no.
unlikely.

"A library in a garden" the aspira-
don of an old scholar who loved ma
Iure as we'll as books, is in a fair way
to be realized for verybody in Brook
Ign. By the cooperation of the public
library and the park commission there
were reading rooms and libraries in
three of the Brooklyn parks during
the summer, and one of them was
visited by more than 5000 persons in
a month. People who used to sit
around stupidity, half asleep, read
while enjoying the peace and quiet
of the place, and children found some
thing to do beside playing until they
were tired and quarrelsome. They all
are to be congratulated, but equally
warm congratulations are due to the
public library, which has found one
more way to fulfill its mission OF
reaching the public.

Des Moines, Oct. 1.-THE unusual
number of young hogs forwarded to

malignant form, but during the past
week the mortality among the hogs
attacked has been very great. Soma
herds numbering one hundred hogy
have been depleted to twenty, and
the disease continuing to spread,
farmers became alarmed and began
shipping to market. The presence
of hundreds of shoats among the
shipments attracted the attention of

100000 acres of land in the Colville
reservation were thr, wn open to set
Element yesterday. For many weeks
prospective homesteaders have been
gathering in this vicinity waiting for
the signal to enter the promised land,
and the opening saw rush of fully
10000 homesteaders madly eager to
secure possession and set their stakes.
The settlers are chiefly from Illinois,
Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa and the Da-
kotas. The land opened for settle
ment embraces the north half of the
Colville Indian reservation, which con-
tains 100000 acres. The country is
mountainous in character, with small
valleys, rolling hills and table lands.
The lanu is extremely rich in mineral
resources and is also blessed with
most desirable climate, extremes of
hot and cold weather being almost un-
known. In many localities of the res
ervation small grains, fruits and hay
grass may be grown with profit.

SIOUX CITY TO MAKE RECOUNT.
VIII Try to show Census Enumerators
Missed Many Names.

Sioux City, Oct. 15.-SiouX City ex-

ISOLATION, Mayor A. H. Burton sent
to Washington for copy of the lists
of names taken by the enumerators.
On their arrival the lists will be plac-
ed in charge of a number of expert
enced employees of the Commercial
association, who will make a second
enumeration to show the mistakes
and discrepancies of the government
enumerators. In one district, the
most populous, in which the census
bureau employed a woman, the Com
mercial association expects to show
that the official count was at least
1000 short. The work of the Polk
Directory company in making a new
directory has also brought out nu-
merous discrepancies in the official
count, all of which the business men
expect to disclose in their recount.

Deny NATURALIZATION of Negro.

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 13.-Judge Kirk
patrick, in the United States court,
refused naturalization papers to Rob-
ert Spaulding (colored). 1t was re-
fused on the ground that the federal
laws permit the naturalization OF
white males only. Spaulding is a
graduate of Howard university of
Washington, ID. c., and had expected
to take up the study of law. His in
ability to become naturalized will
prevent his admission to the bar.

case to Attorney General Briggs. A

almost incredible case of superstition
is reported from Czech village of Nets
chin. 1t appears that in the spring the
village schoolmaster there died, and
was, in due course, buried with every
mark Of esteem on the part Of the in
habitants. But now the villagers are
one and all clamoring that he may be
exhumed. The reason for this strange
wish is that he is held responsible by
them for the fact that long spell OF
drought has set in, to the great loss
OF all the farmers in that district. 1t
is not so much the defunct schoolmas-
ter who is to blame as his sorrowing
relations, who, ignorant of the super
stitions prevalent there, were unwise
enough to place under the poor man s
head a cushion stuffed with feathers!
According to the ignorant peasants
this is a sure means of causing a pro-
longed drought, and until the feathery
pillow is removed they maintain tina,
no rain will fall.
