EARNINGS VERY LARGE.
Sleeping Cars Pay for Themselves In
Considerably Less Than
4 Year.

The well-patronized sleeping ear pays
for itself in considerably less than o
year Take the run from New York 10
Chicago, l eco miles. Every road in the
United States pays three cents a mile
for the privilege Of hauling a sleeper
and contracts TO return said car in as
good shape as it is received and to pay
for all damages. The journey on the
limited expresses to Chicago is made
in "a hours, therefore the ear earns
$50 a,day for travel.
If it is full, which Is generally the
case, receipts from berths, sections anG
staterooms amount to S1s5, making a
total revenue Of S2ij a day. Out of this
must come the wages of the porter ana
conduct or-the latter, however, usually
having charge Of several cars-the
towels. sheets, soap, ice, etc, the whole
amounting to but a small sum.
Then there are the wear and tear
and general depreciation the daily
cleaning, the annual reiitting and re
painting. Set these charges down al
ten per cent. and give the car three
trips a week of 900 miles each, and we
have its earnings at ever se9,0O0 an
nually. Some can earn a great deal
more.

One Case where Thieving Turk
Was Bltfen-HOw Justice Is
Melted Out.

The rapacity Of Turkish officials Of
all sorts is notorious, but that Of the
customs officers exceeds all other kinds.
An interesting instance of paying duty
in kind is to be recorded. An official
of the British embassy bought in Paris
a dress for his wife, for which he paid
Gl0. The customs official valued it at
C so and demanded duty on that
amount. The Englishman protested,
and, knowing the law, said they might
keep the dress, paying him the value
they had fixed upon IT, less the eight
per cent. This was done, and a month
later at the public action of confiscated
goods he bought back the dress for
Sc, thus getting the dress for moth
ing and making profit of 80 As on
the bargain.
Justice is meted out rapidly in Tur-
key. On one OCCASION a Kurd picked
up a tobacco box in the street, which
was promptly claimed by an Armenian
Just as they we're coming to Bows
a policeman interfered Both Arme-
uian and Kurd claimed the box, when
the former suggested that the Kurd
should say what was in it. Tobacco
and cigarette paper" promptly an
swered the Kurd Nothing Of The
sort" cried the Armenian. "It contain,
only five piastre piece The box wa:
gravely opened by the policeman, who
then said: "The Armenian is right
and the Kurd is liar" Here he smott
the Kurd's head. Furthermore, Al
lah be praisedl-for my trouble in de,
Gliding this complicated case l keel
the five piastres."

Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1900-08-03

The fusi1l Earty OF the state. in it's
platform, charges the republicans with
discriminating in favor of corporations
in the matter of taxation. The fact
that people who live in glass houses
should not throw stones was never bet
ter illustrated. The fusion board of
equalization in 1893 not only failed to
raise the assessment of railroad prop
erty, but reduced. This administra-
ton numbered among it's shining lights
such men as w. H. Standish, the great
corporatiOn-baiter Of Grand Forks,
then attorney general. The governor
was e. G. D. Shortridge, farmer, all
OF whose synlpathies were supposed to
be with the granger element. These
men failed ]amentably in their duty,
and as a result the state administration
and the treasury went into the hole
with the pop administration. On the
other hand, the republican state board
of equalization. for the past three or
four years, have been increasing the
railroad assessment steadily. The first
raise was something like a million
dollars and last year the board in
creased the valuation of railroad prop
erty over S4,uOO,O0O, raise of about
30 per cent.

RAID AT LAKOTA.

Lakota, July 31.-States Attorney
Erich of Nelson county caused the ar
rest of w. o. Lester, Charles Soder-
berg, Tony La Brier and a certain Mr..
Brown for violation of the prohibition
law. The men conduct various enter
prises at Lakota, and their places were
raided, resulting in Sheriff Dahl dis
covering nine barrels of 'non-toxo" of
different brands and few bottles lab
eled beer. The state witnesses were
furnished by the state enforcement
league, and they all maintained that
the "nontoxo' is nothing more than
beer. The cases have had a prelim-
mary hearing in a justice court, the
justice not having maue up his mind
as to the guilt or innocence of the
men.
