Chnmn CLARK ON the stumr.

Representative Dolliver, OF iowa, and
Champ Clark, of Missouri. are on the
lecture platform, Throughout the West.
A few days ago thev spoke at Des
Moines, where, according to the Leadsy,
of that city, Champ opened the betting
on the outcome of the Presidential
campaign. While he was sitting on the
front porch Of the Kirkwood Hotel he
engaged in political talk to the effect
that he had skinned Dolliver on the
expansion question, and that Dolliver
would admit he had been "eaten up
raw" Venturing an opinion that Bryan
would be the next Pre- sident ofthe United
States, Mr.. Clark was told by one OF the
bystanders. a certain William Balzer,
that he Clark was only voicIng his
preference, and did not believe what be
said.
Thereat Mr.. Clark pulled roll Of long
green, which he offered to bet even on
Bryan's election. The said Balzer took
SIoo, and the total was posted with
stakeholder The Zsadsr then describes
the stalwart MlssourIan as prancing out
into the bOtel lobby waving more OF
big roll over his head and inquiring
whether there was other Mckinley
none in the town. A certain William
Lambert scraped together $50, and Mr.
Clark covered it, and forthwith wanted
to bet S., Sro. or $40 that either New
York, Maryland, Indiana, or Kentucky
would go for Bryan. The Republicans
of the town began to hustle for money.
and finally succeeded in covering all
that Mr.. Clark could produce, over S2oo.
Even several checks with the Missouri
ians signature attached were accepted
and placed in the hands OF shareholders
This was saturday last, bur as Mr., Clark
expected to remain in town tall Monday,
he sportily told the .bystanders that he
believed he could raise $500 more, all
of which he would be glad 10 plank

The German Vote.

The tendency OF she German vote
commands just now the very closest
attention of Congressional campaign
committees in this city. At Democratic
Congressional headquarters where the
observation Of the German vote extends
10 the Middle West, especially Michigan.
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin,
there are encouraging signs. There are
undoubted evidences OF dissatisfaction
with President McKinley's imperialistic
Administration. and every effort is being
made to confirm them in these views.
The Western Germans seem to have
been prejudiced to no small extent by
the speech OF Senator Lodge wherein
he predicted that war with Germany
was inevitable The logic of events
have also influenced many Germans
there that real danger turks in imper-
ialism, something that they fed from
the Fatherland to avoid. All this is
indicated in the extensive correspond
ence, which is always begun with every
campaign and conducted by both parties
till election day Tor the purpose Of
keeping in touch with local conditions.

MARRIED ON THE SLY.-Mr Albert
LiebeT, the wealthy brewer. of Indian.
apolis, indiana. has returned from
Germany, where he was called by the
sickness Of his parents, bringing with
him a BRIDE IN the person Of Mrs. Ora
Lane Tolk, of GAINESVILLE, Ohio. whom
he married three months ago at Duck
Hill, Miss simultaneously with the
marriage Mr. Lieber received a cable
apprising him OF his parents condition,
and they sailed at once for Germany,
keeping the wedding a secret except
from their closest friends. Mr. I.ieber
and wife spent a week at the French
Exposition,
He reports that very few English
people are visiting the Fair, llrgely due
to the feeling between the two countries,
which continues at hig; tension In all
French places OF amusement studied
insults continue to be hurled at the
British, The French tradesmen, he
adds, are not reaping the benefit they
expected from the FAIR. and they will
hold the Government responsible be-
cause of the DreYfus case.
II looks to Mr.. Lieber that after the
Exposition is over is over the French
people will have to plunge into war or
do something else sensational to prevent
an internal reaction that will test the
foundations OF the Government.

DISCOUNT o BEER STAMPS

DlhAOUNA ~ AAAhAN - aN@-N
Acting Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue, Robert Williams, Jr., has
written to the United States Attorney
at Chicago as follows:
Sir: Your letter Oi the I6.h ultlmo,
reporting that the Court OF Appeals had
affirmed the decision OF Judge Kohlsaat
in the case OF c, vne, Collector "
Manhattan Brewing Company, was duly
received.
There have been a number OF suits
which have been instituted against
collectors, In which the same question
is involved as in this case Section
334I, Revised Statutes, provided that
1.-The Commissioner OF Internal Rev.
enue shall allow upon all les oi such
stamps for the tax on termented liquors
to any brewer, and bV him used IN his
business, deductio IL per cent
The internal revenue collector, pur-
suant to the uniform practice, sold
stamps to the plaintiffs, who were brew
ers, and upon such sales, aud at the
times thereof, allowed a deduction oi
IN per cent These stamps, although
purchased before Tor use, were not
actually used IN payment Of taxes until
after the Dingley Act took effect, which
act omitted, and thereby repealed, the
previous statutory direction for the
allowance ofthe { teduction above stated.
Your attention is called to the decision
in the case of the Nassau Brewing Com
pany v. Moore. Collector FEB. Rep,
939).
All the cases which have been lried,
both in the Circuit Court and in. the
Circuit Court OF Appeals, have been
decided against the Government The
court, in the case OF the Nassau Brewing
Company v, Moore, Collector, said:
"When the Government ofthe United
States, following the practice observed
by II tor N my years sold at deduction
OF n per Mt. a stamp Of the denomi'
nation of one dollar, and assured the
purchaser that the stamp was worth a
whole dollar for the purpose OF paving
taxes, such stamp should have a ia pay
ing power equal to the highest obi cation
issued by the Government; and if, after
such sale, the purchaser used the stamp
in his business, he should be deemed to
have fulfilled every obligation resting
upon him, and to have perfected the
right ini lated BY his purchase"
This Office has decided not to contest
the matter any further, but will accept
the decision Of the court IN the case OF
CoVne. Collector. v Manhattan Brewing
Company. Please notify the plaintiff
that the clsim will be paid # presented
in the proper form through the collector
OF internal revenue,
The other suits in the United States
Circuit Court, in your district, against
Collector COyne, in which the same
question is involved, will be disposed Of
in the same manner-that is, the claims
for refund will be adjusted on the basis
Of the decision in the case above
mentioned.

TaIismans In China.

The belief in the potency Of charms,

one which confers invulnerability on
the wearer. This useful quality may
also be obtained, / was informed, by

CLOCK
That Does the Work of
Several Men.
New Invention For Operation Of Num-
ber OF VuIcanizers.

Messrs. A. Il. Ellinwood and Frank
A. Selberling of this city have secured,
through their attorneys Humphrey "
operating plurality of vulcanizers for
bicycle tires. II is II departure from
the usual machines for that purpose.
The vulcanizers are two hollow annu
lar cases, one fixed and the other hing
ed to 1t like n snuff box. Steam pipes
regulated by valve to convey steam
to these cases. and steam cylinder,
provided with n valve, closes the cases
and locks them together and releases
and opens them when the tire is vul-
canlzed. But the most novel feature is
the manner in which they are operated.
A clock Is connected with these vul-
canizcrs. of which there may be as
many as the floor space will allow,
closes the vulcanizers by turning the
steam TO the cylinders to close them,
locks them together, turns steam into
the cases 10 heat them to vulcaulze the
tire and turns 1t of again at the proper
time and unlocks and opens the mold.
All that the attendant has to do is to
place an unvulcanized tire in one of the
molds, insert the tube to initiate it with
steam, and pull a trigger, the clock does
the rest, so thnt when there are n
number of these vulcanizers operated
by the same clock, the attendant hay-
ing placed unvulcanIzed tires In them,
waits until they begin to open when he
takes the cured tires from each in
turn, and places u new one in It's place,
and then pulls the trigger. The inven.
ton is owned by tho Goodyear Tire
Il Rubber Company in whose works n
set of the vulcanizers has been in opcr-
alton for some time.
