lay on a cot in an adjoining ward. asked
repeatedly during the night concerning his
wife. and daughter Although Mr.. Schmid-
lapp's injuries are not dangerous. the at
tending physician did not consider it wise
TO let him know the fatalities, and he was
led to believe that his folks were resting
easily.

whose right arm was crushed and who was
pinioned for some time under a window
pane, displayed great nerve in waiting to
be extricated. Ee waited three hours for
medical treatment. His arm is so badly

Ex-senator Edmunds, of Vermont, has

estimation Mr.. Bryan stands for so many

publicanism that he prefers to trust his
own party in spite of its advocacy OF ex-

from those best able to pay. We are, however, not shut out from an in- heritance tax, or franchise tax and we pretend to tax personal property under state laws. But our franchise tax law is treated with contempt by the great corporations, our personal property assessments are farce, our inheritance tax collections, state and national, are trifiing, and in every important case the law is stubbornly resisted and the tax paid only after every resource of evasion has been exhausted.
 This is really remarkable. It almost justifes the conclusion that we are a nation of tax dodgers, or that we con sider tax lodging as test of patriot ism, Certain it is that if the courage and persistence were shown in fight. ing for honest government that are displayed in fighting against honest taxation, it would not be in the power of the scoffer to declare that purity in politics was ''an irideScent dream.

ARTISAN WATER IN GRAHAM.
Letter from Jack Farrell to the Bulle- tn Gives Interesting Facts
 About the Wells.

Thinking that it might be of inter est to the readers of the Bulletin to know in detail the results of the Dor ing for artesian water in the district called by the owners Artesia. l will submit few facts gathered by per SOnal investigation and from informa- tion received from some of the most reliable parties interested in the de- velOpment ui arteSian water in this belt. The extent of the belt iS as yet unknown: as far as developed 1t eN- tends in direction northwest and southeast about thirteen miles in length by 24 miles in width, and at present in this area there are 22 wells which have combined flow of 3. 2S3- POO gallons per 24 hours. As yet this belt is in it's infancy, the additional wells recently developed have not in the least diminished the flow from the wells previously bored
 This belt extends along the Pass of the Graham mountains from point above Pima tO x miles south of Saf- ford and about s miles southwest of the Gila River, the land lying below the belt is as fertile as can be found anywhere in the valley and has an area of about 25,OOO acres in fact all the land which was to be irrigated by the Enterprise Canal can now be hand led by the artesian water.
 To demonstrate what can be accom- plished on this heretofore arid land we will state that on the land of W. F. Lee, whose large well began to flow July lst there are today 50 acres of corn from F to 16 feet high which will yield 15 bushels Uo the acre. It is almost impossible for anyone who has not followed closely the development of artersian water in this belt tO realize how much benefit is to be derived from that source A few figures, however, will show that we are to expect more from it than from the Gila river next season. Measurements taken from the river in April, 1899, above SOlomOnyille shows a flow of 237 cubic feet per minute. The artesian wells are now flowing 3Ol cubic feet per minute or 67 cubic feet more water than we can expect from the Gila when it is most needed. The formation of the country through which the boring is done, may be described as follows; Beginning

The Fight Against Taxation.

What is the secret of Great Britain's superiority over this country in the matter of tax collection? Great Britain is additionally ruled by it's upper classes the hereditary possessors of wealth, while ours is government of the people. How does it happen that in Great Britain the taxes on wealth are collected to the last cent without dispute or difficulty, while in this country there are practically no fed eral taxes OH wealth, and to the state and local assessments the resistance of the tax dodger is as stubborn and persistent as Filipino campaign?
 The income tax question has been disposed of for the present, and our government is shut out from source of revenue which contributed $6j, ,000,- GOO to the British budget last year

A MURDER
Strange Man Shot Near
A|burgh
man ARRESTED
As The Suspected Author Of
The Crime

Alburg, Dec. 20.-A cold blooded
murder was committed In this town
yesterday morning between nine and
ten O'Clock on the railroad track be-
tween Windmill Point and this vii
lage. The murdered man and the
murderer were both strangers and
nothing had been seen Of them until
the body Of the murdered man was
found on the track by the engineer on
the east bound train at about ten
O'Clock, on the Central Vermont rail
road.
The discovery as told above was
made by the engineer on the train,
who saw the body just ahead of the
train. He stopped just as the engine
reached the body but before it had
mangled it in any way. The engiu-
eer put the body on the trail and
brought it to this depot where an
alarm was Immediately given.
The dead mans head was covered
with blood and a bullet hole was found
at the base of the brain in the back of
his head Officers Of all surrounding
towns were notified and it was found
that suspicious character was at La
cole, P. G, station. Deputy Sheriff
Mullen of RouSeS Point was notified
and Immediately went to that place
and arrested him bringing him to
Rouses Point and putting him in Jail.
No statement from him has yet been
given out.
When the investigation was begun
it was found that two men, John
Julien and Frank Coolridge had stay
ed over night at Hotel Montgomery
in Rouses Point. Papers on the dead
mans body sent him from Montreal
showed that he was Julien and the
supposed murderer is Coolridge. The
two men were seen by the keeper of
the draw passing the bridge but were
not seen afterwards.
From the circumstantial evidence it
! would appear thSt the men came tt
Rouses Point Tuesday night on the
night train and that Coolridge shot
Julien while he was walking on the
track ahead of him. Evidently Cool
ridge was waiting at Lamoille to
catch the night train last night and
get back to Montreal.
