HEALTHY BANK TAX RETURN.
The National Bank of Commerce of
of St. Louis Its Re-
turn of Last Year.

ST. Louis. Dec. 9.-The biggest re-
turn ever filed with the assessor in
the history of st. Louis has just been
submitted by William Ell. Thompson,
president of the National Bank of
Commerce. 1t is in the sum of SS,237,-
462.19, and on this amount the bank
will pax taxes into the city treasury
for the fiscal year 10000 at the rate
of $1.95 for each 500. Last year the
National Bank of Commerce paid
taxes on an assessment of 81, 039, 051,
and it's bill was the largest made out
by the city officials. The new assess
ment is more than double that of last
year, which will make the institutions
tax bill by far the largest of any cor
poration or individual in the city.
On its return for the coming fiscal
year, at the regular rate of $1.95 per
each 500, of valuation, the bank will
pay the sum of $160, 630.51. But S1O7,-
Gs7.O1 of this amount, however, can be
used for municipal purposes, the rest
going for state and school taxes.

THE HAND OF UNCLE SAMUEL.
1t is Recognized in the Modification
of Chinese Note Now Acceptable
to All the Powers.

Berlin, Dec. s.-With reference to
the news communicated from London
that an agreement has been reached
at Pekin, a high official of the German
foreign Office, who is empowered to
speak in the name of Count Won Bue-
low, imperial chancellor, said this
evening:
'"The report is correct, but there
are still some minor points unsettled.
1t was clear from the first hat the
note formulated by the foreign en-
VOWS in Pekip would not be accepted,
inasmuch as the United States dis
avowed Mr.. Conger instantly, and
Russia raised some formal objections.
Now that the ENJOYS are agreed, and
the note is acceptable to the United
States there should be no eXultation,
as if the other powers had bowed to
the will of one nation. All were free
Il take whatever they chose,
and they chose in theinterest of peace
and harmony.
They altered the note to meet the
views of the United States. 1t is to be
hoped that the fact that Germany has
gone so far in complying with the
wishes of the United States will meet
With recognition in America"

WAR FAX REDUCTION.
Report OF the Committee on Ways and
Means Submitted to the
House.

Washington, Dec. s.-Chairman
Payne of the ways and means commit
tee late yesterday submitted the
report of that committee signed by
all the republican members in favor
of the bill reducing the war revenue
taxes about forty million dollars. The
report says in part:
while the war Tor which these adj
d~itionaI taxes were levied is ended
the train of extraordinary expendi-
lures has not terminated with the
close of the actual hostilities. We
find it still necessary to maintain an
army of 100000 men until law and or
der is fully restored in all our pos
sessions. We find it also necessary to
provide troops to man the fortifica-
tions which we have been building the
past few years, and also to provide a
sufficient force in the navy to imam
the vessels that have been recently
added. The increasing navy, too,
brings new necessities, all of which
call for a greater drain upon our re-
sources.
According to the report of the Sec
rotary of the treasury, the receipts
from all sources for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1900, were 5000, 595, 431,
while the total expenditures were
$590,O6s, 371, showing a surplus of &c.,
527, 900. He also estimates the receipts
for the fiscal year ending June 80.
1901, upon the basis of existing laws,
at $6S7, 773,253, and the expenditures
at $6O7, 773,253, which would leave an
estimated surplus of $50, OOO, 900. For
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1902,
the secretary of the treasury esti-
mates the revenue at $716,63 ,041, and
the expenditures at $780, 4,S04, leav-
ing an estimated surplus of only $780,
25S,237.
at will be seen that for 1905 there
is an estimated increase in the rev.
enue of $29, OOO, 900 over the previous
year, and an increase of expenditures
of nearly eighty-three millions of dol
lars. The committee are inclined to
take a more conservative view of the
amount of the expenditure necessary
for the year ending June 80, 1902; at
the same time they r anxious to
avoid any deficiency in the future.
They deem it safe to make a reduction
of about forty millions of dollars
while the secretary of the treasury, in
his report, suggests a reduction OF
only $50, 000, 900 in the revenue.
I'm making the reductions in the
bill reported, the committee have
sought to remove the more annoying
taxes in the wal revenue act by the
entire abolition of those which were
most vexatious, and by a reduction OF
those which seemed to nave proved a
great burden upon the several
branches of trade to which they are
applied"

A LIFE SAVED.
A Druggists Timely and Straight
Forward Advice Saves the Life
of q Prominent Citizen.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 10, 1900 Especially.
Among the Catholic Foresters il this
city, none is better known or more uni
versally esteemed than Mr.. S. p. Rush,
Conductor (President) of Holy Name
Court, Number &c.
His many friends, inside the Order
and outside. of its ranks, were, there
fore, much startled to learn hat his
life was in danger, he having Bright's
Disease, hat most terrible and fatal
disease.
Mr.. Rush, however, made a grand
struggle for his life, taking prescrip-
tions, and pills, and powders, until his
stomach refused food. AT last, his
local druggist. guided by the numer-
Gus inquiries being made at his store
for Dodd's Kidney Pills, advised Mr..
Rush to buy and try some. This he
did, and to his delight he was restored
to health and strength.
Mr.. Rush says hal after m
ing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, he
felt much better, but it took two
months to effect a cure.
ST took nothing else but Dodd's
Kidney Pills during that time, so /
know that I owe life and health to
them
What this wonderful remedy has
done for Mr.. Rush, it will certainly do
for anyone. 1t is the only remedy that
has lever failed to cure Bright's Dis.
ease.
Mr.. Rush is just now receiving the
congratulations of kis friends, but
always finds time to say a good word
for the Medicine that saved his life.

TO PROHIBIT POLYGAMY.
One of the Probable RESULTS of the
Afront offered TO Congress
by Utah MormOns.

Washington, Dec. S.-Representative
Taylor, of Ohio, who was prominently
identified in the movement to exclude
Brigham Roberts, of Utah, from a seat
in congress, yesterday introduced a
measure intended to bring about fed
eral prohibition of polygamy. 1t pro-
poses a constitutional amendment for
uniform laws on marriage and di-
vorce. Mr.. Taylor says, however, that
his aim goes considerably beyond a
mere uniformity of such laws
The measure was introduced after a
conference of those interested in the
subject, and, although Mr.. Taylor is
not on the judiciary committee, which
will have charge of the measure, it
was deemed desirable to have him
present the matter and direct the ac-
tive movement which will begin in it's
behalf.

MORE ACTIVITY IN LUZoN.
The American Troops are Keeping
the Insurgent Bands Rum
ming for Cover.

Manila, Dec. S.-More activity il
shown in the operations in northern
and southern Luzon. The reports
from the former district come in
more quickly and telegraphic inter
ruptions are fewer.
Gen. Funston, with Troop ga" of
the Fourth cavalry and a score Of
scouts, last Thursday encountered 100
insurgents posted on the opposite
bank of the Nehico river. The Amer
leans charged across the stream, and
the enemy ~retreated, firing from
cover. They left four dead on the
field. A native, who vas captured, re-
ported that Fagin, a deserter from
the Twenty-fourtn infantry, who has
been active with the Filipinos, with a
party of two c~avalrymen, had been
wounded.
Lieut.. Morrow with so men from
the Forty-seventh regiment, attacked
and occupied B%ulacan. While return
ing these troops encountered Gel.
Victoris, occupying an intrenched po-
sition, with 80 rifles and 800 bolomen.
Morrow's force charged and drove
the enemy from their position, it is
believed with heavy loss. Preceding
the fight the expedition had captured

An engagement is reported to have
occurred near San Rogue, in which,
according to natives, so rebels were
killed.
Several minor encounters and cap

MISS hORR|SONS STORY.
The Defendant in the Castle Murder
Case at E~ldorado, Kas.,
Tells Her Story.
DENIES MUCH OF CASTLES TESTIMONY,
She Told of Castle Taking Her Rid
ing and Proposing that They
Drive Past CIara's House, to Make
Her JeaIous-Giyes Her Version
of the Tragedy.

Eldorado, Kas., Dec. S.-Jessie Nor
rison yesterday took the stand in her
own defense, and in a quiet, de-
her relations with Olin Castle before
his marriage, and as calmly pictured
the scene at the Castle house during
the bloody rough and tumble fight
with Mrs. Castle. She proved an un-
e~xpectedly strong witness. Miss Nor
rison approached the witness chair
pale and trembling, and began her
testimony with an effort. AS she pro-
ceeded she gained confidence and re-
lated her story without hesitation.
She denied most of the damaging tes-
timony adduced by the prosecution.
She fatty denied many of the state
ments made on the stand by Olin Cas-
tie, declared that he had tried to
make Mrs. Castle jealous, and that
Mrs. Castle had Haunted her husbands
acts in her face. On the day of the
tragedy, she declared, Mrs. Castle had
called her into the house as she was
passing, had accused Miss Morrison of
trying to separate her and Castle,
anu Wn6n she u0ul6Q IL Cd1l0O u0T d
liar. Mrs. Castle had, the witness de-
elared emphatically, begun the fight,
slashing her with the razor again and
again and compelling the defendant
to attack her antagonist in self-de-
Tense.
During her thrilling recital of the
two women rolling over one another
on the door in their combat, the spec
tators riyeted their eyes upon Miss
Morrison.
In all her testimony Miss Morrison
was direct and positive; never once
did she finch, and only one time dur
ing the cross-eXamination did she
shed a tear. 1t had been feared, even
by the defense, hat she would break
down during the cross-examination.
The state did not succeed in making
her contradict any material point in
her testimony.
Six witnesses were introduced to
show that the defendant was not out
after 10:30 o'clock on the night of
July IL, when Castle said she met
him in front of his home. The de-
tense then rested.
The state attempted to introduce
evidence in rebuttal Of certain parJs
of Miss Morrison's testimony, but it
was ruled out and court took a recess
until to-day, when arguments will
begin.

WANT GAGE TO REMAIN.
Baltimore Business Men lake q
Call Upon the Secretary Of
the Treasury.

Washington, Dec. s.-President
Homer of the Baltimore clearing
house and 80 other prominent BUSH
aess men, representing the clearing
house, the savings banks and the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers a~ssocia-
ton of Baltimore, called, in a body, at
the treasury department, yesterday,
and urged Secretary Gage to accept
the invitation OF the president to re-
main at the head of the treasury de-
partment for another four years. Mr..
Homer, speaking for the delegation,
said in part:
Mr.. Secretary: We do not come
here to shower upon you words of
fulsome praise, but we come to tell
you, briefly and sincerely, Is plain
men of affairs, how greatly h abili-
ty, the firmness, the skill and the ex-
perience which have characterized
your labors have awakened our adj
miration and esteem for you, and our
confidence in you. We have not a
word of criticism to utter. On the
contrary, the happy solution of each
and every problem as it arose in your
department has stamped your work
with the impress of ability, and it
but required h publicity of a con-
gressiona1 investigation to demon
strate to all of your fellow citizens
the purity of your motives, the i'm
Partially of your actions and your
rigid performance, without fear or
favor, of the statutes governing your
office.
Therefore, Mr.. Secretary, it is u
ardent desire that the inclination of
yourself, disregarding all personal
sacrifice and Inconvenience, and the in
tentions of your chief, the president,
may so harmonic and so concur, that
for four years more your fellow-citi-
zens will be vouchsafed the benefits
and the advantages of your able and
skillful administration of this most
important branch of u great and
growing nation. We + firmly of the
conviction mat under your manage
ment the marvellous commercial and
industrial development, born anew of
cur re-established confidence in our
financial integrity, will continue it's
growth and its expansion, and will
mark an epoch of prosperity such as
has not heretofore illumined any page
of our remarkable history"
Secretary Gage, in his reply, limited
at his continued connection with the
department, and called attention to
the intimate relation between the
government and the business inter-
ests of the country. In conclusion he
said:
altogether, the people of the Unit
ed States are working out a great
problem, and it can only be worked
out successfully by public interests,
public intelligence and the watchful
guardianship of those who are in a
position to understand the questions
before us. Their solution will be
greatly enhanced by the interest of
business men with patriotic senti-
ments who cherish the single desire to
promote the welfare and honor of our
country"

vests stolen Pigs.

"Another story that Vest told related to
his candidacy for the legislature in 1861
against A. S. Walker. The canvass was ex-
ceedingly exciting because of the near APP
proach of war, and all the questions incl
dent to it were discussed with much ami
nation. Charges and counter-charges were
made. Both sides knew that about six
votes either way would determine the CON
test, and on the day before election Walker
raised the point on Vest that he had stolen
some pigs. The only way that Vest could
meet the charge was to acknowledge smil-
ingly that he had the pigs in his pen and
in his possession. If he had gone further
and said that he had bought them-which
they hoped he would do-they had wit
nesses to show that he had not bought
them, but Vest was too shrewd to be caught
in the trap, and turned the accusation off
with a laugh and the remark:
Zone cant account for the way his boys
get pigs st. Louis Republic.

The father of a subaltern in the Eng

and about S $3.50 more spent ON his uni
