Terre Haute, Ind, Feb. 27.-George
Ward, 27 years old, colored, formerly
employed in the car works here, was
arrested during the day and, according
to the police. has confessed having
murdered Ida Finklestein, the school
teacher who was found dying in
grove outside the city.
Ward had recently been discharged
from an insane asylum as cured. Ap
parently he is demented now. In his
confession he said Miss Finklestein
taunted him about his color and then
struck him in the face. In a fit OF an
ger he shot her and then cut her
throat. A blood stained knife found
in his pocket corroborated the state
ment. Ward, when first captured
strenuously denied his guilt, but
closely questioned, finally confessed

Jailer Lawrence O'Donnell appeared
with a shotgun and fired over the
crowd in a vain effort to stampede
them.
Three deputy sheriffs were wounded
by shots from the crowd.
Word of Wards confession was
passed through the streets and the
crowd, reinforced by hundreds of re
cruits, redoubled it's attack on the
Jail.
The sheriff was absent when the
mob descended upon the Jail. His
deputies put up a vigorous resistance

passed down the tunnel and then,
placing a heavy overcoat over his

the smoke, fire and deadly fumes of

BY this time the outside men of

ishment for Hazing.
Washington. Feb. 27.-The early
part of the days session of the senate
was devoted largely to an effort on
the part of leading senators on both
sides to secure a modification of the
Philippine amendment to the army ap-
preparation bill which would render
it possible to secure vote upon it..
After several conferences an agree
ment was reached which was found
to be satisfactory to large majority
of the senators. The amendment to
the original provision. submitted by
Mr.. Hoar, was used as the basis of
discussion, but various additions
were made to it so that when he again
offered it in the senate it was pre-
sented as q proviso and read as fol.
lows:
provided, that no sale or lease or
other disposition of the public lands
or the timber thereon or the mining
rights therein, shall be made; and.
provided further, that no franchise
shall be granted which Is not approved

islands and indispensable for the in
terest Of the people thereof and which
cannot. without great public mischief.
be postponed until the establishment
of permanent civil government, and all
such franchises shall terminate one
year after the establishment of such
permanent civil government"
Senators Morgan, Rawlins, Tillman
and Bacon, who had been among the
most determined opponents Of the
original provision, were all consulted
concerning the amendment and all
of them, excepting Mr.. Morgan. ex.
pressed a willingness to let the amend
ment 60 through after reasonable de-
bate.
Senator Morgan did not commit him
self. The Democratic acQuiescence
does not go to the extent of agreeing
to support the entire Philippine pro
vision, but only to the point of allow
ing it to reach the voting stage. The
Republicans, without exception, &C
cept the modification of the amend
ment.
Mr.. Allen Of Nebraska, in discuss
ing the Philippine amendment, read
the letter written by Rear Admiral
Sampson regarding the appointment
of warrant officers to the rank of en-
sign. He severely criticized Samp
son, denouncing him as full of con
ceit, and stating that he showed by
the letter that he was unfit for the
promotion asked. This occurred
while Mr.. Morgan held the floor. Mr.
Chandler attempted to reply to Sen
ator Allen, but Mr.. Morgan refused
to yield.

was both wise and premeditated. The
power to tax involves the power to de-
stroy. 1t needs for its proper and
normal exercise every restraint that
experience has shown to be salutary.
The evil Is not that the state can
tax too little, but that the counties can
tax too much, and the remedy lies in
placing boundary to the latter as
well as to the former. This can be
done by statute. 1 can not too strong
ly advocate the enactment of stat
ute placing a maximum limit upon
county levies, so adjusted as to compel
fair assessments.
II think it can be fairly asserted
that IL all corporate interests operat-
ing in two or more counties of the
state were under the assessing author
ity of the State Board of Equalization.
the aggregate valua ton would be from
10 to 20 per cent. greater than it is and
no wrong inflicted upon any of them.
"The state board should also be en-
-dowed with authority to equalize. As
n board of assessment its functions
have been active: as a board of equal
iZation it has always been moribund.
AS its name implies, it was intended
to adjust and equalize assessments
among the several counties of the
state by decreasing and increasing
specific valuations, that uniformity
might be secured and unjust burdens
avoided. 1t has at intervals attempt
ed to accomplish this commendable OBJ
ject, but without success, for the Su-
preme Court has whenever called upon
deprived its action of all force by de-
nying its authority. Shorn of its au-
thority the board is helpless as II
tribunal of equalization. and the most
glaring violations of uniformity must
pass without rectification. 1t may be
that relief for this evil can only come
by constitutional amendment. If that
be true, the amendment should be pro-
posed and passed with expedition"
sThe message advocates n highter in
surance tax, n percentage tax on the
express companies, n horizontal tax
on interpretations and specific tax on
the oil monopoly which controls that
business in the state. He also thinks
the law taxing mines should be re-
formed and less discretion allowed to
assessors. Considerable stress is placed
upon the desirability of levying income
and Inheritance taxes. A law for the
taxation of franchises is recommended.
The governor recommends the con-
solidation of the various boards for
penal and charitable institutions. He
would have committee to examine
the warrant issue of 1889 and provide
for the cancellation of the valid war
rants as far as possible. He also
recommends numerous and important
changes in the election law.

erts, the director of the mint, has
made public his preliminary estimate
of the production of gold and silver in
the United States during the calendar
year 1900. Theaggregate of gold is given
as 1887 ,213 fine ounces, valued at $780,
49,, 2,2S1, and of silver 59,61O,543 fine
ounces, which at the approximate aver
age price of 81 cents for the year
makes the value S36,362, ,431.
During the calendar year 1899, the
gold production was $71,O53, 400, and
the silver production "a, 4,764. 500 fine
ounces. The Nome gold and silver pro-
duction for 1900 is given as So, 100000,
and that of the Klondike, which in
cludes both the American and Cana
dian fields, So. .2S7 500. The product
of the Canadian mines is not included
in the figures given, but as the gold
and silver comes to the American
mint, the value is given separately.

Chicago physicians have recently had
the opportunity Of examining several
persons who were treated for consump-
tion by the nitrogen compression
method first promulgated by DR.. j. b.
Murphy at the congress of physicians
in Denver several years ago. The
method consists In injecting nitrogen
gas into the pleural cavity, the theory
being that the pressure of the gas COM
presses the lung, enabling 1t to take
rest and permitting the unhindered
cure OF any disease affecting 1t. DR..
Augustus Lemke, who presented the
cases shown in Chicago, made no
claim that he had effected cure, but
he said: "The symptoms Of tubercu-
losis, which were pronounced In these
cases when they applied for treatment,
have all disappeared. The fever and
coughing have ceased. and the patients
have slept and eaten well. They have
all gained in weight and show no evil

Souris, who has been called for 30

said to have surpassed all expectations
in his metrical rendering of the play.
His work should be especially valuable

The City Club of New York has is
sued two small pamphlets which are
useful to New Workers and suggestive
to residents OF other cities. One is a
brief index to the city charter, the
other brief summary, in chronology
cal order, of the various events pre-
scribed by the charter to occur during
the year. 1t thus comprises list of
the official acts of the whole city gov
ernment, and from 1t one can learn the

The ordinary citizen often realizes his
ignorance of the local government, and
his consequent inability either to fulfill
his civic duties properly or to derive all
the benefit he might from the operation
OF the government. These little pam
