ity I'm the Cudahy Kidnapping Case
-CaIInhan's Examination.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 21.-Patrick Hus-
sey, of this city, was arrested to-day on
a warrant sworn out by John NJ. Baum, a
local detective, on the charge of being
concerned in the kidnapping of young Cud-
ahy. John F. Layne, alias Tory, was
arrested last night on the same charge
Neither arrest. however. became public
till this afternoon.
Baum is an amateur detective. He went
to County Attorney Kane. and, according
TO that gentleman's statement, told such
n plausible story of ..clewS' that he had
traced, that Kane felt it necessary to issue
the warrants. HuSsey is a w~ell-knowE
local character and, IL is said, has not beer
cut OF this city for fifteen years. Mr..
Layne Is a w~ell-known and highly-respected
contractor OF Minneapolis, a member of the
firm OF Costlow & Layne- Both men have
teen released and the police officials con-
slider the affair a huge joke.

Sixty-One Condemned mt kieR and
Three mt st. Petersburg SEN
fenced to Serve i'm the Army.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 21.-The process
of railroading the refractory students into
the army continues. BY a verdict of The
special court, posted in the st. Petersbu;s
University, three students have been SEN
fenced to three years, six to two years
and nineteen to one years service in the
army. 1t is rumored that sixty-one stu

such action. 1t is generally understood that
Judge Taft will be the first civil Governor
will succeed General Macarthur in COM
mand of the military forces to be retained
there to assist in the maintenance of order
and the enforcement of the laws. IT is not
likely, however, that there will be any i'm
mediate change in the military command
or that there will be any material reduc-
ton in the military strength for months to
come. The Philippine commission has
recommended the adoption of a tariff sys-
tenn, and its report probably will be made
public in a few weeks in order that all
interests affected may be fully informed
and heard on the subject before the pro-
posed tariff is adopted and put into effect.

IMPORTANT TAX RULING.
Seymour Judge Holds that Special
, Tax Board Sessions Are leg


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SEYMOUR, Ind. Feb. 21.-Judge Buskirk
made an Interpretation of law to-day rela-
tive to the State Board of Tax Commits
sioners, in which he holds that the special
sessions of the State Tax Board are with
out authority of law. and therefore bust
ness done at such sessions is void. This
decision grew out OF the case of the First
National Bank of Seymour against Alex.
Gregor, the county treasurer, to restrain
him from collecting taxes on $4,000 of their
assessment which was in dispute. Two
years ago the County Board of Review
raised the assessment of this bank SIC, 1000.
An appeal was taken to the State Tax
Board and the original assessment was re-
stored. but in making the order and certi-
flying the same to the county auditor it
was not made specific, so the county auditor
left the assessment as fixed by the county
board. Suit was filed i'm the Circuit Court.
and while this was pending the State Tax
Board met in special session and corrected
or made their record more specific. Now
Judge Buskirk sustains the demurrer to
the complaint. holding that special ses-
sions of the State Board of q Commits
sioners are without authority of law.

Studebaker's Goods Are the Best.

The demand for better carriages. wa
gons, buggies and harness in this city
has increased rapidly in the past year.
People are beginning to realize that life
has something else for them tnan to
simply work every day with no recrea-
ton
To meet this demand l have secured
the agency of the very best goods on the
market - the Studebaker company's
goods, than which there are none better
manufactured in this country. both for
beauty and utility.
These goods are known and used
wherever in this country there is de-
mand for the best ! want to handle
nothing but the best. In my catalogue
the best is always the cheapest.
There are buggies and buggles, just a ;
there are diamonds and diamonds. A
two caret stone will coet you more than
a one caret gem. just 30 with bugges.
A piece of work in which the paint will
not wearoff in few months is far better
and cheaper at little more money, or at
the same price, than one which has the
tinsel without the wearing capacity,
Wherever the word wagon" is spelled
in the English language, there will be
, found the Studebaker supplies. recog
nized as the best on earth. Rubber tire
goods are their specially.
This new stock will be in my ware
rooms in very few days. The goods
are now on the road. Are you looking
for a wagon of any kind? II you are it
is money in your pocket to wait and ex-
anime these goods. 1t is hardly neces-
eary for me to say very much about the
S tudebaker product. 1t talks for itself
and it talks in no uncertain tones, when
placed along side that OF any other large
manufacturer. | have secured this
agency with the purpose in my mind
that shall keep on hand at all times the
best on the market, sold as cheap or
cheaper than you can lay down wagon
in this city bought any other place in
Colorado.
