CAN'T TAX EXCHANGE SEAT
APPELLATE DIVISION HOLDS THAT 1T
is PERSONAL PROPERTY, BUT NOT
COVERED BY THE TAX LAW.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yes
terday handed down decision holding that a seat
in the New-York Stock Exchange may not be taxed.
The action brought by William Lennon for
a writ of certiorari TO have tax assessment re-
viewed. Mr.. Lennon is a member OF the Stock Ex-
change. but a resident of Englewood. N. j. The
Tax Commissioners assessed his seat In the Ex-
change at $4,000 The lower court dismissed the
writ of certiorari.
Justice Ramsey. who wrote the opinion, says in
part:
It appears that the relator has personal prop
erty in this State unless his seat in the Exchange
is such. His sole business is buying and selling
stocks commission on the floor of the Exchange.
He invests no money In the business, as he buys

privilege is of very considerable value.
1t is clear that this privilege is personal property

that ii is taxable property. The power of the as
SCISSORS to put property upon the assessment roll is
derived from the Tax law, and their jurisdiction,
especially non-residents. is greater than
the Tax law gives them. Personal property, as

the State his right do business the Stock EX-
change would not be subject 70 assessment.
The assertion made that the assessment was

it was $1,000 not $4,000 that was invested The
law provides that no non-residents doing business
in the State shall be taxed the capital invested

The order dismissing the writ is reversed and the
assessment is vacated. Justice O'Brien dssented

CHICAGO. AND THE AMERICAN SUGAR
REFINING COMPANY

Asked TO the authenticity OF dispatches from
Chicago, which stated that the Arbuckes would
in the future control the coffee business while the
Havemeyer interests would handle the sugar busi-
ness, each keeping out Of the others speciality
Herman Sielcken manager OF the coffee interests of
the American Sugar Refining Company, yesterday
said:
There Is no truth whatever in the story that any
trade has taken place between the Arbuckles and
the American Sugar Refining Company by which
will give up the sugar and the other the coffee
business Both will remain in the sugar and coffee
business. All stories of compacts absolutely
untrue have this on the authority OF the prn-
cipals OF the American Sugar Refining Company.
James n Jarvie. of Arbuckle Brothers, was quoted
yesterday follows:
There is truth in the story of agreement
between firm and the American Sugar Refining
Company We have not been approached by any
one the subject of bringing about such agree
ment, and we are not seeking any agreement. We
intend TO remain In the sugar and coffee business,

several months before it happened and
wisely insured his life for $500, which
was promptly paid the widow on proof
of his death. Mrs. Simmons now has a
suit pending against the contractors
for neglect and carelessness.
1t appears that the scow which took
Mr.. Simmons to his certain death was
an old conveyance and out of repair.
Mrs. Simmons suit is for $32 900, and
the concensus of opinion is that she
will get verdict for large sum. The
deceased was a member of Company F,
Twenty fifth infantry, stationed at Mis-
soula from 1889 to 1894, and it is said
by all of his comrades that he made an
exemplary soldier While Mr.. Sim
mons did not profess religion, he al

as Our Father is very very merciful let
us live in the hope that the soul of
Alonzo Simmons is at peace with it's
maker.

commonly called, was genial, jovial
honest fellow, who numbered his
friends by the score, a hard working
man, devoted husband, a good pro-

he made many friends and his horrible
death by drowning was a shock to his

Martin j. MalOney has done his work
well, and now has a commission in his
inside pocket for the place held by
John B. CatrOn as warden of the state
penitentiary. There is no doubt but
that Mr.. Catron has served his political
chief, Gov. Rogers, entirely too faith
fully in the past, which accounts for
him being politically beheaded, as it is
ever thus. Gov. Rogers is responsible
to Senator Turner for his renomina-
ton and responsible for the Ankeny-
HumeS push for his reelection, and
despite the fact that he Gov. Rogers)
was disposed to retain Mr. CatrOn he
was given to understand by those to
whom he was politically obligated that
the reelection of Senator Turner was
to be considered and his (Roger's) per-
sonal feelings were not to be consid-
cred, hence Catron had to go and Ma
loney was named to succeed him.

Chief of Police Meredith, in the high
handed manner in which he proceeded
to punish the editor of The Seattle Re
publican for alleged criminal libel,
committed an outrage against civil
rights and liberty that demands his
prompt removal from office. The al
legged Offense was committed Friday
but no notice of it was taken until
nearly midnight Saturday, when the
editor was arrested and hustled off to
jail, being arbitrarily refused bail
The manner in which the thing was
done would indicate that the chief
feared that there was no case against
the editor, and was trying to get a lit
tie private revenge until the courts
lnterfered. The whole transaction
smacks of the days of the Bastile and

II found your medi-
cine a blessing to me
and my family"

There are women who feel something
like a grudge against the children, who,
one after another rob their mother of her
beauty and strength. Men do not usually
realize how much the mother gives to
each child to her own loss. Women
accept it as part of the obligation of
Nature and pay the debt grudgingly.
Yet in Natures plan every child is a
new Joy and fresh happiness. 1t isn't
the children that steal the mothers
strength. 1t is the unnatural drains and
pains which weaken her.
Every woman who has used DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has found in it the
one thing woman has waited for. It
stops the drains, heals inflammation and
liberation, makes the baby's advent a
pleasure and his life a blessing. No
opiates or narcotics are contained in

REFUSED THOUSANDS.
The Other Side of the Belief That
Magazines Take All the Adver-
Using They Can Get

The people who read newspapers
and magazines have, as a rule,
belief that publishers have no con-
science about loading up their peri
odicals with advertisements at the
cost of reading matter. Yet oc-
casionally some proof comes to the
surface that publishers have some
scruples in this respect. The La
dies Home Journal, for example,
will accept just so many columns of
advertisements, and no more. This
proportion, for instance, is 20 col
umns of advertisements as against
122 columns OF reading matter in
each issue of 48 pages. When the
advertising space is full all BUSH
ness is declined. The skeptical
may ask, but is there any BUSH
ness left to decline?" There is, de-
cidedly. For nearly every issue
during1900 there were from four to
twenty.six more columns of de-
sirable advertisements received
than could be accepted, and as each
column in the Journal costs $1,000
the publishers turned away thous-
ands of dollars, which, simply be-
cause of principle, they would not
accept. So the interests of the pub
lie are sometimes regarded where
they are not popularity supposed &c

WHEAT CROP.
Outlook Not the Very Best at
Present.
Large Acreage Seeded, However
And County Will Likely Be
Usual Shape.

The outlook for a wheat crop IN
Christian county at this time is not
the best, but as there is plenty OF
time Tor Improvement the crop may
yet come up to the average A
promising field is the exception
rather than the rule. There is
some complaint of the Hess'a1 fly
and the winter has been unseasona-
Bile for it. In some fields you can
see very little evidence of wheat at
all and some of our best farmers
predict that the crop will be shorter
than for several years. In some
sections, however, the growth is
good and the grain has been Sc
curely rooted. The acreage seeded
last fall was considerably larger
than that of the year before and
with fair season from now on to
harvest, old Christian, it is safe to
say, will be found holding her usual
place in the column of wheat grow
