preparing for the changes which are to
occur in the stamp law. The general
public is most deeply Interested in bank
check stamps and stamps on telephone
and telegraph messages. These are all
repealed. All together, stamps are to
he abolished on twenty-siN articles, and
1t is estimated at the internal revenue
bureau that the revenues will suffer a
reduction a%ggrcgating from $40,O00,O00
to ST.. 000, COO.
The latest circular issued by the bu-
reau for the guidance of persons inter-
ested in the redemption of stamps states
that the latter will be redeemed when
presented in quantities of 50 or more face
value. and mo claim for redemption will
be allowed unless presented within
years after the purchase of the stamps
from the government. Claims for the
redemption of stamps must be prepared
in the district where the claimant resides
and forwarded by the collector of that
district to the internal revenue bureau.
The COMMISSIONS states that under the
law and regulations all stamped instru-
mcnts and all imprinted checks, drafts
and so forth, presented for the redemp-
ton of the stamps thereon must, when
the stamps are redeemed, be retained
with the claim; therefore, no such in
strumcnts can be returned to the owners
thereof"
But there seems to be q misunderstand-
ing about the matter and it is possible
that the checks, will be returned.
Next to the bankers, the makers of
patent medicines are most widely inter-
csted in the repeal of the stamp laws.
the tax now being only Is of q cent for
every . cents worth of value. 1t is said
ut the internal revenue bureau that by
far the largest proportion of stamped
medicines have separate stamps affixed,
only about fifty firms having taken adj
vantage of the opportunity provided by
the law to have special stamps prepared
for their individual use. 1t has already
been decided by the treasury official that
il II stamp has been affixed to the pro-
prietary package, it canno be redeemed.
The work of the bureau will therefore be
confined to the redemption of such i'm
printed labels and separate stamps as
nave not been placed upon the package,
but even this will entail Il very large
amount of extra work.
The remaining items upon which the
use of stamps has been abolished will not
give the internal revenue bureau much
trouble, as in nearly every case the
stamps have been attached separately
and not imprinted. This is true of cc:-
t~iticatcs of deposit, leases. manifcsts,
mortgages. promissory notes, money az
ders, warehouse receipts, etc.

UTOPIA FOR

Egypt, and Il farmers bank with $780,
0O0,O00 capital, also in Chicago, are tie
two agencies which George III. Phillips
looks forward TO as the means of put

try and making. 40 cents the bottom price
Phillips was given a banquet Mt the
West Hotel in Minneapolis by the Na-
tional Grain Growers Association. and
in the course of his remarks took his
farmer admirers into his confidence INT
predicted good times for them.
He spoke on the basis Of his theory
that the 3,000,000 farmers of the land
IRE not ''too-,nany headed to act as a
body and that il they do act together
they can fix their own prices on com
modities as easily as any trust masnates
can do it. Let the government tax the
farmer Il cent Il hushel OH his corn CROP
he said, land with the money build Gle
vators in which to store Il hundred mill
ion OF corn and pay 40 cents basis Chi
cage market for it and the world will
pay the same for it. There is not SO
much of it that we need worry about an
extra large crop or two With the gov
ready to pay 40 cents for it the
farmer can borrow so cents from his
country bank ii he needs money and
carry the surplus for seven years, il need
be, as did Joseph 5000 years or SO ago.
".Another dream of this sort is IL L

desired, dispose Of some OF his shares

NEW STAMP TAX LAW.
Important Changes and Notifications Taking
Effect on the First of July.

The stamp tax, to which business has
been subjected for more than two years,
will he greatly modified by the new reve-
nue. law. After July l no stamps will
be required on telegraph or Telephone
messages. bank checks. bonds, certificates
of deposit, drafts, express receipts. life
insurance policies, leases. mortgages.
power OF attorney, promissory notes,
money orders, protests. warehouse re-
ccipts. These are the articles the taN
upon which has been directly borne by
the pnblic.
Many notifications have been made in
the revenue bill which affect the manu-
factlrers. The tax on beer, cigars, to-
bacco AMI cigarettes has been reduced.
The tax on theaters. billiard tables, pub
lie exhibitions, has been retained, but re-
duced.
1T is estimated that the government re-
celpts will be reduced frcm 100000 CO
to S5O,0O0,O 600 annually by the revision of
the ven act.
Bank checks with 2-cent stamps inn
printed thereon are being received i'll
large numbers for redemption at the in
ternal revenue bureau. On and after
July l III stamps will be necessary and
the banks, which are loaded with stamp
ed checks, are endeavoring to get rid of
the surplus stock. 1t looks as if there
would De a dcluge of stamped checks
pouring in upon the revenue bureau, just
as there was in 1888, when rooms and
corridors We're filled with the accumula-
tions, which came every day by express
and mail.
1t is yet undecided whether the owner
Of stamped checks will receive them
again after he has turned them in for
redemption. In 1883 the stamped checks
were punched for cancellation and then
given back to their original owners, So
that they could be used.
AT the present time there seems to be
a misunderstanding between the auditor
of the treasury and the commissioner of
the internal revenue as to the course to
be pursued, the latter believing that the
auditor has decided that when Il stamped
check has been submitted as IL voucher
for claim it cannot be returned. This
does not coincide with the informal state
ment made by the auditor. and it will
probably require an official order from
the Secretary of the Treasury to finally
settle the matter.
The demand for the return of the
stamped checks is very emphatic, many
business associations having taken the
matter up in earnest, and insisting that
il the stamped checks are completely
destroyed commercial houses will suifes
great loss.

RESORT HOTEL BURNED.


Mineral Springs House at West Ia den
- Destroyed.
The Mineral Springs Hotel at West
Baden, Ind, enc OF the most famous
health resorts in the West. was destroy.
ed by fire at an early hour Friday morn
ing, cntailing Il loss estimated from
100000 to 100000. There were 25l
guests in the hotel at the time aud all
lost nearly all their effects. But there
was no loss of life and nonc were fatally
injused.
The fire. which was caused, it is he.
lieved, by an ovcrheated range. was dis.
covered early and the guests were quick
~ aroused. The flames. however. spread
like a flash and almost in IL moment the
wooden structure WAS a mass of flames.
The guests and employees were driven in
a panic from the place. some in their
night gowns and others in such pieces of
apparel as they could grab in their hasty
flight. a number jumped from windows
and suffered painful injuries and ii few
were severely burned. In the mad rush
to escape many We're tranpled undel
foot and badly bruised.
There We're many narrow escapes n
thrilling rcscues. Numbers OF the guests
We're lowered from windows on ropes i'm
provised from sheets. The halls We're
filled with dense black smoke, making
escape by the stnirways difficult, and i'll
the crush here many women We're bruis-
ed and trampled. Several guests jump
ed from the veranda to the ground, but
fortunately escaped serious hurt. So
quickly did the flames spread to all parts
of the building that few of the guests
made any attempt to a clothing or
valuables.
The hotel contained many invalids, pa
tients who were suffering from rheuma-
tism and unable to move with any speed.
The care of this class of guests was Civ
en- the attention OF employees. Willing
hands We're found, under the direction of
the manager, and the crippled and suf-
fering patients were assisted-carricd
when this was necessary-from their
rooms to the lawn.
Gathered about the burning hotel, the
flames of which illumined the scene, We're
the white-robed people, the guests and
employees of the big health resort. The
guests were taken to the French Lick.
a %neighboring hotel, where they were
cared for.
The Mineral Springs Hotel at West
Baden was erected twelve yearsSgo. The
owners recently refused $1.OO0,GOO for
the hotel, springs and grounds. The no
tel was open throughout the year and
had accommodations for some 800 guests.
Connected With the hotel We're an opera
house, swimming pool. gymnasium and
large bowling alley and an Enclosed bi-
cycle track. besides conservatories and
bath house buildings.
