INTERNAL REVENUE STAMPS.
Checks, Drafts and kilograms Free
After July [.

A number of the proprietary and
Documentary stamps issued under the
provisions OF the war revenue act are to
be discontinued July /. The number to
be discontinued is, however, compar a.
lively small, but as the use of stamps on
checks, drafts and express receipts is to
be discontinued, the saving effected will
be very large.
OF the proprietary stamps, such as
are used on medicines and which range
in value from half a cent up to 5 cents,
all will be discontinued, except the 1 and
2cent stamps. As the use of stamps on
medicines is to be discontinued, these
stamps will be used on wines, etc.
OF the documentary stamps, nearly
all will be retained, those to be discon
tinued being the 3, 4, 40 and 80 cent
and the SO ones. These are to be done
away with for the convenience of the In
ternal Revenue officials, as they are not
necessary for the transaction OF business.
In this connection it may be stated
that Internal Revenue Collector Dunno
is receiving many communications from
persons who wish to have unused dOcu-
mentary and proprietary stamps re-
deemed, and who wish to know il they
can forward such stamps to his office.
For the benefit of such inquiries the fol-
lowing extracts from the law in regard
to the redemption of documentary and
proprietary stamps are repudiated:
documentary and proprietary stamps
can be redeemed only when presented in
quantities of 50 or more, face value, and
no claim for the redemption of or allow
ance for such stamps can be allowed un-
less presented within two years after the
purchase of said stamps from the gov
eminent.
"All claims for the redemption of
stamps imprinted on checks, drafts and
other instruments must be entered of
record and forwarded to Washington by
the collector in which the order for the
imprinting of the stamps was purchased.
"The owners of imprinted instruments,
checks, drafts, ETC., who desire to have
the stamps thereon redeemed must, in
addition to filing claims as aforesaid,
forward all such imprinted instruments
securely packed to Washington. Pack

Warning To Farmers.

Prof W. J. SpiIlman writes the Pull
man Herald from McMinnville, Oregon,
the following: 81 am informed that
agents are selling a so called cream
separator in Whitman county, which it
is claimed does very high class work, the
principle of which is the cooling of milk
rapidly by means of cold water. [ wish
to state that the best method OF cooling
milk by means of cold water is to place
the milk in tin cans 6 or 7 inches in d.
ameter and Is to "a inches high and
setting these cans in cold water The
Cooley cans are the most convenient for
the purpose as they have a faucet for
drawing off skim milk. | hope no farmer
in Whitman county will pay $40 or $40
for tin can when he can get one just
as good for 81 so or 50 of any timer"

his adversary on the field Of honor, as they
understood was the custom in semi-civil-

made specially to avoid any brutal disfigure-

meters In caliber, which is nearly the same
as our %. and were loaded with special
cartridges that contained about half the

the biggest kind of a fuke, don't see how
such a gun could make more than flesh
wound.
II was assured by the maltre d'armes
at the gallery that the type Of pistol
was the one used at all the famous duels
of recent date. and I was then able to un-
derstand why those who were wounded were
able to make such quick recoveries. Prior
