TAX ON BEER.

Missouri Statute Held to Be consti.
tutional.
Milwaukee, March 8.-What prom
Uses to be matter of national import
ace is a decision of the Missouri SUI
pYeme court just handed down. In
1899 q beer inspection law was passed
by the Missouri Legislature, which.
after ii was enforced. was contested as
being unconstitutional by the brewers
and finally reached the state supreme
court, where 1t was declared uncon-
stitutional, three of the seven judges
dissenting, however. The law levies
a tax of 3S cents on all beer manufac-
tured or sold in the state. Beer
shipped to other states is inspected
free of charge.
The individual brewers Of Milwau-
kee will contest this law to the utmost
and they will try their best to have
the law declared unconstitutional. An
additional tax of 3S cents would re-
duce the profit OF the brewers appre-
Gladly. They send considerable guam
titles of beer in bottles to various
points in Missouri and besides they
have may places where their beer is
sold directly from the barrel
There was some talk Of introducing
the same kind Of bill at Madison, but
II has not been done.

heir after bis father to the British
throne. The title of duke of York is
appropriated exclusively to members
of the royal family of Great Britain.
1t has often been given to younger
sons of the reigning monarch, and the
title was borne by Henry Will,
Charles l. and James II. before they
ascended the throne. The first duke
was Edmund of Langley, fifth son OF
Edward ILL.,, who created him duke OF
York about 1885, when he was "A
years old; the last to hold the title
was James H., who died in 1901. But

Gravest Crisis of All
Arises in Eastern
Affairs.
Cars Seizure of rlan-
churia Viewed With
Alarm.

London, March "a crisis has
arisen in far eastern affairs which in
the opinion of the British government
is graver almost than the troubles
which originally turned the eyes of
the world toward the orient. In this
crisis secret negotiations are going on
between the United States and Great
Britain with view to thwarting what
both governments appear to consider
a determined attempt on the part of
Russia to plant herself permanently
in one of the richest tracts of the Chi
nese empire. The conference held
Wednesday between United States
Ambassador Choate and Lord Lans-
downe, foreign secretary, had nothing
to do with the Nicaraguan canal af-
fair. To quote from a British official,
the Nicaraguan controversy is a mi
nor matter compared with the present
situation What Choate did was to
receive from Lord Lansdowne an i'm
portant message declaring that Great
Britain was not satisfied with Russia's
declaration regarding Manchuria as
delivered to Sir Charles Stewart
Scott, British ambassador at ST.
Petersburg, by Count Lamsdorf, ask
ing the United States if it were pre-
pared to take joint action of such de-
cisive nature that Russia would have
no alternative but to recede from her
position
Almost simultaneously it Isl
understood the United States
government instructed it's various am
bassadors to take similar steps. The
answer of Secretary Hay has appar-
emily not yet been received in London,
although the fact that almost concur
rent instructions were issued from
Washington is taken here to be suffi-
cient guarantee that Russia's action
in Manchuria will not be tolerated by
the United states.
Japan is relied upon to take a line
in harmony with the United States
and Great Britain. Germany, in spite
of the Anglo-German compact, is re-
garded as rather doubtful. owing to
Emperor Williams friendship for the
car. France, of course, will side with
her ally.
The significance of the present
phase can only be appreciated by
those cognizant of the lethargic atti-
tude with which the British govern
ment has hitherto been regarding Rus
sian action in China. Within the last
few days all this has been changed.
Lord Lansdowne is using every eff
fort to bring the powers into line in
order to present to Russia such men
acing front that without any ambigu-
ity regarding temporary or other oc-
cupation she may give up all designs
upon Manchuria.

Madison, March 6-Senator Eaton
of Milwaukee, chairman OF the COM
mittee on public health and santa
ton, made his first speech of lns
session in defense of his committees
report against concurrence in the
anti-cigarettc bill, which was on the
calendar for action. Senator O'Nell
moved that the bill be referred to the
judiciary committee saying that con-
stitutional question was involved and
Seuator Eaton made a long speech IN
opposition. Senator Kruetzer, chair
man of the judiciary committee, said
he could not understand why such
strenuous opposition was made to the
preference to the bill. His conn.,
mittee was not anxious for more
work, but if referred the bill would be
considered fairly and treated honest
ly. Senator Weed opposed rerefer-
ence. The consititutionality of the
bill, he said, cuts no figure. The bill.
was a vicious one and the sooner the
senate killed it the better. Senator
Miller made a somewhat impassioned
argument against preference. Eena-
tor Jones was surprised at the sensi-
tiveness of the Miller committee.
Why this haste to kill the bill, which
had passed the assembly All that
was asked was preference. Senator
O'Neil was glad he had disclosed the
enemies of the bill, for which, he said.
there is strong sentiment all over
the state. The main argument heard
heretofore was that it was uncon-
stitutional; now we are told it is
wrong in principle. Referring to Sen
ator Miller's talk he asked whether it
was the influence of the great Ameri-
can Tobacco company or of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance union
that he was ar.aid of. This ended the
discussion. The vote on preference
was tie on division, Is to Is. Sen.
ator Munson called for the ayes and
noes, and the bill was sent to the
judiciary committee by a majority of
one. 16 to Is.

Letter from Montana.

Messrs. butcher & Breed,

W ucociS. buOShCi ~ DhOSo'
Brookings, South Dakota,
Gentlemen:-Some time ago l prom
ised you desc iption Of the country
where | am now located, but as that
would require great amount OF time
will try and give you very brief &C
count of a trip between here and
Helena. the capital Of this state.
After leaving the Falls we follow
the Little Missouri until near Wolf
creek. The country through here Is
much the same as back home, but at
Wolf creek we enter tunnel and
upon passing through we are In what
10 known as Prickly Canon. The road
bed is here cut in the solid rock. On
the one side is solid rock extending
many hundred feet heavenward and
In some places overhanging the track
like huge canopy, and on the other
Wolf creek, which is a very pretty
stream and the home OF the mountain
trout. The rocks are OF red granite
formation and when the sun strikes
them at right angles 1t produces a
very beautiful effect. Another very
peculiar thing about them Is that
they are stratified, that is are made
up in layers and look like hugh piece
OF masonry. They also lay at an
angle as IL some great internal pres
sure had forced them up and left
them. In the cracks thus formed,
large cedar and pine trees grow as II
they had sprung from the solid rock
Across the creek the slope is more
| gradual, you would find it very hard
work IL you attempted to ascend,
Here the vegetation is very abundant
and in some places very thick. The
mountain lion, timber wolf, wild cat'
etc, seek such places as habitation.
Along here / received the worst
scare / ever had In my life, and i
would suggest II some fraternal order
wished for a very neat initiation they
should locate here. Well, this par
tjcular time was sent out to flag a
train. The night was very dark and

children at recess. Sayi | went up In

the air like / was shot out of a gun!
Scared? l guess / was! I could feel
my hair pointing towards the ETHEREAL
heights above and a strange sensa-
tion of iciness played shot FOOT up
and down my spinal column. After /
had somewhat recovered I met the
track walker and asked him what that
noise was.
He said, ooh, that isn't anything;
only a mountain lion Ia the timber
over there and that's nothing after
you get used to it,"
Ireplied II suppose it isn't, but it's
darned hard getting used to it,"
He laughed and went on.
At Gleason there are a number Of
charcoal kilns. These look like over
grown bee hives. They are filled with
wood and then set afire and allowed to
burn for several weeks at very slow
rate, when they are opened and
cleaned and the process repeated.
The wood is cut up In the mountains
and rolled down and then drawn to
the kiln by team. -.
There is nothing more OF special
importance until we arrive at Silver,
near the extreme end Of the canon.
Here we enter the mining regions and
by looking up the mountain side you
see holes resembling rabbit burrows.
These are the outlets of mines and
upon still day one can hear the click
of the hammer as the miner drills to
make blast. The ore thus obtained
is transported to the entrances upon
small cars, where 1t 10 dumped into
ore cars for transportation to the
smelters at Helena and Great Falls,
where it goes through a process and
comes out as bullion.
In Helena we find a very pretty
town, and In the very heart Of the city
| is located one of the richest gold
mines In the world. The whole city
looks like huge gravel pit, showing
the location OF abandoned mines.
After leaving Helena we come to
the little town Of Easton, composed
entirely of smelters for the refining OF
ores. AS we proceed along we see the
sluice boxes and miners at work wash
| ing gold from the sand Of the noun
tain streams and finally arrive at Mon
tana City, which at one time was the

tee-Other Matters Of Interest

Al Interesting session OF the c ity
council was held Tuesday night and
much business Of Importance was got
under way. The principle object OF
the meeting, Of course, was to hear
the report Of the committee on water
works and electric lights.
The chairman, Mr.. Kremer, re.
ported that the committee had de.
cided to recommend the engagement
of the firm Of Loweth s. Wolf, Of St.
Paul, to do the engineering. This
firm being considered the most com.
petent and reliable Of any that had
made application for the job. The
firm agrees to furnish plans and speci.
fications and superintend the letting
of the contracts for specified sum
1t was hoped that Mr.. Loweth would
be able to come here and give the
matter his personal attention but a
letter from him showed that this was
impossible at the present time. Mr..
Loweth will, however, confer with
Mr.. Won and assume the responsi.
bility for perfect and satisfactory re-
suits.
On motion the report of the com.
mittee was accepted and adopted.
A telegram from Mr.. Wolf was read
saying that he could be here at any
time and the committee was in.
structed to wire him to come at once.
A communication was then read by
the clerk from the newly appointed
city attorney, Mr.. Hall, In which he
stated that owing to the large amount
OF business on hand, 1t would be i'm.
possible for him to accept the ap-
pointment at the present salary at
tached to that Office. The salary Is
800 per annum and has not been
changed for eighteen years. 1t was
shown that in all cities Of the same
size throughout the state attorneys

were being paid more than Brookinga
had ever paid for such services and
after considerable discussion 1t was
decided that In view of the large
amount Of business on hand for such
an officer the salary ought to be
raised to meet present conditions.
On motion an amendment was made
to the present ordinance increasing
the salary to $500. All voting aye on
roll call.
The committee on licenses reported
favorable on the application Of Nc
Elmurry & Fox to establish and con-
duct bowling alley. After some dis
cussion the matter was, on motion of
Alderman Mathews, referred back to
the committee for further investiga-
tion.
A petition was presented, signed by
property holders 10 the second ward,
praying for an established grade on
Brookings street north, and east on
Ninth and tenth streets, as it is the
desire of these property owners to lay
cement walks and make other i'm
provements which can not be done
until authority is granted for the es-
tablishment of such grade.
On motion the petition was granted
and the establishment OF such grade
authorized. All voting aye on roll
call.
The question of sidewalks and the
remaining Of some of the streets then
came up for discussion. The street
and alley committee was instructed
to look about the city and report at
the next meeting the condition OF the
sidewalks. There is strong proba-
bility that there will be wholesale
condemnation of walks on certain
streets throughout the city. 1t was
the sense Of the meeting that all pine
board walks must go.
The council then adjourned.
