and for these committees to come to
him. When they reported he made
known his plan. They were request
ed to write all the other shops in the
Country and secure their schedules of
prices, he promising on his own part
to secure the schedules so that notes
could be compared. He stated to the
men that it was the wish of the COM
pany to make the shops standard In
all things, and that to this end he
was anxious to readjust the wages
of the men so that there would be
no further cause for complaint
Having received the information for
which they sought the members Of
the grievance committees again re-
ported to Mr.. Williams and the mat
ter was taken under consideration.
with the result that general adj
vance has been declared, affecting all
departments and ranging from 10
cents to 40 cents per day, from to
!25 per cent OF the wages formerly
paid. The men at the various ma
chimes and in the various parts of
the works were advanced until their
pay now corresponds with the pay OF
men in other shops. The men are
delighted and there is no probability
|of further disagreement.

FIRE AT CHARLTON.
Small Boys Responsible For the Loss
OF a Bridae.

Charlton. July 22.-(Special. with
everything so dry and ready to burn
the sound of the fire bell on Sunday
afternoon about o'clock threw the
citizens of Charlton into something
like a panic. The volunteer fire de-
partment responded very quickly to
the alarm, however, and an investiga-
tion disclosed the fire to be the large
wagon bridge on Sixth street between
Linden and Armory avenues in the
east part of town. The ditch which
the bridge spans was filled with rub
bish and dry brush and as some small
boys had been playing there a short
time previous it is supposed that they
set the rubbish on fire and 1t caught
the bridge. The fire was very stub
born one and burned for an hour in
spite of the efforts of the fire boys.
The bridge is a total wreck though
they saved two out buildings that were
threatened with destruction.

REVENUE DECISIONS.
Two of Importance Handed Down by
Commissioners Yerkes.


Two important revenue decisions
have been handed down by J. w.
Yerkes, commissioner of internal rev.
enue at Washington, and will be read
with interest by Ottumwans. The
first deals with what bonds required
in legal proceedings are taxable under
paragraph T. schedule A, of the war
revenue act as amended by act OF
March 2, 1901
The following ruling is in relation to
certain drafts taxable because drawn
otherwise than at sight or on demand"
The ruling follows:
Treasury Department,
Office Commissioner Internal Revenue.
Washington, July 10, 1901.
Sir: ! have to acknowledge the re-
ceipt Of your letter Of the 3rd instant,
in which you say that your attention
has been called to the fact that
schedule A of the war revenue act, as
amended by the act of March 2, 1901,
does not re-enact the exemption con-
tame in the old act in reference to
bonds, such as may be required in
legal proceedings.
You wish to be informed what con-
struction this Office places upon para
graph 7 of schedule A, as amended,
in this respect.
In reply, you are informed that this
office has ruled that bonds of admin
istrators and executors, which were
formerly held to be exempt as bonds
used in legal proceedings, require to
be stamped on and after July 1, 1901,
| in consequence of the omission of the
exemption heretofore accorded to such
bonds.
/ The bonds of guardians, receivers,
or trustees appointed by the court
i would also be liable to tax on and after
July /, 1901, for the same reason.
| Other bonds used in legal proceed
! ings, such as prosecution bonds, in
i junction bonds, bonds to stay proceed
ings, bonds upon appeal, bonds upon
! writ of error bonds for cost, and bonds
I given in claim and delivery actions
! for property are not included in the
terms of paragraph Z of schedule A,
as amended, and would not be taxable.
Treasury Department,
Office Commissioner Internal Revenue,
Washington, July 13, 1901.
i Sir: have to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter of the 9th instant,
lin which you ask to be informed if an
ordinary sight draft on which the
words 'at sight" have been erased and
the words ION arrival of goods" sub
stituted is subject to tax under the
amended revenue law; also, if an ordi'
nary sight draft across the end OF
which is printed these words" If re-
quested, hold until arrival of goods
Allow inspection" is subject to tax
under said amended law,
/ In reply, you are advised that a
draft drawn with these words sat
sight" erased and the words ION ar.
rival OF goods" substituted therefor is
a draft drawn otherwise than at sight
or on demand, and is liable to tax;
also sight draft on which is printed
"If requested, hold until arrival o.
goods. Allow inspection" is draft
drawn otherwise than at sight or on
demand, and is liable to tax. In the
last case on option is given to the
drawee, by the exercise of which the
draft may be payable at some time
after sight. j. w. IERhES,

KANSAS WHEAT ALL RIGHT.
Hot Winds and Drought Have Had no
Effect.

Effect.
[From Mondays Daily
John Boiling, former Ottumwa citi-
zen, arrived in the city Sunday from
an extended trip through Kansas, Col
orado and Northern Nebraska. In con-
versation with a Courier reporter con-
corning the crop condition of Kansas
said:
"The people of the states east of the
Missouri river are led by press dis
patches appearing in many papers to
believe that the wheat crop in Kansas
this year will be failure. Allow me
to state for the benefit of thousands
of readers of the Courier that the
wheat crop of Kansas never looked
better at this season of theyear any
! time in the past, and that the hot
winds and terrific rays from Old Soils
quarter have had no effect upon the
| crop.
kansas has been warm, warmer
than for several years, the heat and
drouth having damaged small garden
truck and made a great decrease IN the
/ corn and oats acreage for the season,
but they have not affected the mead
ows to such an extent as IN this and
other middle states | have seen and
heard from through travellers.
I! How about Colorado" asked the
reporter.
| The prospects in that state are de-
sidedly poor this year for farmers and
truck raisers. Rain has been badly
needed the past two months in the
southern and eastern sections. the
drouth which opened in June having
/ to date been broken only by slight 10
cal thunderstorms. Colorado has
proven a disappointment to pleasure
seekers this summer, the torria atmos'
phere having penetrated what are usu'
ally cool resorts. Relief for the tour,
list is to be found only among strictly
mountain resorts"
/ Mr.. Boiling will spend three weeks
in the city.

TROUBLE is SETTLED.
g., C. r. G. N. Matters at Cedar Rapids
Amicably Settled.

The walk out of the B., c. r. &. N.
shop men, that disturbed the trade
situation in Cedar Rapids for some
weeks, has borne fruit and the peo-
pie will be glad to know that the men
have won even more than they asked.
The most of the old men are back at
work and there are but few of the
importations in that city, a fact that
will cause renewed congratulations
After the men had gone back to their
positions, Vice President and General
Manager Robert Williams made over
lures for the purpose of securing a
settlement on basis that would be
lasting. He told the men to appoint
from each department a grievance
committee to consist of three members

Drought Makes Less Feed Supplies
and More Marketing.
2O,624HOGSAT MORRELL'SLASTWEEK
An Increase of About 5000 Over Last
Week--This Years Figures Since
March I Less Than Those of Last
Year--East Ottumwa News.

The marketing of hogs has, increas-
ed, under the influence of weather con-
ditions in their effect on feed supplies
and stock water. Total western pack
ing 100000, compared with 100000 the
preceding week, and 100000 two weeks
ago. For corresponding time last
year the number wos 435,000, and two
years ago 100000. From March l the
total is 8,S3b,000. against S,6t5,000 a
year ago--an increase of 100000. The
average quality has somewhat declin-
ed, but most of the offerings are fair
ly good, Prices at the close average
is cents per 100 pounds lower than a
week ago, and 10 cents higher than a
year ago, the average now being $575
per 100 pounds,
EARLY in the week the provision
market was strong, and prices advanc-
ed under the influence of higher for
eign markets, the upward trend Of
grain prices, firm hog markets, and
good demand generally for current
movement. Toward the close the a,n-
timent changed, and declines were rap
i'd. Receipts of hogs on Monday and
Tuesday were in excess of eXpecta-
tions, and the heavy receipts at Mis-
souri, river points, under the influence
of dry weather, with easier grain
markets, caused liberal selling of pro-
visions. Outside orders were also
mainly on the selling side. Cash de-
mand became only moderate, and Or
yders from domestic markets gave evil
dence of caution in buying. Buyers
] are little afraid Of the effects of lab
or troubles. The speculative articles
close lower than week ago for all fill
ture deliveries at Chicago. The ex-
pert clearances of product were fair,
showing an increase over the proceed
ing week, and only slight decline as

last year.

Summers Too Hot.

"If Iowa intends to keep up the kind
of summers she has been giving us
this year" Mr.. Barrett said, some
thing will have to be done about the
teachers institutes. l do not believe
anything is actually being gained by
the present system. The teachers go
to tho institute tired out and come
from ii feeling a great deal worse. IN
the fall they go into school without be-
ing entirely rested from last years
work and the tendency is for things
to drag accordingly. The Institutes
should be held in cooler weather or
there should at least be shorter SEES,
sions and things should be made easier
