CHlHA's REVENUE
From All Sources at Present II Amounts TO
$65, 900.

Peking, March 29.-The special COM
mittee of ministers appointed to con-
slider the question of China's ability to
meet the indemnity claims is already
well forward with the work of investi-
eating the resources of the empire.
Sir Robert Hart, Director-General OF
the Imperial Maritime Customs, has
been examined, as have also the mana
gers of representative Chinese banks,
many pawnbrokers and other Chinese
financiers. The consular renorts for
number of years back have been close
ly read.
1t now appears that from all sources
the annual revenue aggregates about
$65 100000 gold, derived from the land
tax, the grain tax, the likin, the GUS
toms, the opium tax and miscellaneous
imports. The largest two items are the
land tax, which brings in $l4,OOO,O0O,
and the foreign customs, which Yell
$12,0OO,0OO.
In the opinion of all foreigners who
have participated in the examination
the land tax could be doubled and even
tripled without much hardship, and the
salt tax could be raised from $6,0O0,-
600 to $20,OOO,0 900.
1t Is believed that the total increase
could be made to amount to $150,OOO,-
900. IT, then, the imperial expenses
could be reduced to $45,000,000, there
would be left available for the liquida-
ton of the interest on loans and the
indemnity fund the sum of $1O5,OOO,OO0.
Making all allowances, it would be
possible to pay the indemnity within
twenty years.
The time which the Russians have
given the Chinese to sign the Manohur-
ian agreement expires on Tuesday, ana
should the agreement not be signed
then, Russia will break off the negotia-
tions. The agreement practically an :
nexes Manchuria.
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang
consulted this morning but did not de-
eide either to sign the convention or
appeal to the powers.
On.behalf of China Ii Hung Chang

ca for her position in the matter

LOOKS FAVORABLE
Middlaport About to Land the K. & N.
Shops.

Middleport is abount to get the K.
G. M. car shops located within short
distance of the corporation line. Mat
tiers have simmered down to the fact
that our sister village can have the
prize if forty acres of the old Nye farm
at Hobson be donated to the railroad.
This is an enterprise in which all
Meigs county is interested and one
which all public spirited citizens should
assist Middleport to get.
Supt. Whittlesy reported to the citi-
zens Monday night that the location is
suitable, and all that is required is the
donation of the land. DR.. Hartinger
F. e. Bolton and j. S. Boggess have
been appointed to look after the matter
and their efforts are now in the direc-
tion of ascertaining what will be the
cost and raising the money.
Mr.. Ramsey, of Cincinnati, agent for
the Union Central Life Insurance Co.,
will be on hand in few days to see
what arrangements can be made in re
gard to selling the land desired for the
location of the shops.
This enterprise employs about 10
men, and quite a number of people will
locate wherever the shops go.
The Ohio Central lines have no track
from Hobson to PIT. Pleasant, and it is
said that it will not be a great while
until the X. G. NJ. has it's own bridge
across the Ohio from Middleport to

Artificial Legs.

The most lifellke and serviceable ar
tl6cial legs In the world are manufac-
turcd In America. Enormous QuGnti-
flies Of these limbs are shipped to Eu-
rope every year.
The first great boom in the artificial
leg business was brought about by the
civil war. Since that time railroad and
trolley car accidents have kept up an
ever increasing demand. Another fac
tor has been the general use Of antisep-
tics. The mortality among those who
have their legs amputated is far less
than formerly, and large proportion
OF the survivors become patrons OF the
wooden leg factories.
The old fashioned peg leg Is practical
ly thing OF the past. Tho modern mr.
tincial leg shows n great advance over
the old forms. Every improvement has
been with the idea Of greater SIMPLE
ity.
The main object of the manufactur-
ers is to improve the flt OF the legs.
The best models now cost $10O. 1t
costs from 50 to $25 year to keep one
of these In order.
Few women wear artificial legs. On
the other hand, 1t is becoming more
common to ilt limbs to children. Legs
are mnde for children sometimes be-
fore they can walk They are fitted as
soon as the child learns TO stand and
make 1t possible for 1t to develop SYM
metrically.

II was in the dark OF the evening,
and the streets were thronged with
men and women on their way home at
the end Of the days work. At Thirty
fourth street. where Broadway and
Sixth avenue cross with a network Of
tracks, the usual clangor Of gongs, the
shouts OF newsboys and the roar OF the
elevated trains filed the air, while
myriad electric lights sparklcd like 90

Suddenly out OF the gloom came a

vacant little chair at home, the unused
toys, the unwOrn frocks folded away

A rollicklng band OF cowboys owned
the town Monday. They chased up
and down the street, peltiug each
other and washing each others faces
indiscriminately with chunks Of water
melon. When the stock OF melons
gave out, somebody was discovered TO
have a box OF shoe polish 10 his posses
sion. IL was not Is minutes until
every one OF the gang had his face
smeared to the queens taste. For a
hilarious. roaring time no assembly Of
Gods creatures can beat a band Of
cowboys on a lark.-Socorro Chieftain.
