TARIFF TALK IN GERMANY
WAS A LIVELY DISCUSSION
Wheat and Meat Cost Much More Ac-
cording TO New scheduIes-War
Prcdicted-NioIent storms Are
Running Vineyards and Beet Crops

Berlin, July 20.-A lively discussion |
of the Tariff question broke out last
week on the publication of the new
agricultural schedule by the Sturt
CART Boebachtter. which claims to
have authentic information on this
matter on recent tariff conference.
The most striking features of the
schedule are the high duties and the
minimum and maximum charges on
cereals. The figures are the lowest
admissible in commercial treaties,
while the maximum charges are G5
marks per ton on wheat and 60 marks
per ton on rye and oats. The mini
mum charge on wheat is SO marks
per ton and on rye and on oats 50
marks. The present duties on rye
and wheat are 80 marks per ton and
on oats % marks.
Animals and meats are without
minimums. The duties on swine
have been raised from so marks per
ton to 100 marks per ton. Meat, LARD
and calves are scheduled for consid-
cradle increase. Sausages are raised
from 10 to $50 marks per ton, but
ter and cheese from 10 and 20 marks
to 80 marks per ton and eggs from
20 to 60 marks. The conservative
and agrarian papers ignore or doubt
the story printed by the Stuttgart
Boebachtter, which other papers
have, however, investigated on their
own account and substantially con
firm the Boebachtter schedule.
The Frankfurter Zeitung AYERS
that the commercial treaties will be
impossible under such duties and
says: Tariff wars are in Germany
future, if the government realizes its
intention"
The Tageblatt considers the SEIZED
ule to be monstrous. and prints sta
tistics showing that the new duties
on the basis of the imports for 1900
mean an increased expenditure OF

Hec Bruner. a United States marshal
Of Indian territory IN the early days,
enjoys the rare distinction Of having
a cemetery named after him. And the
strange part Of it is that no one is
buried there except his own victims.
There are twenty-eight mounds In the
cemetery. Under each lies the bones
Of some bad man who brushed up
against Bruner and got the worst Of It..
When Bruner was marshal the In
dian territory was about as wild as
a country ever gets. u was filled
with horse thieves. cattle thieves, train
robbers and desperadoes OF all kinds.
A law abiding peaceable citizen did
not stand much show. Murders we're
20 common that they we're not con-
sidered news. Thefts attracted no at
tention whatever except from the ones
who suffered loss. The country was
run a neal along anarchistic lines as
the most ardent anarchist Of New York
or Madrid could hope. Little atten-
ton vas given to the consent Of the
governed" The desperate with the
quickest movement of his shooting
hand and the most nerve ruled the
roost That was the condition until
Hec Bruner was appointed United
States marshal. When he took charge
Of the ONCE he decided to revolutionize
things and make Indian territory "a
good place to live In" His friends
laughed at him, although they knew
he had nerve. To go up against the
notorious gangs Of the country, they
said, vas foOlishness. II might result
in cleaning out a gan or two, but in
the end would result in the marshal
being wiped on the map. What was
the s to endanger ones own life in
order to make trouble for the desper-
ADDE'S, they would ask. To this Bruner
replied that he would drive the open
ing wedge toward civilizing the terri
tory If 1t cost him his life the first day.
He stuck to his resolution, and he did
not lose his life, either. But he had
several narrow escapes. He was pune
tured by bullets until his frame could
be used for a sieve" and he had his
blood spilled IN many a fight, but
not enough Of 1t at any one time to
make him bite the dust. While the
desperadoes we're making It interest
ing for Bruner he was keeping them
busy. He was a dead shot, and when
ever he pulled the trigger on his man
1t meant a separation OF soul and
body. There was no discount on that
Bruner began to hunt down the des-
p~eradoes. The first one he killed was
buried in a grove south Of Tahlequah.

their supplies from local merchants.
They say that six years after eating
the rice the victims die. The object
