BARBARIsM OF ALLIES IN CHINA.

Some time ago a Japanese neWspa-
per came out with an article reciting
the horrid details of the looting, the
indiscriminate slaughter of unarmed
Chinese, the burning of villages, the
murder of defenseIess women and
children and the ravishing of girls of
tender age by the brutal European
soldiery during the advance on and
capture of the city Pekin by the allied
armies.
The vigorous protest of Gen. Chat
fee, who commanded the American
forces, to Count Van WaIderse, the
German commander, about Iooting, is
still fresh in the memory of the read
ing public. That the Iooting actually
occurred was later substantiated by
the press report of the French return
Of portion of the spoil.
Now comes Auberon Herbert, an
Englishman, in a communication to
the London Times, in which he corrob-
crates in every particular the japanese
report of the brutal outrages commit
ted by the European soldiery. He
says that villages and towns were
wantonly destroyed, that unoffending
Chinese were butchered in cold blood;
that women, children and babies were
killed by hundreds.
He states, that after the occupation
of Pekin plundering was systematic
ally carried on; that a European soci-
ETY. was organized to loot, and bazaar
was established for the sale Of the
stolen goods; that the best people of
the foreign legations gathered there to
purchase, and even missionaries. A
military officer, he says, who witnessed
the scene declared: "This affair is the
biggest case of loot since the days of
Pizarro."
In fOreible paragraph descriptive
of scenes during the advance he say s;
Towns and villages were wiped of
the earth; the Peiho river f1oated the
bodies of slaughtered pesants down tc
the sea in such numbers as to threaten
pest1ence; cOrpses were piled up In
heaps; and if there was a house left
standing in the path of the armies it.
only tenants were dead bodies. The
country was reduced to wilderness:
and the remnant of humanity sneak
ing about in the empty spaces were
starved or forced to brigandage."
How do these things read in tn,
ears of our boosted and so-calleC
christian civilization? No wonder thu
Chinese call all foreigners 'foreigI
devils" One thing this nation ma.
rejoice in. The American force is no
accused of these things, and that tn,
policy of our government has all alon,
been against the spoliation of China.

TAX REFORMS IN NEW YORK.


New York state legislature has set
the pace in enactments intended to
reach and compel corporations and
holders Of vested securities to bear
their fair share Of taxation. As a re-
suit Of this class Of legislation, the
revenues Of the state treasury have
been increased s3,5OO,OOO derived from
this class Of property.
Commenting on this taxation of
intangible property" which has here
tofore escaped taxation, the Albany
Journal predicts that within a year, or
at most two years, the legislature viii
be able to pass an act that "will abso-
lutely clear real estate Of all the bur
dens that it now bears for state purpos-
es, and for the first time in the history
of the state the tax gatherer viii not
levy one dollar on a single home or
farm IN the state"
New York state does not seem to fear
that these methods will drive out cap
itaL The hue and cry about deter
ring investments, inquistionary meth
DDS, and Interference with peoples
private affairs does not 60 in the state
of New York, and has been needed
quite too long in this and other states
of the union New York has also an
inheritance tax which brings a very
large amount Of money into the state
treasury.

Swinging the nest where my darling lies.

Total dividends IN two years. ------ Sis, OOOOOO
1t is not yet quite two years since the
directors Of this combine came togeth-
er and voted to multiply by ten its al
legged capital Investment of ten millions
and make it one hundred millions.
And within these two years it has al
ready paid s113,OOO,OOO as profits on
the s1OO,OOO,OOO. of capital investment
thus created by the process of dlution.
If the original capitalization of s1O,-
100000 had not been thus deIuged with
water, the dividends actually declared
upon it In the past two years would
have been 333 per cent in 1899, $50 per
cent for 1900, and for 19O1-with nearly
seven months of it yet to come-32O
per cent.
Yet there are people who hug the
delusion that Standard Oils monopoly
has immensely cheapened the brice of
oil. How much cheaper would it be if
the Standard Oil dividends were seven
instead of $50 per cent per annum on
It's actual capital invested?-New York

Standard Oil's $50 Per Cent.

The Standard Oil directors have
just declared another dividend of u
per cent. In March last they de-
cIared a dividend of % per cent.
Thus far in this current year, 1901,
they have thus divided profits of
100000 on their S1OO,OOO,OOO of al
legged invested capital.
The record of this Ieviathan among
trusts discloses the following amazing
facts: Up to June, 1899, the capital of
the Standard Oil concern was only S1O,-
100000. On that amount it had been
paying for eight years dividends rang
ing from Il per cent up to 80 per cent
per annum. In June, 1899, its capitali-
zation was increased-by a stroke of
the pen-to s1OO,OOO,OOO Of common

A Big Tree.

Mr.. Alex. Tramblay, Of Cox, Chip
pewa county, writes to the Independ-
ent that there was cut at one of his
logging camps during the winter a
Eastwood tree that measured fifteen
feet eight inches in circumference. 1t
was five feet four inches in diameter
one way, but five feet and a half was
the average diameter. It cut twenty
three lengths of thirth-eight inch
heading bolts; the total length was
about 100 feet. It is believed that TIE
giant of the forest was about 500 years
old according to the rings on the tree,
When piled up there were three and
one-quarter cords of heading bolts. Il
it had to be sawed there would have
been five cords or more Chippewa

Wisconsin Relics Wanted.

We call attention to the adveftis Sc
ment in this issue of Mr.. III. P. Hamil-
ton, Of Two Rivers, Wis, who desires
to purchase all kinds of Indian Relics
Of copper and stone, such as axes,
knives, arrows, spears, pipes, etc.
All pieces Of copper are especially de
sirable. Almost every farmer finds
such articles on his land during the
spring and fall work, and sometimes
valuable pieces are discovered.
Persons who have anything Of this
kind, should write to Mr.. Hamilton
and st - what they have, at the same
time sending tracing Of each relic,
made by laying articles on sheet OF
paper and running pencil around
the edge. All such letters will be
promptly answered and value put
on the relics.
Copper relics should be kept just as
they are when found, as it destroys
their value to clean them or to scrape
off the green coating.
Mr.. Hamilton has large collection
of Wisconsin relics and is continually
adding to it.

NEW BRIDGE NOW COMPLETE
One of the Finest Steel
Structures in the
Northwest.

The new steel bridge, which crosses
Eagle River at this place is finished,
The piers are made of stone, with a
solid pile foundation, and the center
pier is made from flag stone from the
Green Bay quarries, and their average
weight is $500 pounds, making the
pier as solid as possible. The bridge
proper consists Of two steel spans,
each 100 long, and we now can boast
of one Of the finest bridges in the
Northwest, and is a great credit, not
only to our town, but to the johnson
Bridge Company Of Minneapolis, who
built it. Great credit is due Burton
Russell, who after the sudden illness
of the foreman Charles Banderob, at
the commencement Of the bridge,
took the entire charge Of the con-
strnction, and although this was the
first bridge of it's size, which Mr.. Rus
sci had the entire charge Of, he has
shown by his efficient work and over
seeing to be well qualified to handle
much larger jobs.
The men in general, which the
bridge company sent here to work on
the structure were all gentlemen, and
although were entire strangers when.
they arrived, will leave many friends
here, as they leave for their different
homes.
The bridge was accepted Friday by
the Town Board and is now open to
the public.
