A Small Tax.

The minimum tax on the smallest
piece of property owned by a Denver
citizen was paid last week. M Kraub
appeared at the court house and an
nounced that he had come to see
about his taxes. With that he depos-
tied before the astonished clerk 2
cents. Kraub owns piece of land near
Fourteenth and Market streets, which
is just five feet square. This property
is included in an East Denver Inn
provement district and is accordingly
assessed. With great accuracy the
property owned by Kraub was defined
by the city engineer 1t was carefully
measured and found to be exactly five
feet square, not big enough to build
on, not big enough even to be buried
in. but still quite big enough to be
taxed In the advertisement of taxes,
the line which announced that Kraub
must pay 2-cent tax cost 20 cents.
This leaves the property owner the
winner by 20 cents.

A Story With a Moral.

A Missouri farmer has made a seri-
Gus mistake in exposing himself to
the glbes of a heartless world. He
saw an advertisement of ''two-dollar
fire escape" and the more he looked
at the advertisement the more he
wanted the fire escape.
81 can't let bargain like that a-one

tangly whiskers. And then he sat
down and mailed the two-dollar bill
In due time the fire escape arrived.

The Cowboy Enjoys Himself.

The cowmans idea of good time is
measured by the amount of money it
costs him. When he goes to Kansas
City with trainload of stock he gem
orally has a good time. A good time
means champagne. Champagne comes
high; II is unquestionably genteel;
therefore the cowman buys it at all
hours. A cowman's breakfast order in

Peruna stimulates the kidneys to
excrete from the blood the accumu-

commissions which are sure TO follow if
the poisons are allowed to remain. It
gives great vigor to the hearts action

REFUSED TO ENJO|N
Effort TO Prevent Pullman Car
Company from Absorb
ing Wagner De-
feated
BY the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Jan. 6.-Judge Tuley, in the
Circuit Court today declined to issue the
injunction against the Pullman Palace
Car Company. asked for by Truman A.
Taylor, who sought to have that COM
pany restrained from purchasing the
stock of the Wagner Sleeping Car Com
pany with 200. 600 shares of Pullman
stock
Mr.. Taylor's attempt to defeat the
merger took the form of petition seek
ing to enioin the Pullman Palace Car
Company from giving to stockholders of
the Wagner Company 100000 shares in
the consolidated concern, these being val
ued at $20,000O00. His action was taken
following the meeting of December f.,
1895 when the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany agreed TO purchase the Wagner
Company's entire equipment and business
to change the name of the expanded
corporation TO the Pullman Company,
and to increase the stock from $4,000, :
600 to $4,000, 900. Judge Tuley's decision
on almost every point is against Mr..
Taylor.
In regard to the antitrust arguments
made in the petition and enlarged upon
by counsel, Judge Tuley held that the
transaction by which the two compa-
nies became one was practically analog-
ous to the ordinary business transaction
of one man buying out the business OF
another

AIRBRAKEs SAVED THE TRAIN
Had Turned the Switch Armed
Guards Drive Them Off
BY the Associated Press.)

Cumberland. Jan. Ga report was re-
ceived here this afternoon of a bold at
tempt to hold up the Baltimore and Ohio
express train No. bound for Chicago
which left here at II o'clock last night.
The scene of the attempt was at Swan
ton, an isolated spot on the II miles
grade in the Alleghanes about As miles
west of here. The operator NJ. j. Sars-
field states that five men came into his
office the operator being alone and no
houses near, and offered, him candy. Be-
fore he knew it he was knocked into in
sensibility, padded club being used over
his head. The men then turned the
switch, running the fast flying train into
d derailing switch used for freight traf-
fc.
The quick application of air brakes
prevented the train from being ditched.
The train crew anticipated trouble, but
the armed express officers who protect
trains from holdups through that region
made such demonstration that the men
rushed into the mountain, while shots
were exchanged

A COMPROMISE MEASURE
One to be offered to Day Suggested by
Buchanan.
DETECTION OF THE MExlCANS FEARED.
Those Who Favor Compulsory Arbitration
Look for the Msxicans to Modify Their
Position Because Ct the Conten-
tion of The ChiIeans.
(By the Associated Press.)

Mexico City, Jan. Cit is thought now
American Conference will be determined
one way or another either tomorrow or
Wednesday. Whether or not the solution
will be the disruption of the conference
will depend on whether the ten delega-
tions who favor compulsory arbitration
will accept a compromise measure to be
offered to them tomorrow on lines sug-
gested by w. j. Buchanan, of the United
States delegation. The Mexican delega-
tion will, however, present the compro-
mise.
This afternoon some of the extreme ad-
vocates of compulsory arbitration were
somewhat afraid of the detection of the
Mexicans, and it is almost certain that
the compromise to be offered by the
Mexicans will involve some modification
of their own attitude. 1t is pointed out
that when the Mexican delegation pro-
posed plan whereby all the dele
cations were TO apply for ad-
mittance to the Hague conference,
while those favoring compulsory arbitra-
ton We're to sign an agreement among
themselves embodying that principle,
they were under the impression that this
solution was agreeable to all the delega-
tions including the Chileans. Now the
Chileans claim that they did not under
stand the matter in that light and that
the Mexicans were under an erroneous
impression. The Chileans say they were
never agreeable to- this compromise
The Mexicans feel that as the compro-
mise was suggested under an erroneous
impression on the part of Chile's attitude
it is incumbent upon them now to sug-
gest some other plan with the hope that
it will be agreeable to all. 1t is again
pointed out that one solution is that the
delegation favoring the compulsory plan
of arbitration should present it in an
open session of the conference and not
through the committee. 1t is by no
means certain if this solution already re-
fected and offered once by the ten is
offered again that it will be accepted In
any event the ten delegations favoring
compulsory arbitration are determined
to bring the matter to an issue this
week.
