NEW LAWS IN MINNESOTA.
Income Tax Amendment and Three
Plans for Assigning Corporations.

Income Tax Amendment and Three
Plans for Assigning Corporations.
After having been at work five weeks
the first special session Of the Minnesota
Legislature in twe1ty-one years and the
third in the history of the State has adj
journed. The Legislature met Feb. A
to consider the tax code and constitu-
tional amendments prepared by the tax
commission created at the session year
ago. The work of that commission. how
ever, was rejected, the bills submitted
being defeated as too radical in the
changes proposed. Within twenty-fou-
hours Of adjournment other tax meas
ures were passed and provision was made
for the submission of other constitution
al amendments to a vote of the people.
These amendments allow the Legisla-
ture to impose a general income tax in
lieu of all taxes on personal property.
A tax not to exceed 10 per cent per an
mum on the income from all credits in
lieu of any other tax on credits is pro-
rided for and also an income tax of not
more than per cent on all salaries in
excess of $1,000 a year. Three methods
for the taxation of public service corpo-
rations are allowed by the amendments
"a gross earnings tax in lieu of all other
taxation, a gross earnings tax in addi-
ton to the tax on real property, and
franchise tax In addition to taxes on real
and personal property.

Unsettled weather has
NpW f0Tk been the most unsatisfac-
l------to tory feature of the business
situation. A sudden thaw following an
exceptionally heavy snowfall produced
freshets and floods. Manufacturing ana
transporting interests suffered severely,
and consumers were urgent for shipment
of delayed goods. while great quantities
of merchandise became stalled in transit.
Preparations for an enormous spring
trade continue undiminished. There is
still some uBeasiness regarding the labor
situation at the coal mines, and at Fall
River there is disagreement as to the
length of a cut of cloth. although increas-
ed wages are assured" according TO Ii.
G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade.
Continuing. the report says:
mot only is there no Improvement to
be recorded in the iron and steel outlook,
but floods in the Piftsburg region added
to the pressure by completely closing
many plants and damaging much costly
machinery. Supplies of coke failed to
increase, because the railways were bad
~ disorganized, and the net result was
a week of light output when require
ments were notably heavy. Recent de-
struction by the elements makes an I'M
usual demand for structural material,
and on spot business buyers gladly pay
premiums of So ton above list prices.
Coal shipments have been curtailed to
such an extent that dealers supplies alc
low and quotations very strong: Moth
ing new has developed in the footwear in
dustry. Eastern shops are still working
on old contracts, but buyers are delaying
the placing of fall business in expectation
of securing more satisfactory terms. Cot
ton goods are well sustained. the stren-
ger raw material giving all the advan-
tage TO sellers, but there is much I'M
certainly as to the labor situation. Less
activity is reported in the market for
woolens.
IAN staples steadied, and some rose
sharply. the net changes for the week
amounting to a considerable advance. 1t
was natural fol grain to hold firm when
wheat receipts al the West were 2,S09,-
344 bushels, compared with 3.747 ,952 last
year, while arrivals of corn We're but
2,001 ,914 bushels, against 5,020,43S a
year ago. Exports of wheat, flour in
cluded. were 4,174.S94 bushels, against
3,1S5.032 in the previous week and 81
715,930 year ago. Even corn went out
more freely, Atlantic exports exceeding
10 per cent of the movement a year ago,
or 317 1904 bushels. against 1851. 43S.
Failures for the week numbered 116
in the United States, against POS last
year. and seventeen in Canada, against

Matte Bennett has confessed to Sheriff
Lindley at Beaumont. Texas, that she
was at the head of gang Of negro wom-
en- and white men who Lad for months
been Turing men into he's house, drugglng
them, beating their and robbing them. If
they died the victims were dragged to the
river and thrown in. If they were only
stunned they were taken out Of the house
to remote part Of some street and left
for pedestrians or policemen to find. A
fear is felt that more than twelve men,
among those who have come TO Beaumont
and were afterward reported as miss
ing" have been murdered, and that their
bodies are now at the bottom OF the river
In the last three months at least fifty in
quiries for missing men have been recelg-
ed. and, while no one supposes that the
gang has murdered as many as fifty,
there Is a fear that some of the disap-
pearances are due to their work. Five
bodies have been found in the river since
the first of the year The Bennett wom-
an was arrested on suspicion of being
connected with the murder of Benjamin
Pearson, one of the FIVE known victims.
She denies being guilty Of this crime, but
admits that one of the gang of which she
Is q member discussed the commission Of
the deed. On the strength of her confess

Wheat traders are work
| UIledG1. ing around to the belief
that whether Kansas and
the Southwest gets rain within the next
few days or not, there will be no bumper
crop there this year. They have had two
good crops successfully, and they think
it is time for Kansas to miss one. AS
yet it is too early to tell definitely what
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas will do IN
the way of crop. There has been in
sufficient moisture in Oklahoma and Tex
as, and in parts of Kansas all season.
Close observers say it is the history OF
the Southwestern country that unless
they get an abundance of moisture dur
ing the late fall and winter, they have
never harvested their full acreage. The
acreage this year is reeord-breaker .
per cent increase in Kansas. 1t might
be lost, and still with favorable condi-
tions make an average crop.
The Department of Agriculture IN a
report estimates that about % per cent
of last years wheat crop is still in farm
ers' hands, as compared with 24.5 per
cent on hand March I. 1901, and 20 per
cent on hand March l. 1900. The corn
in farmers hands is estimated at about
20 per eent of last years crop, against
1863 per cent on March /, 1901, and 37.2
per cent March /. 1900. OF oats there is
reported about 80 per cent of last year. $
crop still in farmers hands, as compa ed
with 36.2 per cent on March l. 1901, and
$3.50 per cent on March l, 1900
Aside from crop damage there were
other considerations which, for the time
being, are exerting good influence. 1t
is the falling off in receipts, as compared
with last year. in the Northwest and at
primary points. This, with an improve
ment in the milling demand, small coun-
try offerings in the Northwest. the steady
reduction in interior elevator stocks,
which are only two-thirds of last years,
taken in connection with the uncertainty
of the growing crop, gave the bClls the
best of it.
Provisions suffered from liquidation
early, pork declining over soc, but the
losses on lard and ribs were small. At
the close pork and lard recorded loss
of 15c and ribs only 21ac.
Cattle were nominally unchanged the
closing day of the week. Hogs declined
&c to Zoe, and sheep and lambs wee slow
and steady. Cattle receipts decreased
10000 compared with the previous week,
and increased 1900 compared with year
ago Hogs decreased 29,500 compared
with the previous week, and increased
33, 600 compared with the corresponding
week of 1901. Sheep for the week de-
creased 1000 compared with the prcSi-
Gus week, and increased 4,290 compared
with year ago.

Mystery Surrounds the Death of Young
Woman at Lowell, Mich.

Mystery Surrounds the Death OF II ung
Woman at Lowell, Mich.
The death of Mrs. William Klumpp Of
Lowell, Mich, has developed sensational
features which recall the famous Moli-
neaux case in New York. Mrs. klumpp
was the wife Of a laborer, attractive,
with many friends, happy in her family
relations and not known to have an enc
my in the world. Recently she received
a sample package by mail Of two head
ache powders. The powders purported
TO have been sent out by the Flag Salt
Remedy Company of Sayana. \. Y, and
as she was subject to headaches, she laid
them aside for future use. A few days
ago she felt i'll, and while her husband
was out In the yard she took one Of the
powders and lay down. When her hus-
band came in she was in commissions on
the floor, and about 10 O'clock that night
she died. The package containing the
powders bore a Lowell postnark, and
the address appeared to be in a feminine
hand. The coroner took charge of the
remaining powder in the package; also a
similar package received by Mrs. Miller,
living across the street and sent them
with the dead woman's stomach a
chemist for analysis. The renal. g
powder was found TO weigh eight grams
and contained four grains OF strychnine.
The powders received by Mrs. Miller
were Of similar composition, and in the
dead woman's stomach were found three
or four grains Of stryehnine.

MYSTERY IN LODG ER's DEATH.
Shot Failed TO Arouse Others Sleeping
Within a Few Feet.

John Henderson of Minneapolis, Mimi,
was found dead on the third floor Of the
Helping Hand Institute in Kansas City,
with a bullet hole in his head. The the
DRY is that he committed suicide. The
previous evening Henderson reported to
the police that two negro women had
robbed him of 5000 The police detained
him till midnight and then sent him to
the institute. There he was directed to
a cot on the upper door, and this was
the last seen of him alive. A dozen lodg-
ers slept near where the body was found.
They reported having heard a noise, prob
ably a shot, during the night, but No in
vestigation was made. Two negroes who
slept at the Helping Hand were arrested
on suspicion of knowing something about
the mans death. The women who rob
bed him have also been taken in charge.
