A REMINDER.

On Dec. u the United States depart
ment of internal revenue made a new rul-
ing on the taXability of undivided profits

I call your especial attention to the
enclosed circular which holds that I'M

empting only such amounts as have, by
the action of the bank directors, been
set aside to meet aseertained liabilities
that is, debts or expenses already incur
red. If you omitted from your re-
turns, for period commencing July /,
1901, any surplus or undivided profits used
in your banking business during the pre-
ceding year, you are now requested to
furnish this office with duplicate re-
turns reporting the average surplus and
undivided profits during the period from

Throughout.

Surgeon John w. Diedenhofer has just
returned teASt. Baul after an absence of
over three gearsfn China and the Philip
pines He served in the regular hospital
corps Tor two years and a half in the Phil
ippines, and was then transferred to
China. in Chief Sergeant w. B. Banister's
special relief corps, where six months of
the most thrilling and adventurous period
of his life was. spent.
Surgeon Diedenhofer was under fire a
number of times, having taken part in
fifteen battles and skirmishes the most
notable being the battle of Tien Tsin, July
b. and the relief of Pel1in, Aug. d, 1900
On entering Pekin the American SOL
diers were surprised at the large num-
Der of Chinese women lying dead in the
streets and houses, with no outward
mark of violence on their bodies. They
had poisoned themselves, so great ter
ror had they of the foreign soldiers.
Many thousands committed suicide as
soon as they heard the soldiers had en-
tered Pekin,. AS an instance Mr.. Dieden-
hofer told how soon after entering the
walled city his company was marching
down one of the principal streets when
they saw several Chinese women run
ming on the top of a high wall. Catch
ing sight of the soldiers they stopped
and, uttering wild shrieks of terror,
to pieces on the road over 100 feet below
The roads to Pekin were streWn with
dead headless bodies of the people killed
by the Boxers, and on posts and trees
in all directions could be seen heads
hanging by their pigtails.
The Russians, he says, show no mercy,
and always have their bayonets fixed
and their guns ready to kill. Mr.. Dieden-
hofer told of two scenes he had wit
messed of Russian brutality. Shortly
after the battle of Tien Tsin the troops
rode past a small creek, when a China
man was seen to leap out Of the weeds
and run in great fright from the soldiers.
In his terror he almost ran into big
Russian, who, IS the Chinaman passed,
knocked him over with the butt end of
the gun, ran him through with his
bayonet, then placing his foot on the
dying man, wrenched out the bayonet
and coolly wiped off the blood on the
writhing body Another time a number
of Chinese women and children were dis
covered by the Russians, and as the de-
fenseless people fell on their knees and
begged for mercy as well as they could,
the Russian brutes butchered them.
Mr.. Diendenhofer made a large collec-
ton of curios, and has in his collection
a Boxers and an imperial soldiers pig
tail, three rifles and several swords.

Joseph S. Nassau, a live stock dealer,
who lives at COL Dayton avenue, called
on the Rev. Henry Dixon Jones, rector
Of the Church of the Messiah, the other
day to repay the pastoral calls the rev.
erend gentleman made at his home while
he was absent from the city. AS the re-
suit of a conversation over matters upon
which they could not exactly agree, a
personal encounter occurred in which the
visitor won the honorS

dustrious in making pastoral visits, and
has been criticised for calling so fire.

ish This seems to be the case in regard
to Mrs NASSAU, whose husband objected
to such actions.
Mr. Nassau, accompanied by his wife,
called at Mr.. Jones home the day after
Christmas to consider the matter. He
accused Mr. Jones of certain things, all
Of which were strenuously denied. After
prolonging the debate for few moments,
he struck the minister in the face,
knocking him over a table which was
standing near, laden with several arti-
cles of fancy chinaWare. The dishes were
broken and Mr.. Jones' face was badly
truised. Mr.. Nassau continued his re-
marks, but as Jones retained his reclining
position the fstic exercise was not re-
newed.
Rev. Jones is not inclined to appeal to
the law for revenge for the assault. but
is content to comply with the Scriptural
injunction about turning the other cheek.
When told that serious charges would be
preferred against him as an official Of
the church, he replied that he was inno-
cent of any wrongdoing.
Mr.. Nassau feels inclined to let the
matter drop, as he thinks he has all the
satisfaction he wants. However, he be-
lieves that the members of the parish will

AUDITOR USED FIST
JOHN o. CEDERBERG, A WATER
BOARD EMPLOYE, NEARLY
TOOK THE COUNT
1MPUGNED HIS vERAC1TY
Trouble Arose over the Misplace
ment of Official Paper. and a
Warrant for Assault
Is Probable.

County Auditor johnson yesterday
struck John o. Ccderberg, q water board
employe, in the eye, and knocked him
to the floor. The scuffle took place in the
private office of the auditor.
For the past few days Cederberg has
been allowed by the county auditor to
examine and check over papers in his
office. This was done at the request of
Secretary John Caulfeld, Of the board,
who wanted the figures on which to base
test case to be brought against the
city on the water frontage tax matter.
When Cederberg finished his work, the
auditor claims, he left the papers he had
been using in pile on the floor, neglect
ing to replace them in their proper por,
ton or the file cases in the vault.
The county auditor did not think this
was the proper manner In which to repav
the courtesy he had extended the repre-
sentative of the water board, and last
Tuesday he dictated a letter to that ef-
feet to Mr.. Caulfield.
Caulfeld and Cederberg came over to
see the auditor about the matter yester-
day morning, and Mr.. Johnson took them
in to view the remains. Cederberg, IL
seems, at once denied having left the pa
pers on the floor, and said that anyone
who said he did lied
The auditor is reported to have re-
piled that it was small matter anyway,
and that some of his clerks would set
the papers right, but Mr.. Caulfeld in
sisted that If his representative was at
fault he would see that all the documents
were replaced as they should have been.
The auditor says that CedefSSTg again
asserted that if anyone said he left the
papers on the floor he lied, and then
the party started for the door. When
opposite the door Of the county auditors
private office Cederberg repeated his as
Sertion, and Johnson said to him that he
had heard that remark before, and if 1t
was repeated again it would meet with
ready response, as the statement that
Cederberg had left the papers on the
floor was his.
Nothing daunted Cederberg took an
other chance, with his original remark
as the foundation, and no sooner had he
uttered the word ''lied" than the irate
auditor left fly with his right, with the
result that the water board man went to
grass, was nearly counted out, regalned
his feet and left the office without the
customary statement to the press or the
renewal of hostilities.
Mr.. Cederberg called up the office OF
the county attorney late in the evening
with the probable purpose of asking for
a warrant for the auditor on the charge
Of assault.
