cHlcAGo,s TAX FRAUDS.
Several Big Firms Said to Have Lens
Willing Ears to the "Fixers."


AS the unraveling in Chicago of the
Masonic Temple tax fixing conspiracy
progresses it becomes more and more like
a rabbit warren, one opening leads TO
another and one surprise follows announcer
in such quick succession as to make one
wonder if the whole business fabric OF
Chicago is to be punctuated with evil
dence of dishonesty in the way OF trying
to dodge their legitimate taxes. BESIDES
the half dozen prominent business names
dragged into this case, as the trial OF
President Gormley of the Temple Asso-
citation progressed Saturday, two more
prominent names were brought in rs be-
ing among those who had not turned dear
ears to the fixing" proposition.
Efforts on the part of Attorney Wing
to bring out the names of others VINO
might have been involved were met with
objection after objection from the State,
which were sustained by the coart.
Attorney Wing and Judge Horton
clashed continually and Mr.. Wing IN
dulged in much acrimony.
The State is bending it's most vigorous
efforts to follow up the distribution or
the $4,000 paid by the Temple people.
In this connection story developed Sat
urday which is at least interesting and
may be the answer to this important
question. OF the $4,000 Wheeler says
Williams got $4,000, but he (Wheeler)
received $1,000, that Peter Storm, the
clerk of the County Treasurer's office, re-
tanned the balance. Many do not believe
this story, but as Peter Storm took bis
own life year ago no one can give ex-
PLANTATION as to the disposition of by far
the greater norton of the $4,000.

DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS.
Most OF Those Who have Been Waiting
For an Extension Have Now Paid up.
News and Courier. /

Columbia, December 27.-Gover.
nor MoSweeney announced to-day
that taxes had been paid in about
sufficient amount to guarantee that
there would be no trouble about
meeting obligations the first OF next
month. This would indicate that
those who have been waiting for an
extension have paid up though such
is not the case in Richland. The
county treasurer has charged up for
COLI ,tion $l58,0O0, and OF that
amount only $4,000 has been paid
in. The treasurer says the only
railroad that has paid in this county
ia the Coast Line. The State Treas
urer understood, however, from a
leteter from the Southern, that it's
taxes had been paid in all the
counties, but the amount due here
had not arrived up to this time.

The Department Of Commerce.
Augusta Chronicle)

In the presidents message there
WAS recommendation in favor OF
the proposed Department Of Com
merce to be presided over by another
mem"e of the cabinet. There seems
to be no sufficient amount Of work in
the immediate field Of commerce for
a governmental department., and tho
friends of the measure are foraging
on the other departments, trying to
capture a bureau here and there
with which to furnish the empty
halls OF the new department. The
Springfield Republican says OF it:
"The measure which has passed
the senate and is now before the
house reveals no natural demand for
such department. 1t reflects the
necessity of creating such depart.
arbitrarily,if it is created of respeo.
table size and consequence. It has
had to skirmish around among tho
other branches of the executive ser.
vice and seize bureau here, com.
mission there, and board in some
other place. And the existing de-.
partments, thus robbed, one and ali
protest. The treasury department ob.
jeots to the taking over of it's bureau
OF statistics and bureau of navaQa.
ton, since they have become closely
lnterwoven with the customs work of
the treasury. The commissioner of
patents objects to the transfer Of that
office to the proposed department,
an d the secretary of state objects to
any plan Of divided departmental
jurisdiction over the consular service.
And 80 it goes all along the line OF
the raid through existing depart
ments TO gather togather depart.
ment Of commerce.
This means simply that no need
whatever is felt to exist for the new
department, in the executive service
OF the government as now organized.
Shall one, then be arbitrarily created
merely for the sake of providing u
new cabinet Office to which the pres.
ident may appoint his excellent pr
vate secretary, Mr.. Cortelyoup"
1t has been published, whether by
authority or not, that Mr., Oortelyou
is slated for this new cabinet port
folio, but 1t is perhaps little ex-
treme to charge that the department
is being established for the purpose
Of fixing place for Mr.. Cortely you.
But without going to this extrem.
we may challenge the need for the
department. 1t is true t, at our com
merce has grown to mammoth pro.
portions, but Judging from the un.
Willingness of the present depart
ments to surrender a bureau, there
is no insuperable reason why the
work OF the proposed department Of
commerce cannot be done in one OF
the departments already existing.

IDEAL SPRAY WAGON.
1t Has been in Successful Operation
for Several Years IN Large
Apple Orchard.

Insects and fungus diseases have
become so numerous their destruc-
tion or prevention is absolutely nee
essary if high grade fruit of any
kind is to be produced. This can be
done largely by spraying, and this
practice is now generally regarded as
essential by the more successful
fruit growers. There are many kinds
of spraying machinery on the mar
ket, from large power machines down
to small hand or force pumps. For
the small power, the llnapsack spray
ing machine is most satisfactory; the
commercial grower needs large
wagon and other material for doing
the work on an extensive scale. The
numerous illustrated spraying ma
chine catalogues can suit the wants
of anyone as to machinery and equip
mentS.
The spray wagon portrayed here
with is in use in one of the largest
apple orchards of the country. The
tank is of 1A-inch pine, grooved and

gedly, biting at the butt of his cigar
as he spoke. ''It don't matter a curse
to me; you don't mean to tell me you
think I'm fool enough to stand by and
see myself"
At that moment Codd, who had
been away Investigating on his own
account, and had no idea of the 9TH
ers' quarrel, gave shout of delight.
He was at the further end of the
courtyard, at a spot where dense
mass of creeper had fallen, and now
lay trailing upon the stones. The eff
feet upon his companions was in
stantaneous. They abandoned their
quarrel without another word, and
picking up their crowbars hastened
to the spot where he was waiting for
them.
What have you found, little man?"
inquired kitwater, as he approached.
Mr. Codd, however, said nothing in
reply, but beat with his bar upon the
stone beneath him. There could be
little or no doubt about the hollow

"We've got it," cried Kitwater
Bring the pickaX, Hayle, and Wen
soon see what is underneath this
precious stone. We may be at the
heart of the mystery for all we
know"
In less time than it takes to tell,
Hayle had complied with the others
request, and was hard at work pick
ing out the earth which held the
enormous tlagstone in its place. A
state of mad excitement had taken
hold of the men, and the veins stood
out like whipcord upon Hayle's fore
head. 1t was difficult to say how
many feet separated them from the
treasure that was to make them lords
of all the earth. At last the stone
showed signs of moving, and it was
possible for Kitwater to insert his
bar beneath one corner. He did so,
pried it up, and leaned upon it with
all his weight. 1t showed no sign of
moving, however. The seal of Time

light of the torch reflected the walls
on either side. Hayle wondered for a
moment as he followed his leader what
would happen to them if the Chinese,
of whom the old Frencbman had
spoken to Kitwater, should discover
their presence in the ruins, and should
replace the stone upon the hole. In
that case the treasure would prove of
small value to them, for they would
be buried alive. He did not allow his
mind, however, to dwell very long
upon this subject, for Kitwater. who
was pushing on ahead with the torch,
had left the passage and was standing
in a large and apparently well vaulted
chamber. Handsomely carved pillars
supported the roof, the floor was well
paved, while on either side there were
receptacles, not unlike the inches in
the Roman catacombs, though for
what purpose they were intended was
not at first glance so easy to deter
mine. With hearts that beat tumul-
tuously in their breasts, they hastened
to one of them to see what it con-
tanned. The niche in question was
filled with strange looking vessels,
some like bowls, and others not unlike
crucibles. The men almost clambered
over each other in their excitement to
see what they contained. 1t was as if
their whole existence depended upon
it; they could scarcely breathe for ex-
citement. Every moments delay was
unspeakable agony. At last, however,
the coverings were withdrawn and the
contents of the receptacles stood re-
vealed. Two were filled with uncut
gems, rubies and sapphires, other =
contained bar gold, and yet more con-
tanned gems, to which it was scarcely
possible in such a light to assign a
name. One thing at least was certain.
So vast was the treasure that the
three men stood tongue-tied with
amazement at their good fortune. In
their widest dreams they had never
imagined such luck, and now that this
vast treasure lay a their finger-ends,
to be handled, to be made sure of,
they were unable to realize the extent
of their future happiness. Hayle dived
his hands into a bowl of uncut rubes,
and having collected as many as he
could hold in each fist, turned to his
companions.
Look here" he cried, "it's the Bank
of England in each hand"
His voice ended in choke. Then
Kitwater took up the tale.
81 must get out of this or [ shall go
mad" he muttered, hoarsely. Come,
let us go back to the light. If don't
l shall die"

inches and holds 300 gallons, being
held together by six hardwood
bands, 2X2h inches on top and under
bottom, which are bolted together by
long bolts running up the outside of
any tank. The manhole in top is
large enough to admit a boy to clean
the tank thoroughly. The so-called
drivers seat is used as a support for
the pump, the driver standing just in
rear and doing all the pumping as
well as driving the team.
The platform is 6x7 feet, supported
by four standards feet by 10 inches,
of l u inch hard pine. The cut shows
how the platform is made. a broad
tired wagon should be used, as plowed
orchard fields can be traversed more
easily. Two leads of one-half-inch
rubber hose, each 25 feet long and
supported on bamboo fishing poles,
are used. BY using Y on each lead,
two nozzles on each pipe will hasten
the work. An agitator may be kept
at work in the tank by means of
sprOcket wheels and n chain attached
to the spokes of the rear wheel. The
forward end of the tank should set
little lower than the rear, that the
pump may pump it more nearly dry.

COMBATING WEEDS.
Rank Growth of Useless Plants Has
Demonstrated the value of
Thorough TiIIHEe.

There is no royal read to weedless
farming. Following are some of the
means of keeping weeds in check:
1. Practice rotation; keep ahead of
the weeds. Certain weeds follow GER
tain crops; when these weeds become
serions, change the crop.
2. Change the method of tillage. If
weed persists, try deeper or shall
lower blowing, or a different kind of
harrow or cultivator, or till at differ
ent times and seasons.
8. Harrow the land frequently when
it is in fallow, or is waiting for a
crop. Harrow it, if possible, after
seeding, and before the plants are
high enough to be broken by the i'm
plement. Potatoes, corn and other
things can be narrowed after they
are several inches high; and some-
times the land may be narrowed be-
fore the plants are up.
4. Practice frequent tillage with
light surface working tools through
out the season. This is hard on
weeds, and does the crop good.
5. Pull or hoe out stray weeds that
escape the wheel tools.
6. Clean the land as soon as the
crop is harvested, and if the land
lies open in the fall, till it OCCASION
ally. Many persons keep their prem
ises scrupulously clean in the early
season, but let them run wild late in
the fall, and thus is the land seeded
for the following year.
Use clean seed, particularly of
crops that are sown broadcast, and
which, therefore, do not admit of til
lage.
8. Do not let the weeds go to seed
on the manure piles, in the fence cor
ners, and along the highway.
0. Avoid coarse and raw stable ma
nure, particularly if it is suspected
of harboring bad company. CONNER
cial fertilizers may be used for a
time on foul land.
10. Sheep and pigs sometimes can
be employed to clean the weeds from
foul and fallow land. Land infested
with Jerusalem artichosses is readily
cleaned if hogs are turned in.
II. Induce your neigtbor to keep
his land as clean as you keep yours.
Rank pigweeds and their illl are
compliment to Il mans soil. Land
that will not grow weeds will not
grow crops, for crops are only those
particular kinds of weeds man
wants to raise. Weeds have taught
us the lesson OF good tillage. There
is no indication that they intend to
remit their efforts IN our behalf

AN ENTHUSIASTIC READER.
The Interest Richardson Excited in
Lady BrndshaiEh by His story
of "CIarissa HarIowe."

Happy would be the modern novel
ist who should awaken one tithe of
the interest excited by Richardson's s
novels in Lady Bradshaigh, one of
the authors friends. This lady en-
tered so deeply into the story of
"Clarissa Harlowe" that she regard
ed the actors in it as real persons,
says the Youths Companion. "Would
you have me weep incessantly?" she
asked, on receiving volume five.
Again, after she had learned what
the catastrophe was to be, she wrote:
'If it be possible, recall the dread
full sentence. My hand trembles, for
l can scarcely hold my pen. / cannot
help hating you if you alter not your
scheme"
All her persuasions were in vain;
but having suffered so much on
Clarissa's account, it was certainly
little hard that, in his third novel,
he must threaten her with the death
of his heroine. Then criticism was
changed to entreaty. 81 was forced
to lie down." she says, "and was re-
lieved for a moment by flood of
tears. | was not without some hope
of relief from your letter, but alas!
l am more confirmed by it in what 1
dreaded"
She adds in a ostscript: This
letter will weigh heavy with my tears.
1t has been thoroughly soaked; and
| have but one poor consolation left,
that if you kill me, it is the way you
use all your heroines."
Richardson's reply was to send her
the seventh volume, where the hero
inc was blessed with good fortune !;
and Lady Bradshaigh's relief found
an expression equally exaggerated.
God Almighty bless you, my dear
SIR" she writes, 'for setting my
bursting heart at ease. l wish you
had seen me open your letter, trem-
bling, laying it down, taking it up
again, unresolved whether to look at
the beginning or the conclusion. At
last | ventured to unfold it partly,
and with side glance read a Jew
words which instantly produced the
happiest tears l ever shed. Oh, sir,
YOU would rejoice in the pain you
occasioned me, could you but know
how l feel. Forgive you? From my
heart and soul [ thank you"

But the general effect was grand in
che extreme. From courtyard to
courtyard they wandered, but without
finding the particular place of which
they were in search. 1t was more diff
cult to discover than they had expect
ed; indeed, they had walked many
miles through deserted streets, and
the afternoon was well advanced be-
fore a hail from Codd, who had gone
on ahead of them, informed them that
at last some sort of success had
crowned their efforts. When they
came up with him they found them
selves in a courtyard somewhat larger
Chan those they had previously ex-
pIored, the four corners of which we're
decorated with three united elephants
beads.
