WASHINGTON CITY
NEWSPAPER MEN

Denver, Aug 14.-A brilliant galaxy
of newspaper men will be guests of
Denver and other points in Colorado
September 9th, 10th and 11th. The
party will embrace thirty Washington
correspondents of the leading metro
politan journals, who will be guests of
the Union Pacific Railway Company
and travelling in special train.
The trip, which was originated by the
Union Pacific, is designed to afford the
correspondents eighteen days of recre-
alton and pleasure and at the same
time thoroughly inform them as to
land and irrigation conditions in the
West.
c.. e. Wantland of Denver. general
sales agent of the Union Pacific land
department, who has been actively in
terested in the project, says:
This will be the first trip of the
kind ever undertaken, and is only pos
sible now because no political cam
paign is in progress. The strongest
men in newspaper work in Washington
will be in the party. The aim is to give
them full information regarding land
and irrigation in Kansas, Colorado
Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. The sched-
ule is not complete yet as to details.
but the party will leave Washington
September 5th, stop in Kansas City on
the 7th, cross Kansas and see the Won
derful agricultural development in the
western part of that state on the Sth,
reaching Denver on the 9th. The 9th,
10th and part of the 18th will be spent
in Colorado during which time the par
ty will visit Colorado Springs and Grip
pie Greek On the 18th Greeley and
Cheyenne will be visited. The party
will reach Ogden in time for the open
ing of the irrigation congress on the
18th. where two days will be spent.

Denver, Aug. 1.-THE inheritance
tax law of 1901 is void, and the state
will lose approximately $250.ooo, which
was due under this act. This decision
has already been sustained in the Coun-
ty Court and the District Court. and
yesterday stipulation was filed in the
District Court, signed by the attorney
general, acknowledging the law to be
null and void and agreeing to the dis
missal of the appeal just carried to the
Supreme Court.
That the law of 1901 was void has
been the opinion of the attorney gen.
erals Office for some time. The bill
was passed on the last night of the ses-
sion, some time after II O'Clock. Then
1t was in much the same condition as
the discredited appropriation bill
passed at the last regular session of
the Legislature. 1t was not enrolled,
and blank pieces of paper were signed
by the speaker of the House and the
president of the Senate. For this rea-
son, another bill, covering the same
points. was passed at the 1902 session
of the Legislature.
There were q number of estates COM
ing under the law of 1901. and the state
made an effort to secure the taxes on
several of the largest of them. The
three largest. the Strong estate, valued
at $500. 900, the William Church estate.
valued at 100000, and the William F.
McClelland estate, valued at 100000,
Joined together, and it was agreed to

Victor. Colo, Aug. 14.-At the conciu-
sion of an executive meeting of the mine
Owners and managers of the Cripple
Creek district at the offices of the Bank
of Victor. the following statement was
made public at l o'clock yesterday af
ternoon:
"A general strike has been called on
the mines of the Cripple Creek district
by the executive heads of the Western
Federation of Miners. At the time the
strike was called. and in fact. ever
since the settlement of the labor diff
culties of 1894, the most sntfre har-
mony and good will have prevailed be-
tween employers and the employed in
this district. Wages and hours of labor
have been satisfactory and according
to union standards, and general labor
conditions have been all that could be
wished.
Notwithstanding all this, the heads
of the Western Federation have seen
fit to compel cessation of alr labor
in the district, not because of any
grievance of their own against the
Cripple Creek operators. but for rea-
sons entirely beyond our control. No
more arbitrary and unjustifiable action
mars the annals of organized labor,
and we denounce 1t as an outrage
against both employers and employed.
The fact that there are no grivances to
adjust. and no unsatisfactory condi-
tions to remedy, leaves the mine oper-
ators but one alternative, and that al
tentative they propose to adopt fearless
1y.
'As fast as men can be secured our
mining operations will be resumed un-
der former conditions, preference being
given to former employees, and all men
applying for work will be protected to
the last degree. In this effort to re-
store the happy conditions which have
so long prevailed we ask. and conf

support of all our former employees who

II Is indeed wonderful medicine be-
side. a good tonic. IN. c. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial
digestion. 1t cures catarrh and leaves tho
stomach te perform digestion in a natural
way. This is vastly better and safer than
resorting to artificial methods,
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies combined,
simply because it cures catarrh wherever
located. If catarrh is located in the head.
Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened
itself in the throat or bronchial tubes.

col ORADO INHERITANCE LAW
OF 1901 IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

make test case on the McClelland es-
tate.
Attorney General Miller at once
brought suit against the executors of
this estate for some So 900 as inheri-
tance tax under the 1901 law The
County Court held that the law was IL
legal and void, and the District Court
upheld this opinion.
Last month the case was taken to
the Supreme Court. and a brief filed for
the state. Since then, however, Attor-
ney General Miller has decided that
there is nc doubt of the unconstitution-
ality of the law, and yesterday he filed
a motion in the Supreme Court to dis
miss his own appeal. with costs to the
defendants.
This is the final end of the litigation
over the Inheritance law of 1901. There
will be no further effort to collect this
money. From the three large estates
that joined in this suit there was due
nearly $4,000. and the attorney general
estimates that the total amount due
under this law, if it had been valid.

The law of 1902 has never been
passed upon. 1t has substantially the
same provisions as those in the bill of
1901, but that has never been subject
ed to the scrutiny of the courts on its
merits. The only point so far that has
been questioned is the manner of its
passage The Stratton estates comes

derstood that fight will be made then

Vesuvius Causes Great Alarm.

Rome, August 14.-Mount Vesuvius
is again causing intense alarm in the
surrounding region, eruptions of the
volcano being very heavy to-day.
From a fresh opening at the base of
the principal crater. two streams of
lava are issuing which within a few
hours to-day covered a wide tract of
ground. One stream is going swiftly
toward the village of Ottajano. the di-
rection taken by the famous eruption
of 1872. Panic prevails, the popula-
ton crowding the churches to pray, or
gathering in open spaces for safety.
Experts, however, affirm that so far
there is no reason to fear a serious
disaster.

French and carried to st. Germain-cn-

was exchanged. Then she quarreled
and fought a duel with her sergeant
and was transferred to another regi-

remain with the regiment as cook.
