posted the following statement IS ad
dressed:
When the new company began bust
ness last spring they announced a
schedule of prices considerably lower
than the former prevailing prices. prom
Using in addition to the reduction in
price, correction as far as possible OF
the treatment and service the people
had been receiving.
The opposition determined to make
short work of the upstart. proceeded to
cut The Mutual schedule, in some
cases as much as 50 per cent. This cut
in price was met as nearly as possible
by The Mutual which resulted in a
small net loss TO the company in the
years business however. nearly s.. 600
in shareholders rebates had been dis
tributed.
This year the management decided to
again adopt the same schedule of prices
as at the start, and this has been done.
with two slight alterations made in the
interest of the service.
The splendid support given the COM
pany and the promise of larger patron
age for the future shows that the peo-
pie are with The Mutual and viii re-
joice in it's success.
Plans are now being prepared for the
addition to the plant of a 10000 barrel
apple storage building, and it IS ex-
pected that same VIII be completed in
time for this falls crop of fruit
That the opposition has seen TT TO
duplicate Mutual prices is something
the company takes neither blame nor
credit for. but it cannot be denied that
The Mutual has compelled the ad0p-
ton of fair rate and proper treat
ment to ice consumers of the city.
The fact that above 500 Of the city's
best people are shareholders in The
Mutual company, should be suffi-
Gent guarantee that the company viii
fully protect the interests of the ice
users Of the city as against all in
justice.

MEANS MUCH TO IOWA.
An Important Decision Rend-
cred in Tax Case.

Chicago March pa dispatch to the
Chronicle from Clinton, Iowa. says:
Judge P. B. Wolfe of the Seventh
Iowa judicial district has just rendered
an important decision regarding the
power of assessors to assess taxes on
property in the hands Of a trust com
pany as trustee The court holds such
property is liable to assessment both for
county and city taxes
The case at issue was that of the
German Trust company VS.. the board
of review. the city assessor OF Daven-
port and the board Of supervisors of
Scott county. The amount is IN the
neighborhood of 100000 s217 900 OF
which is owned outside of the state.
Regarding the securities owned out
side the state the court says:
For many purposes the domicile of
the owner is deemed the situs of his
personal property. This, however, is
only fiction for motives Of conven-
fence, and is not of universal applica-
ton, but yields to actual situs of the
property when justice requires that it
should. It is not allowed to be con-
trolling in matters of taxation.
Millions Of dollars worth of property
in Iowa is affected by the decision. The
defendant will carry the case to the
supreme court.

NEW ACTS FOR FIELD.
Everhart, It Is Said, Has Found Won
ders for Him.

New York, March 27.-Al G. Field, the
proprietor of the Al G Field Greater
Ministries. counts his friends in every
city in the country by the hundreds.
For eighteen years he has been at the
head Of his company and has made q
modest fortune in a business which is
considered precarious.
1t is the policy of Al G. Field to give
his patrons something new each sue
ceeding season. and he has educated
them to expect this; consequently he is
always on the alert for novelties.
E.verhart the hoop roller. who is a
headliner in the vaudeville theaters of
the Old World, has been looking up acts
for Mr. Field for the coming season
He writes that he has engaged two posi-
tive novelties. and viii bring them to
America when he returns in June. Their
first appearance viii be with the Al G.
Field minstrels next season, which be-
gins about August l.
Mr. Everhart is sanguine that the acts
he has selected viii prove big attrac-
tons. He was connected with the Al G.
Field minstrels for several seasons. and
it was with that company he first intro
duced his hoop act to the public. where
for two seasons it was the feature.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Field is interested in other enterprises,
he gives his constant attention to his
minstrel show, and has been with it al
most constantly since its Organizat ton
up to the present time, with the excep-
ton of three months of the present sea
son. when he was incapacitated
/ through an accident.

but expect in the future to increase the

manufacture of excelsior one of the
branches of their trade.
Excelsior is in such demand that it IS
very high in price, and hard to obtain

ahead It has risen in price from $40

maple, cottonwood and similar kinds Of
wood which grow in this vicinity The
wood is used in the form of blocks

LAND BILL DETAILS.
Full Text of the Measure Has Been
Given Out.

London, March 27.-The text of the
Irish land purchase bill which was in
troduced in the house of commons by
the Irish secretary, Mr.. Wyndham on
Wednesday last was given out today. It
occupies 80 pages of a parliamentary
paper and bristles with technicahties.
The full wording reveals many import
ant features which were not mentioned
in Mr. Wyndham's speech when the bill
was introduced. All arrears of rent due
at the time of the purchase of land are
recoverable by the land commission
and not the arrears for a year only as
previously cabled. The land commits
sioners however. are given power in
special cases to remit part OF all of the
arrears The commissioners are not
permitted to purchase estates which are
not mainly agricultural or pastoral.
Thus Killarney is exempt under this
clause In cases of untenanted estates
purchased by the commissioners they
are empowered to execute the necessary
works of Improvements which tremend-
ously enlarges the scope of the commits
sion's expenditure The commission is
empowered to declare subtenants- to be
tenants of any holding occupied by
them which viii vastly benefit hum
dreds.
Fishing and shooting and mineral
rights, which are among the most con-
trOversial, Will be vested in the COM
missioners when an estate is purchased
and can be disposed of as the commits
sioners decide. The commissioners are
also empowered to determine boundar-
les and other disputes between the pro
prietors of holding until the bill.
The commission has the first claim TO
purchase supplies and can sell them 10
tenants or use portions of them for the
repatriation of evicted tenants The lat-
ter point is regarded as being one OF
the most vital features of the bill
