ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE coMMoNER FOR 1903.

On December II, 1900, it was
announced through the Associ-
ated Press that Mr.. Bryan was
about TO begin the publication of
a weekly newspaper to be known
as The Commoner. Subscript-
ions began coming in Immediate
ly, and soon taxed the resources
at hand to properly care for
them. On January 23, 1901, the
first number of the The Com
moner made its appearance.
The paper then consisted of eight
pages, but before the end of the
first year it was increased in
size TO twelve pages, and during
the second year to sixteen pages.
The circulation of The Common
er has made "A steady growth,
each week showing an increase
over the preceding week until
the paper, as it nears the end of
its.second year, has a circula-
ton of 100000.
The year 1908 will be full of
interest to those who are study
lE.g governmental problems.
During the next twelve months
the lines will be formed upon
which the next national cam
paign will be fought. During
this period it will be decided
whether the gold-corporation
element known as ''the reorgan-
izers" will gain control of the
democratic party or whether the
party will remain true TO demo-
craticjprinciples as they are sci
froth in the Kansas City plat
form.
1t is the purpose of The Conn
moner to carry on campaign OF
education and organization to the
end that democratic principles
may Triumph; and thinking men
and women, of whatever politi-
cal faith, who desire to study
both sides of pending questions
will find in its columns much val
liable information.

county authorities assert that they were not
definitely appraised of their proximity to
the bandits until message was received
from Chief O'Neill, of Chicago, telling of
the escape of the men from the dugout.
They point out that had they received word
before noon yesterday they could have
captured the trio and obtained the reward
offered. All of the men are indictable in
this State and should have been placed in
Jail at Hammond or Crown Point.
School Teacher Henry Riechers, who
first notified the Chicago police, is freely
criticised for not informing the home au-
thoriues. Suppose said a sergeant on
the Hammond police force, 1--WE had or

ANOTHER CONFESSION.


Previously to his career as a hold-up man
and murderer in Chicago Peter Neidermeier
was already a man-slayer. according to a
story he told in the Harrison-street police
station tonight. According to this story
Neidermeier's first victim was a trainman in
Canada. To the police officers and railroad
detectives who were questioning him, he re-
lated the circumstances as follows:
"In 1855 l was beating my way on a
freight train loaded with coal bound from
Portage, Ont. While riding on top or the
train l was ordered to get off by man
name 1 never learned. L heard afterwards
that he was a railroad detective. he
ordered me from the train and when re,
threw back at him and one of the Jumps
struck him on the head. Then he drew a
revolver and fired twice at me. Both times
he missed me and then drew my revolver.
hit him. / shot him in the head,
in the abdomen and in the side.
He ran a few feet and fell dead on top OF
the car. I searched him and found no
money. Later the train crew came along
and heard they found $40 in his pockets.
/ was sore when L learned what l had
missed. 1 was only boy then, but L oio
not intend TO be run over by any officer,
and when he tried to make me get off the
train decided il would be my life or his.
After shooting him l got off the train and
more about the caSe.'
ROBBED A TRAIN IN INDIANA.
Peter Neidermeier tonight confessed that
he has been guilty of robbing trains in adj
dition to his other crimes.
He admitted that he was the leader of
a gang that held up and robbed a Balti-
more 81 Ohio passenger train near Miller,
Ind, about two years ago. The robbery
was committed near the spot where the
three men were discovered yesterday by the
police and Neidermeier tonight said that
the dug-ont In which he and his compan-
ions were found yesterday was the one In
which he and his partner train robbers had
hidden when the Baltimore & Ohio train was
robbed.
Yesterday when captured near Liverpool.
Ind, Neidermeier, speaking in low tone
TO George Hamilton, one of the men to
whom he surrendered, asked him If he
would give him promise. Hamilton said
he would, and Neidermeier replied: We'll,
II you will give my mother one-half of the
money that is hanging over me 1 Will tell
you something"
Before he could talk further the crowd
pressed in close and Neidermeier refused
to go on with the confession. To-day Ham,
ilton was in Chicago to give evidence
against the three men before the grand
jury, and Neidermeier told him of his part
in the robbery of the train.
None of these other boys was in that
affair."" he said 81 had a partner, who
since that time has been leading a decent
life, and I'll never tell his name. We two
were the only ones in the robbery"

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER
MIR. YERKES SAYS COST OF CoLLEC-
TION WAS ONLY 2.O7 PER CENT.
Decrease Due to Refunds, Payment of
Rebates and Abolition of Taxes
by Congressional Act.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-John w.
ferkes, commissioner of internal revenue, in
his annual report to the secretary of the
treasury SHOWS that the total receipts Of
his bureau for the fiscal year ending June
l. 1908, were $3.50, 74o,s25, at a cost of collec-
uon OF 2.W per cent. The receipts for the
last fiscal year are about 100000 less
than for the year 1902.
This decrease" says the commissioner
is not due to diminution in the business
movements and commercial transactions Of
the country. but entirely to reduction Of
internal revenue taxes. The receipts for the
first three months Of this current fiscal
year show a gratifying increase and it is
estimated that the receipts for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1904 will aggregate
$250,OO0,000. Under recent congressional en-
actments providing for the refund of taxes
collected upon requests or legacies for uses
of a religious, literary, charitable or edu-
cational character, $751;, 232 has been re-
funded. Various other refunds have been
made under remedial statutes, such as
taxes paid on contingent beneficial inter-
ests, on export bills of lading and tax on
dividends and interests collected under the
acts of 1862 and 1864. Payments Of draw
backs or rebates all original un-
broken factory packages of smoking and
manufactured tobacco. snuff and cigars
held by manufacturers or dealers at the
time the decrease in the rate of taxation on
these articles became effective amounted
on Nov. /, 1903, to $3.11O,OO9 Under these,
the act of April II, 1902, making provision
for the payment of similar rebates on to-
bacco and snuff held by manufacturers
or dealers on the 1st of July, 1902, on which
date the act reducing the rate of tax from
SO to cents per pound became effective,
$4,045,63S has been paid in rebate.
During the fiscal year there were re-
ceived 2,5S3 claims for the refunding OF as
sessed and the redemption of internal
revenue stamps, other than unused docu-
mentary and proprietary stamps, amount
ing to $3.50, $50, and during the fiscal year
1,549 claims, amounting to 500, 995. were al
lowed and 902 claims, amounting to $745,S75
were rejected or returned for amendment.
There have been also filed 1855 claims,
aggregating $627, 2S3, for abatement of taxes
assessed and by dealers for credits. OF
this class of claims, allowances to the
amount Of 1885 were made. During the
past fiscal year matters connected with
the tax on oleomargerine, adulterated and
process butter occupied a large part of the
time Of officials of internal revenue serv-
ice"

TRAVELLING MEMS SMOKER.
Commercial Travellers Association at
ClaypoOl.


ClaypoOl.
Over 500 travelling men, most of whom
live in Indianapolis, attended the smoker
of the Commercial Travellers Association,
given last night in the assembly hall of
the Claypool Hotel. The entertainment was
entirely informal, and the evening was spent
in smoking good cigars, eating apples and
listening to short extemporaneous speeches
An interesting vaudeville programme was
furnished by Harry Porter and Edward
Shiffiin, Of this city, including a darby
sketch with songs and the recitation of
some of James Whitcomb Riley's most pop
ular poems.
Mayor Hoffman was present and made
a short speech, in which he said that the
commercial travellers are great educators,
for the reason that they have to keep
abreast of current events
f. e. Floyd, president of the CONNER
cial Travellers Association of Indiana, pre-
sided at the smoker. Short talks were made
by p. J. kelleher, of Indianapolis, and
George c. Webster, one or the Oldest trav-
cling men of the city A quartet of travel
ing men sang and was roundly applauded.
The smoker broke uo at ii O'Clock.
1t has been the usual custom in the Com
mercial Travellers Association to hold one
large smoker every year. However, il has
been decided to increase the number to
four each year, one every three months.
The object of the smokers is to interest
the travelling men who are not members of
the organization in the Commercial Trav-
elers Association. There are a great many
young travelling men in Indianapolis who
are not affiliated with the association, and
special efforts are to be made to bring them
in. The association Is meeting with sue
cess, and Is growing rapidly. Last night
about twenty young travelling men filed
out application blanks for membership.
The next smoker probably will be held near
the first of the year.
