Frank Hoffman, the young
man from Higginsville who left
Kansas City Immediately after
the killing of Clarence Myers,
and who was suspected as being
in some way connected with the
murder, was captured at Walla
Walla, WASH, this week and re.
turned to Kansas City. He
made full confession of thecrime.
which he says he and the wife
of Myers committed. He says
he held Myers head while Mrs.
Myers cut her husbands throat.
Hot tman is 10 or 20 years old
is not bright and is easily
influenced. He belongs to a re.
spectacle family at Higginsville,
and his father thinks his son is
not guilty, and says that his
friends and acquaintances are
contributing money to aid in his
defense. The woman is in jail
and will, no doubt, prove to be
the more guilty of the two.

P. r. Dolman Dead.

We see by a dispatch from
Colorado Springs, Colo, dated
July II, that: Peter R. Dolman of
Butte, Mont, died there the
night previous. Col. Dolman
was we'll known in Charlton
county. He lived in Brunswick
for a number of years and was
an uncle to Capt. G. w. Cum
ningham of that place.
He served as colonel in the
union army in the war of the
rebellion, and after the close of
the war he was appointed colonel
of the militia of Charlton county.
He was what was known as
a liberal Republican and was
elected by Democratic votes to
the legislature in 1870 over
Hiram Sisson, the Republican
nominee.
Shortly after the adjournment
of the legislature Col. Dolman
was married to a Miss Carroll
of Pike county with whom he
moved out west and has since
served in the legislatures of
Idaho and Montana. He was
of a jovial, courteous disposi-
ton and made friends wherever
he went.
His remains were taken to
Louisiana, Mo-, for interment.
He was about 20 years of age.

A Correction.

The COURIER, which is gener.
ally very accurate in its state
ments of men and things, COM
mitted an error last week in
making mention of the step
mother of John Quinton, the g.
year-old boy found dead in his
fathers yard, near Bedford. We
said that Mrs. Quinton was in
Jail charged with the murder,
and in some unaccountable way
said that Harry Quinton, father
of the boy, was in Jail also,
which was not the case and we
gladly make the correction in
justice to the father who was il
nowise suspicioned as being
connected with the crime.

Live Stock Market.
Special to the COURIER


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Tuesday,
July II, 1904. When the recent
high water began to go down,
traders at the stockyards
thought their troubles were
about over. The flood did prac-
tically no permanent damage,
and after the water had run out
of the yards scarcely anything
remained to indicate that there
had been a flood. But yester-
day there came rumors from
Chicago that all the union men
in the packing plants at all the
packing centers were to be called
out on a strike to-day at noon.
At the appointed hour they all
walked out, and thus was busi-
ness interrupted a second time
within a week. Of course there
is always possibility that a
strike will be settled at any time,
but even if this strike is not set.
tied by agreement, there is still
a favorable view of the situation.
Probably between 80 and 40 per
cent of the employees of the
packing g-houses are union,
which makes very good nucleus
to work on. The packers will
add to this force as fast as possi-
BILE, and within a few weeks the
plants will DE killing the usual
amount of live stock, or as soon
as the unskilled labor gets the
rough edges knocked off. There
is no question about there being
plenty of help that can be secur.
ed. In the meantime, small
slaughterers will operate much
more extensively than now, and
the export trade will increase as
export of dressed product drops
off. A good many shippers will
hold back for more settled condi-
tions, receipts will be light at all
points, and conservative trades
men do not expect any great de-
probation in live stock values.
About 1900 cattle came in to-
day. Buyers did not take hold
early, waiting for news of the
prospective strike, but the stuff
was finally disposed of on a
steady to 10 cents lower basis.
Order buyers, spectators and
Armour & Co. bought the cattle;
S5.85 was top price. Shippers
bought part of the hogs early,
and Armour went out after noon
and cleaned up the balance at
10 to 15 cents lower prices. Top
price was S5.05, bulk S4.85 to
S4.95. light weights up to $3.50.
A few feeding sheep sold at
steady prices.

A $1,000 Damage Suit.

Machine Co. of ChillcOthe has
brought a $1,000 damage suit
against John Dickinson of near
Triplett at the next November
term of circuit court at Keytes-
vile.
According to plaintiffs petit
ton, the defendant falsely,
fraudulently and wantonly rep
resented to persons generally
with whom he dealt in business
and otherwise, and to one H. c..
Davis and plaintiff in particular,
that his name was j. D. Dickin-
son, knowing said representation
to be false, with intent to defraud
the public in general and the
plaintiff in particular. That on
the 21st day of March, 1908, he
executed negotiable promissory
note whereby he promised to pay
to the Frank Way Foundry and
Machine CO. the sum Of S464 the
1st day of January, 1904, with
interest at the rate of eight per
cent per annum from maturity,
and signed the same with his
own hand j. d. Dickinson, and
delivered same to H. G. Davis,
and then and there falsely,
fraudulently and wantonly rep
resented to H. G.. Davis that he
was j. D. Dickinson, knowing
said representation was false,
with intent to defraud the said
H. G. Davis and the subsequent
holders of said note; that said
H. G. Davis accepted said note,
relying upon the statement made
by defendant to him that he, the
maker of said note, was j. D.
Dickinson, and the said Davis
became the owner of said note
by his said transaction with de-
fendant; that afterwards on the
23rd day of March, 1908, plain
tiff purchased said note from
H. c. Davis for a valuable con-
sideration, before maturity
thereof, in the usual course of
business, without any knowl-
edge of any defects therein, re.
lying upon the statements made
by the defendant to H. G. Davis
and to this plaintiff, long prior
thereto, that he was j. D. Dick
inson, and relying upon and be-
lieving that the large amount of
personal property and lands
owned by J. D. Dickinson was
the property of defendant; that
when said note became due de-
fendant failed and neglected to
pay the same, and plaintiff, re-
lying upon said representation
N a d by t h defendant,
attempted to collect said note,
finally bringing suit in the cir
cult court at the last May term,
and the sheriff of said county,
by his deputy, served summons
upon defendant, who then and
there represented to said sheriff
that he was j. D. Dickinson, but
when the case was called for
trial in the circuit court defend.
ant testified, under oath, that
he was not J. D. Dickinson and
was not the maker of said note
nor the owner of the large
amount of personal property and
lands that he was in possession
of and controlled; but that J T
Dickinson was his wife, W 40 was
the owner of all of said property,
and that he signed his wfe's
name to the note, thus compel
ling plaintiff to dismiss the suit.
Plaintiff AYERS by reason of
said false, fraudulent and wanton
representation on the part of
defendant it has sustained dam
ages in the payment of court
costs, attorneys fees and the
charges for the time and expens-
es of its officers and agents in

THE LITTLE DAWSON JOKER.

Mr.. Farmer, read the Little Joker
that Mr.. Dawson slipped into Sec
ton 50 of Chapter of the new tax
laws:
"BUT THE SHARES OF CAPT
TAI STOCK OWNED BY RESI-
DENTS OF THIS STATE IN
CORPORATIONS ACTUALLY
LOCATED IN OTHER STATES,
AND WHOSE PROPERTY is
TAXED BY THE LAWS OF
SUCH OTHER STATES, SHAEL
NOT BE REQUIRED TO BE
LISTED FOR TAXATION"
Think of of the millions of
property now held by the rich, in
this State and subject to taxation
under the present laws, which will
be EXEMPT under the Dawson
statutes.
YOU will have to make up the
millions that will thus escape the
tax collector by virtue Of Mr.. Daw-
sons high regard for the trusts,
Mr.. FARMER. Nothing that
YOU have, none of YOUR pro-
ducts are exempt, although the pro-
ducts of rich corporations and their
capital stock to boot, go free of tax
alton.

con BLESS THE TRUSTS

Sec. o. of Cha of the new Daw-
son tax law makes the capital stock
of all corporations-inc ali
the big trusts, the billion dollar
steel trust and all the rest-not re
siding IN West Virginia, non. taxa
bic IN this State.
Do the taxpayers catch the full
significance of ;hat
All a man has to do to escape
taxation ia West Virginia Therefore
Is 70 put his money in trust stock
and the tax assessor cannot touch
il.
Meanwhile, all the products of
the big coal oil and gas corpora
tIous IN this State are also exempt
from taxation.
BUT NOT A SINGLE PRO
DUCT OF THE FARMERS. THE
LATTER USED TO BE Elk
MPF,BUT THE DAWSON LAW
PUT THEN BACK ON THE
TAXABLE LIST
How is that for equity, justice
and fair dealing to the farmer !?
Such Is the one sided provision of
the Dawson laws.
All the burdens are piled on to
the farmer and the small home own
crs, whose tax valuations are more
than doubled into the bargain,
while the big corporations, the rich
trusts, go free OF taxes. In bargain
ing for campaign fund with the
trusts Mr.. Dawson was most liberal.
And The resulting infamous bills the
voters arc asked to support at the
polls 10 November.
No wonder Mr. Cornwell has
stated his belief that after the farm
ers are once compelled to pay taxes
under these laws that the politicians
responsible for them will have 20 20

SENATOR HOAR ON
W0MAN'S PROGRESS.

Among the many reforms advo-
Gated by the late u. S. Senator
Hoar, was equal suffrage for women.
He repeatedly presided at the an
nual festivals ut the New England
Woman Suffrage Association, and
scored with his wit and logic the
opponents of equal rights. On one
occasion he said:
owe are apt to be impatient OF
the slow advance of this cause. /
think we may rather wonder that 1t
has advanced so much
"Thirty years ago, the question
was OF giving the suffrage in this
country to class Of persons inferior
IN every legal relation; not entitled
to the legal custody of their own
persons; not permitted to control
their own property; shut out by a
public opinion more tyrannous and
lnilexible than any constitutional
restraint from almost every form of
profitable employment, from learned
professions and from the public
platform, whose legal relation to the
other sex was half that of servant
to a master half that of ward to a
guardian. To day, it is the ques
ton of giving to citizens equal in
every other respect, equality in the
one final matter Of the ballot. 70
talk of suffrage for women thirty
years ago, was almost like talking
OF negro suffrage at the South, the
relation of master and slave contin
uing in all other respects.
"To day, you are asked to confer
the ballot upon women, the owner
of herself and her property. She
who can vote in the bankmeeung on
her own stock simply asks that her
vote may be counted when the
question Of continuing The banking
system is to be settled. She who
can vote in the railroad where she
is owner simply asks to have her
opinion weighed when the policy Of
dealing with railroads is determined
She who can serve on the school
commiite asks 20 have her voice
counted when the school laws are
considered. She who can earn
money in an honest business TO- pay
her taxes, thinks she ought TO have
something TO say when those taxes
are 90 be expended. She who can
discuss every public question 90 The
press or on the platform, and shock
no man, demands that when she
steps down from the platform her
reason may be reinforced by her
vote"

REPUBLICAN PAPER GIVES REASON
why Coal, OIL and Gas Was Not Taxed

The laws enacted at the special
session of the legislature were the
ones recommended by the state plat
form of the Republican party adopt
ed at the Wheeling convention.
1t will be remembered the method
proposed for taxing the production
of coal, oil and gas was the rock on
which the opposing forces split. For
months a contest was waged inces
sanity. Bitter feeling manifested
itself during the discussion, and
serious dissatisfaction took place in
the ranks of the party. At this
juncture compromise was effected.
The question of taxing coal. oil and
gas was put aside for future cohsid
Grafton.
Considering the fact that the par
ty was practically split on the ques-
ton, the course followed was the
only one to pursue Wheeling In
telligencer of September 28, 1904.
