\ Good Showing.

In November, 1901, William Hanna
was elected taX-collector for this, the
third District of Allegany county, his
term being for two years, l902-03. The
total amount of collections charged
against Mr.. Hanna was SIT. 900
$S2 900 for 1902 and so, 900 for 1903, in
Guiding both State and county taxes.
The county treasurer report OF August
81, 1908, shows that Mr.. Hanna has
closed his account with both State and
county, and holds receipts i'll full.
Other collectors for the same years,
l9O2-03, still have outstanding more
than $4,000, and yet this is not all to
Mr.. Hanna's credit, for his services as
collector did not cost the taxpayers of
Allegany county one cent, as during
his term he collected new assessments
to over-pay his salary amounting to
nine hundred dollars Such record
will be appreciated by the many friends
of Mr.. Hanna as well as the tax payers
of the county.

N'CIENrISrS making celestial observations

siderable agitation among the planets of the

The utmost efforts of the observers ena-
bled them to discover with their powerful

That the several Planets had sent protests
to the Sun, alleging that he was
"Loallng on the job"
The Earth's representatives complained
that they had been 'rained on every day
for SIX months.
Venus sent her ENJOYS with the clam that
the lovely lady had to wear an ovcrcoat.
4 protest from Neptune charged that the
season was awfully behindhand and still
slow; that the water is so cold the summer

Old Jupiter, present in person, announced
that he was there for business to nvesti-

After all the complaints had been heard
Old Sol acknowledged that he had acquired

pleasure, seemed to work Il hardship on the
rest of the bunch. But said he 81 am

BANKERS IN THE EAST
 LAND FRAUD VICTIMS
FAR MORE SERIOUS SPINDLE THAN HERETOFORE EXPOSED
 IN OREGON

State Land Agent Asserts Land Oper-
 atOrs Issued Duplicate Certificates
 and Sold the Same Land Over and
 Over Again-FOrged Papers Held by
 Eastern Bankers and Magnitude of
 Frauds Cannot be Known Until All
 Certificates Are Sent in for Examina-
 tiOn-State Seal Forged.
 Salem, Ore, Dec. 3.-Far more serious than any previous development of the many land frauds perpetrated in Ore gon are charges made in letter to Governor George E. Chamberlain yes terday by State Land Agent oswald West, who asserts that by means of forged certificates of sale of school lands, eastern bankers have been swindled out of large sums of money.
 Not content, the land agent asserts, with having defrauded Oregon of 500,- 900 acres of school land, nearly all the state possessed, by means of dummy entrymen, land operators prepared printed certificates of sale and assign ments and inserted in them descrip- tions of school lands for which certifi- cates had previously been issued, and by forgeries of signatures and the great seal of the state of Oregon, sold the lands time and again to innocent per- sons in tn eeast.
 Mir. West says: T have discovered a large number of these forged certiti- cates in the hands of eastern bankers and the magnitude of the frauds will not be known until the subject is given publicity and the eastern holders have sent in their certificates for examina- tion. It is possible that for every gen. uine certificate outstanding there may be from two to dozen fraudulent ones.
 MT. West concluded by saying that the forged certificates are so we'll exec cuted that it is difficult to distinguish them from the originals.

CTS Recommended.

Washington, Dec S.-The annual re- port of Commissioner John W. Yerkes of the internal revenue bureau, treas ury department, shows that the re- ceipts of the bureau for the year ended June 30, 1905, were $2S4,17s. .976, an ex- cess Of $1,2S4, ,195 over the collections for the fiscal year of 1904. Using as a basis the collections for the first three months of the current fiscal year, the commissioner estimates that the re- ceipts from all internal revenue sources for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906, will aggregate $242,0o000O, or nearly $S,- 100000 in excess of those for the last fiscal year. During the last fiscal year there was collected from the tax on dis titled spirits $129, ,512, ,62S; on fermented liquors, $49,45s,539, and on tobacco $45,- 659, ,91O.
 The leading states in the payment of internal revenue taxes for the past year are: Illinois, $51, ,S92,7OS; New York, $27,- 991,5z2: Indiana, $24,652,244; Kentucky $21,574, ,399; Ohio, $19, ,7S2,615; Pennsylva- mia, $19,196,170. In 1904, the total pro- duction of distilled spirits was 13S, ,505, ,214 gallons; in 1905, 15S,259,S79 gallons. In 1904, in round numbers, 11S, 100000 gall Ions of tax paid spirits were with drawn: in 1905, 7,7O0,000. There has been ah increase in the amount of to- bacco and snuff manufactured, and in the production of beer.
 The amount of colored oleomargarine produced shows an increase over 1904, the amount on which tax was paid dur ing the fiscal year being 49,SS0,9 0,9S3 pounds, the tax collected aggregating $444, 1875.
 Commissioner Yerkes discussed the free work" done by his bureau, such as gauging of spirits at rectifying houses; the free stamps used; clerk hire, etc., and recommends legislation fixing charge of 20 cents per stamp for each stamp issued to rectifers or wholesale liquor dealers for use upon packages prepared and sent out by them. From this source the commis- sioner estimates that an increased rev. enue of from $75O,000 to $500, ,000 would be produced. The commissioner also recommends that tax of twenty-five cents per gallon be imposed on all sweet wines fortified through the use of grape brandy. The cost of collect ing the internal revenue last year was $4,705,295 and the commissioner esti- mates that the cost for the next fiscal year will be reduced to $4,6s9,12O. The cost is stated to have been POI per cent. last year, as against an average, since the creation of the bureau of 283 per cent.

EARLY MORNING TRAGEDY
OCCUPANTS OF 4 NEW FORK FLAT AROUSED.

Telephone Superintendent Summons
 People to His Apartments Where His
 'sWife" Is Found Dead--Later When
 Police Arrive He Cannot be Found--
 Murder or suicide--PoIice' Think.
 Latter. .~:s
 New York, Dec. s.--Roy L. Miller, a, telephone superintendent in an up- town hotel, at an early hour this morn ing, aroused the occupants of the Hat adjoining the one he had occupied in East Forty-third street for the last three months with Lottie A. MilIer,5 whom he had introduced as his wife. Exeitedly he called that some one had been shot. Horace Hedden, living in the adjoining apartments, rushed out and followed Miller to the latter's din- ing room, where the woman, fully clothed; lay unconscious upon the floor. Miller fell to his knees and begged her to speak to him; to tell the visitor she had shot herself, but there was no re- sponse. sr5s~
 Hedden hurried out for help. Re- turning few minutes later with a, po- liceman and a doctor, he found the Wo- man dead and Miller gont. An all-day search has failed to locate the man. At first the police held to a theory of suicide, but tonight they ir1timated that. further Investigations threw a new aspect on the case and a general alarm has been sent out for the arrest of Miller. The coroner has ordered an autopsy to be held tomorrow.
 Neighbors of the Millers heard no quarrel, nor did they hear the report of the pistol. There were no signs of a struggle. The woman lay stretched upon the floor, her right hand clasped over a wound in her left breast. Her clothing was scorched by the flash of the powder, so closely had the revolver been held to her breast. The police say there was, however no trace of powder upon the wonan's fingers. The pistol lay near the body on the floor, one chamber empty.
 A search of the woman's effects leads the police to believe that her real name was Miss Nellie Brod and that she came here from British Columbia, Sev- eral letters addressed to her in that name were found and they were evil dently from her kinspeople. The police say the woman told several of her friends a few days ago that she >intend- ed going back home. The letters were appeals to her to do so. Her effects were packed as though she had intend- ed soon to leave the apartment where she had livd with Miller. The authori- ties believe that it was in a quarrel over her going that she committed sut- eide or was shot.
