Howl Is Expected.

A howl will go up from interests to
be taxed, but is declared that it will be
better for congress to meet this .oppo-
sition and overcome it, than to permit
treasury conditions to grow worse.
mand for tariff revision, but for the
present it is doubtful if revision can be
accomplished. Tariff revision seems
vastly more difficult than the railroad
question. Meanwhile, something must
be done to protect the treasury, and in
ternal revenue taxes are suggested. by

This is, perhaps, the most important

Internal Revenue Situation.

The standpatters are still firm in their
belief that the Dingley schedules should
not be touched, and they are endeavor-
ing to focus attention on the internal
revenue situation.
Unwelcome as the suggestion may be,
there is ground for belief that congress-
will ultimately decide that the federal
finances must be strengthened by re-
imposing part of the internal revenue
taxes which came with the Spanish war,
and which were, it is held, rather I'M
thinkingly removed after the war had
closed.
About $25,ooo,ooo a year was col
lected thru the war tax on beer, $780,
100000 on tobacco, $780, 900 on bank
ers, $4O,O00,OOO on documents and
Sc, 100000 on proprietary articles.
1t is argued that there is room here
for a reimposition of taxes, not as high
as those called for by the war, but suf.
ficiently high for all government needs
and that the burden need not fall upon
the consumer. It did not fall upor
| him in the tax on beer, tobacco anc
| proprietary remedies, altho he felt il
in the tax on bank checks and lega
documents. These last, it is asserted
might be omitted from the new lis1
and the tax confined to those articles
whose retail price would not be affected

BASKET BALL.
NORMAL WINS

The basket ball game between
the Grand Rapids High school and
Stevens Point Normal at Stevens
Point last Friday evening resulted in
a victory for the Normal. The score
- to Il, however. does not present
tie real eXciJment of the contest.
The first half ended 10 to Ii, and the
first fifteen minutes of the second
half showed the score 20 to q in favor
of the Normal. Then one of those
ineXplainable Streaks Of good fortune
entered into the NOrmalS' playing,
and it seemed that no matter at what
angle, or from what spot the ball was
thrown for the basket, score was
made, thus permitting of several
sensational plays. Notwithstanding
this, the Grand Rapids boys played a
good game, and special mention is
due to Loeffelbein in the way he
handled his position. Nimtz scored
the most points for Grand Rapids,
and Helm for the NOrmalS. When
the NOrmalS play the return game
here a fast contest is anticipated.
Mr.. Turner, Of the High school
accompanied the team.

INDIANS REVERE CEMETERY
Wyandottes Want to Retain Burying
Ground in Kansas City,
Kansas

''It is contrary to the wishes of most
of the members of the Wyandotte tribe
of Indians now living in Wyandotte
county," said a member of the tribe re-
Gently, "that the decision to recommend
a bill to congress providing for the sale
Of the cemetery and the removal of the
bodies has been made. If it had been left
to us here, as a matter of sentiment more
than anything else, we would have Vot-
ed by all means to have retained it as
cemetery. The majority of the tribe,
however, live away from here, most of
them in the territory, and since the ma
jority have votsd for the disposal of the
ground, it has been agreed upon. At the
meeting of the business committee of
the tribe held on November 20, in Indian
territory, there was not full member
ship present, but of those present all but
one voted for the recommendation that
the land be sold"
The cemetery, says the Kansas City
Journal, comprises two acres Of ground
in the center of Kansas City, Kan. At a
meeting of the Wyandottes residing in
the county it was decided on Saturday
that the bill providing for the sale of the
cemetery be recommended to congress
and it will be sent to Congressman Bow
ersock with a request that speedy action
be taken. The bill will have to pass both
houses of congress, granting to a COM
mission power to negotiate the sale. 1t
is estimated that the land is worth $50
900. Of this it is expected that $4,000
will be appropriated for the removal of
the bodies and the remainder divided
among the members of the tribe.
The cemetery has been held in trust by
the government under a treaty made
with the Indians and has been used as
burying ground for 60 years. Being the
first cemetery in Kansas City, Kan,
large number of white persons are bur-
led there also. The Indians will have to
bear the expense of removing these bod
les also, as it would be impossible to dis
tinguish the graves.

DOCTORS TWO OFFICES.
One for Wealthy Patrons, the Other
for Those Not So Well
Fixed

why can't you come to see me any
more?" asked a physician with an Of
fee in aahionable street just off Fifth
avenue of a patient, relates the New
York Press.
ITO be frank, DOCTOR was the reply,
II cannot afford it. Il am a salaried
man. When 1 came to see you as spe-
cialist I believed it would be only for a
short time. But, as you say, my case is
an obstinate one. have already far ex-
ceeded the amount l calculated to pay
You have been very kind about arrears,
but don't wish it to continue further.
The money must be paid some time, you
know" the patient added, with an at
tempt at cheerfulness.
The physician pondered for moment.
Then he said:
Mr.. Blank, | am glad you have been
frank. I shall be equally frank with you.
| will intrust you with secret. am in
terested in your case for professional
reasons. Go to this place" handing over
q card with an address far downtown
on the West side, between four and six
o'clock in the afternoon and will see
you there. But l must ask you not to
go except between the hours named. My
fee there will be just one-third what it is
here, and you can take your time about
paying it,
"A great many doctors do that" said
a New York physician who is so rich
that he need not practice at all I'M
less he wishes. Il did it myself once. If
a doctor aspires to fashionable practice
he must live in fashionable neighbor-
hood, among other fashionable doctors,
where there are always plenty of car
riages lined up on the street.
Frequently when a man moves into
house, or even an apartment, costing
anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000 year his
practice will not pay his rent and living
expenses Of course he must keep up ap-
pearances in his uptown Office. Down.
town he may do as he pleases. Uptown he
is, for instance, DR.. Cavendish Jones, Of
flee hours from until II a. m. and Z until
8 p. m. Downtown he is Dr. Jones, Office
hours to s p. m.
Frequently in cases of this kind an
other physicians plate is on the down
town window, giving his hours as to
p. m. In this way DR.. Cavendish Jones is
easily able to meet the deficiency in his
uptown house expenses. He makes his
calls, of course, between II and 4, and
drives home to luncheon in his
brougham. The man who pays his 81
a visit to DR.. Jones in Greenwich village
never dreams that he is receiving the
services of the distinguished DR.. Cav
endlsh Jones, whom he may have heard
Of as specialist in his particular trouble,
but whose fees were prohibitory to him"

From the daily papers we learn of
the sudden death of Geo. French.
conductor on the Wisconsin Central
Railroad, with his headquarters at
MarShfield. His run consisted of two

that was the cause of his death. He
passed away at the Blodgett House

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
lnfiamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it Is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infsmcd condition of
the mucous surfaces.
