"The income of the Montgomery post ofiice for the caIander year 19o4." said Postmaster c. w. Buckley yes terday, was the largest of the eight years I have been in charge of the once and believe the heaviest in it's history"
 Then the Postmaster analysed his yearly statement which was completed yesterday morning. The statement shows that for eight years the sale of stamps at the Montgomery postofice has increased steadily with each year. The increase of sales in 1904, over 1903, was the greatest increase for one year during the time covered by the report.
 The sale of stamps at the postofice includes not only stamps but revenue from box rents and newspaper pound rates. The receipts from these sources for eight years were as fol- lows: 1898, $56,es0.41; 1899, $59,01s.53; 1900. 66,140.3s; 1901, $74,7as.02; 1902, s7s,15425; 1903. $s4.sso.15;, 1904. sIoo.- sa2.21.

NO RIGHT TO BURN CROPS.

Texas Law Which Prohibits Destruc-
 tiOn of Products of Farm.
 Dallas, Tex. Jan. 3.--It has been held by the courts that a free citizen of Texas has no right to burn or other wise destroy his own farm products Some years ago a farmer hauled into a Texas town a load of corn which he offered for sale, He was rendered so low a price for the grain that he de- liberately emptied the whole load into the river. He was convicted and fined for destroying a valuable product of the farm.
 The law reads in effect: If any per- son shall wilfully and mischievously injure or destroy any growing fruit, corn, grain or other like agricultural product. he shall be punished by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars
 This read In connection with amend ments and other laws on the subject takes away a Texans right to burn his own cotton.

DEFEAT FOR HARTMAN
DECISION IN UNITED STATES SEE.
 CURITIEs CASE.
United states Court of Appeals Re- verses q Decision of the Circuit Court of New Jersey--Judge
 Gray Dissents from His
 Colleagues Opinion.

Philadelphia, Jan. 3.-The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Judicial District in an opinion filed here today, reversed a decision of the New Jersey Circuit Court which restrained the Northern Securities Company from distributing certain stock Of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. The decision is defeat for the inter- ests represented by E.. H. Hartman. By a decree of the New. Jersey Court, the Northern Securities Company was re- strained from disposing of S7o,2so shares of the common stock of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, al- legged to have been received from E. H. Hartman and winslow 8. Pierce. and of 347,090 shares of the common stock of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com pany received by the Northern Securi- ties Company from the Northern Pacific Company
 Todays decision, however. gives the Northern Securities Company the right to dispose of the stock.
 Hartman and Pierce, when the Northern Securities Company had been declared by the United States Supreme Court to be an illegal combination, de- manded the return of the original stock they had contributed at the time of the organization of the combination. The Northern Securities Company, 1t was claimed intended to make pro rata distribution of the stock of the con tributing company.
 The opinion was written by Judge Dallas, After reviewing the org4niza- ton of the combination and it's subse- auent history. the decision says:
 Hartman averred that the shares of railway stock In question were &C., auired by the securities company; that it would hold them as custodian, depositor. trustee and owners of said shares, where the parties who origi- nally exchanged the same stock in the Northern Securities Company.
 The Northern Securities Company claimed that 1t acquired the stock by purchase and that 1t owns the stock outright"
 After quoting the resolution under which the stock was acquired, the opinion says the resolution compre- hended a purchase and not a trust and that the resolution was adopted at A meeting at which Hartman was present. The opinion continues:
 The Northern Securities Company Is the owner of 1,537.594 shares of the stock of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, which has been restrained from voting or receiving dividends, and In view of this restraint all par ties agree that it should not continue. The Northern Securities Company ac- cordingly proposed to assign them pro rata to its shareholders. including not less than 2.500 persons. whose shares are unquestionably acquired by pur- chase and who are not parties to this suit; and as such disposition of them would effect, ratable, and therefore equitable division of them amongst

 J. K. Jackson, Private Secretary
 The good feeling that inspired this tribute is admirable. Colonel Jones has proved to be both efficient and popular in the discharge of duties that are, to say the kindest of them. not poeticaL They make necessary firm and insistent demands for money due; yet a way of making the demands can be employed that will leave behind no bitter thoughts. The efficiency of this ohIcidi is shoWH py LHe Idct that the total increase in State valuations in 1904 was S16.4s0.s39. and of this amount $l4.075, ,609 or S7 per centum, is the result of the work done by the county tax commissioners. The increase in valuations for the four years past was $40,377.s9S.91; taxes on this amount collected or in process of collection. $272,325.25; to which add delinquent licenses collected, $11s.934; and we find that very nearly $4O0.0o0 additional money comes Into the State treasury largely by the operation of the tax commissioners office.
 The Register congratuktes Colonel Jones upon this demonstration; and upon his reappointment to the office for which he is peculiarly fftted."

 General Stoessel's reports of Dec. 2s and 29, painting the narrowing picture of the depleted and exhausted garri- son fighting on hopelessly were posted on the bulletin boards this afternoon and attracted enormous crowds whose grief at the fall of the fotress was swallowed up by admiration for the he- roic defenders. The war office and admiralty were soon besieged by grief stricken relatives and friends of those at Port Arthur eagerly asking for news, but the staffs were completely without details and could give none.
 The city Is perfectly quiet. the agi- tators finding that the people were in no mood for demonstrations against the government.
 It is presumed that the Emperor is already acquainted with the detailed terms of the surrender. 1t being assum- ed that Stoessel was allowed to commit nicate direct with his majesty, but the war office is still without information except such as Is contained in the To- kio despatches. The report that the officers will be allowed to return to Russia on parole and retain their swords Is in light of the generous terms expected to be accorded by a valiant foe to such a gallant enemy.
 At the foreign office while it was said that any proposals Japan might make would receive due consideration, the officers were unable to offer condi- tions which Russia could accept.
