Powder Poultice Explodes

ALBANY, September 12-Harold Schem-
erhorn had a bad fright in Chatham rail-
road station Tuesday.
He was wearing an old-fashioned poul-
tice on his left arm. among the ingredients
being gunpowder. A spark from a match
struck in close proximity ignited the pow
der.
The poultice exploded, setting fire to
Schemerhorn'S clothing, and burning his
sore arm badly. The poultce he is wearing
now would not even burn, much less ex-

PREPARING FOR EMERGENCIES

acquisitions of Col. Goethals, En-
gineer in.Charge of the Canal,
Favorably Regarded.

Taking time by the forelock and with a
view to being prepared for any emergency
which may develop Col. Goethals the en-
gineer-in-chief of the Panama canal has
made arrangements for storing in the re-
frigerating plant at Colon a large quantity
of meat supplies that may be drawn upon
as circumstances require. Under ordinary
conditions the supply is kept up to current
needs, with enough of a surplus to meet all
reasonable demands. The plant at Colon
has an immense capacity for storage pur-
poses, and in view of this fact Col. Cocktails
has suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of sending
to the sthmus !G0 quarters of beef which
Idea has met with the approval of the com
mission. and this will be scnt in a naval
refr Gerating ship, arrangements for which
already have been made. The transport
Will sail on September II for the isthmus,
but from what port is not known to the
officials here, the shipments of meat
are conducted through the offices of the
Panama Railroad Company and the steam
ers operated by it.
Large Shipments of Coal.
A large supply of coal also is to be sent
to the isthmus, Col. Goathals having noti-
fled the proper officials of his desire to
have additional shipments by the Goth in
slant. Prompt compliance with Col. Goeth-
ais acquisitions was temporarily delayed
because some question as to precedence in
connection with the loading of vessels with
coal for the navy at Newport News had
arisen, but the differences were finally adj
justed and arrangements made for dis
patching five coal-laden vessels to Colon.
Several of these already are on their way
to that place, and the remainder are to
follow very soon. Four were to be sent
from Newport News and one from Phla-
delphia. These shipments also are ar
ranged through the Panama Railroad Com
pany.
At the office Of the canal commission in
Washington the very emphatic statement
is made that there has been no shortage
either of meat supplies on the isthmus or
coal, resulting in any interruption of work
in the engineer department.

Thrilling Experience With Redskins

Thrilling Experience With Redskins
and a Remarkable Escape.
Hundreds of interesting and thrilling
incidents are told of life on the Santa
Fe trail in the early days. Recently
the Cleveland Plain Dealer contained
an article concerning driver on the
stage between LeavenwOrth and Dodge
City many years ago james Bash
ford Scott, who relates number Of
thrilling experiences. One OF the most
startling of Scott's experiences occur
red in March, 1852. This is the story
as he tells it:
II left Fort LeavenwOrth one morn
ing with Il party of ten men and sew
eral hundred dollars in the stage. The
horses were In excellent condition, and
we covered the first twenty miles from
the fort in less than two hours. We
we're making good across the plains
when rowing band Of COmanches
came into sight. knew that 1t meant
fight, and | prepared the occupants of
the stage for the encounter. They were
nearly all army officers, and, although
|. they realized that their lives were at
stake, not one of them showed the
slightest sign of fear. They calmly
loaded their revolvers and waited for
| the attack. | left my seat and took my
stand between the horses. The Indians
were about fifty in number, and we
knew that it probably meant death for
us all. Still we determined to sell our
| lives as dearly as possible, and we did
not fire until the band had closed in
upon u.s.
"At least eight Of the redskins fell
from their. horses at the first volley,
but they were too many for us, and one
by one the members of our party were
killed. received two bullets In the
feshy part of my arm, but kept on
| firing until was struck down from
behind. heard one of the officers say,
There goes ScOtty,' and remembered
no more.
"When | came to. I was on cot In
the hospital at Fort LeavenwOrth. The
doctor told me had six bullet wounds
and in addition had been scalped. 1t
seems that a detachment of soldiers
| had come upon the looted stage the day
| after the attack. The ten men We're
dead, seaIped, all of them, but by some
strange play of fate | was still alive.
| They hurried me to Fort LeavenwOrth.
where l was given the best medical
| care. and after several weeks my
wounds healed. So far as l know, !

scaIping knife."-Kansas City Journal.

DOUBLE TAXATION.

Nelson w. Evans of the Portsmouth
Board of Trade, in an address before
the Tax Commission Of Ohio, said:
Now what we want in this state is
freedom of tax administration. What we
need In Ohio is the repeal of the ad
valorem tax provisions of the constitu-
ton. We do not need anything in its
place, and would be better off with a
simple and absolute repeal.
We must get rid Of that old phrase,
Laws shall be passed taxing moneys,
credits, bonds, stock and investments in
joint stock companies. or otherwise; and
also all real and personal property ac-
cording to Its true value in money" That
Is the rule under which we can have no
reform in taxation. No matter what
other forms Of taxation, we have double
taxation and sometimes quadruple taxa
tion. 1t will be no trouble to repeal
Sec. 2 of Art. II Of the constitution II
both political parties agree to 1t. 1t has
been productive Of the most unjust and
unequal system OF taxation which ever
afflicted any people,. Today we are suf-
fering the curse of this organic law. We
can not compel the return of moneys;
the taxation of credits is unjust and
double taxation, and the taxation OF
stocks as such is double taxation.

MORTGAGE TAX.

New York has a mortgage recording
tax law which has increased the
revenue from mortgage taxation over
the old system by 800 per cent and re-
suited in a reduction of interest rates,
The principal virtue of the law ia
that its operation does not admit
fraud, since mortgage to be legal
must be recorded, and to be recorded,
must pay the tax. Small as the latter
is in proportion to the 2 or 2a per
cent formerly levied, it has increased
the revenue because formerly more
than 80 per cent of the mortgages es-
capped taxation altogether.
The New York Sun, reviewing the
operation Of the measure, reports that
"the new law warded off a serious
shortage of mortgage capital In this
town during the latter half Of last
year. 1t will no doubt react before
long on the rates of interest, bringing
them back to the normal level Of 4 per
cent and Az per cent. and perhaps
establish them eventually at so low q
rate as 31s to I per cent."-DubuQus

Cameras on the wing are dying
through Germany. A projectile to
take photographs and claimed to have
been successful at the height of half q
mile is the idea of Herr Marie, Ger
man photographer. A camera having
the form OF the usual kind OF copicai
shell is thrown into the air by means
OF kind OF trap. At a predetermined
angle, as the camera turns to make its
descent and is pointed slightly down
ward, the shutter Is automatically re-
leased and a picture is taken OF
broad expanse OF country. In still air
the flight and spot at which the aerial
camera will fall can be calculated with
much precision. Precautions are taken
to avoid damage by concussiOn, and the
results are expected to be of great pos
sible value in military operations
