OF Police Dunn that he murdered his
aunt Mrs. Ottilee Eherhardt, and wound

He killed the woman, stripped he: of

evidently had been inflicted only e few

$500 he is thought to have taken from
his aunt having disappeared

WANTS A TAX ON TEA.

One of the unexpected features OF the
tariff is strong effort being made by
some importers to have a tax levied
upon all tea imported. It Is expected
that the Tea Association of America
will get behind this movement, and do
it's utmost to influence Congress to put
a duty on tea. It is claimed that the
tea business has been utterly demoral-
lied by the wretched stuff sent into the
country, and that it would be for the
interests of the people and the public
health, as well as the National revenue,
If no tea should be admitted to this
country of less value than 20 cents
a pound.
Very much of the tea now sent into
the United States costs the importers
less than 10 cents pound. and it is
claimed to be fearfully adulterated. in
order to make money out of it at all.
With a tax of 10 cents pound import
ers would not bring in any of this poor
tea, and as the consumers get from 200
to 225 cups of tea from every pound,
the slight addition they would have
to pay on account OF the tax would not
be felt by them.
This complaint of the wretched char
acter of much of the tea imported is
not new, but has been made by the

cENsoRrNG THE kAIsER's BOOK.

The descentof tar German KAISER Is
as startling. ho not ANYTHING like SO
great in degree as that of the Russian
Car. Four. or Hse years ago Car
Nicholas was held up before the world
as the very ideal OF beneiicent auto
crat. He was extos3ed as far-seeing'
wide-reaching ruTeE of almost super
natural executives abilities. Suddenly
there came a spear thrust, before which
all his moral. and Intellectual greatness
collapsed lihesa punctured balloon, and
he was seen to be the most ordinary Oh
mortals, with quite a weak will. Two
months ago Kaiser Wilhelm was hg-
ure to frighten Europe. He was sup
posed to hold the mighty German Ma
ton in the hollow of his hand. as COM
plete1y as the Car WAS once supposed
to hold Russia and be table to hurl the
whole power of the army and navy In
any direction that the whim might take
him. Now the German people have
asserted themselves Enthusiastically that
they are not the subjects of a divine
right autocrat, but citizens of a great
Empire, of which the Emperor is mere
ly the head servant and chief execu-
tive. Strangest of all is the readiness
with which the Kaiser has accepted
reduction to this role. "a little month
ago, or e'er those shoes were DID," he
was shaking the hearts of the diplomats
Of Europe with his lightest frown; he
was imperious, absolute. mandatory in
everything, from the way a fiddle was
played in theatrical orchestra to the
Degradation of army officers, disgrace
of artists, fine and Imprisonment for
civilians would follow his disapproval,
and great war come If his foreign
policy was affected. No German dare
speak above his breath in criticism for
fear of the pains and penalties for lese
majestic. All this has changed in the
twinkling of an eye. Germans are
speaking their minds about the Kaiser
as freely as the Americans have ever
done about the President or the Eng
lish about their King.
Inc tElnS gets TO De aDSOlutely IuHny
with the latest proposition to censor q
book which the Kaiser has written CIV
ing personal history of his 20 years
of reign. The book now contains about
500 pages, but when the censor's blue
| pencil finishes it will be reduced II
about half that size. Page after page ol
the Kaiser's praise of his own wisdom
courage and unselfishness will be cut

Kaiser has not liked. Neither th'
Americans nor the English have gone
to the length of censoring President
or Kings book, but this seems neces
sary in Germany. for fear Of diplomatic
complications. in the freedom and acer.

IL ex-senator Fulton, of Washington,
has not made a very strong case in
favor Of upsetting the decision OF the
people of his State as TO e Senator.
Fulton was a candidate before the Re-
publican primaries for reelection, but
was defeated by Henry NJ. Cake. Cake
then went before the people as the
Republican nominee, with Gov. George
Chamberlain as the Democratic candi-
date. The people. while giving Taft an
overwhelming majority, expressed them
selves quite as strongly In favor OF
Chamberlain for Senator. Now Fulton
is trying to overset this decision. He
says that II Is evident that people who
voted so strongly for Taft do not want
to be represented by a Democratic Sem
ator, which is begging the question TO
say the least. Fulton claims that the
Democrats masqueraded as Republicans
in the primaries in order to defeat him
and nominate Cake, who was much
weaker man." and therefore easier for
Chamberlain to defeat Again, Mr..
Fulton is asking US to take great deal
on his mere say so. Mr.. Fulton Is In
Washington trying to get the support
of the Administration, but not meeting
with marked success.

DEATH OF ADMIRAL CoucHLAN.

A typical American sailor has passed
away in the death of Rear-Admiral
Jos. B. Coughlan, who died suddenly at
New Rochelle. N. Y. Dec. 5. He was
generally considered an Indianian, but
he was born Dec. Q, 1874, at Frankfort,
KY, and graduated from the Naval
Academy in 1858. He entered active
service Immediately and during the last
two years OF the war was on the sloop
Sacramento. The opening of the Span
ish War found him commanding the
Raleigh, one Of Commodore Dewey's
ships, and he had a full share of the
glories of the battle of Manila Bay
Like his brother officers, he was strong
ly indignant at the intermeddiing of the
German fleet, and a humorous poem
'Hoch der KAISER" which he wrote and
recited, met with unbounded applause
made him famous and gave a strain TO
the relations between the United States
and Germany. Coughlan was one OF
the men to whom the honor of the
American Flag could be always safely
intrusted in any emergency.
