 It Had Killed Him. Augustus H. Garland, who was at torney general under President Cleve- IantL, was very fond of practical Jokes and during hls term of service In the semitic frequently turned the laugh on his colleagues. Senators Voorhees, and yest with whom hc was very friendly, finally determined to turn the tables. Mir.

They had seane tempting looking chocolate cara nels prepared. with the interior flied with brown soap. These they took to the senate chamber. and Voorhees, placed them on his desk. The lid being of, when Mr. Garland sanntered down the aisle be noticed them at once.

 Voorhees, looked up carelessly from his writing and responded: "CarameIs. Help yourself"
 Garland needed no second invitation and. picking up two or three. placed one In his mouth. Steadily he chewed away, his face betraying no sign of the conflict within him. This alarmed y9crhees, who went to Vests desk and said:
 "kse's eating them. Vest! What shail we do? The stuff will Kill him sures Senator Vest replied that it could do no more than make him sick. Garland swallowed the stuff. although he was foaming Ut the mouth from the soap studs. He related the incident after ward with great gusto and said he would have swallowed 1t if it had killed him.

rates from Eastern Arkansas points into Memphis have been reduced 20 to, 50 cents per bale, being practically based on mileage rates as shown in Arkansas local tariffs in effect fol- lowing the Federal courts injunction.
 The above reduction bears out the general understanding that the. Iron Mountain Railroad Conrpany's agree. ment with the Memphis Freight Bu- reau provides that Memphis is to have the same line of rates to and from Arkansas points as are carried in the Arkansas local tariffs.
 Through rates on cotton are pub lislhed for the first time from Pine Bluff and western stations to Eastern points, and show a net advance of 3 cents per hundred over the sums of the local rates in effect prior to the injunction secured '>y the Iron Moun- tain.
 The cotton crop of Arkansas this season is estimated at 10000 bales; 45 per cent of which is in the hands of the farmer, merchant or buyer at the compress stations

Another advance in rates OH the Iron Mountain Railroad will occur to- day. as shown in Supplement No 13 to Tariff 215, which names a rate on cotton from country points to com press stations and all points on the Iron Mountain and it's connections to New Orleans, Boston rate points, etc.
 The rate on cotton to New Orleans is advanced from 3 to cents per 100 from all points except competitive stations.
 The rate to Eastern and Boston rate points remains the same except from certain stations on the White River division, which have been ad- vanced 5 cents per hundred.
 The rate from Monticello to New Orleans has been reduced 1 cent and to Boston rate points cents per hundred, this being the AIcGehee rate, cotton congresses being located at both points However, the concentra- ton basis into Monticello has been advanced, which offsets the reduction except on cotton from Monticello proper.
 Some three years ago the rate was advanced z cents per hundred from Monticello to New Orleans and cot ton can now be shipped from New port to New Orleans for cents per hundred less than from McGehee or Monticello, although both of these points are 17o miles closer to New Orleans and shipments from. Newport for New Orleans pass through Me Gehee A- Fort Smith and Van Buran concen- tration arrangements as cotton from various local and competitive points can be concentrated al. these stations and the through rate is protected without the extra 3-cent penalty which is in effect at other compress stations on the Iron Mountain Rail- road in Arkansas.
 During the conference held here in October the cotton shippers complain ed to the Iron Mountain traffic off cials in regard to the discrimination whereby Fort Smith and Van Buren were permitted to concentrate cotton without extra cost, although at Little Rock and other points on the Iron Mountain 3 cents per hundred was 'added to the through rate.
 The rate on cotton to New Orleans will only apply via Alexandria, La, and eliminates the Memphis gateway in connection with the Illinois Gen. tral and it's immense New Orleans export terminals-Stuyyesant Docks.
 Concentration Rule Cancelled.
 This supplement cancels the pre- vious rule that cotton for concentra- tion must not pass compress as cot ton from Southern Arkansas points, also Louisiana, can pass the McGehee compress and come into Pine Bluff. and when re-shipped the through rate will be protected.
 It is interesting to note that the

Heads Of Trust Companies Of the
State Protest Against Law
Taxing Them
APPEAL T0STATEC0

The prayer that they be placed on
an equal footing with other corpora
tions with respect to taxation has been
made to the State Tax Commission by
the representatives of the eleven trust
companies of Wisconsin in public
hearing. The trust companies are
now taxed by a fee and license per
centage and otherwise, and they de-
mand more equitable system, more
uniform with the laws taxing other
corporations.
Ex-senator A. L. Kreutzer of Wau-
sau made general appearance for all
the trust companies. Howard Greene
Of Milwaukee, president and treasurer
Of the Fidelity Trust company Of that
city, also appeared, as did 0. G. Full
| Ter, president of the Wisconsin Trust
company of Milwaukee, Halle Stems
land and E, B. Steensland, officers Of
the Savings, Loan & Trust of Madison,
were present, also T.. S. Hanks, a
stakeholder Of the Central Wisconsin
Trust Of Madison, and J. K. Ilsley Of
Milwaukee.
The trust companies are now taxed
a $500 fee and per cent on their net
earnings, and, according to a recent
decision Of the Supreme Court, the
stock Of trust company IS taxable
as personal property. The trust com
panies think this is unjust and would
like to have the State Tax Commission
make an investigation of the matter
and recommend to. the next legislature
some more equitable system for the
taxation Of these companies. In gen
eral the trust companies propose that
they be placed on the same basis as
any ordinary corporation.

SELLING MANY STAMPS
Red Cross Stamps Going Rapidly in Ke-
n0sha But Sales Must Increase

Red Cross Stamps Going Rapidly in Ke-
nosha But Sales Must Increase
Kenosha is beginning to buy the Red
Cross Christmas stamps and it is ex-
pected that in the next three weeks the
good people of this city will purchase
no less than $4,000 of these stamps.
Hurd IS drug store is the distributing
center for the stamps, but they are to
be placed on sale in all of the leading
stores in the city. Madison has al
ready sold 100000 stamps and other
cities in a class with Kenosha promise
to do ever better than this. Tt should
be remembered that every cent realized
from the sale of the stamps is to be
turned into the great fund that is be-
ing raised by Wisconsin to stamp out
the White Plague. - The Wisconsin
Anti Tuberculosis Society has set the
mark for the sale at 1--WE million stamps
in a month, but the favorable recep-
tion of the stamps in all parts of the
state leads the men in charge to be-
Iieve that even q greater sale is posi-
ble Kenosha people are urged to re-
member the stamps when making their
purchases for Christmas The stamps
are of a very pretty design and they
will make the finishing touch for a
Christmas package. The leaders of the
movement have put out the stamps in
books similar to postage stamps and
these books are proving very popular
with the Christmas shoppers. It is
the intention of the local managers of
the crusade to have the sales of stamps
continued up to the opening of the
new year, but the greatest sale is ex-
pected for the next two weeks. There
is no danger of the supply running
short and every person in Kenosha is
urged to buy the stamps and put them
in circulation.
