City attorney called the attention of
the council to taxes owed by the Wells,
Fargo Express company and submitted
correspondence between himself and
representatives of the Wells, Fargo Ex-
press company, relative to the question
and terms upon which they are willing
to settle the taxes.
| Alter much discussion, in which the
mayor and all of the aldermen took part.
the council was of the opinion that the
Wells, Fargo Express company should
pay their taxes as well as any other cor
poration or citizen doing business in the
city, and that if they could evade their
taxes there was no reason why other
firms and citizens should pay taxes.
And on motion of Aid. Bass, seconded
by Aid. Mckay and Maloney, the city
attorney was instructed by council with
out dissenting vote to notify Wells,
Fargo Express company that they were
expected to pay their taxes, and if not

OF commerce for contribution of $500 to
be used for the purpose of advertising
the industries of the city and county
taken up. In order to properly bring
the matter before the council Aid.
Richards moved and Aid. Some second
ed that the council appropriate $500 to
the chamber of commerce for the pur-
poses named. All of the aldermen took
an active part in the discussion which
followed and all expressed themselves
as very favorable to the question, but
thought that a request of that kind
should be accompanied by a petition
bearing the names of number of the
largest taxpayers in the city, as the
council did not care to make appropria-
tions unless the taxpayers were willing
to assume some of the responsibility,
and file petition to be kept in the Of
fee and become part of the records.

ion the motion to appropriate $500 to
chamber of commerce was laid on the
table and the city clerk was instructed
to notify the president of the chamber
of commerce of their action and that
eoaacil was willing at any time to meet

The " immoral" Circus.

The tenting season is upon Us, and the elephant, the tiger, and the rhinoceros may be expected to arrive any day. And this causes the editor of an exchange to dash off the following After con- sidering the matter all winter we come to the conclusion every spring that the circus is immoral but then the bill poster comes along with the big pictures and our mind changes. As we gaze at the lions, tigers and monkeys, and think that nature made all of them, we are not sure. And when we look at the beauti- full young lady, and think that nature made her too, just as she is, we begin to lean up to the circus. But when tho brass band begins to play, and the ele- phants go around, we rush for frons seat to get ahead of the minister"

He Is Insane, Says Judge, but Wife
 Will Stand by Him.

He Is Insane, Says Judge, but Wife
 Will Stand by Him.
 New York, May 27.-Coincident with Justice Morschauser's decision that Harry K. Thaw is still insane and that it would be a menace to the commu- nity to give him his liberty it became known that Thaw and his wife, Eve lyn Nesbit Thaw, have become recon cfled. So far have the peace negotia- tions progressed that Evelyn has con- sented to drop the action, which she began last March, to have their mar. riage annulled on the ground of the prisoners insanity.
 The discontinuance of the annulment action has left young Mrs. Thaw in the position of being the wife of an insane man, and as such it is under stood that she will immediately make application to have herself appointed a committee of his person and property. In support of her application she will have the decision of Justice Morschau. ser that her husband is still insane and the testimony of the experts called at her husbands trial that he was insane on the day he made his will, which was the day of his marriage.
 It was learned that District Attorney Jerome will exhaust every resource at his command to prevent Thaw from being returned to any other institution than Matteawan. 1t is said that he will not listen to the proposition of Thaw being sent to Poughkeepsie, as it is from fhaf institution nf ha experts who testified in Thaw's behalf came. af
 MT. Graham announced that the pro- posed appeal from Judge Morschau- ser's decision declaring Thaw still in- sane would be based on the question of the validity of Judge Dowling's com mitment, sending Thaw to Mattea- wan.
 An appeal cannot be argued before fall, so there appears to be no doubt whatever that Thaw will continue un- der strict restraint during the summer at least. .. ...
 Judge Morschauser's opinion follow ing the long hearing held before him, at which Thaw sought his release on the ground that he is now sane, is ex- tended, but in substance he finds that Thaw is still afflicted with a mental taint, that 1t would be dangerous to the community to release him at the present time, that he must be held in the states care until there is absolute ly no doubt of his complete recovery and that, on the other ground of his contention in the application for writ of habeas corpus, the commitment to Matteawan after his acquittal was con. stitutional

Former Farmland Says Woman Spoke
 of Buried "Favorite Horse"
 Laporte, Ind, May 27.-As a result of a statement made to the authorities by Harold Chapman, a former em. ployee of Mrs. Belle Guinness, men m der the direction of Sheriff SmutzeI began searching for bodies in a hither. to unsuspected place.
 Chapman says that he was instructed one day by Mrs. Guinness to build a wire fence around certain part of the back yard. Mrs. Gunness superintend ed the work and watched every move very carefully.
 At a certain point she wanted Chap man to make a crook in the fence There was considerable argument over the matter, Chapman said, but finally he yielded and made the bend around the place where Mrs. Guinness said she had "faYorite horse" buried.
 In returning seven true bills against Ray Lamphere the Laporte county grand jury also indicted Mrs. Belle Guinness for the murder of Andrew HelgeIein of Mansfield, S. D. No war rant was issued for Mrs. Guinness, as she was declared officially dead by the verdict of Coroner Mack, but in order to vote a true bill against Lamphere as an accessory in the killing of Helge- lein it was necessary to fndict Mrs. Guinness as the principal.

 Fight at Harrisburg.

Fight at Harrisburg.
 Harrisburg, Pa, May N.-After one of the hardest fights within the party in several years the Democratic state convention here decided not to instruct its delegates at large to the Denver convention for Bryan. 1t was a vic. tory for the Democratic state organiza- tion headed by Colonel James M. Cuff fey of Pittsburg, the Pennsylvania member of the national committee. Colonel Guffey maintained all along that he and his friends would control the convention, but their claims were always disputed by the leaders of the faction who were in favor of issuing binding instructions for William Bryan.
 Aside from the defeat of the Bryan ites, probably the most important hap pening of the convention was the drop ping by the Democratic organization of former State Treasurer William H. Berry of Delaware county.
 There were several names presented to the convention for delegates at large, among them MT. Berry's, and he received the smallest number of votes. The delegates at large chosen by the Guffey people are Colonel Cuff fey, State Senators J. K. F. Hall of Elk county and A. G. DeWalt of Le high county and John G. Harman of Columbia county.
