Lack of Apples in Northwest
 Arkansas Reduces Receipts.

The annual report of eoliee- tions in the office of the internal revenue collector, which las not yet been entirely completed, will show collections of about Sse, ,o0o during the fiscal year ending June So.. his is decrease of about S1b, 900 from last year. the receipts for the year ending June 30, 1908, having been bout S105, = GOO.
 The decrease ID collections dur ing the past year Is aseribed largely to the falling off in the tax on the manufacture of dis titled spirits. There was an iu- crease over the past year III the receipts from the tax on retail liquor dealers. Ten or twelve years ago there were as many as 50 or % distllleries in the state, while now there are not more than d dozen.
 A large part of the decrease in collections during the past year Is aseribed to the failure of the apple crop last year in north west Arkansas. One of the larg- est fruit distilleries in the world IS located at Bentonville and the product of this distillery general ly amounts to about 10000 gal Ions. As the tax on apple brandy, which IS produced by this distil- lery, IS S1.10 per gallon, the re- eeipts from this distillery III a normal year are close to $50, GOO. On account of the failure of the apple crop last year the output of this dlstillery was correspond ingly reduced and there was lit- tie revenue for the federal gov ernment from that source. -L. K.

RAILROADS MUST
 INCREASE THEIR BONDS.
Order to That Effect is Issued by
 Judge Trieber.

Little Rock, Ark, June 2t.- Judge Trleber today issued two important orders III the ceiebrat ed railroad rate cases, requested by the Arkansas railroad eonl- mission. T lie first was to in- crease the bond required of the roads to cover the possible differ ence in freight and passenger charges for the period pending the final disposition Of the in- junction suit. The bond of each railroad has been 520O, 900. this being the bond set by Judge Nandeventer, of St. Paul, when the injunction was given the railroads.
 The increase III bond secured III the case of the Iron Mountain was ssoo.o0o, making its total bond now Si, ,o00, ,00o. The in- crease in the bond required of the Cotton Belt was $500, GOO, making its total bond $500, GOO.
 The second point gained by the commissions counsel was an order from lle-eoart= requiring tie Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt to give passengers aud ship pers receipts covering the differ enee between the old and the neW rates on passenger ticket or ship ment of goods. In the original hearing at St. Paul this was not doEe.
 No increase has been asked in the case of the bond of the Frisco, the Rock Island or the Kansas City Southern, tor the reason that the first two lines have ac- cepted the proposition to suspend litigation for q year, and their bonds are thus not binding, unless It should be found advisable at the end of that time to revive tile litigation.
 In addition to the above. Judge Trieber issued q formal order rel ative to the manner in which the deposltions i'll the suit against the Iron Mountain and the Cot ton Belt are to be taken before special master, Judge P. C. Dool- ey, and requiring all books. rec ords, etc, of tile said railroads to be open to the commission and their eounsed for their inspection and for the general purpose Of taking testimony during the six months time set apart for talk ing the deposittons beginning Oct. 1.
