JAMES M'MILLAN IS DEAD
Prominent Business Han Of Minneap-
oils Passes Away.

James Mcmillan, one of the most
prominent business men OF Minneap-
oils and head of the Mcmillan Fur
and Wool company, with headquar-
tiers in the Mill City and branches In
st. Louis, Mo-, and Winnipeg. Man,
is dead at Minneapolis. Mr.. MCMILLAN,
who was fifty-three years of age, had
been i'll for about six weeks.
In the summer of 1873 Mr.. Mcmillan
reached Minneapolis and entered the
employ of his uncle, Paris Gibson,
who then operated the North Star
woolen mills. Four years later, in
1877, he founded the firm of James
Mcmillan & Co. and in 1898 the bust
ness was incorporated as the McMtl-
Ian Fur and Wool company.
The name Mcmillan, through the
intervening years, has become widely
known the country over, particularly
in the Northwest, as the business,
from it's nature, reached not only to
Western cities and towns but into the
more remote parts of the newer North
west country in the United States
and in Canada. Mr. Mcmillan was
considered one of the most aggressive
men and leader in his line.

in Texas.

Dallas, Tex, March 25.-Twelve
known dead, property loss reaching
into the thousands of dollars and pos
sibly a score injured, is the result of

the death of eight persons. This sin
gle tragedy of the storm occurred
near Slidell. The farmhouse of Ira
Rice was crushed in by the furious
wind and the family of eight members
pinned beneath the Wreckage. The
ruins became ignited and famed by
the strong wind, the flames snuffed
out the lives of the helpless victims.
The towns of Sanger and Greenwood
were hit and number of houses were
moved from their foundations
Heavy sand storms were reported at
Dublin, Gainesville and other points
in that vicinity.

OCCUPIES ENTIRE SESSION
Chairman Payne Concludes Tariff
Speech in House.

Washington, March 24.-Occupying
Payne of New York, chairman of the
committee on ways and means, con-
cluded his speech in explanation of
the tariff bill. He was on his feet
almost all of the five hours and ten
minutes that, he had the floor. At
times he gave evidence of being great
ly fatigued and leaned on his desk,
hoping in that way to get little rest.
The majority leader began his
speech in no particularly good frame
of mind, but as the day wore on he
exhibited the best of humor. He
closed amid the plaudits Of the Repub-
1icans, who crowded about him and
extended their congratulations. His
arguments covered a wide field. He
took the position that the bill would
not injure the tin plate or steel file in
dustry of the United States and that
free hides would not be menace to
the farmers. He discussed the inheri-
lance tax at great length and said it
was preferable to an income tax be-
cause it would not give rise to perjury
or fraud He held to the view, also,
that an income tax was wholly uncon-
stitutional.
The minority leader, Mr.. Clark of
Missouri, followed, and had proceeded
but a minute or two when, at the sug
gestion of Mr.. Payne, he suspended
and the house adjourned.
