To pay the nauonaI debt and at

To pay the nauonal debt and at
the same time reduce the taxes were
Gallatin's chief aims and in order
to carry his policy to success he nat
uratly had to keep a close eve on the
expenditures of the government. He
dealt with a revenue of only $10,-
60O,O00-an absurdly small sum
in comparison with the present rev
enue of nearly a billion dollars. OF
his S1O,6OO,0O0 revenue Gallatin
proposed TO appropriate S7,3OU,J00
yearly to paying off the national
debt At this rate he calculated that
the interest and principal of the debt
amounting at that time to about
$50, 1000, 900, would be paid in full
in sixteen years.
The sum of $650,OOO of the ma
TONS total revenue came from the
internal revenue tax. This was an
anti-republican tax, and Galla,tin's
policy involved it's abandonment.
Iaklng out the receipts from the in
tefnai tax and the amount set aside
for debt payment, Gallatn had left
from his yearly revenue $2,65O,0O0
Tor the entire annual expenses of the
government. He allowed $93O,000
LOT the entire annual expenses of the
army and 100000 for the navy,
leaving about 100000 for the en-
tire civil list
In less than eleven years time.
while letting the internal taxes go.
and paying, unexpectedly, the full
purchase money Of SIS, 100000 for
Louisiana, Gallatin succeeded in re-
ducing the public debt from $4,000
coo to 100000.
Albert Gallatin was born in Swift
zerland, Jan. 20, 1861, and came to
the United States in 1880. His val
liable services to the country of his
adoption were not confined to his
twelve years in the treasury depart
ment. Prior to entering the cab
met he had served six years in Con
gress and after giving up the treas
ury portfolio he entered the diplo-
matte service. He was one OF the
peace negotiators at Client, in 1914,
and was ambassador to France and
England from 1915 to 1927. He
lived to be nearly eighty years old,
his death occurring at Astoria. L. L.,

Taylor, who has been under arrest
since Monday for an assault on his
wife, Mary Taylor, was given pre-
iiminary hearing before Judge
Brown Tuesday at 400 p. m.
The case furnished some peculiar
facts, it being brought out that the
defendant came over to Belle
Fourche from Deadwood to see his
wife and that his wife refused 10
visit with him. Taylor became in
Isistent and Mrs. Taylor finally con-
scented to take a walk with him. Ar
irving at the river bank, the defend
ant had the misfortune to catch his
foot in some brush, which, together
with large consignment OF wer
goods that had been stored away
previous to his call, resulted in
bad tumble for the couple. Mrs
Taylor's head struck the ice, and the
resulting pain was the reason action
was brought against her loving
spouse
He was charged with an assault,
with intent to do greatly bodily
harm, the intention, according 70
Mrs. Taylor being to drown them
both.
The defendant was lodged in the
bastile as a guest of Sheriff Cravens.
After the evidence was all present
ed at the hearing, the court decided
that it was not sufficient to warran,

and the defendant was discharged

THIS Bon MAY CLEAR
ELLOSSER MURDER MYSTERY

Cumberland. Md, Jan. rs Har-
Ian Ben Norris, eight years old, has
turned detective. He is the boy who
told the police of seeing two glasses
in the hands Of Grace CLOSER and
Charles e. Twigg. The boys story
was attacked from all sides, but he
stuck to his original statement.
The boy asserted that on the al
ternoon of Dec 81 he was sent by
his mother to buy cake of soap at
nearby store, and when he return
ed he saw Mrs. Ellosser, mother of
the girl, rush out screaming, follow
ed by Mrs. See, Miss Elosser's older
sister, who rushed away to call a
doctor. So much is corroborated by
the Elosser family, showing that the
|youngster was in the neighborhood
at the time.
The lad says he went up on the
porch and peered in. then stepped in
and saw the dead girl and the dead
man sitting on the lounge. Each he
declared had a glass, she a wine
glass and he a tumbler. On the
floor standing between them was a
bottle He said it looked like a
milk bottle, pint size. He declared
it was filled with liquid, and at
the bottom he saw a cluster of little
white pills.
The failure of the police to prove
his story true, led the boy to declare
that he is going to find the milk bot
tie with the cluster of pills.

RE HESCONERY OF OLD GOLD
NINE WITH REMAINS

Portland, Ore, Jan. % The
re-discovery of an old gold mine APP
parently not worked for 60 years,
with the remains of the original min
ers, lying at the entrance of the
workings, is reported from Wallo-
wa county. Skeletons of three
white men, with some of the bones
missing, having probably been car
red away by wild animals, were
found by John Moore. veteran trap
per of Wallowa district. Near the
skeletons was a mortar in which had
been hammered out free gold.
A bottle containing samples of
gold-bearing quartz, was also found
near the skeletons and close by was
a cave in the rocks where a vein
of rich quartz was found
The three skulls had been crushed
apparently by some blunt instrument
and it is the belief of those that
nave learned of the find that In
dams were responsible for the kill
ing which probably occurred over
half a century ago when the natives
resented the first intrusion OF the
white settlers.
A cradle for rocking out the pre-
.cious metal from pulyerized quartz
was found near the bank of a creek
near by, indicating that the old mine
was being worked Systematically and
would have undoubtedly made its
'discoyerers rich had they been al
lowed to remain in possession.
The cave with its golden treasure,
watched over by the skeletons Of
three unfortunate miners of the ear
~ days, will be mined by the discov-
erer, who has taken steps already to
extract the precious metal from the
old workings.

Gill's bill proposed the purchase of

Washington. 1t is set forth in the
measure that it is a painting pre-
scented by Washington to King Louis
XIV of France, given by that King to
Lafayette, and finally returned to
this country. 1t is owned by DR.. G.
Reuling, who is said to have proof
that Washington ordered the picture
printed as a gift to the King and to
have traced it through the hands Of
art collectors, after Lafayette's death
to Judge Tissot, of New Orleans. Dr.
Rouling obtained the portrait in the
Tissot estate.
Charles Henry Hart, of Philadel-

early portraits, is authority for the
statement that the original of Peale's
painting in the senate is in possession
OF Thos. Mexican, of Fernhill, Ger

which date the Senate picture bears

owns was sent to Europe and back
again in 1871, and was purchased
by Charles B. Calvert Of Maryland
