The last legislature of Pennsyl-
vania conceived the enterprising
scheme of placing a tax of q per
cent on all anthracite coal mined
in that state, and on the first of
July the new tax went into effect.
This will add about 10 cts to the
cost of every ton of anthracite
coal. Of course the coal dealers
will not stand the extra cost, SO an
advance in the price of coal is an
nounced. Undoubtedly every
middle man will now use this as a
pretext to add a little to the price
and by the time it reaches the
consumer this 10c tax can be made
the pretext for a raise of about ST.
in the price. As nearly all of the
anthrasite coal of the country is
mined in Pennsylvania this is q
shrewd scheme to make the rest Of
the country contribute to the tax
receipts of Pennsylvania. If it
works other states may be expect.
ed to put a tax on their exports,
and the cost of living will take
another lump. It ia such acts as
this that create q. sentiment in
favor Of common ownership Of
public utilities.

Costs Much to Run New York.

More money than old Father Knick-
erbocker ever dreamed there was in
the world was spent last year in rum
ming the city Of New York. 1t cost
more than half a billion dollars to
properly handle the village. The city
chamberlain's report shows that all
records for financial transactions in
the history of the city were broken
last year. The total receipts were $685.
1873, 1888. OF this 1883, ,557.39 was
from taxes and water rents, and $780,
43s,421.2s from saleA of corporate
stocks, revenue and as& &kssment bonds.
The city spent s552,751712.s3 during
1912, and it had cash balance of
$843.026.50 on January l, 1913. OF
the total amount spent the largest
sum was devoted to the redemption
-of revenue bonds, the total being
s$168, 585, ,952. The total of $40,194,737
was paid out in the interest on the
city debt and $73,5S1,950 for the re-
demption Of corporate stock.

The European powers are getting
tired of conditions in Mexico and
are appealing to the United States
to stop playing the dog in the
manger. The lives and property
of foreign citizens in Mexico are
being sacrificed. The Huerta
government is either powerless or
unwilling to furnish protection,
and the United States through its
Monroe doctrine stands in the way
of foreign Intervention. The
European powers therefore demand
that this country shall either inter-
yene itself or Withdraw its objec-
tion to other powers doing so. The
demand is not unreasonable, and
really it is somewhat humiliating
to Americans to see citizens of this
country insulted, their property
confscated and the only relief
given them by their home govern.
ment a kindly advise to get out OF
the country or protect themselves.

CARRIED A RUG FOR i MUFFl
But the Five-Foot Woifskin Attracted
No Especial Attention on the
Streets Of Boston.

q cldt
Miss Geraldine Bowman, student
at an eastern art school, recently
proved that women can wear any
thing and get away with it, Miss
Bowman did no more and no less
than to parade through the shopping
district with a fvesfooe fur fioor rug
rolled up into a huff and she failed
to excite attention. The girl accom-
pllshed the feat on q dare and won.
Some Of the students at the school
laid a wager that woman could not
carry q large floor rug through the
streets Of Boston and pass it Off for
one OF the huge muffs now in
vogue. Miss Bowman thought she
coald carry through such a stunt to a
successful elimination and even pro-
posed starting the parade during the
busy noon hour
So taking a fve-foot wolfskin rug
from the floor Of her home, she gave
it a whirl or two about her hands
and with the head of the animal in
full view, she carried it gracefully
and soon was moving about in the
throng Of busy shoppers. Trailed by
half dozen doubling classmates Miss
Bowman strolled unconcernedly
through the downtown district and
there was not the slightest indica-
ton that anyone mistrusted that the
beautiful skin which closely resembles
silver fox, was other than a genuine,
fashionably made muff.

Mrs. Fred Falkinburg and
daughters of Scotland have been in
Tyndall this week, visiting rela-
tives and taking in the Chautauqua.
Miss Mary Cooley, one of the
successful teachers of Bon Homme
county is in Salt Lake, Utah, at.
tending the National Educational
association which is in session
there. She will enjoy the western
scenery and places of interest fer
time before her return.
Tyndall's first Chautauqua is
meeting with good success.
Enough season tickets were sold
before opening day to make the
guarantee. While Chautauqua is
new thing for our city, you hear
remarks on every side that it is
one of the best summer entertain
ments that Tyndall has ever had.

Judge Elliott has entered a
judgment against Albert. Amund-
son, a banker at Lake Andes, for
$4,000. Itappears that Davis &
Son merchants of that town, re-
Gently became financially involved
and their Sioux City creditors were
about to institute bankruptcy pro-
ceedings. The firm was also ow-
ing Amundson a note of $4,000.
To secure himself Amundson sur
rendered the note and gave a deed
to lao acres of land and took a
bill of sale to the store and fixtures
invoiced at $4,000. The Sioux
City creditors of Davis & Son then
brought action against Amundson
for the value of the stock, claim
ing that the transfer was made for
the purpose Of defrauding the
creditors of Davis & Son, and the
court has granted the judgment.
Undera new state law that went
into effect July first, every pur-
chaser Of stock Of goods in bulk
must give notice to every creditor
of the firm at least seven days be-
fore the transfer is made. Failure
to do this would make the pur.
chaser liable for the debts Of the
firm.

Under the new fish law no per-

to catch, take, kill, or have in pos

fore he catches it, that's the limit.

EXHIBIT OF MODERN PRISONS
jects of Interest at Coming
International Exposition.

The modern science of prison man
agement is to be demonstrated by the
British board of trade at it's special
display, which will be feature of the
Client International exposition this
year.
Every side of prison life will be IL
lustrated, and there is to be a series
of life-size models of convicts engaged
on prison tasks, and exact replicas of
the cells for the various classes Of
prisoners.
A number of the models have been
specially made in prison. One is a
model of the old-fashioned convict
cells known as "iron cells" from the
fact that they were constructed of
corrugated iron. The last Of these
has recently been destroyed.
There will be an interesting display
of articles which have been manufac-
tured surreptitiously by convicts,
either for amusement or in the hope
of escape. Small models nodded out
Of bread and then colored with black
ing and whitewash are often made.
Skeleton keys carved from beef bones
to open the cell doors are among the
ingenious pieces of work which have
been found and will be included in the
display.
|. The last stage in the work Of the
prison authorities is the preventive
detention of habitual criminals, and
this will be shown by model, 12 feet
by feet, of the new prison at Camp
Hill, in the Isle of Wight, for this
class Of prisoner.

From the LesterYille Ledger.

Henry Serr of Scotland accom-
panied by E. E. Eisenmann, Julius
zastera and Theodore Czerney of
this place went to Sioux City Sun
day on the early morning train and
returned in a Krit automobile
which Mr.. Czerney purchased from
Mr.. Serr, who is agent at Scotland
for the Krit cars.
On last Saturday afternoon at
about 2 80 o'clock Mrs. Matthias
Kremer answered the summons of
death and quietly passed away.
She had been in poor health for
the past five years and seriously ill
for nine weeks prior to her death.
The cause of her death was per-
niclous anaemia, and all that
medical skill and loving hands
could do was done but the hand of
death could not be stayed.

The extra tax of $6 a year on
automobiles has resulted in a
movement for an organization OF
automobile owners as means of
self protection against unfair legis-
lation in the future. The farmers
are becoming the greatest pur-
chasers Of autos, and they claim
that the auto is not a luxury but a
necessity, and should not be the
victim of double taxation. Here.
after the candidate for the legisla-
ture will probably have to assure
his constituents that he is not
hostile to the auto.

The weather is too warm to get
very much wrought up over politics
and discussion of the most eco
nomical methods of manufacturing
ice would be more alluring topic.
Yet the call for a mass meeting of
republicans at Sioux Falls on the
25th inst seems to he stirring up
the politicians. II is not the pur-
pose to endorse any candidates,
but Senator Crawford seems to
think it would be advisable to just
toss his hat over into the ring just
to see what the boys would say.
