HELD Up, TIED and
LEFT ON Rail BED
Clifford Milton, Ackley, Has Terrible
Experience With Thieves.

Ackley, Jan. 10.-Two highway
men held up and robbed Clifford
Milton of Ackley Thursday evening
on the Illinois Central railway track
about a mile east of Ackley, and, at
ter binding his legs and arms with
a cartridge belt and strap, left
him lying on the track.
He managed to roll off the right
of way and tried to work his way to
the nearest cross roads, but finding
progress almost impossible, lay there
for an hour until his cries were
heard by passing farm hand, who
released him.
Milton had been hunting. He was
returning to Ackley along the
tracks. About mile east of town
he stopped to light his pipe and laid
his loaded shotgun across the rails
during the process. Two men step
ned out from beneath culvert and
inquired If he could tell them how
soon they could catch a freight at
Ackley. He said he did not know
and the next minute was looking in
TO the muzzle of a magazine gun.
The smaller of the two men went
through his clothes. They relieved
him Of gold watch and chain, a
hunting knife and a silver dollar.
The smaller man then unbuckled
a strap with which Milton had q

CHEAP BEEF FORESEEN.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-The recent
sharp decline in corn prices here
went penny further yesterday, due
to imports since the removal Of the
tariff duty from the cereal, accen-
tuated by decline in the Buenos
Ayres market. Argentine corn in
New York is at present selling to
5 cents under the price at which
Chicago shipments can be sold in
that market, according to James A.
Patten, who for many years has been
recognized as the foremost corn deal
er in the American market.
Mr.. Patten said that in due course
of time he looked for the appearance
Of foreign corn in western markets
and predicted that in two or three
years the cheaper feed would in
crease production of beef.

1mportations Due to Increase With

THIRTEEN SHIPS NOW ENR0UTE

New York, Jan. 9.-Nearly 800.
600 bushels of Argentine corn were
being unloaded at this port yester-
day and millions more from the
South American republic were un-
der contract. The importations are
the direct result of the removal of
the duty on the staple under the
recent tariff act.
More than 100000 bushels have
been received in the United States
since the tariff went into effect. the
first from the Argentine ever
brought here and already the COM
petition with American corn has
forced a decline in cash values.
Thirteen ships are either enroute
here or unloading with corn from
the Argentine, and one American
manufacturing concern, which uses
corn in the manufacture of syrups
and kindred products has 100000
bushels from that country under con-
tract for delivery.
When the new Argentine corn
crop is harvested the importations
will increase, according to trade au-
thorities. The corn already here
found the railroads unprepared to
handle it and the port without ade-
quate docking facilities. Arrange
ments to remedy the deficiencies are
being made by the transportation
bureau of the produce exchange.
The fact that hitherto practically
no corn has ever moved west has
also confronted the railroads with
new rate problem, as there is a
movement on foot among the import
ers to have the present nominal rate
for western shipment reduced.

Question Of What is
a Gentleman is Up
to British Courts

LIVERPOOL, May So.--An inquiry is be-
ing conducted here TO determine the defi-
milton OF a gentleman as contemplated by
the workIngmen's insurance act.
According to the reading of the act, any
one who earns more than $500 yearly and
does no manual labor Is a gentleman.
This definition, simple enough on it's face,
has caused infinite dispute In shipping
circles, and the Liverpool Steamship own
ers' association is trying to solve the
question by the present inquiry. but It is
likely that whatever the decision an ap-
peal viii be carried to the chancellor Of
the excheauer.
a prominent labor union official de-
clares that the definition creates undesir-
able class distinctions in the mercantile
marine. Under the existing ruling on big
ships the captain. mate, second officer
and everyone in the engineering room
down 20 the sixth assistant are gentle
men under the act, but the line must be
drawn at the seventh engineer The
steamship owners arc claiming that the
amount of food and lodging allotted 70
their officers must count in determining
their status under the act. On smaller
ships the question is more acute, for only
manual workers are receiving benefits,
so. no matter how low their stipend, the
officers who do not work with their hands
do not profit by the act. Therefore the

countries for some OF HE ideas. His taxa

now in vogue in British Columbia, while
he has gone to the American income tax
law for the idea of making money ac-
cruing to British subjects from invest

In recent years the British capitalists
have made immense investments in for

these investments was brought home 20

But when the income was re-invested
abroad, the old law did not touch H.
Now Lloyd George says all income Of
British subjects resident In the United
Kingdom must contribute 10 the imperial
revenue. These foreign investments are
estimated at over $4,000 900, and from
this the chancellor hopes to secure g -
10000 this year and double that amoun,
next year. The total increase of revenue
from income tax duties this year viii
amount 10 something like 100000.
Percentage of Tax Lower.
In spite Of these increases, Sir George
Paish. editor OF the statist, says the buV-
den OF taxation In much smaller than it
has been in modern history. In 1850.
when the expenditure came to S4is, ,OOo.O .OOo.

S,oOo,O0O00. Now the national income

land can bear still greater increases IN
