The members OF Company C. Fourth
United States Volunteer Immunes. the
majority OF whom were from Wheel
ing and the surrounding towns, spent
Christmas. years ago. in the
town OF Manzanillo. Province of San
tiago. Cuba. BY consulting n diary
that was kept by the writer during his
brief period as a trooper OF Uncle sam.

there was nothing whatever OF impor.

Day. 1898. a party of Wheeling lads.
including the writer. %journeyed TO the
Nara River. a stream about three miles
from the town. and there enjoyed a
plunge In the refreshing waters of the
stream, the day being unusually warm.
II might be remarked that near the
scene of the swim a few days later
some of the boys killed a crocodile
that was some beast, believe me.
On the day in question I note that
we a something extra for dinner:
just what this extra was l am unable
at this time TO state: probably we
had more than the usual ration of
"spuds' with their jackets on or per
haps more than two slices of punk"
II Is likewise noted that the cruiser
Mayhower came into the harbor in the
afternoon and that large numbers OF
the Whitehead 'jackies' came ashore

Christmas was on Sunday and the
a following was recognized as an
official holiday with the result that
with the exception of the regular guar
mount there was no duty. and The men
enjoyed themselves pretty much az
they pleased.
Another feature of our Christmas
Day was the coming of the usual pack.
z OF twenty-five copies of the Intel.

every day by the publishers of the
paper. That package OF the InteIIi.
gencer was a daily event OF the great.

CUT DOWN REVENUE.
Senate Bill Would Relieve Dividend
less Corporations from Taxes.

A harmless appearing senate bill.
No. $40. which made its appearance in
the rush Thursday provides for the
suspension OF the provisions of the
state corporation tax law in regard to
all such corporations as may not be
paying dividends to their stockhold-
ers. The bill was introduced by Mil
ton of Wyandotte.
While the bill has the apparent OBJ
ject of encouraging the struggling
young corporation while it is going
through the initial stages of it's devel-
Opment so that it can get on it's feet
before it begins to pay profits, it in
reality means good thing for a num-
Der of the biggest companies OF the
state which are owned by holding
companies which absorb their entire
earnings through bonded indebted
ness.
The bill exempts from the corpor-
alton tax all the corporations which
do not make visible profit for stock
holders.

SLAIN As THEY SLEEP


Buffalo, Feb 5.-The bodies of Mrs.
Lizzie Drake. IS years old, Mrs. Irene
Spencer. So. and her daughter, Ger
trude Spencer, IL, were found in their
beds at their home at Salamanca to-
day. Their heads had been crushed
in with a sledge hammer.
The hammer, smeared with blood
and hair, was found on the floor in
one of the rooms. Boys passing the
Drake homestead found the rear door
open and made the discovery. The
bodies were in separte rooms and
there was no evidence of a struggle.
Apparently the victims had been slain
as they slept. Physicians who ex-
amined the bodies said that the muir
der had been committed three or four
days ago.
Mrs. Drake was Mrs. Spencer's
mother

DEATH WON OUT.
John Briggs, Accused of Insan.

North Topeka Fire Case Closed
Grimly ut Hospital.


John Briggs will never be tried be-
fore Judge Hugh Mcfarland for in
salty, neither will he ever face trial
in the court of Topeka on a charge
of attempting to burn down the house
Of b. F. Stephenson Of North Topeka:
John Briggs died at q local hospital
at 10 o'clock this morning a sa result
of gunshot wounds which he received
at the time OF the alleged attempt to
burn StepLenson's house.
The alleged attempt to destroy
StephensOn's house occurred several
weeks ago. Stephenson shot Briggs
in the head with a shotgun. Accord
ing to physicians who attended Briggs
a part of the injured mans brain was
removed.
On the morning following the trou-
BILE Stephenson appeared in the court
of Topeka and swOre out a complaint
against Briggs and his son, John
Briggs, jr. Recently a relative of
Briggs filed an insanity petition
against the injured man in the Shaw
nee county probate court.

It was noted that the proclamation il

pressed grave concern over the inn

Officials did not view the German
proclamation as a threat to destroy
neutral ships If found in the war
zone. but as a warning that all ships
entered there at their own risk. The
statement in the German proclama-

ICE COMING DOWN.
Huge Bcrgs Are Sweeping Southwark
From Greenland.

st. John. Feb. 5.-Ice is now COM
ing down from Greenland waters in
great quantities, covering the Grand
Banks and sweeping southwark to-
ward the transatlantic shipping
track.
Steamers arriving from British
ports report icebergs ard foes extend
ing nearly 200 miles from the east
coast of Newfoundland. Vessels will
have more difficulty than usual in
avoiding ice during the remainder of
the winter and spring because the
taking over of the wireless stations
for exclusive military and naval pur-
poses will make it impossible to send
out the customary warnings.
The freight and most of the bunker
coal of the coastal steamer Prospero
were thrown overheard before she
could be floated from a submerged
ledge upon which she had been forced
by a great ice foe off the north coast
of Newfoundland last week. Barely
enough coal was left to carry the
steamer to the nearest port where she
got a new supply.
