CIRCUIT COURT.

Civil Causes. - Gregg vs. Ellis et al. John W. Tilton files cross-complaint, and demurrer sustaified to same. Tilton files amended cross-complaint, making new parties and publication notice ordered returnable first day February term, 1915. This is an action by Gregg to foreclose a mortgage on 80 acres of land in Kankakee township,on which land Tilton ‘holds a tax deed. AH defendants except Tilton were defaulted and Tilton files his cross-complaint to quiet hi's title. The question involved will be whether or not, the tax deed conveyed title. If it did the are void and Tilton will get the land. If the deed does not convey title, then in that case Tilton will have a lien for amount paid and all subsequent taxes paid by him. Moses Leopold represents the plaintiff and Chapman & Blue the cross-plaintiff. Levi A. Hopkins vs. Caleb and Nehemiah Hopkins. Tried before a jury and verdict returned for defendants. This was an action to recover a balance claimed by plaintiff for the care of the father of the parties, the plaintiff claiming that the defendants agreed to pay him their proportionate part of such expense. While there was evidence that defendants said they would do what was right, there was a lack of (positive testimony to establish an agreement, although there may have been a moral obligation on their ‘part to pay, yet such moral obligation would not have legal effect of contract. G. A. Williams for defendants and J. A. Dunlap for plaintiff.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

MR SLICKSMITH BEETS A FROST.

Only Person Who Would Fall for Hl* Game was Busy. ~ “Now, my dear sir," earnestly began the suave stranger, with • the uptilted cigar and unauthenticated diamond, “these handsomely engraved bonds of the Consolidated Mexican Milkweed Ruber Compapy, which are positively guaranteed to return a 69 per cent semi-annual dividend, and "I don’t'really s’pose you can do much dealing in ’em around here, Mr. Slicksmith,” frankly Interrupted the landlbrd of the tavern at Skeedee Corners. “You see, the only man In the community who might otherwise take an interest In your glittering proposition has been for some time engaged In the payment of an election bet wherein he was solemnly sworn to roll a peanut eight miles by means of a toothpir’c, which, speaking in round members, will be likely to keep him busy till along about the latter past of next May that he won’t have time to make a fool of himself in any other way. Looks considerable like rain, off to the south’rd, don’t it?’’

CAUGHT THE FEVER.

“What become of Jones? I haven’t seen him since he bought his car.” "Oh he’s mad over it; when he isn’t riding in his auto he’s writing his autobiography.” \

A Lion Hunter’s Yarn.

An Intrepid sportsman, returning from a hunting expedition, tells .the following story: “I saw a magnificent lion, and was on the point of firing, when, with a terrible roar, he sprang at me. Fortunately he misjudged my height and jumped at least two feet over my head, and then rushed away into the bush. “Early next morning I and my guide started to track him. After several hours we came noiselessly upon him. And there, in a clearing of the forest, I saw him practicing low jumps!”

Wanted a Mourner.

The lawyer was drawing up Enpeck’s will. “I hereby bequeath all my property to my wife,” dictated Enpeck. “Got that down?” “Yes,” answered the attorney. ■ “On condition,” continued Enpeck, “that she marries within a year.”. “But why that condition?” asked the man of law. answered the meek and lowly testator, “I want somebody to be sorry that I died.”

Appearances.

Little Margaret and her mother, while out walking, approached a particularly filthy and bearded or-gan-grfader with his monkey, and her mother gave her a penny to bestow on the unfortunate animal. She hesitated a moment before presenting her alms, then gravely asked: “Shall- J give it to the monkey or to his father?”

Up to Date..

“I understand, 4 * says the traveler In Arkansas, “that your razor-back hogs down here are really dangerous If they become enraged.” “They used to be, mister,” allows the native; “but we-all down yere ain’t so behind the times as yo’-all up there reckon we are. We don't raise nothin’ but safety-razor-back hogs now.”

Changing His Order.

“Has your order been taken?” asked one of the waiters. “Yes,” said Mr. Welbroke, “fifteen minutes ago. It It Isn’t too late, though, I’d like to change It.” “To change your order, sir?” "Yea, If you don't 'mind, i'll change It to an entreaty.”

God Knew Him.

Fond Mother—“ Johnny, you should not quarrel with your brother. Suppose God should take him away from you?” Future President—“ Huh! God don’t want him. He knows him as well as I do.”

Time’s Changes.

"Before we were married you salu you’d lay down your life for me," she sobbed. “I know it,” he returned, solemnly; “but this confounded flat is so tiny there's no place to lay anything' down.” -\ “

A Contrary Father.

Suitor—Do you think, Edith, your father will accept me for a son-in-law? She— -L wouldn t be at all surprised. Papa always goes contrary to my wishes.

PAY WAR TAX; AVOID PENALTY

Indications Are That Many Will Be Subject to Prpsecution by, Authorities. “A great many persons subject to the new war tax are going to be compelled to pay penalty pnd subject ■ themselves to prosecution by the federal authorities,” says Revenue Collector Isaac R. Strouse, “unless between this time and the end of the month of November they are made familiar with the provisions of the new revenue tax, and the only way they can become familiar with these laws is forjthe newspapers to acquaint them with its provisions.” “For instance," said the collector, “every dealer in cigars and tobacco whose sales exceed S2OO a year is subject to a special tax of $4.80 a year and if he doesn't take out his special stamp during the present month he will have to pay a penalty of 50 per cent of the tax, besides rendering himself liable to punishment for a misdemeanor which carries a fine of SSOO or be imprisoned six months or both, at the discretion of the federal court where the case is heard. In addition to this special tax on cigar and tobacco dealers there is a tax of $5 on every bowling alley or pool ,pr billiard table with same penalties as well as a tax on moving picture theatres along with every other place of public amusement. “There is a tax on theatres, museums and concert halls which is regulated by the seating capacity, and another tax on public exhibitions other than those in that way specified. It was at first thought that the moving picture theatres would come under the latter class, but a recent ruling by the commissioner otf internal revenue says that the movies iaje to come under the head of theatres. Under this head theatres, etc., . with a seating capacity of not exceeding 250 must pay a tax of $25 a year, with the provisos that where the seating capacity is over 250 and not exceeding 500 the tax shall be SSO a year, over 500 and not exceeding 800, $75 a year, and a seating capacity of more than 800, SIOO a year.” The following is a complete list of the special taxpayers under the new law with the annual tax: ( Brokers, S3O. , Pawnbrokers, SSO. Commercial brokers, S2O. Custom house brokers, $lO. Proprietors of theatres, museums, or concert halFs: of a seating capacity not exceeding $250, $25; of oyer 250 and not exceeding 500, SSO; of over 500 and not exceeding 800, 75; of more than 800, SIOO. Proprietors of circuses, SIOO.

Proprietors oif agents of public exhibitions not otherwise enumerated, $lO. ' , Proprietors of bowling alleys or billiard rooms—Jor each alley or table $5. Commission merchants, S2O. Dealers in leaf tobacco whose annual sales o-r transfers do not exceed 50,000 pounds, $6; exceeding* 50,000” and not-100,000 pounds, $12;I exceeding 100,000 pounds, $24. Dealers in tobacco (not otherwise provided for) whose annual receipts from sales exceed S2OO, $4.80. All insurance -policies must carry a revenue stamp of % cent for each $1 of premium. Special taxpayers will be assessed for the tax for that proportion of the fiscal year, starting with November 1 and ending July 30, 1915, and all taxes will be levied as if business began on the first of the current month, as is the case with all other special taxes levied by the government. The Lafayette Morning Journal says: “The blanks for the returps for special taxpayers have been received for dealers in cigars and tobaccos and others are expected within the next few days, and the collector is anxious that those who are subject to these taxes make their returns before the end of the month and therefore avoid liability for penalty and fines. “Collector Strouse has been advised "by the commissioner of internal revenue that the rule regarding the increase of the force of the collectors in this district will provide for the addition of two traveling deputies, or field men, with two office men. The field deputies are to receive a salary of $1,200 a year, with an allowance of SBOO for traveling expenses, while the office ftren are to receive $1,200 a year. No steps have been taken thtis far toward the appointment of these new men, but already a number of applications have been made for-the iplaces.”
