.waiter to-day. A hard rain came up this afternoon, which wet everyone in camp pretty well. It is not known how long the camp will be made at Thoroughfare Gap. The orders are only issued from day to day, and the impression Is growing to be accepted as a fact that the Second Army Corps will be kept on the move in order to put it in shape for use in Cuba this fall. The men enjoy the marching and changes of camp immensely. The only thing that serves to dampen their spirits is an occasional shortage of rations. Major Fee will rejoin the regiment to-mor-row. Quartermaster Compton is rapidly fitting himself for a. position of steamboat mate at the close of his service. He has had charge of the regimental wagon train for the past week, and he says the command of emphatic language was all that saved his reason. In these days of practice marches and rapid change of camp many of the inen and officers are rapidly losing old habits of fastidiousness in eating. They are cultivating a taste for the old army bean which would astonish friends at home. Adjutant Gebhart is the only officer in the regiment, who has not yet openly declared allegiance to the great army ration. Captain McDowell has command of the first battalion in the absence of Major Fee. Captain Louden is in command of the third battalion. Many of the companies have but one officer. The last issue of shoes to the men. secured from contractors by the government, are showing their poor quality already. After three days of marching many of the men are barefooted. As all extra baggage was left at the old camp, there is plenty of work for the regimental shoemaker. Within a few days more new shoes will be an actual necessity. The first fresh beef on the trip was found at Bristow yesterday and w’as served today. G. W. B.

COL. SMITH LED THE CHOIR. Chaplain Carstennen Has Regimental OlHeern Under Discipline. Correspondence of 1 the Journal. CHICK AM AUGA PARK, Ga., Camp of the One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth Indiana 4 Volunteers, Aug. B.—Services were held Sunday morning by Chaplain Carstensen, of jthe One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth Regiment. 'The chaplain preached a sermon, admonishing the troops to be patient while waiting for a chance to go to the front. The pervices were attended by the regimental pffleers, who had front seats, and, led by Colonel Smith, acted the part of the choir. SLieut. Hopkins wore his white duck trousers and sang soprano. Colonel Smith absolutely prohibited all flirting with the soprano, and the choir behaved extremely well. De Witt C. Griffith, of Indianapolis, Visited camp Saturday and Sunday, and Joined the choir Sunday morning, his magnificent basso helping the choir very materially. Sunday evening special services were held In honor of Private Harry McMullen, of Company D, who died on Friday evening. An order has been issued from general headquarters calling for the transfer of men from each regiment in the park, ih orefeh to fill the hospital and ambulance companies to the required numbers. This regiment to-day has only nine men in the division hospital, and they are not dangerously ill. The total number in hospital from the entire division is about 150. The health of this regiment is constantly Improving. The targets on the range have been changed so that the men are now firing at figures representing the head and shoulders of a man. This is to accustom them to ehodting at men behind breastworks. The man who owns the farm in which the brigade range is located had the log, which served as a bridge over the river, cut in two, so now the camp of the range officers has been moved to the other side of the river, and the companies go out in the morning and come back in the evening. The next thing which these regiments will take up in the art of becoming thorough soldiers will be practice marches. Officers of the division have been sent out In oil directions to locate suitable places for small camps. Regiments will be sent out in neavy inarching order, to be gone four or five days. The regiments will go in differ ent directions, marching all day and pit?ning their camp at night. The next morning they wdl break camp and march to the next spot selected. In this way c/eh regiment will march about sixty miles before getting back to camp. Tho commissary department has recently been issuing canned salmon so the men. After empting the cans the boys put about a half dozen small stones in each can and then wait till after taps. Then when all the camp is still and lights out one or two men will reach out of their tent and throw the can down the company street. This is followed by some men :n the next company. The racket brings the officer of the day, the officer of the guard and company officers out. Then the same racket will be heard at the other end of the camp. Away go the officers, and when they get down there the racket breaks out In another company. When the officers get to that point every member of the company is sound asleep. The next morning early the cans are gathered up and carefully secreted for use the next night. Finally, tiie guard gathexed up the cans as they were thrown out and the camp is now quiet tijl the next issue of salmon. In order to locate these disturbers of the peace. Company D placed a guard in their company street. But he was subject to continuous fire of loaded salmon cans from the rear, and finally was compelled to retreat. Lieut. Harry Mahan, who is in charge of •Company H, is now known as “Extra Duty Mahan." Since the lieutenant returned from home he has been more than ordinarily liberal in giving the men extra duty for breaches of discipline. Along with the other officers, he was out the other night trying to locate the men who were throwing the cans. He charged from one end of the company to the other, trying to catch his man, and thinking how much extra duty he would give him. He passed in front of the tent in which Earl McKee sleeps. McKee, who is a model soldier, was sound asleep, and at that fateful moment he snored a long drawn-dirt snore. Here was Lieut. Mahan's chance. “Give that man extra duty for making unnecessary noise.” he shouted. Thus do the Innocent suffer for the sins of the guilty. Charley Clark, of Company H, has been made orderly to the range officer. Captain Charles Tariton. He has bought a pair of loots, which come up to his knees, and rides a large black mule, which belongs to “Texas ’ Higgins’s team, the meanest in the camp. When Charley mounts the mule one can see his boots and above them his red hair, with his campaign hat on top of it. Charley rode out to the range the first day and went along right smoothly, except when he crossed the bridge. The mule finally crossed the bridge, but he went all around one end of it, and then Charley had to get; off and lead ,he mule across. Private C. E. Temple, of Company L, holds the championship of the camp in shooting. He scored fifty out of a possible fifty this morning. Word has just been received of the death of General Poland, at Asheville, N. C. Nothing is known as to the arrangements for the funeral. H. I. J. Anderson Boy Dying in Hospital. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. 10.—His relatives In this cHy have been notified'by the hospital corps at Chickamauga, that Corporal Howard Henry, of Company L, One-hun-dred-and-slxtieth Indiana, who was ill and was left there when the regiment left, is in a serious condition. The information received indicates that there is but little hope for his recovery and he may be dead already. He had typhoid fever. He is the first one of the Anderson company to be seriously ill. - VIRGINIANS INDIGNANT. Say They Have Been Fulnely Accused —’Typhoid Fever WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—The officers and men of the Third Virginia are indignant because of what they say are false reports in regard to a disturbance at Camp Alger Monday evening. They say that the trouble started in a report that a hospital steward had been murdered by a colored man. The crowd which crossed the sentry lines, they say, was composed of about thirty Virginia men, fifteen or twenty from the First Ohio and ten or fifteen soldiers from other regiments. This crowd, they say, was soon brought into camp by an officer of the Third Virginia. Afterwards a much larger number of soldiers gathered to learn the cause of the excitement, hut there was no serious disturbance. General Butler, it is said, arrived on the scene near the close of the incident, and, owing to highly colored stories that had reached him, took a serious view of the occurrence. A statement sigmd by twentyeight officers of the Third Virginia says that Sreat injustice has been done one of the best isciplined regiments in the service by a statement that the Virginians would not obey their officers and were forced to return by other regiment* under arms. R. E. Duff, kie hospital steward, said to have been

killed by the negro, has not been seen the affair, but is not believed to have surfered fatal injuries. Two deaths have been reported since yesterday. They were Private C. P. Vanbuskirk. Company A, Thirteenth Pennsylvania, and Private C. J. Kurtz, Company C, Third New York. Despite fords waist deep and muddy roads, the Second Division yesterday reached Thoroughfare Gap, Va., covering two days’ marches in one day. The troops were drenched and had to camp on ground made soft by rain. Under the circumstances the march was highly successful. The quartermaster’s department performed its work well. Thirty-one typhoid fever patients will be taken to Fort Myer hospital. Os this number twelve are from the Third New York, four each from the One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth Indiana and Ninth Massachusetts, three each from the Third Missouri, Seventh Illinois and Thirty-fourth Michigan and one each from the Sixth Pennsylvania and Thirty-third Michigan. The absence of field hospitals hampers the surgeons. ♦ Ta Facilitate Granting of Pensions. NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—A special to the Tribune from Washington says: “The suggestion that hospital and medical, as well as military, records of all officers and soldiers enlisted in the war against Spain be carefully made and preserved as a part of the permanent records of the War Department in order to facilitate the adjudication and payment of future claims for pensions. it appears, is being favorably considered by the higher officials of the department. The plan suggested is so practical and easy of execution at a moderate expense of time, and is withal one from which both the government and claimants for pensions will derive some benefit, that it seems strange nobody ever proposed it long There appears now to be a fair probability that it will be adopted and carried out, as no legislation, will be needed to set it in motion.” Say* She Is Wife No. 2. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Aug. 10.—John F. Reynolds, private in Company K, Fifth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and .late minister of the gospel at Riverton, near here, was made defendant to-day in a sensational divorce suit in which he is charged with bigamy. The complainant is Eva (Mann) Reynolds, of Springfield, who alleges that she is wife No. 2 and that wdfe No. 3 was recently acquired at Chickamauga. Reynolds preached at Riverton for several months. He was quite dashing. He married Eva Mann here Feb. 28 last, afterward enlisting in Company K. It is alleged that he has a wife. Belle Reynolds, and three children living at Green Mountain Falls, Col. At Chickamauga Aug. 1 he is said to have married Alice Larned, of Ann Arbor, wife No. 3. Return of Dr. and Mr*. Gardner. NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Gardner, members of the National Red Cross Committee, the former a director of the society, arrived at Red Cross headquarters from Santiago Monday, on the Louisiana. Dr. and Mrs. Gardner arc enthusiastic over the work of the Red Cross at the front, and have the kindliest words for those witli whom they were thrown in contact. Both had seen active service while at the front and, except for the fatigue of travel, were in excellent health and spirits. Dr. Gardner says his was the ordinary experience of Red Cross nurses, and he only had time to say that “we have had a very hot time of it.” He returned to his home at Bedford, Ind. Five Deaths at Fort McPherson, ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 10.—Five privates, all volunteers, died to-day of typhoid fever in the general hospital at Fort McPherson. Their names are: Charles W. Allen, Company M, Second New York; Elmer Childers, Company M, Second Kentucky; Charles W. Baker, Company C, Second New York; Charles Morrison, Company D, Second New York; Benjamin Bourne, Company A, Third Ohio. There are now 618 patients in the big hospital here. Os these 400 are suffering from typhoid fever. Tampa has rent 250 typhoid patients, 158 came from Chickamauga and 160 from Fernandina. “Knock-Out Drops” for Soldiers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. 10.—Letters from the Anderson company at Newport News, where they were taken to embark for Porto Rico, state that the fakirs are working among tne boys of the One-hundred-and-sixtieth Indiana, to get the pay which has just been given the soldiers. They have even resorted, it is claimed, to “knock-out drops,” which put the soldiers to sleep while their pockets are rifled. Several of the privates have gone up against the "knockouts” and aside from 'osing their cash have suffered rather serious results. A Sheriff Overawed. BARTOW, Fla., Aug. 10.-Sheriff Tillis went to Lakeland Monday for a negro charged with selling liquor. He arrested his man, handcuffed him and had him on the car. While waiting for the train to pull out twenty-five or thirty of the Tenth Cavalry (a negro regiment) walked into the car and demanded that the sheriff release his prisoner. This Sheriff Tillis refused to do and in a moment he was looking down twentyfive or thirty revolver barrels. The soldiers then took the prisoner from the sheriff and walked off with him.

Water for Montnnk Camp. NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—At a meeting of the executivo committee of the Red Cross relief committee to-day the problem of supplying the Montauk camp with water was solved. Wm. T. Wardwefl, on behalf of the Standard Oil Company, the Union tank line and the Long Island Railroad, offered the use of four six-thousand-gallon tank cars to supply tho camp with spring water. The offer was accepted and the tanks will be immediately put in condition, so that water can be taken to the camp to-morrow. Notes of tlie War. The auxiliary cruiser Yale has been ordered to proceed from New York to Santiago with the Eighth Illinois Volunteer Infantry. The transport Chester, with the First Regiment of Volunteer Engineers, numbering about 1,200 men, sailed from New York yesterday for Porto Rico. John H. Lane, storekeeper of the United States transport Minnewaske. dropped dead on his boat at Savannah yesterday. The troop ship was waiting to carry the Third Regiment of immunes to Santiago. Lane was fifty-five years of age and the father of Captain Lane, of the Ninth police precinct, New York city. FOR THE ISLE OF PINES. Naval Expedition Leave* Guantanamo Bay—The Maria Teresa. GUANTANAMO BAY, Aug. ft, 10 p. m., via Playa del Este. Province of Santiago de Cuba (delayed in transmission.) —The Newark, Scorpion, Suwanee and Resolute, with the marines, sailed this afternoon for the Isle of Pines. The Badger and I. J. Merritt have arrived. The latter, after coaling, will proceed to the wreck of the Cristobal Colon. The Merritt & Chapman wreckers nowthink the Infanta Maria Teresa is held in position by a rock through her bottom forward, but they expect to haul her off soon. The St. Paul has arrived here from Porto Rico and proceeds to Santiago de Cuba in order to embark troops. The St. Louis sailed for Santiago this morning. Both the St. Paul and the St. Louis will embark the troops outside the narbor entrance, being too long to enter the harbor proper. Captain Clark, formerly of the Oregon. Is going north on the St. Paul owing to bad health. Capt. A. S. Barker, formerly of the Newark, commands the Oregon, and Capt. C. F. Goodrich, formerly of the St. Louis, commands the Newark. The latter is in charge of the expedition to the Isle of Pines. The Niagara’s sailing for Key West via Porto Rico was delayed until to-day. A speedy conclusion of the peace negotiations oee way or the other is earnestly hoped for throughout the lleet. as the state of inaction and suspense is trying to officers and men. though the health and discipline of the naval forces are good. There are only 170 men on the sick list out of S.'.'OO men on the ships in this harbor, and none of the cases is serious. Chief Engineer C. J. MacConnell, the first engineer of the tiagship New York, goes north in a day or so on sick leave. He has been suffering from rheumatism alnmst since the war began, but has stuck to his duty. The doctors, however, now positively order him home. The splendid work done by the New York’s engines, not a single break-down being recorded, is greatly due to Chief Engineer MacCcnnell. Tlie Osceoia has sailed to join the southern blockadiv

STOLTZ MURDER CASE PORTLAND ATTORNEY OUTLINES EVIDENCE AGAINST MARSHALL. Judge Marsh Refused to Give the Prinoner More Time—Striking Nailers to Meet at Chicago. ‘Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WINCHESTER, Ind., Aug. 10,-Judge Marsh to-day refused to give Samuel H. Marshall a continuance, and the murder trial is fairly under headway. George Bergman, of Portland, made the opening statement, in which he claimed that early in February Marshall was in Anderson without money and dressed in an old suit of clothes; that Albert Musser was released from the Anderson jail on Monday evening, where he had been confined on a charge of vagrancy under the name of Watson; that Marshall left Anderson on Monday evening or Tuesday; that on Wednesday evening, between 10 and 11 o’clock, he was at the strawboard works in Muncie and talked with parties there in the engine and boiler room; that soon after he left Musser came in and inquired for the paper maker from Anderson (Marshall had w : orked as a paper maker there); that Musser was permitted to sleep in the boiler room behind the boiler; that Marshall soon came back to the boiler room and inquired for Musser, and on learning he w’as there left word that he should call for him in the machine room at 5 o’clock in the morning; that while in the machine room Marshall told Frank Markle he was just from Terre Haute, and that he and Musser were “going up the road to pull off a peach;” that “there was an old lady up there who lived alone and had all kinds of money and was afraid of banks; the ‘Kid’ (Mussel') know’s all about it; there is a crippled boy up there who nad his hand blown off in a safe-cracking affair knows all about it;” that both Marshall and Musser slept at the strawboard works that night, and the next morning, Thursday, had a long talk alone; that on that same afternoon they were both seen at Portland. The prescutor then claimed the evidence would show that Marshall and Musser returned to Anderson, where Marshall exhibited a roll of bills and silver, showing $1,300. Mr. Bergman also claimed that Marshall told people in Anderson that Mrs. Stoltz, of Portland, had been murdered five hours before the discovery was made at Portland. This w’as Feb. 12. On Feb. 11 he and Musser had come through Alexandria on their way from Portland, which would show, as was printed in the Journal some time ago, that Mrs. Stoltz must have been murdered a day before the time the Portland officers fixed the crime. The next evening, in Anderson, Marshall married Edith Gaisser at a house where he had been boarding. He had costly presents for her. After that, the prosecutor claimed, ho would show that Marshall returned to notorious resorts in Anderson and inquired if they knew of the Portland murder. In these houses he offered a SIOO bill in payment for drinks. He deposited S3OO in an Anderson bank and left for Terre Haute. Musser also showed big bills in Anderson. Mr. Bergman declared that Marshall returned to Anderson without money early in March and was asked if he had killed Mrs. Stoltz, of Portland. He said he got there too late, and explained that he and Musser won their money at Knightstown. He was then traced to Monmouth, 111., where he was arrested. The statement of the prosecution shows that the state has prepared a strong case against Marshall. The testimony thus far has been what transpired just before the murder and the transactions leading to and immediately following its discovery. City Marshal Mont Mahan testified to having received on Feb. 12 an anonymous postal card on which was printed a request for him to go to Mrs. Stoltz’s house, in the north end of Portland, near the heading factory; that she had been robbed. This led to the discovery of the murder.

INTERURIIAN TROLLEY LINE. Electric Cars Now Running Daily De- . tween Amlerson and Marlon. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FAIRMOUNT, Ind., Aug. 10.—Anderson and Marlon were connected this week by a trolley line. The line was completed Tuesday, and cars are now running through on a splendid roadbed. The Marion City Railway Company has purchased cars similar to those used on the other end of the line, which are a combination coach and baggage car, and are built on the same plan as a railroad passenger coach and have a seating capacity of about fifty. Air brakes are used on the cars, and they also carry a whistle, and as they go along whistling for a crossing it seems very much like riding on a railroad train. It requires two hours and thirty minutes to make the trip from Anderson to Marion, and they are doing an immense business carrying people to the Fairmount fair this week. The fare one way, from Marion to Anderson, is 35 cents. 15 cents from Marion to Summitville, and 20 cents from there to Anderson. The Union Traction Company takes in the towns of Anderson, Linwood, Alexandria and Summitville, while the Marion company connects at Summitville, passing through Jonesboro, Gas City and Fairmount. There is already a scheme on foot to bring Converse into the circuit. THE ODD FELLOWS* HOME. Sex*eral Towns Are Bidding, but No Site Has Yet Been Selected. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 10.—Mrs. Mary Poths, who represents the Daughters of Rebekah on the general committee for the selection of a location for an Odd Fellow’s State home, returned to-day from a trip over the State and corroborates the report that no definite location for the home has yet been settled. Indianapolis, Lafayette, Fort Wayne, Marion and Greensburg are candidates by virtue of grants of land or offers of cash, and the latter place is considered favorably. Greensburg holds out unusual inducements in the way of a fine site besides a liberal offer of financial assistance and the committee has been called to meet at that place on Aug. 17 to consider the proposition.

Every indication is that all plants will be ordered closed by to-morrow's conference. A few days ago the trust issued an ultimatum to all men declaring no concessions. THE PITTSBI RG CONFERENCE. Same Scale ns latnt Year and Machine* May Be Cited. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 10.-The wage conference of chimney glass workers and manufacturers was held here to-day and resulted in an agreement to continue last year’s scale during the present fire without change.

Ind., Aug. 10.—Three w’eeks ago the City Council passed an ordinance taxing ail wheels that used the streets. It was for the purpose of raising funds W’ith w hich to clean the streets. The ordinance went into effect last week and 150 had paid the tax and secured tags for their buggies, wagons and bicycles. In the meantime a hitter fight has been made on the ordinance and remonstrances largely signed were presented to the Council. The Council at its meeting Monday night took up the matter again, and by a vote of three to two repealed the ordinance. The license fees are now' being paid back to those who had paid. This action of the Council will require the raising of the levy for next year for city purposes. The ordinance if it had not been repealed would have brought into the city treasury about $1,200. The matter has aroused much discussion in this city. C’hauneey Fisher to Sell Snatlies, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON.

For the past few days he nas suffered from muscular spasms, and his jaws at times have become unmovable. A number of times when the sufferer would doze off the lower jaw would drop, but as soon as awakened his jaws would fly shut and catch his tongue, biting off the end each time.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MADISON, Ind., Aug. 10.—Madison is one of the leading peach markets.

HARMONY IN NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS UNITED AND PREPARED TO OVERTHROW BRYAN ISM. State Ticket Nominated and Platform Adopted in Quick Time—Missouri Democrats Divided. LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 10.— Nebraska Republicans made a record for industry to-day in their state convention, concluding with a degree of harmony perhaps unequaled in the history of the party in the last ten years. The ticket nominated follows: For Governor, M. L. Hayward, of Otoe county; lieutenant governor, George A. Murphy, Gage county; secretary of state, Geneke Duras, Saline county; auditor, T. L. Matthews, Dodge county; treasurer, Peter Mortensen, Valley county; superintendent of public instruction, J. F. Saylor, Lancaster county; attorney general, N. D. Jackson, Antelope county; commissioner of public lands and buildings, A. W. Williams. Douglass county. The platform is brief and goes to extremes in conservatism, dismissing the subject of territorial expansion with an indorsement of President McKinley’s proposed terms of peace. A sentiment favorable to a declaration for imper alism was apparent before the convention met, but is supposed to have been antagonized in the committee on resolutions and did not come before the convention. The platform reiterates the declarations at St. Louis and continues: “We reaffirm unswerving allegiance to the principles enunciated in the Republican national platform of 1896. We are in favor of the maintenance of the present gold standard and unalterably opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. We favor the payment of our soldiers and sailors in the same money as is paid the bondholders. “We congratulate the Nation upon tne successful issue of the war with Spain, prosecuted under the direction of William McKinley, commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, with the loyal support of brave volunteers on both land and sea. “We empnasize our hearty approval of the wise foreign policy of President McKinley, and also of tho terms demanded of Spain as the conditions of restored peace.” MiHSOnrt Democrats. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Aug. 10.—The Democratic state convention met to-day to select candidates for judges of the Supreme Court and superintendent of public instruction. The day was consumed by speeches on the foreign policy of the country, and considerable friction developed. Temporary Chairman Bland in opening the convention opposed extensive territorial acquisition. He insisted that Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines when wrested from Spain should be allowed to govern themselves or seek annexation of their own free will. Former Governor Stone opposed Bland, favoring annexation of all the conquered territory. The committee on resolutions to-night agreed to report in opposition to the acquisition of the Philippines, but favored the annexation of Porto Rico, and leaving the disposition of Cuba to its own people. The report will be presented to the convention to-morrow.

H© Fooled Terre Haute Offlelnls and Secured Carl Tanaey’s Release. Advices received from Terre Haute last night indicates that Attorney Sherman Mott, with an office in the Lemcke building, this city, played a sharp trick on both the local police and the Terre Haute guardians of the law. Making a hurried trip to Terre Haute he secured the release of Carl Tansey, alias Hans Williams, who was wanted here on the charge of assault with intent to kill. Mr. Mott, it is claimed, by making a plausible talk to Mayor Ross and paying a portion of the prisoner’s fine, secured the release of Tansey. Tansey was in jail there charged with vagrancy, and at the time he wrote the c der for his release Mayor Ross did not know Tansey was wanted elsewhere on a criminal charge. Attorney Mott said he intended to take Tansey back to Indianapolis at once, as his mother was greatly worried about him. Evidently Tansey did not return here, for a letter was received in Terre Haute from Chief Quigley yesterday requesting Chief Hyland to hold him until an officer could be sent over after him. The man Tansey assaulted is now eating through a quill because of the breaking of his jaw, but the police, though aware of his predicament, are not able to learn his name. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY.

THE STAMP TAXES. Argument from the Point of View of the Express Companies. Springfield Republican. The express shippers have won the first skirmish in the courts over the incidence of the stamp tax of I cent on each bill of lading or receipt issued by an express company. Judge Tuley, of Chicago, sitting in the state Circuit Court, rules in a case brought by the Manufacturers' Association that the express companies must accept packages for shipment, with the receipt duly stamped by themselves, and without adding the cost of the stamp to the regular express rate. The express companies will, of course, appeal to the higher courts, for, if this decision should stand and could be enforced, the companies would have to bear the whole tax, which will amount to about $3,1)00,000 A year. Judge Tuley Is accounted a very able jurist, but his judgment in this case is amazing. It is fair to compel the express companies. and, as well, the railroad companies, to provide the stamps required by law and affix them to their bills of lading. But to go further, and say that this cost of the stamps shall not be passed along to the shipper, is to proceed beyond the intent of the law. if not the power of the court, and render a judgment, furthermore, which cannot be enforced. A stamp tax is an excise tax. and an excise tax pays no regard to rules of apportionment, but is allowed to fall where it may—the government concerning itself merely with collecting the money which is sought. It is to exhibit great ignorance of the nature of the tax to say that it was the intent of Congress, in imposing a stamp tax on bills of lading and express company receipts, that the railroad and express companies should pay the whole tax and not pass any part of it along to their customers. The absurdity of the idea will appear on a moment’s reflection. If Judge Tuley’s decision is sound, then the beer brewers and whisky distillers and the tobacco men have been violating the law for thirty-five years in collecting the costs of the internal revenue stamps on their products from the consumers or purchasers of their goods. If this judgment is sound, then the owners of productive real estate have been violating state law from time out of mind in undertaking to add the state property taxes on their tenements and business blocks to the rent charged for the use of such property. Then, too, the domestic importers ot dutiable goods have been violating federal laws from the beginning in seeking to pass along the customs dues collected from them by the government to the buyers and consumers of the goods. The Merchants’ Association of New York and the Manufacturers’ Association of Illinois say it was the intent of Congress that the express companies should bear the whole stamp tax on receipts without increasing their charges; but is it any more the intent of the law that the express companies shall pay the tax than that the lawyer who draws up a legal instrument shall pay the cost of stamping it or that the banks shall stamp checks out of their own pockets, or that the increased tax on cigars shall not in any event increase the price to consumers, or that the extra dollar a barrel on beer shall not In any event increase the amount of foam in the retail glass of beer or reduce the size of the mug? We need only ask the question to reveal its absurdity. It was, of course, never the intention of Congress that the comparatively few corporations and individuals who are to buy and affix stamps in the first instance shall necessarily shoulder the whole estimated sum of $175,000,000 a year provided through these special taxes for the costs of the war. And if this were the intention of Congress it could never be enforced. All the law within reach of that body could not prevent an express company or other concern in a similar position from passing along the tax to the consumer in one way or another, either through increased charges or reduced accommodations or in some other manner. Judge Tuley’s decision is both untenable and impracticable, ard will hardly be affirmed by the higher courts, we should suppose.

When a man feels out of sorts, when he gets up in the morning tired out after a restless night, and goes home in the evening completely knocked out with his day’s work, without appetite or ambition, he is a sick man.

FRANK G. VOLZ, Popular Price SHOES No. 6 East Washington St. ■HIM i .1 —— ROOSEVELT IX WAR. He Was Eager to Bent the Front— Slightly Wounded. New York Evening Sun. A wounded Rough Rider, who arrived at Governor's island this morning from the transport Breakwater, upon which vessel he had been detained, pending his recovery from a severe attack of malarial fever, in speaking of the fight before Santiago, said: “It is generally believed that Colonel Roosevelt went through the Santiago campaign unscathed. He was hit once, however, by a fragment of shell. It was only a scratch, but it drew blood pretty freely, and that seemed to please the colonel. Ha and five other officers were standing just behind the brow of a hill, upon which was stationed a battery that we were supporting. The Spaniards seemed to have the range of the hill all right, for their first shot came just over the battery. The shell exploded directly over where the officers were standing. “Two of them, I think, were severely wounded. A piece df shell struck our colonel on the back of the hand. He wrapped his handkerchief about the wound and paid no more attention to it. When he came back to our line a moment later he held out the br.ndaged hand to some of us who were nearest to him and said: ‘Well, boys, I’ve got it, too.’ “I never saw a man so anxious to get in a scrap before in my life. When we were being held In reserve on the first day of the fight he kept saying to the other officers: ‘I wish they’d let us start.' When we did get our orders to advance you ought to have seen him. But I guess everybody knows about that part of it. He roughed it just like the rest of us. and most of the time he didn't wear a coat, but went around in an old flannel shirt. He didn’t have a shelter tent till they were distributed to the rest of us. “One day when I had been working in the trenches all day I went hack to camp and came across the colonel sitting under a tree. He said to me: ‘Well, my boy, where have you been?’ I sat down near him and told him. He said it was hot as up there, wasn’t it?’ And then he said: ’You go right on over there.’ and he pointed in a certain direction, ‘and you'll find some hot coffee and as good food as we've been able to get for the boys.’ He was looking out for us all the time.” “Those negro troops are great fighters,” said another Rough Rider, who was standing near. “They went up San Juan hill singing ‘There’ll be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-night.’ There was one Spanish sharpshooter who had picked off about fifty ‘of our men, and one of the Twenty-fourth’s men located him finally in a tree. He walked toward the tree till he could see the Spaniard, Just as if he was on target practice, then when he had him in plain sight he said: ‘I got vu, honey.’ and let him have it. The Snaniard fell out of the tree, shot through both legs. One of his legs had to be amputated.” BUTCHER WEYLER. He Is a Republican nml a Follower of Cnstelnr. W. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record. General Weyler is a Republican, a follower of Casteiar. and. although one would not suspect it from his reputation, has always been an advocate of Spanish liberty and the abolition of the throne. He is as much feared by the Cariists as by the Bourbons. and the latter fear him more than Don Carlos, although I understand he has recently and in person pledged his loyalty to the Queen Regent. One of my friends among the officers of Cervera’s fleet tells me that Weyler demonstrated his republicanism at his marriage many years ago, and makes him the hero of a romance both sensible and sentimental. When he was a subaltern in the garrison of a fort on the Island of Majorca, in the Mediterranean, he fell in love with the daughter of a winegrower, who had a small vineyard and owned his own home, but belonged to the peasant class and with the aid of his family managed to make out a comfortable living. The girl was attractive, physically and mentally, but had no more education than her class, and that was confined to reading and writing and the lives of the saints. Weyler determined to marry her. although he knew that such an act would alienate him from his family. Nevertheless he invited the officers of his garrison to attend the ceremony and to accompany him afterward to a convent in the neighborhood, where he left his bride to be educated. She lived there for two years, and came out a lady. In the meantime he saw her only occasionally. When he considered her fitted to share his social position she came to him from the convent and was presented to his family and friends. Senora Weyler Is still living and the mother of a large family. She has always commanded the respect and admiration of the people of Majorca, where his estates lie, and when she has been in Madrid has been very much admired, although she has never attempted to shine at court.
