state board of health.
In discussing this new fangled |
fad put afload by certain inter-
ested medicos, the Gonzales In-
quirer indulges in the following
bit of caustic criticism anent the
rzzzzzz:
IIIZIIX
The output of the Klondike gold j measure:
£■
mines this year has been placed
at $20,000,000.
Lieut. Hobson is reported ser-
iously ill with typhoid fever at
the Presbyterian hospital in New
York.
The great international live
stock exposition was formally
opened by Chicago on the ,'ird
inst.
Under the new apportionment
provided in a bill introduced in
the House Texas will gain two
additional congressmen.
Bremen has quarantined
against ships from Cape Colony
and Natal on account of the out
break of the plague in South
Africa.
Reports of additional atrocities
committed by Chinese have been
received which has a tendeney to
place a new phase on the Chinese
question.
Reported that an appropriation
of $100,000 has been made for the
purpose of purchasing cattle and
brood-mares for distribution
among Cuban farmers.
Efforts are being made at
Wa":o to secure the location of
Trinity University, which is to
be removed from Tehuacana.

The Texas State treasury now
contains in cash and bonds near-
ly twelve million dollars, most of
which belongs to the public
school fund.
The three-year extension of
service is said to meet with little
favor among the American offi-
cers in the Philippines. Most of
them appear determined to return
home as soon as their time ex-
pires.
The Manchester Guardian states
that Queen Vistoria has decided
to confer a dukedom on Lord
Roberts and that parliament will
be asked to vote him 100,000
pounds as a small appreciation
of the services rendered his coun-
try in South Africa.
Thr Indians on the Papago
reservation, near Tucson, Ari-
zona, are reported wild with re-
ligious excitement, caused by the
teachings of a white woman, who
is posing among them as a pro-
phetess and teaching them to
obey dreams. The bucks are
threatening to go on the warpath,
so intense is their excitement.
The plan of organization of the
international exposition at Birm-
ingham, Alabama, includes an
authorised capital of $1,000,000,
•n aparopriation by the state of
Alabama of $100,000 and an ap-
propriation by congress of $500,-
000 will be asked for. The ex-
position will open Nov. 15, 1904,
and oloM May 16, 1805. Oen.
Joseph Wheeler will be president
of the association.

The 8t. Louis Republic says:
"And while we are on the subject
of trusts, there is the corset trust.
That hat undoubtedly oome to

to get around it. In spjte of the
money that is behind it, it is gen

AccORD.ua to the St. Louis
,:|§ Republic the war in the Philip
piOM thus far has cost muoh
American blood and many hun-
dred millions of dollars. Thsre
la no gain with which to offset
this tremendous tax upon the
people. Even England is begin'
to learn that her colonies
are a losing investment, liksly
to precipitate the disintegration
of the Empire in a crucial orlsis.
We are recklessly entering upon
the same paths, although suoh a
coarse Is distinctly forbidden by
the prinoipiee upon which our
fabric of government rests. The
bill lor the increase of the army
Is the first danger signal on the
Mad to Empire.
"It is strange how zealously a
set of physicians are working for
a state board of health. There
has been no demand from the j
public for it. There has been no |
dissatisfaction from the people as !
to our present .juarantine laws, i
state health officer or its admin- j
istration, hence it must be that j
the state medical association must J
be working to some end that the 1
public is not aware of. The state j
health laws are all right as they
are. The people do not want any
change. Dr. Blunt has effectual-
ly guarded the state from infec-
tion and epidemics. There is no
need for a change unless it is to
give fat jobs and notoriety to a
bunch of physicians, It would
be poor policy to turn the state
health office over to a board when
prompt action is required ie most
cases. Besides the board would
be fcix months arguing as to what
was necessary. The people of
Texas want no change simply to
satisfy the cravings of a few in-
diduals for notoriety."
WAR TAX REDUCTION
A Washington special says:
All proprietary stamp taxes and
many of the documentary stamp
taxes will be repealed by the bill
which the Republican members
of the house committee on ways
and means are engaged in fram-
ing. It has been learned that it
is not the present intention to
make any reductsons in the taxes
on spirits, fermented liquors, or
tobacco. The entire reduction
will amount to about $30,000,000.
Taxes that it has been fully de-
termined to repeal are those in
schedule "B" of the war revenue
act, embracing the proprietary
taxes amountfng toabout $5,000,•
000; taxes on telegrams and ex-
press receipts amounting to about
$3,000,000; legacy tax on be-
quests to religious, educational
and charitable institutions,rough-
ly estimated at $5,000,000, and
taxes on mortgages, promissory
notes, checks, and drafts, insur-
ance policies and premiums,
warehouse receipts, certificates
of various kinds, deeds and prac-
tioally all of the other documen-
tary stamp taxes except those on
stock exchange transactions.
The award of the Swiss gov-
ernment in the Franco-Brazilian
boundary dispute gives Brazil
147,000 square miles of the con-
tested territory. Prance gets
about 3000 square miles north of
the Tumuc Humac Range.

A remarkable statement appears
in Noah Brooks' biogTaphy of Iiin-
coln concerning the attitude of the
clergymon in Lincoln's home city of
Springfield, 111., in the presidential
campaign of 1860. A few days be-
fore that eleotion, according to the
testimony of this biographer, Mr.
Lincoln was looking over the can-
vass of the city, gjade by the Repub-
lican committee, and this biograph-
er pictures Lincoln's extreme dis-
appointment in discovering that, of
the twonty clergymen in Springfield,
only three were going to rpte for
him.
Estimates for this year's yield
of gold in the Klondike are $20,
000,000, against 817,000,000 in
1899, and an expected yield of
$25,000,000 year.
