GENERAL H'COOK RETIRED

Years of Faithful Serrico.
BRAVE SOLDIER'S DISTINGUISHED CAREER
Cntrred the War n Colonel In the Flrnt
Ohio Volunteer * , WR nt Hull Itun ,
blilloh mid In the Unities
Around Clilckninnugn.
WASHINGTON , April 22. Secretary Lament -
mont today Issued an order retiring Major
General Alexander .McDowell McCook and
reviewing his career from the date of his
appointment as a lieutenant , la 1852. Mc
Cook entered the Into war as colonel o (
the First Ohio volunteers. Ho was' In Bui )
Hun. In 18G1 he was made a brigadier gen
eral. He received favorable commendation
at Shlloh from General Sherman. Ho became -
came major and corps commander In 18C2.
Ho vna through the scries at battles around
Chlclcamauga , and afterward was engaged
In the defense of Washington. In the early
part of 18G6 ho was In command of the
eastern district of Arkansas. While being
promoted In the volunteer armies he received
a succession of brevet ranks In the regular
army for gallant and meritorious services ,
beginning with major aud ending with major
general.
In 1867 ho was appointed lieutenant col
onel and served from that time until 1S74
In the Department of Texas. In 1875 he
was appointed aide-de-camp to General Sher
man , with the rank of colonel , and subse
quently saw much sorvlco In the wast. Promoted
meted to major general on November 9 ,
1894 , ho continued In this command , now
known as the Department of Colorado ,
until tbo hour of his retirement.
In closing the secretary nays : "Ho Is the
last survivor but one of a gallant family
which gave father and every son to the
military service In defense of the country
and lost four dead upon the battlefield. "
DENVER , April 22. At noon today Major
General McCook surrendered the command
of the Department of Colorado to Colonel
Thomas Ward , adjutant general , In compli
ance with the following order received by
telegraph before noon :
WASHINGTON. D. C. , April 22. Com
manding General , Department of Colorado ,
Denver Cole , : The secretary of war directs
that from the hour of retirement of Major
General McCook until a commander shall
liavo been assigned to and bavo assumed
command of the Department of Colorado , the
adjutant general of the department transact
the routine business of the headquarters , in
accordance with the established rules , In the
name of the commanding general of the
army , and communicate with him by tele
graph respecting all matters of Importance
requiring Immediate attention.
By command of
LIEUTENANT GENERAL SCHOFIELD.
RUGGLES , Adjutant General.
There were no formal ceremonies attend

ornor Mclntyro and many leading citizens
called on the general and offered congratula
tlons.
NO INOOMU TAX IIKAKINU THIS
Nothing- Said About It from the lltncii , but
This li Now Evident.
WASHINGTON , April 22. Contrary to ex <
pectatlona , the United States supreme court
failed to hand down a decision on the motion
of a rehearing on the income taxes. The
chief Justice announced that on Friday , May
3. the court would cease the call of cases
on the docket for the present term. The two
facts together are taken to mean definitely
that whatever the decision of the court on the
motion for a rehearing may be , the court has
no expectation of a rearguuient during the
pretent term.
The most Important case In which a de
cision was annornced was that of Roberts and
Ellis against the Northern Pacific Railway
company , appealed from the circuit court of
the western district of Wisconsin. Justice
Shlras announced the decision of the court ,
ainrmlng the Judgment of the court below'-
The case Involves the title to lands which
were donated to the railway company by
Douglas county on the conditions that the
road should pursue a certain route and make
certain Improvements on Lake Superior ,
which was done. The land and the Improve
ments arc now estimated as worth $750,000.
The county afterward sold the land to Rob
erts & Ellis for $385 , In view of a decision of
the supreme court of Wisconsin that the
county could not donate Its lands to a corpora
tion. The decision In the United States supreme
premo court holds that the transfer of the
lands to the company was a sale and not a
donation , and also that the case was not one
for the state courts in view of the fact that
the Northern Pacific road was a national , and
not a state corporation.

WASHINGTON , April 22. Mr. Noble , the

WASHINQTON , 'April 22. Dr. Salmon
today nas shown thd dispatch given out by
II. I * . Woodbury , sqcrctary of the Kansas
City stock yards , In which It was charged
that the agitation begun by the Agricultural
department has hurt the live stock Indus
try. In reply Dr. Salmon said : "Tho United
States Department of Agriculture had Its
attention called to the discrepancy between
the prices of fat cattle on the hoof aud the
price of prime bcof In retail markets be
fore an Investigation had been authorized
by any person connected with the depart
ment. Ho declared tbat ho did not credit
the statement that the agitation had put
down the prlco of llvo cattle , and main
tained the retail price of beef , as It was
alleged by the Kansas City stock yards
people. Prices depend now , and have de
pended all along , on the relation of the
supply of beef to the demand for beef.
"Agitation , nnd Investigation , " he said ,
"can neither cripple nor destroy the truth
and the right , and It Is duo to the pro
ducers and the consumers allko that the
Intermediary profits of middle men standing
between them should bo only reasonable and
compensatory. The advance In price by re-
tall dealers In dressed beef of 5 cents to
the consumers , when there Is an advance of
only $1 a hundred pounds to the farmers
and cattle feeders for animals on hoof , Is
not regarded as equitable or proportioned. "

WASHINGTON , April 22. The decision of
the supreme court In the income tax cases
necessitates a revision of the estimate for
the calendar year ending Juno 30 , and from
the last data obtainable It Is estimated that
the deficit for the year will amount to $10-
000,000. The amount of the deficit to date
is J47.251.241 , with Indications of a further
Increase before the close of the present
month , but the Income tax receipts. It Is
expected , will materially cut down this
amount during the remaining ton weeks of
the fiscal year. Receipts from customs and
from Internal revenue sources continue to
Increase , but not at the pace expected , and
with fully one-half of the anticipated re
ceipts from the Income tax cut off It Is
doubtful if the close of the year shows a
deficit less than $40,000,000. As has been
the case for some years , the expenditure on
account of pensions Is more than a third of
the entire expenditures of the government
and several times during the last two years
the Inexorable requisitions of the secretary
of the Interior on pension accounts has
caused some apprehension among the ofllclals
that the time might "come when they could
not be honored with the old-time prompt
ness. Already this month more than $11-
000,000 has been paid to pensioners , and
since July 1 nearly $117,500,000 has been
paid on the pension acqount.

WASHINGTON , April 22. The Department
of Agriculture has prepared a report In an
swer to the senate' resolution Inquiring as
to the whereabouts anil conditions of the ex
perimental sugar machinery which was pur
chased by the department at various times , at
a cost of about $280,000. So far , the- report
says , very little gobd has ever been derived
from It. The machinery was loaned out to
persons * to make experiments , and It Is now In
the hands , of private parltes. The most of It
Is In Kansas , though ta , small portion U In
Florida and Louisiana. ' The department will
also take up the question of what to do with
it , and It is thought tbat it will be appraised ,
aud sold. Some illinculty Is anticipated In I
proving the title to the property , as a great
ilojl of It Is In the hands of people Who claim
possession. In several cases the Department
of Agriculture has referred the government
cases to the Department of Justice , and It Is
expected that United States district attorneys
will be railed upon to asslt In reclaiming the
machinery ,

on that day In the Yankton case. If a delay
Is caused the hearing cannot occur before
Saturday , because Friday Is cabinet day.
The preparation of the decision In such
cases as this usually consumes considerable
time , and licuce It Is not likely that the re
sult of the hearing will be known very soon.
A brief has been received from Coo I. Craw
ford , attorney general of South Dakota , and
placed on Ilia In the department with the
other papers In the case. In his letter to the
secretary , Attorney General Crawford says
that pressing business prevents his being
present at the oral hearing to mnke argu
ment In the Interest of his state. The brief
quotes the net of congress , approved .March
2 , 1895 , providing that "any state entitled to
Indemnity school lands , or entitled to se
lect lands for educational purposes under ex
isting luus may select such lands within the
boundaries of any Indian reservation In said
state from the surplus lands thereof pur
chased by the United States , after allotments
have been made to the Indians of such reser
vation and prior to the opening of the reser
vation to settlement. "
INDIANS' DAY HAS PASSED.
The brief says that If the above Is a valid
and pending statute , as tt is believed to be , It
applies to the Yankton matter , and adds-
"The Indians have taken their allotments
and ceded the remainder to the United States ,
and the Indian title having been thus ex
tinguished , the state of South Dakota may
make Its selections from these lands. So
far as the Yankton Indians arc concerned ,
wo fall to see where they have reliable
ground for complaint. They had the first
choice of these lands and got the cream of
allotments In severally. The Indians have
received by allotment out of the reserva
tion 2 < > 5,4 < i acres of the very choicest land
and have received cash for the remainder
and have relinquished their tltlo to such re
malmler for cash. "
Attorney General Crawford says In his
brief that the protest purported to be signed
by the members of the Yanklon tribe against
selections by the state might have been pro
cured through the efforts of scheming par
ties playing upon the prejudices of the In
dians.
Commissioner Lockart was at the In
terior department during the whole afternoon
today , examining the various papers In the
case. In order to acquaint himself with the
details and bo ready for the hearing.

Morton Interview on I'liinnco Not to He
Interpreted a * llli.
WASHINGTON , April 22. The statment
which Secretary J. Sterling Morton gave to
the press last week of his views upon the
financial question has been Interpreted by
the press very generally as an utterance
made on behalf of the president and express
ug the president's attitude. This Inference
was based largely upon the circumstances
that Mr. Morton made public his statement
so soon after his return from the white
house , where he had been In conference with
the president and members or the cabinet
at the rgular cabinet meeting. This sur
mise , however , was proven today to be In
correct by denials which were made by both
President Cleveland and Secretary Morton.
The president's statement , which was given
to the Associated press by Private Secretary
Thiirber , Is as follows :
"The president , when asked this evening
whether Secretary Morton's Interview upon
the money question might he regarded as
representing his views , replied'I am In no
manner responsible for Mr. Morton's Inter
view and know nothing of It until I read It
In the newspapers. When I have seen fit to
say anything to the people on the money
question or any other subject I have thus
far found It quite easy to do so directly and
on my own account. ' "
Both the president nnd the secretary of
agriculture spoke without consultation with
the other.

What is Death ? *
Not many folks speak dead languages nowadays
and it's very hard to find out. Death is very fool
ish in some cases. Lots of folks die every year that
could postpone it as well as not if they'd use a little
common sense. Are you getting all run down ? Get
ting consumption , are you ? Doctor says you are in a
bad way , does he ? Do you want to die ? If you do ,
don't try our kind of medicine. If you want to live ,
tnkc Ozonmlsion. It only costs a dollar to try it. It
can't hurt you. There's not much in it but cod liver
oil and guaiacol. The doctor probably gives you the
common cod liver oil now. But ( his is ozonized.
How's that done ? That's our secret. That's what
helps the cod liver oil and guaiacol to go where it will
do the most good. Try it. It will make you hungry
things will look better to you-you'll eat more you'll
get more flesh on your bones you'll begin to build up
you may get better right away. If one bottle helps
you ever so little , you've started in the right direction
try another.
