Every decision or opinion so far rendered by the United States otflcers , state railroad COtnmtssIoner or the courts on this question - tion has been against the express companies and In favor of the people. v. n. scott. commissioner Internal Teenue. ruled. The law of June 13. iSit. expressly provides that It shall be the dty of eapreu Companies anti other carriers who receive itoods for transportation to furnish a. stamped receipt of bill of lading and a penalty is prescribed for failure to do Colonel James I. Boyd. assistant attorney enera1 of the United States. jn an offlctal opinion ruled : "The purpoe of the law is r clear. It was to tax the carrier and not the shipper. and these provisions undoubt- ediy ttxed upon cxpreas companies , railroad companies and other carriers included within the provisions of the law the duty of pro- 'tdtng. afl1tn and canceling the stamp required - quired upon the bill of lading , and their failures to provide , af1x and cancel such k eta.mp subjects them to the penalties proc - c yided by law. " It Is a well known fact that the expreas tompanies paid a similar tax dufln the late lvil war. You say : "In the midst of conlctIn t Optniona we only desire to ascertain what the tnt.nt of the law really Is. and that. too , in thy' speediest and least expensive man- _ _ per. " It must be apparent that if the express Companies continue to require the people to pay this tax until a decision Is reached 'n ' the supreme court , if in favor of the people the greater per cent of the people will bare lost. as the indi'ridual claims will be too small to push for setUernent , At the same time the aregat gain to the express corn- panjes will be very great and they will have gained a victory even in defeat. .1 PoInt , Oul Their Duty.

If the supreme court decides In your favor the people will pay the tai without a mur- Iziur. if you have been unduly taxed under the lass I believe congress will amend the law if naked Wand that the commercial or- anizations of this country will join in ask- lag that relief. provided you first obey the law. law.There There has been no attempt to take away 1mm the express companies the constitutional - tional right of charging a ( air compensation for services rendered.

[ IUSINTSJ3 "Captan SwIft. " which the \Voodward Stock company present tha e'k. opening to two large audiences yesterday. is a strange play. but ito less strange than pe. culiar. The opening a introduces some features which have no apparent coanec- tion with the plot. though their pertinence is later apparent. Its end is not such as most playwrights would have wrought out. and indeed the audacious and clever ex- buabranger nould seem to have deserved a better fate than to die by hts own hand. if for no other reason than for hIs audacity. The story in brief is of an outcast son who drifts to Australia and becomes a bush. ranger-the terror of the country ; drifts back to England and becomes an adventurer - turer , falls In love and with it comes the awakening of his txtter selL Fate or fortune - tune brings him to the home of his mqtber who had cast him o as an infant o save her own reputation. Ills foster father , by whom as a boy he was cordially hated , Is a servant of the household. and being refused - fused money as the price cf his silence , betrays - trays him to the detective who is on his track. A returned Australian , Mr. Gardner. who had suffered from his predatory raids , is also a visitor at the home and a suitor for the hand of the daughter of the ex-bush- ranger's mother by a subsequent macnape. His first impulse 'was of enmity but later the audac.ous bearing of the ex-robber cap- tiyates him and he decides to save him if be can. His dIcultles are too great and the Only solution possible to prevent the unpleasant - pleasant ending of the exposure of his mother's past is for the hunted an to end his own life. It is a strong story. well wrought out. . Miss Kennark as Mrs. Sea- brook. t1e mother of the ex-bushranger , is one of the strongest characters ichlch has fallen to her lot. The meetin ; between mother and son when the relationship is revealed - vealed and the closing scene are both very strong amid effectively done. Mr. Montague is particularly suited to the title role and does the most clever thing of his engage- meat wi-tb the company. Hal Davis. as Mr. Gardner , the returned Queensland squatter. is natural and equal to the opportunities - tunities of the part. Virginia Vaughan aguin has a part which aftords her oppor- tunity. w'hicb is improved. for some clever work. Miss Berkely , Mr. Enos and the other meinbers of the company contrfbute their full share to make the performance enjoyable. The gentleman who his the selecting of the vaudeville menu at the Trocadero has succeeded this week in giving patrons a very palatable entertainment. The bill is evenly balanced. There is just enough variety to It to make it spIcy. VhIle several of the acts could not be called headliners by any stretch of the imagination , yet they blend in so nicely with the big acts that their crudities and shortcomings are not otfen- sively shown. Harwitz and Bowers , the travesty artists , and Frederick brothers and Tenny , musical comedians , aze easily the stellar attractions , with Howard's equtne paradox and Zoyarra , the equilibrist , close seconds. Messrs Harwita and Bowers pos- seas excellent singing voices and the songs of their repertoire are all of their own coin- position. "Because , " which is at present an eastern bit. ritten by Mr. Harwitz. is sung very feelingly by Mr. Bowers and ends a responsive - sponsive chord in the audience. These gen- tiernen's satire on "Camille" Is very clever. as Is also the piano recital of the woes of the young man whose best girl forsook him. The act of the Frederick brothers and Tenny as a musical act Is the best seen yet at this theater. They use a great var- kty of Instruments. Their execution is tin- ished. Their comedy is as bad as their playing is good. Howard's ponies. Daisy Bell , Sparkle. Gypsy and Pinto are wonderfully mmciii- gent anlinals who do all manner of clever things. W'btle they do not talk. two of them answer questions answered by yes erne no by nodd'ng their beads , and count by means of striking with their forefeet. One of them wrestles with its hostler. Zoyacra , billed as the equilibrist premier , proves his tItle in the ditticult ( eats he per. forms.

The colonel reports that be is greatly pleased with the accommodations offered by the citizens of the Alabama town and he Lt of the opinion that Huntsville is an ideal place for a cavalr3 camp. Colonel Grigaby and the remaining officers of the cavalry are partial to Huntsville and It Is more than probable that the entire brigade will be mored there in a very short time. Lieutenant - ant Way , the engineer otfieer , who is out ! ookin ; over the ground with a view of mnp- ping out a route for the practice march for the brigade. has not yet returned to camp , but it is stated that the first camping ground during the march wIll be just across the Tennessee river. The objective point selected - lected for the march is Huntsville. The gratifying report has been made by the surgeons that the measles has about been wiped out of the regiment and that th disease is now fully under the control of the physicians. There have been a large number - ber of the cases during the past few days and the otitcers are greatly relieved , now that the physicians have the disease in check. check.The The different troops of the regiment have begun placing board ioors in the tents and it i-s probable that the entire regiment will be ilcored in a very short time. A board floor will soon be placed in the hospital. These itoors are bonaldered an excellent in- vestment. as there is no doubt but that they prevent a large amount of sickness. DEATH RECORD.

The Done. Ionic and Corinthian. and although the Greek artists were more or less Influenced by the Egyptians and Aseyi-ians. they touched nothing that they did not beautify. The Dante column is the moat simple and massive of the three ; the Done style reached it. . perfection in the Parthenon. "the glory of Athens , and the wonder of the world , " The Greek architects - tects down to the tIme of Pericles show a marked preference for the Dorlc and Ionic orders. rather than for the more florId Cor' lnthian. The comparison of tbeDonlc , order to the Ionic has been likened to masculine strength compared teith feminine delIcacy and grace. At the east arid wCst ends of the lagoon the coionnade is composed of the simple. Sturdy , Dorm columns , with unadorned cap- Itais and having no bases. In the MInt and Mining building we see the delicate and graceful Tonic co1umn , with their slender shafts and capitals of beautiful spiral involutions. One of the most perfect and magnthcent examples of the Ionic style of architecture is the Erech- theium. a temple built on the Acropolis of Athens for the worship of Athene. Not only are the olumns of the Mines and Mm- tog building in the Ionic style. but all the ornamental detail Is In the same style and modeled after the luxuriant and rich decoration - ration of the Erechthetum. The columns to the lanterns at the coy- net's of the Mines and Mining building diner from the others. and are in the Corinthian style. , s Greece declined , her architectural style became more elaborate , and on the eve of Roman conquest the Corinthian style was in vogue. The capital of the Corinthian coiuinn-richer In detail than of those which hnd preceded it-la "a fanciful and ever- varied decoration of foliage around a concave - cave ealyx. " The columns supporting the Incandescent lights around the lagoon are in the pure Greek Corinthian style. Here we see united happily In marriage the see- end century before Christ to the nineteenth century after all its inventions. The column - umn represents the evolution of art. the incandescent - candescent lights. the evolution of science. The Romans were more conspicuous bar- rowera than were the Greeks. and in ornamental - mental detail they simply enlarged upon the Greek forms. In some of their capitals they have United the acantbtc.s capital of the Corinthian column 'withthevolutes of the Ionic. a combination suiting well the Roman love for excessive ornament In the ManU. factures building we find the Roman Dot-fe columns , the Roman ionic in the Govern- menu building and the Rottean CorinthIan in the Art building. The capitals of these columns are more ornate and occasionally more playfui than the Greek. We have a suggestion of Moorish arch- ! tecture in the Streets of Calm. the Moorish Palace and the Mystic Miize. The horseshoe - shoe arch and the wedge-shaped arch , rising first in the form of a semicircle and ending in a point : flat domes with sharply taperIng , or undulating convex outline.- gives evidence of the fantastic tendency of the Oriental mind. The exteriors of Moorish buidiog3 ! are bold and plain. the interior is covered with brilliant decoration. so that one is reminded of the gorgeous textile fabrica hung upon the walls of mosques and palaces. The Moorish artists reveled in interlacing arabesque decorations , th effect of which is heightened by a brilliant coloring of red , blue. green and gold. This effect l.a sug- geated by a glimpse of the Mystic Maze. Different epochs in the world's history have expressed themselves in the character of the architecture and these expressions are called styles. Generally they were a true expression of the characteristics and pa- culiartties of the people of the period and changed with the requirements of the pea- pie and the place , but not as some suppose , with the season as styles do in sleeves. The Renaissance-in the fifteenth century- was a re-birth of the old Roman and elassi- cal forms ; and it is in this style that the buildings about the lagoon court. in the main , are built. The columns on the Liberal - eral Arts building differ from the Greek or Roman CorinthIan ; they are in the lighter Italian Renaissance style. The evolution of the column is an intereat- lug study ; what man baa achieved in the past Is at once the inspiration and the harbinger - binger of what he shall achieve in the future. ETHEL EVANS. A LITTEt GIRL'S VISIT TO e TilL EXPOSITION. Dear Mr. Editor I wasn't sure that you would get home in time for Children's day at the exposition , as I bad noticed by the paper that you were out of town. I thought I would go out real early , so I would be able to tell you all about it. ii looked so cloudy early in the morning that I sas afraid the children would be dis. appointed and some of theta would think that they would have to stay at home on account of the rain. But I don't believe they dId. for everybody was there , and then , you know. we Nebraska boys and girls ain't afraid of water , anyhow. When the train arrived I got close to the gates , so I could see them when they came in' It was a grand sight. Everybody was dressed in their best Sunday clothes and the children all bad a smile that told how much they had looked for'ard to this day. I am sure they did nor go home disappointed - pointed ; and , say. Mr. Editor.

All of the mixtures of the Indian medicine cheat were tried. but they failed to afford the relief sought. A Red Cross wagon call was turned in and Mrs. lluffalo was carted down to the hospital. She was put to bed and the usual remedies were prescribed. In less than halt an hour the woman was able to walk back to the camp. The cure of Mi's. Buffalo was a signal for all of the sick Indians to begin an attack - tack upon the hospital and from noon un- UI late at night Dra. Strader and Campbell - bell had all that they could do. Comes in a Hurry was the first Indian to go upon the operating table. He was dancing around the camp , having about the same action of a man who imbibed too freely of Mountain Dew. He could not tell what ailed him , but merely pointed to his head. After sticking one of his index fingers into his ear he let out a howl loud enough to drown the sound of the spielers at the conces- sions. Running at race horse speed from the Indian camp. Comes in a Hurry made a beeline for the hospital and grabbing one of the doctors pointed to his own ear. The Indian was flopped upon the operating table - ble and an instant later both doctors were probing his ear. Continuing their investigations - gations they drew out a bug fully an inch long. It had crawled into Mr. Hurry's ear while he was lying on the straw in his tent. tent.Late Late last night a party of ten Indians. including one man , four women and five children , called at the hospital. all having ailments. They were treated and returned to the camp happy. If the rush of bust- ness continues the hospital authorities are of the opi ion that the building will have to be enlarged before the end of the week. So successful have Drs. Strader and Campbell been in curing Indians that they have been designated as the Dig Medicine men and have been named W'hehaty Koil- tan Ishisi , or They Who Cure Every Time.

Stcrrett , president and executive director of the Missouri commission to the Transmia- sissippi expositon at Omaha , has written a letter to the president of the exposition canceling "Missouri Day , " which had been Set for August 20. The program had been arranged and the Missouri commission were awaiting a 1-cent a mile rate from the railroads before announcing it. Instead of that rate. Mr. Sterrett wrote. the railroads would only make a rate of one fare ( or the round trip so it has been decIded to declare off "Missouri Day. " "If the conditions should hereafter seem more favorable. " concluded Mr. Sterreti , "another day can be fixed for 'Missouri Day , ' but if as good results can be obtained by working up attendance on several different days for particular localities we will , Ia either case. do all In our power to have as large a Missouri attendance as possible.
