NEW OCCUPATION
m -xr t a ttt
JAIWWI
Many CUangs Made in the
New Schedals of Taxable
Callings.
Th8 new occupation tax law
which went into effect on Sep
tember 20, 1897, makes many
changes as compared with the
told law and includes a number
of lines of bnsiness not here
tofore classified under the oc
cupation tax. In addition to
seventeen different classes of
business and professions now
enumerated as taxable under
the nex schedule there are
changes in the old list too num-
lerous to mention. These
changes are in the way of in
crease and decrease in amounts
of the state and county tax,
but the majority of the changes
from the old schedule are on
the increased side. Yet there
are many reductions, which
will bring joy to -the heait of
the taxpayer when he learns of
the shaving of the assessment
on his profession or particular
line of trade.
Another important departure
is in the term of payment of
the occupation tax. Under the
old law it was optional with the
taxpayer whether he paid
quarterly or yearly in many
instances, while in some class
es the taxes were required to
be paid annually. Under the
new law all taxes must be paid
annually, invariably in ad
vance, of course, and no occu
paiion license is issued for less
ttan one year. An act has been
introduced into the general law
which provides for the punish
ment of delinquent taxpayers,
which reads as follows:
"Article 112 (110) Penal
Code, page 21, R. S : Any per
son who shall pursue or follow
any occupation, calling- or pro
fession, or do any act taxed by
law without first obtaining a
license therefor shall be fined
in any sum not less than the
amount of the taxes due and
not more than double the same.
This fine does not relieve the
delinquent from the tax due,
bat is in addition."
The list of the seventeen new
occupations and professions
which now appear as taxable
under the new law forms an in
teresting collection. About tb
only important item, however,
in the new list as respects the
increase of revenue from this
source to the state and county
is cigarrete dealers. Every per
son or firm handling cigarettes
for sale are required to pay thj
tax, which, while not so very
heavy, will aggregate a neat

KILLED BY A CAVE-IN.
SEVENTEEN MEN 1.0ST
THEIR U.VES IN A JUNE.
Unfortunates Were Buried Alive
Under Tliirty Feet of Bock
and Dirt.
El Paso, Texas,, September
25 News was received here
tonight that the San Pedro
mine, in "the Carolitas group,
twelve miles from here, in Mex
ico, caved in today, killing: sev
enteen men who were at work
in the mine at the time. Th
unfortunates, says the report,
were buried alive under thirty
feet of rock and dirt.
The San Pedro is one of the
oldest mines in the group and
is rich with silver. It is the
property of tho wealthy Caro
litas company, the principal
stockholders of which reside in
New York. President Terry
of the Rio Grande, Sierra Ma
dre and Pacific road, and J.
Higgins, both of New York,
are stockholders. If the mine
was not timbered the Mexican
government will impose a
heavy fine on the company on
account of the wholesale kill
ing. LANKY BOB'S -

Bombay, Sept 24. The lat

A DUEL AT VIENNA.
The Austrian Premier Wound
ed by a Pistol Shot.
Vienna, Sept. 25. A pistol
duel was fought this- morning
between Count Badeni, the
Austrian premier, and Dr.
Wolff, the German nstionalist
leader, arising from insults ad
dressed by the latter to the
premier during yesterday's ses
sion of the unterhaus. Count
Badeni was wounded in the
right hand.
Dr. WolrT fought a duel with
swords on May 8 last with
Herr Horiea, a Czech member
of the unterhaus. This en
counter grew out of the violent
scenes which occurred in the
house between the German
and Czechs, in which personal
ities were freely Indulged in.
Count Badeni was formerly
governor of Galicia, is a young
and able Pole and was verv
little known even in Austria
until he was unexpectedly call
ed upon to form a cabinet in
'September, 1895, when he as-
sumed the duties of minister of
interior. , His nobility dates
back to his father. His moth
er's brother, a Count Mier,
married the famous German
actress, Anna Wierer, who
eventually left her large for
tune to her two nephews,
Count Casimir Badeni, the
present premier of Austria,
and to his younger brother.
Count Badeni's wound is not
serious. The bullet entered
the wrist and went out above
the elbow.
Dr. Wolff's charge of rascal
ity was the cause of the duel.
Smoothbore pistols were used
and three were to be fired at
twenty-five paces. Count Ba
deni was wounded at the first
fire The wound does not
prevent him from .transacting
business. The emperor has
telegraphed expressions of
warmest sympathy and has re
quested hourly information
concerning the condition of the
wounded man.

Syndicate to- Take Japan's
Gold asJ Fast as It Is
Minted in Exchange k

Sar Francisco, Cal., Sept.
The steamship City of Pelcm
brings the following news from
China and Japan:
Russia has obtained' from
the Korean Cabinet permis
sion to use a part of Zetsui Js
lanct as a ,coal: depot. Japan
already occupies', a larger por
tion of the island. .
It is stated by the Japanese
newspapers that the Chinese
have formed a syndicate and
are Buying fn all of the silver
obtainable, ih anticipation of
the adopdon of the gold'stand
ard after October r. It is
feared that sufficient silver
may be collected, when Hongf
Kong and Singapore are taken
into consideration, to purchase
all the gold coins minted: T-he
Government is alarmed at tKe
prospect and is studying to
avert the catastrophe.
Some advise it to stop tlie
exchange altogether, while'
others suggest that a? restrict
tion should be placed on the
aggregate amount ot the ex
change, and this should not
exceed 50,000 yen daily.
