BREWING CO, BOOTLESS 01 AID STOVES YOID INCOME TAX LAW, Declared Unconstitutional and valid by the United States Supreme Court. Court Stood Five to Four Dissenting Opinions Telegraphio Order of (Jomr. Miller to Collectors. Washington, May 20. The conclusion of the co art in the income tax case is as follows: First, we adhere to the opinion already announced that taxes on real estate are indisputably direot tares, and that -taxes on rents or tre y .-. jae of real estate are equally direot taxes. Second, we are of the opinion that taxes on personal property or on the in come of personal property are likewise direct taxes. Third, the taxes imposed by sections 27 to 87, inclusive, of the act of 1894, so far as they fall on theinoomeof real estate and on personal property, being direot taxes within the meaning of the constitu tion, are therefore unconstitutional and void, because not apportioned according to representation. AH those sections, constituting one entire scheme of tax ation, are necessarily invalid. The deorees hereinbefore entered in this court will be vacated. The decrees be low will be reversed and the oases re manded with instructions to grant the relief prayed. Beotions 27 to 87 of the tariff act of 1894, referred to in the oonolusion of the court, are all the sections of the act re lating to the income tax, so that the en tire income tax law is declared void specifically. The justioes against the law were Chief J ustice Fuller and Justices Gray, Field, Brewer and Shiras; for the law, Justices Harlan, White, Brown and Jackson,. Justices Harlan, Jackson and Brown read dissenting opinions. ooMMissiONKB millib's instbuctions.

While no action has yet been taken, it is almost certain chat Internal Revenue Commis sioner Miller, as soon as he is officially informed of the courts' decision, will take steps to refund all its collections.

Kim ki Rogers is dead. He passed over the dark river at 6 o'olook this morning at his home in Golden. Several tele grams came from Cerrillos to friends here this forenoon bringing the news, and on every hand the announcement was re ceived coupled with expressions of sin cere, regret. As railroad builder, cattle raiser and mirer few men in the south west were more popular than Alex. Rogers. He was foil of pluck and energy, with the happiest disposition imaginable, and the very essence of generosity. Death was the result of a hemorrhage. He had been ill for ten days past, though was about bis business as usual until yes terday. He leaves a wife and one child. He was about 51 years old. His relatives in Ohio have been notified. The deceased waa a native of Chilli cothe, Ohio, and after his mother died he earned a living peddling shavings and kindling wood. A philanthropic family took him up and gave him a primary schooling, and when the war broke out he ran away at the age of 14 and enlisted in an Ohio regiment as a drummer boy. He served faithfully. One day Gen. Sher man saw him in camp, and surprised at his youthful appearance, inquired what he was "doing with that gnn?" "I am a sol dier," said Rogers, and his demeanor was such that the general soon ordered him on duty es messenger at staff headquar ters. After the war Rogers began railroad ing and became a contractor, first at St. Louis then in Colorado, Mexico and New Mexico. He was captain of the A., T. Sc S. F. forces who fought the D. it R. G. employes and got possession of the Grand canon in Colorado. While work ing Chinese laborers on Mexican rail roads he got the nick-name of "Kim-ki." In the 80s he was in the cattle business at Engle and in 1882 he was worth a olean $100,000. Then he went back to Chilli cothe, Ohio, and settled some old scores with people who had not treated him kindly in his younger days. For five years past he had been manager of the Sandia mines and smelter in northern Bernalillo and south Santa Fe counties. His estate is now rated at between $15,0L0 and $20,000. Murderer Arrested.

WILDE AGAIN AT LARGE. Postponement of His Henriniz Till After Taylor's Ti3it - t'liuiice of His Conviction. . London, May 20. The old Bailey oonrt wbb crowded to-day when Justice Wills took his seat upon the bench preparatory to the second trial of Osoar Wilde, oharged with serious misdemeanors. Wilde looked haggard, but had appar ently, improved in health since his re lease on bail and walked smilingly into the prisoner's dock, where he took his stand beside Alfred Taylor, charged with similar offenses. Sir Edward Clark, Q. C, counsel for Wilde, made an elaborate argument in favor of having Wilde tried separately. The judge agreed to this and deoided to try Taylor first. Sir Edward Clarke then dwelt at length on the great injury done to his client in having to wait while Alfred Taylor was tried, but, in spite of his argument, Wilde looked only too pleased as he stepped from the dook and the judge allowed the bail to be renewed. It iB now probable that Wilde's case will go over until the next session of the central oriminal court and there is evidently but a slight chance of his oonviotion. more Labor Troubles Cleveland, Ohio, May 20.

The scheme to develop a water power in the Rio Grande White Rock ennon and run an electric road from the rivtr bank up to the Cochiti mining camp is one of the biggest propositions ever undertaken in New Mexico, and is at the same time one that is entirely feasible and practic able. The chief promoter of the enter prise, of which notice was made in our news columns Sunday morning, ia Mr. Herman Claussen, proprietor of the Pal ace hotel in Santa Fe, who is known to be one of the most practical nnd energetic business men in the territory. The mat ter is not one that he has taken up hastily or without consideration, for he has been carefully investigating the affair for fully a year past, and during that time has had all the necessary surveying done to de monstrate the practicability of the enter prise and mnko an approximate estimnto of the coBt of the work, nnd has seenred the backing of parties in Germany who are amply able to put in all the capital required. A town is to be laid out abont six miles above the Cochiti pnoblo, and. with a rail road from there up to the mines it is con templated that all the ores from the Co chiti district will be worked at that point. Negotiations aro already going on with two companies to put up red net i ou works and by the time the railroad is ready to briug the ores the works will be ready to treat them. Unlike some western schemes this is not a "paper" enterprise; the cost has been carefully counted, the money to start it has been put up nn) balance to be required is "in sight."

Over all diseases caused by or arising from Impure blood, Hood's Sarsaparilla seems to have almost magical control. Please read the following frank L'tter Of Mr. Freeby, voluntarily endorsed Cy the Postmaster and Druggist of tho town: "C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: " My wife sprained her ankle ten year ago. It apparently got well, being a little larger than the other ankle. Three years ago last spring a sore broke out on her knee, then on her ankle, and a third one en her foot, which became Large Running Ulcere and the doctor of this place could not do anything to benefit my wife's case. We moved to Los Angeles by the advice ot the doctor and had other physicians. I then took my wife to the hospital, and the surgeons scraped all the flesh around the ores. They almost healed up, but soon after, two little specks came, one on each ide of the first sore. The doctors said they would not amount to anything, but In a few days they turned out to be more ulcers, and in a short time they had eaten into the original sore and made a big wound. The surgeon decided an Operation Must Be Performed. My wife would not consent to this so we rested matters for a few days. Happening to meet another physician who said he could cure her limb in four weeks we con sented to have him treat the case. After he had doctored five months there wers even ulcers in place ot one when he com menced. He finally said my wife would never get well. I was about discouraged, and I went home and threw away all the salves and medicines and decided to have her try a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Besides giving her this medicine we ban- flood's5 Cures daged her foot in steeped leaves and roots and continued this treatment for five months. At the end of that time she ha4 taken eleven bottles of Hood's Sareapa rilla, the sores were all healed and She Is Perfectly Well I tell everyone what Hood's Sarsaparilla has done for my wife and advise all afflio ted to try it.
