The labors Of the city equalizing
Of assessment board, consisting of May
or Sterrett, Assessor Wilson and Re-
corder Skillman, result in adding to the
taxable personal property about $ll0,.
900. This augmentation consists prin-
cipally in mortgages unreturned by the
holders, and some persons are fellcitat-
ing themselves with the idea that the
rich men who hold the mortgages will
haveathe additional taxes to pay. Vain
delusion !! They will make those who
borrow their money pay such taxes, in
every instance. and will not themselves
be made penny poorer. TO Us this
plan of taxes mortgages looks like in.

We notice that MIR. Setback is
building residence on the southeast
corner of Park and Thirteenth streets,
diagonally opposite the new Presbyter-
ian mission church. 1t is to be a two
story frame with a good cellar, and is
intended for a tenement dwelling. By
the way, why do not the owners of va
can't lots nearer the business centers i'm
prove them with small tenement houses?
These might be built double, each suite
containing five or six rooms, at very
little expense, and they could, no doubt,
be rented readily and be made paying
Investments, for we know that there is
a very considerable demand for such
houses by the working people cf che city
for whom the cheap suburban dwellings
are too remote from their places of EN-
ployment.

ornamental house yards, which
can be made with very little expense by
sodding, keeping free from weeds and
arranging with fower-beds and walks,
will greatly improve the appearance Of
property and, also, add considerably to
it's value. When with these we com.
bine, what is equally desirable, wide,
well graded and handsome streets, bor-
dered with substantial sidewalks and
fringed with shade-trees on each side,
we not only give an appearance Of COM
fort to the city, but contribute to the
creation Of a refining moral influence
that is highly beneficial. This tends,
likewise, to developing a taste for
aesthetics in all who are so surrounded,
and will ultimately produce physical
and moral excellences and beauties in
the growing generations, if proper reli-
gious and intellectual training is brought
to hear as auxiliary influences.

About two weeks ago the barn Of
Mr.. J. 0, Strandnes, Of Spring Greek,
was struck by lightning and burned to-.
gether with its contents. Mr.. Strand
mes was recently Of the firm of Simmons
g. Strandnes, of this city, and had but
a short time before the accident removed
with his family to Spring Creek. Be-
cause the residence he occupies there
was not sufficiently large to accommo
date his household effects, he had stored
his best furniture in the barn until he
could build additional apartments, and
the result is that he lost it ali by the
fire. The same stroke of lightning that
destroyed his barn also shocked him Sc !.
verely as he was sitting in his store
some sixty or a hundred feet distant. !,

justice. The mortgages are not prop
erty. They do not, like railroad, bank,
or manufacturing companies stock, rep
resent values, but arc simply evidences
of Indebtedness. The debts they secure
are investments in property, and such
property itself is taxed. Hence, the
taxing of mortgages is do"ble taxa
ton of the same value on property. If
the rich really paid this duplicate tax
the community would have no cause to
grumble, but they do not. 1t all comes
out of the borrower, and the effect is to
compel the poor man, who has to mort
gage his property, pay tax upon such
property and, also, upon the money he
borrows.

One of the handsomest improve
ments in this city is that on the SOUTH
west corner Of Main and Franklin
streets, inclosing the lots upon which
stand the residences Of Messrs. ]. NJ.
and Henry Hodgumn. These lots arc
some three Or four feet above the grade
If the street and are tastefully orna-
mented with shrubbery, and the DWELL
ings are both excellent buildings. But
the Improvements to which we now es-
pecially desire to call attention consist,
first, Of a beautiful iron wire fence,
mounted upon a stone base, the latter
rising nearly to the level Of the yards
and surmounted with coping or water
shed. The fence is very light and the
yard behind it rises at an angle of about
forty-tive degrees above the top Of the
stone base to-. perhaps, che third the
height of the wire fence and is finely
sodded. In front and on the Franklin
street side of the lot of Mr.. J. NJ. Hodg-
man he has made, just outside Of the
sidewalk, Enclosures about six feet wide,
protected by a fence formed of stone
base, say sixteen inches high, from
which at intervals Of about six feet, rise
iron rods supporting two lig hit wooden
rails. These Enclosures are beautifully
sodded and ut proper distances along the
middle Of them ornamental shade trees
are planted. Such embellishments, a.
though not very expensive, add greatly
to the beauty Of the property and are
deservedly admired.

There has always been a difficulty in

horses in their possession were also Sc.

Numerous parties are implicated, and
other arrests will be made and the gang,

The Justification Concerning
the Reported Capture Of
BainOki Pass by
the Turks.
The Attack en- Shipks Pass-It is
Deemed Impossible to
Take It.
The Hostile Tone Of the German
Semi-0facial Press Toward
Turkey.

LONDON, August 24.-The Daily News
correspondent at Russian headquarters
explains the mystifcation which has
arisen concerning the reported capture
of Bainkoi Pass by the Turks. He says
that on the 10th a column Of Suleiman
Pasha's forces attempted strenuously to
force the pass. 1t has been reported
they were successful, but though the
column did indeed force its way into o
defle, it was there soroughly handled by
the Russian artillery and by a regiment
holding the pass that it was compelled
to retire.
The Times Vienna correspondent re-
marks, relative to the attack of Shipka
pass, that all along the main range Of
the Balkans, especially along the Tundja
valley, the face Of the mountains is pre-.
oipitons rock, through which the road
leads up in steep curves. However,
much OF The bulk OF Sulelman Pasha's
forces may have been Injured to mountain
warfare, and however heroic the efforts
made within the last few days may have
been, it will be little short OF a miracle
if they should ultimately succeed in car.
rying the pass.
Several special dispatches remark the
hostile tone of the German s~emi.oficial
press toward Turkey. The Turkish EN-.
bassy at Berlin, having through a tele
graphic agency csntradicted the report
that the perpetrators Of the Ssloniea
massacre have been released. the minis
%terisl Novodeut5che expressly begs to
observe that the statements put forward
by the Turkish foreign department are
n%otoriously untrustwortby.
