A visit to the City Assessor and Collectors
Office yesterday was productive of II few items
of interest to the tax'ppying community as
regards the necessary wherewith for
the proper running of tho munic'
pal machinery for the coming year. The as
sessment of property has been completed,
and is a little less in the aggregate than the
assessment last year. This is accounted for
by the fact of smaller amounts Of merchan-
disc and personal property being rendered
this year than last. The real estate ASSESS
ment exceeds that of last year. Nearly
all of our merchants at the
time of rendering their stocks of goods
for assessment last year had larger stocks on
hand than NJ the time of rendering this Year
This is an evidence ofincreased business pros.
perity in Dallas, the quick and extensive
sales Of merchandise being more observa-
bic this year than at any time heretofore.
Another reason why tho assessment is less
this year than last Is that the poll.tax roll
represents three hundred persons less than
last year, by reason of the non-assessment of
a class Of people from whom it has hereto
fore been impossible to collect anything, and
who only appear ms an insolvent element on
the city tax rolls. These three hundred per-
sons, when on the tax roll, appear as repre-
senting an item equal to $4,000 actual val
uation of assessable property on which the
tax is collcctabe. The people referred to
aro nearly all negroes residing in certain OF
the city suburbs.
In order to keep up with the expenses of
the city, pay arrearages and avoid going in
debt, il is believed the rate of taxation will
have to be slightly increased the coming year
one aud one-fourth per cent being the rate
that it is thought will be necessary to levy tc
meet all necessities The City Council
meets in adjourned session tonight to con-
slider the tax-levy, it having been mad thu
special order on adjournment. Thursday

Parties from the Stakcd Plains report
droves Of wild horses and buffalo ON their
way southwark, in numbers larger than has
been witnessed for tho past three years,
This is taken by the stockmen as q sure ind-
cation that the pasturago in the upper plains
are backward rnd unpromising, and that the
game for the rifle and asso Is be-
ing driven southwark in search of water
by drouth. Several droves, estimated at
from three to five thousand in number, were
seen during a three days stay, besides numer-
GUS and frequent "bunches" Of horses and
buffalo. In one Of the droves horse cup
arsoned with government outfit, was no.
tced, but the animal, although chased, could
not be approached within rifle distance. How
long the animal had been with tho drove is
not known, but judging by tho rig, il was
generally thought he came with the drove
from tho upper plains.

manifestations Of admiration incident to thu
retirement of the beloved chief from com
mand of gallant frontiersmen. The activit,
