A HANDY HANGMAN,

The interest in the approaching execution
Of Bill Rivers, the Wife-murderer, grows

So far as springing the trap is concerned, the

SPEAKING FIGURES.
How Memphis Stands in the Roll Of the
Various Cities of the United
States.
A Comparative Statement of the POpu-
lation, Property and Rates Of
Other Cities.

In order that the people of Memphis might
know their value in comparison with the
other cities of the United States, an APPEAL
reporter called on Mr.. Charles L. PulIeu,
clerk OF the Legislative Council. several days
ago, and asked him il he could furnish the
necessary statistics. He replied that the
only way to do so was TO correspond with the
clerical department of each city individually,
and offered to undertake the task, at the re-
quest OF the APPEAL He accordingly
placed himself in correspondence with the
clerks OF the city councils in all the promi-
nent cities OF the country, and submitted 10
them certain questions to be answered. As
the reply OF each city came in, he jotted it
down and arranged ii in regular order, so as
compilation and arrange ment of the annexed
table is due TO him. The table is eminentIy
worthy of the study OF the people of this city.
Every day the citizens are growing more
awake to the fact that the assessment
system in Memphis is wrong. Yesterday an
APPEAL reporter heard a well-known law
yer say that the appointment of assessors
who were to serve for only few
weeks, and whom the people wanted to get
wrong; there should be a regular
assessor elected for. say, four years,
with a capable corps of assistants The re-
porter further heard that there was 81 ,OOO,-
600 capital ready to come to Memphis when
the debt should be satisfactorily arranged.
What deters capital at present is the rate of
taxation. A capitalist is told that the rate
here is probably per cant. He does not
know that the property is assessed at only
one fourth Of its real value, and that the
actual rate per cent. is only three quarters
of one per cent. In view of these facts the
following figures are eloquent: The total
rate of taxation for Memphis is 2:95. Chi
cago, the great wide-awake city of the
Northwest, has rate of :571. Cleveland,
the coming city of Ohio, the iron center, is
quoted at :S6. Kansas City stands at 3:75,
Charleston, S. c., at $40, Savannah at 3:75,
Little Rock at 80, Vicksburg at 3:75, Gal
weston at 100, Shreveport at $40, and Nash
vile at 800. These are the only cities
whose rate OF taxation exceeds Memphis

Nerve and Brain Treatment,

Every year some new discovery is made
which mitigates the ills OF life and lightens
the burden OF human woe. Medical science
is ever at work seeking to repair the dam
ages constantly recurring to poor human crea-
lures. OF late years the best thought Of
medical science has been directed toward the
prevention and cure of nerve and brain dis
eases. Probably in the entire range of
remedial agencies of this character nothing
has ever been presented to the public that
has wrought such wonderful cures has the
nerve and brain treatment OF DR.. f. G. West.
1t has come to be known all over the land az
an unfailing specific for all kinds OF mental
maladies; from an sgxravatiDg headache TO
incipient paralysis. DR.. West, in his treat
ment OF the brain and nerves, proceeds upon
the principle that the brain has its patho-
logical anatomy, exactly as all the organs of
the human economy have, and the pathology
of the brain has its special series of symp-
toms, just as other organs have theirs. DIR.
West has made the subject profound study,
and by scientific analysis and experiments
has discovered remedy, which, by re-estab-
fishing the normal organic condition Of the
brain and nerves, restores their function and
brings them into state of health and ac-
