The Legend of Don Munio.

This very interesting cantata, which
will be rendered by the Watertown Chorus
class under the direction of g. s. Hawley
at Turner Hall, Thursday evening, April
26, is by Dudley Buck. The scene is laid
in Spain at the time OF the Crusades and
of the wars between the Christians and
Moslems for supremacy in southern Eu-
rope. Munlo is Spanish nobleman, who
with his retinue wages war against the
hated Moslem and is finally killed by the
Moslem Prince, Abadil. The cantata is
replete with beautiful acts, startling and
interesting in effect, and abounds in fine
choruses and solos, depicting various
scenes of the stirring period in the worlds
history of which the cantata treats. Moth
of finer character in the line of mu-
steal entertainment has ever been present.

appeared, every one should make special
effort to remove all filth and refuse mat
ter that has accumulated through the
winter months. Particular attention
should be given to drains and privy
vaults. See that they are we'll cleaned
and properly disinfected. One pound OF
coperas dissolved in pailful of water is
an excellent disinfectant Also look to the
alley ways and yards, gather together and
burn everything that will burn. Ii every
one will take pride in having their pre-
misses in more clearly condition than

Saved from Drowning by a Little
Heroine.

Saturday afternoon last little Woods
boy, years old, grandchild of John Noon
while playing with some children at his
home in the Third ward, fell into els
tern containing about five feet of water.
The alarm brought several men to the res
cue, and it being found that the opening to
the cistern was too small to admit of a
grown person entering it, Kittie, the
12-year-old daughter of John Williams
with the bravery of a true heroine, and
at the risk of her own life, allowed her
self to be lowered into the cistern with a
rope around her waist. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty that the little fellow
was rescued and when taken up life was
thought to be extinct, as he had sunk
three or four times before his courageous
little deliverer could grasp him. DR.. F.
c. Werner was called Immediately and
means were promptly used for the boys
resuscitation, which happily was success
full and the little boy is now all right.
The little fellow owes his life to the pluck
and cou rage displayed by Kittie Williams
and her perilous act stamps her as gen
uine heroine.

Among the Law-breakers," is the
theme chosen by Hon. G. R. Field for his
lecture in the Y. NJ G. A. course at the
association rooms, Friday evening of this
week As member of the legislative
committee upon prison labor, Mr.. Field
had occasion to visit half dozensor more
of the principal state prisons of the coun-
try, which gives him an opportunity of
speaking understandingly on this inter
esting subject.
The lecture in the Y. M. G. A. course
by Rev. j. M Campbell last Friday even
ing, upon the subject of ga Man With
out a Conscience" was one of the most
interesting OF the series. The speaker
gave a close analysis of a conscience,
which is the connecting link between a
man and his Maker, the mans inward
monitor. Soul is his life, conscience his
bar. One great difference between man
and the animal is that man is amenable
to conscience while the animal is not.
The speaker held that an enlightened
conscience in its accountability was very
different from an ignorant conscience. A
seered conscience is the next thing to
man bereft of a conscience, in practical
effect The large audience present APP
peared to be thoroughly interested in the
subject throughout.

BOISE CITY, Idaho, April IS, 'SS.
To the District Attorneys and ASSESSORS of the
Several Counties:
Gentlemen-Your attention is re-
spectfully called to the provisions OF
Chapter Four Of Title Ten Of the
Political Code as to the assessment of
property for taxation.
Section 1425 expressly requires
that all taxable property shall be as.
sessed AT ITS FULL CASH VALUE, and
that Cha pter gives ample power to
the Assessor to enable him to ascer-
tain all taxable property in his county,
while Section 1870 prescribes very
stringent affidavit to be taken by
the taxpayer, and Section 1892 au-
thorizes the Assessor to subpoena and
examine witnesses, SO that in most
cases any omission must be "through
his williul failure or neglect" within
the terms of Section 1857, and sub
ject the Assessor and his sureties to
the penalties of that and the succeed
ing sections.
1t is notorious that Assessors in any
counties avo vedly assess both real
and personal property, and in some
cases even money and public and
other securities, at forty-hve or fifty
per cent. of their known and &C.
knowledged cash value. Such course
is in direct violation of the official
duty of Assessors and no such officer
can truthfully make oath to his assess.

of the Revised Statutes.
If such wiliul violati.n OF plain Of
fetal duty is persisted in and the dis
graceful evasions of law shown by
the assessments Of last year are At
tempted to be repeated this
year, it will become the duty
of the District Attorney to COM
mence All action to remove any such
Assessor from office as provided by r.
S. 1906, and in proper case to in.
st.tute criminal proceedings and an
action against the officer and his
surities under r. S. 1457 aud subse-
quent provisions.
District Attorneys will please report

some dishonesty against the general.
1t was q hot debate. We Democrats
stood aloof and observed it, not with
out some satisfaction. 1t began, as a
great many Of these troubles do in
Congress, about the report Of the
debate. Mr.. Conkling charged Blaine
with frivolous impertinence in putting
into the debate an imputation upon
his motives. 1t ended some time in
April, 1866, about this time twenty.
two years ago. But it was renewed
on the last day Of April.
sit was aterrihc encounter between
two men who were thoroughly iron.
clad by that time. 1t began on that
day with demand from Mr.. Blaine
to have Gen. Fry's letter read. Mr..
Blaine contemptuously referred to
Mr.. Conkling as the member from
the Utica district Then the debate
began. Mr.. Conkling, in his measured,
quiet, sardonio tone and humor, threw
his hot shot upon the member from
Maine. Of course, we Democrats en-.
joyed it. The debate showed Mr..
Conkling in his best light of repartee,
so far as the House was concerned
Several gentlemen interposed to stop,
if they could, the blows that were
given and taken, but Mr.. Blaine, who
was skilled in the dialectics and rules
OF the House, got the last word; and,
after repelling what he called the
cruel sarcasm in which MIR. Conk.
ling was ar expert, he hoped that
he would not be too severe in that
mode of handling his innocen,
self. The contempt of that large.
minded gentleman is so willing, his
naughty disdain, his grandiloquent
swell, his majestic, supereminent
overpowering, turkey. gobbler stru,
has been SO crushing to myself and al
the members Of this house that
know it was an act Of the creates,
temerity for me to venture upon ,
controversy with him.
"Then Mr.. Blaine referred to tn,
man whom supposed to be the mos
eloquent: orator have met in Congress
Henry Winters Davis. He refer
red to the 'little jocose satire of The
odore Tilton,-that the mantle o
Davis had fallen upon the gentleman
from New York, and that that gen
tleman had taken it seriously and i
had given IAN additional strut to hi
pomposity.' 1T is striking said Nj
Blaine, Hyperion to Satyr, Thersite
to Hercules. mud to marble, dunghil
to diamond, singed cat to BenRa
tiger, a whining puppy to a roaring
lion.' These phrases have never bee
repeated in the house with so niue
vindictive animosi,y. But the Dem
ecrat enjoyed it. TWAS not thei
