OGlc1al BuSlAeSs
BOISE CITY, Idaho, April IS, 'SS.
To the District Attorneys and Assessors Of the
Several Counties:
Gentl.men-Your attention is re-
spectlully 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, amt
that Chapter gives ample power to
the Assessor to enable him to ascer-
tain all taxable property in his county,
while Section l430 prescribes a very
stringent affidavit to be taken by
the taxpayer, and Section 1872 au-
thorizcs the Assessor to subpoena and
examine witnesses, SO that III most
cases any omission must be "through
his will. al failure or neglect" within
the terms of Section 1857, and sub
iect the Assessor and his sure,ies to
the penalties of that and the succeed
ing sections.
1t is notorious that Assessors in any
counties avowedly assess both real
and personal property, and in some
cases even money and public aud
other securities, at fortytive or fifty
per c mt. of their known aid ac
knowledged cash value. Such course
is in direct violation Of the official
duty of Assessors and no such officer
can truthfully make cath to his assess
ment book as required by Section l45a
of the Revised Statutes.
If such wilful 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 du',
of the District Attorney to com
mence ali action to remove any such
Assessor from Office as provided bv K
S. 1906, and IN proper case to in
st.tute criminal proceedings and ar
action against the officer and ms
suri,ies under r. S. 1877 AMI subse
quent provisions.
District Attorneys will please rcpor
to this Office the condition Of this apt
all other public business intrusted t.
their charge, at twelve o'cl' OK noon
on the FIRST day of June next, as pro
vided by subdivision 8 Of Section 23'
r. 5.
Very respectfully,
RICHARD Il. JOHNSON,
Attorney Genera.

A lady friend sends in request
which can be best voiced by using her
own language which is as follows:
Mr.. Editor: A lady wants to say a
few words to the grocery merchants,
and really it is delicate subject to
handle. You know it is near the
time when our grocerymen set their
vegetables outside on the pavement,
and do you know there are many tall
dogs in town, and and it operates as
though they drank from Saratoga
medical springs. Now, Mr.. Editor,
YOU must know what mean to say,
and if you will hell me out you will
do the public great favor. What
we want is the vegetables in boxes,
or in other words, "above highwater
mark" For the good Of women and
mankind, the grocers will please at
tend to it. Those wire screens they
use over baskets and barrels are not
swater tight" This is a delicate
matter, hut, you know when lady
goes shopping for cabbage and beets
she doesn't like to be Obliged to get
peas also. Please put it in shape SO
ms to offend nobody.

4 RaGc!ler Patents Ill lnyeEtiOn for rs
Cure.
Virginia (Nevl Chroncle.l
A patent has been obtained by
James G. Bray Of Mason valley for an
instrument to relieve cattle of "bloat"
produced from feeding on green al
falia. The instrument is double
tube which is forced into the side of
cattle and allows the gas generated to
pass out Of their "paunches."
The inventor claims that tests
made on the most hopeless cases Of
blo,t have afforded instant relief and
saved the lives Of the animals eX-
pclmcnted upon.
Alfalfa boat is produced by cattle
feeding on tia, description of grass
bile it is wet with dew or rain, and
unless relief is bad the amin al dies.
Cows have been cured by adopting
heroic making an inoision
" the affected beasts side and renov-
ing the grass by which the gas is ger.
icrated from the paunch. But this
treatment is liable to result fatally.
Er. Bray asserts that the total NOR
tally from bloat among cattle in
Mason valley in the past fifteen years
has resulted in a loss Of 100000 tc
stock raisers.
He claims to be the posscssor Of q
preventative-the nature of which he
declines to disclose-which he says
will prevent cattle from bloa'ing.
In the absence Of the COW editor
the religious scribe ,imidly ventured
the remark that it seemed dimlv APP.
parent to his mental vision that the
demand for the preventative would
be more c}anorous than for the cure

THE PRIDE OF CANVAS.
Another Gold Belt Claim that May
Have q Mill Soon.

About 100 pounds of quartz ex-
tracted from the Pride of Camas
shaft, at a depth of 20 feet, was
brought to HALEY to-day. 1t is really
"alive" with free gold that can be
seen with the saked eye, and is cal
culated to remind old timers of "the
days Of gold-the days Of 40"
The Pride of Camas is situated on
the Gold Belt, at the head OF Elk
creek and about three miles this side
of Crichton. 1t and the King Solo
mon claim, which adjolns, is owned
by Charles J. Sherry and Louis Rob
erts of this city, and w. S. Werrin,
of Camas Prairie. These locations
were made on a ledge which had
massive outcroppings which could be
seen miles away. A couple of weeks
ago contract was let to sink the
shaft so feet deeper, the owners in
tending as soon as the contract shall
be completed, to crosscut the vein
and, if found as rich as on the sur.
face, to at once erect a 20 stamp mill
and from present appearances it
would seem as if mill would be go,
there before the summer is over.

run of cattle, such as the dressed beef trade
and shippers generally buy, butchers stock

AMUSEMENTS.
The Vice Admiral BY the Conried
Company at the Grand.

Conried's opera company appeared at the
Grand opera house last night in Millocker's
'Vice Admiral" The piece is new in this
city, being sung here for the first time.
There is in several of its concerted pieces a
suggestion ofother airs not the work of this
composer, which, however, are not for this
reason less worthy of appreciation. The
solos are few and none of them are stamped
with exceeding brllliancy or beauty, those
qualifications being m~onopolized by the
heavier parts. In choruses the opera is par
ticularly rich and in every one of these, par
ticularly that of the sailors in the last act,
which was intensified by excellent stage
movements, the company scored a great
success. Miss BiauchI, the leading soprano,
has a rich apd musical voice which, how
ever. in a cauphe of instances, seemed taxed
to the uttermost where is displayed evidence
of overwork. She sang with intelligence
and acted Gilda with success. Miss Lydia
O'Neill as Seratina sang with spirit and con-
tidence, displaying a strong flexible soprano.
Miss DoenhOff as Sybillina received several
eucores. The ballet, if such it may be called,
was particularly attractive and was a pleas
ant feature of the performance. The cos
tunes were numerous and multiferous and
the setting of the piece very fine.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 1S-[Special Tele-
gram to the BEE. THE game to-day etween
Omaha and Minneapolis resulted in a shut
the surprise of any one than the Minneapolis
players themselves. But the Omaha boys
couldn't find young Klopf's curves and he
had them completely at his mercy. Cassian
occupied the box for Omaha and was hit
freely throughout the game, besides receiv-
ing very loose support.
Minneapolis went first to bat and Kreig hit a
%grounder to Doran, which the latter fumbled
and the runner reached first base. Kreig
took second on a bad throw by Wilson and
third on Hawes' safe hit. McCullom
hit to Burns, who dropped the
ball, and the bases were full. Patton then
raised the ball over the right field fence for a
''homer,r while the 1900 people present
yelled with joy. The next three batsmen
were quickly retired, however, and from
this time until the sixth inning but two Min
neapolis players reached first base, both of
whom were thrown out trying to steal sec
ond. In the sixth two singles, a steal and a
double gave Minneapolis two more runs.
But two Omaha boys reached third base
during the game. Sowders got there in
the fourth inning on a hit and two
battery errors with only one man out, but
could not get home. Shannon opened the
fifth inning with a long drive to center for
three bases, but was run out trying to get
home on Doran's slow hit along the third
base line. Doran took second on the run
out, but was doubled up a minute after
wards on Cassin's out to right field.

THE LOBBY.
Nellie Bly's Story Being Investigated
BY the Judiciary Committed

ALBANY, April 1S.-lSpecial Telegram to
the BEE. THE assembly committee on ju-
dietary was engaged today in investigatingthe
series of charges published in the New York
World to the effect that there is a corrupt
lobby at the capitol headed by Edward Phelps.
Miss Pink Cockrane, the female correspond
ent of the World, who over the signature of
"Nellie Bly," gave publicity to the story,
went on the stand and testified that Phelps
told her he could get six of the
members of the committee on cities for
81 ,00s and that he could get other committees
cheaper. She rehearsed the story in detail as
she had already given it to- her paper. Ed
ward Phelps, the accused, testified he had
spent most of his time in this city during the
legislative session for the past twenty years
looking after bills in which he was inte-
rested. He denied the charges that he tried
to influence the votes of certain members
and said he did not have any such CONVERSE
ton with "Nellie Bly, as she alleged. On
the other hand she wanted to pay him 81. 900
for having killed the patent medicine bill.
He declined the money saying he had done
nothing TO that end, but she insisted and he
agreed to take $3.50.

The Draft Horse for Profit.

Western Agriculturalist: Draft horses
stand pre-eminently at the head of the
most profitable stock farm. The east
ern buyers are eagerly hunting all over
the west for the grade draft horses and
paying splendid prices for them. We
are glad to see the agricultural papers
giving this year more recognition of
the merits of the draft horse interest
and less of the fast horse folly. The
Iowa Homesteader very appropriately
says: 7@
s'It is very remarkable that amid the
almost universal depression in farm
products, the one product that has stood
firm has been that of horses; not all
kinds OF horses, however. but the class
which the great horse raising public
demands. The plug horse has been dull
sale and we venture the assertion that
he will never be in any better demand.
ASK any of the eastern buyers who
may be found at this season Of the year
in any county in Iowa that has been
producing draft horses, and they will
tell you that the best are scarce and it
is difficult to get what they want. They
can scarcely obtain horses of five years
old and upward, and, not finding these,
will take them at four, there or two
years. The. horse that is wanted is
either n horse hat can travel, or n
horse that can pull, or coach horse
that has good action, good size and

FINANCIAL.

New YORK, April lS.-ISpeclal Telegram
to the BEE -STocKs-The feeling in stock
circles was unsettled to-day. Business
shows a small increase but the days trans
actions are not above the average. The
bull element laid great stress on tho an
nouncement Of Secretary Fairchild 10 pur-
chase bonds daily after April % until further
notice. Should the bonds be offered ut a
reasonable figure the bids will be accepted
but in a majority Of the cases the holders are.
not, as a rule, pressed for money, and unless
extraordinary Inducements are offered they
win not part with their bonds. An argu-
ment offered by the bulls was that sos, 0OO,O00
surplus would be released by the purchase Of
the bonds. 1t should be remembered, how
ever, that when money was exceedingly
tight last fal, and rates higher than at pres
cat the secretary failed TO secure 2 large
amount of bends ana there is little reason
why they should sell them more frssly now
than then. Foreign investors who have
been in the market as buyers for a week past
have sold few stocks until to day, when they
offered them freely. The bears were in

A Hermit and His Rabbits.

An old hermit of Mound Valley, New,
has adopted a lot of jack rabbits. The
man lives alone on a ranch, and devotes
himself to stock-raising. AS he does
not try to raise vegetables the rabbits
could do him no harm, and so has never
tried to drive them away. They
soon became very tame, and, US
the jack rabbit is rather an etfectionate
animal anyway, they kept making more
advances and trial of friendship until
they and the old man have become
quite sociable. When he goes out after
his COWS two Or three dozen rabbits
will come trooping along after him,
leaping around him, running between
his legs, and ,nibbling, his fingers.
They often invade his cabin, leap on
his bed, and skirmish around after
something to eat. He has taught some
of the more intelligent rabbits a num-

ENDED IN CONVICTION.
Kubovec's Rescuers Found Guilty OF
Resisting an Officer.

The longest case IN the police court for a
good many months was that of the three
Bohemians who were arrested last Sunday
evening for resisting Officer Foley on South
Thirteenth street. The case commenced at
3 p. m, and by the time the jury had rem
dered their verdict it was nearly II o'clock.
Last Sunday evening when Officer Foley at
tempted to arrest a baker named Frank
Kubovec, a number of other Bohemians
quickly gathered and attempted to interfere
with the officer, The leaders in
this movement were identified by Foley
as b. Grubeck and G.. Englethaler, who
seized the officer by the arm and attempted
to draw him away. A big crowd gathered
about the scene and a chorus of yells went
up that was perfectly deafening. The officer
sounded the alarm for II riot and a number of
officers were dispatched to the scene, who
with the greatest difficulty managed TO
dispense the crowd. The ringleaders were
arrested and taken to the central station.
The trial last evening ended with Il Uonvic-
ton and Judge Berka imposed on them the
rather light fine of So and costs. .s.
