INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENTS.

Following is list Of tho taxpayers
OF Elko county whose individual as
sessments have been raised, or rather
which it is proposed to raise, by the
State Board of Assessors.
A careful scrutiny of the list will
convince anyone converssnt with the
real value OF property in this county
that the raises proposed by the State
Board will work great injustice to
many individuals, while at the same
time others are omitted whose assess
ments might be raised without any
serious injury to the holders OF the
property. This is natural. result of
taking the evidence of one or two
individuals whose names they are
careful that the State Board should
not reveal. But here is the list:

The Wind Up.

Quite number OF our citizens met
the Committee OF the State Board Of
Equalization at the Courthouse last
night. After the Committee had
listened to the statements of all
parties who desired to be heard.
whose assessments had been raised,
Mr.. Grey took the floor and stated
the difficulties under which the Board
iabored ia attempting TO equalize the
assessment of property throughout
the State, and assured the people Of
Elko that nothing had been done in
malice toward them. After the Sec
rotary Of State had concluded his re-
marks MIR. harrington took the floor
and denied the accusation that he or
Mr.. Ainley or Mr.. Mcclellan was the
prominent citizen that had given the
Board tx Q information on which the
individual raises had been made. In
the course Of his remarks be read a
list OF those whose assessments had
been raised and stated that among
them were number of his and their
warm personal friends and that he
was not in the habit Of benefttiug
his enemies at the expense of his
friends. He also stated that among
those who were raised were O number
who had signed the petition to the
Legislature asking for reduction in
the salaries of the county officers.
These remarks of Mr.. Harrington
called out District Attorney Plummer
who took the floor and on behalf of
the county officers replied warmly to
Mr.. Harrington and called upon
Messrs. Horton and Grey to give the
name of the Prominent Citizen to the
public as an act of justice to all par
ties concerned. Mr.. Harrington again
took the floor and stated that he
made no charges against anybody.
Mr.. j. NJ. Dorsey urged the Board to
give the name to the public. Mr..
w. t. Smith hoped the name would
not be given to the public. Mr.. Grey
then took the floor again and posi-
lively refused TO reveal the name Of
the informer. After this little squall
had Gained down Judge Bigelow
made some pertinent remarks to the
Committee on the inequality of the
| railroad assessment as compared
with the assessment of other prop
erty in the county. His remarks did
not elicit any reply from the members
of the Board.
After the adjournment of the meet
ing and after most of the people had
left the court room Mr.. Grey made q
statement generating Mr.. Earring

bers Of the Elko delegation in the last

ceived here this morning that Charles

Deputy Marshal Cakes came in with
him, he having surrendered this morn
ing, soon after the shooting. Tom
Middleton was married to Chickasaw
woman and had farm some ten miles
west of Goodland. Charley Middleton
is about 20 years of age. At varions
times he worked for his brother moi;
getting any pay. Charley agreed to
quit this morning. He told Tom he
was going, when the latter became
violently angry, and when Char
ley persisted IN leaving and
had started out OF the gate
Tom ran in the house, got his vim
chester, and on getting outside threw
1t down on Charley and pulled the
trigger. From some cause the gun
failed to fire, and Tom tried to make a
second shot, but before he could do SO
Charley pulled his pistol and shot him

A KANSAS HORROR.
Suicide and Triple Murder in Topel

Suicide and Triple Murder in Topeka.
Topeka, May ga small residence
at the corner of Buchanan avenue and
Gordon street, was burned down this
morning. In the ruins were found the
charred remains of Mrs. w. A. Upte-
graf, aged % and her three children,
all girls, aged from 10 months to 5
years. All the surrounding circum.
stances point to deliberate and care
fully planned triple murder and sui
eide. The scene of the tragedy is in a
sparsely settled portion of north To-
peka, among the ignorant class of day
laborers.
The fire was discovered about 10
o'clock. The house was supposed, bv
the neighbors, to be uninhabited. 1t
has been learned that the family
moved in the house about a month
ago. The father is teamster and left
acme early this morning to hunt work
nd he has not had any work since he
moved here. Both he and his wife
have been very dispondent.
He was found about II o'clock and
told of the terrific fate of his family
In half crazy condition he put whip
to his horses and fastened them to the
spot. When he arrived he could only
talk in an incoherent manner and
could give no information whatever to
.Jg ~ upou the horror.

GALVESTON, May 27.-The high bar
ometric area advancing from the
northwest is of an elliptical form and
is now central over northern Illinois,
exerting it's influence over the entire
northern section of the country, caus-
ing cloudless weather and fall of TEN
perature in the east. The movement
of atmosphere on the west side of the
high area is northward and low area
which is entering in the extreme north
west tends to draw up additional
warm air from the south, and has
caused a rise in temperature in the
northwest.
The weather over the southern sec.
ton of the United States is generally
partly cloudy.
Light rains have occurred in the
Rocky Mountain slope, the Atlantic
and the gulf states.

THE NATIONAL BUTCHERS PROTECT
I'VE ASSOCIATION IN SESSION.
PITTsBURa, Pa, May 27.-At this
mornings session of the National
Butchers Protective association, the
question of establishing abattoirs or
places where butchers can buy cattle
was again taken up.
Mr.. Gardner of Dallas, Texas, spoke
in favor of the plan. He cited a hum
Der of the largest ranchmen in Texas
who are enthusiastic over the scheme
and willing to foster any suchmarkets
that may be established.
The big Four" combination which
controls all the stock markets of the
country was the object of attack and
Mr.. Gardner argued that if the Ma
tional Butchers association want to
break up this monopoly it can only be
done on some such plan as he pro
poses.
MIR. James offered a resolution in
dorsing the idea presented by the
Butchers Association of Dallas, Tex,
in establishing an abbattoir for the
market of home raised cattle. Mr..
James resolution was adopted and the
convention adjourned till tomorrow,
after the appointment of committee
to visit Texas and examine the differ
ent cities and report upon the advisa-
bility of establishing a market for
eastern butchers. The afternoon was
devoted to sightseeing.

THE FLORIDA SENATORSHIP
THE LEGISLATORS WHO TOOK TO THE
WOODS.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, May 27.-The
seventeen senators who took to the
woods" yesterday in order to prevent
Calls re- election, believed that in a
joint session it was necessary that the
majority of each house should be
present and voting in order to legalize
the act of the joint assembly.
The statute which governs the cleo
ton of United States senators, the
Call men assert, very plainly indicates
that THE person who receives ma
iority of all the votes of the joint as
sembly Ia majority of all members
electedte both houses being present
and vuting) shall be declared daly
elected" Call, they say, not only re
ceived majority of the quorum, but
"a majority of all members duly elee-
ted to both houses" that the majority
of the legislature being made up OF ex.
actly hundred members, he received
hifty-one votes-a majority.

trustees of the Union Theological
seminary. Almost every pastor
and missionary worker voted 81 to II,
against DIR. Smith. We demand
prompt and decided action. Judge j.
B. Breckenridge of st. Louis, member
of committee on theological semina-
ries, and one of the most eminent law
yers in the south, stated the legal
points in the case. Years ago he said
Union seminary was independent, but
in 1871, became presbyterian and OF
course the assembly from that time
controlled the appointments If we
do not veto now, said he, we never
can.
DR.. Logan's amendment for deferring
action is impracticable. We view the
transfer from one chair to another the
same as an appointment. We can do
nothing wisely except 6isapprove. l
think it is wise not to assign reasons.
A Judge some times cannot give all the
reasons for his decisions on the bench.
but without assigning other reasons it
does seem to me that the mind of the
church for some months has been anx-
ious, and that we should relieve it.
His last words were: Now, gentle
men, feel that l have discharged my
duty and wish to be excused from
further speaking"
Reaching for glass OF water he
threw up his hands and fell, striking
the back of his head heavily on the
floor. After the judge had been
carried to the ante room the debate
was arrested. and when a few minutes
afterwards physicians in the audience
who had hurried to his aid pronounced
him dead the assembly voted to do no
further business and instead OF ban
quet this evening to hold a prayer
meeting in Fort street church.
A committee, consisting OF President
Patton, Rev. DR.. Hayes, O. A. Dickey,
H. P. Smith and Elder j. j. McCook
and E. w. G. Humphrey, to which
Rev. DR.. Vermilte, delegate from the
Reform church, was added, was APP
pointed to make suitable arrangements
in view of the occurrence.
President Patton asked to be eX-
cused because of fatigue.
While this committee was absent the
assembly engaged in devotional exer'
cises.
DIR. Vermilte said the judge had just
before leaving his seat been talking
with him in a familiar way of his wife
and family and invited him to lunch
with him tomorrow. Now he has
passed from this assembly to 1.-The
general assembly and church of the

Special committee to go to st. Louis,
were announced as Rev. Drs. Hayes
Dickey, Erskine and Smith, with Ell
ders Rankin and Montgomery. Dr.
Nichols, the pastor Of Judge Breckin>
ridge, is absent but will return in time
to take the train.
There was no opportunity to see the
remains and after announcing that
there would be prayer meeting in
Fort street church at 8 o'clock this
evening, the meeting closed with
prayer by the moderator.
Many will recall the similar and
sudden death of Ex-Governor Wash
burn at the great meeting of the
American Board at Springfield, Mass,
which so greatly softened the heated
discussion which was there, as here,
going on over doctrinal matters.

THE CHARLESTON HEARD FROM.
THE CRUISER AT CALLAo, BUT NO
ITATA.

THE CRUISER AT cALLAo, BUT NO
ITATA.
|. WASHINGTON, ID. O., May 27-The
navy department today received its
first news from the Charleston since
she left Acapulco, Mexico, the first OF
last week in pursuit of the Itata.
When the vessel failed to touch at
Panama within the time expected the
department said it was very probable
that it had been decided to keep
straight on down the coast and that
the Charleston would first be heard
from at some Peruvian port. This
prediction is fulfilled for the port at
which the Charleston announced her
arrival is Callao.
The whereabouts of the Itata are as
far from being known as before the
Charleston was heard from, for Capt.
Remy, her commander, reported that
he had seen nothing CT the ltata on
his cruise down the coast. The
Charleston will join the squadron un-
der Admiral McCann in Gillian waters
and it is surmised that the report will
at no distant day come thence an
noupeing the peaceful surrender by the
insurgents of the elusive craft, which
the United States government will libel
and perhaps forfeit for violation OF the
neutrality laws.
