SAFE Crackers at Reno.

The Journal of last Saturday says
Yesterday morning when l. N. Bake
less opened his store on Virginia street
he discovered that it had been entered
sometime during the night and the
safe broken open and robbed of about
$3.50 in money and 900 in notes
and other securities. The burglars
effected an entrance through a win
dow in the rear of the building, and
drilled hole in the safe near the lock
A bolt was inserted in the hole, with
which the lock was broken. The
tools used by the burglars, with the
exception of the drill, had doubtless
been taken from some blacksmith
shop, and were left in the store by
the burglars. Some of the stolen
funds belong to Washington Lodge
No. %, A. o. U. W, and had been
deposited with Mr.. Bakeless for safe
keeping. No clue had been obtained
that would lead to the discovery Of the
robbers yesterday, though the officers
were on the alert and trying hard to
find one. Some of the tools used are
supposed to have been taken from
the foundry. 1t is supposed that the
burglars were professionals, as the
manner 10 which they broke open the
safe indicated that they understood
the business.

IT'S A DAISY.
The state board Working mp Elaxo
County.

The Elko Independent of last Sat-
urday thus forcibly pays its eompli-
ments to that new-fangled institution
styled the The State Board of Asses
sors and Equalization"
A number of our citizens received
notices through the postoffice this
morning, from the State Board of As
SCISSORS and Equalization, that their
individual assessments had been
raised by that body from 20 to 80 per
cent. Add to this the horizontal raise
of 20 per cent. as made by the Board
and it will be seen that the total raise
of the property will reach nearly so
per cent. on the valuation as fixed by
the Assessor and County Board of
Equalization who are presumed to
know more about the taxable value
of the property of the county than a
Board composed of men who pay but
little of any taxes TO the State or
county from which they hail, and
know no more about the value of
property in Elko county than does
George Francis Train.
But somebody must pay the neces-
sary taxes to support these men and
State and county governments. and,
AS the Board in the generosity of their
hearts and the purity of their motives,
reduced the amount of taxes that the
railroad companies of the State pay
into the treasury it is very evident
that tie people must make up the
deficiency. Our people should make
an organized effort to convince the
Board at their meeting at the Court
House on Monday that these individ-
nal raises are not warranted and are
unjust and wholly at variance with
the value of the property. There
should also be an organized resistance
all along the line to this attempt to
make the people of this county pay
more than their just proportion of the
expenses of the State government.

81 do not regret our separation,
dear brethren" said a clergyman
short time ago in his farewell SER
mon, .for three good and valid rea-
sons. 1.-THE first is that you don't
love me; the second, that you don't
love one another, and The third that
God doesn't love you. You don't
love me for my salary Is several
months in arrears; you don't love
one another or there would be no
such breath OF marriages among you,
and God doesn't seem to love you as
you ought to be loved, because there
has been so few funerals among you
lately" He was not pressed 10 re-
main longer.

With the immortal Stnnewall jack
son, says the Alabama Soldier, stray
gling. especially during forward
march, was an objectionable offense
but there was one instance In which
it was promptly condoned. Daring
one of the forced marches along in
the summer of go, through the pine
and 'simmon regions, he stopped to
consult with some general officers till
the whole command had passed some
distance. Riding forward t" the front
he discovered a private Of his old
brigade up 'simmon tree.
"What are you doing so far in the
rear9" cried the General.
I'm eating simmons said the
soldier.
"Why, they're not ripe" said the
General, with some sarcasm.
II know, said the soldier. Il want
'em green"
why do you eat green 'simmons2"
said old Blue Light.
ITO draw my stomach up to fit my
rations," said old Web Foot.

How Lyon County Met the Tax Rails.

At Dayton, on the 8th instant, the
9Th instant, the State Board of Equal
ization made an all.round raise of Is
per cent, and also rescinded most of
the reductions made by the County
Board of Equalization. At the same
time they recommended to the Lyon
County Commissioners to reduce the
tax levy 10 per cent for county pur-
poses. This is a circuitus way of
raising more revenue for the State
Government and outlines a plan to be
followed throughout the State. The
State Board will visit Humboldt and
Elko counties and the eastern part of
State.
