How To Take OF a Horses saoe.

When a shoe is TO be taken off it must
not be violently wrenched at the risk of
splitting off large piece Of hoof with it.
Let the clinched end of each nail be first
turned back. Then the shoe may be
carefully raised with the pincers far
enough to withdraw the nails, so that
their heads may be taken hold of by the
pincers and each nail separately drawn
out. The nails may also be drawn out
one at time, 30 as not to alter the posi-

Lawyers.
One good effect of the warm weather
is the reduction OF the amount Of legal
business transacted in the courts to a
minimum. About the only judge who
could be found in town yesterday was
Judge Smith, at department one of the
superior court. The honorable gentle
man was only in his seat about an hour
and dispatched five cases, as follows:
Filing of an information in the assault
case against VIM. Morgan, the assault
having been committed upon the person
of George Dekarm on July 18th.
Habeas corpus proceedings In the case
of p. Spiegel, confined in the county jail.
Spiegel was released.
Habeas corpus proceedings in the case
of r. w. Huff, accused of incendiarism
in connection with the fire in the Solo
mon block. The application for release
was denied and Huff remanded for trial.
Then came the case of B.W. Edelman.
This is one of the old standing cases.
The defendant is the brother of Henry
Edelman, and is accused of manipulate
ing county warrants in way to defraud
the taxpayers. His case came up long
time since on demurrer, and yesterday
Judge Smith overruled it. He will
plead next Monday. In the course of
time the case will 20 to trial.

departing for cooler quafters was to eign

Wedding Tip.
Nee Lee is Mrs. All Yuen.
Mrs. Watson, aided by Justice Aus
tin, has outwitted the highbinders who
tried to gain possession of the pretty
Chinese girls person, and she is now
safe with her husband.
The HERALD has kept the case Of Nee
Lee constantly before the public, and is
very glad that the little girl has escaped
from the slavery with which she was
threatened. sThe fact, however, remains
that in this and san Diego counties the
law was twice used by the highbinders
in an attempt to steal the girl, and that
the expenses of these cases must be paid
by the people.
The cooked-up charge of petit larceny
against the girl was quietly dismissed
by Justice Austin, and on Friday he
went to Mrs. Watson's house and mar
ried the couple. Whether he kissed the
bride or not, the HERALD has not been
informed, and ON Friday evening Mr..
and Mrs. Yuen went away. to their new
home, where it is to be hoped they will
live happily ever after.

CAPTAIN GRAY'S WORK.
HE APPEARS TO HAVE DONE HIS
DUTIES WELL.
Good Increase in Values and in I'm
proveme nts. e.

The board of supervisors have at last
about concluded their labors as board
of equalization, and disposed of all the
kickers, who are said to have been re-
markably few this year. The last work
of the board OF equalization was the re-
vision of the footings of the assessment
rolls. The figures this year are said to
be about $2,0O0,000 more than last year.
Captain f. E. Gray, the county as
SCISSOR, says that he has endeavored to
comply with the law requiring equal as
sessment upsn all property similarly sit
uated. The result has been the raising
of the assessment upon many of the
large ranches, and their owners have
been the principal kickers.
The footings OF the rolls give the fol-
lowing interesting figures:
Total valuation of all property in the
county, $50 ,675, ,157 total value of real
estate and improvements, $62, ,573, ,920 |;
money, $208, $40; solvent credits, $780,
IT'S; other personal property, $6 1922, ,522.
The above figures do not include the
railroads in and out of the county.
1HcSc arc duucO ny Cuc 6Jhtc tUOdIus
Last year they amounted to upwards OF
$2,000,000.
The assessment of 1890 showed:
Total valuation of all property, $67,-
256,840; real estate, $50 OPS, 800; money,
$127 $40; solvent credits, $277 500 other
personal property, $6,S22,010.
These figures show an increase in
amounts as follows: Total increase,
$2,418,317 money, $71 ,27O.
The improvements in city and town
lots in 1891 was $l2.357 1856; in 1890,
$12,226, ,730; an increase this year of
$l31 900.
Improvements on other classes OF real
estate in 1891 was 50 1854, ,455; in 1890 it
was 81, ,340, ,585; an increase this year of
$513,870..
Captain Gray says that he thinks the
assessment rolls is much more correct
than ever before, but that the experi-
ence that he has gained will enable him
to bring them to still higher degree of
perfection.

HERES A PRECEDENT.
England's Method of Enforcing
Her Demands

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 2S.-In
view of certain criticisms of leading Eli
glish newspapers. based upon an er-
roneOus statement indicating that the
government of the United States had
made hasty and peremptory demand
upon the Chilian government in the
case of the Baltimore'S sailors at Val
paraiSo, it may be pertinent to
relate that on the 5th of December, 1863,
the British minister at Rio ,JaneirO sent
an ultimatum to the Brazilian govern
ment demanding the payment of 96, ,525
on account Of the claim of the British
bark Prince of Wales, and also a prompt
satisfaction for the arrest of three Off
GERS of the British naval frigate Forte,
who in June, 1862, were taken into Gus
tOdy by the police guard of one OF the
towns of Brazil (they being in citizens
dress for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct.
The minister declared that should the
government of Brazil fail to comply with
the demands he would order the adj
miral commanding the British naval
forces at Rio de Janeiro to decide the
questions according to the Instructions
from the British government. The Bra
lillian minister OF foreign affairs replied
on the 29th of December, protesting
against the payment, and declared that
no satisfaction should be given i'm the
case of the three officers. as 10 in
suit was offered TO them. On the
31st of December the British
minister sent letter to the British con-
Sulate stating that the demands of the
British legation having met with no
satisfaction from the Brazilian govern
ment, he had ordered Admiral Warren
to make repriSalS upon Brazilian prop
erty until the proper satisfaction was
obtained. On the same day three Brit
ish war ships left the harb0r of Rio and
OH the 4tn Of January one of the Brit
iSh war vessels returned to the port of
Rio, and the fact was made known that
five Brazilian sailing vessels and one
steamer under the Brazilian flag had
been captured, and taken charge of by
the British man-of-war, and were held
i'll a Brazilian harbor on the coast of
Rio.
On Jan. council of state was held
in the city palace, the emperor presld-
ing, at which it was decided that the
question of the arrest of the officers of
the naval frigate Forte could be sub
mitted to the arbitration of friendly
power, and the king of the Belgians
was proposed to determine whether any
insult was committed against the British
government by the arrest of officers. The
council further decided that the demand
of the British government for damages
on the claim of the Prince of Wales,
should be paid by the Brazilian minis
ter in London under protest, the Bra
lillian government having no means of
resisting the demands of the British
government. The king of the Belgians
decided that no insult had been offered
the British government or to the officers
who had ueen arrested. but as result
of the incident diplomatic relations be-
tween Great Britain and Brazil were
broken off and not renewed until two
years had elapsed.

further adds that the address of these

men who never had any idea of doing
ANYTHING else than following their
party blindly, and that their words
will have no weight with the great body
of liberal Republicans who supported
Gov. BOies two years ago, and who will
vote for him again this year. Nj. G.
Woodruff, OF Dubuque, who was in the
city to-day, says the liberal Republicans
III his section of the state, of which he
is one one of the most prominent, are
satisfied with the governors record,
have the utmost confidence in his
honor, and are not afraid to
trust him. The "Michiganiza-
tiOn" bugab0o has not fright
ened them. and they are just as firmly
his supporters now as they were two
years ago. Senator Allison and Con-
gresSman Henderson have made per-
sonal begging appeals to their friends
in Dubuque to stand by the party lust
this time" and while few, just out of
pity, may vote for Wheeler who voted
for Boies two years ago, there will be
many others who did not support the
Governor then, but who are heartily for
him now. Dubuque county, Mr. Wood
ruff thinks, Notwithstanding the deSper-
ate efforts of Allison and Henderson.
will give the governor his DID time
majority. The advices received at
headquarters from interior points in the
state make even Il more gratifying
showing. The gains among farmers,
reported after careful canvass, are
simply phenomenal, and portend great
political revolution.
