PERSONAL property is the taxable value
that most escapes taxation. 1t is not at
all surprising, therefore, that the attempt
to unearth these values should create
good deal of stir in some quarters. The
poor mans possessions are not easily
concealed, nor can their value be misrep-
resented; but the case is very different
with the greater possessions of many of
the wealthy, of large business firms, and
of great enterprises. About year ago
the RECORD UNION took occasion to re-
veal the amazing surprises Of the Assess
or'S returns. In one county few, if any,
watches were listed; in another scarcely
| any jewelry; in still another but a meager
return was made of values in merchan-
disc stocks, though the county was a COM
mercial one. In one county pianos were
valued throughout the list at less than
the price of the stools, and in another
were rated at ten times that figure. In
fact, thereis scarcely any more amusingly
suggestive study than that of comparison
of Assessors returns of discovered taxa
BILE personal property. That infinitely
more personal property in San Francisco
escapes than pays taxes is notorious, yet
because of official inquiry into the matter
there is a woful protest from the city by
the sea, and lament that injustice and
wrong is being contemplated against the
metropolis. That might be; even Boards
of Equalization are composed of fallible
beings; but it may be safely set down
that any, official or other search entered
upon for escaping taxable personality will
not result in the discovery of one-half
| of it.

NEMo'S COMPLIMENTS TO ISIS.
(COutinued.)

Y
Massachusetts was the first State
in the Union that attempted to pass
prohibitory law; this was IN 1915,
but it failed. In 1851 Maine passed
a prohibitory law, which, as history
tells us, caused bloodshed and riot
and had to be repealed in 1896 and
a license law was substituted, ms
remained in force until 1868, when
1t was repealed and the present
Maine law was enacted. Let US see
how prohibition works in that prohl-
bition State. The Inspectors OF the
Maine State Prison, in their annual
report to the Governor OF the State
in 1882 (page 32), said: "ln many
cities and towns in this State liquor,
if not as free as water, is to be had
by those who want it," Maine has
IA incorporated cities, with popu-
lation ranging from 1854 to $3.50.
Honorable Dingley, Prohibition Con-
gresham from that State, said there
were 2468 arrests for drunkenness in
1888, which makes one person out of
every fifty-eight of the population.
The same gentleman tells us that in
Portland alone 1851 persons were
arrested for drunkenness, or one out
of every twenty-five of the popula-
ton. In Biddeford, Maine, with a
population of l2,651 in 1880 there
were arrested for drunkenness in
that year 70 persons and in 1888 9s
persons. In Bangor, with popula,
ton of 16, 1856 in 1880 there were ar
rested for drunkenness in that yeal
PAP persons; in 1881, 3O3 persons
and in 1882, 293 persons. In Port
land, with a population of $3.50 il
1880, there were arrested for drunk
enness COG persons, in 1881, 5o9
and in 1882 602 persons. From TIT
government statistics of 1880 we SCI

JEFFERSON Cry, Mo. Jan l5.-News
reached here today of a shocking tragedy
which occurred Yesterday at Tuscumbia,
Miller county, t~hirty-fve miles from this
city, IN the Usage river. From the most
reliable information u be obtained it
appears that Charles Fulkerson. aged ~.
shot and killed Mrs. Freeman, a widow
lady several years his senior, and immedi-
ately aiterward placed the muzzle ofthe
pistol TO his head and blew his own brains
out. Tuscumbia is isolated and fifteen
miles from a telegraph office, and all that
can be learned of the killing is from Con-
ductor Vaughn of the Southwestern
Branch who, while his train was waiting
at the Aurora Spring deposit, saw aud
talked with a man from Tuscumbia. The
story he told was that Fulkerson was en-
gagged in an alteration with a servant girl
at the hotel kept by Mrs. Freeman, when
the latter interiered and told him he must
have no trouble in her house. and ordered
him to desist. Without replying to her
fulkerson drew a revolver and fred two
shots at Mrs Freeman, killing her almost
instantly. He then killed himself. Both
the suicide and his victim are prominent
in Miller county. Mrs. Freeman Is the
mother Of the present collector of Miller
county and Fulkerson is a son OF Abe
Fulkerson and a brother of Frank Fulker-
son, business manager of the State Re
publican of this city. He was a pho
tographer by occupation, and it is be-
lleved that his mind was partially de
ranged from the effects of i'll health. The
tragedy has created a great deal Of excite
ment at Tuscumbia.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Jan. I5.-Miss Birdie
Lucas, the daughter of William Lucas, oil
the Pioneer Press, a girl of but l6 years,
has created tremendous excitement IN
West Side social circles by clipping to
Hud,on, Wis, with Milton Dubois. an
employe OF a South Robert street livery
stable. Lest Friday Miss Birdie left her
fathers house, los Congress street, tell
ing her parents that she was going to
Hamliue to visit friends. As this was
nothing unusual, the parents felt per-
fectly safe about her until it was learned
on Saturday that she had LETT IIaml1ne
shortly after her arrival there, and had
gone IN company with a Young man
named Dubois, who met her there. A
search was instituted, the family and
nelghbors joining in making calls at places
where Birdie might be possibly found, but
no trace of the girls whereabouts could
be discovered until Sunday, when it was
learned hat a Hudson justice had made
the pair man aud wife. The young PEG.
pie became acquainted about seven
months ago, and soon developed a strong
interest for one another. meeting and
spending a great deal OF time together,
and finally decided to get married, but
Mr. and Mrs. Lucas refused their consent
point blank, Tor the double reason that
Miss Birdie was too Young and that she
was above her atianced In station. An
elopement was at once agreed upon and
carried out, as stated.

When n mans head tells him a thing is

You can measure your strength by the

No mans enemies would dare fight him
If they could hear the fierce things he saws

There is one thing a woman can do that

WACO, Tex, Jan. I5.-Sounds of a
woman screaming in terror brought the
police tonight to the corner Of Sixth and
Franklin streets. They found Mrs. VIII
son, wife Of William Wilson. an empIoye
of the electric light plant, pale and gasp
ing, leaning against a wall. When she
recovered coherent speech she explained
that she started from her room in the
Southern hotel TO visit a neighbur oppo-
site. and that she suddenly found herself
being borne along in the arms of a 9
toward a vacant space in the rear of a
blacksmith shop. When she began
screaming the negro attempted to clutch
her throat, but failed. and on her redoub-
ling her cries he slashed her across the
bosom with n razor, cutting open her rest
ure and slightly wounding her, Ter heavy
cloak and other garment projecting her
from eruu injury. Officers are making
strong efforts TO catch this Waco Jack the
Ripper.
