NOVICE TO NUBSCRIBERS.


The first side of The ADVOCATE is
printed on Friday for the week fol-
lowing. Sunday night, May 20, q
tremendous storm flooded the press
room and damaged the papers which
were piled upon table near the
press, so that many OF them could
not be used. 1t also delayed the
press and we were unable to get out
on time. Subscribers who fail to re-
ceive the last paper will therefore
understand that it is because they
were destroyed by the flood, and it
will be impossible for us to supply
that number. We sincerely regret
our inability to do so, but we trust
our readers will see that it is the re-
suit of one of those accidents which
can neither be foreseen or prevented.

AN EXPLANATION THAT DOES NOT EX
PLAIN.

pie of Kansas endeavorlng to justify
their action in reducing the railroad
assessment in 1891. Attorney Gen
eral Ives has also issued an additional
address, and it is to this that we wish
to call particular attention. The Re-
publican party must deal with its
members of the board. We will at
tend to ours.
Mr.. Ives quotes the law which he
says governed the board in it's action.
Let us see if such is the fact. The
law cited by him ls as follows:
The board, when properly organized, shall
proceed to ascertain all the personal property
of any railway company owning operating or
constructing railway in this state, which for
the purposes OF assessment and taxation, shall
be held to include the track, rOad-bed, right-Of'
way water and fuel stations, buildings, and land
on which they are situated, adjacent to or con-
nected'with the right-Of-way, machinery, rolling
stock, telegraph lines and all instruments con-
nected Herewith, material on hand, and sup
plies for operating road, together with the
moneys, credits and all other property OF such
railway company used, or held for the purpose
Of operating its railroad, and appraiSe and as
sess such property at It's actual value in money.
(see section 6S7S, chapter 7, volume 2, General
Statutes Of 1889, page 2OS9)
We want nothing better than this
very section Of the law to show that
the members of the board, instead of
being governed by q conscientious
regard for their official oaths, have
deliberately violated their osths in
this assessment. This is a grave
charge but we are prepared to sus-
tain it.
The evidence which we shall SUBJ
NIT is derived from advance sheets of
work which will not be published
in time to get the facts before the
people before the Wichita conven-
tion. The author has kindly per-
mitted us to use his manuscript
for the selection of such facts as
are applicable to this case. With
respect to its reliability We will only
say this at present. The author is a
practical railroad man. He has spent
years in railroad service in various
capacities. He has been auditor OF
the constructing department, gen.
eral freight and ticket agent, secre-
tsry, and served for two years as
compiler Of railway STATISTICS. He is
fully conversant with his subject, and
is recognized as an expert in railroad
statistics. The figures he gives are
compiled from official reports of rail-
roads, railroad commissioners and
auditors, and can be relied upon in
every particular.
It will be observed that the law
cited by Mr.. Ives defines distinctly
what property shall be included in
the assessment. In determining the
"actual value in money" of this prop
erty, our author has made a detailed
estimate of what it would actually
cost to replace it at this time if it
were all wiped out of existence. To
show the accuracy of his estimate we
will state that it goes so minutely
into detail as to include every item of

re railroad.
There are 535 miles of the main
line Of this road in the state. The
cost Of right of-wsy and road bed,
which of course includes all the ma
terial and labor used in it's construc-
tion, together with side tracks, tele-
graph lines and buildings, is $14O6O
per mile, or a total of 1882, 100.
This property was assessed by the
state board for 1891 at $4,434, 767, or
SO per cent. of its true value.
The value of rolling stock on this
main line is $2,O3O,39O. This prop
erty is assessed at $716,367 or 35 per
cent of its true value.
The value of the right-of-wsy,
track, building, telegraph lines, ETC.,
OF the main line from Holiday to
state line south of Arkansas City, is
$11,066 per mile, or total of $2,931,- :
sos. This property was assessed at
81, ,485,615, or so per cent. of it's true
value.
The value of the rolling stock upon
this line is $729,36O. 1t is assessed
at $217,775, or 30 per cent. of it's true
value.
The number of miles of branch
lines as reported by the board of as
SCISSORS themselves, is 1,848. The
railroad commissioners give it at
1866. Taking the figures of the
railroad assessors and the value of
these branch lines is $16,545, ,144.
This was assessed at $7,713,142, or At
per cent. of it's true value.
The value of rolling stock upon
these lines is $3,451,O1O This was
assessed at 81, 1,376,342, or 80 per cent.
of it's true value.
Coming now to the Union Pacific
system we find it has 1,30l miles in
the state, the true value of which is
$10,O56 per mile, or total of $13, ,O82,
3O6. The difference in the cost OF
this road and the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe is explained to be due to
the difference in the cost of buildings
and mileage, and house, side and
open tracks.
This property was assessed at ST.
366, 6,423, or 565 per cent. of its true
value.
The value of the rolling stock OF
this road is $1,771,35O. This was as.
sessed at $695,677, or 40 per cent. Of
its true value.
Now let us take up the Missouri
Pacific system. The Kansas board
of railroad commissioners reported
the mileage of this system, including
the Central Branch Union Pacific, for
the year 1891, in Kansas, at 2,229.2G
miles. The board of assessors as
sessed 2,221.29 miles.
A Missouri Pacific slime table" fol-
1891, which has printed on its title
page, "F'or the goUernment and in
formation of employees of this com,
pany only" gives the entire mileage
of this system in Kansas at 2,225. 3E
miles. The true value of the right.

No Truth In the Report OF an Uprising
Among Dakota Indians.
RAPID Cry, 8. D., Jan. 15.-The ten
,derfoot and the alarmist seem TO have
wakened up within the last few days,
for from no other source could emanate
the reports Of trouble brewing among
the Indians at Pine Ridge agency. From
visits to the reservation it In learned that
matters are in very fair Bhaps and that
there is no probability, and, in fact,
scarcely possibility, of general up
rising during the coming spring or sum-
mer. In fact the idea of such thing is
hardly worthy of being entertained. No
general uprising at any set date in the
future is being planned, and majority
of the men will take good care that
nothing is done to again bring the
United States troops to the agency.
The trouble Of last winter is, of course,
discussed with considerable bitterness
by the Indians, and the ambitious young
bucks do great deal of loud talking
about going on the warpath, being re
venged for their losses of a year ago
and exterIninating the whites, but tc
one acquainted with the Indian char.
acter there is nothing alarming in eithe,
the discussions or the threats.
Their Condition Improved.
Tho condition of affairs at the agency
has been improved greatly during the
past year and in manner which the
Indians understand and appreciate. The
establishment of sub-agencies has beer
one great improvement, as the Indians
are no longer required to take long trip.
in winter to receive their supplies. Tn.
supplies ON the whole, have been better
and better distributed. The Indians
were also very well pleased with Cap
tain Penney as their agent and were
sorry when he asked to be and was re
moved. He was great worker and
had gained their entire confidence and
respect. The present agent, Captain
Brown, viii also probably be satisfac
tory to the Indians, as ha has beer
among them for some years, has made !
study of them and can talk to them il
their own tongue. Affairs at Pine
Ridge must change very much before
there is any good cause to fear trouble
