THE JULY TAXES.
A Much Larger Collection Made Than
Had Been Expected.

Much Larger Collection Made Than
Had Been Expected.
The tax collections for the month of july
were divided as follows: From city and
county personal property taxes for the
year 1892, $780, 45 46; from Dupout-street
widening taxes, S1735 9S from taxes pre-
yious years, 1881 80; from fee and COM
mission account, 1904 50; from duplicate
taxes, $3.50; total, S579,377 A
The above is larger collection than the
Tax Collector expected owing to the mani
fest depression in business i'm this CITY at
the present time. and from the fact that n
great many OF the smaller taxpayers wait
until the second nstallment is due and then
pay both together, this result has been very
satisfactory.
This has been brought about by the per-
feet sy stem OF postal-card notifications sent
out, numbering $4,000, and also to the local
notices given by the press calling the atten-
ton OF taxpayers to the fact that these
taxes were due and payable. The personal
property roll OF this year as ii came from
the Auditor, after reductions and corrections
made by the Board OF EQUALIZATION. amonnt
ed to $685. SS4, 698. The roll of 1891 amounted
TO S67, 050,74S. While the roll of this year is
somewhat larger than that Of last. the re-
suit In taxes will be less, owing to the
change Of rate from 81 03 to 81 on the 500.
The new system Of postal-cards contain
ing valuations OF property, amount of tax,
ETC., worked like charm. Business people
returned their cards with check covering
the amount due, and receipts were sent out
by return mail. The greatest advantage,
however, was in facilitating the work of the
office. Taxpayers had but moment to
wait, when, 10 their establishment, their
bills were handed them. Hence no crowds
could gather, every person being so promptly

The Married Life of the Won Walters
Ending = Was Expected.
Mrs. May Won Walter entered suit yester-
day for divorce from Henry Won Walter,
whom she married in this city OH the 30th
of August. two years ago. This pair will
be remembered by the newspaper readers
as the principals in q sensational affair
which occurred some months ago In Oak
land, when he tried 20 steal the babe at the
mothers breast, because she refused to
have her baptized in church of his faith
At the time of marriage Won Walter repre-
senied that he was in the employ of Kohler
q Chase, receiving a nice salary and had
moreover $1,000 in bank, which he would
use to furnish home in Oakland.
Alter marriage she learned too late that
he had been discharged two weeks before.
and instead OF $50 he never earned more
than 500. The bank account story was more
OF myth, for he had not a cent. With
such prospect staring them they fastened
themselves on her people and he made good
use OF his father-in-iaw's credit. Procnr-
Ing employment at a small salary. the cOu-
pie came over 10 this city and went TO live

house at the point of knife, and TO COM
pletely terrorize her slashed her dress.
Three days after and having flung her On
the floor he danced All Indian wardance
about her. threatening 10 cuI her throat and
her nose with that same knife. Mrs. Won
Walter left him after this, but womanlike
returned 10 him, and so pleased apparently
was he that he rewarded her by keeping
