SOME COLD FACTS.

That there is gross inequality in
the assessment Of property in the
different counties in this State there
can be no doubt. This inequality is
made very plain by comparison of
the assessed valuation of Elko, Hum
boldt and Washoe counties for 1890,
1892 and 1893, as given in the reports
OF the State Board Of Assessors for
1890-1-2and the Controllers re-
port for 1893.
In 1890, the year before the law
creating the State Board of Assessors
went into effect, Elko county was
assessed for 81 1853, 500, Humboldt for
5000, $50 and Washoe for S4,844,49
And in 1898, the year after that law
was repealed, the assessed valuation
OF these three counties as shown by
the Controllers report stood as fol-
lows:
Elko. "a, 81, $40 90
Humboldt. ............ 3414,28 40
w uohSS. oyAOG,OOS w
The following table compiled from
official reports shows the assessed
valuation of the three counties for
the years 1890 and 1893 also the gain
in each for 1893 over 1890:

ELKHART, Ind, Dec. 5.-The story
comes from Marshall county that Mrs.
Blackwood, whose remarkable matrimo-
nial career has been given wide publicity,
is about to be married to her twelfth
husband, she having been divorced from
husband No. IL. Mrs. Blackwood was
married when 15 years old. One hus-
band has succeeded another in rapid sue
cession until her matrimonial career IS
without parallel in the divorce courts of
this state. Six of her husbands were
divorced, one was killed and four died.
Romance and pathos have part in the
story of her matrimonial conquests. One
of her husbands was an ex-convict,
whose pardon she secured from the Joliet
prison and whose death shattered a
happy union. The man who had worn
the stripes was her third husband, whom
she -chanced to meet on visit to the
Illinois prison. Mr.. Blackwood is only
40 years old. She is we'll educated and
socially popular

Cordillera de los Andes, in the present
state of the Transandine railway. The
letter says:

inn on the Chill side. We there char
tered four-horse carriage to drive us
to the end station ION this side) of the
railway, which feat was accomplished
in two hours time. 1 call it feat be-
cause the road is. all along the river
cut into the mountain side, and often
there is hardly room for four horses
abreast to pass, and when 1 looked out
of the window into the roaring river
below often wished l had been on my
mule. We did the distance between
the two end stations in about half the
time usually employed, only being on
horseback for seven hours and two
hours in the carriage. At the station
we were told that there would be no
train to Los Andes till three p. m.
next day, but. we might telegraph for
the contractors engine to take us
down, which we did We had only to
pay thirty dollars for it and saved a
whole day by doing so.
''At about ten a. m. the engine ar
rived, and very f1i1nsy thing it looked
We were put on a small bench at the
back of the boiler, the driver
and stol1er standing in 'front.' We were
soon spinning along, through tunnels

it was all that we could do to hold on to

impossible to ask him to slacken down.

he lost a kettle overheard and stopped
to pick it up, and then 1 demonstrated
with him and told him to slacken speed,

sake of getting to Los Andes a few
minutes sooner. He said there was no

said the terms of peace, which are still
