ASYLUM.

John Wall, brother-in-law of P. A.
II. Franklin, was examined yesterday
by physicians and pronounced insane,
Judge McNally afterwards ordered him
sent to the asylum.
The circumstances connected with
the case are very singular. Wall labors
under the hallucination that Franklin
is about to get the best of him in some
transaction and is very violent.
At the hearing, which was conducted
at the Jail, Mrs. Fanny Knapp, his
sister, said that he was all right until
Monday last, when he took a bottle Of
patent medicine Of some kind and i'm
mediately thereafter showed signs Of
arrangement.
Wall has a suit in court against the
Niagara Mining company, which is set
for Thursday next, but it will have to
be postponed on account of this mis-
fortune.
The action is to recover $4,000. Zane
& Zane are the attorneys for the
afflicted man, and only recently sue
ceeded in getting it set for that date

ASSESSMENT PROGRESSING WELL.

Valuation Will Be About as Heavy
as Last Year.
County Assessor Lynch and his
force of deputies are making things
hum in their efforts to perfect the
outside assessment of the property
embraced within the confines of the
county before the first Monday in
June and make their returns of the
rolls. For the past several weeks the
work has been under way and good
progress is being made. The assessor
stated yesterday afternoon that the
rolls would be in condition for filing
by the date named, the extensions to
be made later.
In a short conversation, Mr.. Lynch
declared that the total assessed valu-
alton Of taxable property in the
county for the year 1895 would remain
practically the same as for 1894, when
it was S41. 100000. There will be some
changes and adjustments, but as a
general proposition the equalizing
will make UP for any decreases. The
heaviest cut in valuation was made
over the river, where the returned
value of real estate is not as high by
a considerable amount as it was DUR
ing the past year. Out in the country,
some few cuts have been made, but
in some instances there have also
been advances, so that the general
total will remain practically the same
as for 1894. Personal property will
also show a decrease. but other
changes made in the city will more
than make up for this reduction.

partner, Mr.. Hunter, are in the city,
having come here for the letting OF the
contracts for the erection of the power
plant and the purchase of the ground
upon which it will be situated. for the
Citizens Electric company. Mr. Boett-
cher was seen at the hotel last night
and said that as yet nothing had been
done, but that matters would so shane
themselves that definite action might be
announced on Monday. 1t is said that
there are several parties who are ready
to bid on the erection of the plant in its
entirety, while there are various ones
who desire to erect the buildings and al
low machinery men to put in the fittings.
L. G. Trent was observed on the ground
last night in close conversation with the
party and it is safe TO say that he will
be one of the bidders if he has not al
ready made an offer.
No one knows just what the plant will
cost when it is completed. but from pri-
vate sources it is gathered that 100000

President Hayes Watches.

The late President Hayes was always
noted for his thrifty habits, but some
things which impressed the multitude
as signs of meanness were really nothing
but ordinary prudence. For example,
we all used to wonder why he would
persist in wearing silver plated watch,
worth possibly So. He was aware that
this practice was known, and any aston
ishment manifested amused him instead
look of surprise he would say, II think
that is plain watch for president of
the United States to carry, but it is
good American make" as if assuming
that this act would counterfeit the effect
of the cheapness of the article. Tho
truth was that almost weekly a deputa
tion of western Indians called upon him,
always bringing presents of some kind
to the great father. Of course he wa7
expected to give something in return,
and the object was to find something
cheap and at the same time acceptable.
Watches were novelty to the Indians,
and to present chief with watch
which the great father himself had
been carrying always impressed him
greatly. Having discovered this and not
caring to distribute gold watches or
even silver ones, Mr.. Hayes hit upon
the expedient of buying nickel watches
at $50 dozen and always made it con-
venient to have one with him against an
emergency. Kate Fields Washington.
