THE NEW TAX LAW.
1t Will Be Tested by a Suit Filed
Yesterday Against Assessor

C. B. Rode and William Schulthels, part
ners of the firm of G. B. Rode & Co., have
asked the courts for an injunction to pre-
vent Assessor Siebe from selling certain
personal property for taxes to the amount
of ST. 73, and to have his seizure of the
property declared void. The amount was
claimed by the Assessor for taxes due for
the fiscal year comm encing July 1, 1895,
and ending June 30, 1896.
The plaintiffs contend that the Asses
sor's action was illegal, on the grounds
that the Supervisors had not equalized the
assessment of City property for the period !;
that they had not levied tax for that
period; that the State Board of Equaliza-
ton had not equalized nor fixed the ad
valorem rate of taxation for that year; that
the tax on personal property was not due,
and that the amendment to the act under
which the Sheriff acted was not in force at
the time of the seizure,
This is practically test case to prove
the constitutionality or the contrary of the
new law regarding personal property taxes.

THE DOCTORS ALL DESPAIRED.
The Circumstances Are Peculiar and the
Cure Almost a MiraGle-PGOple Didn't
Believe II at First.
HE WAS TERRIBLY REDUCED.
A Narrow Escape From What
Seemed a Fearful Affliction,
Dimond at Work Again.

LAS VEGAS, N. Mex.-As 1 write 1 can see
railroad men and storekeepers talking in sub
dued tones under the shadow of the depot,
Nothing has occurred to disturb the equal
calm OF this place. until Dimond got sick.
Dimond is one of the best-liked and one of the
most cheerful, whole-souled fellows about here.
Until recently he was in splendid health,
being robust, well-knit fellow. All of sud-
den his stomach went back on him. He could
scarcely eat any solid food. The doctors at first
believed it to be an acute attack of dyspepsia.
AS the days rolled on Dimond showed q
peculiar color in his face. He looked if he
had been poisoned. Examinations were made
of the contents of the poor mans stomach and
no traces of mineral poison could be found.
He grew worse. His pulse was above the
ordinary. So high was his temperature at
times that the doctors were indeed alarmed
His feet and ankles had swollen so he could not
move about Many doctors came to look at
the poor fellow, but nothing could be done for
him. His bowels were in q bad shape, and yet
he had never had bowel trouble before.
His friends talked the matter over and decided
to advise Dimond to use California remedy.
Accordingly, bottle of joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla was procured and directions read.
Dimond took small portion of the medicine,
but his stomach was SO weak he Immediately
tossed it up. After an hour or so another por-
ton of joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla was given
to him. The portions were small, and one of
his friends sat up with him at night giving
little of the medicine every hour to Dimond.
He showed no signs of improvement whatever.
and his friends began to lose faith. Still the
remedy was given to him all the next day. At
night he showed some signs of improvement.
Said he was hungry and asked for some
thing to eat.1 An entire week passed, and Di-
mond began to show signs of recovery, The
peculiar color in. his face gave way to a more
healthy and rugged look. His eyes were
brighter. His head no longer ached. His
bowels moved regularly. In two weeks Die
mond was about the streets talking to his
friends. The doctors don't seem to know ex-
actly what was the matter. Many are the con-
lectures. Some do say Dimond was poisoned.
Others said he ate of some canned goods which
| disagreed with him. Be the matter as it may,
] every one is praising the Californian remedy,
| joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla. The druggists
are all driving brisk trade with this new
| found remedy. While the doctors don't say
much, they are of the belief that joys Veget-
able Sarsaparilla is wonderful blood laxative.
They do tell that this is the only Sarsaparilla
containing laxative which is free from min
erals. 1t is distinctly stated that joys Veget-
able Sarsaparilla contains no mineral drugs
or corrosive mercurial poisons 1t is entirely
vegetable and certainly commends itself to
those persons suffering from blood and bowel
disorders.

.DUM0NT'S STRANGE STORY
A Montgomery-Street Saloon
Keeper Who Said He Was
Held Up.
PROBABLY FATALLY WOUNDED.
Detectives Investigate the Matter
and Report 1t Was Attempted
Suicide.

Police circles were startled yesterday by
the report that tall robber had held up
and fired shot with deadly effect at
Alexander Dumont, saloon-keeper, 513
Montgomery street, about $3.50 o'clock
yesterday morning. Subsequent develop
ments showed that Dumont while crazed
with overindulgence in liquor had fired
the shot with suicidal intent.
Dumont is about % years of age and
lived with his parents at 301 Folsom street.
He purchased the saloon two days ago,
and from the time he took possession he
drank heavily. He had small bedroom
off the bar, where he slept.
A colored man went into the saloon and
saw Dumont with his face covered with
blood yesterday morning. He ran to the
old City Hall station and notified the
police. Policeman Young went to the
saloon and found Dumont in a semi
conscious condition.
At the Receiving Hospital DR.. Petit
found that the bullet had entered Dumont's
mouth, knocking out one of his front teeth
and passed in an upward direction, shatter-
ing the bones of the face and lodging in the
orbit of the left eye behind the eyeball.
The bullet fractured the occipital bone,
producing hemorrhage into the brain, and
from this hemOrrhage the doctor thought
that death would result. When Dumont
recovered consciousness he made the fol-
lowing statement:
was alone in the saloon at 3 80 this morn
ing When-a man who is unknown to me came
in the door. He was very tall man, being
over six feet in height AS l turned to look
at him he asked in a rather loud tone whether
had any money in the place and ordered me
to throw up my hands, at the same time point
ing pistol at my head The stranger was very
close to me when he drew the pistol, and in
stead of obeying the command to throw up my
hands l struck him in the face and grappled
with MIN, calling loudly for help. We struggled
for a few moments, when the tall man sue
ceeded in freeing his right hand and fired q
shot in my face. was dazed by the shot, and
ward.
AS soon as Chief Crowley was apprised
of the statement he detailed Detectives
Byram and Handley to make an investi-
CATION. They made thorough examina-
ton of the premises and came to the con-
clusion that Dumont had fired the shot
himself with the intention of committing
suicide. They found the revolver on the
mantelpiece in Dumont's bedroom under
his hat with one chamber empty. The
bed and floor were covered with blood and
some towels and nightshirt were also
found covered with blood. There were
blood stains on the washstand where Du-
mont had washed the blood from his face,
and other evidences that confirmed them
in their opinion.
Yesterday afternoon Dumont was taken
from the Receiving Hospital to the French
Hospital.

Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday in
support Of motion for new trial before
jury on the ground that he had procured
six more witnesses in his defense, and that
at the time he was convicted of battery on
May Is he did not know that he was on
trial. The motion was granted, and June
5 fixed as the date.
Gordon, on Sunday, May II, arrested
Frank O'Brien, hay and grain merchant
on Sutter and Devisadero Streets for dis
turbing the peace. and O'Brien preferred a
charge of battery against him. The charge
against O'Brien was dismissed by Judge
Joachimsen and Gordon was convicted.
He now claims that he thought only
O'Brien's case was then being tried, and he

GAMES OF CHANCE.

Four SalOon-Keepers Are Fined for
Using Nickel-in-the-Slot Machines.
Four saloon-keepers, Frederick Kesten-
macher, Gustave Falk, Peter Christopher
son and A. Hansen, were found guilty by
Judge Joachimsen yesterday of misde-
meanor, in conducting game of chance in
their respective saloons. The game con-
sisted of the regulation nickel-in-the-slot
machines.
The Judge said: ~ will fine you only
S. each. As you removed the machines, it
is evident that you desired to comply with
the law, and had violated it through igno-
rance.
IT am surprised that the police have not
arrested great many other saloon,keepers
and proprietors of cigar-stores who have
these machines in their places of business
and profit by them.
.'The police can have no difficulty in
making the arrests, as the machines are
used openly in the cigar-stores, and many.
of them can be seen from the sidewalks. "

THE EVENING SESSION.
Professor David Starr Jordan OF
Stanford University Talks
to the Ladies'.

Long before the hour set for the opening
of the session, the auditorium, galleries
and aisles OF the First Congreg gational
Church were crowded.
David Starr Jordan of Stanford Univer-
si5 sty read the first paper. His subject was was
Woman of Evolution" He said:
From the point of view of evolution it is not
so very important what your lives and mind
may be, but what the future will lead to. 1t
does not take very long for one to look on an
audience like this and see the difference be-
tween it and that of our forefathers 200 years
ago. 1t could not have been possible 200 years
ago for such an audience as this to have been
change the history of The next century, but he
cannot very well change the history of the
present generation. That rests with the chill
dren.
He reviewed the harsh conclusions of
Schopenhaue regarding women and refuted
them in many points to the delight OF all
present. Continuing he said:
Each and all of the defects which Schopen-
haue finds in women may be explained in the
history of life. 1t is easier to pick out flaws
with the highest woman OF our time than from
among those from the lower walks of life. The
DEVELOPMENT of women depends on the home.
The tendency of nature is to give the young
the benefits and comforts of the environment
of home; and all through natural history you
find that the more perfect is the development
of the young SO is a ratio with the extent to
which the mother enters into the environment
of home. According to evolution, there must
be an absolute equality between the sexes. If
they are not equal now, they are bound to be
equal in the future.
i've theories cannot live. They destroy life and
hope. All these loose notions which have for
their foundation some of the untenable theO-
ries mus die.
But the mission of Miss Susan B. Anthony
and many others is to teach women their mis-
takes. Women of the past had to toll with the
tyrant. In the present century men are the
same tyrants, but modified. Woman is grad
larging, and as time goes on we may expect to
find her occupying the highest stations in the
land.
President Jordan paid high compli-
ment to woman when he answered Scho-
penhaue's criticisms on the sex. He
thought by divine right of her mental en-
dowments she was qualified to hold posi-
ton equal to mans, and ayowed that it
depended on herself whether she carried
out the plan OF her work.
Woman is in every way the equal of man,
but that fact does not warrant her ambition to
ia ke the place of the other sex in all things.
There should be moderation in her ambition.
She cannot go too far away from the home
in seeking opportunities for the exercise of her
talents. When she does that she fails to grasp
the true idea of her proper sphere of work.
Her great work is Tor the. future. Man lives
in the present, woman in the coming time.
The next generation owes its advancement to
woman. She rocks the cradle of the coming
century, and the inculeation of the thought
which is to mold the new age is left entirely TO
her.

ASA FISK HAD TO PAY,

The License Committee Decided,
However, That He VIII Have
to Stand 1t.

The License Collector has been trying tc
make Asa Fisk pay brokers' license, be.
cause Fisk is doing brokers' business
but the old gentleman refuses to pay it.
Fisk wrote note to the Board of Super
visors the other day asking that he be
heard. a date was set for him, and yester.
day he appeared before the License Com
mittee Of the board and told his tale ot
woe. He said:
Gentlemen, am not liable for brok

$51 quarter, and my business would not
warrant me in paying it. 1 paid pawn.

cess of liquidation. I have only few

and another for $400 and still another fol
$4OO. The others are smaller. This is the
entire list: ,$22 80, $11o, $35, $50, $15o, $685.
$50, $100 and $25.
"Now," continued the old money-lender

of age-77 in fact-and it is not fair to ask
me to take out brokers' license when ]

retire..
Mr.. Benjamin asked Mr.. Fisk if he was
not very wealthy man, and quite able to
pay the license fixed by law for his class OF
business.
'I pay taxes to the amount of $780, 81
said Mr.. Fisk. 81 own considerable real
estate, it is true, but most of it is unpro-
ductive and lies outside. Ny personal
property is all in Boston"
Mr.. King wanted to know If Mr.. Fisk

"And don't you get into the courts a
good deaI-weren't you before Judge Ma
guire several times for instance" 2"
"The only time / was ever before Judge
Mcguire was when my son was getting his
divorce"
After little more of this interesting
catechising of the money-lender, the com.
mittee decided that nothing had been pre-
sented to show that the License Collector
had been in error in requiring him to pay
brokers' license.
Therefore Fisk will have to pay the sum
or retire from business.

LAURA MILEN's CLAIM.
The Late DIR. James Alleged Wife Re

The case of the putative wife of the late
DR.. Charles a. James is still pending.
Yesterday Attorney George D. Shadburne
gave notice of motion to strike out the
answer of Laura Milen in the suit over the
doctors estate, and especially some realty
on Howard street. After DR.. James death
Miss Milen produced contract of her
marriage to him, and now occupies the
Howard-street house.
In her answer she denies being in actual
possession, alleging that she is there simply
on sufferance by Theodore Milen, to whom
the house is rented. Attorney Shadbourne

THE. DURRANT CASE.
1t Has Now Reached the Precincts O
the Superior Court.

It Has Now Reached the Precincts of
the Superior Court.
District Attorney w. S. Barnes yester-
day filed two informations in Judge MUIR
phys count against William Henry Theo-
dore Durrant, charging him with the
murder of Blanche Lamont and Minnie
Williams.
1t was stated in the District Attorneys
Office last night that the case had not been
assigned and considerable speculation is
being INDUCED in at the City Hall as to
whom the presiding Judge will assign
them. From the fact that the informa-
tions were filed in Judge Murphy's court,
it is believed probable that the cases will
be tried by him. At the same time Judge
Murphy's is not technically criminal
court.
The choice is thought to lie between
Judge Wallace and Judge Murphy, and for
several reasons it is believed by the best
informed that the responsibility will fall
upon Judge Murphy.
Judge Sanderson stated yesterday that
he would probably assign the case this
morning.
