The only fault we have with our as

and assessed for its real value. We don't
want the entire valley put at one figure.
we don't like to be shot at from distance.
All land is not the same nor will it return
the same amount of revenue
Mr.. Silver took few falls out of AS
SCISSOR Sherman, stating that while Sher-
man was clever neighbor, he was, in his
opinion, an incompetent Judge of values
He said that he possessed 500 acres, and
farmed them with the assistance of his
wife. While personally he was general
chore bay, yet he would be obliged to bor-
row money to pay his taxes. He had filed
protest when his land was assessed, but
it did no good, as Sherman declared that
the Board of Equalization would kick" if
he reduced it.
when 1 asked him if the board owned
him or put him in office, he denounced me
as a crank" said Silver.
Mr.. Robbins also possessed 5000 acres
and heartily wished he didn't. Values
were SO high all over, and crops so short,
if he got enough Oft his ten farms to pay
expenses he would be the happiest man
alive. Several others added similar notes
to the same old song, and the board ad-
journed.
Equalizer Beamer declared that he had
heard SO much talk in the same strain
since the opening of the session that at
times he imagined that he had a 150-acre
farm and huge mortgage in the interior
of his head.

SATAN SCORED 4 VICTORY.
SuperstitiOHs Chinese aroused Deer TIL
Error of Priest.

Superstitious Chinese aroused Deer the
Error of Priest.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 27.-Hop Sing, a
Celestial of Heinlenville, was called to his
eternal home Sunday, and because of his
standing as a member of the Heinlen-
vile Chinese upper ten was buried with
great pomp and ceremony this afternoon.
The cortege passing down First street at
tracted a great deal of attention, and &C.
cording to the priests Satan was following
in the rear hunting for the slip of paper
among the hundreds thrown out with
Sings name written therein. According
to the priests, if he found that slip of
paper, Sing would be doomed to an eternal
resting place in perdition.
Near the corner of First and San Carlos
street there was fearful commotion.
The priests yelled, the paid mummies
howled and walled and the cymbals
clashed with a vengeance. The din was
fearful and it was kept up all the way out
to Oak Hill. On inquiry it was learned
that the priests had thrown Sings name
to the winds in front of the old Postoffice,
and it had no sooner left their hands than
Mephistopneles seized it and disappeared
bowling with glee. Ki Chung, a priest
announced that Hops chances of escape
were gone and that already he was being
conveyed to the dark island across the sea.

CHINESE IN AN UPROAR.
Great Excitement Caused by the
Error of a Priest at a
Funeral.
REDS FIRST VICTORY
CHINESE IN AN UPROAR.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 27.-When the
petition of Francis w. Reid to revoke the
letters of administration granted to Kate
Smith on the estate of Peter W. Smith,
deceased, came up to-day, Attorney
Veuve, representing Kate Smith, filed a
demurrer asking that Reds petition be
denied, as it was ambiguous and set forth
no facts why such an order should be
granted. The demurrer was overruled
and the defendant ordered to file an
answer tomorrow.
Peter w. Smith died in 1871, leaving
thirty acres of land in the Willows. The
widow was appointed administrator and
she sold the land to Reid, but the sale was
never confirmed by the court. She mar
ried a man named Lauthier and moved
away.
A short time ago Mr.. Reid petitioned for
letters of administration on the estate in
order to perfect the title to the land. This
matter came to the knowledge of Milton
B. Smith, a son, who was then in Nevada
County. He Immediately came to San
Jose and now wants his distributive share
of his fathers estate, claiming that his
mother had no right to sell the property
without order of the court and appropriate
the proceeds to her own use. The prop
erty is now worth $4,000.
The hearing on the petition was set for
Thursday.

BIG CROPS IN SIGHT.

Notwithstanding the Drought in Some
Sections.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE weather
bureau, in its review of crop conditions
for the week ended July y, says: The
temperature conditions Of the week
have been generally favorable through
out the country, but the northern and
central portions Of the cotton region
have suffered from excessive rains,
while drought conditions in Michigan
and Minnesota have been intensified.
Northern New York, Central Ohio and
Eastern Iowa are also suffering from
drought. Corn has made rapid growth
during the week, and, except in Mich
igan, the general outlook for this crop
is excellent. Arkansas reports the
largest crop in years, and in Kansas,
Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri,
the outlook is most promising.

IOWA REPUBLICANS
DeS MoineS Convention One Of
the Largest Ever Held In
the State.
LAFE YOUNG FOR CHAIRMAN
Contest for the Cubernatorial
Nomination Has Been Ex- =
ceedingIy Hot.

Dies MOINKs, Ia. July 1.-THE Iowa
Republican state convention attracted
more than usual attention on account
of possibilities affecting the presiden.
tial boom of Iowa's favorite son, Will
lam B. Allison. The utterances Of the
temporary chairman of the convention,
Hon. Joseph r. Lane Of Davenport,
were listened to with marked interest
as an outline of the Allison idea as to
the present political situation.
Laf Young will be permanent chair
man.
The weather was perfect and the at
tendance at the convention was the
largest in this history of the party in
in this state. The campaign for guber-
material honors has been one of the
most hotly contested ever known in
Iowa, and has been unique from the
fact that the candidates have organized
and conducted the campaign on the
school district committee plan just as
the state central committee does the
campaign for the election of the ticket.
About Il active candidates entered the
field for governor, Jackson declining to
run for another term last spring. The
field simmered down until only the
following opened headquarters Monday
and sought nominations:
General F. NJ. Drake, Centerville;
Senator James Harlan, Mt. Pleasant;
Senator Matt Parrott, Waterloo; Sena-
tor S. Fl. Harsh. Creston; Secretary of
State w. Mcfarland, Des Moines;
Senator J. T. Kamerar, Webster City
Colonel E. s. Ormsby, Emmettsburg.
When the convention convened the
chances were believed to lie
between the first three for
the nomination in order with General
Drake, a strong favorite to win. The
best estimates on the first ballot were
Drake 400 votes, Hark 800, Parrot 200,
Mcfarland 100, others scattered.
There are l,243 delegates.
There was little interest in the othe,
