An Outlook not Encouraging to
the TAXPAYERS.

1t will not be long before the taxes III
Ormsby county will be $500 on the humid
led, the highest ratio allowed by law.
his is because the County Commits
sioners have made no provision tor a sink
ing fund to meet the bond issues falling
due inside the next three years. There
are the two issues OF Agricultural bonds
for $40. 600 each. and the Indian Schoo
bonds of 10000 Of this 100000. which
the law says must be paid in not less than
$4,000. only one thousand dollars of the
amount having been paid, and the interest
amounting to 81. 500 per annum.
1t was the understanding that the Com
missioners should create a sinking fund to
pay these bonds when they fell due, but
they have l.ut done 50 and in the next
three years they must be paid. This will
require Il tax of $500 on the hundred
nearly double the present rate,

al the corner of Third and Main streets

by Bales who asked which one of them
would deliver a message for him. One
after another four lads were taken behind
the buildings in sort OF a!leyway and in

to two of them. None of the lads would
accede 10 Bales requests. whatever their

LODGING HOUSE BURGLARlzED
Thieves Enter Five Rooms By Using Nippcrs
A Neat, Clean Job


Burglars entered the two-story lodging
house at 537 Maple avenue, run by Mrs.
M. Schotield, between the hours of ? and
o'clock yesterday morning, and although
light haul was made, the thieves did
their work with great deXterity and silence.
The job was evidently the work of experts,
and in its nature strongly resembles sew
eral cases OF like character which have
lately been reported to the police.
Entrance was effected by the front door,
which is always left unlocked. and the
doors of five rooms were opened by using
nippers upon the keys, which were in the
locks on the inside.
In every case the occupants OF the apart
ments were undlsturbed, and the first init
nation that a robbery had taken place was
when the landlady, Mrs S,chofield, awoke
about D o'clock and found the door of her
room slightly ajar, which she had securely y
fastened the evening before. A Mr..

lieved of gold filled watch and $6 80 in

silver cased watches we're rejected. but in
one instance the gold chain attached was
detached and taken. A sum total of $26
cash was secured.
In all the rooms entered burned wax
tapers were found scattered upon the floor
The thieves did their work with the utmost
silence, not soul being disturbed in their
s!unbers. No clew was left behind which
will assist in apprehendiug the thieves and
from the smooth character of heir work
both in this and other cases of like nature,
they bid fair to operate with irnpunity.

followed in explanation of tue object of
the conventien. soliciting the individual in
terest OF men and women, splicing her re-
marks with a number of interesting per-
sonal experiences of various campaigns.
Mrs. Mia Tupper Maynard made the third
address of the afternoon, u thoughtful, ar
gun entative discourse, entitled, Enfran-
chisement and Character.
The speakers line of thought ran along
latiou OF womans suffrage to character.
She believed that even if the country did
not need womans vote. she needed it
herself for her self-dependence; that self
dependence was the essential of nobility of
character. Further, the present irresponsi-
biiity everywhere would be neutralized
with woman's vote. With full grown wo-
manhood would come the fullest respon-
siblity in every condition OF life. Miss
Yaes also made short address, after
which the meeting was opened for con-
densed statements why woman should be
given suffrage, to which many brief and
some witty reasons were given by both the
mon and women of the audience.
In the evening an able Grafton was de-
livered by Miss Elizabeth U. Yates, who
was presented in short speech by Mrs.
Alice McColnas. The speaker hailed the
coming of the cnfranchisernent of the
women of California. She also spoke in
congratulatory words of this state, rich in
resources of hidden wealth, in nuggets of
wisdom and iii its wealth of superior
women.
Today at 3 and p. m. similar sessions
will be held. Dr. Kate Moody. Eliza Tup- !
per Wilkes and Mrs. c. Nj. Severance are
