THEORY OF THE POLICE.

They Believe That the Murderer Was
Acquainted with the Girl.
The Washington police believe that the
crime was committed by man who knew
the territory, and the girl well, and was
known by her. They reason that he killed
her because she did know him, and would
have told.
The police believe that no stranger In
that part of the country would have COM
mitted the deed. Every bit of evidence
tends to show that the criminal knew the
ground.
He attacked the girl at a time and
place favorable to the accomplishments OF
his purposes. He knew that her cries for

 At the Coop. hall on Thursday evening a free dance was given to those who aided in the completion of the brick work on the Mormon taber- nacle. A large crowd of young peo- pie were present and all apparently enjoyed themselves. The candidates for school trustee in district No. 4, Mesa, were H. s. Peterson and D. T. LeBaron. MT. Peterson was elected by majority of ten votes.
 At Lehi district No. 10 D. P. Jones was reelected over H. Simkins, who was also candidate.

Clara Barton's Measures
 of Relief.
Thousands Are Gathering Into
 the Towns.
Awful Destitution Prevails and Only Foreign Aid Saves from
 Starvation.

NEW YORK, April 3-The National Armenian relief committee today re- ceived the following telegram, ad- dressed by Miss Clara Barton to t1he chairman of the committee:
 "CONSTANTINOPLE, April 2, 1896.
 "To Spencer Trask, New York-We have just ordered eight physicians and apothecaries with medical supplies for Beyrout and another caravan of goods into that terribly afflicted district. The sublime Porte ordered every facility given for distribution. Our only hind rance is slow transportation. Steam CTS are fifteen days apart. It is easy ito telegraph money, but supplies are exhausted and must be carried to them. Mrs Lee writes: Mot a yard of cotton in Marash. Smallpox, dys- entery and typhoid are prevalent. No doctors but those we send
 (SigneO PARTON"
 In addition there has been received the following from Marash: There are 12,000 refugees here. The prob lem of how to help sufferers here and in Zeitoun comes upon us with crush ing force. The misery is past human imagination, caused by cold, famine and smallpox. We are using $500 a week for food, clothing and bedding and it is barely inside the starvation rates. Cannot more be sent? Do those who contribute wish us to con- tinue at such a low rate? The medi- cines of Tuesday are exhausted and we have sent for more to Aintab. We forward detailed reports of all moneys used. Tomorrow we cut down one half our help for lack of funds. Thou sands of pounds are needed to save these people from miserable death. When will it come?"
 In response to these pressing de- mands the committee today forwarded to Turkey by cable S10,000.
 A dispatch from Constantinople says: Miss Clara Barton, president of the American Red Cross society, is much disturbed on account of the re- ports circulated in the United States that Red Cross relief is being con- trolled by the Turks. This is not the case. The Turkish government allows the agents of Miss Barton to distribute relief funds, the only stipulation be-

CAPE TOWN, April 3.-News from Matabeleland is meagre, but there are now indications that the rebellion may be checked before it has time to spread dangerously far
 Dispatches received here from Eng land say preparations are being made to send endorsements of 5000 regular troops here at short notice, should such steps be necessary and it is said that 5000 additional troops can be hurried here from India in a very short time.

FRANKLIN'S CONFIRMATION.
Is Now No Opposition Manifested in
 in the Committee.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The sen- ate committee on territories today au- thorized a favorable report on the nomination of B. J. Franklin to suc- ceed Governor Hughes as governor of Arizona. Contrary to expectations no opposition to the confirmation mani fested itself in the committee.

A TREASURER'S SUICIDE.
Despondent Through a Shortage in

OMAHA, April 3.-A special to The Bee from Lincoln says:
 County Treasurer Maxey Cobb, who has been missing for several days, was found dead near town today. He had taken morphine. Financial reverses caused him to commit suicide. Re gently he had settled a shortage of several thousand dollars growing out of the failure of a bank in which he had placed funds.

Bangor's Relief Method.

A novel and effective plan for the re- lief of the suffering poor of Bangor, Me-, has been put in operation by the relief committee of that city this win ter. Paper bags were distributed among the householders, accompanied by printed slip, saying: 'Please put in this bag any contribution you may wish to make, however small, and re- turn to -" The result was very satisfactory. Many people in moderate circumstances had before refrained from giving because of the smallness of their contributions. but this method opened way for the mite of each one to reach the proper channel for the re- lief of the poor. The paper bags were returned, containing groceries, provis- ions that were not immediately perish able, clothing and money. The small individual gift in the aggregate became a mighty collection of food and cloth ing for the relief of distress.

COUNTY TAX SALES.
Progress in Clearing Off the County
 Delinquent List.

Only a couple of weeks now remain to the county treasurer in which to dispose of the property delinquent for taxes for the past year and Treasurer Murray is beginning to hurry up the work. He is now selling over hund- red pieces a day from the court house steps and has reached the letter G on the tax roll. Among the pieces of property disposed of yesterday was one listed to M. H. DeYoung of the San Francisco Chronicle. It was suburb an lot, worth probably s7O0.
 Very few pieces are passing to the territory. In attendance are about a dozen local capitalists, with their eye to the 30 per cent added penalty and their reward will assuredly well com- pensate them for their expenditure Then, of course, there will be pieces that will never be redeemed, held by absent and forgetful owners.
 The crowd is a jolly one that camps beneath the eloquence of the treasurer and while occasionally for an excep- bionally nice bit there is spirited bid ding, it Us ever good natured. The bid ding is somewhat on the nature of a Dutch auction,' the successful one being he who will take the smallest fraction of the property offered for sale and in consideration will pay taxes. Tn this wise only fifteen feet of 200 frontage was the successful bid on one offering of valuable town property.
 The offerings are limited only to the physical ability of the treasurer's clerk to make out the tax receipts, this task taking until midnight every night.

Wrecked by a Cyclone.

st. Louis, May PA tornado
blowing at the rate of eighty miles an
hour struck St. Louis at 5:15 O. clock
this evening and ragged for half an
hour with great fury. AS a result
hundreds of lives were lost on both
sides of the river. Many buildings
were blown down and several river
steamers sank with all on board. 1t
is impossible to estimate the number
of lives lost. The hospitals are full
of injured and the morgue contains
many dead, while numbers of the
slain lay everywhere among the ruins
of the demolished buildings. A por-
ton of the east end of the Eads
bridge was destroyed. The grand
stand at the fair grounds and the
woman's portioniof the'jail were blown
down. The Waters and Pierce oil
works are burned and buildings in
various sections of the town are on
fire. The Plant -four mills and the
st. LOUIS Iron and Steele works were
demolished, and the immense Cup
Piles block was partially destroyed.
The dead and injured are being taken
from the ruins. One thousand peo-
pie killed and wounded.

To Equalize the Assessment.

Anent the question of assessment
Gov. Foster said in his message to
the Legislature:
"The great disparagement- be.
tween rates of assessment of the
same character and value of lands
in different parts of the State, in
deed, often between the same lands
in adjoining parishes, not only
causes unfairness and inequality in
the distribution of the burden Of
taxation but has always wrought
discomfort and has been the cause of
unending controversy and just CON-
plant.
"This discrepancy sometimes &C.
ours in the assessment of lands of
the same value and character and
even of the same ownership but ex-
tending into different parishes and
is so unfair and unjust as to be APP
parent to the most casual observer. "
cit is evident that the rate Of
taxation adjusted to the assessed
valuation OF property, if that as
sessment be uniform, would become
merely varying quantity the former
being required to be low when the
latter was high and vice versa.
"The only practical method by
which this equality and uniformity
can be maintained is by the estab-
lishment of a State Board of Equali-
cation and Review. Such board
should necessarily be of high ex-
allied character, and wisely consti.
tuted, believe, would be most sat
isfactory in its operations and
results. / most earnestly urge the
General Assembly to take this mat
ter into consideration and to reach
some means by which assessments
can be approximately equallzed and
taxation impartially distributed"

Steyvesant Fish, President of the
Illinois Central Railroad, in an ad-
dress before the Grain and Trade
Congress at Charleston, S. c., last
week, among other things, said:
zone of the great hindrances to
the development of the south has
always seemed to me to lie in the
ruinous system of credits under
which planters mortgage their grow
ing crops to the factors. Although
the low prices of cotton during the
last three or four years, and the
growing tendency of the southern
farmers to grow their own supplies
have materially sbettered the situa-
ton in this regard, there still
remains much to be done. In pass
ing let me draw your attention to
the miracle of the southern farmers
having, through the unbounded
natural advantages of soil and CHM
ate been able since the war to grow
crops of cotton and of rice and of
sugar under system of credits in
volving, first and last, the payment
of interest, and the commissions at
rates exceeding 90 per cent per an
mum, and still having something
left to live on and to educate and
clothe their children with. The
wonder is not that the southern
farmers are relatively poor, but that
they have not, under such system,
become charge to the state or fed
the country: No vocation in the
north, or the west even, could stand
such a strain for a series of years.
"Haying many warm and valued
friends among the factors in the
large cities of the Mississippi valley
will excuse me from all suspicion of
hostility to them. / cannot, how
ever, refrain from saying that, in
the earnest eager, bitter strife of
trade which is now being waged the
world over, the middle-man must
go. From the moment that an ear
of corn or bale of cotton leaves
the field until 1t or its product is
consumed, each superfuous hand
ling can be eliminated. The sue
cess of the modern merchant has
for years lam in bringing closer
together the producer and the ulti-
mate consumer. In New York we
have seen the entire class of old
fashioned commission merchants
disappear. Houses whose names
were good on every exchange the
world over have gone into voluntary
or enforced liquidation. The same
thing has prevailed elsewhere, and
will continue"

itself how any people expect to have

patronize merchants at home. Coop
