An Article Exemptions.

EDITOR DAWN-We notice a
voluminou> amount OF printers ink
being used in discussing the ex-
emption- OF private property from
taxation and some persons seem to
be in a great hurry to amend the
state constitution in such manner
a. will enable the legislature to
make such exemptions. Now as a
taxpayer we think the constitution
does not need to be amended as
proposed, and that the supreme
court decision declaring the late
law, making such exemptions un-
constitutional, does not need any
apology, for the reason that the
rights and privileges OF citizenship
carry with them the obligation to
defend the government, and defray
the expenses thereof. 1t is hardly
necessary to call your attention to
the fact that the echo OF the de-
struction OF the "Maine," has
reached the rcluOte>t corner Of the
republic, and love OF country has
obliterated party lines in defense
II the most glorious flag that was
ever uniurled to the breeze and
men are rushing forward in
answer to the presidents call for
volunteers. 1t is pleasing to note
that patriotism permeates the
American citizen to such an extent
That voluntary service is usually
strong enough to defend the nations
honor, and it was only in the dir
ct necessity OF civil strife that the
government had to exercise it's
right OF conception. But when it
comes to defray the expenses of
government, we meet with an en-
tirely different phaze Of humanity,
and many persons are trying to get
hold OF the Eight end of the log
and holler for the other fellow to
hump himself" How the exemp-
tons OF the law would have
worl ed, Suppose ncighbors A
and B had the following property,
respectively: \ has $500 worth of
personal property and $500 worth
OF improvement. on land and b has
$1,000 worth OF personal property
and $1,000 worth OF improvements
on land. Under the law A would
have been exempt from paying any
taxes, while hi. neighbor b would
have had to pay tax on $1OOO-A
going scot free. Now A has the
same rights and privileges Of citi-
zenship that B has, and perhaps
has larger income which he spends
in social enjoyment, possibly in
the follies OF life, or he may be
holding down Il good office and is
scheming to get reelected, while B
is digging living out Of the soil or
hamnering it out Of the forge or
carpenters bench, and to pay the
taxes on two citizenships is bur-
den on b, as his taxes are increased

The Expert Rifeman Makes an Ex- ceptional Score at Schuetzen
 Park

 A. Strecker of the California Schuetzen Club stands crowned to-day as not only the king of that clubs monthly bullseye cash prize shoot, but in a friendly contest with K. W. Mclaughlin he was the victor by IS points, though laboring under han dicap of 20 points. Andrew, Charles Ander- sons youngster, proved too powerful a mascot for the forces of shootwide to con- Quer.
 In this shoot only one bullseye was counted, and the one making the smallest score proved the happiest rifleman. A large number shot, the principal scores being as follows:

MRS. sEYMoUR's DENIAL.
Didn't Threaten to Kill Her Husband and Never Had a Quarrel With
 Him

''Did threaten to kill my husband7 No, neveri'
 So said Mrs, s. H. Seymour last evening in her apartments at the Baldwin Hotel when asked if she had any statement to make in regard to the published an- nouncement that Mir. Seymour had de- cided to institute divorce proceedings.
 q was very much surprised upon read ing the article in The Call,' said she. However, she did not seem very much dis turbed over the publication, and had evil dently recovered from the effects of the shock. 'I have been holding a levee all day" she continued, answering the ques- tions of sympathizing callers. There is no truth in the publication. 1 don't believe Seymour ever said what he is credited with saying in that Los Angeles dispatch. He will be here Monday evening, and then I'll find out. I got a letter from him on the 18th. We never had a quarrel since we were married nineteen years ago. have no grounds for divorce and I know he hasn't. People have been trying to separate us for years. About four years ago they had us separated in a weekly paper. We are still together, and there is no more truth in the present story than there was in the other one. It may be possible that this rumor started from a divorce case brought by another man of the same name as that of my husband. It may be a case of mistaken identity"

TROOPS DISSATISFIED.
Washington Volunteers Want Fair Show, Even if New
 Colonel Is Necessary

The Washington Volunteers have been at a loss to know why they have been overlooked in the assignment of troops for Manila, and are considerably worked up over an alleged explanation given in a Seattle dispatch, which states that no opportunity will be given them to do bat tie with the Spaniards The dispatch states that "Colonel Wholley's elevation from a second lieutenancy in colored company to the command of the Wash ington troops has so embittered the men who formerly served with him at Van couver in the Fourteenth Infantry that they have leagued themselves against the Washington volunteers and have sufficient influence to prevent them from going to the Philippines"
 Colonel Wholley was appointed from the regulars by Governor Rogers. Some or the Washington officers at Fontana bar racks are much agitated over the situa- ton and think it unfair to punish whole regiment on account of Colonel Wholley.
 "Iet them call Wholley off and give us a chance under some one else, said prominent officer last evening. We had nothing to do with Wholley's appoint Ineut' "

CHAPMAN WILL RECOVER.
Lieutenant COnrad's Conduct Will Be Thoroughly In
 vestiqated by a Board.

Private Harry Chapman of Company H of the South Dakota Volun- teers. who on Saturday suffered severe injuries at the hands of Lieutenant Conrad of the First Montanas. is on the high road to recovery. His injuries proved to be not so serious as at first reported by the surgeons.
 Nevertheless there is being made by Captain Englesby of Chapmans regiment a thorough investigation of the trouble that led up to the disastrous assault and of Lieutenant Conrad's conduct.
 Conrad was formerly an officer of Com pany M, but 1t is said he made himself highly unpopular with every man of his company and was transferred to Com pany H, his present command.
 Conrad, besides being man or high temper, is considered by his men a mili- tary martinet of the most offensive type; he is no better loved by his present com pany than by his last.
 The consensus of opinion among the men of the Montanas is that the order of things In the recent row should have been reversed.
 If the investigation now pending uncov- CTS sufficient evidence to warrant it., an official hearing will undoubtedly result.

SUNDAY AT THE CAMP.
Attorney General and Mrs. Fitzgerald Dined by Brig
 adler General Otis.

Yesterday was beyond doubt one of the most disagreeable days that the soldiers at Camp Merritt have been subjected to. strong wind, that in its velocity amounted almost to a hurricane, blew clouds of dust and sand over everybody and everything. Despite this discomfort the usual Sunday crowd visited the camp, saw the same sights, asked the same questions, and appeared to find the same pleasure they experienced on for mer visits.
 The Seventh California has borne its disappointment over not going on the next expedition in true soldierly fashion, and, while the officers and men feel blue over the matter, they are not complain ing It is an i'll wind that blows nobody good and the men were made happy yes terday by an order received rom brl- gade headquarters announcing that the regiment will be paid at 10 o'clock this

SCIENTISTS ARE IGNORED.
Professor Winston Sets Aside tn
 Theories of the Masters.

Professor William Windsor 1ectured at Metropolitan Temple last night on The Sun" He had a good audience. and his address was illustrated copiously with photo-opticon views.
 The professor is quite dogmatic in his views. He set forth that all scientists are wrong in their theories of the suns heat Ut is not caused by gases or by heat on the sum- said the lecturer, but by elec~ tricity, which generates no heat until it strikes the atmosphere of the planets. Beyond our atmosphere there is neither heat nor light, which shows that my theory is true Let me tell you, also. that all the scientists are wrong regarding tho cause of meteorS and the danger from comets. There never was a comet that has struck this earth and there will never be such thing happen, for the reason that the magnetism of the earth will re- pei all such dangers"
 In a like way the professor differed from the views of all astronomers, mental pilil- osophers and physicist in the realm of chemistry, physics and general science.
