list being furnished the assessor by the
said John F. Baker, should stand as
made, unless the said John F. Baker
can show that tax was paid on the said
personal property in some other state or
county.
If this board now has information
that real or personal property shall have
beer omitted from assessment by mad.
vertence or otherwise. by the assessor,
it is the duty of the board to list the
same. 80 that each parcel or class of
personal property shall be entered on
the assessment list at the true value
thereof, the board to give notice to the
owner or his agent of the intent of the
board to do so, and it is no excuse to
avoid the listing of said personal prop
erty because the same has been moved
into this state, or from n county to
another, and to avoid such assessment
the person assessed must show that he
has been assessed and can make it APP
pear that he has paid or is held for tax
ofsthe current year on the property in
another state or county. In my opinion
the assessment of the Bismarck Cattle
Company Il. P. Baker, AGENT for 300
head of cattle should stand as made by
the assessor, and if there were other
cattle that were not listed by the asses
sor through inadvertencc or otherwise,

FATHER YoUNAN'S PLEA. The Distinguished Missionary Asks for Continued Support of the
 Yo1,fh,c Diracforu

Father Younan lectured yesterday af- ternoon before the solicitors of St. Jos eph's Union. This society, which has for its object the support of the Youths Di- rectory, assemblies semi-annually to hear lecture on charity from some distin- guished clergyman. Before the lecture there was a business meeting in the as- sembly hall, at which Rev. Father Crow ley presided. After a few words of well come Father Crowley gave detailed ac- count of the work done since the last meeting. He stated that during the half year more than 250 boys had been re- ceived into the home and provided for Since the departure of the regular troops for Cuba and the going out of our volun- ceptihle increase in the application for ad- mission. "The children of the soldiers must be looked after at all events" re- marked the reverend speaker, and we want your cooperation in providing for them proper food and clothing. Their fathers are fighting for our flag on for eign soil and they must not feel that the children whom they love are in dire dis tress in a land of plenty. These are our present care and concern and to them we must devote our best efforts as well as our last dollar
 "The work of this society" he contin- ued, lis of the highest importance to the community, and you have reason to feel satisfied and proud of the results of your labors in the past. A number of those who were saved by your untiring energy and zeal shared in the dangers and tri- umphs that have immortalized the name of Admiral Dewey, while one of your wards is now on the way to the Philippines in the capacity of stenographer to General Merritt. These are results of which we as lovers of our country, have reason to be proud"
 Father Crowley then spoke of his diffi- culty in meeting the many demands made upon his depleted exchequer. The solicit ors agreed to put forth their best efforts In the patriotic work of maintaining the Youths Directory.
 Rev D. H. Younan's address was de- livered in the chapel of the institution, which was packed with an attentive au- dience. The eloquent Paulist held the deep interest of his hearers for almost an hour He praised the work which was be- ing accomplished by the Youths Direc- tory and urged all present to take per sonal interest in helping to save the homeless boys.

MET HER SOLDIER LOVE
A Long Pilgrimage Ends in the Rounding Out of
 Pretty Romance.

A portion of one of the prettiest TO- mances of the present war has been en- acted in this city during the past fort night. Let Colonel Anderson, a gruf but kindly old veteran of the Civil War, tell the story as 1t developed under his eyes:
 While on my way to this coast several days ago. he said, my attention was at tracted by young woman who was trav- cling unattended. She was blessed with more than ordinary good looks, was tal- ented and brilliant conversationalist. She soon became a favorite with the other passengers, who were deeply interested in her mission to the Pacific Coast This was to find her brother, comparative in- valid, according to her story who had en- listed in the Montana regiment. AS we drew near our destination she was fairly bubbling over with good nature in arltici- patton of the meeting that was in store for her. She was a stranger here, and 1 volunteered to escort her to the camp up- on our arrival We lost no time after reg istering at a downtown hotel. but made our way at once to the Richmond Camp.
 Upon arriving there l was surprised to hear her inquire for MT. Ferguson, as she had given her name as Miss Holiday. 1 dismissed the matter from my mind. thinking that such a difference was caused by second marriage of one of the

I was stand ing on Market street watching some troops go by. I felt pressure on my arm, and turning around was. greeted by my travelling companion, With her was a stalwart soldier. After the exchange of greetings she introduced her escort as My husband MT. Ferguson!' I could not conceal my surprise. but divined at once the reason for her hasty trip to this coast
 Some days later learned of the inci- dents that led up to the affair. The young couple were natives of Iowa. They were betrothed. but he met with business re- verses and went West to repair his dam aged fortunes. When the war broke out he offered his services to his country and the fortunes of war sent him still further westward.
 "Coincidently with the breaking out of the war Miss Holiday was left an inde- pendent fortune through the death of a relative. She knew of slight affection of the throat from which her lover suf- fered, and her womanly instinct told her that the surgeons would not pass him. This proved true, and she arrived just at the time of his discharge, whereupon they were married. They are now touring the Yosemite, as happy couple as there is in o1l ha NaCf

Some Ofthe Killed andWounde Are Well Known to the
 Military Officers in
San Fran cisco.

The general topic of discussion among the officers at the Presidio Club yesterday afternoon was the battle of Santiago. The suit for the Americans so far was no more than a draw-as General Miles called ft-then the situation was not quite so bad as some might suppose, and that Santiago is doomed to fall there seemed to be no doubt, but its capture, 1t was conceded, would require re-enforcements and much more time than at first expect ed. In one sense the temporary backset, as one of the officers put it, would have healthy effect in that it would convince people that the war with Spain Is by no means picnic, and that the Spaniards are fighters. Hereafter our Government would be better prepared before giving battle, and less attention would be given to the clamor of those who have criticized the administration for moving so slowly.
 Many of the officers killed or wounded in the battle of Santiago were known to the officers now in San Francisco, al- though but few of them ever served in the Department of California They are all highly esteemed by their fellow officers here.
 Lieutenant Ord of the Sixth Infantry. who is among the killed, was the son of the late Major General Ord He enlisted 1t was stationed at the Presidio and was soon promoted to be non-commissioned officer. Leaving here with the First h. fantry, he was promoted to a lieutency and transferred to the Sixth
