Boiled down and skinned off the secret
that Dreyfus was charged with selling
to the German army. which has caused
an international scandal, is as follows:
Russia was afraid that her alliance with
France would cause Germany uneasiness.
and, to prove that the alliance was not
against Germany, obtained proof that the
French army was not ready for war, and
transmitted it to Berlin. This proof ia
the 'ssecret': which Dreyfus was accused

1t SO happens that Syracuse is

ing it necessary for the Santa Fe
company to make division at this
point. Dodge City and La unta
are the two natural points for di-
visions, and their locations being
2o3 miles apart makes too long a
run for the engines from Dodge
City to Coolidge and not long
enough from La Junta to Coolidge.
This inequality these two perma-
nent divisions make, makes 1t al
most certain that sooner or later a
division will be established here.
This being a fact we believe the
company now realizes it to be a
matter Of economy There were

The installation Of officers

The installation of officers and
banquet OF Euclid lodge, No. 81,
A. F. & A. NJ, last Tuesday even
ing, was one. of the most pleasant
social gatherings Of the season.
The members OF the lodge met
early in the evening and installed
the following officers for the ensu-
ing year:
]. c. Talliaferro, worshipful mas
ter; John w. Dean, senior warden;
d. K. Batty, junior warden; K. A.
Steen, secretary; James McNeen,
treasurer; NJ Il. Farwell, senior
deacon; Frank Tomkins, junior
deacon; o. NJ Wells, senior stew
ard; S. Green, junior steward; J..

After the installation the wives
of the members and number of
invited guests assembled in the
lodge room, where they were en-
tertained with music by the Grimes
sisters upon the violin and piano,
and impromptu addresses by the
members and some OF the visitors,
About 10 O'Clock an adjournment
was taken to the hall over Sher-
mans restaurant, where an elegant
luncheon was served by that popu-
lar caterer. One hundred plates
were laid for the banquet and every
chair was occupied. The members
and their guests returned to the
lodge room after the banquet, where
An hour or two was spent in social
converse before the final leave TAX

Ruth Larsen Entertains.

Come and help Ruth Larsen
celebrate her seventh birthday on
Tuesday, the twenty ninth, from
three TO SIX. - Santa Claus.
Thirty-iour OF the little people OF
La Junta received invitations from
Santa, and in spite OF the weather,
all but one responded. The house
was prettlly decorated with Nmas
greens, and the tree, noble
spruce, tastily trimmed with the
pretty things that catch child's
eye, was admired from all sides.
The little birthday child, Ruth,
was dressed in pink, her favorite
color, and ii was curious fact
that pink predominated in the
pretty gifts that were showered
upon her. The children marched
to supper, where the tables were
arranged in horseshoe shape, with
the birthday child and cake at the
head. Then the little ones feasted
on Xmas bread and ladies' fingers,
with an after course of ice cream
and cake. AT each plate was a
dainty box OF candies and nuts.
Several OF the .schildren OF larger
growth" dropped in to look at the
bright little faces around the birth
day board.
Santa made his appearance rather
late, having started on his wheel,
when il began to snow and he had
to transfer his load to a sleigh.
But he did finally arrive to present
each little visitor with popcorn
ball.
Mrs. Larsen was assisted by
Mesdames Brown, Beerbohm, Fin
ney and Caldwell and Bess Cad
we'll.
Among those present were
Misses Helen Andrews, Hester and
Mary Robinson, Beatrice Dubs,
Iva Frost, Mary Beth Bragg, Ger

but here is very good evidence OF
the fact that they can be manipu-
lated to our own undoing. IL is
not very probable that an intend
ing settler would give second
thought to investing in La unta
property if he was apprised of the
fact that our tax rate is IT and 7-Io
mills on the dollar, or over 81. 10
on the sIoo. The low valuation
placed upon property makes the
tax rate necessarily high. A GER
tain amount of money has to be
raised by taxation, and il property
is assessed at one-fourth OF its value
the tax rate will necessarily be four
times what it really would be if
property was assessed at its full
cash value, as the law provides.
The present method OF assessing
property is detriment to every
community in the state, and gives
a false impression to intending set
tiers OF our real condition and linn
itless resources. The state iusti-
tutions are on the eve OF bank
ruptcy because OF lack OF funds
to properly conduct them. The
state levy is limited to 4 mills, and
the low property valuation returned
by the assessors makes II impossI-
bic to realize sufficient revenues to
conduct the affairs of the state and
her institutions. 1t is to be hoped
the incoming legislature will see
fit to make some radical changes
in our revenue laws and place them
upon a common sense basis.

County Clerk Wincheil Is Just IN
receip, OF the following ruling made
By the Commissioners OF Internal
Revenue, reversing former rulings
in relation to the tax imposed upon
releases of trust deeds and mort
cages: This Office has given care
full consideration to the question OF
taxation imposed upon releases OF
deeds OF trust and mortgages, in
which these instruments have been
held to be subject to taxation as
conveyances OF land revesting title,
and has decided to modify the rul-
ings heretofore made on these
documents You are hereby ad-
vised that releases OF mortgages
and deeds OF trust considered as
mortgages are now held to be ex-
empt from taxation by this Office,
no matter in what form they are
executed, whether with the solemn
ity OF deed, certificate of salts
faction, or simply as entry OF salts
faction on the margin OF the record
book in which the released deed
mortgage or deed OF trus! is re-
corded.

The body was in the baggage car

of the remains have since been re-
covered, but in case they should be

TAXES FOR 1893.

the tax roll for 1898, and the books
are now in the hands OF County
Treasurer Beerbohm. The taxes
to be collected next year are sII6,
ot6 II, as against sos, 42o.I2 col
lected in 1903, an increase OF $40,
b26 90. The total property valua-
ton in Otero county for the year
1898 IS So, 37+,Io2 as against 81,
42G,475 in 1897, decrease OF s47,-

alton for 1895 was s2,475.b76, bnt
the state board OF equalization or
dered a horizontal reduction Of 10
per cent in the assessment OF rail
road property in the county, and
instead of the total valuation being
$4,000 in excess OF what it was
last year, it is S47,373 less, the
railroad assessment having been re-
duced over sIo2, 900.
The total tax OF SII6, ,o46. II to
be collected in 1899 is divided as
follows, and the amounts collected
in 1898 for the same purposes are
also given for comparison:

The valuation OF property in La
unta for the year 1898 is S344, Io5,
as against S33S,45o in 1897, an in
crease of s5,7I5. The total tax
levy on La Junta property is IT
and 7-Io mills. The levy for city
purposes is 80 mills, an increase
OF 10 mills over last year, caused
by the expense of putting in the
sewer system.
The property valuation of Rocky
Ford for the year 1898 is sI44,235,
as agains, s12S, 545 in 1897, an in
crease of sI5,sss. The total tax
levy in Rocky Ford for 1898 is oS
and 1920 mills, an increase OF 3
mills over last year.
The above figures will easily
demonstrate the absurdity and in
Justice of continuing the present
method of assessing property. The
law provides that all property shall
be assessed at its full cash value,
but there is not an assessor in the
state who makes any pretense OF
living up to the law. No individ-
ual assessor is to blame, as each
one is compelled to pursue the
methods adopted by his fellow-as-
SCISSORS in order to protect his own
people.
If all property were assessed at
its full cash value, as the law pro-
vides, the tax rate would be lower,
and there would be no injustice
done to any one. A person not ia
miliar with our methods OF taxa
tion would at once jump to the
conclusion that we were retrogra-
ding by reading the above figures.
He would at once note the fact that
in the most prosperous year in the
history Of the country the property
valuation of Otero county had de-
creased nearly $50, 900. This is an
absurdity on the face Of it to any
one who is familiar with the actual
conditions.
II is very hard to convince some
people that Figures do not lie.

Ex-President Cleveland Expresses His
Belief in the Success Of the Free
3 Silver Movement

PHILADELPHIA, March 4-Represen-
tatives Of the state organizations Of the
Jeffersonian or gold Democratic party met
here today and resolved to put In the field
a ticket of their own for state offices,
from the governorship down, and for mem
bers Of congress in every district.
A letter from ex-President Cleveland
was read In which he says:
II hope most sincerely that there may be
q sound money movement In Pennsylvania
that will be strong and useful cannot
account for the arrogant confidence OF the
free silver forces except upon the theory
that they are led to believe that there is
very little aggressive effort to be made by
their opponents.
ut is strange that the apparent apathy
in many Of our sound money states should
give plausibility to such belief. If any
one believing with US supposes that free
silver can be prevented from controlling
the two houses Of the next congress with
out effective organization and hard work.
the quicker he abandons that idea the
more useful he vii be as sound money
man.
II am SO anxious In my desire to see our
country blessed with safe money and a
suitable financial system that I am of the
opinion that we ought to give patriotic
and consistent support to any plan which
insures this result and which has the ele-
ment that promises its successful advocicy.
