of Messrs Peterson and King,
however, this last version is prob
ably untrue, as both those gen
tlemen are said to claim that the
assessor is responsible for the
raise, their action being in com
plianCe of a demand from the
assessors office. We understand
Assessor Huff denies this as abb
solutely false and says the board
are commencing to weaken and
want to shift the responsibility of
their action onto other shoulders.
The majority of business men
claim that it is custom to give
in about third Of the cash value
of their stock to the assessor, but
the board has raised this to half
and in some instances more than
half. The bank, we understand,
will carry the matter into the
courts. The others seem resign
ed to their fate and will probably
take their medicine good natur-
edly.

Tbey Make Some Elevations Among the
Business Houses.
NO REASON WHATEVER IS GIVEN.
Quite Roar is Being Made and the First National

Attempts To crswflsh and Lays the Blame on
the AsssssOr-Some are Hot and Others Hotter.

There appears to be no doubt
in the minds of a majority of the
business men in Caldwell but that
the present Board of Equalization
is pronounced failure,-in fact,
a fzzle. The board met last week
and undertook to equalize assess
ments. The proposed raises were
duly published and those raised
appeared before them and regis
tered their kick. The First Ma
tional bank was the first on hand
and registered a $4,000 kick. 1t
appears the board had been mon
keying with the undivided profits
of this institution and also bulled
the stock market to some extent.
Cakes Bros. were also on hand
and entered a protest against a
raise from $2,75o to $4,000. T.
K. Little was elevated from So
900 to $500 and was there in
consequence. T, c. Eglestqh
pleaded eloquently against $2,-
900 elevation and succeeded in
having his rolled back into the
original $4,000 box. A. B. Moss
came all the way from Payette to
save a $I,75o raise, but the raise
remains. L. E. Hay was ele-
waited from $3.50 to $3.50 and
W. H. Redway's assessment was
raised from $1,000 to an even
$4,000. AS neither of these two
gentlemen appeared before the
honorable board, their assess
ments remain as raised. Some
very eloquent and logical pleas
were made by the individuals
raised, but the commissioners
were dumb to entreaties and gave
all but T. c. Egleston & Co., the
marble heart" 1t is said thai
Knox did finally weaken and in
private session made a motion
that all assessments be placed al
the original figures of the asses
Sor, but was overruled by Peter
son and King.
Those raised are hot because

DR.. Isham has kindly handed us the
following article which will no doubt
BIS Of more than passing interest to our
readers, as it contains an account of a
successful experiment in the firing of
explosives that has until now been
deemed an impossibility. The inventor
is brother of DIR. Isham and has been
in Mexico for several years past ex-
perimenting on this, and other matters
in connection with modern explosives.
The account of the experiment made
by the inventor is taken from the
Mexican Herald and is as follows:
A successful test was made yesterday
under the auspices of the Mexican war
department of the firing of dynamite
from an ordinary cannon with ordinary
gunpowder. The extraordinary feat
was accomplished by the use of shell
invented by Mr.. Willard S. Isham ma
tive of Vermont, but for many years a
resident in this city.
The shell was twenty inches long and

bore old fashion Columbiad about ten
feet long. The test was made in a deep
ravine about three miles west of this
city, near the site of the Molino del
Rey battle-ground adjoining The Mex
lean National Foundry Of Chapultepec.
Lieut.. Colonel Felipe G. Moreno of the
artillery corps, in charge of the foun-
dry, and several other officers witness
ed the experiment. Immediately
thereafter Colonel Moreno reported
officially to the secretary of war, Cen
eral Felipe Berriozabal, that the test
was successful in every way.
The powder used was fifteen pounds
of coarse grained black powder manu-
featured at the Mexican government
powder works at Santa Fe near this
Thedynamite used was eighteen pounds
of the Nobel product, seventy-tive per
cent pure nitro glyCeriue. The cannon
Nwas imbedded deep in the bottom of
he raVine and trained on boulder of

The shell, which was constructed under
plans specially prepared by Mr.. Isham,
was made of cast iron, in default of
steel.
Y The inventor carefully packed the
= dynamite in the shell which was intro
duced in the old muzzle loader, aud a
fuse attached. Mrs. Bessie Stems. Bar
rett, wife of Prof. Barrett, the noted
t ornithologist of Burlington, Vermont

Oberdorf of New York Colonel Shepard of Illinois and Lieutenant Governor Jones of Ohio. The Ladies' Aid society will commence its session tomorrow with a good at tendance of delegates.

 New Westminster.

Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 12.-At New Westminster to-day on a wide open space just beyond where the great fire of yesterday stopped city of tents has arisen. Here the provincial govern ment and Vancouver authorities have housed in tents, lent them by the mili- tary department, all homeless suffer- CTS, blankets, by hundreds formed beds and the burned out families seem to be as comfortable as possible. A number of robberies took place during the fire. Johnsons boot store was entered and $6,000 worth of goods stolen. The chief of police believes that, the fire was started by spark from steamer, which ignited material on Brackman and Kers' wharf. Already many mer- chants are starting to build stores and renew business. The Canadian Pacific station baggage room was burned, but everything of value was saved. The insurance companies interested in the losses are: London Assurance con- pany about $1,O00, 900; Commercial As- surance, Royal, London and Lanca- shire, Sun, North British and Mercan- tile, Liverpool, London and Globe, Union, American, Hartford of Connec- ticut, Aetna, Atlas, Alliance, Guardian, Manchester, Western of Toronto, Northern Insurance company and Phoenix of London and Phoenix of Hartford, Lancashire of North Ameri- ca, National of Ireland, Scottish Union.

Roosevelt Endorsed,

New York, Sept. 12.-The central committee of the Citizens union, pre- sided over by R. Fulton Cutting, at a meeting tonight endorsed the ticket headed by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt for governor; nominated by the City club at it's meeting on Friday evening last. The Citizens union authorized the use of the Citizens union name and emblem by the independent citizens committee. It is said that the above action was opposed by some members of the committee, who held that it was foreign to the principles of the Citizens union to endorse the action of any other political organization in the mat ter of nominations. The following nominations for justices of the su- preme court were made: Joseph F. Daly, William G. English and Hamilton Oden. The committee will also select a candidate to be nominated later for Justice of the city court. Isaac Klein, it is stated, advocated the naming of candidate for lieutenant governor to supply the vacancy on the City clubs ticket. A conference for that purpose will, it is said, be held tomorrow.

 Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 12.-The Ad- vertiser will tomorrow print the fol- lowing as a portion of an interview with General Joe Wheeler and state that the general was in the presence of three gentlemen, one of whom is Hon. Samuel Blackwell when talking to the reporter. q do not believe the war is over by any means; neither does Presi- dent Mckinley, who told me personally he had no faith that the peace com mission would settle the difficulties eX- isting with Spain over the Philippines. The Spanish claim that the battles at Manila were fought after the protocol was signed, and on these grounds will refuse to give up the islands" Contin- uing, General Wheeler said: Spain will want us to give up the Philip pines" and, laying emphasis here, i've will never do that. I am going back to duty and really expect to be called into action again.

THE SHERIFF INTERFERED.
Would Not Allow the Erne-Lavtgne
 Ffght-C1ub Will Sue.

Buffalo, Sept. 12-The twenty-round bout for the lightweight championship of the world between Frank Erne of this city and Kid Lavigne, which was to have been the opening contest at the Hawthorne Athletic club at Cheeltow- aga tonight, was stopped by Sheriff Mitigation before the men came togeth- CT in the arena. About four thousand persons had gathered in the big en- closure early in the evening. The sher- if and a score of deputies were in the ring when Lon Beckwith of Cleveland and Jack O'Donnell were ordered on for the preliminary bout. The sheriff declared that he would not permit any contest to take place. John W. Fisher, attorney for the town of Cheektowaga, demanded that the club be given the use of it's property and the boxers were ordered to shake hands. Before a blow could be str1ick the deputies seized the boxers and forced them to their corners and then released them.
 Once more the boxers were ordered to get together. O'Donnell rushed at Beckwith, but the deputies again grap- pied with the boxers and for a few minutes the ring was filled with strug
 gling deputies, fighters and their sec onds, and Beckwith and O'Donnell were again compelled to take their seats. The spectators were greatly excited and roundly denounced the action of the sheriff. but no open act of violence was committed. A long and wordy wrangle between the sheriff and attorney then occurred, and after long delay Beck with and O'Donnell left the ring. An nouncer Mcbride then introduced Erne and Lavigne, saying that they would box under the provisions of the Horton law The men were in their corners, but the sheriff could not be prevailed upon to permit them to get together in friendly sparring match. Finally it was announced that the bout was off. The club officials obtained long list of witnesses and declared that the club would immediately bring an action against the sheriff for damages. The crowd then filed slowly out of the build ing. The Corbett-McCoy contest sched- uled for October 15 will depend upon the result of the action brought against the sheriff. The sheriff did not arrest eith- CT of the principals in the preliminaries. Kid Mccoy was present and was very much disappointed at the result.

Persistent humOrs Ihau an attempt

 Berlin, Sept. 12.-Persistent rumors have been current here during the last few days that, despite all statements to the contrary, an attempt was made upon the life of Queen Wilhelmina three weeks ago. One newspaper, which re- ports an account of the affair, given on the alleged authority of Count Lim- burg Stirum, says that an Italian fla natic fired thrice from the woods while the queen, with three women, was driv- ing near her residence at Soest-Dyk. Two shots went wild, but the third lodged in the arm of Countess Linn burg-Stirum. The queen preserved her presence of mind and ordered the af fair kept a strict secret, owing to the approaching enthronement. The would- be assassin was arrested, so the story goes, and confessed himself an anarch- ist.

Dau CreedOn Whtpned.

New York, Sept. 12.-Jack Bonner, the middleweight pugilist from Summit, Pa., gained an easy victory over Dan Creedon, the Australian boxer, in the second round of their fight at the Greater New York Athletic club to- night. Creedon was knocked down with a heavy right-hand punch on the jaw, and in falling he twisted his right ankle. He tried to regain his feet while the referee was counting off the sec onds, but his ankle was too badly in- tured for him to stand up straight, and he fell again and was counted out. The doctor who attended the Australian found the ankle badly sprained.

ASSASSIN OF 4 usrRIA's EMPRESS.
at the Anthropometrical In-
 stitute tn Geneva.

Geneva, Sept. 12.-On the order of a magistrate, the empress of Austria's assassin was taken this afternoon from St. Anthony prison to Anthropometric- al institute, where he was measured and photographed. Portraits were given to the press and will be distrib- uted to police in cities where he has lived. In the course of a second exam- ination as to his history and the mo- tives for the crime he said he had never known his father or mother. He was brought up at Parma, Italy, in a charity school and, at the age of ten, was thrown on the streets without re- sources. He worked as an unskilled laborer until he was twenty. Then he served in the Italian army three years and a half.
 On leaving his regiment he was em- ployed as the valet of the Prince of Aragon for three months. At this time anarchist ideas began to possess his mind, and to use his own words pre- vented me from remaining in servi- tude" In the course of life of ad- venture he happened to be at Buda- pest in 1894 There for the first time he saw Empress Elizabeth. He was miserable and without work and ap- piled to the Italian consul to return him to Italy. The consul sent him to Plume. His description of his subse- quent wanderings was vague, but he said he seldom, if ever obtained work. While staying at Lausanne he saw a file outside of a junkship, purchased it With no preconceived purpose and made a clumsy wood handle for it.
 In prison he boasted of his crime, and hehas addressed letter to a Milan newspaper expressing a fear lest he be mistaken by Prof. Caesar Lombrosa for a degenerate: He also wrote: Above all it is the great who must be struck Not only sovereigns and their minis ters will be reached by the comrades but all who make men miserable on earth" He says he was not impelled by misery to kill the empress as such a course would have been idiotic, but he committed the deed 'in order that such crimes, following one upon the other, might cause all who impoverish the populace to tremble and shiver." The document concluded with this dec- laration: q am an anarchist by con- yiction' ''
