TO EoUAI1zE ASSESSMENT.
Executive Council Takes Up Live
stock Assessment Question.

stock Assessment Question.
Des Moines, Aug. 4.-The executive
council lost no time, after three days
dissipation in honor of the state con-
vention. in getting down to business
yesterday and resuming work on the
equalization of the personal property
assessment When the body adjourned
at 4 o'clock a basis of equalization was
practically decided on for the live stock.
This is the most serious feature of the
'eaualization The wide divergences
between values of the same classes of
stock in different counties have been
explained heretofore. The council de-
cided that a really satisfactory equali-
cation was next to impossible.
.One assessment of live stock ought
to be properly and fairly equalized in
this state" said a member of the coun-
Gil. land then used as a basis in fu-
ture. II we leave a steer worth s35 IN
one county and $50 in the adjoining
the assessors will have nothing
by which to guide themselves next year
in the effort to make more equitable
distribution of values. 1t we could
euualize it as it ought to be, the assess
ors could then use the present assess
ment as guide in future. But how te
do it we don't know. 1t is about set
tied that we will make no important
changes.
The state was divided into nine sec
tons for the purpose of comparison

NEW RAILROAD PROMISES
Nevada Representative

IANcsudct lNVlJi~pSiiNetsA'~.J
Secretary Wardell, of the Duluth &
New Orleans railroad, in his speech at
the public meeting at the court house
last March indicated August as the
date on which the road might be ex-
pected to be In operation between Me-
vada and Des Aioines. Delays are. how
ever. incidental to all enterprises both
large and small; but it will be neces-
5sary for the company to begin very
soon to turn over dirt in large quanti-
ties. or it viii be unable to fulfill the
conditions upon which the tax was
voted. to-wt: that the road should be
in operation between Nevada and Dies
Mones within one year from the 18th
of May. 1899. The explanation which
the company officials give for the un-
looked for delay about beginning the
work of actual construction is that the
rise in the price of steel rails has caused
contractors to hesitate about entering
into definite agreements for the build
ing of the road.

ONE DESCRIPTION OF GOLF.

htUhUK N5sttt SIty.J
What induces staid bankers and bust
ness men to play golf over broken
meadow in the hot sun? A keokuk
bank president said that the men who
had sedentary occupations are becom-
ing worked up about preserving their
health by exercise. Then he went on
TO say that when man put that darned
little. white ball on pile of sand and
struck ut it to knock it over into Illinois
and missed 1t entirely-he swore he
would learn to knock that darned ball
where he pleased. Learning to do that
is the game of golf. I is interesting to
know that getting the worst of propo-
sition like that has had more influence
ON man than the tons of health rules
that have gone back to the mills as
waste paper.

Johnson for his services as assignee.
In his testimony today Plankinton adj
mitted he had never personally looked
up q single claim of the bank, that he
knew nothing of dozens of claims and
did not know their status and that he
had made no effort to collect beyond a
simple request for the money. He said
he had released thousands of dollars
worth of debts in the hope that the
debtors would some time get on their
feet and pay up.
Toward the close of the examination
the examining attorney asked the wit
ness if he did not pay himself the sum
of $4,000 for his services without an
order of the court, and without notify
ing the creditors. Mr.. Plankinton adj
mitted having done this. but explained
that he finally got an order from Judge
Johnson ratifying his account. After
this he notified the creditors that he had
drawn the money. When asked what he
got for the Lappin property, inventor
led at s1S0000, Mr.. Plankinton replied
that he did not know. He explained
that he knew that is was more than
$50. 600
