1898 was $685. AS, compared with $2S, ,259

leaving the estimated receipts, other
than from taxes, for the ensuing twelve
months, $4,000 in excess of last year S
estimate. Another $1,000 is gained by
reason of the bond interest being re-
duced on account of the new per cent
series.
The committee had the county as
SCISSORS totals before it, showing less
than s29. 500 600, and s2,0O0,00O short Of
last years totals. a total of about
81. 900. 900 is expected from railroad and
wire line property valuations from the
state board of equalization to be added
yet for taxation by the city, but where
the balance is coming from to make
the taxing values equal to last years
total the committee could not figure
out, unless the county or the state
equaliZerS do some boosting.
Last year the collector was charged
with 1928, ,24015 of taxes to collect, but
the amount realized fell short of this,
on account of uncollectible items and
tax sales. 1t was clear to the commit
tee, however, that the needs of the city
for this year on the estimates at hand
will require a tax levy of mills, pro-
vided. of course, the total assessment
amounts to as much as was settled
upon last year.
AS to the librarys necessities, the
finance committee pretty well agreed
that one-fourth of a mill. yielding
about s7,7O0, would be all that the tax
payers could stand. The library trus-
tees want a third of a mill levied.

those who have not seen what man-eating

squalid huts, imperfectly defended, and
nearly as much isolated among surrounding
wastes of sand as if each group stood alone

by day and night these people are threatened
by dreadful danger which none can en-

Tho Romance of Rome.
Frank Leslie's Monthly.

The Rome we see to-day owes its mys-
tery, its sadness, and it's charm to six and
20 centuries of history, mostly filled with
battle, murder, and sudden death, deeds
horrible in that long past present which
we try to call up, but alternately grand,
fascinating and touching now, as we
shape our scant knowledge into visions
and fill out our broken dreams with the
stuff of fancy. In most mems minds, per-
haps, the charm lies in that very con-
fusion of suggestions, for few indeed know
Rome so we'll as to divide clearly the
truth from the legend in her composition.
Such knowledge is perhaps altogether un-
attainable in any history; it is most
surely so here, where city is built upon

circumstance that can render its presence
overwhelming. Still, such scenes bear but
small proportion to the tragedies enacted
during daylight. Besides their astonishing
capabilities for concealing themselves where
there is little or scarcely any cover, faculty
which these Animnls share with all cats, the
desert surface matches their tawny skins so
well that in light or shadow, among sun
dried heritage, or on its bare ridges and
slopes, crouching lion becomes almost in
visible.
Although the only feline creature ever
deliberately attacking openly, it is but occa-
sionally that this takes place. Like all
species of his genus, the lions structure is
adapted to short bounding rushes or single
spring. He seldom runs, and has little en-
durance at that pace; thus, attacks from

perfect fitness through heredity could make
