CELEBRATION AT BOSTON.
One Hundred and TSyenty-,Thfrd An
niversary of Battle of Bunker
Hill FittinEly Observed.

Boston, June 10. The one hundred
and twenty-thfrd anniversary of the
battle of Bunker Hill was celebrated
Saturday with parades, banquets, re-
Unions of patriotic societies and general
festivities. The center of the demon
stration was at Charlestown and added
interest was felt on account of the
presence of marines and sailors from
the North Atlantic squadron which ar
rived in port Friday. Thousands of
sightseers from all sections of the
state witnessed the parades and the
marines received an ovation of nature
seldom given and long to be remem-
bered.
Headed by band, two full battalions
of four companies of marines from the
New York, Texas, Indiana, Massachu-
sets, Wabash and Lancaster, under
command of Col. II. C. Cochrane, par
tlcipated. Then followed four com
panies of "the men behind the guns"
from the squadron, under command of
Capt. G. j. Train, of the Massachusetts.
The men were greeted with cheers,
mingled with blasts of horns and the
sounds of firearms on all sides.
The parade of the Carnival associa-
ton followed the naval parade. This
was marked by the usual features. The
CIVIC parade was notable by the appear
ance of the Letter Carriers association.

the social features of the occasion
were still more enjoyable to the
writer, than the feast of good things
so bountifully provided and so elegant

heightened by the harmony, friend
snip and esteem in which each neigh

Others. Such gatherings among

TO PUSH FIL1p1Nos HARD.
Aggressive Campaign Against Asuin-
aldo to De ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of
Luzon to BE frightened.

New York, June 19.-According to
Washington correspondent of the
Journal and Advertiser, two important
decisions were made at the meeting of
the cabinet held just before the pres
ident started for Holyoke, referring to
the campaign in the Philippines.
First, that in view of the strength of
Aguinaldo in the north as developed
in dispatches from Gen. Otis, the ag-
gressive campaign against the rebel
chief must be renewed with vigor.
Second, that the army and navy must
cooperate to maintain tight blockade
of Luzon in order to prevent the land
ing of supplies of any character for the
rebel forces.
In renewing the campaign against
Aguinaldo, the president is pursuing
the same policy as that now in opera
ton against the rebel forces in the
south.
President Mckinley expressed sur
prise that the insurgent forces should
be able, apparently, to procure mex
haustible supplies of arms and ammu-
milton, and directions were cabled to
Admiral Watson to cooperate with Gen.
Otis in trying to prevent the landing of
munitions of war on the island of Luz
ION.
A blockade of the island was report
ed established some time ago, but every
encounter with the insurgents demon
strates that they still have abundant
supplies.

mond tornado, it is possible to give a
| summary of the death and destruction
with fair accurateness. The official list
of known dead contains 102 names; five
unidentified bodies have been buried
beside some parts of bodies. A
conservative estimate of the bodies
still in the ruins of people not reported
missing, would be is. This brings the
loss of life to about 1875.
The best estimate on the loss of prop
erty in the city of New Richmond, COM
piled from list of individual property
owners who lost everything, reaches a
total of $55o,o0o. To this may be added
about 100000 for household goods and
other property destroyed in this i'm

buildings totally demolished.
A bold but unsuccessful attempt to
rob the vault of the Manufacturers

cities smaller amounts, but all have

BLOOMING TIME.
Secretary Green, of the State Horti.
cultural Society, Completes an
Interesting Investigation,

Secretary Greene, of the State Horti-I
cultural society, has completed valu-
able investigation as to blooming time
in Iowa. He has prepared map which
will be made public in few days, show
ing the progress of the blooming OF
fruit in this state. His investigation
shows that the American plum began to-
bloom in Iowa this year on April % I'M
Lee and Fremont counties, and adj
vanced steadily at the rate of county,
a day. An arc drawn through Jackson
Polk and Monona counties would indi-s
cate the blooming day for that zone to-
be May 8. The blooming passed into,
Minnesota about May 10. The investi.l
cation shows that the blooming as
cends more rapidly up the Missouri and
Mississippi rivers and less rapidly on
the high table lands in the northwest;
and central western part of the state
There is also difference of from three
to six days in the blooming period be-.
tween the fruit on the south side sandy
soil and the north side clay soil, in the
same counties or vicinity. The Olden-
berg apple is shown by the investiga-s
ton to be behind the plum two or three
days, and later varieties about week
later.

The quarantine, we believe, has
been raised on all the families except
that of Fred Schultz. This is prob
ably maintained because DR.. Price the
attending physician in giving the fam.
lily a certificate, said init there was no
danger from "the contagion" instead
OF humoring the within of board of
health and characterizing it small pox
which he could not do because only a
watery serum had formed under the
pustuleS, instead of pus, Il distinction
that characterizeS chicken pox from
small poX. Removing the quarantine
from the Others before the 40 days is
up is equivalent to a confession from
the board of health that it was mis-
taken in its diagnosis of the disease.

ASSESSMENT TOO LOW.
Falling OF In the Taxable Valuation
of Property May Necessttate q
Change in the Law.

The indications are that there will ba|
a falling off in Iowa of the taxable yalu-
alton of property this year of about
S50,oo0,000. This loss is credited entire.I
ly to the new law. Formerly property
was assessed at supposed 40 per cent
of its value. Under the new law, oper-!
alive this year in full for the first time,
property is assessed at 25 per cent. of
its real value.
1t was believed that rs per cent. oil
the actual value would amount to more
than the old 40 per cent, but this idea
OF the legislature has proved to be al
mistaken one. The figures have BEEN
completed for Polk county, the largest
in the state. The assessment on real
estate fell off under the new law So, 7O0,-l
900. The increase on personal prop
erty was $327,ooO. This makes the total
loss about S3,40o,oO0. Dallas county
has completed its footings, and they
show loss of about Ssoo,OOO The eff
feet will be big decrease in the rev
enues Of the state, and the tax law will
robably have to be changed.
