State Board of Equalization.

The state board of review will un'
dertake the equalization of assessment
of live stock and other personal prop,
erty of the state at it's session Monday
Comparisons compiled by Treasurer OF
State Herriot show large discrepancy
i'll the value of cattle in different com
ties of the state. The following gives
some of the different assessments OF
different classes of cattle:
Feeding cattle-Adams county $50;
Cedar county, $4S.O7; Lyon county,
$2O.49; Dallas county, $2611; average
for the state, $37. %.
One year old Decentralization 1914
Greene, $2375; Louisa, $24; Washing
ton, $24; Emmett, $l2.34; Lyon,
$l3.16; Winnebago, $l1.35; average
for the state, $500.
Three year old steers-Van Buren,,
$54.23 Washington, $50; Louisa,
$40; Linn, SAL; Appanoose, $2O.7O; Lu-
cas-, $24; average for the state, $37 %.
One year old steers sewerage for the
state, $23.71.
Two year old heifers-average for
the state, $24. 80
Two year old steers average for the
state, $32.65.
Mr.. HerriOt's figures not only show
this great discrepancy between assess
ments among counties, but they show
a like discrepancy as between the
southern and northern sections of the
state. For Instance i'll the northern
half of the state yearling heifers are as
sessed at an average of $l645, while in
the southern half they are assessed at
an average of $2O.4S. Yearling steers
in the southern half are assessed at an
average of $26.69, while in the northern
half ut $20.77 .-State Register.

The Cummins men, in their zeal to
push instructions wherever they have
the power, have made an exhibition of
themselves over in Poweshiek county
where the county convention not only
instructed its candidate for representa-
tive for Cummins, but the holdovcr
senator from the Keokuk- Poweshiek
district as we'll. From whence they
obtained the authority to instruct the
senator from which they are only a
part, doth not appear on the face of
the instructions, especially as Keokuk
county is for Gear. Such action has
weight a good deal like the resolutions
for Cummins in the democratic county
of Carroll. 1t may amount to some
thing, but it is not likely to, except in
Des Moines daily paper headlines.

Plans are now being completed by
assistant secretary of war Mikleiohn to
take the census of Cuba and the an
nouncement is made from Washington
that this census is preparatory to the
establishment of civil government for
the Cubans in which they will elect
their own local officers. The people of
the United States are thus carrying
out their pledge to Cuba and the world
that the Cubans are to have self gov
eminent as soon as they are capable of
exercising it.

cause the requirements are high
and few boys are prepared for
college. Those who are pre-

LETTER FROM CAPT. SLOAN.
Smithville, Ark.
Sept. %. 1899.

Editor RECORD:-Y gu will
please state in your paper OF this
weeks issue that at the meeting
of the bondsmen of Thos. Wiki
ms, sheriff OF your county at
Hardy on last Saturday, a mo-
ton was first made that the
shortage be settled according to
law, which Was carried almost
unanimously, to which | heartily
concurred and agreed. Later,
however, a vote was taken to
settle, the matter according to the
affidavits attached to the bond,
and was endorsed and voted by
a large majority. To this action
| heartily objected. 1t is putting
upon me the burden Of the bond,
about one third of the entire
amount, and | desire to say that
| prefer to take the action Of the
bondsmen in the first place
agreeing to pay the shortage ac-
cording to law-which is for each
bondsman to pay his legal and
equal part, and have sent in my
full prorata upon that basis Of
settlement. | do think it unjust
for me to pay S275 Of this short
age and for the best men of your
county, who are joint signers of
the bond, to be excused at $40 or
SIS. If | pay any more than my
equal prorata it will be upon a
judgment of the court.
Very Resp't.

DRIFTED 2,4oo MILES.
A Schooner That Has Made an InvCl~
untary Voyage Over the
Pacific Ocean.

The geographers of Europe are talk
ing about remarkable journey, last
year, of little schooner from Tahiti,
and are inclined to think that its in
voluntary wanderings throw light on
the long-vexed question as to how 1t
happens that so many widely-separated
specks of land in the vast expanse of
the Pacific ocean are inhabited. They
believe that many of these islands were
peopled by natives who, while out at
sea in their various craft, were blown
away from their own islands and car
ried to Others of which they had no pre-
vious knowledge.
In March last year party of Tahiti
ian natives sailed from home in
schooner of only 80 tons. They were
not afraid to venture far from home
and, in fact, were bound for Penrhyn
island, in the northwest, and over 700
miles away. These native sailors and
their little boat were caught in
terrible storm, and the schooner lost
her masts and sails and was no longer
navigable. She .drifted around on the
ocean and her crew were powerless to
direct her course. They had consid-
cradle supply Of provisions which they
largely augmented by fishing, and the
rainfall was sufficient to supply them
with all the water they required. Their
sufferings and anxiety, however, were
great, for in the 81 days Of their drift
they did not sight sail or land, and
they feared they were destined to per-
ish in the ocean. At last, however,
when almost worn out by their confine-
mcnt and trouble, they reached the
Hawaiian islands. They had moved al
most constantly to the north, and their
involuntary journey was about 2,4oO
miles in length
In this long drift they had crossed
the two westward moving currents
known as the south and north equa-
torial currents, and the current be-
tween them moving to the east, known
as the equatorial counter current.
These currents are marked on our maps
as though they had quite defnablc
boundaries and regular direction, but
they seem very little to have affected
the movements Of this helpless vessel
which was at the mercy OF the winds
and waters, and the sum total Of their
influence was to carry her little west
of north about 2,400 miles. This en-
percnce adds force to that Of the cap
tolns Of the steamers plying between
British Columbia and Australia who
assert that these currents are not stead
fast, but are quite variable, and differ
very much from season to season In
force, and to some extent in direction,
If there are such extreme variations
In these currents as this evidence seems
to prove, it will be all the easier to ac-
count for the distribution Of the Poly
nesians all over the ocean instead Of
along certain lines marked by the cur
rents, Several years ago the Sun
printed long article telling Of the
many authenticated instances Of In
voluntary wandcrIngS in the Pacific
which had been collected by the late
Prof QuOtrel0gcs and Mr. Otto SIttlg
all tending to prove that the misfor'
tunes of native sailors had the means
ofsprcodlng mankind over the greatest
OF oceans Detroit Free Press
