COSTLY ERRORS.
II. Il. & T. Has Suffered by
Clerical Mistakes.
Claims to Have OVerpaid Several
Thousand Dollars In Taxes.
ARE TOO MANY MILES.
Branches Topped OFF But Still
on Books.
Require Extra Work to Make
Corrections.
ARE TOO MANY MILES.

The state auditor is just now busy
Strengthening out a tangle in the as
sessment of the property of the NJ, K.
& T. railroad, which viii save the COM
pany the expenditure of several thous-
and dollars in taxes.
The error which is now being cor
rected was due to an oversight on the
part of the tax commissioner for the
company. Last year the rolling stock
was reported on ], 210 miles OF road. This
year the same report was made, but
since the last assessment the company
has segregated one branch, so that now
the total mileage in Kansas is SO
The rolling stock On-the branch which
has been detached from the system is
not taxable in this state. The valua-
ton is about $4,000
The abstracts of the assessed valua-
ton have been issued from the office
Of the state auditor since early in the
spring and the county clerks have ex-
tended the assessment on the tax rolls
of the county. The reduction which
will now necessarily be made will cause
extra expense in the auditors office,
as well in the offices OF the county
clerks of Bourbon, Crawford and La
bette counties.
In a letter to the state auditor, T. N.
Sedgwick, general attorney for the
company, says:
This additional expense will be
cheerfuIly borne by this company, if the
corrections can be secured
The railroad assessors have been
compelled to deny another request
made by this company. An error was
made, amounting to several thousand
dollars, in the bookkeeping in the aud
itOr'S Office, under the last administra-
ton, during which time Captain w. H.
Morris was auditor
In returning the valuation of the
property of the company hand cars
were assessed at $40 each. This valua-
ton appears on the returns correctly
auditors office in 1898, extended the
valuations the hand cars were carried
to the fOOtingS as assessed at $500 each.
This made a difference of several
thousand dollars upon which the COM
pany last year paid the tax.
In examining the records connected
with the changes in the valuation of the
rolling stock on the system as it is now
constituted the error OF 1883 was dis
covered.
The company officials Immediately
requested the Republican board of as
SCISSORS to correct the error and refund
the money paid in excess taxes on the
hand cars. This the board was unable
to do. This is due to the fact that the
, money has been paid into the treasures
of the various counties through which
the read operates and in the due course
of time found it's way into the state
treasury As no money can be taken
from the treasury except on specific
appropriations the state officials COM
prising the board of assessors have no
power to act. Consequently the petit
ton of the Katy has been refused and
the company is out the amount of ex-
ira money expended owing to an error
in the records of the department as
Rept by Captain Morris employees.

city, will tomorrow publish a card, in
which he accuses Hoke Smith, who is

of enmity to his (Grady's) dead father.
Mr.. Grady accuses Mr. Smith of bolster

his opponent, even after Grady had been
Endorsed by all elements in the city and
by meetings called expressly by Hutch

He then goes on to say: Mr. Smith

Battened Hatches.
HER CARGO ABLAZE.
Passengers Are Taken Off
Fight With Flames Begins.
All Efforts to Save Her Prove
Fruitless.

New York, Oct. 6-The Mallory line
steamer Leona was burned and sunk
at her wharf in East river last night.
The cargo, consisting of tobacco and s.
900 bales of cotton and valued at $780,
600 to 100000 is a total loss, and the
boat is little better than a wreck.
1t is believed that the Leona which
sailed from Galveston September q,
caught fire at sea several days ago,
since which time she has proceeded at
full speed, with battened matches, for
this port. At $3.50 in the afternoon the
Leona came racing up East river to
her pier, where haste was made to de-
bark the passengers and open the
matches. An hour later an army of men

AS soon as the Leona made fast to
her pier, about 4 o'clock, the officers of
the vessel, commanded by Captain

crew to try to put out the fire in the
hold without calling the fire depart

possible and an alarm was sent in BY

water to make her settle. When the
ship showed evidence OF listing to star
board most of the firemen left her by
sliding down a. hose which was fasten-
ed to the wheel.
About half a dozen men who were on
the starboard side of the boat were I'M

GIFT TO THE PRESIDENT.
Bronze Bust of the Brazilian Goddess
of Liberty.

u AAADSGSJ@
Washington, Oct. 6.-Chas. Page
Bryan, United States minister to Bra
I'll, has arrived in Washington and
called at the state department to pay
his respects to Secretary Hay, en- route
to his home in Chicago.
He is on leave of absence from his
post, and has several matters of bust
ness to discharge while in the United
States. Mr.. Bran has been doing eff
fective work in Brazil in the direction
of enlarging the trade opportunities of
Americans. He has already under pre-
paratiOn a trade treaty, which is ex-
pected to be of the greatest mutual
benefit to the United States and Brazil.
Naturally, after their experience with
their last reciprocity agreement with
the United States, the Brazilians are
not enthusiastic advocates of any treaty
on the same lines, so it is to Mr.. Bryan's
credit that he has been able to accom-
plish something in the direction of
trade extension at this time Minister
Bryan brought with him from Brazil
a bronze bust of the Brazilian Goddess
Of Liberty. A number of prominent citi-
zens of Brazil had requested that it be
presented to President Mckinley. Mr.
Bryan made the presentation today.

CANNED GOODS TO ADVANCE

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Canned goods manu-

largest plants in Iowa and Illinois,
gathered at the Sherman House yester-
day to discuss trade conditions and to
attempt the solution of a problem in
economics.
Corn is cheap on account of heavy
crops and prices to the consumer should
be low for that reason, but there has
been an advance in the price of tin
plate and the resultant advance in tin
cans. While no agreement in prices
was reached a scale will be decided
upon at the joint convention of the
Western Canned Goods Packers as

association, and the Supply Mems as

however, that an advance in canned

lenient with them and they were dis
charged.
Richard Eagan and James Murphy, two
husky youths. quarreled about the tenn

till they reached Third and Mission streets
on their way home. Murphy was getting
