Last week the chairman Of the Fort
Henry tablet committee was notified
that the Wheeling passenger commit
tee had recommended rate Of one fare
for the round trip Into Wheeling for
Dewey Day" in the territory within a
radius Of one hundred miles. Chair
man Garvin then requested that the
rate be extended to cover two hum
bred mile radius. Yesterday. Passenger
Agent TOmllnson, Of the Pan Handle,
said that to extend the radius as de-
sired 1t would be necessary to take the
matter up with the higher trafii1 asso.
citation, and, besides. he believed that
more people would come from within
the one hundred mileI radius than
Wheeling will be able to accommodate
comfortably. while from the larger ter
ritory in the two hundred mile radius,
the low rate would assuredly bring
crowds Of such proportions that the
railroads would be unable TO handle
them expeditiously, and the town
would be swamped.

state Board Of Review Fixes Equalization
Of Real Estate Assessments.
Dies MONKS, July 2s.-The state
board of review has completed the
equalization of the assessment made
by counties Of the real estate Of Iowa.
Exclusive of Mahasha county, the
real estate assessment of the state
amounts to about $392, 100000. The
real estate OF Mahaslka county will
amount to about s5,OO0.0Oo. Last
year the total assessment Of real es'
tate was SAL, 100000. The total de.
crease, therefore, is about $4,000, 900.
This is the taxable value. The board
of review, IN equalizing among coun.
ties, raised twenty.one counties from
to 8 per cent ON the actual valua'
ton and decreased four from 3 to S
per cent. The total decrease was ST.
4O4, 600, actual value, and the total in
crease was $l2,O43,72. The net in.
crease of actual value. therefore, is
S., 500, O33. The board discussed the
situation very extensively and care
fully, and ended by deciding not . to
make a wholesale increase, but tc
limit itself to the usual equalization.
The counties which we're changed
were the following, being increased
or decreased by the per cent given on
the actual valuations:
