Most of the heavy owners of personal
property have already paid their taxes
for this year, at the rate Of last year.
which was 81. .31S If the rate is reduced
therefore, as 1t unquestionably will be,
all of these taxpayers will receive re-
bate. Just what this rebate will be is
now necessarily matter of conjecture.
In the first place the Supervisors may
reduce the values fixed by the Assessor.
The tax upon national bank stocks,
valued at 81, 500, 600, may be eliminated.
There may be a further reduction OF as
sessed values Of $5, 100000, to cover un-
collected taxes, making a total loss of
$4,000 600. and a reduction of the total
assessment to 1878, 100000
Upon such an assessed valuation,
with a tax Of 81 on every 800, the rate
would be "a cents. 1t is difficult to oe-
termine. therefore, what the rebate VIII
be, and those property owners that
have paid their personal property tax
will have to wait for what is due them.
a fact in this connection is interesting.
While the personal property roll has
been increased enormously, the fndivid-
ual taxpayers will not have to lay
more this year than they did last year,
as the late of taxation has been de-
creased proportionately as much, II not
more, than the assessed valuation has
been increased. The real estate tax
payers, as already shown, will pay very
much less, as the assessed valuation of
their property has not been increased
materially.
There may still be further rellef 10
the taxpayers by assessing and taxing
bonds The Assessor is determined to
do this, and although he has turned his
assessment rolls over to the Supervis-
.ors, he will nevertheless make an addi-
tion of S21, 900, 900 represented in the as
sessment as bonds.

AN AUTHOR
Who Wrote Books oe Travel, Yet Had
 Never Travelled.

Never Travelled
 New Orleans mes-Democrat: "T used to know a man" said a New Or leans bohemian, "who made living writing stories of travel for boys. He had never been out of Missouri in his life. but he was famous for the graphic fidelity of his description of foreign lands. His reference library consisted of exactly three works: An encyclope- dia, set of United States consular re- ports, covering four or five years, and copy of Woods Natural History" If the scene of the story was to be laid, fer instance, in Borneo, he would be- s.n by reading the Borneo article in lie encyclopedia; then he would turn e the consular reports and look up all the odd and interesting matter he could i'd touching that particular island, aLJ finally he would get a description Of it's animals from Woods. He wrote at an old table on which was glued map of the world covered with sheet of glass. This was constantly before his eyes, so he couldn't go astray on geography, and, as I said before, his descriptions were maryeIs of accuracy. He could draw q better and more re- alistic pen picture of foreign countries than travellers themselves. People thought that he had been a great globe trotter, and, crazy as it sounds, I be- lieve he actually got to thinking so himself. The last time I saw hira he talked about Afghanistan in the easy off-hand vein of a personal observer. If hadn't happened to know that he had been living in s.. Louis all his life I would have s6oTn he had been there.''
