AN ABSENT DOG
For Whose Dead Body a Sea: oh
 Warrant is Wanted.

i Judge. I want Q search warrant to search for the body of my dead dog. This was the exclamation of Henry
 Baswftz as he rushed into the record er's office yesterday. The recorder in formed him that to the best of h-s knowledge he had no authority 70 :s- sue search warrants. MT. Baswltz
 said he had been referred to the city
 recorder. He first went to Justice
 Johnstone's court, where he was ad-
 vised to see the district attorney. H. went there and after his fruitless tTdp
 to the district attorneys office he re-
 paired to Justice GTay's court. There he was readvised to seek relief at the recorders court. He went back to interview Recorder Jobs, who had not changed his opinion as to his author ity
 There is q story back of this una walking attempt to secure search warrant MT. Baswfsz resides on East Washington street, and Richard Fletcher lives on the opposite s:de Of the street. Baswitz owned a pug dog which was the pet of his household. Fletcher formed dislike for he dog, which he says had kept him awake. A pistol shot was heard in that neigh .borhood between four and five o'clock yesterday morning and a q g howled Mr. Pitchers damaging statement, together With the shot, howl and dis appearance of the canine, made the Sherlock Holmes in that neightorhood suspect that the dog was no more. There was no corpus delic-u, SO they believed that the body had been con cealed by Mr. Fletcher. Garbage wagons which left the premises were watched closely all day without result At , o'clock in the afternoon Mir. Bas- witz concluded that the dog had been cremated beyond identification.

 necessary; the line will simply be cut lined A route through the open cGun- try and not near railroads will ba selected, but If any difficulty arises in getting right of way, the line will

 quire more than a year for building On the way here from Tucson it will connect with Florence, the Mammoth
 mine. Mesa and Tempe and few small places MT Hitchcliffe says that all lLe pi IAINHtI>1A petA to oA the territory ixill be reached. The company will run off stringers from the line to any point likely to afford . reasonable amount of business. On the southern route the time is not remote when a line will be built to Globe. The line will extend from here to Prescott and will be extended to Jerome independently of wire al- ready connecting those points, After this the company will turn it's at tenticn 10 it's southern line to No gales. Along the whole line at first there will be about eighteen stations with a battery at each place. Ulti- mateIy the system will connect with distant places east of Jerome and west to the coast.

WHEN A DOG DOG?
A Conundrum Under Consideration

Another rag-chewing tournamen
 occurred at the city hall last night

 talked about and referred. or else dis missed and lost. The ghost of the old Dutch ditch, which this councils s predecessor had congratulated itself on having laid stalked into the room. That Dutch diSch was like a cancer, which, # apparently wholly removed, breaks out in a new place. .A petition was brought in signed by property owners living south of the city asking permission to take water from the new ditch through which the city water is delivered into the south part of town. The claim of the peti- fionePs for consideration was based on their purpose to beautify the southern approach to the city. Nothing was done about it, though is was gathered from an interminable and confused discussion that the council feared that

The matter was five s.imes referred to the committee of the whole, and after an hours talk a councilman ashed that the petition be read so that fS gould be ascertained what was wanted

The Republican party has made the best
nominations for the legislative ticket and

i've of party. His associates are men of
the highest integrity, diligence and intel

The candidate for Clerk of the City
Court has made n model Sheriff, and will

And when you come to Scrutinize the
Legislative ticket it will be found that
it is rare, indeed, when men of such sub
stance and character in the community
can be found who are willing to make IL
sacrifice of personal interest for the pub
lie warfare. And this is true of the legis-
lGtive ticket throughout the State. The
question then boils itself down to this:
Are the voters of this State willing to run
the risk of II change, with the Bryan shad-
ow over them, simply on the promise of n
diScredited party to do what party tried

The Democratic record of rcaSSeSSmcnt
is on" long list of pledges nfulillcd; the
Republican,. Il promise followed by speedy
redemption In 1878 the Democratic State
platform contained plank providing for
rcaSscSSmcnt of all the property in the
State. Two years later the promise was
renewed. The General Assembly passed
bill. but it was vetoed by Governor Jack
son. In 1871 the State convention again
adopted rraSSessment as n catch cry, and
the Democratic candidate for Governor, in
all his speeches during the campaign, adj
vOcated it, Yet when the General Assem-
bly, passed Il bill it failed to become a law
owing to the failure of the Executive to
sign it. In 1893 the Democratic platform
made II similar pledge, and the candidates
for the General Assembly in all parts of
the State were required to bind themselves
to further such legislation. A bill was in
troduced and again defeated -Four differ
cnt times that party pledged themselves to

The Republican record Is short and sat
isfactory. In 1898 the Cambridge platform
contained promise that should we carry
the election, Il rcasSeSSmcnt law would be
placed on the statute book. Before the
close of the ensuing session of the General
Assembly in 1896 the bill was passed and
approved.
This law is reasonable without being in
quisit0rinl, and has been extremely bene
fetal. 1t has cqualzcd values in the old
and new city of Baltimore and in Balti
more county. The new assessment of
realty in the old twenty wards of the city
of Baltimore shows decline ofS21 300, 900;
in the belt of the Annex. and in Baltimore
county is shown an increase of SD. 900. 900.
What is surprising to the taxpayer and
the people of Baltimore city is the impor-
tant fact that the realty in the old twenty
wards of the city was not only assessed in
1897 at sd 100000 less than in 1896, but
this assessment and valuation was shown,
Notwithstanding that there were erected
3O,SOu new buildings between the years
1877 and 1896. This shows that the old
taxable basis was not only II farce. but
fraud: those millions of dollars under the
old law wcr" kept upon the tax books for
the purpose Of pulling the wool over the
eyes Of tn" taxpayers and fo0Iiug he pco-
pie. The new law has not only cQualiZed
values. but wiped out favortiSm. The uni
form lax of 30 cents on each hundred dol
lars on certain classes of bonds and stocks
has prevented many persons from moving
from the city to the counties to save the
difference between city and county taxa
tion. and the tax books now show that over
$6.OUO,oOO worth of such bonds has been re-
turned under the new law, while under
the old law there We're only $4,000, 900.
Similar results have been secured in all
parts Of the State.
