1t is the since<e desire of this board

event the tax levy, not only of the

The following letter was addressed
to the boards of commissioners of the
several counties in the state, and eX-
plains itself:
Office State Board of Equalization,
Cheyenne, Wyo., March II, 1S99.-To
the Board of County Commissioners.
Gentlemen: We herewith transmit the
| classification and valuation of live
stock, for the purpose of taxation, as
determined by the state board of equal
i~zation, under the provisions of the
state constitution, for the year A. D..
1899.
We find that it has been the custom
among stookmen lot to return calves,
lambs and colts, coming y~earlings, for
taxation. AS this is an evasion of the
law, a discrimination against other tax
payers, and an injustice to the state
and county government, the board has
classified and valued stock in a way to
preclude such evasion, so that justice
and equality, as between taxpayers may
prevail.
This board, as at present constituted
has been confronted with a difficult
and delicate problem, due, mostly, o
the under valuation of stock in the
past. as compared with the valuation

VOLUNTEERS ASSIST REGULARS
Manila, March 19.-Some of the
rebels recently expelled from Cavite
and the small towns in the vicinity OF
Pasig, combined forces, and last might
as already cabled-attacked a CON-
pany OF the Washington volunteers, a
detached post at Taguig. about a mile
and a half southeast of Pasig.
General Wheaton Immediately rein
forced the Americans with two COM
panies each Of the Washington and the
Oregon regiments. The post had held
the enemy in check, and the fire Of the
reinforced companies repulsed them,
driving them across to an island form
ed by the estuary. They were thus in
front Of the T~wenty-second regulars.
On discovering that they were en-
trapped the rebels fought desperately,
aided materially by the jungle and the
darkness. but they were completely
routed, with heavy loss, after two hours
fighting. The Americans lost two kill
ed and twenty wounded, among the lat
ter Lieutenant Frank Jones.
General Wheaton determined to pun
ish the natives, and at daybreak today
his brigade started in the following
order:
The Sixth artillery, holding the ex-
treme right; the Oregon volunteers,
heading the center; the Washington
regiment keeping to the edge Of the
lake, and the Twenty-secondl regulars
occupying the right of the line, which
swept the whole country along the
lake. in a southeasterly direction, tor
ward General O~venshine's position. The
line thus extended owe two miles of
country, rough and covered with thick
jungle, advanced eleven miles. The
enemy fed, the last Of them being seen
about half past three this afternoon. At
scarcely any time did the Americans
get within 1900 yards OF them.
The troops are returning to Pasig to-
night, exhausted by the hard work un-
der a hot sun. The Oregon regiment
had one man killed and four wounded,
and the Twenty-second regulars one
wounded. According to the oficial re-
ports no fewer than 200 Fdlipinos were
killed.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or our stomach, is a form
of Indigestion resulting from fermenta-
ton of the food. The stomach being
too weak to digest it, the food remains
until fermentation begins, filling the
stomach with gas, and a bitter. sour,
burning taste in the mouth is often
present. This condition soon becomes
chronic and being an every day occur
ence is given but little attention. Be-
cause dyspepsia is not Immediately IA

trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and is becoming rapidly used and pre-
scribed as a radical cure for every form
OF dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
