PROGRESS
In Its Work Reported bv the DeCen-
NAL CITY Board Of EQUALIZATION.

A member of tho Decennial City
Board of Equalization stated to
Leader reporter las, evening that the
Board is making good headway, when
the amount OF preliminary work which
must be done, is considered, and when
the large acreage of ground to be gone
over and the harmonization of widely
differing estimates prevailing often
times on adjoining or nearby pieces of
property, are taken into consideration.
Some people doubtless think that the
Board is a mere figurehead and that its
work consists in formally looking over
few estimates and then giving its
sanction to the matter submitted for
consideration No idea could be far
ther from the truth than this. The
work requires calm and acute judg-
ment and knowledge of the relative
values of property all over the city.
The Board completed the apprase-
ment of the land in the Third Ward.
The members are surprised at the com
parative accuracy OF the estimates in
the ward. and all said that the rate of
appraisement in this ward was the
nearest correct of any that had come
under their observation. A wide dis
crepancy between the estimated values
of property situated on opposite on op-
posite sides of the street was remarked
For instance, on Putnam street, the
ground on the northern side of the
street and situated in the Third ward,
received a much higher valuation than
did the property lying in the Second
Ward and Just across the street. In
some cases the property on the north
7rn side of the street was estimated at
double of that on the other side. AS
the Third Ward was considered ap-
proximately correct, it will be seen
that the estimates in mcst of the other
wards will have to be increased in Or
der to establish a just proportion all
over the city.
The total appraisement of the land
as given by the city's appraisers is
four and one-half million dollars, This
appraisement is not considered by the
Board as sufficient, and a considerable
amount will accordingly be added to

SUGAR
And Northwest Were The Principal
Market Figures,

A little life was put into the stock
market Friday by the pools trying to
bull Sugar and Northwest. The form
er stock was pushed up to 1876, closing
at the high tick of the day, and North
west did likewise, selling up to 1863 1t
is thought hat there is heavy short
interest in the last-named stock.
Speculation is rife on Sugar, and it Is
thought BY some that Havemeyer is
getting ready to restore the dividend to
twelve per cent again. However, no
one knows what the great sugar king
has in mind, and there is no telling
anything about it until his decision is
formally announced.
In general, the market was languld,
and very quiet, though rather firm.
most stocks, especially the Changers,
closing at the highest quotations of
the day. The total number of shares
traded in amounted to ,257 shares,
which, within itself, shows inactivity.
Money loaned at one and one-half per
cent, while the bond market was some
what active and rather firm. A good
bank statement is expected today, and
this is likely to have bouyant effect
on stocks. The war news did not
seem to have any perceptible influence
upon the board. Everything seems to
be pretty well discounted, and tip is
going the rounds that the big fellows
are getting ready for bull movement
upon returning from their summer va
cations.
Wheat fuctuated but little, sagging
somewhat below its opening price
Threshing in the Northwest is bring
ing fairly satisfactory results. Corn
showed considerable strength, because
of the continued hot winds in the

What's In n Name,

There may not be much in name
% far as individuals are concerned, but
as applied to plays the title is almost
lalf the battle. Many a good play has
been failure before it has ever been
produced as the result of being given
I poor title. Next to writing a good
play the most difficult task for the
playwright is to select a good title.
There are few men who are capable of
writing not only good plays, but of
naming them properly. No man in
United States possesses this happy
'aculty to the same marked degree as
Mr.. Charles II. Hoyt. In the long list
of his many successes every title Sc
lected by him has been at once strik-
ing and suggestive of some definite
idea. As in reading newspaper, one
selects the articles having the most at
'ractivc headlines, so theatregOer
buys tickets for the play whose title
strikes his fancy. Moreover, the more
Mr.. Hoyt writes, tho more adept he
seems to become in giving the appro-
pirate names. Take for instance his
great success, "A Midnight Bell" That
title suggests so many humorous and
enjoyable situations that the reader OF
advertisements in papers or on bill
boards Is on the way to the theatre
before he has investigator further
rhe title alone has convinced him that
he entertainment is just what he
wants. There are many new and mp
o-date features introduced in "A Mid
light Bell this season, which comes
% the Auditorium Thursday, Aug. %.

Acuuaintances of Mrs. Julia Semon
were shocked TO hear of her death,
which occurred Friday evening at her
home on Sacra Via. Mrs. Semon had
always enjoyed good health until last
Christmas, when she was afflicted with
asthma and heart trouble. Since that
time her health has been delicate,
Though not in such a degree as to ne
cessitate confinement to her bed.
Last evening she went to a neighbors
residence and sat in the yard for some
time, conversing with her friends,
Suddenly she complained of feeling i'll
and in ten minutes from the first
symptom of sickness, Mrs. Semon
breathed her last.
Mrs. Semen was fifty-eight years
old and was born in Briefenstein
France. For many years Mrs, Semon
has been resident OF this county and
has a wide acquaintance in Marietta
and vicinity.
Her husband has been dead fourteen
years. Nine children survive her, the
majority living in or close to Marietta.
One son lives at Edwardsvllle, ILL.,; a
daughter at New Matamoras and
brother at Lower Newport.
The son living at Edwardsville has
been telegraphed the news OF his
mothers death Until he arrives no
definite arrangements for the funeral
will be made,

will be pained to hear OF her demise
