INSTRUCTIONS TO ASSESSORS.
They Are Being Sent Out by State
Board of Review.

Instructions to assessors, prepared by
the state board OF review are being re.
ceived by the county auditors through.
out the state. The most interesting
feature of the instructionsis paragraph
that says the board of review is in receipt
of information that the assessors in
several counties have omitted to have
the statements of monies and credits
duly filed out. signed and sworn to by
each person, partnership, corporation
or associations assessed, as provided by
law. The instructions recommended
that the boardlo supervisors in all coun-
ties see to it that this duty is performed
in each instance before allowing any fees
or compensation to the assessor.
The discovery Of this neglect on the
part of the assessors, have been made by
tax ferrets in their explorations through
the records of number cf the counties.
Instead of getting signed and sworn
statements of lists of monies and credits,
the assessors in many cases have merely
secured lists neither signed nor sworn 10.

THE
OPEN TONIGHT
Secret Service" the Opening Bill,
Said to Be a Splendid Military
Play.

Fresh from one of the most brilliant
dramatic triumphs ever scored in San
Francisco, the Frawley company has
come to this city and will begin it's
engagement this evening at the Grand
Opera house with the performance of
Secret Service" On this occasion the
company is headed by 1T. Daniel him
self, as he is f~acetiously referred to by
his many friends, and is the largest
ever carried by the actor-manager, in
Guiding 80 embers
Secret Service" the opening bill, is
generally deemed the best military play
ever written. William Gillette, it's au-
thor, has also written Held by the
Enemy Too Much Johnson All the
Comforts of Home" Sherlock Holmes"
and other successful plays. Secret
Service" is a military piece without the
roar and rattle of actual combat, a
martial effect being given by the boom
ing OF distant cannon. Besides being a
great war Drama, it is admitted to be
one of the best stage creations ever
produced by IN American author. The
scenes are laid in Richmond, Va, during
the civil war, and the piece is therefore
q romance of the confederacy. While
the play is intense and thrilling in char
acter, it is frequently relieved by those
delicious comedy scenes which Gillette
knows so well how to pen.
Other plays to be produced are "The
Sporting Duchess" which ran in New
