OLD AND YOUNG BURGLAR CAUGHT.
Meeting of the Liquor
Dealers.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-Fifteen acres of
land belonging TO the Mccormick
Theological seminary was listed yes
terday for taxation by the board of re-
view. The value set upon the land by
the review board is S7OO,S5O. The tract
is bounded by North Halsted street
and Sheffield, Fullerton and Relden
avenues This property has heretofore
escaped taxation since the time il came
into the hands of the trustees of the
seminary. For years the county has
been trying to have the property listed,
claiming that only five acres of the
twenty-acre tract was used for edu-
cational purposes. Last year the same
property was taxed, but the collection
was successfully resisted in the county
court because the description was
faulty. The property is covered with
houses and cottages which are rented,
the income going to the support of the
institution.

RECEIVE ABUNDANT SUPPLIES
FEW HABITABLE HOUSES

Galveston, Sept. 19-Hopefulness is
the keynote of the situation here now.
Supplies are coming in as fast as they
can de disposed OF and the hungry are
fed while the naked are being clothed.
The work of cleaning up goes rapidly
forward and in a comparatively
short time the wreckage and its grue-
some contents in the way of corpses
will have disappeared and the ground
will be ready for rebuilding. And Gal
weston will be rebuilt; that Is the de-
termination on all hands. What is
wanted now is money. II will take
S5.0OO,000 at the least to give the peo-
pie start again.
Reluctantly one is forced to the opin-
ion that the number 5000 is too low
for the death roll, and that the number
will go as high as 6.0O0 and perhaps
even above that number. The conclu-
sion has not been reached without con-
siderable thought and careful lnveSti-
CATION. The death list reaches the total
of 4.437. In addition to all this, 1t must
be remembered that only Il compara-
lively small number OF the negroes
who perished in the storm have been
reported. After considering all these
facts one can hardly do anything else
but conclude that the total to be finally
reached Will be above 5000. A care
fully prepared statement estimates
the total at $500. and there are many,
who are not excited, either who say ie
will reach 1000.

the one we had in Rock Island. 1t
