PERSONAL PROPERTY LESS
Assessors All Over the County Cut
Down Valuation-Many People
Escape in 1901 Who Paid
in 1900.

The assessors have all made their
returns of the amounts of personal
property they found in the county this
year. The total is 81 ,092, 623, as com
pared with 81, 400, 755 last year. This
apparent slump in visible assets is in
reality simply the reaction from the
full assessment of last year, when the
assessors agreed to value on the full
value basis. There was tremendous
kick, and charges were made that some
townships did not go as high as
others. Last year a whole lot of men
paid II few dollars taxes who this year
are not rated so high but that the ex-
emption let's them off. This year the
amount of money on which the county
will collect personal tax is s744, O23 as
compared with 81 ,057, 1855 last year, a
slump of nearly $500, 900.
The valuation on which taxes will
be paid for personal property in the
various townships is as follows:

At IL O'Clock today the immediate
relatives and few friends we're gath
cred at the handsome home of Mrs. p.
b. Plumb to witness the solemnization
Of the her second daughter
Miss Ruth Ellen, to Schuyler Colfax
Brewster, OF lola, Kansas. The ring
ceremony was performed by DR.. Cord
ly, of Lawrence, assisted by Rev.
Frank Ward, of this city. Sweet peas
and feathery ferns were used in pro-
fusion throughout the house; the par
lor and dining-room being especially
elaborate. The Lohenrin wedding
march, played by MIR. Cecil Plumb, a
cousin of the bride, signaled the nup-
tial hour. AS the bride entered the
parlor from the north door, she was
met in front of the south bay window
by the groom and the officiating clergy
men. She was given away by her
mother.
The bride who is tall and slender in
figure, was picture of loveliness in II
gown of white liberty gauze. A mlle
veil was caught with natural orange
blossoms and fell in graceful folds,
the full length Of her train. The bou-
quet was Of sweet peas.
After the impressive ceremony CON
gratulatiOns followed. The beautiful
and costly gifts to the young couple
We're shown in the billiard room.
They left on the $3.50 train for lola,
Kansas, their future home. The
BRIDES travelling gown was a dark
blue cloth and she wore becoming
hat of cream straw with darker trim
mings.
Mrs. Brewster is a cultured and
charming young woman and will be
greatly missed in social circles. Mr..
Brewster is a graduate of Harvard
university. He served in the Philip
pines with the Twentieth Kansas and
on his return was elected clerk OF AL

The following were the out of town
guests; Dr. aud Mrs. Cordley, Misses

TRAGEDY BETWEEN STATIONS

Tho train had just left the station.
Station is a better word than daypo,
because there is no dispute about the
pronunciation of it.
But this is a depression, says the fun
ny man of the Chicago Tribune.
The conductor, having worked the
smoking car, entered the next car, car
rying his conductor face with him.
A depression seems necessary hero,
for the conductor face, which is one OF
the Oldest Of the faces, has not received
the attention il deserves. 1t is face
that conveys an impression of high
personal and official responsibility, to-
gether with a certain coldness, reserve
and o-you-don't-ness, the whole tenn
sered by sort of impersonal dignity,
as becomes the representative of vast
corporation indispensable to the pub
lie welfare. But it seems TO have es-
capped classification hitherto, as face.
Carrying this face with him, then,
not as mask, but rather as an cXtcr-
nal phase properly belonging to his
Job, the conductor entered the car.
Sitting in the seat next to the door
was bright-eyed young woman with
Graeco-pug nose and a beaver jacket.
The face vanished.
In his own proper person the con-
ductor graspcd the hand she extended
60 him with ticket lit, and sat down
beside her.

ly, "since the night of the conductors

AN OLD MISFORTUNE RECALLED

History does repeat itself, and, judging from such details as we have been able to get the disaster to Company C, on the island of Samar was a repetition, on a smaller scale, of the massacre at Fort Mims, nearly a century ago. In each case there seems to have been a false security which was fatal. In each case we'll armed American soldiers were sur prised and slaughtered by badly armed savages, and in each case those who were responsible paid with their lives for their carelessness. If Major Daniel Beasley had been as alert as an officer in his place should have been the lives of sol diers, women and children would not have been sacrificed at Fort Mims and it is possible that if Captain Cornell had been as alert as the circumstances de- manded the Filipinos would not have had an opportunity to surprise and slaughter American soldiers.
 It is difficult for persons far away from the scene to understand how such an af- fair was possible Our troops, both of hcers and privates, have had ample evil dence of the treacherous character of the Philippine natives and in this case, as in all others where the foe is a savage one. nothing but eternal vigilance gives any assurance of safety. The savages of those islands are not to be trusted any more than the American Indians of the early days of this country. Yet. when we are told that some of the members
 of Company were killed In their hunks 1 and that others were killed before they had time to arm themselves, we are forced to the conclusion that there was
 either no pretence of keeping guard or else the sentrics were asleep or exceed ingly careless.
 There is no reason to doubt that thost
 of the company who could get their arms | In time to use them fought bravely, as the men at Fort Mims fought bravely
 but in both cases they were overpowered l and butchered by swarms of half-armed
 sayages who took advantage of the fact 1 that our men were of their guard anC | pratically at the mercy of their enemies This unfortunate affair teaches two
 things, the first of which should no
 have been necessary for civilized soldiers
 when among savagcs, for there vigilance is always necessary, and the men whC | think themselves safe from surprise art

A CATCHING ORDINANCE.

Hereafter when a man wants to accu- mulate a jag in the town of Grfnnell, Iowa. he must get behind the door or under the bed. The council has lately enacted this sumner:
 That it shall be unlawful for two or more persons to cougregate within the limits of the city of Grinnell or any street or vacant or unoccupied property on er about teh college campus. or build ings in or about any lumber yards. in any car, or on or about any railroad grounds or stock yards, In or about any barn. stable or corncrib, storehousc, elevator or depot, or in any other place for the pur- pose of drinking beer or any kin1 of in toxicating liquor.
 Now, we might ask how two persons can "congregate," but possibly that would be considered hypercriticism. so we will not press that point. The main thing about this wonderful ordinance is it's evident determination to see that no jag shall be built where any one but the builder can see the operation. He must hide as effectually as if he had found a purse and wanted to count it's contents None but lonesome drinks will go in Grinnen.
 A strict construction and enforcement of this ordinance would have some un- expected results, no doubt. It will be noted that it designates various places where 1t shall be unlawful to congregate, and. then, lest some spot had been left out, they add the words. "or in any other place." That leaves no room for lodging If a mans family consists of two or more persons" it will be unlawful for them to drink wine or beer with their dinner, or at any other old time. If fishing party takes something along to keep off malaria each man must get be- hind log or hide himself in the bushes before he will dare apply the jug to his mouth. We doubt if the exigency of a snake-bite would save men from the penalties of this ordinance if two of them tested the remedy. The whole truth is that this belongs to that class of laws and ordinances which cannot be enforced and which nobody will try to enforce &C., cording to its terms. It will defeat itself and the only result will be that the peo- ples contempt for such a law may extend to really good laws.

rooLrsH LEorsLATroN.

Another specimen of absurd 1aw-mak- ing as an effort to suppress bad prac- tice comes from South Carolina, in the shape of a law which provides that from and after July 1st of next year 1t shall be unlawful to sell pistols of ordinary size in that State, the law requiring that after the above named date no pistol shall be sold or offered for sale in South Carolina unless it is at least twenty inches long and weighs not less than three pounds.
 The people of South Carolina. as do those of other States. see and realize the evils of the concealed weapon habit. espe- cially pistols, and have adopted this somewhat unique method of breaking 1t up. The argument is that a man cannot conveniently conceal pistol of legal size. and that few men will want to carry a conceal it; consequently, 1t is argued. if they cannot buy any but the large pistols they will not buy any at all. The weak place in this kind of legislation Is that 1t cannot be made effective or opera tive. There is not and cannot be in the law anything to prohibit the purchase of any kind of pistol outside the State and the importation of the same by any one who wants it. Such weapons can be pur- chased in any adjoining State as cheaply as in South Carolina, and sent either by mail, express or freight to the cus- toners, who would lose no money and little time by the operation, the only losers being the dealers in such merchant disc inside the State who will find their trade going to outsiders.
 There really seems little good judgment in the enactment of laws of this kind, as 1t is impossible for them to be effect i've. If Alabama should pass law for bidding the sale of pistol cartridges would not all who want such. ammunition pur- chase rife cartridges and not be at all inconvenienced? And if Montgomery should adopt an ordinance totally pro- hibiting the sale of cartridges of any kind in the city would not all who wanted such things buy them from dealers in other cities and have them sent in. with but few hours loss of time? The truth is. the pistol carrying habit cannot be suppressed by any such dodges as these. and laws which are impractical or incapa- ble of enforcement had much better be left unmade.
