The examination of these figures
will show that the total valuations of
realty and personal property in the
city reaches the large sum of $751;
889.11. This amount is far in excess
of the amount returned for taxation
last year, and it shows a healthy in
crease. The Assessor should be given
more time in which to make his re-
turns, and in this manner it is not 10
be doubted that the amount would be
made even greater-even great enough
to allow reduction of the per cent Of
taxation in the city.
The report shows that the men of
wealth have been seen, and that the
amounts returned have been slightly
raised, although they are still far be-
low the figures furnished by the State
Tax Commission some years ago.
Mr.. Simmons is shown to be the
heaviest individual taxpayer by many
thousands of dollars, while many of
the individuals who would be expected
to return large schedules make exceed
ing1y small returns.
The report of the assessor would not
be complete without apitu1ation
of the values, and it is given as fol-
lows:

Racine Fears Kenosha.

The Racine base ball team fears a
match with their rivals at Kenosha,
and this fact has been clearly proven
by the fact that the Racine players
have refused to arrange a game with
the Kenosha team. Manager Alleman
has thrice challenged the Racine team
to a game or a series of games, but the
letters have remained unanswered and
today the manager of the local team
sent a challenge to the Racine team
through the columns of the Milwaukee

good showing during the season, but

had great trouble to keep her 2-year-
old boy from running into the streets
Of the village. The little woman was

should be trampled by horses on some
of his forbidden excursions.
She had just returned fron an ex-
hausting run after him, and was clos

Funerals Come High.

In certain North Dakota town,
says the New York Mail and Express,
there are two physicians, one elderly,
with a long record, Of course, the
other young witt his record still to
make. The older doctor was inclined
to surrender some Of his night work
to the younger man. An exchange
cites an instance in which this ";uTc-
ing over" was attempted.
One winters night Dr.. B. was
reused by two farmers from a hamlet
ten miles away, the wife of one Of
whom was seriously i'll. He told
them to go to the other doctor; but
they refused saying they preferred
his services.
''Very we'll" replied DR.. B., think,
ing to put convincing argument be-
fore them. SIN that case my fee is
$40, the money to be paid now"
The men demonstrated, but the doc
tor was obdurate and shut down the
window. He waited, however, to hca,
what they would say.
"Well, what shall we do now?'
asked the farmer whose wife was ill

Make Dispensers Obey the Law.

The enforcement Of the dispensary
law in Charlotte. continues to be a
topic Tor conversation among politi-
clans. The discussion Of the subject
is not con6ned &c Charleston alone,
but is being generally discussed
throughout the State.
A gentleman from the Piedmont
section of the State, who is we'll post
ed on political matters, said to.da y
that it seemed to him that the best
way for the police department to en-
force the law is to begin at the foun.
tain head and make out cases against
all dispensers who violate the dispen-
sary act.
you know" said be, "the dianen-
sary law prohibits the sale Of whiskey
to drunkards and minors, and yet I
am told that it. is an easy matter for
drunkards to buy whiskey from the
dispensaries. Minors can get whis.
key. too, from the same source, if re-
ports be true, and blind tigers are said
to draw their supplies thence.
1.-The dispensary act also provides
that every person buying whiskcy
shall sign certificate. giving name,
age, color, ETC., and this provision to
my certain knowledge is not observed.
There is not one mar out of g. hun
dred who after making purchase in
the dispensary signs the certificate
which he is required to do by law.
The law in this respect is violated
in every town in the State where there
are dispensaries, aud it seems to me
that the city authorities should sec
that the law in this respect is en-
forced. If it is right for the police
in Charleston or any other city in the
State to suppress the sale Of blind
tiger liquor it is meet and right that
the police should also look after the
dispensers who disregard the provi-
sions of the dispensary act. GO at

''The State board Of directors have
raised great hue and cry about the
non enforcement of the law by the
police andit is no doubt true that the
law is not enforced as it should be.
But the State board should take the
rail out Of its own eys before going
after the splinter in the eye Of the po-
lice department. Members Of the
board no doubt know that the dispen-
sers here and elsewhere do not con-
form to the regulations and if they do
not know it the police powers should
see that they are informed.
"The sale Of whiskey to minors and
drunkards is q violation Of the State
law as well al operation of blind tigers.
The police have the power to see that
the law is carried out under an act
which reads something like this:
That any commission officer or
any of the police officers of the city of
Charleston shall have the power to ar.
rest without warrant any person or
persons within the incorporate limits
OF the city who shall at any time be
engaged in violating any laws of the
State.

Topeka SALOONS MUST GO
A THOUSAND ARMED MEN
WILL REMOVE THEM BY
FORCE NEXT FRIDAY.
Ultimatum Issued at a Mass
Meeting of CitiZens--OmcerS
Also Warned.

Topeka. Kan, February TO-
Three thousand male citizens of
Topeka, IN a meeting here
today, decided that the numerous
joints of the city must close their
places. They issued an ultimat-
sum giving the 1intists until Fri
day next at IL O'Clock noon to
quit business. II this shall not be
done warning was given that a
thousand armed men would inns
m%ediately move on the joints and
remove them by force.
City and county officers were
warned that they had waited
long enough. The property
owners in whose premises the
joints are kept were also warned
IN unmistakable terms that they
should abate the nulsances at
one Or the people of Topeka
would not be responsible for the
damage that might ensue to the
buildings.
When the reader of the ulti~
matum reached the part pertain
ing to the j3intists there vas a
hush of expectation, as there had
been for several days rumors
that some important declarations
were to be made. The words Of
condemnation and warning
brought forth murmurs Of ap.
prevail that gained strength with
each minute, finally sweeping
oyer the enCire audience and Gull
minating in great enthusiasm.
AS the reader finished and sub
mitted the ultimatum to the ap-
prevail of the audience, old men
and conservative ministers
jumped to their feet in their q
thusiasm and waved handkar-
chiefs, gas1iculated and cheered
to the echo. The cheering lasted
for several minutes.
Twelve hundred men signed
their names to cards pledging
themselves to be ready at a mo-
ment's notice to join the army
which had been recruited to
stamp out the joints by the time
the limit set by the ultim alum
expires.
There seems to be no question
that the next few days in Topeka
will see interesting Develop
ments, possibly bloodshed.

WAR FAR FROM END.

the Philippines.
Shamokin, Feb. IL. A letter
was received by relatives to-day
from Corporal George A. Young
serving in the regular army at
Lipaa, Batangas Province, in the
Philippines. A portion of the
letter was as follows: s'This war
fare is no nearer an end now than
it was when we came here the fore
part of 1898, except that the en-
envy are now located In the noun
tains and there are not so many
combatants, but they are carrying
on a guerrilla warfare.
81 hope the Fifty seventh Con-
gress will increase the army, for
if they do not do SO, upon the
withdrawal of the volunteers we
will not be able to garrison and
hold the towns which have been
captured at this place. There are
not enough troops. For instance,
when the Filiplnos captured Lipa
from the Spaoiards there were
several hundred Of the lattar at
this place, while we have but three
hundred here at the mo st.
It is rumored that the Eleventh
United States Volunteer Cavalry
and the Tnirry-sixth United States
Volunteer Infantry are to leave
for the United States on the 18th
of January, 1901. These regi-
ments with the Thirty-seventh
United States Volunteers, were
organized here. The other regi-
ments of volunteers will leave in
the order they arrived here, and l
am sure it will take until the last
of May before all have arrived in
the States.'

Incompetent Pilot Attempts to
Pass ON Wrong Side of Sunken
Merrimac and the Big Yes
sci Strikes Hard and Fast.
Santiago, De- Cuba, Feb. 12.-
The United States transport
went hard aground this morning
on a coral reef near the wreck Of
the United States collier Merri-
mac. She arrived at daybreak,
anchored in the bay and then
started to return to Nispero
Cove, near the mouth of the har-
Dor, where is located the MORO
Castle wharf, intending to ems
bark the troops of the Tenth
United States Infantry for New
York today.
An incompetent pilot attempt
ed to pass on the wrong side of
the Merrimac and struck the
hidden reef hard. Three power.
full tugs pulled unsuccessfully
all the afternoon in the attempt
to float the big ship. At low tide
her DO was two feet out Of the
water.
Another attempt will be made
to float her at high tide tonight.
Probably, however, it will be
necessary to rig elaborate tackle
before she can be foated. AS she
lies in a protected place, she is
in no danger, and the likelihood
is that she is not injured, but al.
the present indications point to 6
considerable delay in getting her
off.
