years assessment will be involved in
all sorts of complications and the bur-
dens of taxation are likely to be mis-
placed.
The sentiment of the county asses
sors is strongly against holding up
their assessment to the high figures at
which they have been placed unless
they also may assess the property of
railways, etc, on the same basis as
they are empowered to do under the
terms of the new law. They are not
willing to let the assessment of other
forms of property stand at Il high fig
ure with the chance of the State
Board of Equalization, acting under the
old law, placing railway and telegraph
property, etc, at Il figure proportion
ately much lower.
Even should the State Board of
Equalization bind itself to adopt and
make its own the assessment of rail
ways fixed by the State Board of AS
SCISSORS, something the State Board of
Assessors don't seem at all disposed to
do, the death of the new law would re-
lieve the corporations of the fiat tax
and would abolish the new fees in law
courts and other sources of revenue.
Unless an extra session is agreed up
on it is highly probable that the asses
sors will go home and procure a heavy
reduction in their county assessments,
and the optimistic notions of a big
enough revenue for the state, even un-
der the old law, will go glimmering.
The fifty-seven assessors of the state
are classed as twenty-nine Democrats
and twentyeight Republicans. The
new Board of Assessors probably will
consist of S. II. Alexander of Arapa-
hoe, who elects himself; Layden of Ell
Paso and Lysight of Teller, from the
counties of the second class: Callen of
Lake. Hogan of Pitkin and Stevens of
Weld, from the counties of the third
class, and seven others to be chosen by
the counties of lower class.

COWBOYS PERFORM AT
COLORADO SPRINGS

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug 4.-The
closing events of the Quarto- Centen-
NAL celebration yesterday We're some
what marred by the rain.
The most spectacular and thorough
ly western of all the features of the
Quarto-C Centennial celebration was on
Saturday morning. being the cowboys
tournament. The tournament was
held in front OF the big double grand
stand on Cascade avenue. 1t was typ
ical of life on the big ranches. 1t
brought out the cowpuncher in all of
his picturesqueness. 1t, too, attracted
the largest crowd of tourists of any of
the celebrations, as it was all new to
the people from the East, although,
probably, it was familiar to the people
of Colorado.
1t was thoroughly cowboy enter
tainment, consisting of bucking bron-
chos, racing and other features of
every cowman's day. The boys from
the plains and mesas, TOO, entered into
1t with all the dash and vim and vigor
for which they are justly famous.
The scene from the grandstand was
one of picturesque delight. The pictur.
esque cowboys and rough riders, the
traditional Indian in all his war paint
ana IeatnefS, ana tne tough. rugged
bronchos Of the advance agents of civ.
ilizatior, formed n striking contrast to
the dashing steeds and correct uni.
forms of the officers in charge of the
tournament, as well as the representa-.
tive men and women of the latter day
generation, assembled in the grand.
stand. on the grounds. and wherever a
bit of space was obtainable.
The first event was tent pegging
won by Joe Williams.
Harvey Mauck won first prize, $50
in broncho busting feature. His an.
imal was what Bill Nye would have
termed "a low browed brute without
breeding" 1t had all the characters
tics Of n mustang; evil tempered, wick.
ed, treacherous. Harry Brown was
awarded second prize, $50.
Bert Ireland, n nlneteen-year-old boy
WAS awarded special prize OF so foi
his horsemanship in the line of bron
, cho "busting."
There were thirty cowboys In the con.
test. and each demonstrated himself
an adept In the saddle. III addition To
the broncho busting" there was an eX.
hibitlon of lariat throwing and ropinG

verbal explanations of those who.
planned the compromise. Upon such.
information and consideration, law is
attempted to be made. This is clearly
not in accordance with the spirit of
the constitution. The fundamental,
idea of all the provisions relating to
the enactment of laws is that of in
dividual responsibility. 1t was not in
tended that the legislator in perform
ing his duties should rely upon the
explanation or information conveyed
by others, or that he should be con-
trolled or influenced by party caucus,
or by party leaders. 1t was intended
that each and every substantial pro-
vision proposed to be enacted as a law
should be printed in cold black and
white, in order that he might consider
it alone with his own conscience, so
that when the final responsibility
should come up to him he could not
evade it by pleading misinformation
or misunderstanding.
1.-The case clearly presents flagrant
instance of the evil to which the Su-
preme Court referred; and If the pro-
cedure of the houses in the premises
can be sustained, then the trainers Of
the constitution We're entirely mistaken
in supposing that they had constructed
provisions which would avoid the dam
ger Of hasty and ill-considered legisla-
ton.
u conclude, threfore:
"First-That the action of the House
of Representatives in placing the bill
upon final passage was in violation of
section % of Article V of the constitu-
ton, because said bill carried with it
substantial amendments which had not
been printed.
"Second-That the action of the Sen
ate in adopting the report of the con-
ference committee was, constitutional
ly, an adoption only of the amendments
contained therein, and was not final
passage of the bill.
"Third-That the bill being rendered
nugatory by constitutional mandate,
the REALTORS are entitled to the relief
prayed for.
Undertaking. no doubt whatever as
l deem it unnecessary to express any
opinion on the first objection urged
against the validity of the statute.
however much this result is to be
deplored, 1t cannot be avoided. No pass-
ing necessity, however urgent. can ever
Justlfy an infraction of the fundamen-
tai law. In such u case, to all argu-
ments based upon public convenience
or public policy, the courts can make
but one answer-'what Is written, is
written"

No fair-minded landlord can any

In East Oakland, CAL, is to be tried
q plan for helping homeless girls
which seems almost ideal in method
as well as in purpose. A rich and gen.
erous-hearted woman has declared her
intention of building ten cottages. each
of which will accommodate ten girls
and be In charge of "house-mother."
The cottages will stand in beautiful
park, with trees, lawns and flower
gardens about them. The inmates Of
each cottage will constitute n separate
family, the older girls helping to care
for the younger ones. All will attend
the public schools as other girls do,
and will have their own outside diver
sions and friendships. Meantime they
will also have in the home thorough
training in housework. AS they reach
a suitable age, each will receive spe-
cial education in whatever trade or
field OF work she may select-teaching,
dressmalking, millinery. typewriting,
art or music-so that when she leaves
the home each girl will be equipped
TO earn her own living. Ono OF the
most attractive characteristics OF the
undertaking Is its lack of institutional
restraint and the large individual free
dom which II permits.

During the year 1888, at the earnest
solicitation of his friends, DIR. Hawes
wrote history of Cahaba prison, in
which he gave sketch of his own ter
rible sufferings while confined there.
Inc book is entitled "Cahaba," and IS
work of rare merit. He also has
written extensively for medical jour-
nails, and was known as a close stu
dent.
DIR. Hawes was at one time a me1n-

State Normal school and later was
professor of Obstetrics in the Univer-
sity of Denver, president of the Stale
Medical Society, president of the State
Board Of Medical Examiners, a men,

vice president of the American Medi-

Pacific surgeon here for n number Of
years. He has been in i'll health for
years and never considered himself
physically sound after his confinement
at Cahaba. He has kept up his prac-
tice, however, to the time of his last
illness.
He leaves wife and one daughter,

If there are no further efforts at con-

Figures at this time as to the number

in the manufacture OF sugar, and VIII
hereafter use oil as fuel. These re-
Aneries use $l50,OO0 worth OF coal an

western Pennsylvania. 1t will cost
$40 900 to adapt their furnaces to the
use Of oil. but 1t is estimated that less
than $780, 900 worth of fuel oil will do
