Sylvan for the mail and upon his
return was putting his horse in
the stable and appeared in the

and sink to the ground. He was
carried to the house, but never
regained consciousness. He was
a cousin of Albert and William of
this place, and the father of Miss
Gertie who, few years ago, at.

People were fleeing from the
town when Mr.. Stoner overlook

the road. He took her into his
coach and to her destination.

again met Miss Webb, then grown
to womanhood and their marriage
followed.

conductors on the Western Mary
land railroad, in which capacity
he served until injured in a wreck
from which he never fully recov-
cred. At one time he was also
conductor on the B. & o. railroad.

FULL VALUE ASSESSMENTS.
MAJ dam mus Issued Against the Mis-
souri, Board of Equalization BY
State Supreme Court.

jefferson City, Mo, Oct. Judge
Robinson has issued an alternative
writ of mandamus against the state
board of equalization, at the relation
of William Preston Hill, of st. Louis,
to compel the board to show cause
why corporation property in st.
Louis was not assessed at the full
cash value. The relator shows that
he owns property in St. Louis valued
at $l04 ,070. which was assessed at it's
full cash value, his total taxes
amounting to S2.029.36, whereas a
large number of corporations speci-
fled have been assessed at from rs to
As per cent. of their valuations.
The writ is made returnable to
court in course. 1t is directed to Al
exander NJ. Dockery, Sam b. Cook, X.
p. Williams, Albert o. Allen and Ed
ward c. Crow as members of the state
board Of equalization.
The petition states that the assess
ment made and certified to the coun-
ties is a pretended assessment and is
fraudulent in that it imposes a hard
ship on the taxpayers who are made
to pay on a full-value assessment.
The effect of the issuance of the writ
can not be foreseen.

A correspondent of the Manufactur

In New York recently and says:
Mr.. Gould has much faith in the
future of Arkansas. with its wealth
OF timber and mineral resources. and
Its fertile soil, and he expects to see
steady development of that section
LOOKS for the swamp lands to be drain
ed, the country to be more fully occu-
pied by incoming settlers, the great
natural resources of the state to be
developed and the whole country to be
built up and its prosperity greatly in
creased. Much interest was expressed
by him in the betterments of his roads
and he particularly dwelt on the work
being done on ,he line from Little
Rock south through Pine Bluff. where
l per cent grade has been secured

IMMIGRATION AT NEW YORK.
Conditions which obtained
Under His Predecessor.

New York, Oct. 1.-The annual re-
sort of the commissioner of immigra-
tion at this port, William Williams,
has been filed with the secretary of
the treasury, and in the document the
commissioner criticises, without re-
serve. conditions which surrounded
the landing of immigrants at Ellic
Island during the ten months pre-
vious to the change of administration
there due to Mr.. Williams appoint
ment. He says in the report:
The chief ms ector was allowed to
arbitrarily mark the word hold
against the name of any immigrant
on the manifest, thus causing to be
brought TO him certain picked people
to be disposed of as he thought best,
instead of allowing them to be in
spected in the regular way. The fact
that most of those so marked are
shown to have had fair amounts of
money, and that many so marked
were able-bodied people with very
large accounts of money are points
not without interest. The power,
first, to detain these people without
reason, and, second, to direct them
to boarding houses where they paid
full value for all they received. will
be appreciated when it is remembered
that from May, 1901, to May, 1902,
463,541 immigrants exhibited $6,556,-
$50 as they passed through this sta
tion, and had probably great deal
more that they did not exhibit.
1T appears that some officials were
in the habit of themselves passing
upon cases of immigrants detained
for special inquiry, bringing the inn
migrants out of the detention room,
discharging them or putting them
resulting power of blackmail and of
exerting other improper influences in
volved in this practice will be readily
seem"
The commissioner says he could
cite numerous other instances of
abuse and lack of system; that the
immigrants were roughly handled
and addressed in rough language by
government and railroad officials;
that the detention pens" were filthy,
particularly the dining room, where,
the report says, the immigrants were
fed without knives, forks or spoons;
that railroad and other passes used to
be demanded to demoralizing ex-
tent; that "shfps after ships"
brought in cases of favas (scalp dis
ease) and trachoma (eye disease),
both dangerous, contagious diseases
unknown in This country until inn
ported in recent years from Europe.
The commissioner says the con-
stantly deteriorating quality of the
recent immigration calls for the exc
cution of the law in the most strin-
gent manner. and he states that last
year over 1000 aliens who had arrived
within the year became destitute III
