SMALL BOY FOLLOWS A BAND

small boys and crept painfully into a
doorway. He laid himself down in the
broiling sun on the stone step, and in
a moment was dreaming peacefully. No
one in the hurrying throng of people
who rushed past troubled themselves
with the sleeping child. so he remained
on the doorstep until late in the after
noon.
Meanwhile his continued absence had
aroused the fears of his mother. and
she hastily began a search for the
missing lad Securing the aid of
friends. she went through the neigh
borhood but no trace of the boy was
found. Police headquarters were noti-
fed and officers on their beats curiousiy
scrutinized all the youngsters who
passed. None was seen who answered
the description.
Late in the afternoon a woman pass
ing along Second South street observed
the boy sleeping peacefully in the sun
on the doorstep. She tried to arouse
him, but efforts to disconnect him from
the dreams which he enjoyed were fu-
tile. He slept calmly, in spite of all
the shakings which could be admins
was completely worn out, the woman
took him in her arms and carried him
tenderly to police headquarters He
slept during the trip, and could not be
awakened by the officers. He was taken
to the matron of the Jail, who placed
the little slumberer on bed and left
him to rest until he was taken home by
an almost frantic mother.

until he became so tired that he lay
down in a doorway ON a crowded street
and went fast asleep He was found
later and taken TO police headquarters,
where he was kept until his mother was
notified and called for him.
The alleged band passed his home
early in the afternoon. and the boy at

the other boys didn't show that they
were tired. SO he marched on after
the band until he had traversed the
principal streets of the city. The band
kept up its monotonous discord, and
the small boys continued their jeerings.
The PROCESSION finally returned TO Main
street and started down First South

until his feet refused TO carry him.
At last he reached Second South

CITY TAX 9 MILLS
Council Agreed Last Night on
Assessment-State Tax
Fixed.

Last evening the city council fixed
the tax levy for this year at 9 mills on
the dollar of taxable property This
rate is half a mill higher than last
years levy and one mill more than
two years ago.
Chairman Spence of the finance COM
mittee stated that d levy of 3 mills
would yield $30s, 9S5, and this, together
with the license and miscellaneous
revenues. would be insufficient TO meet
necessary expenditures without in
curing the usual deficit. but by selling
the old city hall corner for $4,000
there would be a comfortable balance
In the treasury at the end of the year.
Councilman Fernstrom pointed out
that this year the city must pay out
$1,000 for paving street intersections,
and ne maintained that higher levy
1 than mills ought to be made.
- 1t Was proposed by DaYeler to fix
the rate at 912 mills, but the motion
was lost, only Arnold, Black, Fern
strom and a. j. Davis voting with
DaEeler.
The ordinance fixing the tax levy at
q mills was then passed without OBJ
lection. In the ordinance Az mills are
provided for contingent expenses, 3
mills for repair of streets and side
walks, l mill for securing and con-
trolling water, and fourth of a mill
each for the public library and main
tanning the sewer system.
Yesterday the state board of equal
ization fixed the rate of state taxes at
rs mills which is two-tenths of mill
less than the levy of year ago. The
levy for the state school fund is 3
mills the same as a year ago, the
reduction being for the general ex-
pense fund of the state government
Increased valuations made it possible
/ to reduce the rate of taxation, and the
aggregate Yield will not be less than it
was a year ago. About S550,OO0 will be
raised.

sessments the board adjourned sine die

According to Castro, the existence Of
these white folk was discovered TWEEN
ty-five years ago by a Spanish surgeon
who took two of the white children TO
Europe. One of them he adopted and
educated as q lawyer. This one re-
turned to the islands and afterward
wrote to the Spanish surgeon. He had
found his parents, and had decided to
cast his lot with them and their people.
They were Mohammedans. he said, and
he proposed to devote his life to intro
ducing the Christian religion and in
other ways TO give the people from
whom he had been kidnapped the-benefit
