INCREASE IN ASSESSMENT
Practically one MiIliOn collar Added
to the Taxable yalu-
atiOns.

City Assessor Everest has completed the
assessment rolls far enough to be able to
estimate that the assessment for 1908 on
real and personal property will shoT an in
crease of at least 81, 900. 900 over that for
1901.
The assessment on real property for 1901
was. in round numbers, S1O,6 SOC. 900, while
this year It will reach S11. 200. 900, an In
crease OF $500. 900. This increase In the as
sessment IL not due to an increase In the
valuation Of city property. but to the inn
p~rovements which. have been made In the
last two years. Real estate is only as-
sessed every. two years.
In 1901 the assessment on personal prop
erty amounted to 1920, 900, while this
year It will reach 81 zoe, 900, an increase Of
$4,000 The increase 10 due to the In
creased assessment Of the motor, water
works and electric and gas companies.
The Increase in the assessment will meSn
much for the city, as it will add approx
mately $4,000 to its revenues for the COM
ing year. or the s12, 900, the general fund
will receive about $4,000.
Assessor Everest expects it will be fully
a month before the assessment books are
completed and ready TO be turned over to
the county authorities.

Northwestern to Extent
of $4,000.

The Board Of County Supervisors con-
vened yesterday afternoon for the April

yond setting the time for the hearings in

will be given a hearing. On Thursday aft
ernoon the board will take up the matter
Of the Fensler ditch in Rockford township,
and on Saturday the Pigeon Greek ditch in
Crescent township.
The Chicago & Northwestern railroad
yesterday filed objections TO the proposed
Pigeon Creek ditch. which, according to
the present plans, would cut through its
right of- way. The railroad also filed q
claim for $25. 900 damages in the event OF
the ditch being constructed as now planned
For the portion Of its right-of-way which
would be taken for the ditch the railroad
asks 1000. The ditch 1t claims would
necessitate the replacing of a trestle
bridge with a girder b.tdge, and to meet
this expenses the railroad asks SIS, 900. Tit
railroad further claims that the ditch would
necessitate a raising of the grade at the
point Of intersection and this would ocea-
sion a permanent hump" in its tracks
and for this it demands $4,000.

New German Marriage Rule.

Governor Cummins today replied to an
inquiry from Secretary of State John Hay
on a matter of great interest to all German
people In this country Secretary Hay had
received a letter from Consul Mason at
Frankfort giving the text Of a new German
marriage law which went into effect jan
uary 1, 1900, which requires, among other
things, before a marriage certificate can
issue to a resident Of some foreign coun-
try "a certificate by the proper authorities
of his native home or state to the effect
that the authorities know of no just cause
or impeachment why the marriage should not
take place" There are many Germans
who 90 back to the fatherland to marry.
The consul reports that persons coming
from the States have experienced trouble
in getting married under this new German
law. All the certificate they could produce
would be one from reputable persons ac-
quainted with them stating personal knowl-
edge that the applicant for marriage is
eligible, but the German magistrates have
refused to accept these certificates unless
a consular officer ~certihes that no other
certificate is possible and that the United
States laws do not provide for court rec
ords in such matters. But Secretary Hay
points out that under the regulations con-
suls are forbidden to make any such GER
tihcates. Secretary Hay wrote Governor
Cummins to ask II there was any official in
Iowa who has the power to certify as to
the eligibility to marriage Of any person,
and the governor informed him that there
is no such Officer. 1t is expected this will
form the basis of an application to con-
gress for an amendment to the consular
regulations giving consuls the power in
Germany to certify as to the facts. But
until this is done, Americans planning to
wed in Germany would do we'll to change
their plans.

DIES MONIES, Ia, April 6.-(special)-
II is generally understood that Justice
Shiras of the federal court for the northern
district of Iowa, who has now reached the
retiring age, will retire some time within
the next year, and already a flock of candi-
dates for his place has appeared. 1t is
understood also that a number of politi-
clans are trying to induce shlras to be-
come a candidate for Caldwell's place on
the circuit bench, but this is hardly prob
able. Senator Healey Of Fort Dodge is
being pushed for shiras' place In case he
decides upon retirement. He is a leader in
the state senate and will be reelected for
a third term this year. It is understood
the friends Of Judge Lot Thomas, member
Of congress for the Eleventh district, are
anxious to have him become a candidate.
Craig l.. Wright of Sioux City is consid-
cred available. Judge clifford p. Smith OF
Mason City is said to be a candidate for
the place, as is also w. A. Helsell Of Buena
Vista county. The views Of Senator ALI
sen have not yet been determined, but it is
not known that he has any particular can
didate for the place.

panies Of the Iowa National Guard com
panies may be commenced this week. As
the result of Adjutant General Byers' con-
ference with the regular army officers Of
this department, he was assured that an
inspector would be detailed at once to visit
all the Iowa companies. The inspector
general for the department, Colonel Wright,
would very much like to make the inspec-
lions, BUT he will not find time 20 do It
all, and 1t is desired that one person shall
make all the inspections CT the forty-eight
companies. 1t Is probable that all inspector
will be sent to cover the dates Of the in
spections this week in Iowa, beginning at
Sioux City tomorrow evening, at Sheldon,
then Sioux City again and at Fort Dodge.
General Dodge and Major Hume went to
Sac City today for regular guard inspec-

The unusual happened here today in the
unexpected resignation of a Justice Of the

that the work is too hard and he felt that

resigned his place. He was elected last

A BABE IS DEAD.
The Struggle of Life Too Hard
for the Delicate Child.

The home of Col. and Mrs. J.
W. Wilson is darkened to-day,
and there is grief behind the
drawn curtains. Their infant
child, the first born, died this
morning at five O'Clock after a
little life of seven months. Pol
ly Pruit: the babe was christie ned.
From birth the little child had
not been strong, and all that
tender nursing and medical skill
could do awaited not. The little
body was too delicate and the
little limbs too frail to endure.
The babe is at rest, and in the
grief of the mother and father
there is the deep sympathy of
their many friends.
Brief funeral services will be
held tomorrow at two O'Clock
from their home.
