The proposition to abolish precinct
assessors in Douglas and Lancaster
counties and impose their duties upon
the county assessor with such deputies
as he may find necessary is in line
with the movement for tax reform
enacted with the creation Of the office
of tax commissioner for cities of the
metropolitan and first and second
classes. In addition to insuring greater
uniformity of assessment, the proposed
law creating the Office of county as
SCISSOR would effect large saving to the
counties by requiring the county as
SCISSOR to adopt the assessments made
by the city tax commissioner for the
appraisement of all property within the
respective cities.

The insecurity Of the Prussian author
tiles in the matter of the suppression OF
deulling is amusingly apparent in the
answer of the minister Of war to a memo
rial addressed to him by German students.
The latter desired an arrangement by
which duels between officers and students
should be fought with the sabre rather
than with the pistol. The minister Of war
saws that he recognizes in the attitude Of
the students a general desire to avoid af-
fairs with officers, a wish which, he says,
is reeiprocated in the army. The location
OF garrisons in university towns, he points
out was arranged with the object Of giv-
ing students a convenient opportunity OF
serving their year with the colors. on the
whole the relations between the officers
of these garrisons and the members Of
the universities have been excellent He
cannot, he saws. agree to take part in
any formal regulation of duelling, because
"the duel in itself is forbidden by law
and is punishable" He then refers to the
emperor's cabinet orders for the preven-
tion of quarrels and the arrangement OF
differences in the army. and adds; For the
rest, It must be left 10 every one TO main
| tain his own honor, since every one is
the representative and guardian of his
| honor" He then goes on to suggest that
courts OF honor ought to be instituted for
the students in each university, so as TO
| cooperate with the military courts OF
honor for the settlement OF quarrels. So
long as the highest authority plays fast
and loose with the law in this way, duel
ling will certainly continue.

BIG BHEWEhY bUTEOfN0.
Fifty Men Working on New Structure
in Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City, O. T., Jan. 2s.-It is a
busy scene one witnesses in passing along
Third street near the Santa Fe tracks
on the half block just east of the tracks;
and between Second and Third streets
more than fifty men are engaged in erect
ing the big brewery. which is TO cost
a quarter of million dollars.
The brick foundation is being laid on
a heavy concrete base. The brick foun-
dation walls are five feet thick at the
bottom and taper TO three feet at the
point where the walls proper begin.
The gangs of skilled workmen are or
ganized under forernen and the great
constructive work progresses like clock
work.
1t is the purpose of the brewing COM
rany to have the machinery installed
and the buildings sufficiently completed
TO take care of the business the coming
summer. and the plant will probably be
operating by June l.
lust across the Santa Fe tracks. ad-
Joining the brick building owned by r.

DROWNED
SORROW
IN DRINK
Charles Clark Was Found
Dead in Bed.
BELIEVED HE TOOK POISON
Family Troubles are Supposed
to be the Cause.

Oklahoma City, o. T.. Jan. 2S--It i:
probable that the death Of Charles
Clark which occurred AT 1o7ls West Grand
avenue yesterday morning may be added
20 Oklahoma Citys long list OF suicides
says the Olklahornan.
At about S O'Clock yesterday morning
Clark went into the Chicago saloon, in
( the old Piclzwick hotel building on Grand
avenue, and secured of w. D. White the
key to the room which White had rent
| ed just the previous day. Later White
! sent some one TIP 10 the room on an
GRAND and the messenger found Clark
| living on the side OF the bed, undressed
and dead.
Coroner Messenbaugh was at once
called and made thorough examination,
but found no evidence of violence in
the mans death and TO physical indica-
tion of poisoning.
The only foundation for the theory of
suicide was the finding in the dead man S
clothing of a pasteboaId pin box con-
tanning quantity of red precipitate or
mercury. and some papers showing that
Clark had experienced domestic trouble
and was living apart from his wife
The remains were ordered taken to the
morgue of the Standard Furniture COM
pany on Broadway and the holding of
an inquest postponed to await possible
developments, the police intimating TO
the coroner that some new light might
later be thrown upon the case develop
ing the manner and cause of Clark S
death.
To an Oklahoman reporter Coroner
Messenbaugh stated his belief that the
man had committed suicide. and he did
not think the county would so to the eX-
pense of a post mortem examination
today.
w d. White, proprietor of the Chicago
saloon. in whose room Clark was found
dead, said yesterday that he was for
rlerly Clark's brother-in-law. He said
Clark's real home was at Hennessey. o.
L, where h ismother resides, and that
he has a brother residing at Waukomis.
Both were notified yesterday of his death.
II was learned that Clark had gone
from Hennessey to " eatherford. but he
came to Oklahoma City in December
from Vinita.
White says Clark some time since sold
a farm which he owned at Hennessey
and a check book of the American Ma
tional bank of this city was found in
his clothing, and it was learned that he
had a small balance to his credit in that
institution.
1t was further learned that Clark had
TO occupation or employment while here
and that he had been drinking heavily.
1t is said that Clark was somewhat
under the influence of drink when he
went to the room at about s o'clock yes
;erciay morning His death was discov-
cred about two hours later.
