matter of unusual interest to the vo
ters of Wapello county.
The taxable value of the railroad
property in Wapello county appears
on the records at the court house as
follows:
lSVl ...........,...... Sb22.Oll
1902 6SO.626
1903 :. -. 764,54S
A little subtraction shows that in
1903 the taxable value of railroad
property in this county was Ss3,912
greater than in 1902 and $142,537 in
excess of the taxable value in 1901.
The taxable value of farm proper
ty as returned by the township asses
sors for the past three years follows:
1901 ...... :. :. 100000. $2,215,S00
l902 >. .............. 2,22S,2S6
1913 ............... 2,160,135
Here is shown decrease of $6S, Isl
from 1902 and of S55,665 from 1901 in
the taxable value of farm property in
Wapello county for 1903 as shown by
the assessors reports.
In considering the returns Of the as
SCISSORS of the various counties for
the purpose of fixing the tax levy, for
1903, the state executive committee
raised the taxable value of farm prop.
erty in Wapello county per cent.
This fixes the taxable value of farm
property for the county at $2,26S, 14175
for 1908. By comparing this sum with
the values for the past two years it is
at once seen that the increase for this
year amounts to $39,S55.75 over 1902
and $52,341.T5 over 1901.
BY comparison of the figures CIV
en- above it is seen that the taxable
value of railroad property in this
county has increased more rapidly
during the past two years than has the
taxable value of it's farms.
Passing from the relative values of
farm and railroad properties in the
county to the state and county tax
levy it is seen that the assessment
is IS of a mill less for 1908 than for
last year and g of mill less than it
was in 1901. The levy for the past
three years follow:

J. +. Vany0Orhis Brings Suit Against
the P&M Paehet Company.

attached by Constable Jolliffe when
it arrived at the wharf about noon
today. l. r. Van Voorhis had

tor $40 damages against the Pitts

Mr.. Van Voorhis alleges that on
Saturday last he went to Crow 8
Ferry and arranged with the Cap
tain of the Woodward for the ship
ment of some sheep to Pittsburg.
The boat came on to Morgantown,
and when 1T arrived at Crows Ferry
on the return, Mr.. Van Voorhis was
there with $50 sheep. The Captain
refused to take them. The plaintiff
claims that he was damaged to the
amount at $1l0, in the trouble he
had in driving the sheep TO and
from the ferry, in paying higher
freight on the railroad and by get
ting his sheep into market week
later. The case will be tried by jury

White Girl Prisoner and Killed

Fort Smith, Ark, Aug. 1s.-The kid
naping of young white girl and the
killing OF one of posse that tried to
rescue her are the crimes charged
against a party of eight negroes. forti-
fed on Bruees island, 16 miles west OF
this city. 1t is feared their capture
will lead to bloody encounter. The
negroes are said to be well armed
A few days ago two farmers living
near Wilson's Rock landed on Bruces
island in search OF plums and acct
dentally ran into a camp In which
there were two negro men and white
girl about IL years old They made
some inquiries about the girl and the
negroes said she was the daughter of
white man who was travelling with
them and who had gone to Fort Smith
for provisions. The negroes would
not let the girl take part In the con-

A watch was kept on the negroes for
two days, but no white man appeared.

and one Of the party was killed. A
sharp fight was kept up for some time,

Big MONEY LOSS
Closing of Glass Factories
Cuts off Big Circulation.

The Strike Situation Unchanged
Fred Bishop In Charge-Two Shops
Going at Seneca None at Tumbler
Plant slim Chances Of letting
Together.
There 10 no change in the strike
situation today at the plant OF the
Economy Tnmbler company and of
the Seneca Glass company. The
strike has already settled down TO a
long stubborn struggle, in which
neither side proposes to give or take
an inch.
The Economy Company has a pay
roll of $13,0 900 month and the Sen
eca about $4,000. la addition to
this the two factories pay out about
VI, 200 for gas and water. This means
direct loss OF $26, 200 to the
amount OF money circulated in town
each month.
The output of the two factories is
estimated as worth about $3.50 900 a
year. This amount Of money comes
in to the town every year when the
factory is running. Some idea of
the serious nature and heavy loss
entailed by the strike, small though
it be can be gained from these figures.
One of the directors of the company
said this morning: I've been in the
glass business three vears, and have
never made cent on $4,000 in
vestment, all because of labor tron-
bles. I'm done with it, and will
never fool with the glass business
again"
Secretary Dobbins, of the A. f. G..
w. u. has been here. He is from
Pittsburg. He had conference
with Mr. Boehler, of the Seneca, and
tried to obtain one with the manager
of the Economy Tumbler company,
Mr.. Frey, but he was out of town.
Mr. Dobbins went back to Pittsburg
and left the strike in charge of Fred
Bishop, until national officer can
get to stay here permanently.
Four directors are running two
shops at the Seneca. Two or three
men went to work there, but the
strikers talked to them and persuad-
ed them to quit. There is nothing
whatever being done at the Economy
Tumbler Company's plant.
Some of the strikers have left for
Moundsville, Huntington and other
points. The others, who want to
work at all, are working at other
jobs.
There seems to be no chance what
ever of any settlement. The com
panies are firm in their intention of
running "open house. and the union
men will not work under the circum-
stances. That is the situation, and
the factories will be tied up until
non union men can be procured to
handle the tools.

Base Of Statue Discovered.

Rome, Aug ia most important

OF the base Of the celebrated sques-

OF the forum during the first century

three blocks of travert in stone, show
