Friend Says He Is Very Sick Man
With Diabetes,

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 3.-Stories Of 9
most alarming nature and apparent
truth are told of the state Of the health
OF John w. Gates. who il; now here with
his family. From time to time during
the last year it has been said that Mr..
Gates was not well. but as soon as the
stories were told they were denied. Now
his friends do not deny that Mr.. Gates
is far from being the robust man
he was when he first became known IN
Wall street. and it is his health, instead
of financial reverses, that has kept him
out of the market of late.
warm personal friend Of Mr. Gates
has told the nature of his malady.
..Mr. Gates" said the friend, "is an
extremely Ill man, and no one recog-
nizes the fact better than he does him-
self. He is now taking much better
care of himself than ever before in his
life, but he continues to fail, and do
not believe he expects any permanent
relief. He has bad case Of diabetes,
and he is also sufferer from chronic
dysentery. He is in constant pain,
which accounts for his change in ap-
pearance which has so shocked his
friends.

Rear Admiral Sands and his fleet con-
sisted of the battleships Indiana. Mas

The enemy will not be sought until
Wednesday noon, when the defending
fleet under Rear Admiral Barker, will
put to sea to begin the search. The
problem of Admiral Sands and his fleet
will be to try to make q landing and
establish a foothold on shore. If his
ships are in any port for five hours
without being discovered, they will
win the victory. If they fail the victory
Will go to the defenders.
Admiral Barker will have his choice
of the remaining ships and will probab-
ly take all of the vessels except those
which have masts. He will have with
him in his fleet Rear Admirals Wise

miral removed his flag from the Illinois

Council Raises Valuations and
Cuts Levy From 3 1-2 to
8 Mills
FARM VALUES ARE CHANGED
Nearly Every County Changed to
EquaIize on Basis of Sales, But Not
Up to Full LeveI-Total Result Not
Much Greater Than Local Assessors
Reported-Rise Since 1901.

Special to Times-Republican
of work and after hearing the argu-
ments Of eminent lawyers for days the
executive council has equalized the as
sessments Of Iowa farm lands upon a
basis very much as suggested by D.
w. Norris, OF Grinnell, who appeared
before the council representing Pow
eshiek county. In cases where the re-
port of sales actually made during
1903 showed the local assessors to be
woefully apart in their ideas Of land
values an equalization was made as
between counties but no attempt was
made to bring the valuation UP to the
sales figures for the reason that sales
during the last few years We're consid-
cred by the council to have been upon
an unusually high level as pointed
out by Mr.. Norris. The aggregate re-
suit Of the equalization has been to
raise some counties, to lower others
and to make total assessment for
farm lands Of 57,54S.730 which is
only s2,024,7O3 more than the figures
sent In by the local assessors, a raise
of 17.2 per cent over the valuation OF
two years ago while the present as
sessment Of railroad property is an
increase of 90 per cent over the valu-
alton OF two years ago.
The council completed Its work with
an increase in the taxable value Of all
property in the state Of s65,o00,000 and
fixed the levy at three mills instead OF
three and half as prevailed last year
The following table shows the per
acre value as reported by the local as
sessor and the equalized value as fixed

CURSES PRESIDENT
Roosevelt lnsuIted and Blacksuarded
AS He Enters Church With His
Family-Bicycle Hog.

Oyster Bay. N. Y, Aug. 3.-President
Roosevelt and hiss family were assailed
with vile and profane language yester-
day as they were driving to Christ
church, here, to attend the morning
service The offender was resident
of Oyster Bay named Mt,Cann. He
was hustled away from the church
unceremoniously by the se'cret-service
operatives.
Accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and
two children, the president had driven
to the village from Sycamore Hill to
attend church services. as lis their GUS
ton on Sunday mornings. Directly in
front of Christ church the man Nc
Cam was walking along the roadside
pushing bicycle.
AS the presidents carriage was about
to turn into the driveway leading to
the church grounds, 1t passed Nc
Cam.
Without provocation, the man, with
an offensive oath, demanded to know
whether they wanted the whole road.
This was followed by abusive and fro
fame language.
AS the carriage stopped at the churcn
door the president, greatly annoyed
at the insult offered to Mrs. Roose-
Welt and the children, alighted and di-
rected the attention of the secret-ser-
vice officers to the man. and ordered
that he be compelled to leave the vicin-
ity of the chur,h. Mccain hesitated
when ordered T., move on, but as an
officer was about to stimulate his move
ments he sprang on his wheel and rode
away rapidly.
While the incident was annoying to
the president ard his family, 1t is his
desire that no action be taken against
the man.

Hiss at Pope's Funeral.

Paris, Aug. 3.-Not without a small
amount of humiliation French writer
lis forced to confess To strangers that
the chief political event OF the last
week was the discussion as TO whether
or not the ministers should attend the
funeral services celebrated at Notre
Dame in honor of Leo XIII.
Everywhere in Paris, as in other
cities, representatives OF all the FRO
testant, schismatic or even the pagan
powers considered it their duty to as
sst in like ceremonies. From this we
may conclude that all the peoples OF
the earth are officially united in this
mourning.
1t seems strangt, that the French
government should be the only eNeep-
tion. Not only does it consider the
pope as a sovereign, bu; the ambassa-
dor Of the pope. the papal nuncio, ranks
as the dean of the diplomatic corps.
But we are buldened by our anti
clericals, who are only 'tppsy turvy
ciericals. who seem to think it incum-
bent on themselves to revive the previ-
Gus errors of the latter party.
In former times; the clericals abso-
|Iutely refused official honors to those
who died outside the pale of the
church. Today the ani-clericals re-
fuse similar~honors to those who die In
the sanctity of the church. The most
rabid among them form group about
q paper called LAction. whose editor
lis renegade Roman Catholic priest. a
former Able Charbonnel. They threat
ened to hiss the ministers ii they went
to tho funeral service held b', the arch
bishop of Paris at Notre Dame.
Knowing that they kept their word,
having already invited riots at the "fete
de Dieu' procession. some were intimi-
dated by their threats and many min
listers remained away. Some, like
Combes. did not even send representa-
tives. Others. like Chaunne sent their
secretaries in their stead.

morning and found all around the pre-
cincts Of the conclave the guards had
been doubled and wherever there was
the slightest possibility of communica-

watched together.

side is that the cardinals rose early
today and individually celebrated mass
IN the Paline chapel. They took break
fast at 8. going shortly after to the Sis
tine chapel, where they remained until

Leading Papal Candidates Considered
Out of the Race Today

Out Of the Race Today.
Rome, Aug. 3.-Twice Sunday did
the little cloud Of smoke issuing from
che chimney OF the Sistine chapel sig
nal to the world that another fruitless
ballot had been taken in the conclaye
Of the cardinals.
II no election takes place today, the
cardinals will vote again in the as.ar-
noon and twice daily until some cardin-
al receives the necessary forty-t two
votes.
In referece to the reports on the sit
uation, claimed to be based on special
knowledge, only one is worth noting.
This is the effect that Rampolla who
had only eighteen votes on the first
ballot; Cardinal Vannutelli, who led on
the second ballot, and Cardinal Gotti,
have all virtually withdrawn. The
choice now seems to lie between Cardi-
nal Sarto, the patriarch of Venice;
Cardinal DiPietro. and Cardinal Ca
pecelatro. archbishop of Capua-
Rampollas friends favor Di Pietro.
and Vannutelli's friends support Ca
pecelatro. Sarto is neutral candidate.
The impression is widespread that
there will be an election today, but
there is nothing on which to base such
an impression beyond the above re-
port.
Several attempts to establish COM
munication with the conclave have
been discovered in time and there have
been some suspicious lights waving in
the cells OF several cardinals which
were interpreted as signals. These
were reported Immediately to the cam
erlingo, by the marshal. and extra pre-
cautions were provided to prevent a
repetition of the occurrence. Conven-
tional signs for communication, codes,
etc, have all failed up to the present
time.
