SHOT BY SISTER
Fred Iverlett Was Mistaken for
a Burglar.
Three Bullets Hit Him-His Wounds
Not Thought to Be Serious.

Fred Iverlett, we'll known young
gocery clerk of 627 South Fifth
street, was seriously but not fatally
shot Sunday morning about O'CLOCK
by his sister. Miss Mary Iverlett, whC
mistook him for burglar.
The young man, it seems, came in
about midnight and went to bed. The
family knew he was in, as some one
unlocked the door for him. About
O'Clock he went into the kitchen to
got drink. and his sister heard him
moving about As there had been
some one prowling about the house
the night before, she seized her pistol
and went Into the room, opening fire.
One bullet struck her brother in the
left thigh. another in the right hand
and the third in the back, going
through the shoulder but not the lung
as at first thought.
By this time he had told her who il
was and prevented her shooting again.
She is an expert shot and never missed
once.
Young Iverlett was married only a
few days ago to Miss Matte Collins,
adopted daughter Of former Marshal
James Collins. Drs. Robertson and
Hoyer were called to attend him and
do not think that the wounds will ter
inmate fatally. There is no imme.
diate danger.

THE REDUCTION TAX LAW.

While some objection has been made
to the Reduction of Tax law enacted |
by the last Legislature, and in some |
instances reasonably 20. Yet it must be !
admitted that as a whole, the act has
many good features and as to its nj: !
''alo purpose-viz: the lowering Ct
the rate and increasing the valuation
of assessable property, there can be
no questions Of its being a move in the
right direction.
Form any years the total valuation
of taxable property in the State has
been given approximately at $25.OO0,-
600. The custom has prevailed in the
different counties Of systematically
lowering the valuation and in order to
secure the necessary revenue to run
the State and county governments, the
TAX rate was always proportionately
raised. This custom was not only ex.
ceedingly unfair, but created an erro-
neous impression in the outside world
that the taxable property in the State
was exceedinly small, while the rate
Of taxation was excessively high. The
impression SO created has been ex-
tremley discouraging to pearsons who
contemplated locating in the State.
One of the first questinos asked by a
possible homeseeker is. What is the
property valuation and what is the tax
rate in your country" The reply in
most cases would be: "The valuation
is less than a million and the tax rate
$3.50 on the hundred dollars" This
invariably dampens the enthusiasm of
the home-seeker or investor, as to the
inducements offered by our climate,
cheap lands, prospective development
of other branches of industry and the
opportunity of gaining a desirable re
sident and investor was lost If he
happens to be in the State making g
personal investigation he generally
takes the next train for other sections
If perchance he has written to a Sta i
Or county official which frequently &c
ours, and the official gives the fact
he is never heard of again. Probably
within the last three years the editor
of the Journal has received twenty
letters from persons in other State
making inquiries in regard to the eli
mate, prices Of land in Nevada, ant
such other questions as would natur
ally be put by persons seeking resi-
dent locations, with the resultant in
vestments. Among the first Of the que
tions was almost invariably in regar.
to assessed valuations and rate of tan
alton. Notwithstanding the attractive
and truthful pen picture which thi
writer was enabled to present of CT
mate, cheap and productive land an
everything else which would attrac
the home-seeker, with but one or tw
exceptions, the answer to the valua
tion and tax rate query closed III
correspondence.
If the question could be answere
truthfully by stating the valuation Z
$10O,00O,000, and the average tax rat
at SO cents on the hundred dollars n

a young Frenchman, who said that he
was employed as clerk in a London
banking house, told me in broken Eng
fish, the story of the Bastile and why
the Frenchmen of today celebrate it.
The Bastile was famous old French
prison in which the monarchs of the
old days disposed of their fellow men.
many times without just cause. Men
were confined there, without trial, and
grew old without knowing what Of
Tense they were charged with. The
prison had accommoda tons for only
eighty persons but at times as many
as three hundred were crowded into it
during the reignS of Louis XIV and
Louis XIV. Among the famous prison.
ers there during the reigns of the two
monarchs named were Cardinal Richie
lieu, De Sacy, Voltaire, Cardinal Rohan,
and a many other dignitaries of church
and state. Through the arbitrary and
unjust confinement of untried and prom
inent men the Bastile became a SYM
Dol of despotic government. During
the revolution of 1889 the populace de-
termined to do away with the famous
prison. On the morning of July 18th,
of that year a great mob stormed the
Bastile. Delaunay, the govern 0r, and
several officers, were killed and the
place captured The prisoners were
set free and the mob demolished the
high walls of masonry that enclosed
the prison. Years later patriotic citi-
zens of a free republic erected a bronze
column on the site of the Bastile to
commemorate it's fall and little by lit
tie the day of the anniversary of it's
destruction has come to be celebrated
until it is now the national fete day of
the French.
II will long remember the revels of
the Fourteenth of July of three years
ago and 1 suppose that this years cele-
bration is similar to the last for I was
told that the celebrations each year for
the past ten years have varied but lit

brated more noisily year by year"
