N.w orI,ana Cotton Market.

New Orleans, April 7.-Comparative quiet prevailed in the spot cotton market today. There were plenty of buyers about the sample rooms, but as factors were asking full prices only urgent orders were filled. Sales 1850 bales. Quotations un- changed.
 The future market was quite active at times during the session. In the early trading May advanced 12 points above the closing of yesterday to 1920; July 13 to 1O24; August F to 9.93 and October 9 to $50. The advance was made on the same basis as yesterday; control of the situation by the long side. Later in the day when the demands of shorts had been supplied, prices eased off gradually until the close, when April showed net gains of points, May June and July and August 2, while the more distant months lost 1 point each, compared with yes terday's closing.

ASSESSMENTS
INCREASED
Over ST. $4,000 Added
to MassiIIon Tax
Duplicate.

The Massillon board of review re-
ported to Auditor NJ. w. Oberlin Mon
day morning. A total Of S179,370 was
added to the tax duplicate, and reduce
tions amounting to $500 were made
in instances where the old appraisc,
ment was too high. The net total ad-
ditlons were S175,6S0. which will add
in one year over $4,000 to the taxes
levied for municipal, state and county
purposes.
The board was is session go days
the full amount of the time allowed
by law. Each member and the clerk
drew $500 for their services, and thu
other expenses were $9.37, which went
for postage. etc. The total expense
was 81 ,209.37, which is less than one
fourth of the increased taxes for o
single year.
Some surprising things were discov-
cred by the board of review, indicating
that the boards of equalization had
been rather derelict in duty. II was
discovered that 81 pieces of personal
property, some of them quite valuable.
were not upon the tax duplicate at all.
Some had been off for over ten years
and so far as could be learned others
had never been subject to taxation.
The assessors had missed a number oS
new buildings which had been erected
during the last year and these were
added to the list.
The board went after the Massillon
Water Supply Company. adding s15,350
to its tax value, raising the total to
an even 100000. The Light, Heat and
Power company was caught for $4,000,
The Massillon Glass company for like
amount. the Rhodes Bottle company
for $4,000, Julia Jarvis, who owns q
large amount CT outlying property, in
creased by sS,270, and the Kent Jarvis
estate $2,792.
The additions by wards was as fol-
lows: First ward, s44,413; second ward,
s29,975; third s53,345; fourth $51 ,635.
The board was composed of the fol-
lowing H. " Kramer, president John
Ginther, Edward Gleitzman, w. S
Spidle, clerk.

Labor Commissioner Montgomery
says one company in the beet growing
section of northern Colorado says it
wants 2,7O0 people to work for it. The
demand for labor in this field is enor-
nous. Five more families recently left
the Overland cotton mills to work on
the beet ranches.
The United States district attorneys
office has dismissed two actions against
Edgar A. Keller, John c. Curtis. the
Denver Consolidated Tramway Com
pany and number of others charged
with illegal cutting timber off the gov
ernment land in Platte canon The acts
complained of occurred about six years
age. The actions were brought civilly
to recover the value of the timber taxi
EN-, valued at, about $4,000. A com
ment, brought about the result named
aboye. :
: Steps to. recover for the state the
land in Puebfo's residence section, now
held by the Hard Land Company, will
soon be, taken The State Land Board
has Instructed Appraiser Smith to at
once proceed with the case. Attorney
General Miller informed the members
of the board that he considered the
claim of the state as excellent as far
as the first report of the appraiser
goes. Then the board decided that the
case should be taken up Immediately,
and authorized the expenditure of the
money that will be required.
Detailed maps of every coal mine in
Colorado in which the state has an in
terest will soon be on file in the Office
of the land board. The task of maxi
ing the surveys is now in progress un-
der the direction of Agent Cowdry,
appointed under the law passed by the
last Legislature, (which provides for
more careful accounting of all mineral
lands. Under the new law the state
itself, through the agent in charge of
the mineral lands, makes the surveys.
In this manner there is no opportunity
for the state to receive less than its
share of the money realized from the
output of the mines.
The capitol managers on, the 14th
inst. awarded the contract for coal for
six months to w. E. Russell. with priv
ilege of renewal. The price is S2.65 a
ton for northern Ignite nut. over a
five-eighths screen. The board re-
fused several requests for telephones
by state officers, because no money in
the maintenance fund is available
Only one three on the grounds had to
be replaced, costing. $3.50. Secretary
Lueders says the trees already set out
are worth $25 each. The board reduced
the number of electric lights during the
day to minimum. and also shut off
thirty-six of the one hundred and ten
water connections in the building.

DR.. J. F. Ensor Postmaster of Columbia,

in charge of State Insane Asylum at

Peruna is the best medicine know of

Only the weak need tonic. People are
never weak except from some good cause.
One of the obscure causes of weakness and
the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh.
Catarrh inhames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasma to escape
through the mucous membrane in the form
of mucous, This discharge of mucous is the
same as the loss of blood. 1t produces
weakness.
Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents

Governor Peabody's Irony.

Something of gentle irony is mani
fest in the invitation which Governor
Peabody of Colorado has issued to the
reception and entertainment commit
tees at st. Louis to call and take tea
with him at the Southern hotel. The
governor explains that, although he
was invited to the dedication ceremo-
MES by these bodies, he has not seen
or feard of them since his arrival in
St Louis and suggests that they might
like to make his acquaintance. This
is not at all bad for governor.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

Mrs. Wright, deputy state dairy com
missioner recently visited District At

fore him the facts in case of violation
of the oleomargarine law. The case is
that of the company placing the Iowa
roll" on the market. Large quantities
of this 'roll' have been sold in Colo

was sold as pure butter it was oleo-
margarine. 1t is stated that since the
publication of the statement that the

probably follow this action with others.
? Denver papers assert that wholesale
removals of county assessors may re-
suit from the annual controversy be-
tween the State Board of Equalization
and the county assessors. The State
Board of Equalization fixes the value OF
each of the railway, express, telegraph
and telephone lines in the state, and ap-
portions the value among the counties
along which the line is operated. The
county assessors claim that the State
Board fixes a much lower value on the
railway lines and property than is pro-
portionate to the valuations they put
on local property, real estate and per-
sonalty. The assessors, many of them,
have therefore openly threatened, If
the Board of Equalization does not in
crease the valuation of the railways
over that of 1902, that they will reduce
the valuations on the property they as
sess to what they consider a proper
tiorate figure. The governor has the
power to remove an assessor who un-
dervalues property.
