LEARNING roo LATE
About the Law Regarding the Making
 of Assessments.

Some of the taxpayers of the county are beginning to gather some informa- tion that would have been of more value to them if they had acquired it earlier in the season. They are wonder ing why they have not seen the as- sessor or some of his deputies. The wonder has grown so strong that many of them have come to town to find out why they had not beer called upon to bear their share of the public burden. They have invariably found that they have not been overlooked in the gen eral excitement of listing property for taxation. and they complain for the most part that the assessor has an ex- aggerated idea of their wealth.
 There was time when the assessor or his deputies had to see every tax payer. but a later legislature neglected to make provision for the expenses of the tour of the county. Since then the law has required that the taXpay- CTS shall make return of their property and falling to do so the assessor must use the list of the year before
 It happens that a man has property one year of a certain kind and none of the same kind the next year, but the lawmakers assumed that the. mat ter was as broad as it was long and while the individual burdens might not be equitably divided, the county would lose nothing in the average. The man who has been under assessed is not likely to make a "holler." but the man who finds that he has been assessed for l, 900 head of cattle which he owned last year and paid taxes on and sold before the beginning oi the year is likely to make an objection to his rating.
 Notwithstanding the law does not re- quire it. deputy assessors have visited nearly all parts of the county this year They would frequently find nobody at home and could not make a second trip.
 The board of equalization has almost finished the session, but 1t will hold a short supplemental session at which all the complaints then presented will be heard. But if they have not been presented at that time the valuations must stand.

ADJUSTMENTS

Tonight will be the last performance of that beautiful play, 'Linwood
 This piece has made a distinct hit with Phoenix theater people and the fact that this will be the last oppCr- tunity that one may have of seeing it. should swell even the large crowds that have been nightly in attendance. One of the largest houses of the season greeted the players last night, and they all found their moneys worth of first class entertainment The play seemed to go even better than on the opening night the entire cast seemed to be filled with a desire to please the pa irons. Miss Perrin was as effective as usual. and her work at all times was artistic and finished. Wilfred Lucas came in for his share of the applause. which he doubly merted. His talents are undisputed, and his honest efforts to please have won him many friends. His bearing denotts him to be a gem tleman as we'll as an actor, and this adds to his popularity. $. M. Curtiss was all there as Carter, and gave the same clear conception of the comedy lines that delighted the audience The specialties by the Keltons won them several recalls, and the dance after the show was largely attended.

Cummings then did the proper thing under the circumstances and treated the judge, jury, witnesses and the crowd.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

While in Washington a few days ago MT. John G. Wright. of Douglas. Wyo., the trainer of the horse Wyoming. which was presented to President Roosevelt, related a number of inter esting stories of cowboy life, with which he was identified for a number oi years. Among other tales of life on the plains Mir. Wright mentioned an incident Illustrating the effect upon the cowboys of a sudden visitation of Providence.
 "One season. he said, "I was on the roundup with a cowboy outfit in the hills of Wyoming. l believe it was the toughest bunch of fellows I ever saw together. In the use of profanity they were all graduate professors and the irreverence that sometimes fell from their lips was almost blood-curdling They seemed to have an utter disre- gard for any semblance of moral or religious ethics and in many other ways they were about the toughest proposition l ever came up against
 "The owner of the cattle ranch had a brother in the outfit by the charac- teristic name of Bill. Bill was, l think the worst O. the bad lot, and he never opened his mouth to spaek without rolling out a string of oaths. He was a hard sort of fellow, a good broncho buster, and almost fearless.
 Among the horses with the outfit was a vicious beast called an out law That is. he was both crazy and dangerous, ana there were few fellows In the bunch who would consent to ride him. One night the boss ordered his brother to catch up the outlaw and ride him on the rounds that night, There was a heavy storm coming up and Bill objected in violent language to riding the horse, but the boss per sisted. Finally, with an outburst of profanity, Bill declared he would not ride the outlaw. He said when he died he wanted to be killed by lightning and not by a crazy horse.
 "A few minutes later Bill saddled another horse and started out for the cattle, repeating that when he died it would be by lightning and not by 6 horse. The storm had come up by this time and when Bill reached the edge of the herd, but a short distance from the wagon, the heavens seemed to open with a streak of fire and there was terrific report that shook the aerth In the flash we saw Bill and his horse

KEEPING PROMISES
Phoenix Appreciates Always When
 Promises Are Kept.

Every time you read about Deans Kidney Pills you are told they cure ev- cry form of kidney i'll, from backache to urinary disorders. How are our promises kept? Ask any citizen who has tried the treatment. Ask the man who makes the following statement:
 H. T. Diehl, miner, of 15S F.. Alameda St, Tucson, Ariz., says: My experi- ence with Doan's Kidney Pills proved that they are everything claimed for them. In the month of February. 1902. I first felt a slight pain across the small of my back directly over the kid neys, probably caused by a cold set ting in those organs. It was not seri- ous, but it struck me if neglected it might lead to future trouble, and read ing one night in a Tucson paper about Doan's Kidney Pills my daughter went to Martins drug store for box. I took them as directed and when I had com pleted the treatment the pain in my back disappeared. I was so surprised at the prompt and efficient relief given by Doans Kidney Pills that I recom- mended them to a number of my ac- quaintances and even went so far as to mail a box to a friend of mine living in Orc Blanco who had kidney trouble" l"
 Just such emphatic endorsement can be had right here in Phoenix. Drop into the Brisley Drug Co.'S drug store and ask what their customers report.
 For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents per box. Foster Milburn Co.,, Buffalo. N. Y, sole agents for the Unit ed States. Remember the name Doan's-and take no other.

WOMEN IN THE BUSINESS WORLD

By women I do not mean the sweet, simpering young things from seventeen to the one, two, or three point in the multiplication table. but their more mature sisters who do not hesitate to appear in answer to advertisements setting forth that no one under "twen- ty-eight" need apply. There is, of course, still room and always will be for the angels in the teens" and even for those who have no pretensions to being angels so far as personal at tractiveness is concerned. They have demonstrated their ability to make their own way. to take care of them selves, and the barriers they have sur mounted can never again be thrown up against them. But the sedate. self poised clear headed woman, who be- gins to count the decades she has lived on three of her fingers, is an entirely different proposition. There was a time, and not very far back, either. when the openings for her in the in- dustrial ranks were few and far be- tween. If she had not found an en- trance into them before that age the chances of doing so were all against her. The field was pre-empted by the
 
 into it. Then there were the "tradi- tiOns" of the trade of the house, |" which barred out all but the lords of creation. and prescribed that the do- mestic circle was the proper sphere for the female invaders who aspired to do mems work to the neglect of that which nature and all that sort of thing intended they should do. They were politely, but not invariably so. re- minded that they belonged to an in ferio- race, so far as mentality went. But even conceding equality in that re- spect, they were weak physically, and would be crushed in the struggle. That was the old style of argument and it took years of patient effort to ans wer it, to show how absurd it was. to prove that it was based on ignorance. stupidity, intense selfishness, and the worse than feudal conservatism which
