WILL EQUALIZE TAXES.

If properly equalized the taxes of
the people of this city would be about
two per cent on the actual valuation Of
property. AS it has been in the past,
the rich corporations, like the Albu-
querque Water Supply company, have
lodged equal taxation. The poor peo-
pie Of the city in addition to paying
high water rates have helped pay the
taxes of the rich concerns. This Is to
be all changed. The new law relating
to the equalization of taxes is the
best measure ever passed by a New
Mexico legislature. There is no loop
hole left for the rich al dodger to es'
cape paying his share of taxation. The
territorial board of equalization is
clothed with authority to go into every
county and equalize the tax returns
of the same. The travelling auditor is
also clothed with authority to bring
about equal assessment of property
for taxation. In a short time it will be
impossible for anyone to hold severa
hundred lots in the best parts of thi'
city for speculative purposes, and turf
them in for taxable purposes at 81
each.

OUR JOSHUA.

In olden times there was a Joshua
who. it is asserted, commanded the
sun to stand still while he settled a
rough house disturbance with the hea-
then who were trying to knock him
out of the job of bossing the several
wards of Jerusalem and the adjacent
precincts in that vicinity. The chron-
icler of that event asserts that both
the sun and moon stopped while
Joshua was carving his enemies. This
has been a mooted question for cen
turtles, but there is no doubt that
Joshua carried the caucus and remain
ed political boss of Jerusalem till he
waxed old and was called to his
fathers.
In imitation and emulation of his
distinguished namesake, one Joshua,
Of Las Vegas, a successful money
changer, conceived the notion the 9th.
er day that he would do something
more than clip coupons and calculate
interest, and at once become the
Joshua of Albuquerque and smite his
enemies. He was actuated to this
heroic notion from the sordid fact that
the tax collector of this county had re,
moved the funds of the county to an,
other bank. Joshua was so mad that
he advised the people to quit paying
taxes. In this way he thought he would
diminish the cash that was flowing in.
TO the Golfers of a hated rival. He also
advised that the republican leaders OF
this county should be at once wiped
out OF political existence. He called an
Indignation meeting and hired Marion
and Field to arouse the people and

program to have the address of Spar

BLUE-EYED Boy.
Out This Way, Twenty Odd Years Ago,
He Stole a Horse From Capt.
Jack Crawford.
A FRONTIER STORY.
Denver Field and Farm.

From Denver Field and Farm.
In 1882, after the Victorio campaign,
Captain Jack Crawford was appointed
post trader at old Fort Craig, N. NJ. He
was awarded a contract for $40 tons
of hay at $22.40 the government ton.
One morning a bright a bright, blue
eyed boy, with very light hair, came
to him in the bayfield, and asked for a
job. The boy said he had came from
Illinois and said he was about II years
OF age. Despite the dust and CRIME of
travel, he was fairly well dressed.
Captain Crawford says: After
questioning him l made up my mind l
had a runaway from a good home. l
had no work for,him, but as he said he
was broke | told him to stay in camp
ard eat for a few days and help to
cook a little. Three days later I gave
him work at raking hay and a week
later | was called to Santa Fe on bust
ness.
When returned by little boy, Har-
ry, ran out and said, oh, papa, Pet is
stolen Who stole her?' | asked. Then
Eva, my daughter, Joined in: oh, pa
pa, that boy must have stolen Pet last
evening, as she was picketed just back
of the store Pet was a steel dust
race mare for which I had paid $275
and l needed her in my business. l
soon took the trail, we'll mounted, and
with a Winchester and a pair of six
shooters | felt that | could hold my
W with this desperate blue eyed
boy horsethief. Well, | did run onto
him and, of course, he needed killing,
because he would steal from others
and finally get to be a desperate and
kill people. But how could | or any one
kill a boy lying sound asleep under a
cottonwood without gun or pistol and
my mare turned loose and grazing
back toward the fort, only twenty
miles away?
Hello. George; wake up, George;
it's time to go to work. Get up!' And
George sat up and rubbed his eyes,
Then, seeing M standing in front OF
him with a pair of six shooters in my
belt, he turned pale and jumping tc

| reached this far l started her back
for home:' Yes, my boy, that may be
true; but you go and catch Pet. She
is dragging the rope and only a short
distance up the river grazing. You viii
have to go with me-
81 could easily have put this boy in
Jail or from four to seven years, but
after keeping him over night at my
house and pretending to prepare hin
for Jail | finally got a confession out
of him. He had been reading dime
novels, %patronized the blood and thun
der dramas and acknowledged that il
was such things that led him TO run
away. He gave me his fathers ad
dress and | wired him, received money
by telegraph and sent the boy home
He is cashier today in one of the bis

To hold political power these bank of

kilties Band mot a Band"

klltieS Bdnd mot a Band
The remarkable and u~nrivalled sue
cess obtained throughout it's tours of
the United States by the famous Kill
ties band of Canada has been marred
by but one criticism, which is made
by some Of it's rivals among the great
touring bands Of the continent. THE
| Kilties band is not a band; it is an ag-
~gregation of Highland dancers, singers
and bagpipers with a big military band
thrown in" is the way one critic de-
compares favorably with the best or
CARNATIONS which have ever toured
America is admitted, but it has struck
also the happy idea of varying the pos
sible monotony of successive band Sc
lections by alternating those numbers
and horn pipes, as well as vocal solos
and 'harmonized choruses, in all of
which the H~ighlanders show that the
Scotch-Canadians are well trained mu-
sicians as well as light Of foot. The
novel bare kneed uniform, the kilt, is
both picturesque and attractive. To
the statement that the Kilties ARE not
a band" alone, comes a decided rec
ommendation. Certainly the enormous
cowds of enthusiastic Americans who
have cheered the Highlanders to the
echo in the 200 American cities al.
ready visited would lead to the impress
sion that novelty and versatility in a
band constitute important elements in
success. The Kilties will appear at
