AFTER TAX DODGERS.
County Clerk Newman VIII Look
for UntaXed Mortgages.

County Clerk Newman is going after
holders of bonds and mortgages who
failed to mention them to the assessors.
He said today that complaint had
been made to him of tax dodgers, espec-
tally holders of mortgages, who had
failed to turn in their property to the
assessors. He also said that he would
have to take steps at once toward ap-
pretending these dodgers and bringing
them to time.
Il am going to take the mortgage list
from the records, and personally COM
pare it with the assessors returns said
Mr.. Newman The law compels the
county clerk to take action in such
cases, and empowers him, or the county
commissioners, to assess a penalty of so
per cent of the value of the property
when they get proof that it was not
given in to the assessors As fast as evil
dence is collected 1 intend to bring in
these dodgers and hola an investigation.
The state board of assessors have here
tofore taken charge of such cases, and
will back the commissioners and clerk :
Mr.. Newman's attention has been called
to the fact that numerous mortgage and
invisible property" holders evade the
assessors on the last round.

The railroads have extended the har-
vest hand rate of one cent mile from
Missouri river points to points in the
wheat belt, until July Is. This extern
sion was requested by T. B. Gerow.

to have expired today.

hands in the following places: Trego
county 200; Pratt county, 400; Larned.
Kas, 200; Russell, Kas., 200: Ellis coun-
ty, $50. Total. 1850.
Mr.. Gerow estimates that if 5000
men can come into Kansas during the
next five days, it will help the farmers
in their present shortage of farm hands.
Barton, Harvey, Reno, Saline and Clay
counties now all report the harvest
practically closed, and no further need
of men.

P. ]. A. Meyer, at New Haven, Conn,

New York free employment agency.
wired as follows: rs there still de-
mand for harvest hands? Are wages
the same?" In reply Mr.. Gerow said
to send men uD to the number of 2,000
1t is probable that Mr.. Bealin will ship

until further hearing of the application
Justice Sullivan of the supreme court then

Der of days. They entered Zahns saloon

captured AFTER running fight IN when
Rhea was slightly wounded Unusual
pressure had been brought on Governor

months ending with May amounted to
"a million dollars and of other precious
stones Az millions. OF the "a million
dollars worth of diamonds imported, 10
millions were uncut diamonds; this to-
tai of 10 millions of uncut diamonds is
a large increase compared with the i'm
portations of uncut diamonds in pre-
ceding years.
This inference. that the cutting of
diamonds is becoming an important in
dustry in the United States. which is
suggested by the rapid increase in the
importation of uncut diamonds. is
strengthened by the fact that the CEN
sus statistics of "lapidary work" show
that the total value of production of
lapidary work in 1900 was over 51z mill
lion dollars against less than half
million in 1890 and that the value of
the materials used in this work in 1900
was over Az millions against less than
a quarter of a million in 1890.

STILL AT LOGGERHEADS.
Commander Smith and Col. Loomis
Fail to Agree on Reports.

Department Commander A. w. Smith
arrived in Topeka this afternoon from
his home in Mcpherson In speaking of
the controversy which has arisen con-
corning the publication of the official
records, Commander Smith said:
AT the encampment, Mr.. Coulter
agreed that if ex-Department Comman-
der Loomis be allowed to publish the
proceedings, it would not cost the G. A.
r. cent. When this proposition was
made. the opposition to having Mr..
Loomis take charge of the work was
withdrawn. l propose to hold Mr.
Loomis to this agreement. If he will
publish these proceedings without cost
to the department. he can publish them.
But now Mr.. Coulter informs me that
it will cost the department $3.50 for this
work. We can do the work ourselves
for $500, and unless Mr.. Loom1s and Mr.
Coulter will do it gratis, we will do ~
ourselves.
Il have part of the reports of the
meeting in my office-the stenographic
report-but Mr.. Loomis has the reports
of officers. There is a way 20 get those
documents from Mr.. LOOMS. and We
will get them if we are forced to do so''

VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCES

r. B. Craven was pardoned out of

year for petit larceny. He stole six
chickens He has been in Jail six
months, and his sentence was commuted
to July 1.
The jail sentence of year for petit

was probably inflicted because of an
epidemic of chicken thieving which had
occurred in Sedgwick county. 1t was
the first time Cravens had been con-
victed of anything, however.
