ROUGH
RIDERS
Major Hersey Said to be ReOr-
ganizing Them.
Wants to Take Regiment to Help ia
pan-Probsbly Joke Of the
Majors.
ONE PADUOAH ROUGH Rider

Major II. B. Hersey, Of Louisville,
according to New Orleans dispatch
oontemplates a reorganization Of the
Spanish American Rough Riders.
Says the dispatch:
major Henry B. HerseJ, who was
a Major in Roosevelt's Rough Riders
and is now an inspector in the United
states Weather Bureau, and Capt.
Robert II. Bruce, who commanded
Troop NJ during the war, now of Min.
cola. Tex, have been here several
days working quietly on project,
some inttma.ion Of which leaked out
today through . statement from
Capt. Bruce. He says they will or
ganize the remnant Of Roosevels's
Rough Riders and enlist them under
Japan's banner. He says Maj Her
sey has already been informed that
many of the old riders will join. The
regiment will be organized in Texas,
where it will be thoroughly drilled.
1t will be equipped entirely with
American arms and Announcements.
Hersey will be the Colonel"
IL is probable, however, that Major
Hersey, who has number Of friends
in Paduoah, particularly Mr.. VIM.
Bornemann, the government weather
observer, has played a joke on some
over Jealous newspaper man. There
were very few Of the Rough Riders
from Kentucky, but among them was
Mr.. Lee Sharks, Of Paducah, a well
known Illinois Central engineer. Mr..
Shanks, however, says he had enough
rough riding during the unpleasant
ness with Spain.

A $1.65
TAX RATE
May Not be Enough to Run the
City This Year.
The Supervisors Complete Their Work
Assessment Nearly Ten
Millions.
IN SESSION SEVEN WEEKS

The supervisors of the CITY tax books
completed their work last evening
after seven weeks session, and the
total assessment, including the raises
aud reductions they made, is now go
Ss5, 997.
As the books showed a total valua-
ti.o Of IS, ABB, 039 when City Assessor
DICK completed them, the supervisors
have increased the assessment II mil
lion dollars, or to be more exact,
s952,35S, which includes, however,
the $685. ASS valuation on railroad
property assessed by the railroad com
missioners, and not by the city as
SCISSOR.
Now that the assessment 10 COM
plete, the city can ascertain Just how
much money to expect for govern
mental purposes. The apportionmsnt
ordinance passed few weeks ago
calls for sl9l, 100. as follows:
Salaries legislative department.,
%, 2a0; executive department, el4. 2S0;
streets, including oulverts and
bridges, 322. 900; fire departments,
sl7, 500; police department. including
salaries Of city prison, patrol wagon,
service and supplies, $4,000; electric
plant, Gil, 500; water, I'll, 900; real
estate, %, 800; city hall, $1,000; Oak
Grove, %, 500; hospital, pauper and
charity including Home of Friendless,
IS, 900; sanitary, including pest house,
81, 500; general expenses, "a, 900; con-
tingent fund, $1,000; cost Of suits,
81, 900; interest, $1,000; floating
debt, %, 900; sinking fund, $4,000;
library, %, 500; school fund, s33, 900.
The total assessment as now an
nounced by the supervisors, at a tt.65
tax rate, would bring in si44, 500. 05,
which, together with the $35, 900 for
licenses, would make $3.50, S39. 05,
leaving the city couple Of thousand
dollars short. As some Of the city IL
oenses are never collected, and as the
council sometimes reduces assessments
after the supervisors have gone over
them, it seems that the city cannot
possibly raise the necessary revenue
with q 81. 65 tax rate. The city au-
thorities hsd announced that they be-
lieyed the rate would be lower this
year than last, possibly sl.6o, but it
may have to be more.
The tax books will be turned over to
the auditor and then presented to the
legislative boards, who fix the tax rate.
The first new taxes will be payable
June l.
Mayor Yeiser this morning stated
that he thought the city can get along
ON a sl.65 tax rate this year the same
as last. Auditor kirkland is Of the
same opinion. The expenses may not
be as great as estimated, and more
money may come in than now apbroxi-
mated.
1t is not yet known, however, what
the rate will be. Some members Of
the boards have been IN favor of max
ing the rate lower than last year, while
others are in favor Of running no risk
of not having enough funds, and con-
sequently of making the rate large
enough to bring in the necessary mon
ey.

He Pot Up His Gun.

One of our best practical farmers
related to us the other day how he
came to change his mind about kill
ing birds. He said he formerly took
a great deal of pleasure with his gun
and dogs. About six months after
coming to the territory he told his
wife he would go out and kill few
quail. It YVES about four o'clock; so
calling his dogs he started out on
his own farm. He soon shot three
quail, and his wife, knowing that if
he got thoroughly interested in the
pursuit Of game he would be out till
long after supper time, persuaded
him to come back to the house and
they would have supper, when he
could 90 again. "All right" said the
farmer; Il will dress these and we'll
have them for supper" His wife re-
marked or the fu'lness of the craws
Of the birds, afd ona~apsnipg one it
was found packed full of chinch bugs!
Out Of curiosity they counted and
found over four hundred dead chinch
hrgs in the craw Of one quail! Said
the farmer in relating the circum-
stance to us: Il just cleaned up the
gun and have not shot bird since,
and if you'll come down to my place
Of y morning or evening and see the
hi Is coming to my farm you'll think
icy know their friends. -Hennery

Bryan Saved the Party.

To the incessant and steadfast bat
u, maintained by Mr.. Bryan for the
last,two years, during which time he
has been the target for the vitupera-
'ion and malignant detraction Of the
metropolitan press, we owe the fact
that we have to-day united demo-
cratic party and a platform accepta-
ble to every democrat.
Among the democratic leaders who
weigh the ability and genius Of the
men in the fighting line, and among
the honest and confding yeomanry
who respect and indorse political in
tegrity, he has always maintained
high standing; but the trusts, the
rings and those who abandoned this
party in the last campaign have de-
voted two years to what seemed an
agreed program Of abuse Of this wise
'chieftain and patriotic statesman,
and reyer we're men more disconcert-
ed than they were by his reception
at st. Louis and by the fact Of his
power in that convention. Aberdeen

Congressional District Primaries.

A majority of the democratic ex
ecutive committees of the different
congressional districts in Mississippi
will meet this week to select the date
for the holding Of the primary to
nominate democratic candidates from
the respective districts. However,
under the amendments to the primary
election law, adopted by the last
legislature. only one democratic pri-
mary to determine the nominee of
the party for Congress will be neces-
sary.
Section 7 on the amendment pro-
vides that in cases where there shall
be but one candidate for an Office,
the executive committee having in
charge such nomination shall, at the
expiration of the time for the sub
mission of names for the nomination,
declare the one candidate the party
nominee. aud no primary is necessary.
Under this section the different
congressional executive committees,
with the exception of the Sixth dis
trict, can set the date for the primary,
as the committee of this, the Eighth
Congressional district have done, and
set the date for the reconvening of
the committee, five days before the
date set for the primary, when if
there is only one name submitted,
they can declare that one candidate
the nominee. In seven of the dis
tricts of Mississippi the congressman
have no opposition. In the Sixth, or
seacoast district, Mr.. E. ]. Bowers,
the present incumbent, has an oppo
nent, former Chancellor Stone Dea-
yours, and in that district a primary
will be necessary Miss. News, Com

Monday evening.
She was laid by the side Of her
daughter, Rosa, who died in March,
1903. She survived her aged mother
