A. J. Hoffman, deputy county clerk
OF Wyandotte county. has raised the
same old question which hes argued be-
fore the state board for several years:
that the board ought not to assess Ger
ta1nreal estate owned by the railroads in
Kansas City. Kansas, but leave it for
the local assessors. The state board
has always assessed this land. which is
being held by the railroads for yard
age purposes, but the local assessors
have also assessed it. The Union Pa
cific has always insisted on paying the
assessment fixed by the state board, as
that has been the lowest, and for six
years the county has refused to accept
taxes from the road on the state as
sessnent.
The question is now in the supreme
court and will be settled within a short
time. The county proposed to sell the
railroad land for taxes and the road
enjoined it. and thus the matter was
brought into court.
Mr.. Hoffman also contends that the
Union Pacific company ought to pay
taxes on 81 acres while it is paying on
g. It is simply a question as to the
amount The parties have agreed to
have it surveyed by three surveyors
together, one from the Union Pacific,
another to be the county surveyor, and
the third to be named by the state
board and paid equally by the COM
pany and the county.

advanced years of the veterans the route
of the parade was only two miles long.
Departments from every State in the

just before the parade was dismissed.
The most picturesque feature along the
line of march was the living flag, COM

Jews and Gentiles Clash.

The Jewish Morning Journal of New
York prints the following from its War
saw (Russian) correspondent:
"On Sunday, July 81, in the city OF
Ostrowitz government of Rodom), a
Jew was quarelling with Gentle. The
latter, who was an epileptic, fell during
the encounter as a result of one of his
epileptic fits. The Christian bystaDd
ers, however, raised the cry that the Jew
murdered their comrade. In a short
time the Christian inhabitants of the
town turned out and proceeded to avenge
the alleged crime. The riot that ensued
resolved itself into an awful massacre OF
Jews, of whom twenty were killed and n
great number were wounded. The mas
sacre lasted all day. Another massacre
occurred on Saturday, July 80, in the
town of Potseveh Government OF Sed-
litzl, in the following manner A local
clergyman induced a small Hebrew girl
to embrace the Christian faith. The
parents of the girl went to the church
where their daughter was confined, ac-
companied by some of their Jewish
friends, and demanded her release on
the ground that the court decided that
the girl was under age, and could not act
independently in such matters, and that
consequently her parents had the right
to interfere with her action. The clergy
man, seeing that the Jews were deter
mined to use force if necessary, called
the Mayor to his aid. The two melted
the populace against the Jews, and a
fierce riot ensued. More than hundred
Jews were severely wounded. The num-
Der of dead is unknown because the
police withhold the facts"
An investigation of the reports pub
lished in New York by Jewish morn
ing paper TO the effect that 90 persons
were killed July 81 in religious riot
at Ostrowitz, government of Rodom, and
that riot in which hundred Jews were
wounded occurred July 80 at Potseveh,
government of Sedlitz, elected state
ment from the Department of Police Of
the Russian Ministry of the Interior at
st. Petersburg to the effect that one per-
son was killed and 20 wounded in Jew.
ish riot at Ostrowitz, and that few per
sons were wounded in the Province of
Siedlitz. The disorders in Siedlitz arose
from Jewess having been converted to
orthodoxy.
The anti-Jewish riots reported to have
taken place in the Parchevo district Of
Vlodaya, Russian Poland, on July 30,
turn out to be nothing more than dis
turbance caused by the Hebrews trying
to kidnap a Jewess who had been christ
ened by Roman priest at Lublin. The
local police were able to rescue the con-
vert and disperse the crowd without re-
sorting to extreme measures. About
score of persons were slightly mauled in
the scufiie which ensued, but no one was
killed or even severely injured.

TUESDAY EVENING. AUG. 10, 1904.

DISASTER. it seems, still follows the
Russian arms. In nearly every conflict,
on land or sea, since the unfortunate
conflict began, the Muscovite, courageous
and energetic as he is, has come out
second best, until now, with disabled
feet and the Monaghan almost at the
gates of Port Arthur, it is apparently
but question of time when the yellow
man will force equalization. No mat
ter how much can be said in justification
of the course of Japan, there IS natural
sympathy from various quarters for the
Gar in the trying ordeal through which
he is passing. His willy foe has the
moral support of other nations which
have ever been hostile TO Russia, and
while her life's blood and resources are
being exhausted in futile attempts to
crush her adversary the majority OF the
white race (strange as it may seem) are
disposed to chuckle. Russia has long
been a colossus among nations, and her
present distress is most humiliating to
her ruler and people. The tide may
however, turn in her favor, although at
present there is no visible rift in the dark
cloud which settled over her domains in
the early spring.

Good Water for Militia

One of the precautions taken at the
manOeuvre at camps at Manassas will be
the provision of good water for the troops
engaged on the work. The War De-
partment officials have authorized the
digging of wells, from which the water
will be piped to the various camps. The
good springs and streams will also be
drawn upon. An army engineer has
been engaged this week in marking all
the contaminated sources of water sup
ply, to the end that the soldiers may not
be affected by drinking bad water The
surgeons say there viii be no excuse for
anyone to get caught in this way at Ma
nassas, as all the springs will be plainly
marked. The use of signs will be liberal
and everything will be done to facilitate
the location of those in authority.

Granted an Extension.

Denver, Aug. 16.-Of his own volt
ton late yesterday afternoon, District
Judge Mullins granted an extension of
ten days in which Mrs. Genevive Chand-
Ter Phipps may plead in the divorce suit
brought by Lawrence G. Phipps, the
millionaire steel magnate. Had the ex-
tension not been granted. Phipps today
would have secured the decree without
publicity. One reason for granting de-
lay was that the principal counsel for
the defendant is not in the city and be-
cause of the intimation that delay motion
was made to maintain delay. The court
already quashed the. service of the in
junction on the United States Steel Cor
poration aud J. p. Morgan. Mrs.
Phipps proposes 10 fight the divorce to
the bitter end and has engaged small
army of attorneys from Denver to New
York. The grounds on which the d.
vorce was asked for are not made known,
but it is understood that they are sensa-
