Records Show Big Decrease in
the Townships.
TOPEKA Is MOVED UP.
Large Enough Increase to Over
balance the Country.
Wide Discrepancies Found in
Topeka Is MOVED UP.
Wide Discrepancies Found in
the Various Valuations.

The assessed valuation of taxable pro-
perty in Shawnee county, as placed on
the tax rolls this year, shows that while
the amount of taxable property in the
city of Topeka has increased, the valua-
ton in the country has decreased and
the decrease is due to the falling off of
the total value of personal property.
The personal property valuation III
the eleven townships last year was $685.
120 and this year is 1851. 765. The valu-
alton of personal property in the coun-
try is s26,355 less this year than last.
1.-THE reason of this falling off in the
assessed valuation of personal property
in the country said Commissioner S.
H. Haynes today, lis due to the fact
that the farmers have sold off their
stock and their grain. Since the flood
of two years ago the farmers have dis
posed of their cattle and hogs and are
not feeding nearly as many this year
as formerly. Consequently, as they
have not the stock to feed, they have
marketed their grain. This is the prin-
cipal reason for the falling off in the
assessed valuation in the country"
There is an increase in the assessed
valuation of personal property in the
city of Topeka, this year, of 500, $50 and
this great increase offsets the loss in the
country. The personal property vaIua-
lions by townships and in Topeka this
wear are as follows:

STRONG CASE MADE
In Case of French Captain Condemned
as a Spy.

Toxic, July 1.-THE judgment in
the case of Captain A. E. Bougouin,
the French resident who was SEN
fenced to ten years Imprisonment at
hard labor on the charge of being a
Russian spy, declares the accused was
engaged in searching for and report
ing artillery secrets. The counts fol-
low:
First-Last November Bougouin as
certained the departure of a certain
division and sent a cipher message to
Kessier, a F'renchman of Shanghai,
who telegraphed the information to
the Petit Journal, Paris.
In November a certain division ef-
fected landing and dispatched cav
airy. Bougouin mailed the facts to
same newspaper.
Second-The departure northward
by rail of a certain division was ascer-
tanned and reported to the same news
paper.
Third-A division reached its des-
tination in January and another d.
vision was moved northward. The
facts were reported to Captain Della
bry of Paris through the mail pouch
of the French legation.
Fourth-The composition of various
artillery detachments of Port Arthur,
and the number of guns were ascer-
tanned in August and reported to Cap
tain Delabry in the same manner.
Fifth-The organization of a new d.
vision, the recruit of certain regiments
in Toxic, their dispatch to the front and
the recruiting of regiments at Sendai
were ascertained in February; the dis
patch of regiments from Yokohama, the
recruits at Nagoya and the dispatch OF
regiments from Taketoyo were reported
to Captain Delabry in the same man.
ner.
Sixth-The formation of certain bodies
at Hiroshima was reported to Captain
Delabry in the same manner. The pres
ence of a feet of 80 transports at a GER
tain point in April was reported to Kes-
sier at Shanghai and cabled to Captain
Delabry.
Additional information concerning the
cargoes of transports was reported by
letter.
The judgment recites that Bougouin
sent his interpreter Maxi to ascertain
the movements of troops and that Maxi
confessed his guilt.
The judgment declared that the infor-
nation covered by counts two and
three related to the northward move
ment of the investing army of Port
Arthur after the capitulation of thai
fortress, and previous to the battle OF
Mukden. The decision declared thai
therefore the information constituted ar
important military secret.

Had it not been for the fact that the
three county commissioners, sitting as
a board of equalization, equalized the
personal property assessments there
would have been a still greater decrease
for the assessors in the country put on
valuations that had a wonderful range.
In the country the valuations of horses
as made by the assessors ranged from
$3S to $58, the lowest valuation being in
Soldier township and the highest in To-
peka township. The board of equaliza-
ton fixed the average value of horses
in the county at about SAT. The value
of cattle as returned by the assessors
ranged from $13 in four townships to
$22 in Topeka. The board decided upon
$14 as about the average. The value of
hogs ranged in the country from $4.7S
in Williamsport township to $3.50 in To-
peka township. The few hogs, not sup
posed to be in the city of Topeka, were
assessed at 1888. The board decided on
an average value of $5.87. The value
of pianos ranged from $45 in Mission
township to SIG in the city of Topeka
and the board valued them all at 81.
The average values as returned by the
assessors show a great difference and
disclose the slack method of assessing.

store, it would be impossible
to get SO many good bargains
because this Topeka store
couldn't handle sufficient
quantities to make prices low.
Not all of the bargains the
Kansas City store gets hold of
are brought to this Topeka
store; not all would be suit
able for Topeka people. The
manager buyers here, who are
in close touch with the wants
of our customers, decide
whether or not the bargains
are good bargains for this
store.
Now you see the way in
which we derive such great
benefits from having a con-

are well nigh perfect. Early in the
day Assistant Secretary Hays, Chief
Statistician Hyde and several experts
of the department were placed in a
room under lock and key and they will
not be permitted to come out until
o'clock in the afternoon. The tele
phones in the room have been discon-
nected and a careful scrutiny will be
kept of the windows to avoid the pos
sibility of a leak through private
signals.
No communications of any sort have
been received from Mr.. Price or his
attorney and the secretary believes
that so far as the cotton investigation
report is concerned it is a closed in

We want to tell. you, in just
the manner we would converse
with you, the way that this
Topeka store derives such
great benefits from the Kan
sas City store.
The Kansas City store covers
nearly half block. It en-
ploys regiment of people. 1t
sells practically every thing for
members of the human family
to wear, eat and use. It is a
strictly cash buying and cash
selling store.
This Topeka store is owned
by the Jones Dry Goods Co. of
Kansas City, but it is operated
under a CHARTER granted
by the STATE OF KANSAS.

of cash buying and cash SELL

Washington, July 11.-Secretary
Wilson today turned over to the at

with the expectation that prosecution
of the several persons mentioned in
the report of the secret service officers
will follow.
The new system of preparing the
monthly crop reports, devised since
the cotton investigation began, was put
in force today. The report will be
made public late this afternoon and

store buy goods from the Kan
sas City store the same as
they would from any whole
sale concern. If the Kansas
City store cannot fill the order,
it is given to some wholesale
house that has the goods.
So you see how important it
is that the buying organization
in this Topeka store be sepa-
rate from that of the Kansas
City store.
The manager-buyers of this
Topeka store are residents of
Topeka. They live among the
people who are customers of
this store. Being one of these
people, they know just the
merchandise needed to fill
their wants.
