RELATIVE DIED.
Nephew of Joseph Yates Passes
Away.

The Bonneville (Ark Demo-
crat of August 3Ist contains a
notice of the death of Edward
w. Yates, a nephew of Joseph
Yates, of this city. The deceas-
ed gentleman was evidently a
man among men and on account
of the prominence OF the family
in this community we reprint the
following:
Sunday morning, August Fl,
at 10 minutes past II O'Clock,
the spirit of Edward Washburne
Yates, left its mortal tenement
and returned to the spirit land
from whence it came.
One of the saddest duties that
has ever fallen to our lot as a
newspaper man is to announce
the death and attempt to pay a
last tribute to the worth of a well
beloved friend.
We have known Mr.. Yates for
.2o years and have always loved
and admired him for his many
noble traits of character. In his
private life he was clean and true
in every sense of the words. Ir
public affairs he was energetic

COUNTY VALUES.
Assessor Davis Turns 1005-Roll
Over to Clerk.

County Asses or Thomas Davis has
just turned over to Clerk Moses the
assessment roll for Benton county for
1905. 1t vii. remain in the hands of the
clerk until the October term of court
when the county commissioners will
pass upon it. To many this is matter
of great importance ana interest. For
instance, according to Assessor Davis,
the total value OF all property in the
county is $4.970,8o0. He finds ex-
emptions in the sum of $227,8l5. This
leaves property subject to taxation with
in the county in the sum. of $4.742,985.
This is a slight raise over assessments
of former years and it is better So 1t is
the part of wisdom to have property
assessed at something near its real value.
1t only takes 80 much money for the
regular yearly expenses of the cou afy
and if the valuation is placed about
where it belongs the rate of taxation is
cut down. In other words, if property
is assessed at only one-third the real
value the tax levy to meet the annual
expense of the county must be raised to
three times the figure it would appear to
be if assessed at real value. The same
sum has to be raised on the property
within the county no matter what the
valuation is placed at in making the
assessment.
l; the valuation is high the tax rate is
low, and this is far better as it does not
strike terror to the hearts of home
seekers who chance along and get the
wrong impression regarding the matter.
Many other assessors within the state
are doing as Mr.. Davis has done in rails
ing the valuation. We submit the fol-
lowing table on county property and
values and suggest that our readers cut
it out and paste it in some conspicuous
place:

The Opera of Martha.

Speaking of the Opera "Martha 5"
put on by the students of Mt. Carmel,
Wichita, in which Miss Irene
Hooper of this city played the leading
part, the Catholic Advance says:
The modest inconsistencies of
their really meritorious work, which
they displayed, made it all the more
enchanting. All were equally interes
ted in the success of the play and
equally eager to perform well their
part, however humble it might be.
The success of each one was the JOY
of all the others, fact that speaks
volumes for the sweet spirit of affec-
ton and good wishes for each other
that prevails in their midst. 1t was the
splendid illumination produced by a
galaxy of stars.

there will be witnessed anywhere an

FRANK DELL. ST., DEAD.
Expires While Seated at The Dinner
Table at His Home.

While seated at the dinner table on
Monday, Frank Dell, one of the
early settlers of this county, suddenly
passed away. He had been IN his
usual health. and was up town just
before noon. While eating he COM
planned of feeling as though he was
going to have an attack of neuralgia,
and in few moments he wasa corpse.
His wife and two of the children,
Nettie and Edwin, were at home at
the time, but Frank Jr., was on his
way to Larned.
Frank was little past 63 years of
age, having been born in Germany,
but coming to the United States short
ly before the war. At the opening of
hostilities he enlisted in Yew York
Co. F. 10th regiment the regiment of
which Gen. SickIes went out as colonel.

ing leg at the battle of Cold Harbor.
After recovering from the wound, he
became the sutler ::for the 9Th Ohio

the end of the war, at which
time he had gathered large fortune.
He then tried his hand at the barber.

WHERE THE COTTON CAME FROM
Government Bulletin Shows Also
THROUGH What Ports It Went,

Through What Ports II Went.
The three leading states in the
production of cotton during the calen-
dar years 1902, 1903, 1904. according
to q government bulletin, were Texas,
Mississippi and Georgia. In 1904 near
ly one-fourth of the cotton crop Of the
United States was produced in Texas,
and more than one half in Texas, Mis-
sissippi and Georgia. The crop of
Alabama in 1904 was about 160, 1000, 900
pounds less than that of Mississippi; ;
150,000000 more than that of South
Carolina, and 1S0,000,OOO pounds more
than that of Louisiana New Orleans,
Galveston and Savannah shipped three
fourths Of all the cotton exported from
the United States during the year 1904
North Carolina and Virginia cotton
is marketed chiefly at Norfolk, Will
mington and Charleston Memphis re-
ceives the larger part of the Tennessee
crop. Arkansas cotton goes chiefly
to st. Louis, while Galveston receives
in addition to the crop of the home
state, considerable quantities from the
Indian Territory and Oklahoma.
New Orleans, Galveston and Savan-
nah were the leading points of concen-
tration of cotton for the three crop
years ending with 1903 and 1904. Each
of the interior concentrating points,
Memphis and st. Louis, during this
time, received between 100000 and
100000 commercial bales, while the
Atlantic ports of Wilmington, Norfolk
an: Charleston each received 100000
and 100000 commercial bales for ex-
port.
