The county commissioners at their
meeting last week raised the assess.
ment returns of a good many taxpay-
ers. They talked the matter over and
concluded that the COW men had not
shipped many cattle the past year.and
had not met with any losses, and so
they ought to be about as rich as they
were a year ago. Many of them, 10.
Guiding the chairman OF the board,
put 10 a lower return than they we're
taxed on last year, but all these re-
turns were raised. In the matter Of
patented mining claims the board fol-
lowed the instructions of the terri
torial board of equalization, and rails
ed The assessment to $40 per acre. The
territorial board of equalization is
strictly prohibited by law from putt
ing a valuation on such property, but
utterly regardless OF the law, and in
violation of its provisions did put a
value or patented claims, and the
commissioners thought they had to
obey the Illegal instructions OF the ter
ritorlal board, and did so. The official
copy OF the proceedings has not yet APP
peared, and so the LIBERAL is not 10
position to give all the raises that the
people in this end OF the county are
interested in.

Everything is now quiet at Cananea,
and no further trouble is expected.
The Mexican government got a good
scare out OF the strike or revolution,
for it is hard to decide which it was,
and will pay closer attention to the
camp, and will be prepared for such
troubles in the future, and the eve
lutionists will never get such a start
again. For a time the people at Can
anea had all the advantages of being
at war, especially the censor. Many of
the newspaper men could telegraph
nothing out OF Oananea, and the lore
sensational papers were barred out Of
the camp. The people were not used
to this Japanese way Of doing business,
but had to take their medicine, and
for a few days do without their favor
tie papers. No further trouble is an
ticipated. Captain RynnIng went to
Phoenix and explained to the governor
that the Arizona forces did not invade
Mexico, but that a lot of men, of
whom he was one, found themselves
across the line at Naco, and that Gov
ernor Ysabal invited them to go to
Cananea, and after they had been
there a few hours everything was so
quiet that they went home. and Gov.
Kibbey forgave the gallant commander
of the rangers.

We'll Appointed College.

Under one roof the teachers and
students of Cox College and Conser-
vatory, at College Park, Ca, live
and carry on their work. The i'm
mense building is thoroughly well APP
pointed and fitted with steam heat,
electric lights, toilets and baths on
every floor, and the four floors are
connected by three stairways, besides
a safe and commodiouS elevator. The
students are constantly under the
watchful care of teachers, who seek to
exert an encouraging, inspiring and
helpful influence over them. In no
institution in the south is more care
full attention paid to all the details of
the home life as we'll as the college
work.

SABLE PROPHET SCARED THEM.

A negro preacher, who claims TO
be prophet, gave the city of Mad
lson, Wis, bad fright a few days
ago. He declared that because of the
wickedness of Madison the two lakes
Mendoza and MonOna would rise and
engulf the city on a certain date: I'm.
mediately there began an exodus OF
frightened people. The railroads had
to nut on extra trains to accommodate
she fugltives. and many families took
refuge on households so as to be able
70 float on top of the expected food.
The white preachers, the college pro
fessors and the newspapers tried to
quiet the fears of the superstitious
people, but they were unsuccessful;
When the date for the food had
passed the refugees began to re-
turn to their homes.

RECORDS BROKEN IN GIVING
The Last Session of Congress Made
Appropriations Amounting to
Nearly $9OO,OOO,OOO.

When the national house of repre-
sentatives met on the eve of adjourn
ment Representative Tawney, chair
man of the appropriations committee,
told about the expenses of the govern
ment for the hscal year which began
July /. He said that the total APP
preparations including those carried
in the regular appropriation acts, all
deficiencies, miscellaneous matters and
permanent annual appropriations ag-
gregate $3.50, 1873, 30l.32. This is an
apparent increase of 100000 600 over
the appropriation made at the last
session. This apparent excess, he
said, was more than accounted for in
the three following items:
Tsthmian canal $42, AT, 600; under
the statehood bill $40, $50. 900: toward
the construction of new buildings au-
thorized at this session $40, 32I, 900,
making a total of $63, 0lS, 600.
Extra Appropriation.
Other notable items were So, 900, 600
in the agricultural bill for the inspec-
ton of meat products and $40, 800, 900
on account of the postal service.
1.-The sums mentioned amount to
more than $l36, 100000, and when de-
Quoted leave apparent appropriations
of only Sal, 900, 600 to be met out of
the revenues of the next fiscal year, :"
he said. I'm my judgment the ordi-
nary revenues of the government for
the next fiscal year viii amount to at
least 5000, 100000 The postal reve-
nues are estimated at 1851, 573, 900 for
1907, making the total apparent re-
sources of the government next year
not less the 1872, 572, OOO, or at least
$50, 600, 600 of appropriations that may
be charged against them"
Most Expensive of Governments.
Representative Livingston, OF Geor-
gia, ranking democratic member OF
the appropriations committee, follow

States government is the most expen-
sive in the world, owing to its army
and navy establishments.

OLDEST BODY OF HUMAN BEING
Found Buried in Grave followed
Out of Sandstone in Egypt.

Out of Sandstone in Egypt.
The Oldest body of any human be-
ing now reposes in the Egyptian gal
lery of the British museum. 1t is the
body of man who was buried in a
shallow grave followed out of the
sandstone of the west bank of the
Nile in upper Egypt.
This man must have hunted along
the banks of the Nile before the time of
the earliest mummied king which the
museum possesses-befOre the time Of
Menes, who was supposed to have
ruled Egypt at least 5000 B. G. There
were presious to that time two pre-
historic races, one the cOnquerors
and the other the conquered, from
which sprang the Egyptian race of
the earliest dynasties.
1t is with these remote stocks that
this man has to do. Considering the
condition in which he was found it is
evident, says the American Antigua
rian, that he was associated with a
late period of the new stone age of
Egvnt. He was buried in a charac-
teristic noelitic grave, with his nOeli-
thic grave, pots and instruments of
flint about him. There is, of course,
no inscription of any kind on the
pots, knives or grave.

His highness was pleased to be gra-
cious. She showed me the jewels
which she had brought in big iron
box, and told me that she wondered
how French women could dress so
much. "It is beautiful" she said,
"but cannot be comfortable. "
Her own costume is a cheap, ready
made, dressing jacket, with immita-

nothing above the waist-men's boots
and the inevitable sampot. The other
