FIX RAILROAD ASSESSMENT.
Board to Meet Tomorrow-What VIII
Mr.. Burrow Do?

Tuesday the state board of railroad
assessors will meet in the office Of the
state auditor, and Will probably be IN
session for two days, fixing the railroad
assessments for the current year.
1t remains to be seen what position
J. r. Burrow. secretary OF state. will
take in the matter Mr.. BurFow has
always been counted on as a friend Of
the railroads. and has apparently
acquiesced in the previous actions of
the board But at the time of the civic
league caucus at the state convention
he made a speech in which he declared
himself in favor of raising valuations
on railroads, and admitted that he did
not think the board would be willing
to make any increase.
Both the friends and enemies of Mr.
Burrow are waiting to see what he
will do. His friends say that he ought
to be given full credit for breaking
away from old political associates and
declaring himself as opposed to old
methods of railroad favoritism, and his
enemies hint that Mr.. Burrow ought
to explain why he submitted to the
basis of assessment adopted during the
past three years.

about the only thing which kept him
from being recognized as a human be-
ing, for there was little that trans
PRED which he did moi seem to IN
derstanc.
At the noon hour he could be found
at one of the entrances or at the. cigar
counter where he greeted each friend
who came in with a Wag OF his tail
and an expression of his eyes which
n Chilly nearly spoke the words Of well
come which he tried to convey. He
had no enemies among the human race
and dogdorn seemed to look upon him
as the grand old mari OF that tribe.
He was never heard to utter a harsh
grOwl, never had an enemy, not even
a cat and shad a disposition which it is
a. pity that he could not have held
as a heritage to a majority of the men
who now boast of his friendship.

It will be noticed that since the agita-

favorably to some Of the banks which
did not carry so large a deposit of the
city's funds.

Familiar Dog at Cremerie Restaurant

Gyp is dead. Gyp wasn't anybody,
just a plain black dog without a claim

There are no papers who proclaim his
ancestory Of noble breed. no medals
or ribbons won at the bench shows of
aristocratic dogdom. Just a plain black
dog with enough Of the cocker spaniel

Most every one who has ever had an
occasion to eat a meal at the Cremerie
restaurant knew Gyp. who he was, all
about his good traits and nothing of
bad ones, for he had none. His rec
ord as dog is one that might be
envied by a majority of men. For ten
years he has been a constant compan-

Scott, and every day Of these ten years
he has found his way to the restaurant
at meal times to greet the patrons who
were all his friends. He couldn't talk,
which was not his fault, and that was

CAUGHT IN COLORADO.
Earl Newberry, Who Is Wanted for
Burglary at Maple HILL

A dispatch from Colorado Springs in
reference to Earl Newberry, who re-

wife of the pastor of the First Chris

with thimble which he said he had

NAY, stand back and give place to

round the waist he slung him into the
dock.
There was cry of anger from the crowd,
for Badding was the hero of all the Cirque
Ports and had never yet met his match
in manhood. The epitaph still fingers
in which it was said that he could never
rest until he had foughten his fill. When,
therefore, swimming like duck, he
reached rope and pulled himself hand
aghast to see what fell fate would befa1l
this bold stranger. But Badding laughed
loudly, dashing the saltwater from his
eyes and hair.
"You have fairly won your place,

Already the head-sai1s and the mainsail
had been raised, while hundred willing
hands poled her off from the wharf. Now
the wind caught her heeling over, and
quivering with eagerness like an unleashed
hound she flew through the opening
and out into the Channel. She was a
famous little schooner, the Marie Rose
of Winchelsea, and under her daring
owner Cock Badding, half trader and half
pirate, had brought back into port
many rich cargo taken in mid Channel,
and paid for in blood rather than money.
Small as she was. her great speed and the
fierce character of her master had made
her name of terror along the French
coast, and many bulky Eastlander or
Fleming as he passed the narrow seas
had scanned the distant Kentish shore,
fearing lest that ill-omened purple sail
with a gold christopher upon it should
shoot out suddenly from the dim gray
cliffs. Now she was clear of the land,
with the wind on her 1arboard quarter,
every inch of canvas set, and her high
sharp bows smothered in foam, as she
dug through the waves.
Cock Badding trod the deck with
head erect and jaunty bearing, glancing
up at the swelling sails and then ahead
at the little tilted white triangle, which
stood out clear and hard against the
bright blue sky. Behind was the lowland
of the Gambler marshes, with the bluffs
of Rye and Winchelsea, and the line of
cliffs behind them. On the larboard
bow rose the great white walls of Folke-
