TEN FORTUNES.

To-day it is computed that there
are in the United States no fewer
than seventy estates that average
in value $35, 900, 900 each. There
are ten private fortunes aggregating
s., 900, 900, 900, those of John ID.
Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie.
Marshall Field, w. X. Vanderbilt,
John Jacob Astor, J. =. Morgan,
Russell Sage, J. J. Hill, Senator
w. A. Clark, and VIM. Rockefeller.
There are 400 fortunes aggregating
So, 600, 900, 900, and 4 800 aggregat-
ing $4,000, 900, 900. Five thous-
and men in this country, whose ag-
gregate wealth is estimated at $16,- =
600, 900, 900, actually own, to say
nothing of how much they control,
nearly one-sixth of our entire ma
tional wealth in money, land, mines,
buildings, industries, franchises
and everything else of value; which
sixth, if put into gold, would give
them all of the yellow metal above
ground in the world and leave more
than $4,000, 100000 still owing
them.

SELLS-FLOTO SHOWS.
WATER PROOF TENTS-RAIN Wllhi
NOT SPOIL THE EXHIBITION. r.

A sudden downpour of rain or =
long continued drizzle will have no
effect on the patrons of the great
Sells Floto Shows when it exhibits
here. The reason of this will be-
apparent to everyone who sees the,
huge tents that will be erected here
for the performance. They are all
constructed of "mercerized' duck
ing. This marvellous invention
for the waterproofing of material
has been in use for rain coats, but
up to this year has never been used
for tents. People who have used
"mercerized" cloth know how it
sheds water, and it was the know
ledge of this that caused the Sells
FIoto shows to have al their tents
made out of this material. 1t is
quite n stride in advance of other
shows, but is only in keeping with
the progressiveness of the manage
ment of these shows. Beneath
these tents spectators can sit in
comfort and ease during the heav-
lest of rains and be as dry as if in
the finest theater in the country.
This is only one of the many nov
elites that have been added to these
shows this season.
1t is respectfully suggested the
children attend the afternoon,
whore ample time is given to view
the large menagerie, likewise
avoiding the night crowds. Unis
formed ushers will attend every
want of the little folks and the care
aud attention paid to ladies' and
children is the first consideration
Df the management,
The only big circus that will visit
here this year is the Sells-Floto
Shows, and this date is New iberia,
April 10th, 1906.

We have seen that the total as
sessment of the State has more than
doubled since the present six mills
rate was fixed. The income of the
State from the State tax is now an
nually more than double what it
was in 1879 when the rate was es-
tablished. But the rate of State
taxation has not been reduced pen
ny. II is still six mills, just the
same that it was when the total as
sessment of the State was $l77, ,000,-
600 instead of nearly $400, 900, 900
as in was last year. What encour-
agement have the people to hope for
q reduction of the rate9 More than
doubling the assessments has not
brought any reduction IN the rate.
How much must we increase to Sc
cure some reduction of the rata9
Will the Legislature not continue
to find a use for all the money in
stead of reducing the rate' The
assessment has been climbing up
for years past, and is now more
than double what it was when the
six mills rate was fixed. Is it not
time that there was something do
