TAX FIGURES
SHOW BIG GAIN
S5O,OOO,OOO INCREASE OVER
LAST YEAR
Franchises Are Assessed at Practically
$2o,ooo,ooo More Than Figures
for 1eo6-Ben Ward Makes
Statement

In the grand total of tax valuations
submitted to the board Of supervisors yes7
terday by County Assessor Ward there Is
shown an increase of more than S50, ,000, 600
over last years figures.
The new total is $3.50 ,331, ,616 and includes
all property subject to assessment in the
county. On real estate alone there is an
item of s202, 1892 Improvements are
property there is S69, ,042, ,331. Taxable
money on deposit in banks completes the
whole, with $SS1.260
Speaking of the increase yesterday
Assessor Ward said:
I'm certain sections of the city and
county the valuations were raised in order
that they might be equal with other parts
assessed too low. OF the $50, 100000 about
$1S, 1000 is represented in new improve
ments, and at least 200 is in the
franchise item alone. AS far as this item
is concerned it is entirely new assess
ment.
"The best efforts of the office have been
put forth to get the franchise assessment
on the books in such a way that the cor
porations will have no just ground 10
make contest. and in my opinion no
reductions should be made unless it is
error"
The supervisors are confident that the
public is satisfied, for there has been very
little complaint. In all only 154 state
ments objecting to the lists have been
filed, and four-tifths of these are charge
able to clerical errors In some instances
it is almost impossible to get an accurate
valuation of property, and in these cases
compromise is always effected.

HARRY LA ROSE HAS A
CLEVER NEW STUNT
ON AT THE EMPIRE

Harry La Rose e. Co. are offering this
week at the Empire theater the highest
priced vaudeville act ever presented at
the popular playhouse since 1t opened
here. 1t is characterized by good acting. is
replete with wit and humor and Is de-
cidedly quaint and far different from their
usual run of acts.
The scene of the play is at a county
fair, along the Erie canal. A number of
show fronts are shown, while sideshow
man, played by Charles II. Crosby, is
bowling forth the fine points of the shows
inside The sideshow man Is broke, and
as Tom Bowline a sailor. appears on the
scene flashing roll of $1100, he at once
commences operations to secure the wad.
The upshot of the affair Is that the sailor
parts with $1,000 of the roll In return for
an ancient specimen of the equine family
which the sideshow man possess. The
horse is represented to be a racer, and
Bowline, with the assistance of some
magic drops, rides the horse to victory
and to profit, as he had placed 500 on the
horse at 400 to l. After the race Bowline
appears astride the horse scattering the
money he has won in every direction. The
part of Bowline the sailor Is cleverly acted
by Harry La Rose himself. Fatima,. a
Turkish American dancer, is taken by
Jennie Coulson, who plays her part well.
The act is full of vim from start to finish,
there being not a dull moment during Its
presenta ton. The other acts are up TO
their usual standard.

GUN PLAY THE BIG
FEATURE OF THE
GRAND'S LURID PLAY

The Grand has its Fourth of July
this week, and the celebration is
scheduled for repetition every evening
as well as couple of afternoons.
1t lad to ne. Manager Tom Baker
has been sa-'ing up the blank cartridges
that have been left out of recent plays
at the Grand and is having one huge
blowout. When the Ulrichers get all
that noise worked out of their systems
they will probably give another play.
Which is saying by inference that
$4,000 Reward is not a play. Nor
is it anything else in any recognized
line of dramatic effort. But it's a
corker, just the same. It's the real
panama. There are fourteen scenes
or spasms-each more lurid than its
predecessor, and they are scattered all
over the known and unknown globe
and parts of the heavens. New Or
leans, Carthagena, Bolivia, are in sue
cession the first three points. 1t skips
half way around the globe and back
in the space of two hours and a half,
so, of course, only the high places are
touched.
Charlie Gum is it-more so than
usual. And after him there is a fast
bunch of seconds. The rest are just
the others. They also run. Four come
in at the finish-Marie Dunkle, who
place lOT d
week or two; Charles Caulkins, who
is doing a mesmerizing stunt with a
glass ball or burned-out incandescent
lamp globe, in which he makes the
heroine see things; Harrington ].
Wheeler (please shorten your name,
dear boy), who is a bold bad South
American revolutionist out for the coin,
and Papa Gray, otherwise Leslie King.
Papa Gray was very fooli;h to allow
Miss Marion (Marie Dunkle) to wear
that great ruby which he had stolen
from the E-indoo temple, for if he had
read Wil<ie Collins or met Frank
Daniels he would have known that
black priest was waiting
just round the corner for tie heart
of fire" and the unfortunate wearer
But afterthought never took the place
of forethoIght, and it cost him ten
thousand cool to get back his daughter
and his ruby. Then he gave both of
them to Charlie Gum to take care of.
When the Hindoo magician in the
black beard captured the girl he took
her to Carthagena and thence to India
by way of Bolivia and everywhere
