An Address from Leflore.

Greenwood, Miss, July 19.-At
a meeting of a few of Gov. Varda-
mans friends, held last night at
the law office of Gen. Monroe Nc
Clurg, the following address to the
voters of the State was promul-
gated
To the Democratic voters Of Mis-
sissippi:
Lefiore county sends you a cor
dial greeting in behalf of the can
didacy of her favorite son, Gov.
James X. Nardaman, for the
United States Senate.
This, his home county, will give
him a solid vote, not simply because
Of local pride, nor because he has
made one of the fairest and best
Governors the State has ever had
but because he stands for white
supremacy and a white mans rule
in all Of the United States. I will
try, he said, to secure the repeal
of the war-bOrn, negrO-voting fif-
teenth amendment He will do
what he can to place the govern
ment Of this country into the hands
Of the great mass of tax-paying,
law-abiding, iberty-loving white
people, wherever they may live.
Whether it may be the Chinese or
japanese problem on the Pacific
slope, or the Italian, or the negro
problem in the South, or the immi-
grafton problem in the East, he will
stand for the right and power of the
Anglo-Saxon to control state and
national government.
We have found him strong and
strenuous by personal example, by
individual character, by pen and
voice, on the right side Of every
moral question,
We believe that he will follow
the voice Of the Democracy of Mis-
sissippi as expressed in her cOnsti-
tutional convention of 1890, praying
the Congress Of the United States to
repeal the fifteenth amendment and
requesting our members in Congress
to work to that end. We think
that he will not care for the ap-
plause of North or South unless it
be applause for standing for truth
and right, and for trying to Sc
curely deliver the reins of the gov
eminent over to the white man
everywhere. ---~v--~--s lzl& s.--.
We most cordially indorse his
candidacy and commend him to our
fellow Democrats of the State.
MONROE M'CLURG, Chairman.

All of the candidates known to
be in the field for the several State
and State district offices are on the
tickets for the primary election next
Thursday. 1t was predicted in
some quarters that not all the as
pirants for Governor would run
through, but they are all present,
assessments paid and are properly
entered on the ballots. AS to the
county, all who were announced in
the papers are on the ticket, besides
few for such offices as justice and
constable who had not been in the
public prints but paid the required
assessments and entered at the last
day.

by the voter taking up one of the
county papers and making his

mined upon the candidates who
will receive his support, so that the

trunk line from the Memphis gate

to a deep water port on the Gulf at

on that line or left a few miles to

Mock Marriage May Stick.

Cripple Creek.-Among the gay
party of tourists from New York and
Philadelphia which made hasty trip
around the district were pretty
young woman and a firm-visaged col
lege man. with grave, puzzled faces,
who are wondering, Are we really
married, or Is it all joker"
The perplexing question relates to a
supposedly mock marriage ceremony
performed on the train by a minister
in the party.
To relieve the monotony of train
riding between stops many stunts
were introduced. and tie minister sug-
gested a make-believe wedding. How
ard Mullin of New York, a student at
Syracuse University, and Airline Hou-
ten, demure maid from the Quaker
City, were chosen to fill the leading
roles.
Although abashed at first, they
yielded to the pleadings of their
friends and the ceremony was per-
formed in the observation car Of the
special train then winding it's way
among the Rockies. The compact was
sealed with a silver napkin-ring in lieu
of the plain gold band.
The event was passed over lightly
until 1t came to the ears of man pro-
Tossing to know something of law.
Whether merely to enhance the joke,
or In earnest, he declared that they
were legally man and wife. This ter
rified the couple in spite of laughing
assurances that they were being
"joshed." Both said that only compe-
tent legal advice would quell their
fears. They haven't as yet found a
lawyer.
It is whispered about in the party
that the mock marriage may turn out
to be a rehearsal of a real wedding
which will take place when the time
is ripe. The pair have been very
chummy since they first met. a month
ago. when they set out on a long jour
ney over the United States.

Aaltator In Arrested.

Trinidad. Colo.-Members Of the
Brotherhood OF Railway Trainmep
caused the arrest of Daniel Kyle, ar
operator who claimed to be a member
Of the organization. Kyle endeavored
to arouse the strikers here to violence
by word and action. He was arraigne6
in police court and fined SIS on the
charge Of vagrancy and given orders
to leave town.
Members OF the trainmen's organixa
tion believe that Kyle is a member o,
the Pinkertons and has been sent here
with view OF placing the organize
tion In a bad light. The action on the
part OF the union men In causing the
arrest OF Kyle IL in accordance with
their promises at the time the strike
was ordered that they would tolerate
no violence or lawlessness on the part
Of the strikers.
The strike situation Ia practically
unchanged. Passenger trains are only
few minutes behind time and some
freight is moving. The local officials
are still helping In the yards. and Mex-
leans have been secured to act a.
brakemen on the coke trains. A few
passenger brakemen are reported to
have quit. but the majority are still at
their posts, as they are not affected BY
the strike order. Excellent discipline

and no disorder OF any sort has oc-

EouAL,z,Ne STATE TAXATION.
Assessors in Session Take Action on
Important Matters.

AeseeSoro IN session rake Action on
Important Matters.
Denver-Homes in Colorado are to
be assessed at 100 per cent. of their
value, while railroads escape with as
sessment on only twenty-five per cent.
This declaration was made at the con-
vention of state assessors now meet
ing at the capitol. F. F. Schneider led
the fight for an equalization of taxes
throughout the counties, SO that homes
and railroads will share the burden
equally. He finally succeeded in hav-
ing appointed committee on legisla-
ton, composed of five assessors and
one honorary member. The commit
tee is composed Of F. D. Foster, Tel
Ter; 8. H. Stevens, Las Animas; c. s..
Link, Park: H. E. Howe, Boulder, and
]. A. Newcomb, Jefferson. ]. B. Phil
lips, professor Of economics at the
University of Colorado, was made an
honorary member. A motion was
passed providing that this committee
present to the next convention of as
SCISSORS laws providing for uniform
schedule taxation in all counties of the
state.
This is one of the biggest steps for
ward that has ever been taken, and
means that the owners of small homes
and little property may not have to
bear the largest part of the burden Of
taxation. 1t means that cattle will
not be assessed at $500 a head In one
county and $500 head in the next.
1t is expected that the present made
quate laws on assessments will be re-
pealed at the next session of the Legis-
lature, and that the new ones drafted
by the committee appointed will be
substituted.
A large number of the assessors
have filed abstracts of assessment with
the state auditor. These show an In
crease in the agricultural interests OF
the state and slight decrease in the
value of its mining resources. There
is a decided increase in values over
last year. The State Board Of Equali-
cation has increased the valuation OF
corporate interests $2,000.000. The
abstracts of assessments made by the
various counties are as follows:
Arapahoe, $12S.164; Archuleta, $107.-
329; Boulder. $22O.140; Cheyenne,
$565, 5,761; Delta, $2OS.925; Garfield
S1O6, 1856; Logan. 292, ,925; Montezuma
1855, ,O74; Morgan, $567 ,O09; San Mi
guel, $4S2,194 All of these counties
have large agricultural interests and
show a great increase in values, ow-
ing to the large dry farms that are
being reclaimed from desert. The
counties that show decrease are
mining counties. Among them are Do
lores, $37.SSS; .Gilpin. 6,400;. Ouray,
$915,900; Teller, $1,6O9. .7O9.

A Generous Thief.

Trinidad. Colo.-While the master OF
the house was away herding his sheep
and the family was attending a fu-
neral. the home Of Francisco Bigil was
broken into and $3.50 in greenbacks car
ried away.
A singular feature OF the robbery is
that the thief took only the amount
named from roll Of bills containing
$4,000. which was hidden in a trunk.
The chief Of police here was noti-
fed and a search was instituted.
Bloodhounds were taken to the house
and the dogs took up the scent at once
and went directly to the home Of n
relative of Bigil. Suspicion lodges on
a woman, but no arrests have been
made.
