A Rare Opportunity.

Undohbtedly the best entertainment of
its nature that has ever been given ir
St. Johnsbury, is booked for Music Hall
Thursday evening and is the Royal
Gypsy Concert Company, the opening
number of the lecture course.
This company comprises eight young
ladies, all remarkably good singers,
whose esemble and double quartet work
is above criticism. They possess win
some and captivating manner, and
besides their solo and double quartet
work, they are decidedly clever in their
use of the mandolin, guitar, castanets
and tambourines.
The entire entertainment is given in
special costumes suited to the various
selections, and the entire second part of
the program is given in beautiful gypsy
costumes Of a great variety and richness
of color.
Walter Eccles is with the company as
humorist and there is not dull moment
when he is on the stage. He also sings,
and appears with the young ladies in
several selections from the operas Toy
land" and San Toy. Remember the date,
Thursday evening, Nov. IA. The CON
cert will commence promptly at 8
o'clock.

one of a family of nine children. The fol-
lowing survive him: Joseph, George, Ada

spected, having many patrons, with
whom be dealt uprightly and fairly. He
moved to Boston last spring and bought
a lodging house, where he and his son
have since been engaged in this business.
Mr. Gagner had many friends here and

JefferSOn'S Grip Van Wrinkle"

A small but appreciative audience
gathered at Music Hall Friday evening
to witness the Interpretation of Joseph
Jeferson's "Trip Van Wrinkle" by George
Kiernan of Philadelphia. For over two
hours the audience were highly enter
tanned by an impersonation which
closely followed the ideals of Americas s
best beloved actor. Mr. Herman gave
practically the whole play and proved
to be one of the best impersonators that
ever visited St. Johnsbury. The enter
tainment was given for the benefit of
Sunset Home and this worthy institution
as well as the high art of Mr.. Herman
deserved much larger audience. We
hope to hear Mr.. Herman here at later
date and that he will be greeted by a
larger audience at his second appearance.

The following comparison of the
way two governors stand on the
gambling evil was made by the Den
yer News on Sunday and is a pretty
interesting comparison too:
Governor Hanly of Indiana.
BY profession, lawyer.
Politics. Republican.
Deals with gambling as with other
forms of law-breaking.
Refuses to heed the demand OF
the fraternity for wlde-open
state.
Willing to call out militia to en-
force the law.
Drives out Chicago gamblers, who
have established Monte Carlo at
Hammond, Ind.
Refuses to be awed by the threats
of politicians or the fear of losing
the vote of the tough element II he
interferes with gambling.
Governor Buchtel, of Colorado.
By profession, minister of the gos-
pei
Politics. Republican.
Deals with gambling as though it
were a legalized calling
Refuses to heed the demand of the
people to stamp out the evil.
Spurns advice of Christian citizens
and sneeringly refers to his advisers
as boys and girls"
Declines to interfere with den
of vice located across the street from
the church In which he was ordain-
ed chancellor of a university and
where he was later inaugurated as

WE MUST PAY MORE TAXES.
Mesa County Assessor rs Well as All
Others in State Notified That
State Needs More Money.

More money will be needed by the
state to meet the appropriations made
by the recent legislature for the bi-
ennial period. and the state board
of equilazation on Saturday agreed
upon and adopted a letter to be sent
to all the county assessors. which will
jog them to a relization OF their
duty. also TO the Importance of In
creasing the assessable valuation
of properties of all kinds, so to yield
the state a Ian ger revenue.
This means that Mesa county must
dig up more money for the state this
year than she has been doing the past
and everybody will agree that the
drain along this line has been about
as stiff as It should be for good
long time.
The letter was prepared by At
torney General Dickson, and 1t says:
ut appears from the records of the
board Of equalization that assess
ments of property in the various
counties vary from 13 to 81 per cent
of its full cash value. We are send
ing this letter to all county assessors
in the hope of securing some more
marked uniformity In the method OF
fixing assessments.
The statute is here cited, providing
that "nll taxable property shall be
listed and valued each year. and shall
be assessed at its full cash value;
land to be assessed and valued sep
arate and apart from the personal
property and improvements thereon
Attention is then called to another
section of the 1902 revenue law,
which prescribes bonds of the asses
sors for the faithful performance of
their duties and which makes them
and their sureties liable, If such as
SCISSORS fail to do their duty and
thereby cause the state to suffer loss
in taxes by low assessments on tax
able property.
"If It Is borne in mind that the in
crease in taxes would be merely NOM
lnal If the law was strictly followed,
there. perhaps. would be little DIFF
ficulty in arriving at a fair and equit-
able value of property in this state,
says the letter.
IF the property is assessed at the
full cash value the levy made by the
county commissioners would be pro-
portlonately lower, as no more money |
need be raised for county purposes
than has formerly been used"
