Abba, April 25.-A wholesale theft of
mules has come to light here. Twenty
bank mules, valued at $4,000, have been
stolen from the Consolidation Coal
Company at Buxton. The theft oc-
CURED -four weeks ago, just after the
mules had been brought from the pit
and placed in pasture to await the
resumption of work in the mines. For
several days no attention was given
them, and when parties did go to the
field they found the mules missing. A
search was made for them, and up to
this week no trace of the animals
could be found. This week, however,
seven of the mules have been located.
Four were at Lovilla, where they had
been sold, and three others were at
Buxton, where they had changed own
ership. Teamster Davidson Is said to
have had charge of the animals and
the sale of them has been traced to
him. What has become of the rest of
the mules is still a mystery, and the
search is being continued for them.
Davidson was in Buxton up to the
first Of this week, but now that the
officers want him he has disappeared.

BE Tried Over Again.

Nevada, April 25.-After deliberat-
ing for seventeen hours upon the case
of L. c. Stebbins, the ex-janitor at
Iowa State College, who was tried in
district court here upon charge Of
sodomy, the jury returned into open
court, announced that they were UNI
able to reach an agreement. and were
discharged. Because Of the fact that
practically all of the witnesses that he
might place upon the stand would be
accessories to the crime, County At

the proper corroborative evidence to
warrant strong case and convic-
ton. 1t is thought that the man will
be tried over again, and in the mean

tor of Belle PLANE, and S. w. W.
Straight, mayor of Atlantic All OF
these men pledge their unqualified and
enthusiastic support to the principle
Of terminal taxation, and express
themselves as heartily in sympathy
with the campaign undertaken by the
Council Bluffs Commercial club. Sec
rotary Reed says in part, in the letters
sent out:
81 assume in advance, that you are
thoroughly familiar with the fact that
under the law, the entire property o.
each railway in this state is valued
and this total valuation divided by the
number of miles of main line mileage
per mile Each political subdivision,
in assessing the property of such rail-
road within it's limits. must make such
assessment by multiplying this value
per mile by the number of miles OF
main line mileage of the railway within
it's limits. Thus the cities of the
state, in which are situated valuable
terminals, yards and other railroad
property, cannot assess such properly
for taxation. but are limited to an as
sessment fixed by multiplying the val
uation per mile by the number of main
line mileage within the city. BY this
method, a city having one mile OF
main line mileage with terminal prop
critics of the value of $100.OOO.OO0 is
placed on the same basis for taxing
purposes as a country township nav
ing one mile of main mileage worth
O,OOO These extensive terminal
properties of the railroads are great
expense to the cities and towns, re-
curing extended police and fire protec-
ton, and, in many instances. occupying
large tracts of territory that would
otherwise be subject to fair valua-
ton and assessment for taxation pur-
poses.
I'm the Judgment Of our Commercial
club, the time has now arrived when
it is vital to the life and prosperity OF
the various cities and towns of the
state, that a more equitable method OF
assessment for taxation be obtained.
In order that this may be accomplished,
it will be necessary that each town
and city of this state. which is being
deprived of its legitimate revenues by
this unfair method of valuation, CO,
operate with the other cities and towns

to the poor quality of milling oats

About 200 people are affected by the

soon be past and the busy wheels be
