there. Il
Some of the witnesses could not

DIAMONDS [ ARE CHEAP
. IN CAPITAL CITY
RETURNS OF ASSESSORS SHOW
:. vAULE OF Fifteen DOL
-. LARS EACH.
Assessed Valuation Nearly Double
=: That Of One Year Aoo-Board In
Session for Ten Days.

There are a number of surprising
things brought out by the proceedings
OF the city commissioners sitting as
a board Of equalization, one of them
being that there are no diamonds
owned by the citizens of Bismarck
and worn for personal adornment or
kept as an investment that are worth
more than SIS each, at any rate, that
of the city assessors:
Another thing that is noticed is that
there is not a person in the city
aside from the men who are in ac'
tual business life, who have any mon
ey on deposit in the banks. It would
also appear from the returns that
there are no stocks or bonds owned
by Bismarckers. Possibly some OF
these Impressions will be done away
with by the time the commissioners
have finished their work as equaliZ-
ers, but the original returns show
the above conditions
The total assessed valuation of the
city as shown by the original re-
turns is $2,740,000 for 1909, as against
81 100000 for 1908.
The commission is endeavOring to
place the assessment at about so per
cent of the actual valuation, but 1t
is not thought this will change the
figures Of the assessors to any great
extent as there will be a number of
the assessments lowered and probab-
ly as great a number raised, thus
leaving the final total about as it was
returned by the men in charge of
the assessment.
It is expected that the board will
be in session for about ten days.
The personal assessment was finish
ed Friday, and the real property is
being considered at present.

The captain forbade any of the pas
sengers from going ashore and told US
that on one of his previous trips four
men insisted on going to the beach to
trade, with the natives. The captain
told them he would blow the whistle
three hours before the ship sailed,
and for them to Immediately return to
the vessel. The whistle was blown
according to agreement but the men
did not come back, and even though
the ship waited twenty-four hours,
nothing was ever heard of the men.
suppose they made fine meal for
the islanders.
The natives are naked, both men
and women, and are of most unpre-
possessing appearance. They have
many ,curios, for this island is not
only full of strange birds and ami
mails, which are not found on any of
the other islands visited, but they
have peculiar weapons and utensils
which they will sell for tobacco or
food. Among the birds is the Tyre
bird whose tail is most gorgeously
colored and looks like the musical in.
strument from which it derives it's
name. There is also a splendidly
colored paroquet.
The men carry trophies of human
skulls. and a peculiarly preserved hui
man face which is painted and inlaid
with mother Of pearl, giving it most
grotesque appearance. The island
abounds in all sorts of tropical fruits.
but so far the natives have prevented
every effort to colonize it with white
people. A number Of catholic mis-.
sionaries, came here several years
ago and founded a mission but all of
them we're killed and the same fate
has met every person who has tried
to make friends with the savages.
They will trade with the ships in a
small way, but are bitterly opposed
to having whites come on land to
stay permanently.
One Of the islanders who appeared
to be chief, came aboard ship and
tried to induce some passengers to
go ashore, saying that they would be
perfectly safe, but the captain advis-
ed 50 strongly against it, that no one
felt like tempting fate. They carry
bows and spears and have shields
made of rushes bound together in
oval form. They seem to have no
idea Of values and one can secure
beautiful trophies for small piece OF
tobacco or a string of small beads
worth ten cents. They have pigs and
chickens, and there are many dogs
which are half wild and look more
like wolves than doGs.

SPANISH TROOPS
 FIGHT THE MOORS

Meliila, Morocco, July T.-An official statement, issued this evening, concern Ing the light between the Spaniards and the kabyle tribesmen, says that before dawn this morning the Moors opened a general attack on the Spanish advanced positions, concentrating their efforts against Sidi Musa and the garrison at cape Moreno. The fighting was of the most furious character, but sortie by six companies of Spanish infantry and a light field battery was successful, and the en- emy fell back two kilometres.
 In the fighting a Spanish colonel and three other officers were killed and 13 wounded. The number of casualties among the enlisted men is not known Newly debarked troops have been hurried to the front.
 At 4:3O this afternoon the Moors resumed the offensive, and the firing at that time was general.
 The fighting during the afternoon result ed in a defeat for the Spanish troops Under a galling fire by the Moors thev were unable to hold the ground they had gained and at nightfall, in order to avoid disaster retreated to their old positions.

UMPIRE o'BRIEN AGAIN.
But He Is Probably Correct in This
 Instance.

Umpire O Brien, who has often been in hot water this season appears cor rect in the following as explained by the Nashville Tennessean:
 President Inge with Manager Reed of the Mobile club, protested Thursdays vic- tory, as a result of a ruling made by Umpire Joe O'Brien during the battle.
 The mix-up was about this: At the start of the game O'Brien asked Reed for his battery. The Gull mogul announced Bittrolf and Ludwig The umpire so an- nounced to the audience. As the gamn started however, Manager Reed switched to Fritz for Ludwig. and this stood until the fifth inning, when Reed decided to send in Ludwig to relieve the backstopper then working. O'Brien ruled, however that as Ludwig had been once announced to catch, that he had technically taken part in the game. and therefore could not be sent In again MT. Inge claims that as Ludwig had not taken active part-had not caught a ball or stood behind the bat, that he could not be considered as having played before.
 q base my decision on a ruling of Pres ident Pulliam's last season." announced Umpire O'Brien, after the game "In game played in New York, O'Day asked McGraw for his battery and was given Bresnahan as the catcher. Then Bower man was sent in to catch. Later on in the afternoon McGraw sent Bresnahan in to bat and O'Day refused to let him play claiming that he had been entered and then withdrawn. McGraw protested the decision, and Pulliam upheld ODay. The ruling of a big league president is good enough for me when the case isn't cov- cred directly in the rules"

TRANSPUSION TO
 CURE PELLAGRA

Meridian. Miss. July 2S.-(Special)-A rather unusual operation was performed on Mrs. Haley, the wife of the Rev pr. l. A. Haley. pastor of the Fifteenth Ave- nue Baptist church, when at a local hos pltai blood was transfused from the artery or the husband to an artery of the wife. the operation was performed by Dr. Cole a specialist of Mobile, in the presence af other physicians of this city The hus- band barred his arm to the skilled sur- geon knife and an artery in his arm was connected with an artery in Mrs Hafley,s arm and a pint or a pint and a half of piood passed from the strong man into the body of the sick wife
 Dr. Hailey stated tonight that the oper- alton did not hurt him to amount to any, thing and he was hopeful that it had benefited Mrs. Haley, who had been car ried back home after the operation and who appeared to be doing very we'll Some three months ago. Mrs Hailey was taken sick and the family physician, pr. Sarah Castles was summoned and it was soon ascertained that she was suffering from pellagra. the disease that is said to be caused from eating corn bread made of imperfect or immature corn.
 Drs. Tackett and Buchanan were called in consultation and 1t was decided that the transfusng of blood would be bene- hcial. Dr. Hailey states that Mrs. Hailev had all the symptoms Of pellagra. She suffered very much at first from A dis ordered stomach and then followed inc eruptions her hands showing the strong est symptoms of the disease If Is be- lieved that Mrs. Hailey now stands a good chance 10 recover

Here's a good one 'It's hard to decide which team is play ing the best ball today-Atlanta, Nashville or Montgomery"
 The Montgomery Journal daddies that.
 There's one thing certain
 When the scribes down in New Orr leans throw stones at Birmingham they are showing the world how they cover up their own sins.
 Birmingham is no weaker than New Orleans.
 Our boys are kids, they say Charlie's are ''has beens."
 And Charlie is seriously worried.
 He is not only manager this year. He Is president, too.
 And those scribes down in PelicanvilIe have fooled the fans into believing that Charlie will win the pennant
 Charlie realizes that with his present aggregation he can finish no higher than he is today.
 And Charlie is seriously worried.
 Hoffman, an infielder, is en route to join the Pelicans. We don't know how strong the youngster is. But he Is new and will draw better than some of those on Franks staff today. And if the New Orleans papers are to be believed, other infielders are en route. In other words, 1t would seem that Frank is determined to get hold of some men who can put him higher in the standing.
 He cannot go higher with those he has. That's a cinch.
 Billy Smith is a successful Southern league manager. But he has made some horrible mistakes. The most spectacular error ever made in the Southern league was made by Billy. Once upon a time he turned Neal Ball adrift, and retained Gas. tro. Now Castro is down and out in the Sally league while Neal Ball is making triples for Cleveland This season Billy made another. He retained Rohn to play first for him and let Bastian go to Texas. Bastian is star ring In the Lone Star state. Eyerybodv Knows what Rohn is doing. Well, Atlanta was the first to lose.

Atlanta. July 23-Little Rock defeated Atlanta this afternoon in a ten-inning game. Johns who pitched for Atlanta, scored the only run made for his club and when Umpire Moran called Hoey safe at the plate in the ninth the score was tied Hoey made a dash for the rubber and collided with Smith, who was catch ing for the home team. He was knocked unconscious and Moran said he was safe. There was a wrangle over the de- cision. but it stood. In the tenth Col lins and Cocash scored on a base on balls and three singles. Atlanta was not able to overcome this and lost. At lanta is now only half game in the lead of Nashville Score:

Some Baseball Chatter
 Of Cu77ent MteYesf

But the Crackers are holding first posi- ton still.
 It's by narrow margin, however-just one point.
 You cannot safely say that either At lanta or Nashville will win the pennant There are several other clubs close to the leaders and the season is not over yet by a third of the time
 Anything can happen. though it is not probable that either Birmingham. Mem- phis or Montgomery will float the banner this season.
 Incidentally, we would rejoice were Montgomery to win a rag
 The Sleepers have won so many pen- nants before the opening of seasons that to remain one of the few Southern az gregations which have never landed a real, real rag seems hard, indeed.
 Strange, isn't it?
 Last season Montgomery had a chance to win the pennant.
 Yes, a pretty good chance.
 The Seepers hit their stride in August and began winning hand over fist.
 Then Perry, third baseman and the best in the league, was sold to Detroit. He must have brought a magnificent price, you will say.
 But you will be mistaken. He sold to Detroit for S1750.
 Is Montgomery about to repeat?
 The other day the Associated Press told of Philadelphia claiming Jack Lively. a young twirler, who. while being amateur ish in many respects. is promising.
 It was then stated that Jack would be delivered at the end of the season. Now 1t is hinted that he will be rushed away at the present time
 Even MT. Krause "got his" Well, we have one more opportunity to land on Frank. The final game of the series will be played this afternoon. Between these two 1 1t is toss-up. of course When New Orleans meets Birmingham there Is no telling what will happen. The Barons, in three weeks. have turned i Tour victories. They have lost every se- ries It is hoped by many of the faith ful that they will make a special effort to wrench off the victory this afternoon.
