.ELUC|DAT|ON ON
THAT TAX LEVY
ABOUT FIVE MILLS NEEDED FOR
THE GENERAL EXPENSE
AMOUNT Asked. S1O7, 900
Additional Three and Quarter MIL
for Sinking Fund totals
S.25 Mills.

There seems to be an erroneous
impression prevalent iu Tulsa us 10
the tax levy which the city Of Tulsa
Is asking the excise board to MAX,
on Iulso property Last year the
city asked for the fun seven mills
allowed by the state law for the gem
oral expenses This was because the
budget of the commissioners showed
that the sum required for the gen.
cral expenses Of the city would DE
in excess Of what might be raised by
seven mill levy.
4 This year when the valuation was
raised to S12OOO.OOO from 10000
600 by the county assessors, the com
msaioners We're Of tHe opinion that
all Of the seven mills would be need
ed. But when the State Board of
Equalization raised the valuations in
Tulsa to $2O,OO0,OOO exclusive Of the
valuation Of public service corpora
tlon property, some Tuslans did not
grasp that the levy would be de-
creased.
The city Commissioners prepared
budget some weeks ago for the use
y
the tax levy in Tulsa The budget
called for approximately 100000 for
general expenses, ana $GS,00o for a
sinking fund.
These amounts were specified in
the budget as being the amount
wanted. The commissioners inferred
that the limit Of seven mills would
be necessary because at the time the
budget was prepared the valuations
of Tulsa property had not been hoist
ed by the state board.
II. y. Cline, city auditor, corrocts
such erroneous impressions by stating
that the city can not legally ask for
n tax levy in excess OF that which
would be required to raise the amount
specified in the budget.
The tax levy in Tulsa is hanging
fire just at present because the state
auditor had not certified the valuation
of public service corporation prop
erty in Tulsa. 1t is, however, under
stood that this asset will be valued
at about $95O,OOO or practically one
million dollars for the city of Tulsa.
with the city real estate valuation
fixed at practically $2O.OOO,OOO it caa
readily be seen mat the levy will be
less than seven mills With the val
uation at practically $21,OOO,OOO l
seven mill levy would be the means
of raising $147,OOO for general eX
penses which is $4,000 more than
asked in the budget.
1t is predicted by officials that the
levy for general expenses win be five
mills. For the sinking fund, $6S, 900
is asked and the levy for this would
be about 3 IA mills making a total
of & IA mills for both sinking fund
and general expenses.
That this levy can be reasonably ex
pected is to be construed from the
fact that the valuation last year was
near $1O,000,OO0, while the levy was
mills for general expenses and s
mills for sinking fund. Since that
time no bonds have been voted, and
only the amount asked for general
expenses has been boosted.

KEEPING IT AWAY.
The Street Department is Filling in
the Sunk" Places of Tulsa.

Along with others, the street de-
partment has been effected by the re
cent gushing showers. During the
dry season, many cuts and fills were
made on the street, only water can
pack" dirt properly, and In the alb
sence Of rain, the dirt over new
sewers and in fills was not settled
down when the rainy season set in.
As a result there have been many
gulies washed in the streets and alleys
and they are thus rendered danger
Gus. The street department under
the guidance of Colonel j. A. Yeagcr,
commissioner has been working to
remedy these conditions.
But it is a big job, and the Com
missioner repeats the admonition
made few days ago to the effect
that drivers should use caution in
traversing unpaved streets, and es-
pecially unpaved alleys.

WANT ORLEANS TO BE KING
Came'ots Du Rol Are Riotous Crowd
OF Royalists and Frequently Create
Excitement In Paris.

The offshoot of the Orleanist party,
calling themselves the "Camelots du
Roi,' which every now and then get
up little excitement in Paris by
assaulting ministers, would seem to
be the French equivalent of our
sufragettes. says an English paper.
They are supposed to be agitating
for the overthrow of the French re-
public and the return of the Due dor.

indeed whether this sort of thing Is
likely to help the duke up the steps
of a throne
The society is composed of all
sorts and conditions of men and WON.
en-, from members of the old French
nobility down to walters and artisans.
The Marquise dc Vasselot de Rogue
is prominent member, and so Is
Count BONN de Castellane.
The marquise is one of the mar
tyrs" of the cause. A few months
ago she was awarded five days i'm
prisonment for the use of insulting
terms" and for riotous behavior at a
royalist demonstration.
Nobody was more pleased than tbs
marqufse herself at the sentence. She
was sentenced during her absence
from Paris. but she promptly return
ed and was presented with sheaves
of flowers by admiring royalists as she
entered the prison.
The "hawkers" generally confine
themselves to "riotous behavior" oc-
casionally indulging In special little
excitement, like the attempt of Mat
tbs, waiter, to pull M. Fallieres'
beard, because he would make him
look so ridiculous"
Another of their little attempts to
reinstate the Due d'Orleans on the
throne of France was perpetrated one
dark night, when the conspirators sal
lied forth with pots of paint, and
Paris woke up next morning, to find
that number of statues, erected to
the memory Of senators and other
harmless folk, had been daubed with
brilliant coats of red paint.
Such performances have, In fact,
made the duke appear not little ridi-
culous at times, and a few months
ago he was moved to declare In an
Interview that these tactics do more
harm than good"

road. He is apparently suffering M
pangs of conscience over his crime
The penalty which he paid for taking
the money was five years in the pen
itentiary, the court giving him thai
sentence on plea of guilty
What became of the $4,000 is q
mystery to the Wells.Fargo people
and the detectives who have been
searching for it ever since, says the
New York Press. 1t Is known that
Beeler never has reaped any benefit
from the stolen money. From the
time he left the doors of the peniten
tiary until short time ago there was
not day that he was not Swallowed
by detectives. At last the express
company Is said to be convinced that
the man lost or misplaced the money
Now the company has given up all
hope of ever obtaining possession of It,
The story of this robbery and the
events relating to it form one of the
most remarkable in the criminal an.
mails OF the country. Beeler was a
driver of Wells-Fargo G. Co. wagon
In San Antonio and had been in the
employ of the company several years.
One dismal evening In the winter of
1889 packages of currency and bags
OF gold amounting to $4,000 were
counted out to Beeler by the local
cashier in the San Antonio office of
the express company, with instruc.
tons to haul the money In his wagon
safe to the Southern Pacific Railroad
station and deliver 1t to the pay car
OF that road. Local money deliveries
of this kind had been made many
times, but the express agent always
accompanied the driver. 1t happened
on this particular day that the local
agent was not in the office, and Beeler
drove off alone with the money.
Succumbed to Temptation.
He says he had no sooner leftsthe
Office than the thought flashed through
his mind that here was his chance
to get fortune. He did some rapid
thinking while his horse was travelling
toward the railroad station, and he
decided to make way with the money.
1t was a stake worth playing for,
even should he be captured and made
to serve a prison sentence. He turned
the horses heads III an opposite direc-
ton from the station and drove
through the alleys and quiet streets
until he reached the outskirts of the
city. Darkness had settled down and
he drove the horses and wagon out
into the country for a mile and en-
tered mesQuite-covered thicket. Ty-
Ing the horses to tree, he soon had
the safe open and the $4,000 in his
possession. II was a comparatively
easy matter to carry the currency.
but the gold coins made a weighty
bundle. In order to prevent his trail
being followed Beeler started away
from the wagon ON foot. He headed
south, Mexico being his objective
point, He claims that when he
reached ranch few miles below
San Antonio he buried all of the
money except $4,000 in bills. He says
that he placed the gold in tin cans and
carefully marked the spot where he
hid it. 1t was his plan to use the
$4,000 to make his escape into Mex
leo and to live there for time until
the excitement over the robbery had
subsidized. when he would secretly
