NOTED PREACHER AT
CHAUTAUQUA MEETING

Newell Dwight Hills is the only man
In the United States who is compared
with the great preacher and orator,
Henry Ward Beeeher. No greater trib-
ute could be paid to Hills than this,
the comparison is more natural from
the fact that DR.. Hills has been for
many years pastor of the Plymouth
church in New York, which became
historic under the ministry of Beecher.
The management of the Chautauqua
announces that DIR. Hills has been en-
gagged to come here to deliver one of
his famous lectures early in the week
beginning July IL. This is the first
time for this noted preacher, lecturer
and author to appear on western Chau-
tauqua platforms and it is an event
that will not be overlooked.
Although considered one of the high
est-prieed lecturers and his date here
costs a good sum, there will be no in
crease in the cost of season tickets
This is because the Ellison White
Chautauqua system, which furnishes
the talent for this and 100 other cities
having Chautauquas, has set this gem
into the diadem Of the week Is attrac-
tions already engaged, and has not
made any extra charge for the Hills
lecture. This is much appreciated by
the committee, and it will be more
fully appreciated after he has been
here

TAX COMMISSION ATTEMPTS
CONTROL ASSESSORS OFFICE

This morning Assessor Organ re
an official document, which defined
land classifcations as follows:
ID Cultivated lands divided into
four classes.
(2) Meadow lands, two classes.
(3) Pasture lands, two classes.
"a Irrigable or arabic lands, three
classes.
(5) Grazing lands, two classes.
(6) Mountain lands, one class.
In the same letter Assessor Organ
was directed to classify the lands but
not to place the value upon same until
further orders from the commission.
Yesterday Ex-Assessor II. M. Leon
ard returned fom Carson City and pre-
sented Assessor Organ with an official
document from the state tax commits
sion empowering him to "confer with,
advise and direct'' the Official actions
Of the assessor of Humboldt county
The authority of the commission in
this respect is claimed under subdi-
vision 1, of section 3, of the act passed
last winter with regard to the tax
commission. IL will be remembered
that this was known as the " compro-
mise tax BILL 1t is loosely drawn and
contradictory, as was probably intend
ec by its sponsors, and viii no doubt
have to be taken TO the Supreme
court for construction.
IF the state tax commission claims
authority to appoint a man to super
wise and direct the official acts of =
man elected to the office of assessor
bv the people. there will no doubt be
several assessors of the state who viii
not submit to any such proceeding I'M
til ordered to do so by the highest tri-
bunal of the state. 1t is probable,
however. that the whole question viii
hinge upon the word "direet,' as used
in the section referred to above.
From a seursory reading of the act
the average lay mind will be impress
ed with the idea that the state tax
commission is given complete initial
jurisdiction in all matters pertaining
to the states revenue system. In sub
sequent chapters, however, il is stip
ulated that the state board of equal
ization shall have the final word on
all matters affecting assessed values OF
property, and although the tax com.
mission is given the power to fix live
stock values, it is ordered. at its De-
toher meeting, to raise or lower those
assessments to conform to the figures
adopted bv. the state board of equal
ization, which is composed of the com
mission and the county assessors of the
state
Tt is to be hoped that Assessor Or
gan. or some other assessor of the
state who has been superseded by the
tax commission, will bring immediate
action in the courts, in order that an
Interpretation of the act may be given
before the entire taxes of the state
are tied up, as is the case at present
with a large proportion of the Hum
boldt county taxes for the year 1914.

WOMEN SAIL, BOUND
FOR PEACE CONGRESS

We II stop the war, even though
it costs us our lives,'' said Miss Jane
Adams of the Chicago Hull house,
just before the departure of the steam
ship Noordam from New York Wednes-
day, carrying fifty members of the
Women's Peace Party to the Hague.
Miss Adams who is the leader of
the party, said she did not know what
plans had been made on the other side
concerning the conference, ibut that
American women can and must end
the war in Europe.
s'We do not even call this Peace
Conference" she declared. HWe call
it an International Congress; that Is
the important thing. We are going to
discuss the war situation from the wo-
mans point of view; from the human
standpoint, and not from the diplo'
matte.
Although we may accomplish moth
ing definite as to the immediate stop
ping of the war, the situation is Sc
grave now that we must do all we
can, throw all our influence into the
balance, which may, in some way
make for peace"
AT the masthead of the steamer
Noordam, when it sailed for Rotter
dam with the peace party, hoated 2
white flag carrying the word Peace
inscribed in blue letters.
The flag is the creation of Miss Mad
cline Doty of New York, Miss Doty
received suggestion for it from Mrs
Pethiek Lawrence, who was also pas
senger. Permission to fly the new iae
was granted by the steamship company
on the condition that it would be taker
down when the Noordam reached the
English channel
The delegates will go to the Hague
where the Congress is expected to b'
held for three days.

animal PERFORM
ERS With CIRCUS

Without doubt, some of the most
sensational, thrilling, death-defying
wild animal acts ever shown are pre-
sented by the Al G. Barnes wild animal
circus.
Over 600 educated wild and domestic
animals are used in giving the per-
formance of this show-the greatest
collection of trained animals ever as
sembled under one management. The
Barnes circus was the original wild
animal show and now holds the rank
of being the largest aggregation of the
character in the world, presenting as
1t does more trained animals than all
other shows combined.
Sixtyfve sensational, amusing,
amazing, thrilling acts are presented
at each performance. These acts are
given in two divisions, the wild ami
NAL acts in large steel-barred arena
in the center of the big tent, and
those of the domestic animals in the
regulation sawdust rings at either side
OF the arena. There's something doing
in these two rings and the arena ev-
cry minute of the three solid hours of
entertainment.
The members of the Barnes animal
acting troupe have been recruited
from jungles, plain, desert, forest,
ocean and homestead. Lions, tigers,
elephants, leopards, jaguars, zebras,
hyenas, camels, zubus, monkeys, apes,
Duran outangs dogs, horses, ponies.
goats, seals and sea lions are men,
bers of the troupe-every one trained
to perform, in fact every animal car
ried with this big show is an actor.
One of the greatest features of the
show is the troupe of beautiful
horses and ponies-500 in number,
which for size, beauty and breeding
are unrivalled in the entire world.
These horses are all shown during the
action of the shows program
The most thrilling wild animal spec
tacle known is Herr Roth's group of
man eating African lions-24 in num-
ber-which he presents in one act.
Mile. F1orine, with a group of Per-
sian leopards and iuguars, and Miss
Mable Stark 3 Royal Bengal and ST.
berian tigers are also "thrillers" of
the first rank. Thirty bear actors,
among which is Big Bill, the wrest-
ling grizzly, provide another exciting
feature. A big herd Of posing and
comedy elephants also have headlin
act
Fifty comedy animals, including
Danger, Dynamite and Mileaminute,
unridable mules, provide clean line
of fun. They are assisted by twelve
regulation clowns.
A glittering, four-band, snilelong
street parade is presented at 1880.
Performance will be given here at 2
and p. m. on Friday, April 30.

PURITY.

Whatever may be our mental attain
ments or social qualities, we are moth
ing without purity, only Thinking
.cymbals.n Our love is stained, our
benevolence corrupted, our piety a
pretenSe, which God will not accept.
An impure man Or woman is an awful
sight, They outrage all just ideas Of
mankind; all proper conceptions OF spir-
itual beauty, To have evil thoughts
corrupt lodgings or deceitful propen-
stiles ought to startle any young VIZ IN
an. 1t is the exuding OF impure wat
ers from the heart. VINO feels such
utterauces from within should beware.
They are the whisperings OF an evil
spirit, the temptations to sin and
crime. II we could speak to all young
people in the world, We would stril Q
to utter the intrinsic beauties and es-
senual qualities of purity We would
seek to illustrate it as the fountain OF
all that is great and good, all that is
spiritually grand and redeeming.
here is no virtue, no spiritual life,
no moral beauty, no glory Of soul nor
dignity Of character without purity.
