ASSESSORS MEET
HUGH SMITH, TAX COMMISSION
ER, IN ATTENDANCE.

With an almost complete repre-
sentation of the assessors of the
county. Hugh Smith, commissioners OF
tax at Pierre, is ~instructing them in
their duties today. The object of the
instructions is to attain to uniform
ity in valuing and taxation. With
out some instructions and definitions
Of their duties, different assessors
will interpret their work in different
ways, with the result that, even with
the best equalization possible, there
will be discrepancies and unfairness.
The meeting today is declared to be
most instructive and helpful to the
men who make the valuations. Valu-
ations themselves are not being fixed,
but how to arrive at them are being
determined.

faded and worn, they turned from
their task as dawn gathered across
the Potomac. Not yet was the sun
far up when they met again today to
check up the proceeds of their six
teen hours play.
Strewn with fragments of the
broken pellets which told the fate of
Americas boys, this history making
room this morning was a wreck.
At the beginning it presented new
er-to-be- forgotten scene.
The great hlackboards with their
fateful digits blocked the far end of
the room in an inverted v. Above
them a glittering crystal chandelier,
brilliantly lighted despite brilliant
sun. pouring thru the cathedraled
windows.
Gaping Jar Is Empty.
Beneath the chandelier, the long.
flat table where Crowder and his men
sat facing the number bowl, was de-
serted.
Before this, on a low mahogany
pedestal, with four biocky ebony legs,
sat the great grass JAR, gaping anu
empty, filched of its capsuled secrets.
At this time yesterday that bowl was
the greatest mystery in the nation.
Beyond lay the tumble of chairs
where sat the personnel of house and
senate military affairs committees and
to the right, across a narrow aisle,
the long wide table where half hun
dred members of the press worked
feverishly long, long hours to tell the
world the story of what had happened
there.
Amid the debris, crumpled and torn,
reposed the film of heavy brown pa
per, which, nipped to the belled
mouth of the glass globe, had held
its secrets SO close.
Stirred Fate With Soup Ladle.
Beside it lay the tough white cord
and next to that, half hidden under a
mass of scrubbed note sheets. the
wooden soup ladle which had stirred
the ebony pellets in the bowl. Its
blade was splintered and the tiny
rosette of red, white and blue baby
ribbon which chung so gaily to its hilt
at the drawing, was crumpled and
soiled.

How many thousands of men it
scooped from the bottom to within an

tum bling to the bottom again with an

in Russia are imprisoned. Contrary
to early reports, they did not sur

sneaked across other bridges. Some

the fortress. Then the walls of the

figures-Some sailors and soldiers in
uniform, others the black CARRIED
Leninites who had occupied the for
tress when they were ousted from
the palace of the dancer Kshesinska.
The last stand was dramatic. The
rat-a-tat-tat of machine gun fire re-
sounded in the fortress yard. mingled
strangely with the mellow chimes
that poured their melody from the
glittering spire. The tiny figures to
be seen from the river bank dotting
the fortress walls soon began to thin
out. Then over the bridges came the
governments loyal troops, escorting
a filthy, unshaven body of prisoners.
They were some of the officials of the
old regime, their velvet suits of other
days of gorgeousness contrasting
strangely with disordered collars,
loose neckties and faces trembling
with fear. They were the typical
weaklings of the old governmental
aristocracy.
None of Kerensky's troops killed
townspeople or agitators in the street

Women Join Street Battle.
The cabinet, as now constituted,
consists of six Socialists and three
members of other liberal parties but
over all the workmens and soldiers
congress is completely dominant.
A number of women marched with
the Kronstadt sailors in some of the
earlier clashes on the streets. In COM

caught in one of these street battles
late in the afternoon, in which dozen
people were killed. Those who were

the bullets hummed and then ran for

developed in the corn market today owing
in the main apparently to the wide dis
counts of new crop futures as compared
with corn ready for immediate use. The
voting of the new German war credit
seemed to tend somewhat also to stimulate
bullish sentiment Opening prices which
ranged from the same as yesterdays finish
to half higher with September at $163
to $1.63H aud December at 81 167s to 81 .111a
were followed by material further gains. A
decided reaction took place.
Weekend profit taking brought about
further declines al the session drew.to an
end. The close was heavy, at the same al
yesterdays finish to 11se lower, with Sep
tember S1.63 to $1.63A and December $1.15k
to 81. 161s.
WHEAT-Prospects of quick action in
congress in fixing a minimum price was
credited with helping to lift wheat prices.
After opening unchanged at $3.50 July and
S2.1S September the market rose to S2.26
September.
Additional gains were scored in the later
dealings The close was strong, sc to 9s4 C

A final vote was taken on a resolu-
ton of M. Hornberg. member of the
Swedish party, the import of which
was that the district court reserve the
right to break the last bonds with
Russia. The Hornberg resolution was
defeated chiefly because of the vote
of the Socialists themselves. who stand
for this policy, but object to following
the initiative of the non-Socialist
parties.

Petrograd. July 21.-The cabinet

If you are found physically qualified

Must Know Own Numbers.
Every man registering knows, or
should know, his own number. 1t is
his business to know whether he is
subject to examination.
In Kansas the first number affect
ing every registration district was the
1880 number announced. Earlier
numbers affected numerous Kansas
counties. The local boards, however,
will begin their selections from the
numbers applicable only to their coun-
ty or district. Selections of men will
in all cases be in the order in which
their names were drawn. No To-
pekans will be called on the first call.
Under the system, it seems probable
at this time that many Topeka men
whose numbers were drawn late, will
not be subject to service until the
third or fourth call. Counties and
cities which have provided their
quota of men in volunteer army units,
will of course, not be concerned with
the first draft. The same system of
selection, tho, will affect the second
and subsequent calls.
