The commencement ot proceedings in the 1 eupreme. court last week by Attorney Cieneral ISrndlord against the assessors ot Atchison county to compel them to assess property at Its full value, as required by law. Is exciting a (rood deal of Interest throughout the state. The law plainly provides that all property shall I i assessed at it actual value, hut in nearly every county In the state this law has Wen disregarded. In several counties the property Is assessed as low as 20 per cent ef its full value.

In Atchison county the rate was fixed at 25 per cent of the actual value. The proceedings were begun against the as-'Bessors of Atchison county simply to test the matter. A decision of the supreme court in 'the Atchison county case will affect every County in the state. The subject of assessment and taxation Is one of the most iniiortant now before the reople uf Kansas. It is a subject which has been discussed, at nearly every session of the legislature for the iast ten years.

Everybody agreed tliat tne present unjust system should le amended in some way, but no remedy has jet been found. It is urged by some that if the assessors complied strictly with the law there would be no trouble, but others claim that this would not remedy It. low the Cavital presents the basis of valuation in the various comities in the state, by which it will bo seen that there Is the greatest diversity in the rate of assessment. This comparative statement shows very plainly the injustice that is done to a large proportion or the taxpayers of Kansas. For instance, tlie man who has $5,000 in cash in Leavenworth county is assessed on the full amount, while in the joining county, Atchison, the man with is assessed only one-fourth that amount.

There are a number of counties in the state in which money is assessed at its full value, and there are a number of others in which money is assessed at only one-fourth of its face. It is the same with bank stock. In noiii counties bank stock is assessed at its face value, while in others it is assessed at one-fourth, one-third or one-half. It is the same with mortgages, notes, merchandise, real estate, etc. The wing is the hais of valuation as fixed this spring's assessment: Unit estate Moneys Bank Mortgages per cent per cent percent percent Allen to 100 25 60 t't' 25 25 25 25 Harbor Ml 25 25 25 25 Piutnii Kl 75 75 1 Jh.urbon 50 00 60 la.mn U) 60 60 entra nces is one of the relics of the past.

At the tomb one inscription attracted my attention more than the rest because it briefly summoned up his administration thus: "He planted the laws of the American Union on the shores of the Pacific." It will be remembered that after Sherman began his march to the sea from Atlanta, Hood, the commander of the confederate army, crossing the Tennessee river at Decatur, Alabama, inarched northward threatening Nashville, Our two army corps covering Nashville commanded by Scho-field and Stanley fell back towards that city. A portion of Hood's superior forces marchiug rapidly on parallel roads withour line of march encamped one night near Spring Hill so near our line of march that the enemy's camp-fires were plainly seen; being but ft short distance away. While our trains were crossing the Haspeth river as Franklin, Hood's forces came up and the of Ids confederates was never surpassed cu any of the fields; they advanced on our line time and again over ground affording no protection, only to he mowed down by our artillery and infantry behind fortifications. Our troops held them at bay till night when, our army falling back to Nashville, formed a junction with other troops sent to our relief and our lines were speedily entrenched, the whole being under command of Thomas. Hood rapidly followed and intrenching his lines a short distance from ours, skirmishing was kept up for several days.

When Thomas had completed his preparations for advancing against the enemy our lines leaped over our works and by stubliorn and determined fighting forced the confederates back over the hills south of Nashville. The troops on both sides fought nobly, and it would be impossible to mention any regiment or brigade which did not show its devotion to its cause on this historic day. The confederate lines being driven back were intrenched in a new aud strong position and awaited our advance on the second day of the battle. The advance of our lines was fully as determined as on the first day. At Franklin the confederates advanced on our intrenched lines.

At Nashville the conditions were reversed. We were fighting our enemies in their intrenchments. The fighting was stubborn and persistent, but from the beginning Hood bad been clearly on the defensive. His line was broken, and our troops quickly pouring through the gap and changing front tin enemy's line was nvaded and rolled back on itself. It began to crumble.

I shall never forget when the brigade to hich 1 belonged charged with other troops the right of the enemy's line on Overton hill. On that wintry day we took poor fellows prisoners who were entirely bare fot ted. Hood's troops, brave as they were, were forced back from their intrenchments and began a hurried retreat southward over the Franklin After looking at some of the old landmarks $1,996,189.33 312.37S.64. 18,078,156.36. 2,683,925.81, ASSETS, LIABILITIES, SURPLUS, AMOUNT OF INSURANCE IN FORCE, TOTAL PAID POLICY-HOLDERS, 0 (: June.

LITTLE, Junction City, Kan. Frank Burns of Dodge City Wanted in the United States Court. At the time William Van Allen alias William Meaker was arrested on the charge of attempting to steal a diamond ring from Bennett's jewelry store last week, he was in the company of one Frank P. Burns of Dodge City. Burns was here to answer the charge of perjury in a land case.

He had taken a claim on the Fort Dodge reservation over which a contest was afterwards begun. At the time of the arrest Burns requested that his name should not be mentioned as it might affect his chances in court, but did not state the nature of the suit, and also 6tated that Van Allen, who had formerly lived at Dodge, was to bave been a witness for him, but that he would not have him put on the stand since he had been arrested for robbery. As he was not suspected of being connected with the robbery in any way las name was not mentioned. It has since been learned tliat Burns bears a hard reputation, that of a confidence operator and a hard citizen generally. His case was set for early in the term, but postponed from time to time for various reasons.

When the case was firily called yesterday morning he could not be found. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that he had left town. For a number of days complaint has been made to the United States marshal that Burns was trying to intimidate witnesses by threatening to kill them if they testified against him. When the court heard of a warrant was made out for Burns' arrest on the new charge of intimidation. His bond was raised to 5,000.

In leaving town Burns forfeits his bond of 1,000. Blighted Prospects are largely the result of improvidence and lack of enterprise.

Her name Is Harriett A. West, and 6he is the widow of Win, U.

West, formerly a private in company Second Illinois cavalry. West, after serving his country in the war of the rebellion and escaping death on the battle field, died In 1SS7. The story of wrongs as told by this woman is in substance as follows: Some time after her husband's death she made efforts to secure such a pension as the widows of honorably discharged soldiers are entitled to, and about five years ago she secured the necessary evidence except an affidavit from the surgeon of the company in which her husband served during the war. The sister, Mary E. White, so Mrs.

West says, wrote to the surgeon aud secured the affidavit and afterwards forwarded it to the pension department. The sister, Mrs. White, was living at Salina. The back iy or accumulated pension money amounted to $1,500. In the course of time the voucher was sent to Mrs.

White who it is alleged signed her sister's name in endorsing it, and the money was paid to her by one of the banks of Salina. This was in the latter part of 1882 or the first of 1883. Mrs. West had formerly lived with her sister at Salina and her sister was familiar with the various steps that had been taken to secure the pension. At the time the money was paid to Mrs.

White, Mrs. West was living at Sedalia, Mo. Shortly after obtaining the money Mr. and Mrs. White moved to Sedalia but nothing was said to Mrs.

West about the money being received until one day about three months after its receipt, Mrs. Wrest said to her sister that she was going to write and find out why the money was not sent to her. Mrs. While then for the first time informed Mrs. West that she had received the money.

She also told Mrs. West that she had at first placed the money in a bank but had afterwards taken it out with the intention of taking it to her, but that the money had been stolen from the house while she and her husband were away. Mrs. While afterwards said that she or her husband had used 500 of the money in buying horses and that 1,000 had been stolen. Effort were made by Mrs.

West to have the matter settled up, but failing in this she made complaint to United States Commissioner A. C. Scott, at Sedalia, and Mr. and Mrs. White were arrested.

They were indicted on several counts and at the first trial at Leavenworth a verdict ot not guilty was returned on one or two of the counts. Mrs. West, in the meantime had grown lenient and wanted the matter dropped. About a year ago tiie parties, or at. least Mrs.

White pleaded guilty, as Mrs. West remembered it, to making false writing and to giving false testimony. Owing to the fact one defendant was a woman, and the other a one-legged ex-union soidier, the court was inclined to be lenient and sentence was for a time suspended and the defendants were allowed to go on parole. For some time past, perhaps two or three years Mr. and Mrs.

Wlute and Mrs. West, have been residents of Topeka. White lives ot 815 Kansas avenue. A portion of the time Mrs. West lias made her home with Mrs.

White. She says, however, that it was not always a pleasant home particularly about the various times the case was brought up in court. On Monday of this weekJMrs. White and her husband came home from the court and informed Mrs. West that they had been cleared.

They also said to her, so she says, that they were not under any obligations to her and desired her to find another home. In the evening she went out for a walk with a gentleman with whom they were all acquainted, and on returning found the doors locked. She kuocked but was denied admission. This so angered her that she broke one of the windows. Mrs.

White and her sou, a young man, then came out and at the bidding of Mrs. White the young man pushed Mrs. West off the poarch. They then threatened her with arrest and went into the house. Mrs.

West's escort had; left before the trouble commenced and she proceeded alone to the corner of Kansas avenue and Fifth street where she met officer Jewell, to whom she related what had happened. Jewell endeavored to find accommodations fot her at several hotels, and fiud-iug them all crowded took the unfortunate woman to the city prison, where the kind hearted jailor, Ben Williams, made her a bed on the lounge in the marshal's private othce. Yesterday she failed to find employment and being without money again sought the friendly shelter of the prison at night. Mrs. West is a woman of quiet, modest bearing and told her story in a straight forward manner.

The United States officials give the particulars of the case in court substantially the same as given by Mrs. West, In loth instances the facts are given from memory, and they are not stated litlj SiVi -j it Comanche. 50 60 Ml Cherokee. .25 f0 50 60 t'lmse 75 60 60 Cloud 331.3 asi- 8313 sa.3 liejt-iine 40 4(i 40 331 40 40 40 60 00 60 25 331' Xr'j a Real Estate Broker, 11?

I went first to the part of the line occupied by our brigade(Willich's) at the beginning of the battle.

There was the same stony hill and traces of the recent earthworks thrown up for our artillery. 1 had some difficulty in recognizing locations here, but shifting to the left till I reached the Franklin turnpike things looked more natural. As the hack proceeded southward along the turnpike, 1 recoguize the hills and ravines which seemed to come back to my mind like a half jfrtotteu dream, I recognized Overton hill belSj I came to it. The ground over winch the charge was made, then in timber, is now a cornfield; but many of the trees are deadened and still standing. I located the enemy's intrenchments and followed their remains quite a distance.

Just before I reached the old line of intrenchments Mr. Overton drove out on the pike on his way to Nashville. Grown old and gray he still lives on the farm and told me something which confirmed my opinion of the rashness of the confederate commander. He said that Hood's headquarters were at his (Overton's) house and that up to within ten minutes of the time the confederates were driven back Hood expected to win the battle. Tearing a limb from a beech tree near where one of our captains was killed, who after be was shot grasped my hand and bade me farewell, I searched in vain for other relics such as cannon nails, shells, which I had found on other battle fields I had visited.

S. Iay, it will he remembered, was one of the most prominent citizens of Morris county. He was convicted in December last of the murder of Dr. J. A.

Hopkins, of I'arkerville, another prominent citizen of that county. At the time the crime was committed, Pay was mayor of I'arkerville. Hopkins wgs married a lilt le over a year ago to Pay's niece. Alter the marriage it is claimed that Pay circulated Hlamlerous stories about Hopkins and his wile. This caused a very hitter feeling between Pay and Hopkins.

Hopkins was Ehot by Pay in the streets of I'arkerville. No one Haw the shooting, but Pay's defense was that it was in self-defense, though the course ot the buiiet and other circumstances would indicate otherwise. Tiie trial was one of the most exciting ever held in this part of the state, andresulted in the conviction of l'ay. He was sentem ed to three years in the penitentiary. fcHcjhas served little more than three months ami his friends now ask for a pardon.

His case was argued yesterday before the board. The friends of the deceased Hopkins are emphatically opposed tot-he granting of a pardon to Pay, and numerously signed protests have beeu presented to the board of pardons. The case will probably not be decided for some time. STATU HOARD OK CHARITIF.S. The trustees of the state charitable institutions are in session, the following members being present: A.

It is quite likely that Thomas knew this. Hood's every movement was closely watched and had he attempted any such movement the prompt pursuit of his enemy then reinforced would have compelled him to seek a safe line of retreat.

Besides this Hood's army was in no condition to make a raid into Kentucky. He had lost the flower of his army by las rash attacks on our troops and the remaining portion was poorly equipped, especially as regarded transportation facilities, for such a raid. It is a military maxim that "nothing succeeds like success," and as regards the battle of Nashville it may be stated that probably in no other battle of the war was a confederate army more practically made hora da combat than was Hood's at Nashville. When his broken and defeated veterans were driven from the field of Nashville by the troops of Thomas they were never again to meet those foes in battle. The southern flag was never again to appear in their front.

When Napoleon was buried at St. Helena, with only two weeping willows to mark his lonely grave, it was said that the mountains above him would perpetuute his fame. As I looked over Overton hill and the other hills on the battlefield of Nashville, I feit that, had the immortal Thomas no other monument, these would be lasting monuments to his undying fame, W. E.

Many of the buildings were washed from their foundations, and all kinds of business was bromrht to a sudden stop.
