procure blank assessment rolls and pro­
ceed forthwith to make his assessment,
and return the roil bv the first Monday
in July, showing all the property
owned in his coounty on the first Mon­
day in January.
Section 360 of the
code' has been amended so as to pro­
vide that the county hoard of equaliza­
tion shall sit on the first Monday of
July, instead of on the last Mondi^ of
August, as heretofore.
Section 3082
was amended so as to limit the time
for correcting the assessmsent rolls by
the board of equalization of the county
court tu 20 days.
Under the new law county courts
must make the annual tax levy in Sep­
tember following the assessment.
In
ordpr that the county courts may have
information as to the amount required,
it ip provide I that the state board o:
apportionment shall make its estimate
of slate^axpenses in July, instead of in
January, as at present.
Cities and
school districts must notify the county
cleiks of their snuual tax levies by the
first day of September, instead of by
the first day of February, as under the
old law. This gives the county courts
fullJUlforrnation for the levying of taxes
at Uie September term of court.
All taxes are payable by the 31st day
•of toeceuiber of the same year, section
310i8 of the code having been amended
so AA to make that provision.
All

cember become delinquent on that day;
J^ H ded , however, that if one-haif of
the taxes due on any parcel of land are
paic by the 31st of December, the prop­
erty owner may have until the follow­
ing ist Monday in April, and if the
remi inder be not then paid, it liecomcs

be c Urged on such remainder from the

the i| hte of 12 per cent per annum from

penalty of 5 per cent will be added.
On all taxes paid on or before the 31st

WILL BEAT RECORD.
Hood In Mississippi Valley Threatens L’n
told Damage to Property.
New Orleans, March 13.— It ia gen­
erally admitted ny government, state
and city authorities that the Missis­
sippi river will in ail probability break
all records before the present flood be­
gins to recede. The gauge here tonight
shows the river to be just one foot be­
low the high water record, and every
precaution is being taken to prevent
serious damage and to prepare for emer­
gencies.
All the levee lines are being inspect­
ed and large forces of men are at work
•lay and night.
Though all the au­
thorities admit that a record stage is
probable, they maintain that the levee
system is higher and stronger than ever
before, and that the hanks are pre­
pared to withstand the extra strain.
The most unfortunate condition at
present is the continuance of the rainy
weather. Thie is having the effect of
softening the levees and all Louisiana
is praying for a return of sunshine.
Mix hundred men are at work today at
various points sacking weak points and
raising the line of embankments.
Thousands of sacks of Band are being
distributed along the river. The engi­
neers report the levees between Booth
Port and Carrollton in excellent con­
dition. The United States engineer
officials have promised
their co­
operation with the authorities in carry­
ing on the fight against the flood. All
the ievee boards of the state may be in
continuous session and every foot of
levee on the river is under surveillance
of armed guards.
OTHER DEADBEAT NATIONS.
Baltaln May Next Collect from Ouatemala
and Costa Rica.
New York, March 13.— English in­
vestors in Spanish-American loans and
enterprises are now looking for a sequel
to the Venezuelan affair in some other
quarter of the Western hemisphere,
says the Tribune’ s representative in
London.
The only other countries
where defaults of interest and repudi­
ation of financial obligations are fla­
grant are Costa Rica and Guatemala.
The external debt of Costa Rica was
scaled down to lower rates of interest,
but the defaults have occurred on both
the interest and the sinking fund.
Guatemala’ s debt was also rearranged
for at 4 per cent, but the interest has
not been paid.
These countries are exposing them­
selves to foreign coercion in the interest
of Euroean creditors. It is not proba­
ble that England will join Germany in
another naval campaign against either
republic, since the British investors in
tlie two main Venezuelan loans com­
plain that the effect of the alliance has
been to establish preference for inferior
German claims and to create a prejudice
against the legitimate claims of bond­
holders.
PLACED IN NAVY’S CARE.
Midway Islands Will Be Protected from
Roving Japanese Sailors.
Washington, March 13.— The presi­
dent by executive order has turned the
Midway islands over lo the navy de­
partment.
This W88 done at the in­
stance the Pacific cable company, which
has asked for the protection of its prop­
erty on the islands.
Roving Japanese
sailors are in the habit of landing on
the islands for the plumage of sea fowl
ami for guano. It is probable that the
navy will establish a small station on
tiie islands and American warships will
make a practice of touching there much
more frequently than they have done
in the past.
The islands are two in
number, Band island, having 633 acres,
and Eastern island, 245 acres.
There
is a harbor affiording about 18 feet of
water. The islands are deemed essen­
tial to the operation of the Pacific
cable, which will touch there on its
western route from Hawaii.
Red Tape In the Way.
New York, March 13.—The state­
ment that the postoffice department has
acceded to Marconi’ s request for tele­
graph communication through Fal­
mouth with the wireless station at
Poldhu is understood to be substantial­
ly true, says a London dispatch to the
Tribune.
The concession, however,
does not improve much^the prospects of
an early establishment of a commercial
wireless system between England and
America. Marconi has not been able
to persuade the postmaster general to
allow messages destined for transmis­
sion across the ocean by wireless system
to Ire handed in as cable messages at
any telegraph office in the United King­
dom.

Lighthouse on Mile Rock.
San Francisco, March 13.— Under
the direction of Captain Valentine, of
the United States engineer corps, a
force of men has gone tc Mile Rock, at
the entrance to the Golden Gate, and
begun the work of preparing fi r the
erection of a lighthouse on the jagged
peak. Since the days of the discovery
of this bay Mile rock has been regarded
as one of the most dangerous obstruc­
tions to navigation on this part of the
coast. The construction of a lightbnnse

danger, but serve as a guide.

B a l t i m o r e , Md., March 30, 19« .
Gentlemen : — Being entirely cured o f deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you
• full history o f my case, to be used at your discretion.
About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
.
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num­
ber o f physicians, among others, the most eminent car specialist of this city, who told me that
only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever.
I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat­
ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and
to-dav, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased car has been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily and beg to remain
Very truly yours,
