A suspicious looking fellow called at the residence on Christmas and questioned the housekeeper ns to what hours services were neld, evidently with a view to becoming acquainted with the design of the residence, There was o key in the back door, but that was not missed until after the rolbery had been discovered.

He said the proper _way is to bank stocks and that class of property at its actual valua- tion, By doing this the valuation of the city could easily be rased to §0,000,000; that now millions of dollars worth of prop: erty escapes taxation, while if it was assessed at its real value the rate of taxation would be much lower. Mr. Poppleton was not in_favor of borrow- ing money, and did not want to see the valu- ation raisod s0as to place a lever in anyone's hand to borrow moncy. “We don't compare fayorably with an other western state,’ said Mr. Rosewater. “During _the prohibition campeign one of the things I could not answer was in rogard to Kansas, Thev have a valuation that exceeds ours by #156,000,000, with no large cities, while wo have a_city of 140,000 and only a small valuation. This shows bad, and we can never have an important civy until we inerease our valuation,” “You do thut,” suid Mr. - Poppleton, tand in ten years you will have a debt of $100,- 000,000, if you increase your valuation to that amount, I willtell you what to do.
