Assessors Must Obey the Conmstitution, Net the Legislature. County Assessor Bond has received from the State Board of. Equalization a letter which svvs: The Tepfcletnre passed an Act approved March 16th, 1889, amending Section’S617 <f the Pol:tical Code so far us to detine the trm “growing crops}’’ to include vines, nut-bearing, fruit and ernamental trees, The intent of this Act gas to-exeapt trees and yines from assestivent. You are directed to disregard this Act and assess trees and vines, as io former yeara, as “‘improvements,” because the Act, so far asit sttempte to exclude trees ard yines from assesement, is clearly unconstitutional. * The Constitution of thie State declares_ that. all property shall be assessed, except certain property, herein named, to be exempt, among which is “growing crops.’’? What is meant by “‘growing crops’’ has received judicial determibation, and by that you’ are to be guided. oe & * Asthe Supreme Court has often decided that the Asressor must obey the Constitution, rather “than the law, and as that Constitution has received the interpretation of the Supreme Court, there is rothing left for you to do but to assess trees: and vines, as ih former years, i. e., as ‘‘improvemeats.”’ Jf any attempt is made ‘tu exempt! trees and vines under the definition of ‘‘growing crops,”? the Board must in duty take notice. of it when equalizin. values. We have nothing to ds ‘with the policy of exempting trees and vines from assessment. We and you must obey the Constitution as interpreted by the Supreme Court.

' i A True Story That Reads Like a ae WANT to tell this true story in the plainest style and language. Others may weave it into rog rance,'in imagination ¥ or words, if they will. Lieutenant Antony Robinnette,of Blank’s Massachusetts Battery, was born of American parents, but their —parents were natives of ’ * France. Tony was with General B. F. Butler when he entered New Orleans, during our civil war, and one day, not long after arrival, ‘he sauntered into the rambling, shabby French quarter in search of a third or fourth cousin of his mother’s, long a resident of the Crescent City. He did’ not tind the relative sought, or seek him further, for he was dead, but he found the son, keeping a little chemist shop-in a nook of the Cour de Paradis, and much delighted was the very Frenchified far-removed cousin to greet his Yankeerelative, : ‘ Our Lieutenant was a big, smooth-faced, brave, honest boy of good features; the chemist-cousin was small, sharp, quick, thin, yellowish, and could talk like the serpent in Eden. Inexperienced, unsuspecting, Antony gave his friendship and ‘confidence to Louis, and received as gospel al] that shrewd gentleman told him in return. Antony had many leisure hours, day and e¥tning. These, at first spent with Louis, ‘were soon passed in more delightful company, that of the daughter. of Mons Viegron, the aristocrat of the quarter, with whom Louis had wonderfully ingratiated himself, and who made the young officer welcome. by Adele, very sweet sixteen, had been educatedin a convent since the death of her mother,.only after war troubles began was she brought home to cheer her fast-failing father. Louis she did not like; he admired her and was resolved to win her— and her fortune; his vanity rendered—him confident of succéss whenever he should see fit to propose, While Louis talked business with the father,Tony held pleasant converse with Adele; he never thought to analyze his feelings, he only knew that there was a strange, fresh delight to be found in hef companionship; and so the two drifted on for days and weeks. General Banks relieved Butler, the iron hand was replaced by the silken glove; balls and pleasures were offered the people, and Robinnette introduced the dainty httle lady into a new world. Then came the sterner demands of war, the Red river campaign’ was inaugurated and Blank’s battery moved with the column. Antony, full of military fire, hastened to give the glorious news and to say adieu to the kindly people. M. Viegron was not at home—too often the parent or guardian is out of the way. at . fated moments. When Antony began to tell the little maiden of his immediate departure the glories of the battle-field faded fast; when he saw how her cheek paled and her hands trembled, then he realized what it was about to cost him to part from her. His story ended very abruptly; they sat in silence; she tried to speak; she turned her face towards him, her lips moved, but no words came trom them; tears gathered part. Mr. Williams, the orizinal creator of the ‘bad boy,” is one of the liveliest and most mirth-provoking young sters in the profession, whether on or off the stage, and his appearance at every entrance was provocative of the most boisterous hilarity on the part of the audience. Mr. Frank Colburt, as the Dutch ygroceryman, was si:npiy immense, and he greatly increased the estimation in which he is held here as a comedian. Miss Laura Adams, who sustained the part of the ‘bad boy’s’ mother, is one of the most exquisite contralto singers that it has ever been the writer’s fortune to bear, and her duet with her sister, Miss Effie Adams, the ‘bad boy’s’ best girl, was something. to be loug remembered.”’ eo The New Barracks. The new Salvation Army building at the corner of Auburn and Bank streets in Grass Valley is 60 by 45 feet, the walls being 20 feet high and surmounted by ahigh pitch roof. The. main entrance is on Auburn street and there is a side entrance on Bank street. The outside of the building is to be painted a deep red, and the cornices blue and yellow. The inside, up toa height of six feet, will be painted dark blue,surmounted by a four-inch stripe of rea and yellow.

The: Supreme Court.holds, in-the case of White vs. Lee, that the location of a mining claim is incomplete, and therefore void, when the locatiun is not distinctly marked on the ground, so that its boundaries can be readily traced, notwithstanding the posting and recording of notice of location. .

A woman’s smiles will move ajman to wondrous deeds; but a woman’s tears, ah! they will—what will they not do? When Antony left Adele, the ring his mother gave him was banging, with the wicsscd waynes Vet, DIAdeN Ih Her posom, ana the young soldier carried alongcur!of dark hair as near to his heart as he could place it. Itt fortune feil upon. the Union army in the Red river country; one stroke of bad luck and an overwhelming force of Confederates took two guns and a Lieutenant named Antony Robinnetée from Blank’s Massachusetts Battery. The guns were retaken, good as ever, in fight; the Lieutenant was returned, after long delay, a terribly used-up prisoner of war. His father carried him home, where for many months he lay prostrated, mentally and physically, almost unable, almost without desire to breathe and live. Louis the chemist did not find his suit progress very favorably when he came to press it upon Adele, her aversion to him was very plainly exhibited, and when he-carried to her the news of the capture of his cousin by the Co: \ the anguish exhibited by the girl easily conveyed all necessary information to his mind. No letter, of course, was sent to Adele. Antony was not in condition to write or tell the story of his engaged affection. Louis heard from time to time but carefully avoided any mention to Adele, except that the Lieutenant had been exchanged, and the poor child fancied that she was forgotten, Troubles pressed upon her, Her father haa helped the Confederates to the extent of his means; he would not deny this ; three large plantations upon which he depended for: revenue were taken by the United States Government and used as freedmens’ and refugees’ farms. Thus derived of all income, unused te business, Kons. Viegron gave up the fight and life. Adele was orphaned, almost friendless, save, the creole Celestine, who bad nursed her in infancy. This faithful creature toiled for and supported her young mistress during her first prostration of grief, but when Adele awoke to realities she refused to be further dependent upon her servant, and leaving the old home, she secured a situation as teacher to the young and old negroes, occupants of the plantation over which, by ht of inheritance, she was mistress. . uring all this time Louis had persisted 4 his iy rpeineny attentions. Mons. : . in weak con: death bad made him sonernes his estate with Adele. The chemist was hand mm giove now with the ‘‘carpet-baggers’”” who misgoverned and plundered his native Btate; he knew the plantations would soon be returned to their owners and be of great value; to secure the lady as his wife, or entire control of her property, was his grand object. : ‘ To Antony he wrote that their friend was dead, the daughter married and gone to Europe; to Adele he told a lie of Antony’s betrothal with a wealthy lady of the North. Adele believed, though instinctively mistrusting him; of marriage or business she ‘would not hear a word, her grief, she said, ‘was all too new. Her faithful, impulsive Celestine’ hated the “yellow snake’’. and never ceased to rail against him. as [Continued om 24 page.) ‘ . just before . oP ot WM. WOLF’S PRICE_LIST TOR CASEI!

Christian man rightfully seek Life Insurarce ?’ The question now is, ‘Can a Christian man justify himself in neglecting such a duty?’ "HENRY WARD BEECHER. Such is the dicta of two of America’s greatest minds—dne speaking to us from the age of patriotism, the other from the age of progress. In-the wonderful mutations of, business and science which the past half century. has witnessed, it may be urged that neither the application of Bcientific discovery, to. the establishing of a higher civilization, nor the effects of iiberal economic laws, nor of laws fecilitating. commercial and fiaancial exchange, have been as wonde ful as the progress in the science of Life Insurance or as beneficial to the human race. 8 Thirtv years ago a man who applied for an Insurance policy, besides conveying to his neighbors ynpleasant suspicions of his mental decay, had a rather hard bargain on his hands. Every clause of his policy was iran-clad in favor of the Company It was a purely Die to Win Game, And not enly die to win, but you had to die ‘jest so.” Step into Florida, parts of Louisiana end Texas; go to sea—and a whole lot of other places too numerous to mention—and you were either charged an extra rate for your cussedness, or your policy became worthless in the event of death. Errors or misstatements in your application and your medical examination subjected youto the horrible possibility of paying in a lot of money and wiuding up “in the soup.” Your annual premiums must be paid according tothe strict letter of the law; on the stroke of the ‘clock, as it was stated in the policy. One hour, yea, one minute, and your savings of years have been swallowed up by the ravenous monster, Well, all this has changed, and today the man who, having a family does not proudly wave aloft his Insurance policy, announces himself as behind the times, mentally weak, morally improvidentif not viciously selfish, and if he have the appearance of good health his extraordinary neglect to dothe sensible thing by himself and family may arouse in his good neighbors the terrible’ suspicion that he is the “whited sepulchre” of some loathsome and hidden disease, Today your Insurance policy is one of the Simplest [Promises to Pay Known to legal or business forms. It simply says, “Pay your premiums and we will pay your insurance. ”’ Look at your lovely wife and your beautiful children. Look at your widowed mother, the hand that cared for you inthe hours of your weakness, ad is now resting . gently upon you, and rememberevery hour that passes now is hurrying you along to your end, ‘ Take advantage of what Science and centuries of experience have placed in your reach by Insurance. To that lovely wife, to those prattling imnocents, to that saintly form whose eyes, lacking the lustre of youth, and hair white with the frost of age, yettell you a tule of love and. devotion to duty. Give to these, we gay, the assurance that your love ead your duty extend beyond he grave. If you go to South American mines, to South African diamond fields or to partake ofthe succulent ordnge on its native Floridian heath—welk, we guess you'll be a little more careful of yourself than when breathing the pure air, and attending to your routine labor at home in the pine clad Sierras. Should you take a policy today, and in a few years Your ‘Pay-gravel is worked out, Well, we won’t throw you overboard. You have acquired au equity, proportioned to your payments, in your policy,.and that we will give you most cheerfully, But when an Insurance Company says to you—as does the Manhattan Life Insurance Company of New York—“My friend, I am forty years of age and in my day have seen many great financial panics which have shaken the thrones of princes and tottered your Banks and your Railroads, but at no time in my life has any creditor of mine had slightest cause. to. fear my stability, look where you may toinvest your money securely iu America, and you will find that the ‘promise to pay’ signed by your own Government, is the only bond in the market rated as more sound and staple than myown.” Having acquired this information, suppose a special agent of the U. 8. Treasury should call on you today and gay: “The Government would iike ‘to sell you bonds for any amount between $1,000 and $30,000, and if it is not convenient for you to make the investment at once, we will allow you to pay for the bonds in:ten equal annua installments!” And suppose in addition to this, the Government, wishing to make this the most desirable investment in the world, should stipulate in the bond not.only to pay them atthe end-of-the term, but in case of your previous death, to pay them to your family, and at the same time release your family from. paying any further money, would you not at once close with such an offer? And yet this is practically what the Manhattan Life Insurance Company,of New York, has done and is doing. An ordinary endowment Life Insurance policy ig a “ : More profitable investment than a Government Bond. A Four per cent U. 8. Bond for $10,000, at Phe pennant average premium costs about #12.000, _Intwenty-five years time it would amount, principal and interest, to $20,000, The same.sum of $12,0.0 will secure a paid’ np Endowment policy due the same time fot oyer $27,000. This is a $7,000 better return than the Government Bond, with the great added advantage, that incase of his death ateny time during the interim, the iusured man’s family would at once receive the whole $27,000. The Manhattan Life Insurance Company during the past twenty-five years has paid nearly $3,000,000.in death claims and endowment policies on the Pacific Coast without a contest. No company has a better guarantee to offer of liberal and just treatment of future policy holders, The Pacific Const Manages of this Company, who has held the position for twenty-five years, is Mr. John Landers of San Francisco,—whose generosity of heart, and integrity of character both in Insurance and mining affairs have placed him in the front rank of Gaitoraia Aree nauts.

Equalization a letter which svvs: The Tepfcletnre passed an Act approved March 16th, 1889, amending Section’S617 <f the Pol:tical Code so far us to detine the trm “growing crops}’’ to include vines, nut-bearing, fruit and ernamental trees, The intent of this Act gas to-exeapt trees and yines from assestivent. You are directed to disregard this Act and assess trees and vines, as io former yeara, as “‘improvements,” because the Act, so far asit sttempte to exclude trees ard yines from assesement, is clearly unconstitutional. * The Constitution of thie State declares_ that. all property shall be assessed, except certain property, herein named, to be exempt, among which is “growing crops.’’? What is meant by “‘growing crops’’ has received judicial determibation, and by that you’ are to be guided. oe & * Asthe Supreme Court has often decided that the Asressor must obey the Constitution, rather “than the law, and as that Constitution has received the interpretation of the Supreme Court, there is rothing left for you to do but to assess trees: and vines, as ih former years, i. e., as ‘‘improvemeats.”’ Jf any attempt is made ‘tu exempt! trees and vines under the definition of ‘‘growing crops,”? the Board must in duty take notice. of it when equalizin. values. We have nothing to ds ‘with the policy of exempting trees and vines from assessment. We and you must obey the Constitution as interpreted by the Supreme Court.

' i A True Story That Reads Like a ae WANT to tell this true story in the plainest style and language. Others may weave it into rog rance,'in imagination ¥ or words, if they will. Lieutenant Antony Robinnette,of Blank’s Massachusetts Battery, was born of American parents, but their —parents were natives of ’ * France. Tony was with General B. F. Butler when he entered New Orleans, during our civil war, and one day, not long after arrival, ‘he sauntered into the rambling, shabby French quarter in search of a third or fourth cousin of his mother’s, long a resident of the Crescent City. He did’ not tind the relative sought, or seek him further, for he was dead, but he found the son, keeping a little chemist shop-in a nook of the Cour de Paradis, and much delighted was the very Frenchified far-removed cousin to greet his Yankeerelative, : ‘ Our Lieutenant was a big, smooth-faced, brave, honest boy of good features; the chemist-cousin was small, sharp, quick, thin, yellowish, and could talk like the serpent in Eden. Inexperienced, unsuspecting, Antony gave his friendship and ‘confidence to Louis, and received as gospel al] that shrewd gentleman told him in return. Antony had many leisure hours, day and e¥tning. These, at first spent with Louis, ‘were soon passed in more delightful company, that of the daughter. of Mons Viegron, the aristocrat of the quarter, with whom Louis had wonderfully ingratiated himself, and who made the young officer welcome. by Adele, very sweet sixteen, had been educatedin a convent since the death of her mother,.only after war troubles began was she brought home to cheer her fast-failing father. Louis she did not like; he admired her and was resolved to win her— and her fortune; his vanity rendered—him confident of succéss whenever he should see fit to propose, While Louis talked business with the father,Tony held pleasant converse with Adele; he never thought to analyze his feelings, he only knew that there was a strange, fresh delight to be found in hef companionship; and so the two drifted on for days and weeks. General Banks relieved Butler, the iron hand was replaced by the silken glove; balls and pleasures were offered the people, and Robinnette introduced the dainty httle lady into a new world. Then came the sterner demands of war, the Red river campaign’ was inaugurated and Blank’s battery moved with the column. Antony, full of military fire, hastened to give the glorious news and to say adieu to the kindly people. M. Viegron was not at home—too often the parent or guardian is out of the way. at . fated moments. When Antony began to tell the little maiden of his immediate departure the glories of the battle-field faded fast; when he saw how her cheek paled and her hands trembled, then he realized what it was about to cost him to part from her. His story ended very abruptly; they sat in silence; she tried to speak; she turned her face towards him, her lips moved, but no words came trom them; tears gathered part. Mr. Williams, the orizinal creator of the ‘bad boy,” is one of the liveliest and most mirth-provoking young sters in the profession, whether on or off the stage, and his appearance at every entrance was provocative of the most boisterous hilarity on the part of the audience. Mr. Frank Colburt, as the Dutch ygroceryman, was si:npiy immense, and he greatly increased the estimation in which he is held here as a comedian. Miss Laura Adams, who sustained the part of the ‘bad boy’s’ mother, is one of the most exquisite contralto singers that it has ever been the writer’s fortune to bear, and her duet with her sister, Miss Effie Adams, the ‘bad boy’s’ best girl, was something. to be loug remembered.”’ eo The New Barracks. The new Salvation Army building at the corner of Auburn and Bank streets in Grass Valley is 60 by 45 feet, the walls being 20 feet high and surmounted by ahigh pitch roof. The. main entrance is on Auburn street and there is a side entrance on Bank street. The outside of the building is to be painted a deep red, and the cornices blue and yellow.

When Antony left Adele, the ring his mother gave him was banging, with the wicsscd waynes Vet, DIAdeN Ih Her posom, ana the young soldier carried alongcur!of dark hair as near to his heart as he could place it. Itt fortune feil upon. the Union army in the Red river country; one stroke of bad luck and an overwhelming force of Confederates took two guns and a Lieutenant named Antony Robinnetée from Blank’s Massachusetts Battery. The guns were retaken, good as ever, in fight; the Lieutenant was returned, after long delay, a terribly used-up prisoner of war. His father carried him home, where for many months he lay prostrated, mentally and physically, almost unable, almost without desire to breathe and live. Louis the chemist did not find his suit progress very favorably when he came to press it upon Adele, her aversion to him was very plainly exhibited, and when he-carried to her the news of the capture of his cousin by the Co: \ the anguish exhibited by the girl easily conveyed all necessary information to his mind. No letter, of course, was sent to Adele. Antony was not in condition to write or tell the story of his engaged affection. Louis heard from time to time but carefully avoided any mention to Adele, except that the Lieutenant had been exchanged, and the poor child fancied that she was forgotten, Troubles pressed upon her, Her father haa helped the Confederates to the extent of his means; he would not deny this ; three large plantations upon which he depended for: revenue were taken by the United States Government and used as freedmens’ and refugees’ farms. Thus derived of all income, unused te business, Kons. Viegron gave up the fight and life. Adele was orphaned, almost friendless, save, the creole Celestine, who bad nursed her in infancy. This faithful creature toiled for and supported her young mistress during her first prostration of grief, but when Adele awoke to realities she refused to be further dependent upon her servant, and leaving the old home, she secured a situation as teacher to the young and old negroes, occupants of the plantation over which, by ht of inheritance, she was mistress. . uring all this time Louis had persisted 4 his iy rpeineny attentions. Mons. : . in weak con: death bad made him sonernes his estate with Adele. The chemist was hand mm giove now with the ‘‘carpet-baggers’”” who misgoverned and plundered his native Btate; he knew the plantations would soon be returned to their owners and be of great value; to secure the lady as his wife, or entire control of her property, was his grand object. : ‘ To Antony he wrote that their friend was dead, the daughter married and gone to Europe; to Adele he told a lie of Antony’s betrothal with a wealthy lady of the North. Adele believed, though instinctively mistrusting him; of marriage or business she ‘would not hear a word, her grief, she said, ‘was all too new. Her faithful, impulsive Celestine’ hated the “yellow snake’’. and never ceased to rail against him. as [Continued om 24 page.) ‘ . just before . oP ot WM. WOLF’S PRICE_LIST TOR CASEI!

Christian man rightfully seek Life Insurarce ?’ The question now is, ‘Can a Christian man justify himself in neglecting such a duty?’ "HENRY WARD BEECHER. Such is the dicta of two of America’s greatest minds—dne speaking to us from the age of patriotism, the other from the age of progress. In-the wonderful mutations of, business and science which the past half century. has witnessed, it may be urged that neither the application of Bcientific discovery, to. the establishing of a higher civilization, nor the effects of iiberal economic laws, nor of laws fecilitating. commercial and fiaancial exchange, have been as wonde ful as the progress in the science of Life Insurance or as beneficial to the human race. 8 Thirtv years ago a man who applied for an Insurance policy, besides conveying to his neighbors ynpleasant suspicions of his mental decay, had a rather hard bargain on his hands. Every clause of his policy was iran-clad in favor of the Company It was a purely Die to Win Game, And not enly die to win, but you had to die ‘jest so.” Step into Florida, parts of Louisiana end Texas; go to sea—and a whole lot of other places too numerous to mention—and you were either charged an extra rate for your cussedness, or your policy became worthless in the event of death. Errors or misstatements in your application and your medical examination subjected youto the horrible possibility of paying in a lot of money and wiuding up “in the soup.” Your annual premiums must be paid according tothe strict letter of the law; on the stroke of the ‘clock, as it was stated in the policy. One hour, yea, one minute, and your savings of years have been swallowed up by the ravenous monster, Well, all this has changed, and today the man who, having a family does not proudly wave aloft his Insurance policy, announces himself as behind the times, mentally weak, morally improvidentif not viciously selfish, and if he have the appearance of good health his extraordinary neglect to dothe sensible thing by himself and family may arouse in his good neighbors the terrible’ suspicion that he is the “whited sepulchre” of some loathsome and hidden disease, Today your Insurance policy is one of the Simplest [Promises to Pay Known to legal or business forms. It simply says, “Pay your premiums and we will pay your insurance. ”’ Look at your lovely wife and your beautiful children. Look at your widowed mother, the hand that cared for you inthe hours of your weakness, ad is now resting . gently upon you, and rememberevery hour that passes now is hurrying you along to your end, ‘ Take advantage of what Science and centuries of experience have placed in your reach by Insurance. To that lovely wife, to those prattling imnocents, to that saintly form whose eyes, lacking the lustre of youth, and hair white with the frost of age, yettell you a tule of love and. devotion to duty. Give to these, we gay, the assurance that your love ead your duty extend beyond he grave. If you go to South American mines, to South African diamond fields or to partake ofthe succulent ordnge on its native Floridian heath—welk, we guess you'll be a little more careful of yourself than when breathing the pure air, and attending to your routine labor at home in the pine clad Sierras. Should you take a policy today, and in a few years Your ‘Pay-gravel is worked out, Well, we won’t throw you overboard. You have acquired au equity, proportioned to your payments, in your policy,.and that we will give you most cheerfully, But when an Insurance Company says to you—as does the Manhattan Life Insurance Company of New York—“My friend, I am forty years of age and in my day have seen many great financial panics which have shaken the thrones of princes and tottered your Banks and your Railroads, but at no time in my life has any creditor of mine had slightest cause. to. fear my stability, look where you may toinvest your money securely iu America, and you will find that the ‘promise to pay’ signed by your own Government, is the only bond in the market rated as more sound and staple than myown.” Having acquired this information, suppose a special agent of the U. 8. Treasury should call on you today and gay: “The Government would iike ‘to sell you bonds for any amount between $1,000 and $30,000, and if it is not convenient for you to make the investment at once, we will allow you to pay for the bonds in:ten equal annua installments!” And suppose in addition to this, the Government, wishing to make this the most desirable investment in the world, should stipulate in the bond not.only to pay them atthe end-of-the term, but in case of your previous death, to pay them to your family, and at the same time release your family from. paying any further money, would you not at once close with such an offer? And yet this is practically what the Manhattan Life Insurance Company,of New York, has done and is doing. An ordinary endowment Life Insurance policy ig a “ : More profitable investment than a Government Bond. A Four per cent U. 8. Bond for $10,000, at Phe pennant average premium costs about #12.000, _Intwenty-five years time it would amount, principal and interest, to $20,000, The same.sum of $12,0.0 will secure a paid’ np Endowment policy due the same time fot oyer $27,000. This is a $7,000 better return than the Government Bond, with the great added advantage, that incase of his death ateny time during the interim, the iusured man’s family would at once receive the whole $27,000. The Manhattan Life Insurance Company during the past twenty-five years has paid nearly $3,000,000.in death claims and endowment policies on the Pacific Coast without a contest. No company has a better guarantee to offer of liberal and just treatment of future policy holders, The Pacific Const Manages of this Company, who has held the position for twenty-five years, is Mr. John Landers of San Francisco,—whose generosity of heart, and integrity of character both in Insurance and mining affairs have placed him in the front rank of Gaitoraia Aree nauts.
