Board of Equalization.

There was little done at the meeting of the
board of equalization yesterday. Some time
was occupied in discussing the powers of the
board to raise OF reduce the assessments on
property without simmoning the owners
before them. The county attorney, who was
notified, attended, and requested thst the
questions they wished to submit to him be
reduced to writing.
The question of bank stocks then came
up, and it was resolved that the assessment
OF all bank stock in Ramsey county, except
savings banks, be raised to 100 cents on the
dollar, exclusive of real estate owned by the
several banks.
1t was decided by the board as matter of
courtesy, to notify the presidents of the
banks so that they can meet the board in the
morning, (this morning,) at 10 o'clock.
The board adjourned till this morning at
10 A. NJ.
After the adjournment of the board petit
lions from John Summes. for reduction on
his property, lots and buildings, be made to
S27 800; and from DR.. Merrill, to reduce the
assessment on block thirty four, Lyman Day-
tons addition. from $5,250 to $4,000. The
petitions will be acted on to-day.

The State fair management seems deter
mined to leave nothing undone on their part
to render the forthcoming exposition at st.

attractions to any similar exhibition ever
before given in the Northwest. The GLOBE
has already given the trotting and racing
programme, the richest in prizes
offered by any association this
year; the engagement for exhibition
trots of Rarus and Great Eastern. the two
fastest horses in the world; the bench show;
the hurdle racing and cross country sports;
Bogardus, the champion wing shot of the
world, and numerous other specialties.
In addition to ali these, and many other
features, a real novelty will be exhibitions by
the celebrated stud of Shetland ponies, be-
tween thirty and forty in number, owned
by Col. John Bishop of Beloit,
Wis. These ponies are of all ages
and are thoroughly trained. They will be
exhibited in regular ring to Roman
chariots, under the saddle and in various
tricks. At the head of the stud stands

United States imported from the West

will be continuous during the day, and will

Regular Trains from To-Day.
Another of the extensions being made this
season to the railroads centering in st. Paul,
is completed, and to-day a new business
community, surrounded and backed by
rich agricultural community, is brought in
to direct rail connection with st. Paul, the
commercial emporium of the Northwest.
The road thus completed is the Worthington
u Sioux Falls branch of the st. Paul 81
Sioux City railroad. The branch runs from
Worthington, Mobiles county, thence through
Rock county, Minnesota, to Sioux Falls,
Mlnnehaha county, Dakota, a dis
lance of sixty-two miles. The line was com
menced last season, and completed to Beaver
Creek, Rock county, last fall. This spring
the work was resumed, and has been vigor-
ously prosecuted to completion. The work
from Beaver Creek has been heavy, the
country being undulating, requiring cuts and
ills, with two bridges, one across Split Rock
Greek, and the other over Big Sioux River,
the latter requiring long trestle approaches,
and Howe truss span. The work of sur
facing, putting in side tracks, ETC., has
fallowed Immediately after the
track-layers, so that though only
finished through to Sioux Falls last night, the
track is in condition for immediate use, and
regular trains will commence running from
to-day, as follows: Leave Worthington GAS
A. NJ, arriving at Sioux Falls at 11:45:
leave Sioux Falls at 1.15 p NJ, and reach
Worthington at in the evening.
The road runs through very rich agri-
cultural country, which is being rapidly set
tied, and has its terminus in the very garden
of southeastern Dakota, with rapidly de-
veloping country beyond, and must prove
paying investment from the start, aside from
Its importance as feeder to the main line.
