AN appalling number of suicides have occurred in st. Petersburg and other Russian cities recently. the victims of saIf-aestruetion having been mainly of tho better class. IL is thought that dread Of exposure growing out of the lata wholesale arrests of Nihilists in Paris is tho cause.

Equalizing Taxation.

The county commissioners, sitting as
a board of equalization, spent all of last
week on the assessment rolls, in the
endeavOr to secure an equitable adjust
ment of the burdens of taxation. In
probably hundred individual cases
they had to lower or increase values
fixed by the township assessors. In
Aetna and ElwOod townships all cattle
were raised Is cents per head in Lake
City township 80 cents. But the most
important change was made in the value
of Kiowa real estate, perpendicular
cut of 80 per cent. on real estate and
improvements being made. Last year
the real estate values of that city were
assessed at $217 600; then the lnhabit-
ants objected, and had their "out-lots''
taken from the city, and assessed as
country real estate, and this dropped
the total to $4,000 as assessed by the
assessor this year. Then the city,
through Mayor Mason, went before the
board and secured another cut of 80 per
cent, thus dropping the total real es-
tate assessment of the city of Klowa to
about $4,000! The people down there
claim that fictitious valuations are no
longer profitable advertisement, and
they are willing to lose some of the
glory in order to save some of the hard
earned cash that they would have to pay
out for taxes

The Judgship.

1t is only two weeks from to-day I'M
til the republican primaries will be held
to select delegates to 2 county conVen-
ton that will send delegates to the judi
cial convention at Harper. The fight in
this county is between Judge Ellis and
Judge Edwards and the friends of each
candidate are getting down to hard
work. 1t is not our fight, but we can
not help looking on with some interest,
and it is our guess that Judge Ellis will
carly the county. Here in Medicine
Lodge the contest will probably be the
most exciting, both candidates regard
ing this precinct as the deciding point
Unquestionably Judge Ellis made
friends during the last two terms OF
court. for he eyinced a disposition to
dispose of the business as rapidly as
possible. Judge Edwards is an old
soldier, commander OF the G. A. r.
post at this place, and that backing
will be of substantial service TO him.
Then, he has taken part II every polit
ieal campaign since he came here and
the ofiiee-holders are friendly to him
while some of them say that Judge Ell
is has never assisted them in getting
lold of public teat. Before primary
lay, the 18th, there will be some hard
work done and if the alliance republi-
:ans can be induced to go TO the pl1.s..
ries, there will be several warm con-
tests. 1t is said. however. that the al
lance men will not take part in the
primaries of either political party.

Danced Forty Miles.

A young civil engineer who came
home to Buffalo last week after a
four months expedition through the
Black Hills with a government sur
veying party, told the following
story:
"One evening last summer we pitch
ed camp, aud after supper the COM
manding officer in the party ordered
me 10 make a detour to a certain
point further north. The distance by
the road | was told 70 take was be
lieved to be about 4 miles, but TO get
it exactly / was given a pedometer to
carry in my pocket. On the way
came to a small mining settlement,
and dance was going on in the big
gest saloon.
AS had plenty Of time on my
hands / went in and joined in the
dance and never rested a leg until
midnight. then proceeded TO finish
INV detour, got back TO camp and
turned in. In the morning l was
asked TO report, and without a
thought handed over the pedome-
ter. The officer looked at IL in amaze
ment and then exclaimed, 'forty-four
miles Where on earth did you 90
last nightT' / was perpleIed at first
myself and could not explain my
wonderful record. and it was not un-
til later that recalled the dance, but
can't believe that / danced forty miles
in a single evening"

Strong Men Held Their Breath.

Mr.. Randolf announced that the
lady would perform an act on the
slack wire. She balanced herself IN
the wire and tipped back and forth.
while the audience looked on with
that apathy and air of being half
bored. which cbarncterizes all shows
which are thoroughly familiar TO the
theater and circus patron.
All at once the fair performer drew
a few pins from the bay window OF
her dress and drew that garment on
leaving her standing on one foot,
clad In an elaborate lace skirt.
The audience awaked from its In
difference, and the show becomes en-
dowed with a new interest.
More pins were extracted and over
her head went the skirt.
The audience became excited.
Next the bus-dress improver came
of. II had no longer any dress to
improve, and its occupation was
gone.
The audience began to speculate ~
to where the disrobing process would
end, and pistol shot or dog 6ght
would not have served at that mo-
ment TO distract its attention.
BY this time the lady on the wire
had got down apparently TO the
snowy garment which a. adapted to
the male form Is known as shirt.
The audience craned its neck, so TO
speak, and as the lady showed an In
tention Of removing even that gar
ment. strong men held their breath
In disInay, wonder, and curiosity,
while the weakened modest ones COW
cred their faces with their bands.
Well. the what dye call IL came on,
and-nothing more shocking Was re-
yealed than a handsome and very
shapeIy young woman clad In the reg
ular tights and trunks that all we'll
regulated slack wire and tsapezs ar
fists are wont to wear.
