FUNERAL SERVICES
Over Remains Of Late Secretary Of Stat'
Gresham at Washington.

Washington, May 29.-The funeral ser
vices over the remains of the late Secre-
tary of State Gresham took place from the
White House at 8. 80 A. NJ. The Presi-
dent and cabinet officers were present
with all the officials and foreign represen-
tatives in Washington.
The remains reached the executive
Mansion at g. 40. Mrs. Gresham was too
i'll to accompany them. She tainted re-
peatedly and was at last removed to her
private apartments, where she remained
until she left for the railway station. As
the casket left the hotel the President and
his cabinet formed in double column as a
guard of honor on each side.
After the services, the President and
Mrs. Cleveland withdrew, followed by
the cabinet party Nearly all present
passed around the casket, which was not
closed until the last person who so de-
sired had viewed the remains. At II
the services were concluded and the last
look at the dead secretary was taken. The
hearse drove up and bugle call signalled
the troops to fall in line.
The family of the dead secretary did not
accompany the procession, but drove
directly to the station from the hotel
I It was almost noon when the President
and the cabinet reached the depot and en-
barked. Mr.. Cleveland plainly showed
the effect of his recent illness. His face
was flushed and as he stood with barred
head the perspiration streamed down his
face.
Although nothing had been said about
it, it was noticed that DR.. O'Reilley at
with the party. 1t was given out that
this was done ON Mrs. Gresham's account,
but it is believed that the condition of the
President had as much to do with the
presence of the doctor as anything else.

tracts to $40 per acre, just what the
court has fixed it. But, upon the pro-
test of the assessor, supplemented by
the wall of some of the citizens, ma
jority of the board changed their minds,
and rehearing was called, and in
spite of the certain prospect of law
suit which threatened to involve the
lots in the Scott and Van Fps additions
the assessment was raised to the former
figures.
In previous issue of The REPUBLI-
CAN you gave Mr.. Levinger deserved
credit for his efforts to effect the re-
duction and prevent the subsequent
action He was not alone in the effort.
Mr.. Mccormick in his assessment of
1894, seeing that the values upon lands
was too high in comparison with other
property, as previously assessed, made
material reduction, but in 1895 he
raised the price to the figures made
last year by the board, On being in
terrogated on the witness stand as to
his reasons, his reply in substance was
that he was convinced by the judg-
ment of eight men that his Judgment
was wrong, when, as they themselves
say, they were not acting on their
judgment as to values. in raising the
valuation and the court has decided,
that Mr.. Mccormick was right in his
own estimate
MoRAL-The judgment of one man
without an AK may be better than that
of eight with axes to grind.
The wrong may be found in the action
of the board of equalization in raising
| the first assessment, then in the asses
sor adopting these figures for his
values in 1895. The remedy is appar-
ent. A fair and equitable valuation
upon all property so that the burden
of taxation may fall upon eachtaXpayer
in exact ratio to his ownership. That
| was compelled to appear in an action
against the city very much regret.
The small amount of money Incidentally
involved played no part as a c3SnS bflA
If conclude that a brief history of the
transaction will be interesting or in
structive to our citizens | will let the
article terminate this, to me, unpleas
ant series. e. B. Bracy.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
Some of Their Duties and What They are
Accomplishing.

Some of Their Duties and What They are
Accomplishing.
On July 1st the South Dakota rail-
road commissions headquarters were
removed from Pierre to Mitchell, where
all business of the commission is trans.
acted. The commission is composed of
the following members: Geo. A. Johns
ton. chairman, Mitchell, E. F. Conklin,
Clark: j. r. Brennan Rapid City, Jay
Manson, secretary, Mitchell. After
an operation of six weeks the commits
sion has transacted considerable busi-
ness and nearly every mail brings them
complaints from various parts of the
state which Chairman Johnston usually
Investigates personally. Recently the
commission has boon busy issuing ware
house licenses, as according TO the law
every warehouse in the state must pay
an annual license of $780, but failing
in this they have to pay penalty of
5000 per day until the law is complied
with. Frequent applications are made
| for new warehouse sites and in such in
stances the railroad company is notified
of such request when a hearing is
granted to see whether the public in
tere3t really demands the building.
One of the things the commission needs
badly is a correct roailroad map of all
lines in the state. but as the appro-
priation for the commission was cut
down quite largely by the legislature
it is now out of the question, although
requests are made at the office from
nearly every state in the union for such
a map.
Frequently complaints are received
by the commission regarding the in
equality of freight rates and in nearly
every case when brought to the attention
the railroad company by the commits
sion the company usually accedes to
the request.
Commissioner Johnston puts in con-
siderable Of his time travelling through
the state and is endeavoring to make
the commission Of some benefit to the
: people of the state. There are plenty
, of opportunities to do so and every
case that comes to their attention is
7 disposed of in business-like way. Mr.
! Johnston is assisted in his clerical
I work by Jay Manson, who is we'll fitted
y for the position.

Shot in the Side.

Sunday afternoon John Wheeler and
L. Wilde were out hunting, about II
miles north of town, driving around
in cart. A loaded gun lay between
them. with the muzzle pointing toward
Wheelers side and in some way the
gun discharged, portion of the con-
tents entering Wheelers side. Neither
claimed to hear the gun go off, pro-
baby owing to the excitement. The
discharge made a rather bad flesh
wound and at first Wheeler thought he
was going to die. He was taken to q
neig hbors home where he will remain
until he can be moved. 1t was a pretty
close call and young Wheeler is thank
full that the gun was not loaded fol

Had II Wicked Fight.

A pretty hard fight occurred at A ber-
deen Sunday evening between Con
Healey and Neil Whallon, both we'll
known in Mitchell railroad circles and
party of harvest hands. In referring
to the fight the Aberdeen News says:
"Both the railroaders were struck over
the head and shoulders with sections Of
rubber hose and an instrument alleged
to have been made OF gas pipe. Whal-
lon was knocked senseless at the first
attack and remained so for long time
after the sanguinary combat. Healey
was also quite badly hurt, but managed
to get his back to wall and was put
ting up stiff fight, having knocked
one of the harvesters hors de combat
when Policeman Charles Holmes arriv
ed on the scene and put an end to pro
ceedings. Whallon was taken away by
his friends, and Healy, who was pu
under arrest, was, afterward per
mitted to depart, his story of the affai
seeming to be perfectly straight ant
going to show he was not the aggres

What an Age-Herald Representative Saw
 While Visiting Mobile.

w n1ie V 1SlulnR nOplles
 An Age-Herald representative, while in Mobile Monday, had occasion to enter the Martinez Cigar Manufacturing com pany's plant, at 50 South Water street, and was surprised at what he saw On the ground floor he met MT. Lawrence Agee, formerly sheriff of Marengo county, who is now the affable and eff cient secretary and treasurer of the com pany, and an old acquaintance, and to- gether they went through the factory. On the lower floor in great stacks stood cases of cigars, all having the brand, "T D. s." and on inquiry the visitor learned that there were ready for ship ment 500,000 of this particular brand. A visit to the manufacturing depart ment showed expert cigar makers, both Americans and Cubans, buslly engaged in making cigars for domestic and ex- port trade. The raw tobacco, as shown the visitor, and from his best judgment, appeared to be the best that could be procured, both of native and foreign growth The old saying of proving the pudding by chewing the bag was veri- fled when a weed" fresh from the hands of the cigar maker was handed the visitor and he tried it, finding that it was equal to anything he had ever tried. It was a "T. D. s." and, in common yer nacular, was a "Jim Dandy" This brand, it was learned, is handled by Nabers. Morrow & Sinnige, this city, and from orders shown the brand is a prime favorite here.
 The officers of this company are all Alabamians, as follows: P. J. Lyons, president; w. l.. Agee, secretary and treasurer; John E. Michael vice-presi- dent, and R. S. Martinez, superintendent.
