A HIGHER ASSESSMENT.

Two general charges have been made
by the fusion press; one, that while the
republican equalization board of the
state has raised the valuation of the rail-
roads largely, yet the same board has al
so advanced the assessment of farm
land and other farm property sufficient
to balance the railroad assessment thus,
practically leaving the railroad taxes
about the same as before.
A second charge is similar to the
above as to assessments of banks
and other corporate interests.
We have not space and the reader
has not time to wade through long col
umns of figures, but we will give a few
generalizations which are taken from Of
fetal sources.
In 80 counties of this state. only four
counties show an increased valuation
per acre for farm land for 1898 over the
figures of 1894 (populist administration
and the highest of these is Cavalier
county and amounts to only % cents per
acre, which with the development there
the last four years is very reasonable.
In six counties there is no change
whatever, hetweer 1894 and 1885,. In
every other county, there has been re.
duction on farm lands since 1894 and the
greatest reduction in any county is in
our own Pembina. In 1894 our farm
lands were raised by the state equaliza-
ton board almost 80 per cent over the
assessors figures and amounted to an
average of $5.S7 per acre for every farm
in the county. The assessment of 1883
is $3.50 per acre, decrease of $l.8S per
acre. Cass, Grand Forks, Traill and
other counties all show large decreased
assessments for the same years.
The next most valuable possession OF
the farmer is horses. And almost simi-
lar decreased assessment figures are
shown on this class of property. Eleven
counties, all western range counties,
show an increase, while in all other
counties there is decrease. In 1894
Pembina county horses were valued at
$40. in 1898 $36.13. In some other elias.
ses of farm property assessments have
been raised and others lowered, but the
net result is, that in comparison with
other property farmers are assessed less
than in 1894 when the pops were in pow
er. Any farmer can verify these figures
by looking up his old tax receipts, not
perhaps by the amount of taxes paid
that depends on the rates levied and the
total amount of property and most farm
ers have more now than then-but by
the average valuation shown on the tax
receipts.

THE NEED OF CONVENTIONS.
The Pembina PIONEER EXPRESS

says:
"a convention is a necessity; there is no other
Known method to choose state officers, and we
doubt it any other method could be invented that
would be practical. lfso, 1t would have been
found out long ago, for the evils of the cancus
and convention system are not recent dis
covery."
But is not that strange statement in
view of the fact that the nominating con-
vention is purely an American "institu.
ton" and exists nowhere else on earth
than in the United States.-Park River
Gazette.
We were talking about state conven-
tions, and the above criticism of Bro.
Wyard would indicate that in some other
countries they nominated state officers in

Countless homes in every city in America
have been saved from the sad loss of some
despairing member by Paine's celery COM
pound.
The story of the life-work of the dis
coverer of this world famed remedy is IA
miliar to most readers. The likeness of
Dartmouth's greatest professor Prof. Edward
f. Phelps, NJ. d, LII. D., given above, is the
best portrait of him yet printed.
Excepting its handful of magnificent
statesmen and its military heroes, says the
most recent writer upon and critic of America,
"the people owe more to Dartmouth's physi-
an-teacher than to any other one man.
In every walk of life. among the highest
oilice-holders at the national capital in the
homes of the best people in the large cities,
among the everyday folks of the country,
families in comfortable circumstances, fami-
lies that live from hand to mouth, and could
not, if they wished, afford tho services of
any but an ordinary physician-everywher
have met people to whom Paine's celery
compound has been a blessing"
1t was the world famed discovery by Prof
Phelps Of an infallible cure for those fearful
ills that result from an impaired nervous sys-
TEN and impure blood which has endeared the
great doctor to he world and made his life
| an era in the practice of medicine.
Prof. Phelps was born in Connecticut and
graduated in medicine at Yale.
His unusual talent soon brought him repu-
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1898-10-22

tatiOn and prominence among his professiona
brethren. First he was elected to the profess
sOrship of anatomy and surgery in the Yer
mont University Next he was appointed
lecturer on materia medica and medical
botany in Dartmouth College. The next year
he was chosen professor of the chair then
vacated by Prof. Robby and occupied the
chair, the most important one in the country,
at the time when he first formulated his most
remarkable prescription.
Prof Phelps has given to his profession
in Paine's celery compound positive cure
for sleeplessness, wasting strength, dyspepsia,
biliOusness. liver complaint, neuralgia, rheu-
matism, all nervous diseases and kidney
troubles. 1t is the only specific recognized
and prescribed to-day by the best physicians
for diseases arising from debilitated nervous
system, For such complaints Paine celery
compound succeeds again and again where
everything else fails.
No remedy was ever so highly recon-
mended, because none ever accomplishes so
much.
Paine's celery compound stands without
competition for feeding exhausted nerves and
building up the strength of the body. 1t
cures radically and permanently. A healthy
increase in appetite and corresponding gain
in weight and good spirits follow the use of
Paines celery compound. 1t is the most
remarkable medical achievement of this last
half of the nineteenth century.

VICTIM OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

Sensational Testimony at the Inquest
on uaroId Trcdcric's Body.
London. Oct. 22-The inquest over
the remains of Harold Frederic, the
newspaper correspondent and author,
who died suddenly on Wednesday
morning at Haueley of heart disease,
was adjourned yesterday until Wednes-
day next The evidence presented was
somewhat sensational.
Mr. Frederic's daughter Ruth said
her father did not believe in doctors.
She added that it was with his consent,
but under the influence of others, that
Mrs. Mills, a Christian scientist, was
summoned to attend him.
Kate Lyon. a member Of the Frederic
household. testified that the deceased
had asked her to call in Mrs. Mills, and
the latter came to the house and ex-
pounded the system followed by the
Christian scientists. On the same day
Mr. Frederic dismissed the doctors who
had been in attendance on him. At
the request of friends of the sick man
the doctors were again summoned but
the deceased informed them that when
they had previously been attending him
he had not followed their directions.
Drs. Brown and Frieberger, the ply
sicians who had attended Mr.. Fred
eric, said the deceased had suffered
from rheumatic fever and that he was
paralyzed on one side. His death, they
asserted. was due to syncope Both de-
clared their belief that with proper
treatment the patient would have re-
covered.
1t is expected that Mrs. Mills will
be examined on Wednesday.

The Case Against Inventor Maxim.

POughkeepsie, n. Y, oct. 22.-The
charges of abandonment and bigamy
brought against Hiram Maxim the gun
inventor, by Helon Leighton, of this
city, were withdrawn before Recorder
S. II. Brown yesterday, and Mr.. Maxim
was discharged and his bondsmen re-
leased from their obligations. At the
same time Maxim was served with a
summons in an action for damages
brought against him by Miss Leighton.
The plaintiffs attorney said he would
be prepared to prove that Maxim rep
resented himself as a single man and
inveigled Miss Leighton into a worth
less marriage when she was 16 years of
age, subsequently, casting her off.
