The REGISTER recognizes the value
Of railroads to this state, but it con-
tends that no corporation has right
to make its own rates and then fix its
per cent Of taxation. This is what
the railroads have practically done,
are doing and will continue to do un-
less the people thwart them at the
polls next Tuesday.

or Interest to BrOokings County Voters

OF Interest to Brookings County Voters.
For some time rumor has been
current to the effect that certain
funds being paid into the county
treasury was not being properly ap-
portioned. That several thousand
dollars belonging to the several town.
ships Of this county was being dumped
into the county fund to pay county
warrants. This rumor coming to the
ears Of Stewart Young, county COM
missioner of the I'd district, he pro-
ceeded to investigate the matter.
Taking with him John Alton, a we'll
known citizen Of Brookings and an
expert bookkeeper, Mr.. Young went
to the court house and made an ex-
animation Of the records and the fol-
lowing is their report:
"We find upon examination of the
records of this county that the total
amount of penalty and interest COL
lected from Marcn 1st, 1893, to Oct.
lst., 1898, is sl6,472.34. OF this
amount there has been apportioned to
the state fund $2,3l3.O1; to Brookings
city school and civil fund, $2,O43 65.
The balance, $l2,1l5.6S, has been
placed Ia the county fund and not
properly apportioned to the various
townships and villages Of the county.
STEWART Young,
JOHN ALTON"
This means that, while Brookings
city has been getting and using its
proper apportionment of the penalty
and interest fund, the different towr-
ships and villages have not, and that
there is now due to the several town
ships of Brookings county between
5000 and $500 each.
The records of the county are open
for the inspection Of every voter who
may wish to corroberate the state
ment made by Mr.. Young and Mr..
Alton.
Why is it that the taxpayers of the
rural districts are not getting their
equal proportion with the city of
Brookings? As it Is the duty of the
treasurer and county auditor to ap-
portion those collections to their
several funds, why has it not been
dOne?- -Brookings Individual.

MARK Twain's Appetite Cure.

Mark Twain's latest European exploit is
to be treated at an appetite cure" in Bo-
hemia. He does justice to this institution
in the August Cosmopolitan. When he ar
rived theSdoctor looked him over
"The mere sight of food offends you,
does it?" said the doctor
More II revolts me" said Mark.
The doctor considered awhile. then got
out a long menu and ran his eye slowly
down St
II think" said he that what you need
60 eat is-but here, choose for yourself"
Il glanced at the list. and my stomach
threw handspring. OF all the barba-
rious iayouts THAI were ever cOntrived this
was the most atrocious AT the top stood
tough, undone, overdue tripe, garnished
with garlic; half way down the bill stood
the bottom stood sailor boots,
softened with tallow - served raw.
The wide intervals of the bill
were packed with dishes calculated to in
suit cannibal"
The doctor did not press him to eat, but
invited him to go to his room. When they
got him there they locked him in and left
him.
when I had been without food forty
five hours" says the patient Il ran
eagerly 10 the bell and ordered the second
dish in the bib which was a sort of
dumpings containing a compost made of
caviar and tar.
1T was refused me. During the next
fifteen hours 1 visited the bell every now
and then and ordered a dish that was fur
ther down the list. Always a refusal. But
l was conquering prejudice after preju-
dice right along; 1 was making sure prog
ress; I was creeping up on No. 10 with
deadly certainty. and my heart beat fast
er and faster, my hopes rose higher and
higher.
AT last when food had not passed my
lips for sixty hours victory was mine

% oh, this is noble; this is splendid
but l knew 1 could do it, the system never

Never was anything so delicious in
the world; and YET, as a rule, I don't care
for game. But don't interrupt me, don't
Il can't spare my mouth, l really can't
Then the doctor said:
The cure is perfect. There is no more
doubt nor danger. Let the poultry alone;
can trust you with a beefsteak now
THE beefsteak came-as much as a
basketful of it-with potatoes, and Vienna
bread and coffee; and I ate a meal then
that was worth all the costly preparation
had made for it, And dripped tears of
gratitude into the gravy all the time

Sherlock Holmes Parallel.

A most remarkable literary coincident
is pointed out by a writer in Literature,
who says 1t would be interesting to know
if DR.. Conan Doyle, before creating
Sherlock Holmes had read a certain
anecdote recorded by the Jesuit traveller
CharleVOiX, who died in 1851 The story
is of a red Indian from whose wigwam a
piece of meat had been stolen, and who
promptly set out in pursuit of the thief
He had not proceeded far before he met
with some persons, of whom he inquired
whether they had seen a little old white
man with a short gun, accompanied by
small dog with a short tail. Asked how
he could thus infinitely describe a man
whom he had never seen, the Indian an
sWered:
THE thief 1 know is a little man by his
having made a pile of stones 10 stand
upon in order to reach the venison; that
he is an old man 1 know by his short
steps which I have traced over the leaves
! know by his turning out his toes when
he walks, which an Indian never does.
His gun 1 know 10 be short by the mark
the muzzle made in rubbing the bark off
the tree on which il leaned; that his dog
as small I know by his tracks, and that
he has a short tail l discovered by the
mark il made in the dust where he was
sitting at the time his master was taking
down the meat"
This certainly is so much like the ratio
cinadOn Of Sherlock Holmes that il al
most reads like a parody of it.
