to all the local organizations, but the
majority inclined towards the work OF
the city improvement society and the
enforcement Of the city ordinances. The
curfew laws were also mentioned.
II the united influence and force Of
all the Lincoln women could be brought
to bear on any good work, the result
would be we'll worth the extra effort

OF its members. The Rev. Cheeseman

mental meeting at the close Of the study
of Tennyson. 1t embraced the plots
and analysis Of tho Arthurian epics.
The length and scope Of the article rem
der detailed report impossible. Mrs.
EImen gave the sources from which
Tennyson derived the legends. with the
different and more spiritual aspect
woven about them by his genius.
The story and meaning Of each idyl
was followed, from the meeting Of Ar:
thur and Guinevere until the three dark
queens with their crowns Of gold, came
in the mysterious barge to bear King
Arthur away to immortality. The pa
per occupied more than an hour in it's
delivery, which was severe test Of it's
sustained interest, but the interest did
not flag. Mrs. Elmen's clear tones
added much to the pleasure OF her hear
ers, and she also read many Of Tenny-
sons own poetical lines with natural
charm, all her own.
The only musical number on the pro.
gram was 1.-THE Swallows' by Cowen,
which was sung by Miss Daisy futile,
to the great enjo, ment Of tie club. As
an encore, Miss futile gave q bright
little song with the refrain Say Yes,
Mignop, Say Yes!'

showing wide difference OF opinion as
to the benefits to be derived from

Miss Kingsley. who had given the
subject an exhaustive study from the
following photography, felt that her
research had broadened her views and
strengthened her faith, and that scien-

full remarks in regard TO the teacher
who aspires to teach these little ones.
She urges that they make careful
preparation for this work by taking the
fall course at some good training school
for kiudergai tners. Apropos OF the dis.
cussion now pending before our school
board upon raising the age for admis-
sion to school. she makes an earnest
plea for early entrance, claiming that
many OF the children cannot stay after
they are twelve or fifteen years Of age,
and that by raising the entrance age to
six many Of them are deprived Of one
year, which shortens their already
meaQer term Of school lie. Mrs. Tucker
gives some interesting history az follows:
In 1870 there were five kindergsrtens
in the United States; today there are
more than 1000. The movement has
passed the experimental stage. Its
adoption as part Of the public school
system throughout the United States is
question Of time only.
The cities in which the experiment
has been made are unanimous in the
opinion that time is actually saved by
the attendance Of children at the kin.
dergarten for a year.
A very satisfactory arrangement has
been az follows: The children enter at
five. attend half day, the usual kinder.
garten session, for half a year; those
who are considered sufficiently devel.
oped then attend all day, for the remain
der Of the year, taking primary work in
the afternoon, and advanced kindergar.
ten work in the morning. 1t has been
proven by experience and careful stats.
tics. that the whole work Of the first
year can be done in that time, with
much greater ease to the teacher and
better development for the Child and
larger per cent Of children are promoted
than under the old system Of entering
at once on the "three Rs"

ably presented the theories and lines OF
evidence obtained through higher criti-
cism. The members OF the club were

Several thought that such study not

ASSESSMENT RAISED.
Lack of Uniformity in the Stock In
demnity Levy.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena. Aug. 25.-The equalized assess
ment OF Lewis and Clarke county received
by the state board of equalization shows
an increase of si66, ,754 over the same fig
ures last year, and an increase of 1851, $50
over the assessment figures for the year
the largest increase returned by any
county board of equalization.
The assessment of cattle and sheep de-
cided upon by the state board of equaliza-
ton increases the county boards figures
40 per cent. on beef cattle, SO per cent.
yearlings, 20 per cent. on 2-year-ods,
reduces stock cattle per cent. and in
crcases stock sheep 10 per cent.
The state board has found a lack of uni
fOrTity in the amount of the levy made
by the different county boards for stock
indemnity purposes. The law requires
that it snail not exceed one-half of / mill.
Some of the county boards. of which Fer
gus is one, made it e mill. while many
others made it considerably lower. In
order to have the levy uniform the state
board instructed David Marks, the clerk
to recommend uniform levy of one tenth
of a mill affording adequate
amount for stock indemnity purposes, and
to that end letters were sent to the
county clerks asking that that figure be
adopted. This, if adopted, will affect all
of the counties excepting Broadwater.
Cascade, Custer, jefferson Madison.
Meagher and Sweet Grass. those counties
having already adopted the levy of one
tenth of l mill. The letter to the county
clerks of the counties affected says:
I'VE notice from the levy made in the
different counties that there is striking
lack of uniformity in the amount of the
levy for stock indemnity tax purposes.
1t is questionable whether such a levy
be upheld under our constitution, but
certainly no doubt exists as to the lille
gality of the levy where it is not the
same in all of the counties. There Is no
reason why a taxpayer in one county
should pay more or less than a taxpayer
in another county for this purpose. Wa
would suggest a uniform levy of one
tenth of mill in all of the counties
The amount realized from this law would
be ample. the fund now Is in a pleth-
Oric condition. Should the board comply
with this recommendatio ton please inform
US at once
The state board has not yet set date
for hearing Senator Powers on behalf of
the sheepmen. and any cattlemen who
may desire to be heard relative to the
valuation which the board has decided
for cattle and sheep. Only two members
of the board. the auditor and attorney
general are in the city, State Treasurer
Collins being in Winnipeg and Governor
Smith in Butte. The board anticipa tes
however. that it's action will have the de-
sired effect of resulting in a test case be-
ing started in the courts in order to have
the supreme court again pass upon the
authority of the board to fix. as the con-
stitution provides, a uniform valuation
upon property
