afternoon before the footings were

The board has been informed that
several farmers have sold wheat since
May 1st, whereas they did not return
any wheat on their assessment rolls.
The following parties are claimed to
have done this, and are to be notified
to appear before the board and ex-
plain: Robt Haedt, 1884 worth of
wheat H. Hubner, 81, $50; Mic Juliar,
81, GA; A. A. Juliar, 1923.
The indications are that the board
will not change its position in regard
to the assessment of the building and
loan associations, and state and saw
ings banks One member. who last
year cast one of the two votes to as
sess these institutions, said this after
noon that he did not think that the
board would take any different action
from last year He did not favor OPP
posing the wishes of the majority Of
the board, especially after so many at
torneys had been consulted and advised
against the proposed taxation.
Another member said that the board
last year adjourned a week to get the
advice of the attorney general, and he
was in favor of following this advice
this year, the same as was done last
year. The attorney general and the
county attorney had agreed as to what
the law was, and there was no reason
to throw over his advice.
1t has been the general opinion that
the council would list the building
and loan association and state and saw
ings' bank for taxation, and that the
county board would take them off the
list, the same as was done last year.

The news of the victory of the al
lied forces at Tien Tsin which came
Tuesday had the effect for time of
clearing the situation in the far east
somewhat. This with the dispatch
given out by Minister WI, at Wash
ington. that the foreigners at Picking
were safe on July 9th, again lent hope
that the worst fears for the situation
might not be realized. But the news
today does not help clear matters. 1t
is reported that China has opened war
on Russia and ordered all Russians to
leave Manchuria. This is not wholly
credited in London, but is thought to
be renewal Of the old troubles over
the Russo Manchu railway At Wash
ington it is said the administration
has decided there is no immediate de-
mand for an extra session of congress.
All available troops will be hurried
forward for the protection of Ameri-
can interests. 1t is held that state
oftwar does not really exist, and that
efforts only should be directed toward
quelling the existing disturbances
within the empire. so as to render life
and property safe. A full measure of
justice will be demanded, it is said,
for all damages inflicted.

LAYING LARGER RAILS.

A large force of men is engaged in
laying heavier rails on the Chicago &
Northwestern track through the city.
The ties are also being replaced with
new ones. All this work is prepara
tory to the running of the trains
through this city and west over the
Mankato & New Ulm, which is to be-
gin Aug. list. There have been so
many delays that people have been
wondering of late whether the G. &
N. W. officials had not forgotten that
they had such road as the Mankato
& New Ulm.

the contract for kalsomining, Stating
and painting at the different school

ceived, and the lowest bidder for each
building got the contract. W. K.
Buffham got the high school for 1898,
and the Union school for $10S. Joseph
Manderfeld got the Pleasant Grove for
$1O4, the West Mankato for $S1, and

TRIED NEAR ST. PETER.

A gang of swindlers have for some
time past been operating in Southern
Minnesota. Two individuals negoti-
ate with farmer for his farm, and
having completed the bargain, drive
off, when the third party appears on
the scene, and offers a price $500 or
81, 600 in advance of that offered by his
confederates. To release himself from
the first bargain, the farmer pays down
neat little sum of money, but the
third party never shows up. The
scheme was tried a few days ago on a
well-known party living near st.
Peter, but was unsuccessful

NO CHANGE.
County Board Will Stand Pat
Again.
Majority of the Members Will Follow the
Advice Of the Attorney
General.

The county board of equalization
met Tuesday afternoon and organized
by the election of Chas Graf chairman
and P. A. Gunders secretary. The
board devoted the afternoon and today
to considering the value of farm lands.
A number of raises will be made in
the value of acreage property in the
towns returned too low by the asses
sors. This work will probably be con-
Guided today, and the personal pro-
perty valuations will be attended to as
rapidly as possible, as some of the
members are anxious to get home.
The following is list of the value
per acre of land and the total value of
real property in the various towns and

Before the Bryan Democracy talk
about the shadowy imperialism, which
they attribute to McKinley's admins
tration, they ought to wash their
hands of all faint of imperialism
themselves. There is nothing more
grotesque in this whole hurrah about
imperialism than that of Senator
Tillman, the hater of negroes, who de-
clares that the whites do not intend
that the negroes shall have voice in
the government of the south, standing
I'D in the Kansas City convention and
reading the plank against so-called i'm
perialism, and lamenting about gov
eminent existing without the consent
of the governed. The picture OF the
Southern Democrats and of Bryan rail
ing against Mckinley for imperialism
and declaring their support OF the
statement in the declaration OF indie
pendence that governments instituted
among men, derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed, and
then denying large element OF the
population of number of the south
ern states of that right and consent
and virtually endorsing the same, IS
| most absurd. And further, Mr.. Bryan,
as dictator of his party, has never con-
demned the Imperialism of Goebel, In
Kentucky, or of his successor, Gov.
Beckham, but his silence, virtually ap-
proves of the stealing of the state, and
so depriving the majority OF the peo-
pie there the right to be governed as
they desire and directed. Mr.. Bryan
and his friends will find that their
hurrah about Imperialism does not all
rest upon one side of the fence The
worst and most dangerous imperialism
this country has ever seen or was ever
threatened with, rests in the Demo
cratic party as today constituted, in Its
treatment of the south, and the most
absolute dictator which has ever ap-
peared among us is Mr.. Bryan, as is
well illustrated by his domination OF
the Kansas City convention, and his
forcing upon it of the silver issue at
ratio of 16 to 1.

The greeting given Gov. Theodore
Roosevelt at ST. Paul Tuesday and
last evening by thousands of Republi-
cans from all parts of the northwest,
was most magnificent one, and gives
every indication that the Republicans
are wide awake to the duty OF the
hour and will not allow defeat to perch
upon their banner through apathy.
And the address of Gov: Roosevelt
was not in the least disappointment.
1t was strong, convincing speech
from start to finish, clearly defining
the issues before the people, and show
ing up the fallacies of the opposition,
and it was enthusiastically received by
his audience. Mr.. Roosevelt is a
strong man, and his reception Tues
day shows that the Republicans made
no mistake in placing him upon the
ticket with President Mckinley.

BOTH BONES BROKEN.

Raymond, the seven year old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Hughes, sus-
tanned fracture of both bones OF the
left leg, a little above the ankle, at
about three O'Clock Tuesday after
noon. He was playing on a pile of gas
pipe on Fulton street, when some OF
the pipe rolled down and caught him
under its heavy weight. DIR. Holbrook
was going by at the time and helped
to convey the boy home, where he and
DIR. Andrews reduced the fracture.
Mrs. Hughes is just recovering from
the effects of an injury to her knee,
received eleven weeks ago. and Mr..
Hughes was in st. Paul in the ta1
case before the supreme court.

VARIOUS OPINIONS.

Duluth News-Tribune Mr.. BRYAN
is pretty quiet. He is probably study
ing out some sly, demagogue, Demo-
cratic way of attacking President Nc
Kinley's wise, patriotic and vigorous
Chinese policy.
ST. Louis GlobeDemocrat A beaten
candidate and beaten issue are
adopted by the Democratic party for
another trial. Again Is to is to be
the battle cry, and an attempt to de-
base the currency the issue urged upon
the people,. 1t is fact apparent to
all that majority of delegates in the
Democratic convention were opposed
to a distinct declaration for the old
ratio But the grip upon the party of
Bryan and of Populism is too powerful
to be relaxed.
st. Paul Review: The independent
voter this year will be attracted to the
Republican party. His opinion is safe
ON national affairs. 1t is equally safe
in state concerns. Not alone has he
convicted Lind of Misrepresentation
and fraud in obtaining the governor
ship in 1898, but he has found out
again that fusionists are not qualified
to be entrusted with the manage
ment OF state AFFAIRS 1t is needless to
particularize. There are instances in
abundance They will be stated if not
now known as the campaign pro-
crosses.
FairmOnt News: The opposition is
desperate, but the most desperate gang
in the lot is the self-styled free silver
Republican outfit. They plainly see
that if Bryan and Lind are defeated
that they must pass into the political
grave yard, and be forgotten To avoid
this they will not scruple at any
means. Truth they will have no use
for. They will pander to the ignorant
and vicious, on the theory that there
is no hope in winning other classes
and that one mans vote counts the
same as another. This course is what
has been met during coming campaign
and Republicans should be prepared
for it.

ALL ASSESSED.
Building and Loan Association
and Banks.
The City Board Of Equalization Disre'
CARDS the Opinion OF the
City Attorney.

The city board of equalization COM
pleted it's work Monday. City At
torney Daley was present and ex-
pressed the opinion that if the Build
ing and Loan association did not re-
turn to the assessor the amount OF It's
stock, the assessor would be Justlhed
in putting it's mortgages on the list.
In accordance with this advice the
board decided to assess the association
on $40, 600 of mortgages
Mr.. Daley held that the mortgages
of the Mankato Savings bank are not
taxable, as a special statute prescrlbes
how savings banks shall be taxed.
The board turned down this advice
and placed 500, 600 of mortgages OF this
bank ON the list. AS this action is
opposed to the advice of the attorney
general it will probably not hold.
The Mankato State bank was asses
sed on so, AGO.
The board decided to reduce the val
uation of the stock of the Mankato Gas
and Electric Light Co. from $50, 600 to
500, $50. John B. Meagher and A. Il.
Pau appeared for the company and
the former explained that the bonds
were the valuable part of the company,
the principal value of the stock being
to hold control of the company
Stephen Lamm was reduced from
$40, 900 to$ 60, 600, on mortgages.
The knitting mill was reduced from
So, 900 to "a, 900 on machinery.
Elizabeth Jones was listed for $4,000
credits, and Carlos Boynton for $4OO
credits
The $3.50 assessed against Thos.
Hughes, farmer, was stricken off, he
having made satisfactory statement
before the board.
Geo. Fl. Clark, as assignee of Lon
gini & Thonss, was reduced on credits
from So, 600 to "a, 900.
The sum of 1926 credits was stricken
off of Mary L. Lundberg's account.
Gus Widell's valuation was raised
$400 for tools.

.JUDSON.

A trip through the township will
convince anyone of the fact that the
crops have undergone a great change
for the better in the past three weeks.
Wheat straw has heightened out from
four to eight inches and will be fair
length to cut and bind. Oats is the
poorer crop of the two. What few
fields of barley we saw are looking
better than the average year. Corn
likes the hot weather we have had
the past month and is growing nicely.
A few fields near the woods and on the
Minnesota bottom are fine.
The new railroad depot with slate
roof looms up in fine style.
We understand there Is a road petit
tion in circulation to lay out road to
the Minnesota river and one from Nj
collet county right opposite and then a
bridge across the river, something
long since needed and which will be a
great benefit to both counties. The
railroad should lend helping hand
and with little state aid there should
be fine bridge put in there this time
next year.
We are hearing some complaints of
too wet weather. 1t reminds me of
Mrs Partingtons saying what fool
| ish things the semortals be- - 1t also re-
minus me that the article from Lake
CRYSTAL in regard to John j. James
| was misleading Your correspondent
would have us believe that Mr.. James
| is not competent person to have
charge of the county funds and that he
is not able to manage the county
affairs. 1 have known Mr.. James for
twenty years and good management is
his best hold. in fact he is ahead of
most people in that respect. Mr.. James
| is an old soldier, he enlisted in the
| 146th New York volunteer regiment
and served three years in the army of
the Potomac, got an honorable dis
| charge, came to Minnesota in 1865
with no financial backing, but was full
| of the same grit that showed itself in
the fight at Little Round Top when
the 146th with others were ordered to
clear the hill for the third time in
one day, and he has fought it out in
that line for the last 30 years in Min
nesota, and by hard work and good
management he has fine farm in this
township and pleasant home in the
village of Lake Crystal, and I will say
right here that should Mr.. James be
elected county commissioner the tax
payers can rest assured that every
thing that comes his way will be care
fully handled, in an honest straight
forward business way. He has beer
an honorable member of the town
board for three terms and gave the
town an honest and square admins.
