NICELY LOCATED.
An Hour Spent in the Country With
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Kolter.

The editor of this famils' journal had
the pleasure of spending an hour with
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Kolter, at their
home in the town of Stettin. the other
day The location, for beautiful scenery
can not be surpassed. being at the
foot of the large Hill about one-half
mile west of Little Rib river and where
a splendid view of old Rib hill is mad.
The large hill, adjacent to the farm,
and of which Mr.. Kolter owns part,
is mass of white quartzite. This first
attracted his attention and he conceived
the idea of erecting large stone
crusher at this point, which he
did, and there is no doubt but that
Mr.. Kolter has one Of the most COM
piete stone crushing plants in this part
of the state. In the first place, it is
right at the source of supply and then
an elevated track runs to the hill and
the rock can be carried to the top of
the building and comes out on the
ground floor in all the different grades,
| from the coarsest to the very finest.
The Northwestern road runs within
short sdistance of the mill and spur
can be run in without any trouble, at
any time. Mr.. Kolter has had to aban-
don this for time for want of sufficient
capital to work it to advantage, and
right here let us say there is a chance
for our capitalists to make an invest
ment, with assurances of good returns.
After Mr.. Kolter had gotten his plant
in order, he went to work and built
himself home, and we doubt if there
is country home in Marathon county
that is better arranged for comfort 1t
is large, modern and very cheerful. 1t
has been two years since Mr.. and Mrs
Kolter went out there to live and they
to fifteen acres of land; have a henery
second to none in the county and every
thing is as convenient, neat and tidy
as if they expected visitors every day
While Mrs. Kolter has the reputation
of being model housekeeper, jake
also is known far and wide as a genius,
and his chicken house, barn and other
buildings show good judgment and
taste. He has several hundred chickens
ducks and geese, and they are as sleek
and fine as can be found anywhere.
Jake has made an artificial lake
large enough on which to enjoy boat
ride, and planted enough trees around
its shores to make delightful forest in
a few years. We predict that before
many years pass away Mr.. Kolter will
have one of the pleasantest places in
this section, and he and his wife say
that nothing could induce them to come
back to the city to reside. No wonder
that it is a place where all of the fam
ily's old friends like to go to pass away /
an hour, and especially where the |
young people like to 90 for an evening
Nay Mr.. and Mrs. Kolter live long to
enjoy their pleasant home and sur
is the wish of all.

SCHOOL BOARD MET
1t the Regular Meeting the Board De-
cided to Postpone the Hiring
ola Teacher.

nual Report to the Board on
Various Matters.

SCHOOL BOARD SESSION.
Made the Levy for Expenses of the
Coming School Year. Deferred
Hiring Teacher.

The board of education hold its regu-
lar monthly meeting Friday evening
and it was presumed that at this time
the matter of hiring the assistant prin-
cipal would be takcn up. Owing to the
fact that there were several items that
had to be looked up before the assistant
was employed that action was post
poned for special meeting, which will
be called some time during the coming
month.
The levy for the expenses Of the CON-
ing school year was made aud was
placed at 49, 500 which is about. 81 900
more than last year. Because OF the
putting in of the new steam heating
plant at the east side school house the
board found it necessary to increase
the amount of the levy to cover the
additional expense. The levy is nc
larger than has averaged for past years,
with the exception of last year, tina,
being an exceptional case, and even
then the board found it necessary to
use more than the levy called for, be-
cause of the permanent improvements
that had been made during the year.

REPORT WAS ERRONEOUS.
Dying Cattle Near Pukwana Did Not
Have Blackleg as Was Report
ed to Outside Papers.

A report has been sent to Minneapolis
and Sioux City papers that the cattle
which died recently on the ranch OF
Sanborn & Carpenter near Pnkwana
was caused by blackleg, splenic fever
or poisoning. State Veterinarian
Elliott, of Aberdeen, DR.. S. M. Smith,
of this city, and DR.. Shipley, OF Shell
don, Iowa, made a trip out there yester-
day and held post mortem examine
tion and consultation over the disease.
They agreed that the cattle died OF
anthrax, and sometimes called splenic
fever DR.. Smith stated that the dis
ease had carried off 36 head OF cattle on
the Sanborn ranch and few others in
that vicinity. There were two horses
that died with the disease and four
others are still sick With it. He states
that the disease is contagious and can
be taken by men or beast.

Large Receipts Of Wool.

A Chamberlain dispatch says: So
far this season 10000 pounds Of wool
have been marketed at Chamberlain
from the western ranges. The price
paid ranged between lac. and 16c. per
pound. There will still be number Of
moderate shipments, but the bulk Of
the wool is now on the market. The
recent slump in the value OF sheep has
brought the shipment of sheep to east
ern markets to . practical standstill.
Henry & Young, who brought . large
bunch from more than hundred miles
west, concluded not to ship after reach-
ing here, and they have started the ir
sheep back for the ranch.

WORTH MORE MONEY
There is a Big Increase in the Assessed
Valuation Of the Property in
DAWSON County.
More Cattle, MOrs Sheep, More Swine,
Etc., Have Brought the Figures up
Higher Than a Year Ago.
Mitchell Ball Club Loses Last Game at
Spirit Lake and Disband for Rest
Of the Season.
VALUATION is INCREASED
Assessed Valuation of Property
Three Hundred Thousand More
Than Last Year.

There is noticeable difference be-
tween the assessed valuation Of the
property this year and that OF last year,
the increase being due to the fact that
there is more personal property in the
way of horses, cattle sheep, ETC., to-
gether with about 5000 acres of land
that has been proved up on in the past
year which makes it eligible for taxa
ton.
County Auditor Anderson has JUST
made up his assessment rolls and sent
them to Pierre for the state board Of
equalization which meets soon. The
following report shows the property
assessed in the county:

The increase in the stock among the

the fact that stock can be raised with
good profit in the county. 1t would b.

creamery product Of this county for th'
entire year and toward the close Of sh'
year THE REPUBLICAN will endeavo

In referring to the library of the
schools the superintendent stated that
there were 10 volumes, aud while the
appropriation last year supplied the
mostpressing needs more additions were
necessary. He recommended the plac-
ing Of small libraries in the grades be-.
low the high school, and believed that
S15 for each Of the seven grades below
the high school would be sufficient.
The board acted upon the suggestion
of the superintendent and appropriated
5000 for the library fund and apparatus
for the chemical labratory.
The superintendent calls attention
to the telescope jointly owned with the
University. The observatory has been
completed and is ready for use. He
stated that the subscriptions would DO

port made to the board.
In speaking of the Alumni Literary
Society the superintendent said: "Ths
special object of this society is to give

parliamentary law, writing essays and
orations, music and in other literary
work. ALI graduates of the high

be elected to membership by unani-
nous vote. Their hall is we'll finished
and their meetings have been we'll At

old high school building"
In closing his report the superintend-
ent made some general remarks in ref
erence to the condition OF the schools.
he said: 81 believe that our schools
during the past year have been fairly
successful and in general efficiency
equal to any one in the state. There ia
little profit in dwelling upon the past

the lessons of experience. feel more
encouraged and hopeful for our schools
than ever before. The people are with
the schools. Their traducers are dis
regarded. You are earnest and har-
monious in promoting their welfare
and efficiency. The grounds and build.
ings will be in good condition. You
and the people have done their duty:
it only remains for the teachers and
superintendent to do theirs"

THE TEAM SHUT OUT.
Sioux Falls Gave. the Home Team
Goose Eggs During the En-
tire Game Thursday.

The Mitchell club came home from
Sioux Falls Thursday having played
two games with the Canaries. While
the boys did not feel that they we're
able to beat the strong team in the
Queen City they thought they would
be able to hold them down to close
game and in this they were not disap-
pointed. The score yesterday was 5 to
0. 1t was the evident intention OF the
Canaries to send the boys home with
out q score in the last game and with
the aid of the umpire and the question
able methods of the pitcher in the last
inning they we're able to accomplish
their designs. The boys were entitled
to one score and probably more in the
last inning but they did not get justice.
Walton WAS on second and Klock hit
q nice line hit to center, on which Wal.
ton vas able to reach home. When
within two fee, of the plate tie pitcher
ran in and blocked Walton and held
him off the plate until the ball wAf
| felded to the catcher and touched him
out. This retired the side and ended
the game. Klock had gone to seconc
on his hit and the chances are tha
more runs would have been made. The
boys hit the ball good and hard bu
their hits that counted were gobbiet
up by the Canaries. At one time the.

for three scores sure, but it WAS caugh
and retired the side. The WIND WA
against the team in their hitting and
good many hits that would have bee
safe were towed back to the diamond
and caught by the Canaries. Wasso
