county, yesterday filed with the state
auditor an abstract of the 1899 tax list
showing assessed valuation of the city
Of Minneapolis and county of Hennepin
and the amount of taxes to be levied for
1899. A similar statement was filed by
Auditor Johnson for Ramsey county
two weeks ago, and Hennepin is among
the early ones to make return to the
Btate auditor. About sixty counties are
yet to be heard from. The statement is
ms follows:
Total tax levied. SO, 1896, 1856 60
Distributed as follows:

Comparatively, the abstract indicates
that the people of Hennepin will pay
S1,000,O00 more in taxes than Ramsey
bounty The amount levied for school
purposes is from 80 to 40 per cent more
than the money raised lor the Same pur-
pose in this county. The total valua-
lion IS SIT $50, made up as indicated.
Value of town and city lots, including
structures, $S5,379604; value of taxable
personal property, $2O.16O,6O5, and land
other than town lots, including struc-
lures, $12,096,673.
The taxes for 1899 became due on the
irst of the year. The law provides that
The tax must be paid in part at least
or or before May 81 to avoid a penalty
of 10 per cent One-half of any tax
assessed against real or personal prop
prty may be paid before the 1st of June
and the balance in November without
mourning a penalty.
The assessed valuation of Ramsey
county is $2O0OO,0OO less than Hennepin

PRESIDENTS BODY GUARD.

New Orleans mes-Democratl
Whether the president travels with
a bodyguard has been both denied and
asserted and he himself would prob
ably be unable to give any accurate
information on the subject. The mat
ter is left almost wholly in the hands
of the secret service bureau, which is
an adjunct to the department of JUS
tice. The president is told to dismiss
the subject from his mind and if he
should ever chance to need protection
it would be on hand. Mr.. Cleveland
was very much averse to the idea of
being followed around by detectives,
yet 1T was well known that he rarely
stirred abroad without a couple of
them at his heels. One of his guards
was very big man who was a famil-
lar figure in Washington, and who
finally became so conspicuous as the
presidents peeler" that he was taken
off and a less spectacular agent sub
stituted. Mr.. Mckinley has been ac-
companied by secret service men on
almost ali the trips he has taken since
he occupied the chair. When he went
down the Potomac to view the recent
eclipse he was snap-shotted just as he
was going aboard the presidential
yacht, and the picture was afterwafI
reproduced in one of the large illus
trated weeklies. BY mere accident five
government detectives were on the
wharf at the moment and the camera
caught them all. When the picture
came out it caused a good laugh in Of
fetal circles, and is still referred to as
the group photo of the secret service
bureau" When one sees several de-
tectives in the presidents close prox-
unity it is a sure sign that some crank
letters have been received at the White
House. Every president gets them by
the bushel, and they threaten assas-
sination in all conceivable forms Such
epistles are invariably sent by the pri-
vate secretary to the head of the secret
service, and when they arrive that are
regarded as really dangerous a few
men are detailed at once to keep an
eye on the chief magistrate. Great
pains are taken to keep all details
about crank mail away from the pa
pers. the officers holding to the very
sensible theory that crankism is con-
tagious, and the more that is said
about letters of that kind the more
likely they are to multiply.

Her diet was whey, and 1 hasten to say
1t is wholesome, and people grow fat on
it
The spot being lonely. the lady not only
Discovered the tuffet, but sat on it.

AS rivulets always are thought to do,
And dragon flies spOrted around and ca

A hideous spider was sitting beside her,
And most unavoidably near TO her!
However unsightly, this creature politely

I'm penitent that l did not wear my hat l
Should otherwise certainly bow TO you.
Though anxious to please. he was so i'll at

And grew so inept that he clumsily slept
In her plate-which is barred in society.
This curious error completed the terror,
She shuddered and, growing much paler,

Only left tuffet but dealt him buffet
Which doubled him up in sailor knot.

was the superior of all others The Ger
man based his contention upon the won
derful strength and Self-sufficiency of the
German language and the virile character
OF It's thoughts and its literature The
frelchman claimed that the French Ian
guage not only had no superior, but no
equal in its ability TO express all thoughts
accurately and with true beauty and a
depth of feeling
The Italian and one of the Mexicans
each claimed one beauty 10 which no
other language could Law claim the besIJ-
not between these two, the Mexican
maintaining that Spanish had more true

Finally both appealed the matter to the

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

Will our silver Republican friends begin
to believe us by and by when we tell them
that the silver issue does not count in
this campaign?-Salt Lake Tribune
Certainly not. Why should they2
They will prefer to take the word of
rock-ribbed, dyed-in-the-w gold
bug like the New York Sun. instead
OK the assertion of a recent convert to
Hannaism. The Sun says: 1.-THE one
idea Mr.. Towne has in mind is to fur
ther the free coinage of silver. If he
thinks that by giving way in favor of
stevenson, the vice presidential choice
of Kansas City, more votes will be
made effective for free silver, he will
cease to be a candidate. The vital
principle of Bryan's party is free sill
yer. And that is true. The. over
throw of McKinleyism, which is i'm
perialism in its most aggressive form
and the main reliance of the mono
metallists, will be an indirect but posi-
tive step in the direction of securing
bimetallism. Bryan, when elected, will
do everything possible to secure free
silver. He will stand for all the prin-
ciples laid down in the Kansas CITY
platform. The imperialist goldbugs be-
lieve this, and silverites and bimetal-
lists know it to be true.
