Case Will be Appealed to the
Supreme Court by the
Defendants.

The decision in the Injunction case or
Samuel n. Grannis vs.. the board of
county commissioners. Chairman Graf,
Auditor Gunders. Treasurer Ewing,
Fleener & Saylor and Chas, w. We'll
man was filed last Saturday, and is in
favor of the plaintiff. The decision
and the memorandum which accom-
panies it are signed by Judges Cray,
Buckham and Brown, and a stay OF
twenty days is granted. The tax ex-
perts will appeal the case to the
supreme court and hope to have it de-
cided at the April term.
AS matters of fact. it is found that
the contract giving the experts one
half of all taxes collected as result of
their work was entered into between
Chas. w. Welman and the county
board May 18th, 1899, and was amended
and modified Jan. 3rd. 1900. During
the first two months after the contract
was made, Mr.. Welman and an en-
pleye searched the files and records of
Blue Earth county for omitted personal
property, and after that Martin Fleener
and Harry S. Saylor and their en-
ployes took up the work. Mortgages,
land contracts, notes. money and other
personal property was discovered of a
value of $999, 500, and Auditor Gunders
entered it on the records at half the
face value and leyied taxes upon it..
Prior to Jan. 3rd, $14. 1872 30 in taxes on
this property was paid in, out of about
$4,000 levied. In the process of being
entered and levied upon there is 81. OOO,-
900 worth of additional property dis
covered by the experts, which will be
entered at one-half its face value, and
the taxes upon it will amount to $780,
900.
1t is found that ten per cent of these
taxes belong to the state Of Minnesota,
fortY-fve per cent to the city of Man
kato, villages, towns and school dis
tricts, and ten per cent to the road,
bridge, interest and other special funds
of the county There has thus far been
paid to the experts So, 565 GO The length
of time expended by Messrs. Fleener
and Saylor and their employees. or the
value of their services, in making the
search for omitted personal property
subject to taxation, does not accurately
appear. Besides the three experts them
selves, seven persons have been engaged
in the work, some for several months
and others for but few weeks The
work was largely clerical. and none of
the seven persons appear to have had
previous experience in similar work.
Work has been carried on for several
counties at the same time for consid-
cradle portion of the time. About
$1,000 has been expended by the experts
for help.
1t is found that the compensation
provided to be paid to Mr.. Welman in
the contract was many thousand dol
lars in excess of the reasonable worth
and value of the services rendered.

TO INDIA BY RAIL
Only Five Hundred and Eighty-fve
 Miles of Road Now Lacking

All that is wanted is an agreement be- tween Russia and England as to Afghan istan.
 Already the enterprisng Muscovite has extended the scope of the Transcaspian railway to such a degree that Russian cars are actually running well inside Afghan territory. Kushk, an Afghan frontier town, Is practically in Russian hands, and a light railway is already under construction to the famous Herat.
 That is the situation Afghanistan' s northern frontier. On the south British India is apparently not less active. The Beloochistan railway system terminating at Gulistan Karez, on the Afghan border, Is to be extended and already work is being pushed forward in order to connect Kandahar with the Indian railroad sys- tenn
 In Central Asia Russia Is actively en- gagged In surveying and constructing. When this Is completed all that will remain to make 1t possible to train from Calais to Bombay will be to link up the chain be- tween Herat and Kandahar-an insignifl- cant distance of 5S5 English miles,
 Ihe link being made, and the Central Asian Railway finished, London to Bonn bay will mean that the only chance of sea- sickness will be on the twenty-one- mile strip or channel between Dover and Ca 1ais.
 Although the distances are nearly smi-
 
 land journeys is in favor of the latter By the straits of Gibraltar and the Suez canal the distance is $500 miles, and the time oc- cupied by the fastest Peninsular and Ori- ental steamer is twenty-one days.
 By the land route, allowing the average approximate speed to be twenty-five miles an hour by the express trains, the journey would occupy eleven days four hours over a distance approximately estimated at 6700 English miles. But twenty-five miles an hour is low estimate. This speed is on the average considerably exceeded. even on Asiatic railways, and of course doubled on European lines.
 Two changes of cars would be necessary on the journey from Calas-at the iron tier on entering Russia and at the Indian frontier. This would be occasioned by the fact that the Russian lines have a gauge nearly a foot wider than the rest of Eu ropean railways
 But such a route would have its disad- vantages The huge steamship companies which trade with India would be seriously affected. Suez canal shares would go down with a slump Italy would suffer consid- erably by the depreciation of the Brindisi mail route.

THEORIES ABOUT CATARRH
Peculiar Ideas Regarding a Common
 Disease

OlSe6S0
 Mark Twain's cure for a cold in the head was simple, but he claims very effective in his own case; his plan was to eat nothing whatever for twenty-four hours or pre- sumably until the trouble has disappeared.
 Although not able to speak from personal experience as to the effectiveness of this treatment, 1t certainly has the merit of extreme economy, but 1t occurs to us that the application of it to case of nasal catarrh might be attended with difficult ties.
 Catarrh, as everyone knows, is a chronic cold in the head and MT. Twains treat ment, if it should become a fad, would make of us a nation of fasters: an army emulating the example of the immortal Tanner who achieved world wide fame by fasting forty days.
 Catarrh is certainly becoming a national disease and there is little doubt but that errors in diet, particularly over eating is a very common cause.
 Most people however are more interested in the cure of the trouble than in the cause, and modern medical science has produced more effective and less heroic remedies than MT. TWain's
 Guaiacol is a new remedy, very effective in some forms of catarrh. Eucalyptol is another which on account of it's antiseptic properties is very valuable, while many severe cases of chronic catarrh have been entirely cured by the sanguinaria or ex- tract of Blood root alone.
 Within a year an enterprising chemist has combined all of these remedies in tablet form, palatable and convenient and the superiority of this tablet over other ca- tarrh remedies is so apparent that all druggists now carry them in stock to sup ply ---e popular demand.
 They are ca..ed Stuarts Catarrh Tablets and 1t is doubtful if any medicine has achieved national popularity in so short a time as this
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used by thousands of travelling men because they can be carried in the pocket and used any time and in any quantity being free from Cocaine, opiate or any poisonous drug.
 They clear the head and throat from the disgusting secretions of catarrh, very often in a few hours time.
 For nasal catarrh they are far superior to any wash, lotion or ointment the use of which is often as inconvenient and annoy ing as the disease itself.
 For coughs, colds, bronchial catarrh and catarrh of the stomach these tablets give immediate relief and permanent cure where lotions, douches and inhalers make no impression whatever.
 This preparation is a boon to catarrh suf- ferers and any druggist will tell you that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a remedy that has come to stay.

Proceedings in the condemnation cases
now in court, to obtain right of way
under the law of eminent domain
for the Bismarck, Washburn & Great
Falls railway, indicate that a great many
property holders still entertain the illu-
sion of boom values for outlets and un-
productive acre property. Many have
refused to even talk with the com
mittee in charge of the proposition to
obtain a right of way, and either de-
cline to place a value on their
property or demand such an exhorbitant
figure as to remove all possibility of a
satisfactory compromise compensation.
Thus it happens in many instances that
a better proposition from the committee
has been made the owner for right-of-
way than the jury grants on the evidence
rendered by witnesses. Non-productive
out-lots are really of little value now dis
compared with the inflated ideas of boom
days. The valuations placed by the va.
rious juries int hese condemnation cases
show it.
