indistinctness Of phrasing in portions that

some very fine octaves in the bass, which

catching an early train prevented his re-

played as we'll as they might have been,

CURRIERS' GO TO DULUTH
St. Paul Sent Four Rinks-Altogether
& FOrty-One Kinks Will Be
in the Play.

Curriers' opened their annual bonspiel at
Duluth at o'clock this afternoon. Curriers'
from all over the northwest and as far
south as Chicago and Omaha were repre-
sented. Forty-one Kinks are represented
at the bonspiel, which will be one of the
largest and most enthusiastic gatherings
of curriers' in the history of the game in
the northwest. Ten Kinks are from Mani
toba cities, four from Chicago, seven from
Sault Ste. Marie, two from Milwaukee
and four from st. Paul.
Minneapolis is represented by one lone
rink, the members of which are John Nc
Leod, skip; w. o. Zimmerman, George K.
Labatt and John Riheldaffer. This rink
went to Duluth last evening. Minneap-
oils would have been represented by a
second rink, but for serious illness in the
family OF Sam and Tom Hastings. Both
of these veteran players expected to at
tend the bonspiel, and would have helped
make up a rink which would have given
good account of itself. Those who did
go are bound to make creditable show
ing for Minneapolis, whether they carry
off any honors or not.
Members of the st. Paul Curling Club
Kinks are:
st. Paul Curling club: Morrison, Cam.
eron, Adamson, w. w. Lorimer, Archie

bill. There will be occasion, too. for
few emergency measures. The public ex-
aminers department cannot run much
longer than February /, without special
appropriation, fees being insufficient to
maintain the office. Measures of this kind
will probaly be submitted by the COVER
nor in special messages. He will doubt

pay the states legal expenses in the
Northern Securities case.
Text of the Message.
The governors message summoning the
extra session reads as follows:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT..
Whereas the legislature of this state at its
last regular session passed an act entitled
can act to provide for the appointment Of
tax commission, to prescribe the duties
thereof, and to Appropriate money therefor
And whereas, said act provided for the ap-
pointment of three residents of this state as
tax commissioners, whose duties it should
be to make a tax code and to report the same
to the governor of said state on or before
the first day of February, 1902
And whereas, pursuant to said act, commits
sioners were duly appointed who each thero-
after qualified and entered upon the discharge
of his duties; "
And whereas, said commissioners did, on the
10th day of January, A. d. 1902 complete their
labors and file their report, together with
certain proposed bills, as provided by said
act, in the office of the governor of said state;
And whereas, owing to the imperfect and
inadequate provisions of the tax laws of this
state, a large percentum of personal property
liable to taxation is not listed for assess
ment;
And whereas, it is Imperative and essential
that more thorough system for the full, just
and equitable taxation Of all forms of prop
erty should be adopted;
And whereas, the bills filed as aforesaid by
said commission purport to provide for a
system of taxation which will be more full,
| just and equitable:
| Now, therefore, in. order to permit immedi-
ate consideration of said report and bills
proposed by said commission, and the enact
ment of such tax legislation as shall be
deemed necessary, I, Samuel R. Van SAINT, as
governor of the state of Minnesota, firmly
believing that the best interests of the state
so require do hereby issue this proclamation
summoning the members OF the two houses
| of the legislature of this state to convene in
extra session at the capitol in st. Paul, or
Tuesday, the 4th day of February, A. D. 1902
| at II o'clock in the forenoon, to take such
! action as shall seem proper and requisite il
the matter of taxation.
| Given under my hand and the great sea
of the state this 18th day of January, AID
1902.
! Bv the governor: IS. R. Van SAINT.

WHY TAXES ARE UP
Personal Property Valuations Raised
and Rate Is High.

The fact that personal property taxes
are higher than they were last year is
bringing larger number Of kicks" than
ever to the county treasurer. The state
board Of equalization has raised the val
uation of certain personal property, and
the county board of tax levy has raised
the rate of taxation. both of which pro-
ceedings are wholly beyond the control of
Treasurer Bell. His sole duty is to col
lect the taxes. The rate varies consider
ably in various wards, as will be seen
from the following rate on $1,000 of as
sessed valuation:
First ward, 3O.4O mills; Second, 2S.s>
mills; Third, 1890 mills; Fourth, 29.1O
mills, Fifth, 29.1O mills: Sixth. $3.50
mills; Seventh 3O.4O mills; Eighth, 1920
mills; Ninth, 3O.40 mills; Tenth, S0.4O
mills; Eleventh. $3.50 mills; Twelfth, 1910
mills; Thirteenth. 1910 mills.

THINKS SHE WAS SWINDLED

Mrs. j. G.. SOdini Wires Money in
Answer to Telegram.
A bogus telegram. it is believed. was
responsible for the loss of $3.50 by Mrs.
J. G. Sodini, wife OF the former pro-
prietor of the Columbia theater. A short
time ago she received a telegram in
structing her to send $3.50 to San Fran
cisco at once, identification to be waived.
The message was signed ]. G. Sodini. Mr..
Sodini had gone to tine California city
some time ago, and while his wife be-
ljeved he had enough money to defray all
ordinary expenses, the urgency Of the
order caused her to wire the money at
once. Since then Mr.. Soddni has not been
heard from, and communication between
the Minneapolis and the San Francisco
police leads the local authorities to be-
lieve that the order was swindle.

Mr.. SHEVLIN TO WITHDRAW
y. F., Nelson May Succeed Him in Az
ricultural Society.

Thomas H. Shevlin will not accept an
other term as vice president Of the Min
nesota State Agricultural society, and
when the board Of managers meets 1t will
probably elect B. r. Nelson as second vice
president, Chester R. Smith of st. Paul,
getting the first vice presidency. Presi-
dent John Cooper of st. Cloud will un-
doubtedly be reelected. The only other
change on the board will be the election
of a successor to DR.. Curryer, formerly
of Mankato, who has now removed to St..
Paul, and whose place will probably be
filled by the selection Of H. G. Hunting
ton, editor of the Window Reporter. The
board meets tomorrow morning and will
remain in session three days. Mr.. Shev-
Inns withdrawal is due to lack OF time
to devote to the business of the society.
