THE DAILY STATEMENT.
What Company Has Written to Board
 of Arbitration.

The strikers executive committee is- sued the following statement this af- ternoon:
 ''This is the 2o1st day of our strike. Just ,twenty-nine weeks from the time our body met and decided to present it's requests for better conditions to the company.
 ''We have been informed unoff1cially that the trolley company, through Col onel Burpee, has submitted to the state board of arbitration a communication giving the company's views of the sit uation here. We are told that 1t is the same old arrogant style of letter. and tells the board that the company wants no outside interference and that there is nothing to arbitrate and that there is no strike on and that the company is running its cars on schedule time and that people are riding in droves and-well, the same old stuff. And yet, we are told, the company with its old inconsistency shows a healthy desire to have the strike called off, The company says there is no strike and wants it called off. We await with in terest the official report of the board, which should soon be here, now that the company has been heard from.
 "Deserter Kerrigan saw an example of what east end people think of de- serters this morning, when a woman called all her neighbors together and pointed him out as he came along on the car. The woman was a former ac- Quaintance of Kerrigan, but they never speak as they pass by now.
 Although at this writing the strike is still doing business at the same old stand, there are several wires at work trying in one way or another to fix things up. So it may be that there will yet be chance to have Forest park opened up, to have overflow meet 1ngs at Boulder grove, to have all the extra cars running and loaded to the muzzle and to see things back in the. same way they were in the good old natural Waterbury days"

PROTESTS AvAILETH NAUGHT.
And the Streets in Vicinity of Mulcahy
 School Are Being Laid Out.

And the Streets in Vicinity of Mulcahy
 School Are Being Laid Out.
 Property owners who were cited be- fore the city government last winter and asked what they thought of lay outs for streets to the Mulcahy school building and declared that they didn'f want them in language which nobody could misunderstood, wonder what the board meant by inviting them down town and after listening to their pro tests, then go ahead and do the work without further hearing. This is an other stray shot at the board Of pub dfc works. The board never recom- mended layout of streets to that building nor has any been authorized by the aldermen. These proposed streets, which practically beggar sonae of the neighboring property ownerss, are the work of the department o& ed. ucatfon and will stand there for all time as rebuke to the gentlemen who are responsible for them. The board of education was asked to explain the why and the wherefore of its reckless conduct i'll that district, but the ex- plantation never came. But what is the need of an explanation? The condi- tion that has been created explains it. self. It is simply case where every interest," private and public, was st- bordinated to that of the Tracy Bros and the only way the plan could have been consumrnated was by the use of the tactics that have been employed. In the opindon of some people this may he a clever dT1cIx hJ1h there are others who look at it in a different light, and that Is about aal they can do, so that the aggrieved parties might just as we'll reconcile themselves to things as they see them. They have long since reached point where a change is out of the question and anything said on the question at this time would not help matters one jot.

HE DROPPED THE WATCH
Detective Saw Him Do It-Man Who
 Dropped It Fined.

i
 Charles Kane of New Britain, an agent for the Nelson Morris Meat Go of Chicago, was complainant in a case against Leo Lahey in the city court to- day, charging him with theft of sill yer watch worth S5. Kane said it is his custom to put his horse up at a stable on South Main street, and that last night be put the horse up as usal. He hung dais coat and vest in the bug gy. Lahey was washing a carriage near by and when Kane returned, about twenty minutes later, Lahey and the watch were gone. Detective Dodds found Laaihey at the barn and while searching him he dropped the watch.
 Lahey said he dfd not take Dle watch. It was given to him by a boy who hangs round the barn, he said. He did not ask the boy any questions and the boy did not tell him anything regard tng it, but bmerely handed it to him.
 A fine of $7 and costs was imposed The watch belongs to jeweler in New Britain, who gave it to Kane in tenn porary exchange tor his own which IS undergoing repairs.
 Complaints against Joseph Coughlan and Thomas Harmon for lettering on 6he streets were settled for ST each.
 Minnie Campbell, 16, was charged with assaulting Rose Bailey on North Main street Saturday night. The Campbell girl Is married and all con- cerned are colored. They are stran- gers and they happened to meet in store on North Main street. Miss Bailey and her friends were laughing and Mrs Campbell, who was with her husband supposed she was laughing at her. She asked her if this was so and she was answered in the negative. But Miss Bailey and her friends laughed again, whereupon Mrs Campbell, de- spite the advice of her husband, slap ped Miss Bailey in the face twice. The recital of the affair seemed to tickle Mrs Campbell and she embraced her. self in the dock. She was a stranger In court and did not know what had happened when Judge Burpee said ''$5 and costs" Tt was all great fun to her until her friends found out the total bill. They paid, nevertheless.

WON AND LOST DIVORCE SUIT.

Remarkable Complications Follow Da-
 kota Law Test in London.
 London, July 3o.-The validity of Da- kota divorces in England again was raised before the president of the di- vorce court, Sir Francis Jeune, in ths suit for divorce brought by D. s, Con- standhnddl against his wife, who is a daughter of Stephen Ralli, a member of the firm of Ralh Brothers as we'll known in New York as in London. MT Constandinidi charged his wife with bdgamously marrying Dr Lance, the family physician. MT Constandinldl obtained a judicial separation from his wife in 1899.
 John Lawson Walton, counsel for the petitioner, explained the subse- quent proceedings as follows:
 "This delicately nurtured lady of Belgrav via went to a wild district of the earth, emigrated to the haff-settled state of Dakota, became an American citizen, stayed six months there, fraud Jrlently obtained so-called divorce and married the correspondent there, thus using the lax Dakota laws for her own purpose. This" continued MT Walton, twas fraud on civilized jurisprudence"
 The jury found the respondent and correspondent guilty of adultery, awarded $125.0O0 damages against Dr Lance, and also found tt1e petition CT guilty of the counter charge of aduI- tery. His petition, therefore, was dis missed, and argument on the points of law involved was postponed until to- day.

CLOSE OF ASSEMBLY,.
Chautauquans Have Carnival on Their
 Twelfth Night.


 PIainyille. July 8O-Yesterday the ChautauQuans at the camp grounds ended their tewlve days assembly and with handshaping and good wishes all around, adjourned until next year. The assembly of this year has been on a larger scale in every way than those preceding and next years gathering will be proportionally greater. The Fundamental note of the 0. L. s. O. is the perfecting of soul, body and intel lect. The main object of the assembly is to bring all this about as nearly as possible at the same time. That .peo pie are realizing the excellence of the idea was demonstrated by the number who joined the incoming class on Recognition day. The assembly has been a great success. Rev D. W. How ell as president of the association proved himself to be the man for the: position and the quartet of officers In charge of the assembly carried things through in a level-headed way. The services of such eminent Chautauqua workers as Dr Hurlbut and MT Vim cent, as well as those of Herr Buchler the musical director, and Dr Bigelow the naturalist gave prestige to the as sembly of 1908.
 As it was the last day, everyone on the grounds was cordially invited to at tend the various departments without charge. Among the other invitations of the day was one from Rev D. Cl Tullar to come to the Kensington house (Chatauqua hqeuadarters) and see his Palestine views. MT Tullar visited the Holy Land short time ago and while ,-saG 1nA a@Y graphs. Many took advantage of the opportunity. The program of the day was much the same as usual with ex- ception of the fact that Mir Vincent and Dr Bigelow exchanged places, the for mer delivering his lecture on Flaw thorne'' at il o'clock. A farewell ad. dress to the round table was given by Rev E. O. Tlllar at the auditorium at o'clock.
 The scheduled stopening of the ques tion box" occurred in the afternoon Dr Bige1ow then drew them out and answered each at length. After the hour many of the young people under the leadership of Dr Bigelow went out on straw-ride, returning late in the afternoon. The so-calIed Twelfth Night Carnival" was the attraction at tah auditorium in the evening. The opening piece was take-off on "a day at the assembly" The Representations of the different department instructors were very amusing and were heartily applauded. Especially noteworthy among the cast were Dr Bigelow as President Howell, MT Rall as Miss Rob. fnson of the cooking school, MT Mer- rfam as Herr Buch1er and Rev D. O.. TuIlar as pr BigeIow. A procession through the gates, and huge bonfire, with speeches in a nearby lot, but the rain prevented.
 The arrangements for Grand Army day are now complete and the expec- tatfons are that there will be an affair of unprecedented success. .....

HIS PROGRAMS POPULAR
Banda Rossa's Conductor Displays
9Great Genius in Arranging
His Programs.

Eugenio .Sorrentino, conductor of
the Banda Rosa, has real genius in
the arrangement OF the programmes
to suit every..-taste and please every
ear. The foundation of them all US
ually is two or three arrangements
from the best of Italian opera, the
music bis men know and love SO well.
These selections ale from Verdi RIOS
SIM, DoniZetti, and other masters of
the old school and also from the
young and fresh genius of the neo-
Italians-Mascagni, Leoncavailo and
Puccinl. This is music that appeals
to everyone. Then there are stir
ring marches chosen impartially
from the works of Sousa and other
Americans and from the popular
compositions of SorIentlno himself.
Waldteufel and Strauss contribute
some Of their divinest waltzes and
many other composers are drawn on
for their best. Tile result is SYM
metrical and attractive programmes
that are at once musicianly and pop
ular. The solo work which is a feat
ure Of each programme is notable
for Its beauty. Signor S%orrentino
understands, none better, that a horn
soloist is like a singer, so the selec-
tions for trumpet and horn are usual
ly such grand and stirring themes for
the voice as those afforded by 'sThe
Holy City,"'The Palms, and the
like, or some gracefully beautiful
aria. This great band will appear
during the ten days OF. the..corn palace

Our separators are all new. They

TWENTY YEARS CID
The Republican is Within One Year
Of Its Maiority-Une Of the
Oldest DaiIies.

Tuesday The Republican COM
menced on its twenty-frst year of
publication as a daily newspaper, and
except for the observance of legal hol-
idays it has made its appearance
without Interruption for twenty
years. In as new a country as South
Dakota the publication of a daily
newspaper for d fifth of a century is
something out Of the order, and many
people on visiting Mitchell are sur
prised to learn that a daily paper
has succeeded in continuing in the
field for so manv wears.
The Republican has endeavored to
publish the news faithfully in years
past and give the people a good clean
paper. That it has been appreciated
is shown by the fact that it's sub
scription list is larger than ever and
is constantly growing, and that It's
advertising patronage has increased
to the extent that for the past two
years it has been necessary tt publish
a six-page paper continuously, with
very frequent eight-page publications
to admit of more advertising. The
managene nt desires to return it's sin
c%ere,thanks for these many kind fav-
ors.

ASSESSMENT is A FARCE
Governor Herried Discusses the Re,
cent Assessment That Has
just Been Made.

Since the assessment has been made
in the state and the returns made to
the state auditor there has been much
discussion as to the small amount of
personal property turned in. Govern
or Herreid looked over the returns
and made the following statement:
"Three years study of the assess
menJ returns as a member OF the
state board of equalization and assess
ment has convinced me that our pres
ent methods for raising revenue by
assessments made by several hundred
assessors, each a law unto himself,
comes dangerously near bel og a farce.
The state board is utterly helpless
regarding most of the personal prop
erty schedules. The constitution and
the laws require ali property to be
listed and assessed at it's full value.
While the euualiZed returns will show
about S2l5. 600, 900, ii all the assessa-
BILE property was listed at it's full
value We should probably have one
thousand millions. Real estate is
assessed at from half it's value in
some of the northwestern counties
to o%ne-fourth actual value in the
older portions Of the state, a dis
crepancy which is gradually disap-
pearing; and personal property at
from One-third to one-fourth Of its
actual value. But the great mass of
personal property does not appear on
the assessors books at all. To illus
trate: One Of the largest and richest
counties returns only 81, 800 of house
hold goods. One large county returns
only $945, one 1915, n $500, one $189
and one nothing. In a great many
counties there are no watches, no
jewelIy and no gold and silver plate,
etc. Many large, rich counties make
no return whatever of credits Other
than OF banks, and moneys of indi-
viduals is merely nominal in name
at all. The richest county IN the
state returns only $500, n comfy
S267, one 1927 and one Of the largest
and richest counties not a dollar
Sometimes the goods and merchan
disc returned for a county Is les!
than the stock Of some individual
storekeeper. Thousands Of head O
horses, sheep and cattle are not listet
and escape taxation. The system o
assessment, is defective in it's opera
tion. The taxpayer knows that near
ly everybody is very timid when th
assessor is around and acts accord
ingly. Every assessor tries to pro
tect his neigbbors and his township
and every county board tries t.
guard its county from paying. NOR
than its share, and the result is
returns showing a valuation Of abou
one-fifth Of all the property in til
state.'
