(From a STAFF Correspondent
DIES MONIES, June l3.-(Special)-As
the reports from county auditors are re-
ceived by the state auditor In which they
give the abstract of county assessments as
equalized by the county boards, they are
being carefully tabulated that the council
may have information in hand for the state
equalizing, which commences next month.
The reports from about forty of the coun-
ties have been received already. These are
generally the smaller counties Where the
work can be done soonest. They show that
the real estate valuations as made by the
assessors this year average about $3.50 an
acre increase over the valuation of two
years ago, when the last real estate as
sessment was made. At this rate the in
crease in valuation on real estate, exclusive
Of town lots, would be in the state over
S236,000,00O. But as the larger counties
come in this average will be materially In
creased, as many of the counties yet to re-
port show an average increase of over $40
al acre on the land assessment. Some of
the largest increases of this year are in
these counties: P~ocahontas, SLIGO; Benton,
1908; Butler, $l0O5; Greene. $10.27; Winnie
bago, $3.50. Allamakee shows an increase
of only SLIP an acre. The average valua-
ton placed on acreage in Iowa two years
ago was a little over $S5, but this year it
will go to about SAL or $40 an acre.
Hanged Herself in ~PenitentIary.
Governor Cummins today received word
from Anamosa that Christina Behrens of
Scott county had killed herself in the state
penitentiary. She was given clothing for
her own use and some cloth out OF which
to make something, and she fashioned a
rope with which she succeeded in hanging
herself. Mrs. Behrens was received at the
penitentiary in 1897 on a life sentence from
Scott county for killing her husband. She
tried in vain to get the legislature to con-
slider an application for pardon and since
that was refused she has been respondent.
She was AZ years old at the time of her
commitment She was the only life con-
Wet in the female department at the state
prison.

today Parsons introduced in the county
convention at Rock Rapids a platform
which was adopted which endorses Judge

ment will not exist longer than March 4.
1906. many ambitious Indians will make
strenuous efforts to have their names writ
ten on the Council rolls as a heritage to
hand down to their children.
The Indian is a natural politician, and his
native shrewdness all comes to the surface
in political combats as in other things. His
peculiarities crop out in his manner of con-
Quoting campaigns and holding elections. In
the approaching battle Of ballots there is
but little at issue. AS one Indian puts it,
The ms and the outs is the only ques-
ton at issue. but party lines will be drawn
as they were last year in the gubernatorial
race, when one faction favored the adop-
ton of the treaty and the other opposed 1t.
On August IL the Indians with their entire
families will meet at the polling booths, of
which there is only one in each county. and
on a creek near by the voters will pitch a
camp The two factions will be in separate
camps and after they have Toasted on beef.
