Kansas City Platform Likely to be Re-
affirmed.

Des Moines. Iowa. June 19.-As the
time for the democratic state conven-
ton approaches the impression seems
to be going that W. J. Bryan has sue
ceeded in lining up the leaders OF the
Iowa democracy for the reafhrmatlOn
of the Kansas City PLATFORM There
will probably be some opposition on
the parr of the gold democrats as they
have been doing some quiet WORK, put
what they have accomplished or VIII
accomplish will not be apparent untli
the convention meets.
Charles A. Walsh of OttumWa.
member of the democratic NATIONAL
committee from Iowa and the secre-
tary of that organization, is using his
influence to bring about the reatflrm-
alton of the Kansas City platform. He
worked toward this end last year, haV-
ing had quarters open TWO or lhIee
DAYS before the convention, but the
tide had set in in the other dlrectloI
and he was unable to succeed IN ms
purpose. This year he mas pursued
more systematic course and mas al
lied himself with the leaders OF the
Kansas democracy and is conhdent
that he will be able to secure the rat
ification of the Kansas City platform.
Among those who are working with
him are Walt Butler of Dies MONIES,
General J. B. Weaver of COlfax, and
G. w. Rhinehart of Newton.
Most of the county conventions Will
he held this week after which 1t VII!
be possible to tell with some certain
tv what the complexion OF the conven-
ton will be as far as the Kansas City
platform is concerned.

The Reading Habit.

No one thing will fully develop
man as rapidly as the right
kind of reading. The man who
roads carefully and systematic
ally has liberal education be-
fore he knows it. A well-read
man is frequently more familiar
with the world, at home and
abroad, than the man who has
travelled everywhere, and he GER
tainly doubles his enjoyment Of
his life. However, he must have
good health, or in other words,
he must drink golden grain belt
beer regularly with his meals.
It's refreshing and delicious, you
forget you are taking tonic. it's
so good. Order of your nearest
dealer or be supplied by John F.
Essler, Bemidii.

Obseryationsof Chief Fire Warden

dette to Warroad, | was i'm
pressed by the care taken by
that company in preventing for
est fires. The road has been IN

scarcely any trace of recent tire

first time | had visited just that
portion OF the state. For the
greater part of the distance the
land is suited to agriculture. |
would except from the agricul-
tural areas few tracts that
are exclusively in jack pine.
It is generally level. The
prevailing tim ber is poplar.
There are bodies of good spruce;
also Of cedar and tamarack alter
mating with some inviting hard
wood tracts. There is also some
good pine, the manufacture OF
which at one place at least along
the line of the road has begun.
This timber ought to have an m
creased value when the great
water power at Koochlhlng
now called International Falls

character Of the land and the
quality and quantity OF the tim
Der along the line OF this railway
on the Ontario side are equally
as good.
"The railroad is developing al

Many Beltrami County Per-
sonal Property Assess
ments Raised.
FARMERS GET THE WORST OF
1T ALL AROUND.
Bank Stocks in Village of Be.
midi Are Lowered Fifty
Per Cent.

County Auditor Sylvester has
received from the state auditor
!. a report of the changes made by
the state board Of equalization in
Beltrami county's personal prop
erty assessments. The valua-
tions were in several instances
raised. One curious feature
shown by the report is that bank
stock was reduced by the board
/, SO per cent in Bemidji and 40
per cent in Blackjack, while
assessments on farming machin-
cry and much Of the farmer s
property was raised 100 per
cent. This seems very unjust.
At the time the county board Of
equalization met the local bank
ers appeared at the meeting and
attempted to have the reduction
made, but members of the board
refused to comply with their re
quest, All the farming machin-
cry in the county was originally
assessed atit S full value, it is
said, and the action of the state.
board in doubling the assess
ment is one which it appears to
have taken for no other reason
than that the farmers are poor
and without influence. Most of
tthe farm tools used in this county
are second class. The settlers
are just getting started and con-
not afford to purchase expensive
machinery, so the assessment
should naturally be lower than.
in an older and more prosperous
community.
Increases in asses S mentS
which will effect this county are
as follows: 3-year old horses
and over, 10 per cent: stations,
high grade mares and trade
horses, 100-p cent; 2-year-old
colts, 10 per cent; all other 8
year-olds and over, per cent

History of the Crime.
On Christmas eve, 1901, with their
cousin, Harvey Bruce, the three broth
ers drove from their home In Kinder
hook, some fourteen miles to the ham
let Of Greendale, in Columbia county,
where lived Peter A. Hallenbeck, the
uncle Of the Van Wormers. They
went to the Hallenbeck house, where
Mr.. Hallenbeck, his wife and his aged
mother, were sitting in the lamplight
in their living room. Both the women
saw them drive past. A few minutes
later there was a knock at the door
and Mr.. Hallenbeck answered it, to
find masked men outside armed with
revolvers. Burton Van Wormer led
the way, and with him the old man
grappled AT once all four began a
fusilade of pistol shots, which fairly
ridd1ed the body of Mr. Hallenbeck.
Mrs. Hallenbeck, the wife, ran into
the Kitchen and the
Brothers Shot at Her,
but missed. Her husband ordered her
to flee and she ran up stairs. whittier
the older woman had preceded her,
and the two barricaded themselves in
the attic Mr. Hallelbeck, although
mortally wounded, broke away from
I his assailant and went to the landing
of the stairs, where hes kept a loaded
shotgun The assailants saw him get
the gun and fed. The old man fell to
the floor and died.
The four young men were soon after
arrested betrayed by their footprints
in the snow, and because they were
known to have harbored bitter feel
ings and to have made threats against
their uncle.
Harvey Bruce turned states ev'-
dence and it was to large extent
upon his testimony that the convic-
ton of the Van Wormer brothers was
secured. Bruce was tried alone and
sentenced to Imprisonment for eigh-
teen years:
Mrs. Hallenbeck soon followed her
husband to the grave. as also did the
aged mother of the murdered man.
