RYDALE'S TONIC
a REAL CURE FOR
MT A ia P,T A

1t has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex-
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Ouinine,
Iron, ETC., stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood. but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels. freeing
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. 1t also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. 1t drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes it rich and healthy.

builder. nerve restorer. and Malaria
destroyer. Try it. it will not disap-

CITY NEWS
FACES CRAVE CHARGE
Government Accuses Man of
Defrauding Land Office

Deputy. United States Marshal Will
liam H. Grimshaw Jr. will start from
Minneapolis today for Spokane, Wash,
having in custody F. M. Barrett, charg-
ed by the United States with con-
spiracy to defraud in making alleged
fraudulent land entries under the tim
Der and stone act in Montana.
Barrett is a resident of Wheaton, but
was arrested some days ago by Deputy
United States Marshal Converse at
Browns Valley on warrant issued at
Spokane by the federal court there. At
Fergus Falls he was arraigned before
United States commissioner, who held
him to the district court. Barrett ex-
pressed a willingness to return to
Washington to face the charge against
him, and Judge William Lochren at
Minneapolis yesterday made the for
NAL order for his transfer to the West
ern state.
The government claims to have evil
dence to prove that Barrett was one of
gang of men operating in Montana,
and who made entries under the terms
of the timber and stone act and who
were alleged to be in the employ of a
lumber company. Barrett denies his
guilt and is anxious to return to Spo-
kane, where the alleged conspiracy was
affected, and face his accusers.
In company with the deputy marshal
he leaves today for the West.

BOARD F(UA[lzES
BANK ASSESSMENTS
Tax Body Generally Raises
Amounts Where Changes

The state board of equalization yes
terday equalized the assessment of
state and national banks, and made a
start on private banking institutions.
The general effect of the equalization
will be an increase, but there were a
number of reductions in assessments
where it was shown from the reports
of the banks that the assessors had
placed the values of the property at
too high a figure.
Comparatively few changes were
made in the assessment of Twin City
banks. The larger institutions We're
left untouched. The Clark National
bank, of Minneapolis, the assessment of
which was $500, was increased 95
per cent, and the Swedish American
bank, of Minneapolis, making return
of $175,000, was increased Is per cent.
The only change in st. Paul banks was
a Is per cent increase of the Scandi-
navian American bank, the assessment
for which was $4,000.
Numerous Small Changes
Among the changes in state and ma
tional banks were the following:

ELECTION JUDGES
MIX THEIR PAPERS
Send Tally Sheets to City Clerk In
stead of to canvassing Board


The judges Of election of the Fourth
precinct of the Sixth ward were yes
terday summoned to appear before the
canvassing board and supply the miss
ing returns for the Democratic candi-
dates from their precinct. The tally
sheets had been sent in to the city
clerk, but the recapitulation sheet was
missing. However, when the ballot
box from that precinct was opened the
sheet was found therein The tally
sheets should have been inclosed and
the recapitulation sheet sent to the
city clerk. AS a matter of red tape
the judges We're required to return the
sheets again in the proper manner.
In the count, the Fourth precinct of
the Sixth ward gave Moriarty 10 votes
and Yoerg 20, as reported by T h e
10 b e Thursday morning. The con-
test between these two candidates for
the legislature was very close Mortar
ty won out by the small margin of 8
votes on the first count.
Yesterday the board finished the can
vass of the Ninth, Tenth and Eley-
enth wards and Monday will canvass
the seven country precincts.

Unless City Engineer Rundlett re-
ceives substantial evidence of the in
tention of the Twin City Telephone
company 10 remove its poles from
Hague avenue between Chatsworth
and Victoria streets soon, and estab-
lish underground conduits, he says he
will order out a crew to chop down the
poles as soon as sufficient number of
men can be assembled.
Three months ago the city council
passed a resolution, ordering the com
pany to remove its poles and wires
from that portion of Hague avenue
and in the event of failure to do so,
instructed the city engineer to Sc
move them. The company paid no at
tention to the order, and a month ago,
at the request of property owners who
want the street boulevarded, the coun-
Gil passed another resolution ordering
the city engineer to remove the poles
within fifteen days unless the COM
pany complied within that time.
The company replied that it had or
dered material for the construction of
underground conduits on that street,
but that the material had not yet ar
rived and therefore the removal of the
poles had been delayed. City Engineer
gRundlett allowed the company more
than two weeks of grace, and yester-
day announced his intention of order
ing out crew to chop down the poles.
Barry Seeks Delay
Roland r. Barry, st. Paul manager
of the company, stated last night that
he had received no official notification
of the city engineers intentions.
Il know nothing further than what
the newspapers have said regarding the
case. will think the matter over and
will later decide just what to do. The
material for the conduits has been or
dered but has not arrived, unless it
came in late this afternoon At any
rate we will ask for an extension of
time"
City Engineer Rundlett when in
formed of Mr.. Barry's statement, said:
Il shall not again notify the COM
pany. We have several times ordered
1T to remove the poles, and as the coun-
ell has instructed me to do so if it does
not, 1 will begin to organize crew
Monday morning to chop them down,
unless receive substantial evidence
of the intention of the company to re-
move the poles this fall. 1t must prove
to me that it intends to construct the
conduits this fall and place the wires
underground. ] will remove the poles
because the order of the city council
makes it necessary for me to do so.
