CLOSING THE CAMPAIGN.

Two weeks from today the re-
suit of the Presidential election OF
1904 will be announced, says the
Washington Post independently.
The prevalent feeling is that the
Republican party will be trium-
plant. President Roosevelt is san.
guine of victory, as he has been
throughout the campaign. Repub-
lican leaders do not admit the pos
sibility of defeat. The more op-
timistic of them, like the official
prognosticator, Gen. Charles II.
Grosvenor, assert that the cleo
toral vote for Roosevelt and Fair.
banks will no fall below 300. The
gambling fraternity continues to
offer odds of 5 to l on the Repub-
ucdn ClckeC.
But the word has gone out to
Republican spellbinders that there
must be no relaxation of effort.
"Take nothing for granted
work, work, work." This is the
admonition from high quarters.
The Republican campaign is to
be waged to a finish as if party
disaster is impending, rather than
the predicted landslide Secre-
tary of State Hay is to be heard
from. Other Cabinet officers are
on the stump, and it is possible
that the President himself may
break the license before election

ORIGINAL TAX BILL.

By reading Draft A, Section 90,
page II, of the bills proposed by
the West Virginia Tax commits
sion, you will find the following
relative to coil, oil and gas:
On every license to carry on
the business of mining coal, or OF
producing petroleum oil, or nat
ural gas a sum which shall as
certain as follows: Every person
carrying on such business shall
snail present to the auditor a
cense and with such application
shall present to the aduitor a
written statement under oath
showing:
ga The county or counties in
which such business is to be car
ried on;
(b) The number of coal mines,
oil wells or gas wells in each
county;
- (c) The estimated production
of each coal mine, oil well or gas
well during the period for which
the license is desired. At the time
of applying for his license he
shall, if he intends to operate a
coal mine, pay to the auditor a
sum equal to one-third of a cent
a ton of the estimated production !,
if he intends to operate an oil well,
a sum equal to one-half a cent per
barrel of the estimated produce
ton, and if he intends to operate
a gas well, a sum equal to one and
one-thrd cents per hundred thous-
and feet of the estimated produc-
ton.
This is the bill the Republicans
did not pass, and hence coal, oil,
and gas will not be taxed.

no doubt, to reply to Judge Park

A fortnight Of the election finds
the Democrats more hopeful and
their campaign more aggressive.
AS stated in The Post several days
ago, they actually believe there is
a chance to win. With Bryan on
the hastings in the West, and
Cleveland in the East, convinc-
ing evidence is presented that the
party is lining up for battle in
more compact form than at any
time since 1892. 1t is a repetition
of that surprising election that
Democrats hope for and Republi-
cans fear.
In spite of adverse betting, the
Democrats count confidently upon
carrying New York State for both
the National and State tickets,
and insist that there is an even
chance at least in both West Vir-
ginia and Indiana. The New Jer-
sey outlook is not so bright, but
the Democrats believe that New
Jersey, Connecticut and Delaware
will surely follow New York s
lead.
Both parties are well supplied
with funds-reports to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The Re-
publicans are in almost as good
shape as they were in 1900, and

DAMAGE DONE BY LIGHT ING
Mondays Electric Storm Unusual
~ Severe.
Bolts Strike Four Different Dwell
ling Houses.
Electric Light Wires Cut and Ser
vice Interrupted.

Lightning struck in eleven different
| places in New Ulm during the cleo
trlcal storm of Monday night, the
most severe disturbance of it's kind
that has been visited upon this section
II many years. The play of the light
ming was incessant and the storm was
at its worst between and 10 O'Clock.
| when practically all of the damage
was done. Four dwelling houses were
struck, the street lighting service was
Interrupted and the telephone com
pany suffered. Fortunately there were
no casualties and fires did not start.
At the residence Of Anton Schmitz
on State street a bolt hurled the Chin
ney from the roof and then jumped to
the front gate, where it splintered both
posts, allowing the gate to fall to the
ground.
In Carl Tastels house on German
street the lightning played havoc. It
struck the chimney, cutting the bricks
neatly and taking off one side, tore a
patch of shingles off the roof and then
proceeded to strip the plaster off two
OF the living rooms. In its descent of
the chimney it brought down a cloud
of SCOT and this was scattered through
the house.
Farther out the same street a bolt
passed down the chimney of Paul Bor-
chert's house into the cellar, but the
greatest damage was probably done to
building on State street occupied by
Ben Bogatke. There the lightning
entered the walls, tore off plaster and
splintered the floors, and all but
wrecked the building.
Down town the Dakota house came
in for attention. The runaway cur
rent entered along the electric light
wires, burned out the fuses in the
lamps and threw the big hostelry into
darkness. Near L. j. Buenger's store
limb was torn from a tree and the
telephone company had about twenty
instruments burned out.
Where the lightning really exerted
itself was in using the electric light
wires roughly. At Sixth South and
German an arc lamp was wrenched
from its fastenings and at Eleventh
South and Minnesota the wires were
cut. They were cut again in the alley
at First North street and, on the same
line, at Third North street; a similar
break occurring at Seventh North and
Washington. Supt. Wagner did not
find it necessary to stop the plant but
the street lighting service was put out
of commission for several hours.
Wind accompanied the storm but
did little damage here, although il
levelled several wheat stacks on VIM.
Borchert's farm in Lafayette. The
| rainfall was not excessive, amounting
to 1.62 inches, and, although hail des-
cended, it did not injure the crops
particularly.

WHEAT HIT DOLLAR MARK
That Price Quoted on Local Market
Yesterday.

New Ulm had dollar wheat yester-
day, or rather that was the price
quoted on the local market for No. L.
In reality there is very little grain of
the best grade in this vicinity and
farmers generally are more interested
in the price of No. 2, which was 9S
cents.
Not since the Letter boom of 1898
has wheat brought as high as one
hundred cents in this city but the rust
reports have sent the price soaring.
On Friday 81 cents was paid for No.
2 but the day following it dropped to
81. Monday morning there was an
advance of 2 cents per bushel and yes
terday it touched the highest mark in
years.
Grain dealers will venture no opin-
ion as to whether the price will hold,
but the general belief appears to be
that that it has not reached its best.

large deductions were made by the
banks for depreciation in the value OF
bank buildings, doubtful paper, which
reduced the total from a third to a
half. The system followed of allowing
only a uniform reduction OF ten per
cent made a large difference and the
bankers object to receiving only the
ten per cent reduction on the capital
stock, surplus and undivided proflts
as it does not equal the reduction for
merly allowed.
In 1902 one bank reported capital
stock $3.50, 600, surplus 1000, undivided
profits 81, 701, making a total of $3.50, 1el.
From that was taken SlOO6O Tor the

was taken and left SCI, 220 on which the

In 1903 the same bank was assessed

PLEA BY BANKERS
They Think Present System of
Taxation Unjust.
Want to Return to the Old
System.
MR.. MULYANE TALKS.
Tells Board That Banks Are
Beneficial Institutions.
The Board Does Not Take Any
Action.

John R. Mulvane and Major VIII
liam Sims appeared before the board of
county commissioners this morning to
object to the manner in which the
banks are assessed. They think that
the banks We're forced last year to pay
excessive taxes.
Up to 1908 the manner of assessing
the Topeka banks was haphazard and
the assessed valuations of the banks
were comparatively low. County Clerk
Newman decided last year that he
would use the powers vested in county
clerks to raise the assessed valuations
of the banks if assessments like those
of previous years were made. W L.
Allison, who assessed the banks, Sc
cured statements from them showing
much larger totals of assessed valua-
tiOns than had ever been given. The
assessed valuations secured by him
from the six banks, which had been
doing business for some years, went on
the tax rolls at 1886, 335 The assessed
valuation for the same banks in 1902
was $3.50 95, the increase being S129 $40.
In 1903 the banks were assessed on
their capital stock, surplus and undi-
vided profits from which a reduction of
10 per cent was allowed and also the
value of real estate owned by the
banks. The banks had, before last year,

side of Topeka banks are generally
assessed at a valuation of about %
per cent. In fact in many counties
the assessment is only 10 per cent.
You must treat business interests
fairly. Many towns offer induce

ul0usly low rate
Major Sims said: last year the
First National bank paid taxes on
$4,000 valuation, of personal prop
erty not owned by the bank"
The bankers wish to have the old
custom followed in making up the
assessed valuation of the banks,
which viii mean the payment of a
less amount in taxes than was paid
in 1908. The commissioners took the
matter under Amusement. The COM
nnissioners cannot act officially on the
matter until June. when the commits
sioners sit as board of equalization,
but the bankers would like to have
the commissioners announce before
hand what they Will do in June. The
uissiOners Will probably follow
the system of 1903 in making UP the
assessed valuations of the banks.
