The decision of the state board of
equalization, leaving the valuations
of railroads. express companies and
other kindred corporations at sub
stantially the same figure as last year
for assessment purposes indicates that
except for the natural increases, valu-
atoms of all other properly will re-
main about the same. AS the rail-
roads are now valued they are paying
their share of the taxes. The natural
increase in railroad properties this
year will be close to $1,000,000. Un-
less there should be horizontal raise
in valuations all around lands as well
as goods and merchandise, the board
would not be justified by any consider
alton of equity, in singing out rail-
road properties for raise. The
tabulated returns are not complete
enough to determine at this time the
approximate valuation in the state
this year as compared with last, $146,-
537,444, but this sum will be increased
considerably.

desirable advertising medium. Being pub

acter, and is therefore particularly interest
ing to all who desire to keep the run of state
affairs-political social and business.

TILL MUST WAIT.

Joseph Till, Who Is Serving a Life
Sentence for Murder Must Wait Till
October Before His Case Is De-
cided.
The state board of pardons adjourn
ed yesterday. without taking action
on the Till case This was postponed
until October 18th. Several persons
were present to appear before the
board in Tills interest, among them
D. E. Morden Of Wahpeton. The
Pembina Pioneer Express, published
in Pembina, where 1Hll's alleged crime
was committed, says:
Mr.. Morden has interested himself
very strongly in this case ever since
the trial here, at which time he was
jailor and deputy sheriff. He was
convinced that Till was not the guilty
man and has worked On the case and
discovered considerable new and i'm
portant evidence. This evidence in
part is to the effect that two men who
worked with Adam Miller in the south
ern part of the state near Fargo quar-
relied with Miller there, that they
threatened to kill him there, that
Miller was so afraid of them that he
came here, that they followed hin
here and disappeared about the time
Of the murder. Mr.. M. also has muc1
evidence from people OF high onicia'
and social position in the old country
who knew Till intimately, ali testify
ing to his good character. The short
hand notes OF the evidence which
have been missing ever since the tria
have been discovered and will for thu
first time be available for use with Thu

The republican state committee
will meet at Fargo next Tuesday, the

At this meeting the headquarters for
the campaign will also be fixed, pre-

following the precedent Of vibrating
between Fargo and that city. Two
years ago the headquarters were at
Fargo and It is likely that Jerry

REFRAIN FROM COMMENT.
German Papers Ignore Sinking Of Ves
sci by Russians.

Berlin, Aug. 4.-The press treatment
Of the sinking of the German steamer
Thea by the Vladivostok squadron pre-
sents striking contrast to the angry
protests against the seizure of the
Hamburg-American line steamer Scan
dia, captured in the Red sea, and even
the sinking of the British steamer
knight Commander by the Vladivostok
squadron, widely discussed as further
embittering Anglo-Russian relations.
All the great political dailies print the
Thea incident inconspicuously as part
Of Russian official report, without
even emphasizing the fact that the
vessel destroyed was German.
