Supervisors Decide to Cut Off
Portion of Quarter When No
Sales Were Made
COMPLETE SETTLEMENT MADE
Final Adjudication Of ciearet Mulct
Tax Case is Reached - Drainage
Matter East Of the City is Consider
ed by the Supervisors, and Claims
For Damages Are Allowed.

The board of supervisors, at it's clos
ing session for March, Wednesday af-
ternoon, voted to remit to the Amer
lean Tobacco Company the cigaret
mulct tax Of the last forty days or
the final quarter of the year 1901, dur
ing which time the eight dealers that
were being protected by the tobacco
company quit selling cigarets, upon
advice by the tobacco company, which
foresaw unfavorable decisions In the
cases that were then pending in court.
The American Tobacco Company re-
Gently made a partial settlement with
County Treasurer Cooper for the pay
ment Of the nulct tax, according to
the provisions OF the recent decision
in the United States supreme court.
Now that the board has decided to re-
init the small portion asked, COM
plete settlement has been made.
The original tax for the forty days
In question amounted to $266.64 or
1888 for each dealer. The penalties,
Of course, were not included, amounts
ing to $133.92, making the aggregate
amount of the reduction $400.56. This
left, for the American Tobacco COM
pany, to pay into the county treasury
$566.72, and check for that amount
was given the treasurer today. With
the other payment, $7,321.50, made a
few weeks ago, the county treasury is
enriched by the sum of $7,SSS.22.
Draining Damage Claims Settled.
Another important matter that came
before the board Of supervisors Wed
nesday afternoon was the claims for
damages resulting from the proposed
drainage Of the lowlands lying east
of the city, in order that the land may
be rendered tillable by carrying off
the water that covers it during the
greater portion Of the year, following
the high water season in the spring.
The drainage petition Of George f..
Kirby, r. A. Lackey, ct al, has been
before the board for some time. w.
F. Koontz. George B. Crazy and w. B.
Beeson, the appraisers appointed to in
vestigate the claims for damages, re-
ported Wednesday afternoon, and up
on their report the board awarded the
claims. Logan and Rosanna Watson
filed claim for $3.50 per acre for all
land used In constructing the drain
age ditch. The board allowed them
$40 as the value of the land used.
Mary Powell's claim was for rea-
sonable compensation for moving q
fence, and $40 was allowed her. I'm
less unforeseen complications arise the
work on the drainage ditch will be
completed this spring. The water from
the lowlands will flow into Timber
creek and will eventually reach the
river.
The board, with It's duties of We'd
nesday afternoon, completed it's work
for the March term and adjourned sine
die.

Deafness. Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is Moth
ing but an infiamed conditions of the
mucous surface.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case Of deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

he was cheated out of quarter sec
ton of North Dakota lend, Herman
Kempe. an old German of this city.
in petition filed Wednesday after
noon, for the March term Of the dis
trict court, asks judgment In the. sum
OF $4,000 each from w. r. Bennett and
J. r. Binford, members of the firm Oh
Bennett & Binford, lawyers and real
estate agents. Kenpe's attorneys pre-
fer charges that are extremely sensa-
tional, and which are given IN SUD
stance in the petition, as follows:
Kelnpe's claim for damages, alleged
to have been sustained by him, re-
suited from the trade OF the building
on West Main street, formerly known
as the Spencer Hotel, to j. III. Mineah.
in exchange for 800 acres of land be-
longing to Mr. Mineah in Mercer coun-
tv North Dakota, The deal, Kempe
alleges. was put thru by Bennett q
Binford, who secured deeds TO them-
selves for both properties before the
transfer was closed. kempe alleges
however, that Bennett & Binford, when
redeeding the Dakota land to him, only
conveyed to him one-half Of the orig
inal acreage, CIR 100 acres, and have
retained the rest. Kempe's allegation
sets forth that Bennett & Binford APP
preached him for trade, claiming 10
him that they owned the North Ia
kota land. He, SO he sets forth, deed
ed them the West Main street property
and the deed, by mutual consent, was
placed in the hands Cd w. r. Moon,
until Kempe might have time to exam
inc the land or ascertain it's value.
Moon, it is alleged, altho claiming to
represent Kempe, and be his adviser,
was really in the employ Of Bennett q
Binford. 1t is also set forth that Ben
nett & Binford, In the meantime, Sc
cured a deed from j. H. Mineah for the
Dakota land, and, securing the kempe
deed, conveyed it to Kempe. The petit
ton states the actions and representa-
lions of the defendants were false,
fraudulent and untrue, and in the
transaction the plaintiff alleges that
two sets OF names and signatures were
used by the defendants. and that -. n.
Bennett and w. r. Bennett are one and
the same persons, and Raymond Bin
ford and ]. r. Binford are the same.
Mr.. Binford, when asked about the
case, said that there was nothing TO
it, but as yet he had nothing to say
for publication, and would not until his
answer was prepared and ready to file.

THE PERLEY OPERA COMPANY.
Will Sing the Latest Comedy Opera
at the Odeon Saturday Night.

at the odeon Saturday Night.
The statement that the Frank L.
Perley Opera Company, which will be
seen at the Odeon Saturday evening
in ."The Girl and the Bandit" a new
comic opera, is the greatest singing
organization before the American pub
lie today. rests for the present on Mr..
Perley's word.
And vet considering Mr.. Perley's ex-
perience as a manager and producer
Of comic operas and comic opera sing
ers. it is but fair to give some consid-
Grafton to what In an unknown mol
vidua1 would seem mere idle boasting.
This man who stayed for ten years
the recent lamentable disbanding OF
the famous "Bostonians," and who de-
veloped, Alice Nielsen and gave Victor
Herbert the opportunities which have
made his name immortal In American
music, ought to know what he Is talk
ing about.
Considering the method pursued by
Mr.. Perley in selecting the one huns
dred members Of the Perley Opera
Company, 1T would be surprising II
he had anything but an excellent or
ganization. More than l,lO0 voices
were tried before the chorus was de-
cided on, and these trials covered
period Of several months. AS a result
the company is entirely free from
knocked kneed tenors, flatulent bas-
sos, stringy sopranos and opaque con-
traltos. which so often blur what
would otherwise be a magnificent
stage picture.
The principals Of this company are
with few exceptions people more or
less new in the profession, but whose
talents have appealed to the eyes and
ears Of this trained manager.
Viola Gillette, the prima donna con-
tralto is remembered only for the small
part of Prince Charming in "The
Beauty and the Beast; but the mem
ory includes beautiful girl with an
almost perfect figure and rich voice.
In the future she will have added to
this remuneration of her qualities that
of a real dramatic ability. Her love
scenes with Henry Bergman alone Will
bring her fame as a dramatic con-
tralto.
sweet little Alice Dovey did some
thing or other last season and was
probably chorus girl before that, but
before this year passes by she Will un-
auestionably be known as a second
Alice Nielsen. She trained four years
under Madame Cellerini. She has the
same qualities of refinement and daint-
mess which won Alice Nielsen her way
and has voice of equal power and
brilliancy.
Mabel Hite, "the funniest girl on the
American stage" is a graduate from
the ranks of vaudeville, and Frank
Perley gave her a diploma. She has
a way all her own, and the way she
gets amusement out of character OPP
posite whom she is playing without in
any way detracting from the work of
the otner is extremely artistic.
Alice Hosmer of course, is so thor
oughly identified with the productions
made by De Wolf Hopper as to be very
familiar to all. She has the best part
OF her career in this opera.
Joseph Miron has been a part OF the
history of musical comedy since Char
ley Hoyt first produced THE Brass
