WANT ASSESSMENT REDUCED.
Merchants of MiIbank Object to State
Boards Advertisement.


Boards Appraisement.
A meeting attended by the mer-
chants of Milbank was held recently
for the purpose of devising some way
to reach the state board of equaliza-
ton and get a reduction of assessment
as left by that board on stocks of mer-
chandise. All the stocks in the city
were assessed by the assessor at 40
per cent of their actual value. This
was raised 100 per cent by the state
board, making an assessment of 80 per
cent of the actual value upon which
the tax is to be levied. One Milbank
storekeeper paid last year taxes
amounting to $264.54 on his stock. In
1905, on slightly increased stock,
his taxes are 1915. In Grant county
the total value of merchandise as left
by the state board was $7S,145 in 1904,
and $186,366 in 1905. This large in
crease in the face of the fercest COM
known is claimed to be burden. They
claim bank stocks and real estate
should be made to pay some of the
tax. A. V. Fisher, j. S. Farley and
August Mittlestaed were appointed a
committe to- seek the cooperation of
other counties and see what can be
done. Legal counsel, which has been
employed, clai mthere is nothing in
the statutes or constitution that pre-
vents the state board of equalization
from revising its work.

Analysis of Medicines Open to All

There is no public demand and
there is not the slightest public neces-
sity for a law compelling the publ
cation OF the formula Of proprietary
medicines says the Committee on
Legislation of the Proprietary Asso-
citation. Every Health Commissioner
and every Pure Food Commissioner
an the country, as well as every pri-
vate physician or chemist, if he
pleases, has the right to make an
analysis of any proprietary medicine
and to publish the result and to tell
the public what he thinks, and there
is nothing in the world to prevent
such action. But that is not what the
agitators for such legislation want
Their object is to destroy the sale of
such remedies entirely"

LIONESs ESCAPES FROM KEEPER.
Beast Spreads Terror Among the People
of Newark.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22-Five thou
sand men. women and children, who
had been watching a daredevil" BIZ
cycle riding feat by man known as
Tourbillon, fed in terror before a full
grown lioness, which escaped from her
keeper in Electric Park a pleasure re-
sort in Vailsburg, the extreme western
section of Newark at 10 o'clock to-
night. There was a stampede and a
panic of ten or fifteen minutes dura-
tion Dozens of women and children
were knocked down and bruised, and
terror prevailed.
Immediately after the escape of the
lioness her trainer organized hunting
party of nearly zoo men. consisting of
policemen and other employees and some
of the more daring in the crowd. They
were armed with clubs, guns and pis-
tolls. and the order was given to kill
the animal rather than to allow her to
escape capture and make her way
toward the crowd or into the open
country to the south and west of the
park.
The lioness was finally cornered be-
tween a building and a fence. She was
scared into her cage by a man with a
torch,
