Lawrence County Residents Object t.
Increased Valuation Returned by

Suit for Reduction.

Deadwood, S. D., Jan. 24.-An inter-

circuit court Of this district. 1t will
be brought by the taxpayers oe Law
renee county against the state for the
taxes for the year 1905. At the annual
ization held, at Pierre last August. the
board increased the valuation as re-
turned by the county auditor on all
city and town realty in Lawrence
county 121x per cent.
This created a great stir among the
property holders in the county, as the
value of realty had not increased dur,
ing the last year, and the valuation
was much higher than the valuation
treasurer of Lawrence county has been
enjoined from accepting more than,
eight-ninths of all taxes assessed
against town and city realty in law,
renee country for 1905.
The petition through which this ac-
ton was taken has been received en-,
Enthusiastically by all taxpayers. The
committee appointed by the Lead Com
mercial club has requested that each
taxpayer In the county contribute at
least 81 on each $1,000 on town and
city property to help pay the expense
Of litigation.
Coe I. Crawford of Huron, s. C. Pol.
ley of Deadwood and G. b. Thompson
Of Lead have been retained as counsel
Tor the plaintiffs.
Lawrence county feels that it has.
Just cause for action, as records show
that its city realty is paying on a 6Oi
per cent. greater valuation than Sioux,
Falls realty, and on 800 per cent.
greater valuation than the Minnehaha'
agricultural lands.

Newspapers Of Chin.

Archibald r. Colquhoun contributes
to the January number Of the North
American Review an interesting and in
forming article on The Chinese Press
Of Today" Peking is the home Of the
oldest newspaper in.t the world, the
Peking Gazette; and, long before the
modern newspaper made its appearance
in China, there was an extensive use
of placards and broad sheets, which,
though they often contained criticisms
of the government, were not censored,
ard indeed there are no press laws in
existence in the Middle Kingdom today.
The first modern newspaper was pub
lished in China in 1870, but the growth
of the Chinese press was slow until
after the Boxer rising. Now Picking
has three daily papers and two fort
nightly ones; Tientsin has three dailies;
shanghai has sixteen daily papers;
Foochow, Eoochow and Canton be-
tween them have some six or seven
1ailies, while there are five at Hong
Kong and one at Kiaochow Besides,
several papers are now published In the
interior. In all these, there are. as in
American and English papers, leaders
and lsaderettes, news items, kilograms,
vertisements. In describing the Chi
nese paper. Mr.. Colquhoun says:
Along the top, where we are ac-
customed to see the title. runs the pious
,>xhortation to respect the written
word and the custom of reverently col
lecting and burning all printed matter

some of the treaty ports. Special COR

mistakes. The acknowledgement is
made to Western Friend. and the
leading papers have foreigner to ad-
wise on foreign news. but some of the
more advanced statesmen have men to
translate direct to them, as had Ii
Hung Chang. Advertisements in the
more popular papers are as much in
evidence as in our own papers, and
war news is given prominence. This is
n modern development, for at the time
OF the Chino-Japanese war the defeats
of China were never chronicled, but
imaginary victories were dithyram-
bically described, and the same hap
pened in some parts of China at the
time of the Boxer uprising. AS q rule

A BAR OF SOAP

Story of How a Horrible Mas

General Attack by Reds.

Yankton, s. d.. Jan: pa bar OF

caused the wiping out Of old Fort Sui
ly, this state. by large assembly OF
Indians way back in the early '70s, as
E. S. Violin. a pioneer citizen OF TINS
county, related yesterday.
Mr.. Violin, then boy, was at Fort
Sully, where only 800 soldiers were
quartered at the time. 1t had been q
hard year, and the Indians, as was
their custom when the larder was
empty, had been coming into the post
could be counted from the fort, which
WAS called fort" by courtesy, 1t being
nothing but a group of log cabins IN
those days.
The Indians were hungry and ugly
and ready for any move that pass
ing mood might suggest. They knew
well they far outnumbered the slender
garrison, and the latter also knew it,
land much uneasiness was felt.
While this was the situation some
freight arrived by OK teams from down
river. and during the temporary abb
sence Of the freighters an Indian boy
climbed up into wagon. secreted
something under his coat and started
down. Young Violin saw the move, and
being identified with the wagon Che
afterwards freighted himself for many
years to up river points) he went after
Ing him out of the wagon.
The fall hurt the boy and he went
off in dangerous mood, with bar.
of soap, the article he had stolen, lying
on the ground where it had dropped
as he fell.
Violin at once came in for good
reprimand from man at the post for
what he felt would bring the whole
band of Indians down on the fort and
the white boy was scared to death, as
the approach of every Indian was ta
ken to mean an attack on the fort.
The news went round the little gar,
rison and great uneasiness was felt
for several days.
The indian lad however. must have
thought it the proper time to keep
still. as nothing more was heard of the
matter
Mr.. Violin in telling the story said
he had not forgotten the lesson, and,
even yet he has the creeps as he thinks
what his hasty and thoughtless action
might have brought on THAT little bandi
OF pioneers at Fort Sully, all on ac-
count Of a little bar OF soap.

Why Women Should Wear Hats in

(5) Womans priarity in the fan. Adam
