AN IMPORTANT RULING.
State Supreme Court Rules That Take.
Must Be Paid on Credits.

NcrmilliOn, s. d.. Jan. 3.-Onc OF the
most important decisions of the SUI
preme court i'm recent years was handed
down last Saturday. 1t relates to the
taxation of moneys and credits. n the
higher authority revcrses the decision
of Judge Smith to- the effect that the
board OF county commissioners had no
right to assess certain moneys and
credits owned by residents of Clay
county. The decision will mean that
the city of Vermillion alone will Sc
cure about 81 100 for taxes of 1904 that
otherwise would not have been in sight.
The decision of the supreme court has
more than a local Significance. 1T will
affect nearly every town. city and coun-
ty in the state. During the year 100
there was n general movement to as
sesS mortgages and moneys. but the
proposition met with IA stubborn resist

since no return had been made by the

boards attorney argued that ii the

the old law was In force. and If the old

Mouth and Eyes Covered with crusts

lous Cure by Cuticura
When my little boy was six m0nthe
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that VI at once called in the doctor.
We then ven to another doctor. but
he could not help him. and In our de-
spatr we went to a third one. Matters
became so bad that he had regular
holes In his cheeks, large enough TO- put
a finger into. The food had to be CIV
Ell with a spoon, for his mouth was
covered with crusts as thick as a fin
ger. and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
pirate, as did also his eyes. Hands.
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body, was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid In his bed. we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face, and make
an open sore. I think his face must
have itched most faarfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing coyid
help, and 1 had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope. hoping that the sea air might
cure him. otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. u
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
entity. and we soon saw a miracle. \
friend OF ours spoke about Cuticusa.
We made n trial with Cuticura Soap.
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed q
+, decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared 1t also
began to disappear. and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely we'll,

never before. Il. Hohrath, President
