BASE BALL GAME.

The Wahpeton Juniors play
ed their opening game of base
ball for the season of 1907 last
Saturday afternoon with the
Fairmount Juniors. defeating
them by a score of % to-
Although the day wasn't the
kind that rooters rave over
there was a passable crowd
present to see Youngquist up
hold the promise, which the
few games he pitched last year
gave, of an adept in the art of
manipulating crooked ways for
the elusive little sphere and
hold the Fairmount boys down
to two runs, striking six men
out and passing one to the first
bag on balls, umpire Wallace
Mordon counting them out in
the one, two, three order for
seven innings when the Fair
mount boys decided that the
day was lost and gave up.
The team work of the two
mines was excellent as a whole
and although there were num-
erous errors made on both
sides, those of the Wahpeton
boys were made at opportune
moments letting but two runs
over the plate. Fairmount was
less lucky and % scores were
made, much to the delight of
the home 'Rah 'Rahs. Allen
did the twirling for Fairmount
and Oliver and Hurley held
down the little square place
behind the home plate.
The Juniors played and won
eight games during the season
of 1906 and the hot pace they
have set for 'O7 bids fair to put
them in the lead among High
School teams.

Kinney Thursday night and
carried off a ladies costly fur
jacket and other articles of less
value. The robbery was a dar
ing one as the thieves secured
most of their booty in the bed.
chamber where Mr.. and Mrs.
Kinney were sleeping. There
is no clue to the thieves. 1t is
supposed a skeleton key was
used in effecting an entrance
to the house. The robbere
went at once to the room oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Kinney
and secured about five dollars
in coin from Mr., Kinney's
trousers pockets. A valuable
plucked otter jacket belonging
to Mrs. Kinney, valued at not
less than 5000 was taken, also
a cloth overcoat worth not over
$1O-and a valuable fur over
coat hanging on the same rack
was left undisturbed. A Jewel
case on the dresser was taken
out doors aud the contents ex-
amined, but it was found intact
with the contents undisturbed
on the front steps of the house
in the morning. This is one of
the most peculiar features of
the robbery as the case con-
tanned four or five watches, one
valued at 1925, and other jew
elery that would have made it
a rich haul. Just why the rob-
bers left the case after getting
it safely out of doors is a
mystery. DR.. Spottswood's
house was entered the same
night but the men were fright.
ened away by the arrival of
members of the family about 2
o'clock in the morning: Mr..
Kinney offers a reward of $25
for the return of the jacket
taken from his place.

Assessment Amendments

The Hutchinson News suggests the
following amendments to the assess
ment laws of the state:
First-Provide a penalty for the
failure of the assessor to list all prop
eruy at actual value. This also means
that the constitutional exemption of
5000 when due should be taken from
the actual value.
Second-Compelt the assessor to ad-
minister formal oath to property
owners in which he shall swear that
he has listed all his taxable property.
Provide penalty for failure to do so.
Third-Witl, all property listed at
actual value and SO reported TO the
county clerk, let that be divided by
three for the purpose of taxation.
This makes uniform division over
the state instead of the ridiculous
differences now. 1t would obviatc
the necessity of charging Il lot of
maximum levies which are now on
the statutes under the general under
standing of about one-third assess
ment.
Commenting on the laws as 1T pres
ent enforced, the News remarks:
The assessment and taxation laws
of Kansas are apparently fair and
square, but in execution they are as
crooked as any rams horn that was
ever rammed. The law provides for
the assessment of all property at its
actual or true value in money. In
practice, some property is assessed at
one third, some at every faction i'm
aginao ole. and a lot is not assessed at
all Read the statutes and you will
think that Kansas has Il reasonable
good law on the subject. Find out
how it works and you will say it is a
farce.

Kansas City Markets.

Kansas City Stock Yards. January %. 1907.
All apprehension regarding a short
age of fed cattle was dissipated for
the present by the appearance of
20, 900 cattle on the market here to-
day. There was IA small run yester-
day. and the market was stroog to 10
cents higher, but prices are steady to
10 cents lower today The situation
is pretty evenly balanced. and quick
ly shifts with the changing volums of
tile supply. The fact that prices have
been we'll sustained all this month,
with receipts slightly larger than dur
ing last January, in fact the heaviest
cattle receipt on record for this mark
ct in any January, emphasizes the
wide out let for beef, and the healthy
state of the market. At the same
time, the limit of the ability of the
market TO stand up under pressure of
liberal supplies has. been closely ap.
preached at all times during the
month. and continued heavy receipts
will bring declines, particularly on
half fat stuff. On the other hand,
should February receipts be small, as
has been freely predicted, strength
will quickly become the dominant
feature of the market. Top steers
are worth 5000 to 40, but few of
this class are included today, the rank
and file of the steers selling today at
S4. S5 TO 1915. She stuff is weak to 10
lower today, cows selling at S2.75 to
81 25, heIfers $500 to S4.75, bulls

Today is the first day in long time
when the old fashioned hog run of
10000 head has been received here
The market has been rapidly adyanc-
ing last few days. reaching S6.9 for

strength of the demand that the
