THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS,
AFTER cANVAssINe THE IN
CREASE IN VALUATIONS,
FIX THE RATE
Al Only ThiPty-FiVG Gents
On the Hundred Dollar Valuation.
Values In Anderson County
Have Increased Over One
Million DoIlars-Peo-
pie Get Benefit.

The county commissioners have
done a good days work today. They
following order was entered on the
court minutes this afternoon:
I'm view of the increased valuation
Of the property of Anderson county.
amounting to over one million dollars.
the county commissioners reconsider
cd the levy at forty cents on the one
hundred dollars valuation. made at the
February term of the court. and fixed
the levy at thirty-five cents on the one
hundred dollars valuation"
When it is remembered that Ander-
son county was already enjoying an
extremely low tax rate. this is indeed
a good showing for the county. This
places Anderson county possibly at
the top of the column for low rate
taxation, and the county has the dis
tinctiOn also of being one of the few
counties of the state operating on a
strictly cash basis. Tax Assessor
Ben Jackson is entitled to much of
the credit for securing this lower
tax rate for the county. as his rendi-
lions showed a wonderful increase in
values. The valuations show. too.
that Anderson county is prosperous
and growing. for without a good, solid
growth no such increase in values
could have been shown.

FALLING TRUSS ROD
CAUSED THE WRECK

1t Is given as the opinion Of those
who examined into 1t that It was a
falling truss road that caused the dis.
astrOus wreck az LateXo yesterday
morning, which resulted in the death
Of Engineer Frank Tarbutton.
The opinion at first was that the
switch had been tempered with. and
that it was probably thrown with the
intention Of causing wreck. but on
examination il was decided the wreck
WIS purely from accidental causes.
The theory Is that q north bound train
had "a truss rod that was dragging.
and that 90 had fallen low enough to
catch in the switch. throwing IL. Thus
the switch was left open 10 catch the
first train from the north There was
nothing 10 indicate the switch had
been purposely left open.

PRESIDENT CON-
MENDS Mr.. KNOX.
SAID TO HAVE WRITTEN TO
HIM ABOUT SMOOT
SPEECH.

Pittsburg. Feb. 1s-"President
Roosevelt is among those who have
written Senator Knox. congratulate
ing him on his stand on the Utah
question so far as the seating Of
Reed Smoot is concerned"
This remark was made here today
by Judge James S. Young, OF Pitts
burg, who had returned from Wash
ington after spending Sunday with
Senator Knox, who has been simply
fayed alive by the woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union and others
of his former friends in Pittsburg
since he took the floor and advocat-
ed that Smoot be seated, contending
that he could not under any condi-
ton be considered as breaker OF
the law, no matter what members
OF the Mormon Church, to which he
belongs, may have done.
Judge Young was formerly n part
ner Of Mr.. Knox, and it is understood
that he rushed TO Washington the
moment the newspapers of Pittsburg
began scoring his old partner for his
stand on the Utah question The
storm in Pittsburg was sometime
to be remembered, and the women
are yet writing letters, the tenor Of
which is that hanging would be too
good for their former idol, Philander
Chase Knox. Judge Young. however.
smiled when he came into court this
morning and, while he would not
discuss the letter of the President
to Mr.. Knox at Washington. he made
a statement which can be considered
as practically coming from Senator
Knox.
Senator Knox" said Judge Young.
has received letters from promi-
nent people from all parts Of the
United States, including the Presi-
dent himself, and they all commend
him for the ability he displayed in
handling the subject and the cour-
age he showed in taking his stand
on the question. These letters were
received from men in all walks OF
life, including lawyers, theologians,
and, in fact, some of the best men
in the country. Undoubtedly, Smoot
is entitled to his seat on constitu-
tional grounds"

FUNERAL OF DR.. CURRIER.
Held Tomorrow Afternoon at Farm
Near Hinckiy.
From Mondays Daily

rTOHl mOIudS Dduy.
The funeral of DR.. j. C. Curryer, one
of the leading horse trainers and experts
in the west and for twenty years assis-
tant superintendent of the Minnesota
Farmers Institutes, will be held at
Hinckley tomorrow afternoon. The serv-
ices will be held at the farm near the
town at l:30 O'Clock, and the interment
will be at the cemetery in Hinckley at
three o'clock.
People from all part of the state will
be in attendance, for DR.. Curryer was
widely known. Delegations from the
state agricultural school will leave st.
Paul by train tomorrow morning and
will be met at Hinckley by vehicles pro-
vided to convey them to the farm.
While DR.. Curryer had been i'll for
two months, and it was known that he
was afflicted with Bright's disease, the
announcement of his death on the farm
at 80 o'clock Saturday afternoon came
as II shock to his many friends. For
eight years he made his home on Vir-
ginia avenue, leaving st. Paul month
ago to take his abode on his farm near
Hinckley.
He is survived by widow and four
sons: Alva B., Spokane, Wash; Iva D.,
Hinckley; j. H. and A. M. Curryer of
st. Paul.
Besides his connection with the farm
ers' Institutes DIR. Curryer served as
member of the board of managers of the
Minnesota State Agricultural society.
Outside of the state his name was ia
miliar as the author of a couple of
works, one being 'The Education of the
Horse"
He was born in log cabin on farm
in Shelby county, Ohio, on Nov. Z, 1887
He remained on the farm until he was
twenty seven years old, when he began
to study medicine and dentistry. With
the exception of about five years he al
ways had been closely connected with a
farm, breeding horses principally.
While he was practicing he lectured
at college at indianapolis. He went
to Mankato, Mimi, in 1886, and in the
following year was prevailed upon to aid
in the establishment of Minnesota
Farmers Institutes. His first work in
that connection was his representing the
horse interests on the institute plat
form, telling about the breeding and
education of the horse.
In an autobiography written by DIR.
Curryer in connection with his book,
"HOrse Sense" he says:
AS our work was new to the people,
more or less prejudice existed against it..
| volunteered to handle any unbroken
horse during the noon hour to show the
intelligence of the horse and how much
could be taught him in one hour. Out of
1913 horses handled in this way, but one
was made warm enough to sweat. The
streets during these exhibitions were
generally crowded with the people of the
town and country to see what they
pleased to term 'the fun but they were
often disappointed in this respect, as it
was the invariable rule to first gain the
confidence of the horse, and the balance
was so easy that there was but little or
no excitement about it."-Pioneer Press.
