himself able to explain his conduct
toward his brother-in-laW; but none
the less was 1T confusing and dis
agreeable to her to have 90 submit to

Calvat, upon his side, had witnessed
with an apprehensive eye the mar
rage Of Fabrice to that great lady,
who would justly be disdainful Of him
and who could not but trouble his
habits. At first, he complained of be-
ing now forced, every time he went to
the house Of his brother-in-law, to

he felt for Beatrice that sort of aver

was afraid that she would not. inspire
any affection in Marcelle ard that
she might wish to ALLEVIATE herself

UGLY ADS BARRED.

Springfield (Mass.) union.-We be-
lieve that public sentiment viii heart
lily indorse the action of the city coun-
Gil in barring advertising vehicles
from the principal business streets and
also the suspension of banners across
those streets, for advertising purposes.
While the mere consideration OF the
subject OF advertising would suggest
that every person be allowed to pur-
sue the methods which specially com
mend themselves to his Judgment,
there should be line drawn where
ever these methods interfere with
public convenience and higher civic
interests.
Glaring advertising signs are out OF
place in the public streets, whether
they are drawn by horses, propelled.
by motors, or posted upon the front
Of buildings or hung from wires
across the street. Huge, glaring de-
signs in black and red, such as have
appeared on certain buildings in.
Main street in the last few months
may attract business from certain Gle

others and they do not make for the
reputation of the city nor reflect credl'
either on the lessees or owners Of the

matters generally pay in the END
AS for the huge advertising structures,

Cleaning and Renewing Eurs.

Just at this time many owners OF
furs are receiving them from the
summer storage and finding them
dead-looking and lusterless, a condi-
ton in VIII CHI even handsome furs
are not attractive
This is usually due to the fact
that the fur is simply soiled, and il
may be- cleaned and frightened to 4
remarkable extent by a simple meth
Cd, without the slightest danger u
Injury to the article. This is the
method employed by the Russians,
who are certainly the most extensv@
users of, and probably the bost In
formed on the subject Of furs OF
any nation.
Rye bran should be heated in IN
iron or earthenware vessel being
stirred all the while, until it has be
come as hot as is bearable to the
hand. The bran should then be
poured upon the fur in liberal quan-
ties and thoroughly rubbed in. The
fur should then be brushed with n
clean brush or shaken and pounded
until all the particles Of bran have
been removed.
The result of this treatment vii
be that all dark furs have regained
their freshness and Iuster, and -
white furs appear like new.-Techni

INDICATED FASHION HINTS.

The London Lancet, which is at
times surprisingly interesting for a
reliable" publication, recently has
fixed it's attention upon the humab
overcoat. Considering the garment
not merely as a cOncealment for Il
shiny summer suit, but as a neces-
sary adjunct to the human male, the
paper concerns itself rather with the
hygiene than the fil-which after all
is fitting in a medical publication. At
the very outset it appears man blum
ders in the choice of a color. Where
he should initiate the polar bear and
Mark Twain and the Easter lily, he
swathes himself in sable pail, which
moves the Lancet to protest:
The choice of a sOmbre hue
is totallp opposed to scientific indica
tons The polar bear is not pro
vided with black fur; if he were he
would not be able to defy the cold
with that impunity which he does"
And the editor adds that it is nee
eSsary for man to perk UP a bit TO
compensate for the drearineSs ana
darkness" of winter. This may be ny
gienic, but it is not practical. Untll
Iaundries go into the overcOat wash
ing business and at cut rates man
will cling to his "somber hues" ana
leave to the municipality the task OF
lighting the streets. If we musC
brighten the landscape we VII do it
with neckties; we cannot possess
fourteen overcoats. Farther on the
Lancet strikes a more cheerful note
when we observe that:
There seems to be little doubt
that a well-chosen overcoat surround
ing a warm but light suit of clothes

WHICH WILL You Dor

Walworth County Record:--The ap-
propriations made by the last Iegisla-
ture amount to s2,225, 900, excluding the
twine plant. If all of the 1907 taxes
are paid, according to the state audi
tor, there will be realized $77S, 100,
leaving the amount to be raised for 1908
the difference Of 81, AS, 900.
Usually, the first year after the ses-
sian of the Legislature the taxes are
higher than the second year, in order
to save interest, but our reform admin
istration arranged matters in the hspe
that they could win in the pFimariss
before the levy would be made, and be-
fore the true state Of affairs would be-
come public.
You are also asked to do away with
the constitutional tax levy limit. !,

road. See pages 46 and a., above men
toned, II In doubt.
Now, Let us take Mr.. Crawford's val.
ustion of railroad property in 1896 as
basis for calculation. Remember that
Senator Kittredge was never member
OF this board; therefore, Mr.. Crawford,
not Mr.. Kittredge, was the ons'who de-
termined railroad valuations In 1896.
Comparing the valuations then fixed
by Mr.. Crawford with those fixed in
1907, and taking twenty-five mills as
the average levy (ths aforesaid sub
sidizcd organ assures us that this is cub
stantially eorrect) for the past ten years,
We find that Mr.. Crawford has cost Min.
er county exactly ss,6ss.ss q year, or
precisely $3a6so.s0 Tor the ten years
preceding 1907.
The voters Of Miner county will have
an opportunity to say in the June pri-
maries whether they think Crawford 10
worth the money.
And SO these comparisons might be
continued, embracing every county in
the state. Remember that when Govern
or Crawford is damning Senator Kilt
redge for the low railroad valuations he
himself, not Senator Kittredge fxed
THESE valuations decade ago.

RAILROADS AND FARM LANDS

The railroads of South Dakota are
reasonably worth more than thirty
thousand dollars q mile. Let anybody
try to buy them if he doubts this state.
ment. The railroad managers them
selves have submitted official prosf that
they cost more than thirty Thousand
dollars a mile. There are 8, ,433 miles Of
railroad in this state, and the reason
able worth thereof is $125, 100000. But
we find that Mr.. Crawford's board of
assessment in 1907 fixed the assessed
value at substantially $21, 900, 900, which
represents about seventeen per cent OF
the actual value.
On the other hand, farm lands were
supposedly assessed at one third of
their true value. There are 81, o3S, ,446
acres of farm lands, and they were as
sessed at sI55, ,4o7, of 500 per acre,
or s2I .e7 as the actual value. It is rea-
sonable to suppose that this represents
n fair valuation of the farm lands, TAX
ing the state as whole.
1t is noteworthy that farm lands are
assessed at practically thirty.three
per cent of their true value, while rail-
road property Is assessed at aPprsxi.
natsiy seventeen per cent Of Its actual
rsiue. 49,.

II. L. LoUcKs' VIEW

Hon. Fl. L. Loucks, the former popu-
list leader, in recent Waterfowl inter
view expressed himself as follows with
reference to the factional fight in this
state, although he added that he did not
consider himself republican and there.
for not supporter Of either Kittredge
or Crawford: 80
Mr.. Loucks said he wondered why
Senator Kittredge in discussing his re-
cord, failed to discuss his vote in the
amendment to TIE currency act during
the last session Of congress.
"Here," said the old time populist,
"was clear-cut issue between the two
factions. Senator Gamble is the insur-
gent chief. Crawford sacrificed himself
to support Gamble, and it is fair to
charge the insurgents with CANDLES re.
cord and to assume that Crawford would
have voted with Gamble in the United
States senate during the last session Of
congress. Senator Aldrich, who repre-
sents The System introduced an amend
ment to the currency act, providing,
among ether things for the depositing
Of the customs duties, amounting to be-
tween $500, ,oO0, 900 and $400, ,oes, 600 an
nually, in the national banks, without
interest. OF course this meant practi-
cally the New York banks.
"Senator Nelson Of Minnesota" con-
tinued Mr.. Loucks, "offered an amend
ment providing that in the future the
secretary of the treasury shall deposit
this money in banks that are willing to
pay interest on daily balances at the
rate of two per cent per annum. Sena-
tor Aldrich insisted that his pets, the
New York banks, could net afford to
pay any interest at all. Senator Mel
SON clearly demonstrated that the banks
in the northwest would be glad of the
opportunity to pay this rate Of interest
on the deposits.
"The Congressional Record Of Feb
ruary 26, 1908, page 4o6O, shows that on
this amendment Of Senator Nelson 3 SO
clearly in the interest Of the northwest,
Senator Gamble voted in the negative
with Senator Aldrich and 'The System.
Senator Kittredge voted aye with SEN
ator Nelson and for the northwest. Had
this amendment been adopted, it is fair
to assume, that the late panic, with its
disastrous results, would have been a.
voided. The change would have serv-
ed the double purpose of giving us more
and cheaper money in South Dakota,
better prices for our farm products and
a national revenue"
Speaking of the continuation Of SEN
ator Nelson's efforts to have the bill
amended so as to be Of some benefit to
the country, Mr.. Loucks added: est
seems to me that if the voters of the
state were properly advised On this is,
sue alone, they would not hesitate be-
tween Senator Kittredge and-ansther
Gamble!"
