Assessors Reach Agreement.

At an executive session held yester
lay afternoon when the subject was
threshed over for nearly three hours
behind closed doors the county assessor
now in session at the state house reach
cd unanimous agreement of uni
form assessment throughout the entir,
state by which all of the assessors are,
found, says Thursdays Statesman.
The percentage agreed upon was not
given out but it was said that it WOULD
materially raise the valuation of all
the property in the state with the ex-
ception OF live stock which has alway>
been assessed much higher than ans
other taxable property.
The rate on live stock was slightly
reduced and taking these figures which.
were given out as basis it would APP
pear that the rate of assessment agreed
upon is from so per cent to GO per cent
of the actual cash value at the time OF
assessment.
The meeting has already lasted much
longer than was expected, the import
ance of the work seeming to increase
with each session, but it is fully ex-
pected that final adjournment will l..
reached today, noon.
IL Eas determined at this session Il
meet again at the call of the governor
in. August at the time the state board
of equalization and the county auditors
are In session.
The rate OF assessment agreed upor
for live stock is as follows: Beef cattle

The republican state central com
mittee has been called TO meet III
Boise on Feb. 10 for the purpose OF
fixing the dates and places for hold
ing both state conyentlons-one to
srlect delegates to the national con.
Yeution and the other one 10 nom
mate state officers. The first con.
vcntion will necessarily have TO b,
held about the first week in May.
bnt the other will doubtless not be
held until some time in August As
vet we haven't heard Of any city

We surmise, however, that one will

Pocatello and the nominating con.

pect to capture either convention

II is hard and expensive trip for
the delegates from Southeastern

in any of the Panhandle cities; thu
same is trne for the northern dele

the Southeast. To sort o even
things up this year, why not hold
the first convention at Lewiston and

the best hotel accommodations Of
any city in the state and the nomin,

delegates. Then the expense OF

for the delegates from the southeast

to nominate Lewiston and Boise at

WILL, VOTE on THING
Badger Township Officers Have Call.
ed a Special Election to
Vote on the Thing.

Saturday afternoon the officers of
Badger township met at LOOMS to
open the bids and award the contract
to do a certain amount of thing in
the immediate vicinity of LOOMS,
where the water has been standing
the greater portion of the summer.
There was no outlet to it and the
officers thought the best way out of
the situation was to put in some tile
to drain the water.
When the officers met there were
a number Of farmers present from
other portions of the township who
would not not be benefited by the
tlling of the ground. They fled their
objections to the board taking any
action; not so much for the reason
that they would not be benefited,
however, as they claimed that the
board was proceeding not in accord
ance with the law. This was shown
the members of the board and they
acquiesced in the position of the far
mers.
The officials then decided to give
the people of the township a chance
to vote on spending the amount of
money that would be necessary to
put n the tile. The board called a
special election to be held Tuesday,
July Ia, when the matter will he
definitely settled. Those supporting
the thing proposition claim that they
have sufficient votes to carry the
election.

Lid Of Of Fireworks.

After Mayor Hitchcock put the lid
on the display of fireworks and other
demonstrations within the fire limits
he went off down to his country seat
near Running Water to see how much
damage was done to his farm by the
high water backing up from the Mis-
souri, river. Saturday morning the
information got spread over town in
some way that the mayor had re-
scinded his order about the enforce
ment of the ordinance relating to the
discharge of fireworks in the fire
limits, and all day Saturday the can
non cracker and about every conceive
able piece of noisy demonstration was
turned loose, and the police were in
a quandary what to do under the
circumstances. In the evening Chief

SOME WATER IN JUNE
An Unusually Wet Month and Shows
A Heavier Precipitation Than
Ever Before.

About all there was to the weather
OF May and June was the excessive
uo"npour OF rain. People usually
forgot whether it was cool or warm,
they could not get their minds of
81 the immense amount Of rainfall.
May produced 9.53 inches Of water,
and tile nearest approach to it was
in 1892, when the same month turned
out 6.7l inches.
June did not break all former
records for the month, for that of
1902 there was a %cloudburst in this
C ity which gave down a quantity of
water which could not be computed by
the government rain gauge a it was
washed away FROM its moorings when
tt water rose over the top Of the
standard on which it rested. In
1891 the month of June yielded $50
inches, which is exceptionally large,
while in 1901 tue rainfall amounted
to $50 inches. That June is a pretty
vet month is shown that in 1904
there wa. 5 as inches, in 1905, 7.24

WAS A QUIET FOURTH
The National Holiday i'll Mitchell Was
Very Quiet Day-People
Went Away.

The national holiday in Mitchell
was a very quiet occasion, inasmuch
as there was 40 celebration of any
character, and people were left to
their own devices to celebrate the
day in whatever way they saw fit.
The celebrations at the surround
ing towns drew a great many of the
people, some going to Ethan, others
to LOOMS and a few to Yankton,
which for the first time in a good
many years, celebrated in an old
fashioned way. AT Both Ethan and
LOOMS there were good crowds and
the visitors were entertained with
sports of all kinds.
The weather could not have been
more satisfactory if it had been made
to order. The sun was shining bright
ly all day and there was just sufi-
Gent wind to take off the edge of the
heat.
The only semblance of a celebra-
ton was over at the home of A. H.
Belts, corner of Second Avenue west
and Rowley street, where the ladies
of the Methodist church had arrang-
ed a very enjoyable affair. In the
afternoon ice cream and cake were
served, with some amqsements and
in the evening there was a display of
fireworks. Quite a large number of
people took advantage of the occa-
sion to spend a few hours at the
home.
During the evening there were a
number of private parties through
out the city that were assembled at
various homes and a display of fire.

HELD TO CIRCUIT COURT
Clairvoyant Proctor Was Held to Cir

Larceny Monday.

1t was expected that the case
against Prof. Proctor and his wife
would held this morning as it was
arranged for Monday, but late in
the afternoon it was decided to hear
it at 4 o'clock. Proctor says that his
name is not Hart as was at first Civ
en- out.
The preliminary examination was
held before Justice Markham and it
was quite exciting before the case
was over with. w. M. Herbert ap-
peared as the attorney of Proctor,
and States Attorney Spangler repre-
scented the state. The evidence of
several young ladies was presented to
the court in a n that was con-
vincing that the charges preferred

owe to the November term of court,
which he did in the sum of $1,000.
Proctor was charged with larceny
in securing $500 from one of the
young ladies through his powers as a
clairvoyant; that he affected to make
one OF them believe that if she were
to place 500 in a little bag, to
which he added 5000, and wear it
a certain length of time that what
ever she wished would come to pass.
The young lady got anxious along
toward the last day the bag was to be
worn and when she opened It she
found that her 800 was missing. and
that it was evident to her that the
professor did. a very neat trick In
legerdemain. in which her own eyes
deceived her.

quainted Sheriff Cook Of the situation

search. Proctor wa located at FIRE.
