Returns of Assessors in South Dakota
Show Interesting Facts.

The total valuation of South Dakota
for assessment purposes this year VIII
be near $270, 000, 900. The return of
all property other than corporate, as
made by the assessors to the state
auditor, is $243,925,S93, and the bal
ance will be made up by corporate
property of all classes. The total for
last year was over 100000, 600, and
the increase IN general property alone
this year is $500, 600.
While most of the counties of the
state show increased assessments this
year as compared with last yea some
of the older and larger counties of
the state have been growing poorer,
but this has been more than met by
the increase in the newer counties.
The counties which show decreases are
Brookings, Brule, Custer, Grant, Min
nehaha, Moody, Roberts, SanbOrn,
Turner and Union. The heaviest de-
crease was in Lawrence county, which
fell off $587, 500, and Roberts was next
with $211,049. But the new counties
come in with a heavy increase, Stan
ley leading with $705,345. All the
other counties of the state, except
those listed above. show material
gains. AS ali corporate property has
been increased, the increase. generally
will be a good one.

HEAD OF DAKOTA WESLEYAN
DIR. S. Il. KcrfOOt, Of MankatO, Elected
President.

Every member of the board Of tru~-
tees of Dakota Wesleyan university,
located at Mitchell, was present at the
Meeting which was called for the cleo
ton Of a president of Dakota Wesley
an as successor to DR.. Nicholson. 1t
was not thought that a president
would be elected at this meeting be-
cause Of the va ried opinions of the
trustees on several candidates. But
the trustees unanimously elected Or.
Samuel f. Kerfoot, OF Mankato, Mimi.
DR.. Kerfoot impressed the trustees in
a very favorable way, ana Inc feeling
Is strong that a most worthy successor
to DR.. Nicholson has been secured.
Nineteen men were candidates at one
time or another for the position, but
the sitting process brought the choice
down to two men.
DR.. Kerfoot was for seven years pas
tor of the Central Methodist church
at Winona, Mimi, the largest church
in the state, and at the present time
he is the district superintendent Of the
Mankato district. He is a strong plat
form speaker and an excellent organ
1Zer, two qualifications that are neces-
sary in the president of the college.
He secured his degrees from Ham
mond college and Drew theological
seminary. He has been prominent in
the conference work of Minnesota.
DR.. Kerfoot will reach Mitchell with
his family about the 1st of September.

MEN TO AID ROADS.
VIII Assist in Securing Higher Freight
Rates.

Railroad men in all parts of tho
United States are organizing to assist
the railroads in obtaining an increase
III freight Ta.5s. DCTIiTiI1 ways dI"
means have not yet been decided up
on, but the general scope of the plan
includes an extensive campaign or
education to show that the interests
OF the public demand that the ROADS
be allowed to increase their earnings.
1t Is also proposed to present their
side of the case before the interstate
commerce commission and before the
state railroad commissions whenever
an opportunity presents itself.
The lead In the movement is being
taken by the recently organized Ne
braska State Railway Employees Pro-
tective association and Ivy the Amerl-
can Protective Association of Ameri~
ca, with headquarters at Kansas City,
which is now being organized, and
which already includes members from
thirteen western states. Members OF
the Chicago division of the Order OF
Railway Conductors have already TAX
en- active steps in the matter n rep
resentatives Of the other railway
brotherhoods are taking an interest
in the movement, although it has not
yet beer officially taken up by any Of
the latter organizations.
The men point out that the expenses
of the railroads have been enormously
increased during late years, while
freight rates have been gradually re-
duced and hat matters have now
come to the point where an increase
in revenue is imperative if the rail
roads are to continue to maintain their
property in first class condition n
make needed extensions and improve
ments while maintaining the present
scale of wages.

Republican Senatorial Contest Be
tween Hopkins and Foss is Still in
Doubt-primary Returns Come In
Slowly-Democrats Pick Stevenson.

AT 2:30 o'clock Monday morning
complete returns from 88 counties
out OF 102 in the state of Illinois give
for the republican nomination for
governor Deneen, 1850; Yates.
17e,22s, giving Deneen a plurality
from the returns at hand Of 11.254.
Eighty-eight counties give for the
republican senatorial Endorsement
Hopkins, 117,S22; Foss, $1,000; Ma
son 71.655.
The returns available at l o'clock
consisted Of the vote in 81 out of 102
counties in the state for senator and
go counties for governor. Chicago
and Cook county were included In
both sets Of figures. The vote on
senator was Hopkins, 97,o51; Foss.
8s.573; Mason, 62,596. On governor
the vote was Deneen, 167,151; Yates,
154,435.
The friends Of Gov. Denee con-
1idently predict h a he will secure
the nomination by a majority Of at
least 10000 over Yates, and the Yates
managers make about the same pre-
diction for their nan Senator Hop
kins declared late Sunday night that
he believed that he would be Endorsed
for the s~enatorship by a plurality of
$4,000 to $4,000.
The Foss managers claim they have
carried many of the senatorial dis
tricts and that when the legislature
comes to vote for senator the men
from these districts must be guided
by the vote of these districts ire
spective OF what the vote Of the en-
tire state may nave been. They ar
que that in this way Foss is certain to
receive tho election from the legisla-
ture, even though he runs behind in
the primaries.
The situation on the democratic
ticket outlined early in the night was
confirmed by late returns. Lawrence
b. stringer has been Endorsed for sen
ator and Adlai e. Stevenson has been
nominated for governor.
