TAKE OVER ELECTRIC PLANT
Local Company VIII Completely Rem.
ovate Lighting System and
Put in Coco Shape.

The Mitchell Illuminating & Power
Co. is the title of the new company
Which has arranged to take possession
of the electric light plant and the
gas plant, formerly owned by the
Mitchell Gas Co. L. j. Spangler,
the attorney for the company, has
just returned from st. Louis where
he took the initial steps for perfect
ing the title to the property OF the
company. Proceedings will have to
be gone through with concerning the
receivership Of the company appointed
by the feoeral court.
The officers of the new company
are: President, D.. B. Miller; vice
president d. A. Mlzener; treasurer,
I. j. Spangler, secretary, f. A.
White. Directors are W. M. Smith,
D.. A. Mizener. d. a. Braught.
Henry Swindle1, F. A. White, d.
b. Miller, T. j. Spangler. of this
city, and James Sutherland, and
George Rosentbal, of st. Louis.
The new company has arranged to
make a complete overhauling of the
plants that will come into Its possess
sion. The gas plant will be moved
to the location of the electric light
plant and a new building erected,
which will be installed with machin-
cry for the manufacture of coal gas.
Within thirty days the company will
commence the work of laying new
mains, and the machinery will be
Installed just as fast as possible.
With the interests of the company
centralized at N point it will be
quite an advantage to the company
and to the consumers. The gas plant
will be ready in about four months
time.
Mr.. Bertram. an expert electrician
and a man, is here at the present
going over tue plans for the enlarge
ment of the plants.
1t is understood that, newtmachin-
cry will be installed in tho electric
light plant throughout and Of the
character to give Mitchell as good,
if not better, a lightning plant as
there is in the northwest. With
that installed and with its equipment
thus improved the company expects
to start a twenty-four hour service
by April ] or Is, and they will have
the machinery to make the service
beneficial to parties who desire day
power. The company has sufficient
capital behind it to make every
improvement that will add to the
effectiveness of the plant, and it is
fair to believe, that inasnuch as
practically all of the stock is owned
BY Mitchell men, that they will give
the citizens a first class service. and
the company has assured The
Republican, will be the case.

WHY MEN GET ANGRY.

The Facts In Regard to That Nice
Little Game at the Colts.
The Joneses, Mr.. and Mrs, went
over to spend the evening with the
Colts the other evening, because PEG
pie get tired of staying at home all
the time inc just listening to each
others palaver.
BY and by MIR. Goitt suggested that
they all draw up around Mrs. Goitt's
little sewing table and have q nice
friendly game of poker for an hour or
SO.
Everybody wanted to show that he
OF she was a sure enough sport, all
rightski, and then one always has an
idea ut the beginning of a poker game
that just as like as not he can make
the evening profitable as we'll as
merely pleasant.
Mrs. Goitt and Mrs. Jones were
about even in their working knowledge
OF the great national game, and the
men folks therefore backed them up
cheerfully, assuming that they would
break about even.
After a half hour or so of play the
visitors took the lead, as the sporting
editor might say. 1t was only q penny
ante, five cent limit game; but, then,
people have been known to clean up
a first rate little bunch of pin money
in even such a Juvenile game as that,
and Jones already had his chips
stacked up into four cute little cylin-
ders in front Of him. Mrs. Jones
would reach over and borrow ten chips
or so now and again, and a ~momentary
frown would fit over her husbands
brow, but he didn't say anything.
By and by Jones tool notice of the
fact that Mrs. Jones was reaching
over into his subtreasury vaults and
picking up chips half a stack at q
time and putting them into the pot as
fast as she could meet Mr.. Colts bets
and raise him back again.
Mr.. Jones looked at her when he
saw his hoard of chips disappearing
in a way that inquired plainly, "Are
you sure you've got it on him?"
Got a straighty whispered Mrs.
Jones when she found opportunity to
whisper without being observed, and
Jones gave her q look that said, eco
as far as you like" for straights had
been pretty good that evening, and the
pot, after the way it had been sweet
ened, looked worth while.
Finally Mr.. Goitt called her. .All
I've got is three ladies'" he said in q
tone Of polite inquiry, laying down his
hand.
"well, l have a straight" gursied
Mrs. Jones; "see-queen. king, acc.
deuce, trey!"" ~
Mr.. Jones gave her a. look that told,
her something was amiss before any
body had time to say a word.
"Why, the ace m after the king.
doesn't it?" she inquired. "And doesn't
the two spot come after the ace and the
three spot after the two spot? I'd Just
like to know why that isn't a straight.
Mr.. Jones watched Mr.. Colt rake In
the pot and didn't say anything-nok
Just then.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITY
Crawford Supporters Want to Lay
Increased Valuations up to
County Commissioners.

Some exceptions have been taker
to, an article printed in The Republi-
can a few days concerning the
responsibility for the increase in the
assessment on farm lands in this
comfy. 1t ~as stated by this paper
that this responsibility was clearly
due to the action Of the State Board
of Equalization. The supporters OF
the state administration assume to
say that the county commissioners
were responsible for the increase of
the assessed valuation from 86.4l to
$8. SO an average per acre..
The Crawford administration sup
porters evidently are not posted on
the action of the State Board Of
Equalization, and claim that the
board did not raise the assessment
when 1t met in August. 1t is not
charged that the board made the
raise at that time, but the act was
committed at the meeting of the
board 10 March, one year ago, when
a meeting was held with the county
auditors. AT that time the matter
or pers) nal property and land assess
ment; were gone. yer thoroughly
and a basis Of assessment arrived at.
Under "a circular letter sent out to
tie county a %Ihitors, signed by John
HirDing, state auditor under date
Fof March 81, the following instruc-
lions we're, given the county auditors
and! asses ors:
"At the annual meeting of the
State lnenr, of Assessment and
Eqi1aliza i n, held at the state
capitol. or March. 26, for counsel
With and Instruction OF the county
auditors. as required bv Chapter AZ,
laws Of 1905 the following valuations
were ADOPTED as a basis for as.
sessment OF 1907. (Here follows the
list OF counties with the valuations
attached.-Ed.) The equaIized val
nations from the counties should
not fall below tine figures given
above. We wish to impress upon the
assessors and the board of county
commissioners OF not only eetti ~ an
equitable assessment, but likewise
a full assessment ~
This circular was accompanied by
a circular letter from the state audi
tor, VINO is also the secretary of the
State Board of Equalization. which
further instructed on the matter o!
making the assessed valuations agree
with the action of the state board.
and stating that where the county
boards or assessors failed to bring the
lands up to the amount at which
they had been practically assessed
by the state board, then this would
have to be done at the August meet
ing. All but six counties of the
state followed the instructions of the
state board, made the assessed valu-
alton on lands to correspond With the
figures adopted by the state boar.
Consequently the increase of from
SEAL per acre to 49, 80 per acre in
Dawson county is directly charged
