There Celebrate

Monday, April 26, was the ninetieth
anniversary of the founding of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows,
and the occasion was duly celebrated
by the local lodge.
One hundred Odd Fellows and Re-
bekahs were present in the cosy home
of the order on Main street and pass
ed very pleasant evening.
An elaborate program was given
consisting of vocal and instrumental
music and an address by Attorney M.
G. Kelsey, past grand patriarch of the
grand encampment of Minnesota. G.
NJ. Sprague, grand treasurer of the
order in Minnesota, introduced the
speaker. Mr.. Kelsey gave a fine adj
dress that was greatly enjoyed and ap-
preciated by his hearers.
Following the formal program fine
banquet was served in the lodge din
ing room. The local lodge has high
standard for all of its functions, in
cluding it's suppers, and the one serv-
ed Friday evening was no exception
to the rule. ... ....
After the wants of the inner man
had been fully supplied, those who
desired to INDUCED in dancing in the
auditorium until it was time to 60
home.
Sauk Centre lodge was instituted in
1872, and is now 81 years old. 1t has
a large membership and has always
been in a fiourishing condition.
Two of the charter members of the
lodge were present at Friday evenings
festivities, namely, A. NJ. Stiles and
S. A. Irish. Another charter MEM
Der, Samuel Beidelman, was not feel

A quartet of Sauk Centre Odd Eel

Bishop, John Irwin and c. M. Sprague,
went to Glenwood Monday afternoon
and attended the celebration of the
Glenwood lodge in the evening. The
trip was made by automobile, the
party starting at 5 o'clock. Just
about that time the cold wind and
dirt storm came up and the trip was
a disagreable one, but the quartet ar
rived on time and in good condition.
The welcome extended by the Glen
wood brethren was so warm that they
soon forgot treir discomfort. The
grand master of the state was present
and delivered the principal address.
A very pleasant evening was passed.
Mr.. Sprague returned Tuesday morn
ing on the Northern Pacific train.
The rest of the party returned via the
auto route, leaving Glenwood at

SOME TAX STATISTICS
Figures Showing How Part of the
States Revenue Is Levied
on Tax Payers
"PORK BARREL" STEAL
Six Hundred thousand Dollars Ap-
propriated to be Expended by
Professional Politicians


Especial to The Herald)
ST. PAUL, April 26-The legislature
has done little during the closing days
of the session to add to its claims to
public appreciation. The only thing
that can be said in it's favor is that it
abstained from passing some bad bills
which were urged by the influences
which dominated it. This is particu-
larly true of the clnb bill demanded
by the tricounty delegation, which
has ridden the house like nightmare,
and the bill introduced by Senator
Hall to repeal the corrupt practice act.
Both these measures met a deserved
defeat.
During the closing session law
was enacted which, although recon-
mended by the tax commission, l can
only regard as imposing an unjust
burden on agriculture, already the
most highly taxed industry in the
state. l doubt very much if farmers
generally realize how much greater
the taxes are they have to bear than
those imposed on other classes of citi-
zens. This is made the subject of
chapter in the report of the tax COM
mission, which reveals some startling
facts. In Minnesota, according to the
figures of the 1900 census, the total
capital invested in manufactures was
S165, 1872, ,246. The total capital invest
ed in agriculture was $7SS, 1854, ,642.
The assessed value of manufactures
was 49,, 500, 9,514, or 1916 per cent of
their real value. The assessed value
of agricultural property was $299,567,
765, or 37.9 per cent of it's value. In
other words, agricultural property is
assessed twice as high in proportion
to it's value as manufacturing pro-
perty.
The report continues: ''The gross
product of the manufactures of the
state amounted to S262, ,655, 1881, or 1888
per cent of the capital invested in
manufactures and the agricultural
product was Sl6l, 81, ,314, or 2O.4 per
cent of the capital invested. In the
case of the net product the manufac-
lures of the state earned $14l, ,3l8, 1863
or 24.9 per cent on their capital, and
agricultural interests earned Sill ,O5O,
SS4, or 14.S per cent. From these
facts the commission concludes that
manufacturers pay in taxes a little
more than 2 per cent on their net pro-
duct, while farmers pay more than
3 l-3 times as much, and this includes
the benefit the farmer receives from
his garden, poultry, etc. These, as
the tax commission truly says, are
eloquent figures"
But their eloquence did not prevent
the commission recommending to the
legislature the imposition of an addi-
tional burden of taxation on the farm
ers of the state. So it advised the
imposition of "a small tax on each
bushel of grain stored in an elevator"
The recommendation was adopted and
tax of one-fourth of mill a bushel
on all wheat and fax and one eighth of
a mill bushel on all other grain has
been imposed. While the tax may
appear small, it must be remembered
that it is levied on all grain received
at all elevators, which will frequently
result in a tax being levied twice on
the same grain.

is on, and that festive sport will soon
be all the rage in Sauk Centre. AS
the days 60 by the interest of the the
public in the national game grows
apace. The daily papers are eagerly
scanned for the doings of the big
clubs, and if the average citizen does
not know the score he feels that he
has passed the day in vain. There is
much interest in the local team, and
it is with great pleasure that The
Herald announces the schedule as far
as arranged. Manager Deters gave it
out for publication on Tuesday, as
follows:
June 6, Sunday-Sauk Centre at
Melrose.
June 9-St. Johns Univ. at Sauk
Centre.
June l3-Melrose at Sauk Centre.
June 10, 2O-Browerville at Sauk
Centre.
June 26, 27-Sauk Centre at Little
Falls.
July 3-Melrose at Sauk Centre.
July 4, 5-Sauk Centre at St. Cloud.
July 10, Little Falls at Sauk
Centre.
July 15-Sauk Centre at Browerville.
July 1S-St. Cloud at Sauk Centre.
July 20, 3O-Nebraska Indians at
Sauk Centre.
The opening game on the home
grounds, Wednesday, June 9, should
be good one. The St. Johns Uni
yersity team is one of the best in this
part of the state.
Manager Deters has secured Guy
Jones of Iowa University for pitch
er, w. M. Hammer of St. Paul as
catcher, and Mccarthy of St. Paul as
shortstop. Prof. Geo. Bouton of the
Pioneer Business College Will play
second base. Eulogy of Bouton is
unnecessary as everybody knows what
he can do. He is one of the best
players to be found. Manager Deters
has Will Book, Frank Schwartz, Arm
stead and Jacobson, all good home
players, to draw from to fill up his
team. He will undeniably have a
strong aggregation to place on the
diamond.
Work is in progress at the fair
grounds arranging the grounds. The
judges stand has been moved out of
the way and the diamond moved so
that the home plate is located on
the outer edge of the race track op-
posite the middle of the grand stand.
These Improvements will result in as
fine diamond as could be desired.

81 years, with a face full Of good
natured imbecility. 1t seemed evident
at once to the examining officers that
the man would know no better than to
commit murder. and would commit 1t
under provocation, the last thing to
enter his thick head being the fact
that he, with his grade Of intelligence,
would not have one chance in thou
sand of escaping the penalty. He as
serted his innocence of the charge. but
in half.hearted manner. as II he was
very far from realizing the serious
ness of his position. He said:
"If old Swartz is dead. I'm sorry. l

That ended the examination as far
as 1t need be given here. Swartz was
found hanged in his store. to which
only he and Flanagan had a key.
Swartz' key was in his pocket, Flan-
nigan's key was in his pocket. and the
store was locked from the outside.
Flanagan had run away. and when
caught had told cock-and-bull story
of a vacation, a luxury never heard Of
before in connection with any employe
of Fatty" Swartz. or even with
Swartz himself. who had been for 13
years in that store every day Of his
life except Sundays, and all day. The
notion that he should suddenly propose
such thing to Flanagan at IL o'clock
at night, make him q present of a
weeks pay and pack him of at once,
was reposterous-just the kind of q
foolish story that man of Flanni-
gan's caliber would be likely to in
vent. Only one thing seemed strange
to the police: What had Flanagan
done with the $24S?

been committed for trial without bail

money to pay high-up lawyer and

him as the only thing left for her to
do.
DR., Furnivall was given access to
Flannigans cell. He commanded:
"Flannigan, carry your mind back to

me what happened to you thenf"

The First MonopIane.

h Solomon, or the Arabs who in the Koran relate his history. ought to be credited with inventing the first mono- plane. Solomon had a carpet, or more properly rug, which he used as a fly ing machine. By means of this mon- oplane he is said to have transported himself many miles, more, in fact. than any of our modern aviators have yet covered in one flight. In Grahams Magazine of October, 1853. there is a fine steel engraving of Solomon's fly ing machine. He is carrying another passenger, supposed to be the Queen of Sheba, and the two seem to be borne along at a good rate of speed Canon Farrar in the appendix of his Solomon and His Times" relates sev- eral eastern anecdotes about Solomon's flying carpet. Once, it seems. tho kings chief vizier was conversing on the top of the temple with Solomon and happened to notice Azrael. the Angel of Death. waiting on the steps below. The vizier felt that Azrael was there on serious business, and he beg ged Solomon for the use of the carpet The king permitted him to borrow it. and away he flew to the farthest sum init of the Caucasus, escaping for a while from Azrael. The tradition does not state how Solomon regained his monoplane. The Koran states that Allah gave Solomon the flying rug be- couse of his willingness to sacrifice tc Allah his one thousand fine horses Newark News.
