TAX LEVY DROPS HALF MILL.
State Funding Tax Levy Has Come to
an End.

st. Paul.-Notices were sent to the
county auditors by State Auditor S.
G. Iverson directing them to make the
tax levy for state purposes for the
coming year 2.S mills. Last year it
was 1888 mills. The decrease is due
partly to the wiping out of the $780,
600 road and bridge bill, partly to the
increased valuation of personal prop
erty and partly to the increased reve-
nues from special taxes. The tax
levy of 2.S mills on a total valuation
of $1,100,000,000 will bring approx
mately 100000 into the state treas
ury to be divided among the various
funds.
The rate in mills for last year and
this year for each fund is as fol-

the veranda in rear of his home, Fer
ris Buchner, the 5-year-old son of Mr..

made of heavy cord. He attached the
cord to nail on the post of the We

neck. He was running about the We
randa playing horse, when he slipped
and fell off the edge.

SCARS OVER SHIPS
AIR CRAFT FLIES ABOVE FLEET
ASSEMBLED IN HUDSON.
SEAMEN CHEER SKY NAVIGATOR
AeropIane Bucks Wind, Steers Well,
Stays Up SO Minutes and Covers
Fifteen Miles.

New York, N Y.-Wilbur Wright,
the aeroplanist, defied the air, the
water and the land in marvellous
flight over the numberless craft In
New York harbor and the North river
Starting at 1855, the aviator headed
into the wind and flew over ferry
boats, yachts, steamers and other
craft in the harbor.
Flying high, Mr.. Wright went up the
North river over the fleet of battle
ships and on past Grants tomb, en-
circling the British cruiser Argyll. Re-
turning at faster speed with the wind,
he came back over the water and land
ed at his starting point in the most
matter-of-fact way possible.
He had been gone for 33 minutes
and 33 seconds, making one of the
most perilous trips ever attempted.
The distance of the fight was estimat-
ed at fifteen miles.
Responds to Helm.
1.-THE machine responded in fine
shape" said Mr.. Wright, as he clamb-
cred through the network of wire OF
his machine after he landed at the
aerodome on Governors island. "The
motor worked fine.
81 started flying about seventy-five
feet above the water, but kept climb
ing higher until 1 was about 200 to 800
feet high. The air currents sent up by
the tunnels of the ferryboats inter-
ferred somewhat and l came down
nearer to the water.
81 could hear the cheers of the sail
ors on the warships," continued Mr..
Wright, as the enthusiastic group of
| army officers and newspaper men, who
had awaited his return with keen ap-
probation, grasped his hand to con-
graduate him. "The wind was blow
ing about ten miles an hour, and had
to head in little toward the east in
stead of pointing the machine straight
up the river.
FuIfiIIs His Contract.
"This flight fulfills every condition
of my contract" added the aviator in
response to inquiries as to further
demonstrations of his prowess in the
air, but if the favorable weather con-
ditions continue this afternoon, may
make another flight, which can be
announced by the Hudson-Fulton avia-
ton committee.

RALPH w. WHEELOCK
Appointed by Governor Eberhart as
Days Successor.

Minneapolis.-Ra w. Wheelock,
of Minneapolis, has been named as
private secretary to Governor Adolph
o. Eberhart. He will succeed Frank
A. Day, who will retire Nov. L.
The choice of Mr.. Wheelock was
made at conference in the office OF
A. A. Eberhart, Governor Eberhart's
brother. Present at the conference
were Governor Eberhart, Lieutenant
Governor E. e. Smith, and other re-
publican leaders.
Mr.. Wheelock has been prominent
in the fight for the private secretary
ship from the start. After confer
ence in st. Paul last week, the place
was offered first to Charles S. Mitchell,
| of Duluth, with the understanding that
Mr.. Wheelock was to have the place
should Mr.. Mitchell refuse. After a
talk with Robert C. Dunn, of Prince
ton, whose political manager Mr.. Nit
chell was in the Dumb ohnson guber-
material campaign, Mr.. Mitchell decid-
ed that he would not accept the place.
In this decision he followed Mr.. Dunn's
advice, and his own private wish not
to re-enter politics. The decision of
Mr.. Mitchell made Mr.. Wheelock's ap-
pointment a certainty.
WheeIock Best Man.
In announcing the appointment of
Mr.. Wheelock, Governor Eberhart
said: II have chosen Mr.. Wheelock
because I believe him to be the best
man for the place. He is not en-
tangled with any political faction, and
has been allied with no political inter
est or interests"
Mr.. Wheelock is now engaged in
the advertising business in Minneapo-
lis, but as a newspaper man he has
worked on many of the twin city pa
pers, and before he came to Mime
apolis conducted a newspaper in South
Dakota. He was private secretary to
Mayor David P. Jones. of Minneapo.
lis.
st. Paul.-Harvey Grimmer has de-
clined to lie Governor Eberhart's exc
cutive clerk.
In signed statement, Mr.. Grimmer,
who, although he is Republican, has
been staunch supporter of the late
Governor Johnson, says that Governor
Eberhart asked him to remain as his
executive clerk, but because of the
light he had been placed in by certain
members of the press, inference hav-
ing been made that his acceptance of
favors by the new governor would be
construed as a surrender of loyalty to
the memory of one to whom he was
so close, he thinks it is his duty to
retire.

in my estimation. Our team has been
wonderfully strengthened on the in

strongest in the league, believe. On
the pitching stoff we have one young
ster, Karsten, who was in your old

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem

and muscles, and in this way
