Mobridge. S. D.. Dec. s1.-This
stone tablet and buried with the bones
Of man and woman nearly century
ago, made A. w. Vail, general foreman
for the Milwaukee road, think that he
had been reading Gold Bug" or
Treasure Island when he found the
grave one mile east of Mobridge few
days ago.
Mr.. Vail was prospecting for gravel
for the Milwaukee railroad when he
accidently broke open the old grave
and found the tablet with its writing
in French. He at first thought 1t was
hoax, but upon digging again 100
feet north and 100 feet west" he was
surprised to find hollow bone of some
animal. and in this bone. which was
plugged at both ends, a piece of parch-
ment covered with writing In French
MIR. Vail will not disclose the exact
wording of the matter on the parch
ment until he can go to Alabama and
look into the authenticity of 1T. but he
says that it pertains to grant of land
in Alabama made by the government tc
one Pierre LaMoure in 1888. The
parchment was dated that year. while
the tablet bears the date of 1912.
The French settled this country ir
the early days, many of the Indians or
the reservation having French names
1t is thought that LaMoure and his
wife persisted while prospecting in this
part of the country and that Other
members of the party, fearing they
would never return, buried the parch-
ment in the belief that 1t would event
ually be found.

ROADS WITHDRAW OFFER.

Except Individuals.

Chicago, Dec. 30.-The offer of the
railroads in the northwest to e-em-
ploy as many of the striking switch
men as there were positions for and
to abide by the result of the Chicago
conference in the matter of wages and
working conditions was withdrawn
yesterday. The managers declared that
they would have no further dealings
with the switchmen's union and that
any of the members returning to work
from now on will have to do SO as in
dividuals.
The Great Northern yesterday lifted
the embargo on wheat which it had
placed at some of the smaller towns
on its lines, and announced that ship
ments would be received at all points
Interest in the strike turned from
st. Paul to Washington, where II. B.
Perham, president of the railway de-
partment of the American Federation
of Labor, will have conference with
Chairman Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission and Labor Com
missioner Neill. The government Of
ficials in Washington said that they
did not know what the nature of the
conference will be, as they rendered
their services before the strike was
called and did not know what they
could do at this time.

v. S. Census Bureau Bulletin Gives In
terestins Comparisons for 1907.
Washington, Dec, 31-The assessed
valuation of property, the basis of as
sessment, and the taxes levied in 1bS
cities in the United States which, in
1907, had an estimated population Of
over $4,000 each, are considered in I'm
tied States census bulletin los.
The bulletin states that the assessed
valuation OF property in city bears a
close relation to Indebtedness. and
comparisons between the indebtedness
Of different cities in the same state
based on assessed valuation are often
more accurate than those based on
population. Such comparison between
cities Of different states is not pracu-
cable, however, owing in large measure
to a difference in methods and bases
Of assessment.
In many cities it is the practice to
assess property at a fractional part of
it's value instead Of its true value, and
it is believed that the true value of
property that may be deduced from
such fractional values is not compar-
able with values obtained In other cit
les where the basis of assessme Is
100 per cent.
The values of personal property
vary from less than one sixth of l per
cent of the value of real property in
Philadelphia to more than so per cent
of the value of real property in Omaha.
These differences are due partly to diff
ferent bases of valuation and partly to
differences in thd classes of personal
property subject to city taxation.
Nearly two thirds of the net debt of
the 1853 cities is charged against the
Fifteen cities of over 100000 population
and the same cities showed approxi-
mately the same proportion Of the as
sessed valuation Of property
The largest per capita net debt is
credited to New York City, but Boston
had the largest per capita assessed
valuation of property, altho it had the
third largest per capita net debt. The
assessment in both cities was reported
to be on 100 per cent basis, but the
bulletin states that it is doubtful If q
close comparison of debt to assessed
valuation is justified. Another city with
a comparatively high per capita mel
indebtedness was Newton, Mass, but
| the large per capita assessed valuation
of property for this city ($1,771.21)
suggests that the debt, when compared
with the city's wealth, is not excessive
| ly great.

LII that day and the next night
the fight was hand to hand
without the opportunity Of
breathing space. Then Orde
bareheaded and disheveled, strung to
high excitement, began to be harass-
cd by annoyances. The piles gave out.
Newark left ostensibly to purchase
more. He did not return. Tom North
and Jim Denning, their eyes burning
deepsi in their heads for lack Of sleep,
came to Orde. holding to him SYM

'sGet 'em," said Orde with equal
brevity. "Newmark will have enough
here shortly. In the meantime get

North and his friend disappeared,
I taking with them the crews Of the
drivers and the two tugs. After an
interval they returned towing small
RATS Of the long timbers. Orde did
not make any inquiries, nor until days
later did he see copy Of the newspa-
per telling how lawless gang Of riv-
ermen had driven away the railroad
men, and stolen the railroads property.
Orie was everywhere. Miles and

and hurrying to them a rescue.
