Auditor Fall has Just received the

There are few changes from the
finding of the county board of equal
lzation in the value of real estate and
Dank stocks. In the realty list re-
ductlon of ten per cent from that
placed by the county, and on bank
stocks an increase of fifty per cent is
made.
There is in Pennington county sub
Ject to taxation 1876, 700 acres of land
with an average value of "a per acre,
Which valuation was placed by the
county under instruction of state Of
ficials. While this is a reasonable
value compared to lands in counties
IN the eastern part of the state, it
was considered out of proportion be-
cause of the large amount recently
settled upon and construed as new
farm lands.
The board appointed ]. C. Hen
Erickson to represent the county in
conference with state officials at
Pierre. He was able to present the
conditions in the county in such
manner as to secure the authorized
reduction. This ten per cent. reduc-
ton reduces the land value some
5000, 900 and makes the total taxable
valuation $l,SO3,3O1.
The value of bank stocks was placed
by the commissioners at $58.579, the
fifty per cent increase making it $751;
1868. By annexing the assessed valua-
ton of stocks of corporations to the
land and personal property the grand
total is $5,s69,46 The rate of taxa
tion will now be decided upon by the
commissioners at meeting to be
held early this month. Last year the
rate was fourteen mills, but it is an
ticipated a slight increase will be
made. The state tax has been in
creased one mill, making the general
and deficiency funds two mills each.

The state board Of equalization has
just furnished the auditor with fig

corporations in Pennington county
subject to taxation. 1t shows there
are nearly 300 miles of railroad in the

a spTig OF white heather. and before
they parted from their sweethearts that
night the sprigs OF heather had been

CEMETERY MURDER
INQUEST A BLANK
Officials Unable to Find
Clue to Slayer of Miss
Schumacher.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Aug. z5.-The in
quest into the mystery of the Anna
Catherine Schumacher murder developed
no direct clue to the murderer. but
brought out contradictory testimony
from the Rev. Father John NJ Peter,
professor OF ecclesiastic music at st.
Benard's Seminary. and John schu-
macher, brother of the murdered girl.
John testified that he saw Father
Peter in the cemetery pump house the
morning his sisters body was discov-
cred, with the shovel in his hands with
which the girls grave was fashioned
from the rabbit warren. Father Peter
admitted on the witness stand that he
was IN the pump house looking for evil
dence In the murder case, but had no
remem brance Of handling or seeing the
shovel. On Saturday FGher Wirth. OF
the seminary, made a statement for the
district attorney in which he said Father
Peter placed the shovel in the pump
house.
A companion OF John Schumacher dis
agreed with him as TO what the priest
wore in the pump house. John saying It
vas a Prince Albert coat. and his COM
panian, Frank Schantz. saying IL was
a robe. The officials accept the pro-
fessor's statement that Il was robe.
and he Is eliminated from suspicion.
There practically ends the official in
vestigatlon of the murder The inquest
will not be resumed and the authorities
have absolutely nothing worthy the
name of clue 70 the murderer.
Mrs. George Hilbert today testified
her husband was insane over women and
returned home the night Of the muir
der with blood on his hands. Hilbert
is under arrest on a robbery charge
and is considered a degenerate, His
brother. Henry, in a spell Of drunken
ness. told their mother that George was
seen to bury the murdered girl Henry

We're conspicuous by their absence

The defeat OF the silver and the red

ton, however. whether the second

day afternoon, Will find many sympa-
thizers and CONSIDERS upon their re-

The Varsity men went into the con-
test confident Of victory. They left
the field at the end of the second half
without a surplus of confidence, with
crestfallen faces and with expressions
on their faces which were, to say the
least, a trifle s%heepish.

game with enough confidence to play
good ball, but lacked the debonair
n of their opponents from the

having achieved something the high

wears. They had defeated the second
Varsity elcVen-beatcn them at their
own game-decisively, completely and
in such a clever mi that many
expressions Of admiration We're
brought forth from old football play
ers who witnessed the contest.
The High school played aggressively
throughout. They never gave the
Varsity men any quarter. From the
first blast Of the referees whistle in

called time in the last half. the little
