The state board of equalization
is now in session at Pierre. Last
year the total valuation of the
state was 1921, 100000 and it is
likely that the increase this year
will be about $12,OOO,00o. The
assessors report for the city of
Scotland showed an increase of
about $4,000 over last year, and
if other portions of the state in
crease in the same proportion it
will far exceed the estimated twelve
millions.

The wool clip to be shipped from
Belle Fourche this season will be
about one million pounds and the
price received from 19 to 19 cents
per pound. The tariff on wool is
still 12 cents per pound, but as
long as the home product sells at
the above mentioned prices it does
not appear that tariff is working
any hardship on the consumer.

The revenu received from the
penitentiary twine plant and shirt
factory last year amounted to $50
900, and the cost Of maintaining
the institution was about $4,000
There are hopeful signs that even
tually the penitentiary may be-
come self-sustaining, and there is
no reason why it should not.

IN FALL CAM MPAIGN
Talks at North Carolina Con.

enue Tariff.

Charlotte, n. c., July IA - Senator
Lee S. Overman, after being unani
mousIy chosen chairman of the state
democratic convention here today, out.
lined the issues of the campaign from
a democratic standpoint.
Down with Cannonism. Down with
plutocracy," exclaimed the senator.
Down with unlawful trusts and com.
bines, chief beneficiaries of tariff legis.
lation, purchasers of elections, debauch.
ers of the ballot. Down with those
who would Mexicanize this republic and
destroy the liberties of the people"
On Three Issues.
Senator Overman outlined the issues
as follows:
Back to the slogan of 1875: Re
trenchment and reform. Turn the ras-
Gals out. Clean out the Aegean stables.
a new broom sweeps clean.
"a tariff for revenue only. so ad.
justed as to operate alike upon all
classes, all sections and all industries.
The rights of the states shall not
be impaired.
THE people shall rule.
Enforce the laws against the un.
lawful trusts. If it is right TO indict
the bulls who keep up the price of
cotton, indict the bears whose busi
ness it is as Representatives Of Eng
lish manufacturers TO keep the price
down as low as possible.
Make Roads Toe Mark.
Enforce the laws regulating rail.
road rates in favor of the people and
stop unjust determinations against
towns and cities of the country. Sub
sides are undemocratic and the people
will not stand for them"
The republican party, Senator Over.
man declared, would go into the cam

badly divided a revolution of great
import, he said, was going on in its
strongholds.
The toiling millions Of this country
are in open rebellion against this par

shown wherever there has been an
election since Mr.. Taft was elected
president. The old democratic party
was never so united as it is today

London Police Ask Off
GERS Here to Arrest
DR. Crippen.
MAY LAND HERE SOON
Said to Have Killed Wife, Bur-
led Body in Cellar and
EIoped With Another.

London, July 14.-Scotland yards is
engaged with the murder of an Ameri-
can woman and today cabled the police
in the United States requesting the ar
rest of the woman's husband, Dr. Haw-
ley Crippen, also an American, who is
believed to have sailed for New York
on Saturday last. The London police
have made a definite charge against
Crippen and propose to get him with
the cooperation of the American au-
thorities. The extradition treaty makes
this probable.
Wife Vaudeville Actress.
Crippen is a dentist, so years Of age.
He has made his home for some time
at 80 Hilldrop Crescent, North London.
Some time ago his wife. Belle Elmore.
vaudeville actress and treasurer of
Music Hall Artists guild, disappeared,
and subsequently notice of her death
appeared in the local papers. The fact
of her demise was generally credited,
but there was more or less gossip.
Police Search Home.
Saturday noon last Crippen disap-
peared, and since then the police have
not been able to locate him. Yester-
day a search of the Crippen house was
made, and the battered body of the
woman was found buried in the cellar.
1t had been placed in quick lime and
was burned beyond recognition, but
the finding of the body, together with
other discoveries today has left no
doubt in the minds of the authorities
that the murdered woman was Mrs.
Crippen.
Sails with Stenographer.
The police believe Crippen sailed
Saturday for the United States. They
state he is accompanied by Ethel Clara
Leeneve, a French woman and his
stenographer, whom he had recently
introduced as his wife. This woman,
the police believe, is dressed in male
attire.
Murder COOIIy Planned.
Indications point to a coolly planned
murder. Early in February last let.
ter signed Belle Gilmore" was re.
ceived by the Vaudeville Artists guild
stating the writer had gone to America
Oh business. 1t was this letter which
the police say, was intended to cover
UP the crime and that, as it turned
cut, furnished evidence of criminality
Name 1IisspeIIed.
Belle Elmore spelled her name with
one a. The discrepancy was recog
rized and aroused suspicion among
members of the guild and largely in
fuenced them in determining to bring
the matter of the woman's strange
disappearance to the authorities at
tentiOn.

general character.

general character.
Whatever the president may have to
say on politics will have to do with the
work of the last congress and in pro-
claiming that to his way of thinking
the republican party representatives
placed in power two years ago have
kept faith and carried out the party
platform.
The president will attempt to read
no one out of the party. Neither will
he have any candidates for any office.
VIII Not Interfere.
Personal friendship for William Loeb,
Jr., collector of the port of New York,
led the president to suggest to him that
he would make a good candidate for
governor of New York. But the nom
ination is not within his giving and he
has repeatedly stated that it was not
his intention to interfere in the affairs
of any state. The president will strict
ly adhere to this policy.
When the president and his family
and a party of friends leave on the
Mayflower next Monday they will head
directly for the bay of Fundy and the
waters about Eastport. This will be
the farthest north. Turning there, the
presidential yacht will thread its way
through the Lubec narrows and run
down to Bar Harbor, where a stop of
two or three days will be made Isles
boro will be visited No other definite
stops have been decided upon and no
formal engagements have or will be
made.
VIII Send for Tariff Envoy.
Upon his return from the cruise the
president will send for H. c. Emery of
the tariff commission, who has return
ed from abroad after having made an
investigation of the cost of production.
