He Couldn't Gain a Foot.

many of the householders did not go
to bed until the unholy hour of $3.50.
1t was generally considered that fever
heat had been reached, and that the
excitement must now gradually sub
side. They were all wrong.
Sixthly bills were posted for a cir
Gus to show at Farmville. 1t was the
usual Mammoth Aggregation, but 1t
had one feature never shown before In
any circus on the face of the globe. II
had wild man from Africa who lived
on raw meat and bananas, and who
had to be kept chained In a cage.
The name of the wild man was
"Zam." He consumed sixteen pounds
of raw meat daily, and on top of that.
three times a week, he devoured a
bunch Of bananas.
He was the strongest man, wild or
tame, this world ever saw.
He could kill an elephant at one
blow. He could run down the ostrich
OF tear lion limb from limb. At a
certain point in the performance he
would be taken from his cage by three
men and paraded around the ring.
For three or four days previous to
the circus all work in and around
Farmville was stopped, and Tor the
first time in twenty years staid old
citizens forgot to shut the hen house
door or feed the pig at shutdown. On
the morning of the great day itself the
strain was so intense that Deacon
Chambers was impelled to say from
the postoffice steps:
II guess the outside world will know
where Farmville is after this! I've al
lus told you fellers that we'd have our
boom when the sign come right, and
here she are!"
1t wasn't much OF circus. even for
q village. There was an aged elephant,
4 wreck of camel and giraffe whose
neck reached out for anything eatable,
while the tumbling and riding could
have been beaten by lot of farmers
boys. The wild man was the draw.
He was in his cage in the procession
all right and now and then he beat
his breast and called out.
But things had happened the day be-
fore that the public hadn't caught on

GOOD ROADS MEETING AT GRYG.
a.

The good roads meeting held here
Saturday was very well attended, there
being in the neighborhood of sixty
farmers present The adjoining towns
were nearly all represented and seem
ed to be unanimously in favor of i'm
proving our roads. On motion duly
carried, an association was organized
which is known as the Grygla Good
Roads Association, the object of
which shall be to maintain our road
system. The officers elected were G.
A. Johnson president and Otto Hohle
secretary. The several resolutions
which We're adopted are as follows:
Resolved that the association re-
commend and urge that each town in
terested vote to abolish poll and road
tax and pay same in cash, and further
that each appropriate funds with
which the various town boards be au-
thorized to contract for the dragging
and upkeeping of all ditch grades.
Whereas the territory represented
by the Grygla Good Roads Association
has large amount of recently con
structed roads needing systematic re.
pairs and whereas the present system
Of judicial bitches now being worked
out lend themselves to a good system
of main roads,
Be it Resolved, that this association
strongly urge upon the several county
boards interested to take immediate
steps to secure state aid on such roads
as may be recommended by the town
boards and approved by the state en-.
gineer. Resolved further, that copy
of these resolutions be sent to the
chairman Of the county boards inter
ested. Resolved further that w. r.

sent this matter to the state highway

TAXATION IN MINNESOTA
(Fifth ArticIe)

Reviewing the Assessments
Very evidently the legislative mind
did not trust solely to the performance
by the local assessor of his duties in
"diligent, faithful and impartial
manner. It doubtless had in mind
the frailties of human nature that mil
itate against such performance of du-
ties, as we'll as the possible inaccura-
cy of judgment in valuing real and
personal property.
So it set over the assessor board
Of review composed of the town board
OF each town, the assessor, clerk and
president of each village, and the
assessor, clerk and mayor of each
city, except as to those cities whose
charters provide otherwise In fourth
class cities, except those whose char
ters provide board of equalization,
the board consists of the mayor, clerk
and board Of aldermen. The function
of these several boards is to equalize
assessments as between individual
property owners of their respective
districts; to raise or lower assess
ments and to add to the lists property
that the assessor may have overlook
ed and fix its value. If an assess
ment is raised the owner is entitled
to notice and hearing, or if any
owner feels aggrieved he may be
heard and such correction made as
board may deem best
These several boards meet at the
Office Of the clerk Of the town or dis
trict on the fourth Monday in june.
They may sit until the first Monday
in July, giving them six working days
with pay at So day, though in fourth
class cities the pay of the board is IL
mited to three days in each year. BY
the latter date the assessors must re-
turn their books and listing sheets to
the county auditor.
Residents Of the district IT, they
would have their assessments correct
ed, must appear before the local
board of review, but non.residents
may have their assessments reviewed
by the county board of equalization.
These assessors and boards of re-
view are local, their members are cho-
sen by their fellow citizens, and SUBJ
ject to local influences. But it is
upon the faithful discharge Of their
duties that the taxpayers of the dis
tricts must rely for fair and equita-
bic assessment as between themselves.
Resident taxpayers should understand
that their local board Of review is
the place for them to have their as
sessments, if deemed unjust, cor
rected.

davit and delivers the same together
with the listing sheets to the county
auditor who gives to him a certificate
that the assessment conforms to the
law, if such be the fact. Without
such certificate the assessor cannot
get his pay.
