Resign.

Chief and Assistant Chief at st. Paul
Resign.
Chief John j. O'Connor and Assist.
ant Chief John Clark have resigned
from the ST. Paul police department.
Chief O'Connor assigned as the
cause the fact that he has been re.
peatedly Inundated and insulted by
the police board"
Republicans say the move is a polit-
ical one, designed to disorganize the
department and aid the Democratic
ticket at the spring municipal cleo
tons.
Many other members of the depart
ment are said to be contemplating re-
signing. The chief says he has adj
vised them all to stay.
II is known that Chief O'Connor and
Captain Clark have both applied for
police pensions. Their applications
have already been filed with the trus-
tees of the police retirement fund

EBERHART TO REMAIN QUIET
Senator Dixon Says Minnesotan Will
Be Neutral,

Senator Dixon, chairman of the
Roosevelt campaign, made public a
statement as follows:
Another governor claimed by the
Taft bureau as advocating the renomi-
nation of the president has announced
his purpose to keep hands off in the
pending nomination campaign. A tele-
gram received from Minneapolis by
the Roosevelt headquarters authorizes
the positive statement that Governor
Eberhart of Minnesota has definitely
declared that he is taking no part in
the presidential contest in Minnesota.
His endorsement Of Taft is purely
personal. Many of the governors
friends are openly supporting Roose-
welt without objection from him"

TAWNEY DENIES THE REPORT
Will Not Manage Taft's Campaign in
Minnesota. y

Former Representative James A.
Tawney of Winona positively declares
that he will not be President
Taft's campaign manager in Mime
sofa, as reported in the Twin City
papers. Mr.. Tawney says that the
burden of the campaign will fall upon
the st. Paul Taft club which, it is ex.
pected, will be reorganized so as to
cover the whole state. Plans already
are made for opening headquarters in
st. Paul, he said, and it is probable
that headquarters also will be opened
at Minneapolis.
Mr.. Tawney declared that his other
duties prevent him from giving the
time to the Taft cause that would be
required If he were to take charge Of
the campaign.

THE COUNTY BOARD
How 1t EquaIizes and Re-
views Assessments.

This is the sixth article of the
series on taxation prepared by the
Minnesota Tax Commission, and deals
with
THE COUNTY BOARD OF EQUAL
IZATION.
The preceding article explained the
methods of equalizing assessments be-
tween individual taxpayers by local
boards of review. The next step in
the reviewing process contemplates,
chiefly. the equalization of assess
ments between taxing districts in the
same county. and this duty is COM
mitted to the county board of equaliz-
alton. This board is not, however,
limited to action on the district as
sessments but may change Individual
assessments where necessary.
The county board of equalization is
composed of the county commissioners
and the county auditor. 1t meets
annually on the third Monday in July
at the auditors Office. Having taken
an oath to "fairly and impartia'ly"
perform their duties the board pro-
ceeds to "examine and compare the
returns of the assessment of property
of the several towns or districts and
equalize the same, So that each tract
or lot of real property. and each arti-
Gle or class of personal property, shall
be entered on the assessment list al
it's true and full Value
The board may raise the valuation
of tracts of real property if deemed
too low, or reduce them if considered
too high. 1t may also raise the ag
gregate valuation of the real property
of the entire county or any district Of
the county by percentage increases,
but cannot reduce the aggregate be-
low the aggregate values returned by
the assessors.
The board may raise the valuation
of each class of personal property il
deemed too low, and also the aggre'
gate value of personal property of in
dividuals or corporations if assessed
at less than its true value. 1t may
also reduce the assessed value of each
class of personal property when in it:
judgment it is assessed too high, bu
it cannot reduce the personal property
assessment of individuals except il
the case of non-residents of the dis
trict in which the property is assessed
nor can it reduce the aggregate value
of personal property below the amour
returned by the assessors. Before in
creasing the assessed va'ue of tract!
Of real property or individual assess
ments of personal property notice mus
be given to the interested parties j:
residents of the county.
The board may continue in session
four weeks. The members are pait
So. 90 per day and 10 cents a mile
travel pay, except that they shall no
be paid for more than 10 days ser
vice or mileage for more than on,
session. Boards in counties of NOR
than Is, 600 population are exempted
from this limitation.
The auditor is required to keep
record Of the proceedings of the boart
and to publish the same. After tn
adjournment of the board he is re
quired to calculate the changes ordere'
by the board and to make correction
accordingly and to transmit an alb
stract of the assessment to the Mime
sofa Tax Commission on or before tn
fourth Monday in August.

MUT|LATED BY
 HIS FRIEND
William Shultz Roughly Handled by s. F. Wren Who Sought the Collec- tion of a $3 Debt; Nose Broken, Eye Hurt

Breaking q mans nose and all but gouging out his left eye, or caving if in. is a mighty poor way for one to show his friendship, but that is what happened to William Schultz about II o'clock last night, the alleged friend being $. F. Wren. It happened in the alley in the rear of the An heuser saloon. Both men were taken to the police station where Wren, a little the worse for liquor, was placed in the cooling room. Dr. Sargent, the city physician fixed up Schultz the best he could under the cirCum- stances and he was taken to his room in the Wharton house to await results.
 Schultz was incOmmunicadO and not in a very good condition to talk any how. Schultz said he did not be- lieve Wren was drunk, at least did not notice it when they met but the police say he had the breath and bearing of one who was under the influence of the cup that sometimes cheers but more often brings out the reprehensible streaks of human na- ture. The only story available there fore is that of Schultz.
 Schultz said he was in his bed at the Wharton house on Central avenue when Wren came to his room and asked him for B that he claimed Schultz owed him. The latter replied that he did not have it but would get it in the morning. He said Wren told him he would like to see him down street on business and as the man was insistent and said he want ed his money last night Schultz got up, dressed and accompanied him down to the street in front of Gass Brothers restaurant. Wren insisted they they go up the alley. For what purpose Schultz could not imagine | but he accompanied the man as their relations had been friendly and he was not expecting any serious con- l troversy He says that as soon as they reached the dark place behind 1 the AnheuSer Wren landed a terri l fife blow on his left eye, he supposes l with his fist He dropped and could not tell what happened after that
 except that he has a vague appre- citation of the fact that his assailant
 was beating and kicking him.
 I Officer Bradley chanced to be in the near vicinity and reached the men as soon as possible placing Wren un- der arrest and leading him away tC the nearest telephone where he sum moned the patrol wagon and the men were taken to the station. By islanders as well as the officer, agree that Wren was kicking and pound ing the prostrate man vigorously un- til he was interfered with.
 By the time he reached the station ISchultz' shirt was literally soaked with blood which was flowing from
 his nose and a big gash in the lid O the left eye. The nose was broker and terribly swollen while the ey' was swollen shut. Though nobod!
 knows how the wound was made il

LIFE IN A BRAZILIAN CITY
Chronic intoxication Urged on Euro peans as an Antidote for
 Yellow Fever.

The telegraph office was in great stone building which faced the har- bor. The clerks, five or six of us. had sleeping rooms in this block. The office work itself was pleasant, and the salaries of the men were quite liberal.
 It took me about d week to get an idea of the place, and a years so- iourn did not alter my first impress sions. For a few hours during the morning there was considerable busi- ness activity, but the afternoons were usually very quiet and intensely hot The real life of the place opened up when the offices closed and the sun went down. Then d carnival of drink ing set in. In this the Europeans were the chief participants. The na- tives had their faults, but excess in drinking was not one of them
 The friendly advice l received on my arrival, to get intoxicated and re- main in that condition. if l would excape the yellow fever, was lived up to, so far as I could make out by everyone who could afford it.
 The arrival of 3 foreign Warship or man of note, called for interna- tional courtesies which frequently ended in midnight street braWls.
 The local police pOrce was helpless at the hands of these roystererS; H. cense was not confined to mere con vitality: in the midst of 1t all, Wo- men were a commodity.

unsuitable for growing children. The ice cream manufacturers of reputable standing are doing all they can to maintain proper standards, to make their product out of the pursest ma terials and under the most sanitary conditions. It is the irresponsible dealer who makes his frozen stuff frOE! recipes out of a book contain ing only 12 pages, but costing SIP, who is the one to be watched. The reason this little book costs so much is because it tells how to make ice cream for 10 cents a gallon. Gelatin of the cheapest kind and deXtrine flour are ingredients. Perhaps you do not know what deXtrine flour is:
 you may buy it from any glucose refinery. DeXtrine it is (not in the flour form) that is used for thicken- ing calico printers colors, for making adhesive paper and labels, for post
 age stamps and other purposes. In ice cream deXtrine flour gives the milk sweetness, and helps to give consistency and the illusion that
