Commissioners of the revenue IN
every part of the State are liable or
their official bonds for failure to as
sess all property in their DISTRICTS

cussing the matter of omitted taxes
as disclosed By reports Of Examiner
Sands. -. 49,
"These omitted taxes in many cases
occurred in the lives Of the men
whose estates are now being made
to paw such taxes. There are many
cases in which commissioners of the
revenue are not getting the property
belonging to living men. 1t is this
for which they are liable on their
official bonds. 1t may become neces-
sary for me to take action in some
of the cases, as much as I may re-
greet being forced to take such a
STEP"
Mr.. Moore says that so far he has
not heard from a solitary examiner
of records in any part of the-State,
other than this city, where the Off

J. S. " AUCH
AT THE GRAND.
"AIma, Where Do You Liver" the
Famous Musical Comedy at the
Grand Thursday Night.

One of the most brilliant geniuses
of the modern French school of music
is Jean Briquet. He is the composer
of the score of the new German
French farce with music, alma,
Where Do You Live?" which Joe
Weber will present here at the Grand
next Thursday night.
Mr.. Weber, in way, is responsible
for the vogue which has followed
Briquets music in this country. In
the various processes of producing
the original French farce in other
countries, notably Germany, the music
of BriQuet was gradually eliminated
and that of local composers substi-
tuted. Even when Adolph Phillip
brought the German version to Am
erica and produced it in New York
he had eliminated all but few of the
original Briquet numbers.
With considerable sagacity, how
ever, Mr.. Weber, restored the entire
BriQuet scores for his New York pro-
.duction in English and the result was
a popularity for Briquet in this coun-
try which was not included in even
his fondest dramas of success.

Opening Last Night

The opening of the new Weir the
alter last night was greeted by ca
pacity house, and the bill presented
was well worthy of the occasion, and
a better pleased audience has sell
dom been seen in Aberdeen.
The audience was welcomed to the
new house by Hon. M. E. Weir, of
Seattle, the father of Mrs. Edward
Dolan, for who the theater was nam
ed, in neat little speech, in the
course of which he outlined the poll
cy to be pursued by Mr.. Dolan in
the conduct of the theater. At the
conclusion of the speech. several
handsome floral pieces We're passed
to the stage for Mr.. Dolan.
The star acts We're Grimm and
Bregers, bar experts; Sigma Roberts,
Swedish delineator; Hugh J. Emmett,
ventriloquist; Lillian Holmes, vocal
list; Bidini and Arthur, jugglers, and
the three Melvins, gymnasts.
All the acts were good, but the
palm must be awarded to the Mel
wins, who gave some thrilling gym
nastic feats, which caused the audi
ence to gasp.
Emmett, the ventrloquist, was
wonderfully clever, and threw his
voice around the room at will. The
jugglers were also the best in their
line ever seen here, and couple of
good moving pictures We're presented.
The same bill will be given tonight
and tomorrow night, and if the public
patronzes this show house as it
should be patronized, it will grow
better and better and Aberdeen will
be proud of it and of the enterprise
OF Mr.. Dolan. who is responsible
for it.

that an after the theater supper was
not injurious. His theory is-eat when
and where and what one wants. A
few Of his tips on dieting follow:
"Pie.-Almost necessity to life. Hot
mince. cold mince, lemon with or
without the meringue), pumpkin, apple.
raisin or almost any kind of fruit pie
is good. Take one slice after the mid
day meal and q big slice after the
evening meal.
"Eggs.-The harder they come the
better If you know how to eat them.
A hard boiled egg is generally better
than a soft boiled egg, because you in
stinctively chew hard boiled one.
while you just gulp the soft ones. II
you know how to eat the soft ones, they
are just as good as ones cooked hard.
"Steaks.-Every one should have his
steak served frequently. If you like 1t
rare, have it rare. but often. If you
like steak we'll done. have it we'll done.
One is as good as the other. There is
no real choice except in matter Of
taste.
1.-THE only kind Of pie that isn't good
is the kind mother used to make.
Maybe you remember that soggy. sub
stantial undercrust that melted, and
yet did not melt, in your mouth. It
was crust whose sickness mother
had absolutely waterproofed against
the attacks Of the digestive juices. But
the modern pie. with its crisp. starchy
crust. is entirely different"

Equality Before the Law.
All men--and women--are equal be-
fore the law. At least under our
system OF government they are sup
posed to be, yet in cases of this
kind the Aberdeen police seem to
have one sort of law for men and
another for women. When the ar
rest in this case was made, the two
men were Immediately released on
$50 bail, and offered to bail the wom-
en-. Bail for the latter was refused,
and they were kept in the city Jail

mission to bail, nearly fOrty-eight
hours later. lf this practice is the
custom at police headquarters, the
general public has not been aware
of it, not will it long be tolerated
now that it has become known. The
average citizen likes a square deal,
and if there is any favors going as
between man and women, believes
the woman should receive the Long
end.

No we are not electlOneerlng,
but we would like to see every
Aberdeen woman who has right
to vote to register now so they
may get a vote at the coming
Spring election. We would also
like to have every one OF them
snd all others come in and see
our new Spring stocks OF mer-

both Of these things and at the
same time get a reliable mailing
list of all our patrons in the city,
we are going to make you this
offer although it may cost us
hundreds of dollars.
"Every Aberdeen woman who
will register and promise to vote
at the coming Spring election
can give us her name and adj
dress and during the time be-
tween then and the election in
April we will allow her a dis
count of 10 per cent on all her
purchases.
This will mean a saving of
many dollars to our regular Gus

new ones to the store. We want
you to compare our stocks and
prices with any others available
to you and if everything is not
just little ahead Of any other
we won't expect you to buy
merely to save the 10 per cent.
If, as we expect, you do find
just what you want at satisfac-

cents on each dollar you spend
ought certainly to induce you to
do your duty as an American

count for just as much as that
