STOLEN FRUIT NOT SWEET

A benevolent old man invited a
number of small boys from the slums
to spend a day at his beautiful old
world country home; and among the
many good things which he provided
for them was bountifUl and wOnd-
rOus feast of strawberries and cream.
AS the day drew to a close, wish
ing to impress the lads with a lesson,
their benefactOr asked:
'Now, suppose, instead of having
been invited here to eat Strawberries,
you had come and helped yourselves
when nobody was looking, would you
have enjoyed the fruit so much?"
''No, sir"
'Ah! And why not?" asked the old
gentleman, inspired with a new faith
in young Americas honesty.
"'Cause, sir" came the sad and
prompt reply, eve wouldn't ave 'ad

STATES VALUATION
Will Pass the Billion Dollar
Mark

Pierre, Aug. A billion aud a
quarter dollars is the estimate which is
being considered MS about the final
showing of valuations of all prop 'rty
for assessment in this state will bs
when the figures are completed. This
will he an increase from the total of
1854. s1S, 900 on all the returns of last
year, or a little less than four times
the amount Of last year assessment.
With state, county and municipal
levies averaging go mills for last
year ranging all the way from 55.s
mills in Fall River county down to
IL mills in Hutchinson county, the
average levies for this year should be
cut down to between seven and eight
mills on valuations being returned,
and the highest county, Fall River
should not go over IA mills, provided
that the general returns are kept up to
the average in all the counties, and
provided no more money is raised by
taxation.

Pennington, Lura, Summit, Ortley

South Dakota counties which do not
take exhibits TO the state fair this real

too, a much wider significance to the

one section of the state should be un-

GIRL GANG LEADER
in Wholesale Robbery
at Cleveland, Ohio

Cleveland, o., Aug. Am Is year
old girl who has been acting as leader
of a gang Of bandits which for weeks
hiss Teen Iobbing freight CARS, delivery
and express wagons is sought by tho
police, following a raid in which
eleven boys were jailed.
According to information received
by the police, the girl does all the
scouting for the gang, hunting for op-
portunities to make raids. A refrig-
orator car was forced open and $50
pounds of butter were stolen. Several
cases of beer were stolen from a brew
cry wagon and the wet goods were
lugged to the rendezvous of the gang,
which the police have been unable to
find.
According to the police, the proceeds
from each robbery are turned over to
the girl leader and she keeps the larg-
est portion and distributes the rest
among the others.
The gang leader is said to have az
ranged a sort of Black Hand scheme
by which the boys in the gang extort
ed money from confectioners and other
small dealers in the south end.
Carl Eble and John Tomasch were
arr ested for demanding $500 in an al
legged "Black Hand letter to Valeu-
tine Keppler, a milk dealer. The
police will turn the boys over to feder-
al officers. Cash registers were the
objective points of five other boys al
rested, one of whom is alleged to
have confessed that the gang had se-
cnred between 5000 ard $700 in three
robberies during the past year.

DIFFERENTIATION
Democrats Active in Stale Build
ing Dissension Grows

Mitchell, Aug. An discussing the
senatorial situation in South Dakota
it has teen quite the common thing to
declare that with the republicans divid-
ed and the democrats united the pros-
! poets are more than even for the cleo
ton of Il democrat to the United States
Senate next year. One of the safest
predictions on the market at this
time seems to be- that the democrats
will show fully as mirked a division
of forces as there will be on the re-
publican side.
While it is entirely apparent that
the Johnson Taubman- Coffey contin-
gent started the race this spring with
q str2ng lead over the Wickem-Iee-
Ayres crowd, the minority element is
gaining recruits right along through
disappointments engendered by the
patronage situation, now conceded to
be under the general decision of John
son 81 Co. During the months proceed
lug the primary next spring, and the
election to follow, its area of dissen-
sion is quite sure to spread to a consid-
cradle extent, assuring the democrats
of a very active internal commotion.
1t is known that some of the anti
Johnson fellows are especially deter
mined to oppose the present democratic
notion of running Johnson for the
United States Senate. Within the
past few days overturnes have been
made by members of the Wickem fac
tion to members of the Johnson faction,
suggesting the propriety of uniting
on a compromise candidate. Sugges
tons of this sort are likely to be very
numerous in the interim, but there is
much doubt about results being secured
on account of the feelings that have
been aroused.
A. e, Hitchcock, present mayor of
Mitchell, and member of the board
of regents, is being discussed as a
probable democratic candidate for the
~governorship, Others recently men
toned in this connection are Or.
Rock, of Aberdeen, and Senator Bren-
nan, of Kingsbury county.
For the %senatorship the suggestions
include U. S. q. Cherry, of Sioux

ing nsIned as district attorney, and

AN IMPORTANT OPINION
Supreme Court Decides in Favor Of
County Participation in Poll Tax
Distribution for Education.

The decision of the Mississippi
Supreme Court in the case Of the
City Of jackson VS.. Kinds county,
involved interesting and important
questions concerning the use Of poll
taxes for school funds. and its law
full division. and held that city
poll taxes cannot all be devoted to
the separate school districts.
The City of Jackson, appellant, a
separate school district, instituted
suit in the circuit court against
Kinds county. appellee. for the
sum Of $9.955.45, for an alleged
balance due to the city Of the poll
taxes collected by the county from
residents of the city. The suit is
based on the theory that the sepa-
rate school district is entitled to
all the poll taxes collected from
the inhabitants of the municipality.
The county contended that the
poll taxes collected were properly
apportioned between the City Of
jackson and the balance of the
county, upon the basis of the edu-
cattle children residing in the coun-
ty outside the city Of jackson.
The City of jackson contended
that all of the money derived from
poll taxes collected from the in
habitants of the separate school
district must be turned over to the
city. while the county of Kinds
contended that the poll taxes must
be treated as a whole and divided
between the separate school dis
tricts and the county outside Of
separate school districts, on the
basis Of the educable children in
each. The trial court decided with
the county. therefore the appeal.
1t seems that an inconsistent
section of the law was retained by
the coditiers of 1890 and was also
overlooked by the legislature of
1906, which fact caused the raising
of the question. \
The opinion handed down by the
Supreme Court is important and
touches the common school interests
and advancement all over the State
and certainly concerns the common
good of the people.
