SUPERINTENDENT NELSON.

Notwithstanding that Miss Minnie
Nelson has announced positively that
she will not be candidate for the Of
fee of State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, various papers still men,
ton her name as candidate. The
State of North Dakota cannot have
Miss Nelson yet, she has some unfin-
ished work at home and the people of
Barnes County are going to see to it
that she retains here present position
for time yet, at least. Miss Mel
son has accomplished wonders for the
boys and girls Of the county but there
remains much to do and the people Of
Barnes County will be greatly pleased
at Miss Nelson's decision. Sometime
in the no far distant future Barnes
county will have candidate for the
state Office referred to, and her election
is a foregone conclusion but for an
other term at least she will be Super

FROM SATURDAYS DAILY

Last evening occurred one at the
prettiest affairs of the season at the
home of Mrs. David Richie when she
entertained at six o'clock dinner in
honor of Miss Florence Winterer.
Covers were laid for fourteen and the
table was decorated beautifully with a
basket Of pink roses in the center. In
dividual pink candles were at each
place and large bouquet Of pink roses
tied with pink tulle marked the brides
place. After the dinner the guests
played hearts.
Mr.. H. N. Tucker of Courtenay was
in the city yesterday visiting friends
and attending to matters of business.
He left for his home today.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. e. Moore Of Valley
City leave today for Detroit, MINI. Mr..
Moore will return Monday but Mrs.
Moore will remain for short visit.
Peter Ottinger of Oriska, a well
known caller here is in the city today
visiting friends and transacting bust
ness.
J. B. Wharton of Oriska, the auction.
eer, was in town today attending the
farmers meeting and visiting with
friends about town.
Last evening in the X. p. hall q few
young people spent the evening dane
ing, Miss Della Codding being hostess
of the occasion. About ten couples
were in attendance and all voted an
enjoyable time.
Attorney General Andy Miller Of Bis.
marck was in town last evening and is
here today, it is understood, to attend
the farmers meeting that was held this
afternoon. Andy is greatly interested
in the farmers, each has vote you
know, and besides it is always well ia
know which side of the fence to land
on. If the Chamber Of Commerce en-
dorses Worst why should not the So
ciety Of Equity endorse the great
Andy. Miller is a smooth politician
but it is altogether likely that the So
oiety Of Equity will be wise enough to
steer clear of any entanglements Of
that kind.
Some of the callers in town today
from the neighboring towns are F. j
Kencke of Fingal, L. D. Carver Of Luc
ca and J. B. Anderson Of Sanborn.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 81, 1914.


With from six to eight hundred
farmers present the melting Of the
Farmers Equity Society was called to
order by Alderman Charles H. Lee at
2 o'clock this afternoon. After a few
brief remarks by Chairman Lee the
mayor of Valley City, DR.. l.. S. Platou
made a brief address of welcome in
which he took OCCASION to relate some
Of his own experiences in selling grain
at the terminal markets and told how
he had been locked a couple of cents
after having sold the grain by sample.
Following the mayor the chairman
announced that M. F. Sharp of St.
Paul would not speak to them as he
was to go to Enderlin today to attend
q meeting there but Mr.. Sharp after
acknowledging the introduction stated
that he had learned that he could not
get to Enderlin so he would remain
here and asked that Mr.. Lotus talk to
them first. Owing to this paper going
to press early in the afternoon it is i'm
possible to give a complete report of
the meeting but it will b covered in
Mondays paper.
There are q number of politicians
-buzzing around including the attorney
general. The farmers do not seem to
be inclined to give much time to them
however but are very earnest in their
attention to what is being said in con.
nection with the Chamber of Com.
merce.

From Co. A0f Bismarck
SCORE 81 TO 81 At CAPITOL CITY
-ouR BOYS PLAY GREAT GAME
AND EXPECT 70 DO BETTER
JOB WHEN BISMARCK
COMES HERE.

Bismarck, Jan. 29-The Co. A has.
ket ball team last night put up great
exhibition Of basket bali against the
fast Go. G team Of Valley City, the
score being 81 to 81. Some pretty
plays were made by both teams but
the breaks Of luck favored the visitors.
The lack Of proper practice and sufa-
cient coaching on the part Of the locals
was directly responsible for their de.
feat. Considering the practice they
have had since their last game they
played great ball and showed greater
possibilities.
Some pretty spurts of team work
were made on both sides but when it
came to throwing goals the Co. G boys
showed their superiority. With the
proper practice and the same lineup
the local boys are confident that they
could defeat the aggregation from the
normal town. They promise to bring
back different story when the re-
turn game is played in Valley City In
the near future.
Wickstr0m and Heimes stared for
the visitors last evening and showed
themselves to be veterans at the
game. Many fouls were called
throughout the game but for the most
part they were for some minor in
fringment of the rules of the game.
After the game last night large
crowd enjoyed themselves at dancing
until midnight. The score and line
up Of last nights game follows:

Deep, loamy soils with open subsoils

there is plenty Of evidence to show

The second big meeting Of today
will be held this evening at the Ar
mory, when Chas. A. Russell, attorney
of Brainerd, Mimi, will address the
meeting on the legislative investiga-

Mr.. Russell will speak with author

prominent part in the work of the
Wisconsin State Grain Commission,
but since coming to Minnesota he has
been prominently identified with the
work of investigating the affairs of
the Chamber Of Commerce of Duluth

Mr.. Russell represented the COM

Important Decision
In Probate Case
DAVIS AND WARREN OF IA
INQUIRE WIN OUT IN FIGHT
AGAINST UNJUST TAXA.
TIoN.

LaMoure, N. D., Jan. 30.-The reader
will perhaps recall that in the spring
Of last year the Chronicle reported an
important decision upon the North Da-
kota probate law won by Davis &
Warren in district court. The case
was appealed on behalf of the county
by States Atty. Murfin. A few days
ago the supreme court Of the state rem
dered its decision sustaining the lower
court.
Davis & Warren for plaintiffs.
States Atty. w. H. Muran for de-
PENDANT county.
This august judicial body holds I'M
constitutional section 1889 Of the 1905
Code as amended by the session laws
Of 1909. This section requires the adj
ministration Of estates to pay into the
county court fee Of $500 for every
$1,000 appraised. for the estate to be
administered. The fee in the Dobler
estate amounted to 1886 which Davis
& Warren representing the administra-
tors Of the estate had paid into county
court under protest. The court sets
forth several things. In non.technical
language 1t says that the law amounts
to double taxation, that it imposes a
special tax for revenue and whose
proceeds 60 into the general treasury
without any specific directions as to
their use and application. In short
there is no excuse for the tax which
Is special, unwarranted, unjust and
at direct variance with the consutu-
ton Of the state.
The decision Of the Supreme court
simply knocks out" the law provid-
Ing for the probate tax on estates.
The reader will Immediately recog-
nize the importance Of the decision,
as in the case Of large estates, or con-
considering the state Is whole, the
so-called fee would amount to an i'm
mense sum. Davis & Warren are to be-
congratulated upon having conducted
to so conclusive termination q case
Of such far reaching application and
importance. The question also natur-
ally arises-"What Of the large sums
which have already been paid into
county treasures under the law? This
Is a proposition which Davis G. Warren
wish to examine into also.
