living nea Rec Heights. The only
visible effects of his experience as a

forehead and a few minor cuts and
bruises.
Lauzon was approaching town in
his automobile just as a freight train
IA passing through town. When he
was about to reach the railroad cross
ing the engineer of the approaching
train blew a warning whistle and sew
eral men shouted warnings to Lau-
zon, who stopped his car within a
few feet of the track. In the excite
ment of the moment Lauzon mad
v~ertently placed his foot on the for
ward lever, shooting the automobile
on the track. The locomotive struck
the automobile a little to n side of
the front, smashing the front part OF
the machine, hurting car and driver a
distance of about so feet. Lauzon
was unconscious when picked up, but
soon recovered. To the establishment

MILWAUKEE RAILWAY
Service on Main Line North Will BE
Improved.

Mobridge, May 81. - Beginning
with Sunday, May %, two important
changes will be made in the railroad
service on the Milwaukee road out
of here.
Local train No. 3 from the Twin
Cities and Aberdeen will run through
to Miles City, Mont, furnishing local
service to the trans-Missouri stations,
leaving st. Paul at Sis p. m, Aber-
deem at Sis a. m, and reaching here
at 1905 a. m, central time, and
leaving at 1905 a. m, mountain
time for Miles City.
Local service from the west will be
supplied by train No. % from Miles
City to Mobridge. leaving Miles City
at 7:45 a. m, and arriving here at
1850 p. m. This train will make no
connections.
On the same date passenger service
between Mclaughlin and New Eng
land will be established by trains
Nos. 201 and 204. The former train
will leave Mclaughlin at 11:40 a.
m, reaching New England at $40 p.
c. Train No. 204 will leave New
EHBidHu dt Lou p H., itdcalhS MI
Laughlin at 6 p. M, connecting there
with No. % for Mobridge. Train
201 will connect with No. 3 at Nc
Laughlin.
The present mixed train service
running on the New England branch
will be changed from daily to tri-
weekly.
Railway postofice service will be
established on both of these trains, it
is expected, this service being of great
value in taking care of the parcel
post and the more bulky mails, No. 3
thus relieving much of the burden OF

ABATEMENT OF TAXES
of County Boards Are Per-
sonally Liable When Exceed
ing Right.

Pierre, May 21.-A general up
heaval ove the state of South Dakota
in taxation matters will result from
the opinion of the attorney general
to the tax commission in relation to
the abatement of taxes. The attor-
ney general holds that only for three
definite reasons may taxes be refund
ed, Notwithstanding the general prac-
tice TO refund in cases where it is
claimed they have been enormously
charged"
The recognized cuases are: First,
when ii appears that the full amount
of taxes assessed against real prop
erty cannot be realized by a sale of
the property; second, where ii APP
pears that real estate has been offered
for sale two successive years and re-
ceived no voucher on account of de-
probation of the value of the prop
erty; and, third, where il appears
that the property assessed has been
destroyed by fire, cyclone or other
unavoidable casualty.
III they are abated in any other cir
cumstances whatever, the members
of the boards become personally liza

fully abated or refunded" says the
attorney general. Any statutory pro-
vision, in any way legalizing the COM
mon practice over the state of county
commissioners refunding taxes claim
ed to have been enormously assessed
is lacking, except i'm the instances
mentioned.

Yankton. May 21.-A few years
ago the Missouri river cut across
several miles of sandbar and into the
James river. forming a new mouth
for the smaller stream. This mouth
has now become choked with sand
from the Missouri, until the James

an outlet. The situation has become
so serious that recently a government
engineer from the war department
was here. and recommended the
mouth be cleared of the sandbar. Con-

Freckle-Face
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots
How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable dealer that 1t
will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while If it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifing.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case.
Be SURE to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
freckles.
