made they will be ~stoutly resisted by
the Day county authorities, who are
determined to hold the two men for
trial on the charge of murder If it is
possible to do SO.
On the night of the murder of
Night Officer Passage the officer un-
expectedly ran upon two men in the
act of holding up two or three har-
vest hands near the Andover railroad
depot. He attempted to arrest the
two holdup men. who fired upon him,
%wounding him so seriously hat he
died a few hours later.
AT that time a series of almost
nightly holdups were carried out on
freight trains between Milbank and
Aberdeen. Wetmore and McNeely
are believed to be the men responsible
for these numerous hOldups.
Following their original arrest on
the charge of being responsible for
the death of Night Officer Passage,
they were identified by a trainman
as the men who shot Passage. The
belief of the officers that the two al
legged murderers were responsible for
the series of holdups at that time is
based on the fact that the holdups
ceased after the two men had been
arrested.

Webster, Nov. 28.-The holding
for trial in the circuit court of Day
county of Charles Wetmore and A. G..
McNeely, who are suspected of being
the persons who shot and killed Night
Officer Dan Passage. of Andover, the
latter part of last summer, was pre-
ceded by some strenuous work on the
part of the officers.
The two defendants were original
ly arrested a short time after the
shooting and fatal %wounding of Pass
age. The other day an attorney en-
gagged by the two defendants appear
ed before Judge Bouck, of the circuit
court, where a writ Of habeas corpus
for the release of the men was re-
turnable. Upon reviewing the pre-
liminary evidence against the two
men the court held 1t insufficient and
the men were given their liberty.
However, Sheriff Garrick, of Day
county, appeared on the scene at this
juncture and Immediately rearrested
the two men. Further efforts may be
made to secure their release on writs

TAX LAWS DISCUSSED
MANY OBJECTIONS RAISED TO
EXISTING MEASURES.

Pierre, Nov. 28.-Just now, fol-
lowing the election, the matter of tax
alton in South Dakota is receiving a
lot of discussion, which, had it been
set out before the election, would
very likely have made a different rec
ord on the proposed tax amendment.
A large amount of the discussion is
aimed at the state tax commission,
with demands that If they attempt to
comply with the existing laws they
should be forced to resign, or hat
the legislature should abolish the
commission. In fact the laws of the
state have been framed to fit the pro-
vision of the constitution which the
tax commission attempted to have
changed by the amendment which
they presented. but which was voted
down.
The law as it exists is such that
any individual in the state may. if
he desires, start the machinery in
motion to compel taxation of all mon
eys and credits, whether a tax COM
mission exists or does not exist. The
constitution and laws require the as
sessment of all moneys and credits.
The rest of the plan of action is
contained in different sections of the
compiled laws, which do not really
follow in logical sequence.
Section 2071 provides that when
oath has been administered by the
assessor the penalty for refusal to
answer any and all question is a fine
of not les sthan $40, and not more
than $500, to which may be added
Imprisonment in the county Jail not
to exceed ten days.
This applies not only to the prop
erty of the person himself, but as
we'll when he is Intercepted to his
knowledge of property of others.
Section 2079 provides hal a penalty
of so per cent of the value of prop
erty withheld shall be added when
the same is discovered from any
source, and section 2075 gives the
person who discovers and brings to
light hidden property SO per cent of
the additional tax so procured.
That is. as it stands, the law fixes
a penalty On the assessor if he fails
to put the person assessed under
oath. Ii fixes a penalty for refusal
to list all property and gives a pre-
MUM to the mar who a dig up hid
den property, which opens the way
for any man to start something If he
feels in any way inclined.

1884.

First Contest of the Kind Staged in
1884.
The great contest which started
this afternoon will be the twenty-ffth
all told in the series for worlds pre-
mier baseball honors. But what with
chickering's and other Interruptions it
is thirty.two years since worlds SER
les began to be played
In 1884 the first series was staged.
Providence, champion OF the National
league, and the Metropolitans, leaders
of the American association, were the
title-holders to lock horns. PROVE
dence kicked the Metropolitan all ov-.
or the diamond, winning three games
and losing none But since then the
National league entry has been having
a harder row to hoe each year.
Lapses came in the popular series
in 1891 and there was big stretch
without a series between 1897 and
1908. The last break and the one that
almost precipitated merry war came
in 1904, when the Giants, National
league champions, refused to have
anything to do with the American lea
que Boston winners.
Byron Bancroft Johnson worked
hard during the winter of 1904 and
summer of 1905, and when October
rolled around that year the National
league was ready to tackle the champ
ions of the younger organization. The
most convincing argument used by
President Johnson was the money
question. And that argument settled
all disputes.

SUGGESTIONS TO
SICK women
How Many Are Restored To
Health.

First Almost every operation in
our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacemcnts, pain
in the side, burning sensation in the
stomach, bearing down pains, nervous
ness, dizziness and sleeplessness.
Second.-Themedicine most success
full in relieving female ills is Lydia E.
Pinkham'9 Vegetable Compound. 1t
regulates and strengthens the organism;
it oyercomes disease.
For forty years it has been making
women strong and well, relieving back
ache, nervousness, liberation and in
flammation, weakness, displacements,
irregularity and periodic pains. 1t
has also proved invaluable in prepar-
ing for childbirth and the Change of
Life.
Third. The great number Of unso-
licited testimonials on file at the Pink
ham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many
of which are from time to time published
by permission, are proof of the value of
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

Vermont than ever before.
Remember, when the state fair com
mission threw the gates open to the
world and obtained exhibitors of cat
tie to compete for the premiums from
anywhere and everywhere that howl
of protest like the bursting of bomb
took place. But the benefit that came
to the farmers of Vermont from this
open competition is not to be meas
ured. Vermont stock is exhibited to-
day at the Vermont state fair and at
the Vermont county fairs that brings
a smile of qualification not only to
the owner but to all Vermonters, who
believe in their state-and also brings
dollars in premiums.
Vermont is not losing by her $4,000
annual expenditure in her state fair
She is gaining ever year and she
would gain more if hte expenditure
were larger-large enought to permit
the commission to extend its labors
into the industrial field of the state.
The News believes in the Vermont
State Fair, and from time to time
will be willing to show its readers
why they should all favor a more lib
eral support of a most worthy insti-
tution.-Northfield News.

children as they should have been
fed"
Butter, eggs and milk have been
practically unobtainable in the
Heidelberg district for long time
Mrs. Pheteplace said. People in tho
rural districts Jared little better
than those in the cities, because they
could raise some of their food on their
own property and We're allowed by the
government to keep part of it for
their own use.
Asked what the feeling in Germany
was in regard to an early peace, she
said that there was a determination
to stick the war out to a victorious
finish.
THE Allies gains in the Somme
region are scarcely mentioned in the
papers" she said. Maybe a week
after an advance there will appear

Mrs. Phetepace said that the Ger
mans newspapers did not really con-
tain the news and that everybody
knew it.

uation as it is, the people would be
too discouraged she said.
Another passenger who has been in
Germany since the war began said
that the shortage in eggs. butter. ana

PLEA FOR STATE FAIR
Northfield Mentor Declares State In
vestment Well Warranted.

VeStment well warranted.
The tearing down process has not
ceased in Vermont. On the contrary
this attitude OF mind seems to be pop
ular in certain newspaper Offices,
where prevails the thought that the
Vermont state fair should no longer
exist as a state institution. An editor
Of newspaper-any newspaper pub
lished in any western state,-and
about every western state has its
state fair, literally supported by
state funds-giving expression to such
thought would become instantly I'M
popular and the lesson handed him
would be remembered. True Vermont
is not the west and may not have the
same interests, but should have so
far as agriculture and all that per-
tains thereto is concerned.
Vermont has state fair and good
one. TO advocate that the state re-
tire from the fair business is about as
consistent as to advise the abolishing
of the Office Of commissioner of agri-
culture. Our Burlington, Rutland and
Brattleboro contemporaries see lavish
expenditure when the state aids the
Vermont state fair to the extent of
$4,000 annually. The one true criti-
cism to make would be to advocate
greater expenditure.
Now, the 10 years the Vermont
state fair has been conducted with as
sistance from the state have been
years of agricultural progress. More
and better stock is raised today in
