Two More Burglaries
Occur at jamestown

Jamestown, March 22.-Two more
robberies occurred in the city Tues
day evening: the Jamestown HARD
ware company and Carpenter-Neumann
Lumber company were broken into
some time during the night and rob-
bed.
Policeman Briggs, while making
his rounds, discovered the rear door
of the Jamestown Hardware COM
pany standing wide, open at 3 o'clock
this morning and at once notified
Manager J. H. Poulson, who discov-
cred this morning that the cash reg
lister had been robbed of $2.35. The
robbers forced the rear door open by
mere strength, and it is evident that
they were looking for money only,
as nothing else is missing.
At the Office of Carpenter-Neu-
mann company the robbers gained
entrance through the front door by
smashing the glass in the door and
climbing through. They forced open
the cash drawer and found nothing;
they then turned their attention to
the salt. They pulled one of the
large desks around so as to hide
them from view Of the street and
evidently worked some time trying
to open the save but failed. The rob-
berry was first discovered by Otto
Richter when he went to the office
this morning about 5:45 a. m. to pro-
cure some paper for J. Yeager Of
Bloom.
l.. C. L'Moore heard dogs barking
around the lumber yard about 4
o'clock and this is supposed to have
been about the time the robbery oc.

To the People of the Fifth Judicial
District:
For five years, have had the honor
of serving you as Judge of the Dis.
trict Court. When took up this work,
l found many cases to try which had
been on the dockets two to five years.
Having just completed the winter
terms of the six counties of the dis
trict, l am pleased to say that every
case ready for trial has been tried
and the dockets left clear. I have
given my best attention to increasing
juvenile work, a work requiring much
patience and wise discretion. My
policy has been to allow no accumu-
lation of work though the litigation
of this district is considered the
heaviest in the state. The experience
of the past gives me assurance for
greater usefulness in the future,
should the duties of this high office
be further entrusted to me. The Of
fee is entirely non-partisan, of which
l heartily approve. I submit my can
didacy upon the basis of efficiency,
dispatch of business, and economy of
administration, and ask your conf
dence and support for reelection upon
the merits of the services rendered.

S6O,131. ~" .r
In 1914 the assessed valuation for

tai tax levy for all purposes was $14,.
0O4,OO9. The actual increase in assess
ed value amounted to over $37,000,00O

Instructions to assessors have been
sent by the tax commission to all the
county auditors. These instructions
have been gotten out in the form Of a
pamphlet under the direction Of the
state board of equalization and the
tax commission.
All assessors are this year required
to assess property at rs per cent Of its
market value. The only exception to
this rule is in the case of monies and
credits, which are to be assessed at
five per cent of their actual and true
value. This will bring the tax burden
on monies and credits at about 81 a
thousand, thus carrying out the inten-
ton of the last legislature.
State Auditor Jorgenson has this
year prepared new personal property
schedule. 1t contains IS items and
all property must be listed under it's
appropriate column. Heretofore it
has been customary to allow business
houses to lump their business for as
sessment purposes, but this will no
longer be allowed.
Other changes made are in the re-
quiring of assessors to return for tax
alton purposes all animals of whatever
kind born on or before April l, 1916.
This includes all poultry, household
pets, dogs, cats and birds.
Assessors are instructed to use no
general averages as they have done
in prior years. The fair market value
Of each article must be used. In 9th
er words assessors are not to do their
assessing behind the kitchen stove but
must actually view every piece of
ground and see all taxpayers in their
districts.
BY agreement and on recommends
ton of the state auditors association,
elevators are to be assessed according
to their capacity. Crib elevators $50
per thousand bushel capacity; con-
crete elevators rs thousand bushel
capacity.
Assessors this year must assess all
fences, giving the number of rods of
fencing and the value per rod. Diff
ferent values must be placed on diff.
foront l.indc Of fonooc
The $50 exemption allowed by law
will be made this year by the county
auditor. Assessors will not be allowed
to make any exemptions of any kind.
Lodge property is assessable this
year under a recent opinion by Attor-
ney General Linde. In accordance
with this opinion assessors are re-
qufred to list all this class of property,
witch has heretofore been exempt.
If assessors fail to follow the in
structions issued to them and COM
plant is made to the tax commission
of any failure to follow the instruc-
tons, a reassessment will be ordered
at the expense of the district. This
will especially apply to failure to list
all monies, credits, stocks, bonds and
other intangible valuables owned or
held within the state.

HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?

Do colds settle on your chest or in your
bronchial tubes? Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troubles?
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of SCOTS Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
Scott Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res.
piratory tract and improves the quality OF
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
SCOTS is prescribed by the best special
lists. You can get it at any drug store.
