More than anything else, Abe
Triplett wanted comfortable
grave. He was afraid the diggers
might cram his six foot bulk into
too small a space. so he dug a
place for himself to his own speci-

cleaning out refuse. Yesterday it
looked inviting. He shot himself

The County Tax
Valuation Drops
The 1887 Mill Rate Will
Increase as A Result of
Lower Assessable Value.

This week the announcement comes
from the office of County Auditor
Joseph E. Therrien that the county
assessed valuation for the year 1887
is 1881 ,795 which is $543,747 lower
than in 1886. The reason for this
reduction, as given out by Mr.. Their
rien, is the cancellation of all values
of over 100000 acres of tax forfeited
lands together with the lands en-
bodied within the Federal Park and
National Prison farm.
The county levy for the year be-
ginning July l, 1887 is $4,000 for
revenue, 100000 for Road and Bridge,
$4,000 for Old Age Assistance, $4,000
for interest on Old Age Assistance
bonds, $4,000 for County Welfare,
S14,157 for bonds and interest, $4,000
for Ditch, and $4,000 for County
Poor, making total of $l82,417. In
order to raise this amount of money
the mill rate for the year will be
5O.93 which is an increase of 1859
mills over 1886.
Mr.. Therrien further states that
while most of the county showed a
decreased valuation Askov village
had an increase of $2,237. The val
uation in the village for 1886 was
S62,1 compared to $64 ,405 this year.
The state mill rate is 10 mills.

Lambs Steady, Csc Up.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. Is, 1887
GU. S. D. A.: Liberal offerings at
practically all of the leading hog
centers kept values on the down
grade. The price spill here measured
mostly Csc on barrows and gifts as
compared with Saturday, or Csc to
Csc under Friday. Top of the market
slumped to $8.35, another new low
point since February 1885. Bulk
good to choice 40 to 260 pounds
brought $8.15 to $685., while 26O to
$50 pound butchers had a range of
SITS to $8.15, and few bigweights
sold as low as $7.65. Some dropped
zoe from Saturday, having a narrow
spread of $40 to $3.50 Pigs de-
clined Csc to soc despite light sup
plies, good and choice kinds going at
$3.50 to $3.50 with few plain Of
ferings down to $500.
The smallest local Monday cattle
run since early last summer failed
to revive buyer enthusiasm. Slaugh-
ter steers and yearlings sold steady to
Csc lower, the approach of Thanks
giving making killers unusually eau
tious in their purchases. Heifers
shared the same trend as steers while
cows were dull and weak to Csc
lower, some bids on fat cows as
much as SOC off. Bulls held steady,
while vealer sales decidedly favored
the weak side, considering sorts.
Stockers and feeders were steady to
Csc lower. The supply of steers and
yearlings consisted entirely of kinds
grading good and below and a price
spread of S725 to $3.50 included
bulk sales. Common light yearlings
cashed at $3.50 to $3.50. Heifers
sold downward from $3.50, cutter and
low cutter COWS ranged between $3.50
and $3.50, with butcher cows largely
$4.75 to S5.75. Top on sausage bulls
and vealers was $5.75 and $1,000
respectively. Good feeder steers
reached $500.
Sellers had firm grip on supplies
in the sheep barns. Trading dragged
most of the forenoon, but when scale
ward movement began it was at
steady prices for slaughter lambs,
instances Csc higher. Other classes
ruled steady. Bulk good to choice
lambs sold to packers at $9.75, but
shippers took stable numbers at
$1,000. Yearlings touched $8.25.
Ewes had a top of $500. Feeding
lambs sold downward from $500.

Plans for a varied recreation pro-
gram for adults and young people

Farmer Injured AS
Separator Bursts

One of the most peculiar acct
dents to have occurred in the
Granite Falls community hap
pened one evening last week when
a cream separator on the Elmer
Maxwell farm in Hawk Creek
township exploded, seriously in
juring Mr.. Maxwell, 40-year-
farmer. Mr.. Maxwell had gone
to the barn to separate the milk
with a new separator, used only
two times previously. When he
failed to return to the house an
hour later, his wife investigated
and found him lying in a pool of
blood. Being hurried to a Granite
Falls hospital, the physician found
that a piece of the iron casting
had struck Mr.. Maxwell in the
forehead with sufficient force to
break the heavy frontal bone,
forcing fragments of it into the
brain. The man was operated on
Immediately, the bone removed
from the brain, and he is now given
a fair chance for recovery. The
sight of the right eye may be lost.

International
News Review
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

International affairs were not af-
fected by the death last week of
James Ramsay Macdonald, thrice
prime minister of Great Britain, but
the announcement of his death aboard
steamer bound for South America
caused sorrow in many quarters, for,
agree with him or not-everybOdy
outstanding, conscientious and
idealistic personality, ready and able
to sacrifice personal glory where a
principle seemed to him to be at
stake.
His life story was an amazing
one, not unlike that of Abraham Lin
coin: From the very depths of alb
ject poverty this Scottish lad ener-
getically worked himself into par
lament, into the government of the
worlds greatest empire, in spite of
the fact that he made himself the
exponent of anything as unpopular
as labor's cause. Six years ago he
was ostracised by his own party be-
cause, at a most critical moment in
the social and economic history of
his country, he seemingly disavowed
his old party tenets by becoming head
of coalition cabinet. That act was
never forgiven him, but as time
passed, it has been understood much
more clearly than in the beginning.
To Macdonald, party was most i'm
portant, but if it became necessary
to choose between that and person.
alities-he preferred the latter. He
was level-headed; possessed an intel
ligence surprising in one who had
had to fight his way upward as did
he; had masterful grasp of domes-
tic and international problems and
was all his life firm believer in the
Righteousness of the cause of world
peace.
China War.
Although Macdonald at the time
of his death was lord president of
the council, he had receded more
and more definitely into the back
ground of events, partly due to po-
litical exigencies, partly to failing
health, and his passing did not cause
ripple in the developments of the
day.
Thus, Japan's continued war
