In order to Secure the exemption | of $100 on assessments levied on personal property, as allowed by the law of this state, the taxpayer will have to prepare a verified list of all his belongings, to which he is required to make a sworn state- ment as to its accuracy. This ruling was made by the tax commission of the state, and the attention of County Auditor Wil mann has been called to it by Frank L. McVey, the chairman. It will be enforced to the letter, Ac- cording to the opinion of Attorney General Young, the county auditor cannot give the taxpayer credit for $100 unless the property owner has made this list and sworn to it. Another matter to which Mr. McVey calls Mr. Wilmann’s atten- tion is that the property owner must make a listing of all - creditors, which the assessor cannot offset by indebtedness unless the person as- sessed makes a verified -ist of the debts. That is, should a person have some article for which he is indebted, he must make an .account- ing of the indebtedness or he will be taxed for its full value. The third matter relates to the auditor to refuse toissue certificates to assessors whose books do: not comply with the law. Each asses- sor will be required to see . that his books are perfectly correct before he receives compensation for his wPrk. Charles Clark Buried. Charles Clark, who died last Fri- day from appendicitis, was buried Sunday, in Greenwood cemetery.

The congregation of the First Presbyterian church of Bemidji, held its annual meeting in the auditorium of ‘the church last' evening, at 8 o’clock The congregation partook of a very fine supper, served by the lad- ies of the church in the lecture room. At 8 the business meeting was opened, and two elders were elected, Dr. E. H. Marcum to succeed him- self for a term of four years, Robert’ McLeod to succeed himself for'a term of three years. The congregational meeting was then called to order by Rev. White, Mr. G. W. Campbell being chosen chairman and Mr. Floyd Brown clerk. The reports of the various socie- ties were heard, and showed that the church was closing the best year in its history.

The pres- ent membership in good standing is 1207 A The ‘congregation , voted Mrs. Andrew Warfield a vote of thanks and a little token of esteem for her faithfulness as organist; while the words of appreciation expressed by many, conveyed the sentiment of the whole congregation, giving greater- evidence of the esteem in which she is held. The pastor was surprised by the congregation unanimously voting to increase his salary $100. Mr. Floyd Brown, Mr. T. C. Eckstrand and Mr. A. Lord were elected_as trustees for a+ period of three years each. Best Show of the Season. “On the Bridge at Midnight,” at the opera heuse .ast night, proved to be one of the best plays that has been given in a local theatre. The company carried a splendid lot of scenery, but was unable to put it all up, owing to the small size of the local stage, although there EUGENE WEST. were two or three pieces that were very good. i However, the company gave the entire dialogue of the play, which was filled with intense interest throughout, The work of Oscar Handler, as baron, was exceptionally clever. Mr. Handler’s acting is on a par with that of Clay Clement, who made the German character in “The New ' Dominion” so famous. Mr. Handler is a ‘capable and painstak- ing actor. District Court. The criminal calander at this term of district court is being dis- posed of very rapidly and quite a number of people accused of crime, have plead guilty to the charge lodged against them. Yesterday not less than three persons plead guilty to crimes. Witales Sjogren plead guilty to assault in the third degree. Sjogren ‘was sentenced to pay a fine of $60 and costs. George Asmus, indicated on the charge of robbery in the first degree, first asked for trial and then, with the consent of the court, withdrew “Granny” and later as the German| his plea of not guilty to robbery in the first degree and plead guilty to the charge of grand larceny in the second degree. Asmus was remanded to jail for sentence on March. 31, Bert Roberts, indicted on the charge of uttering a forged instru- ment, also withdrew his plea of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty. He was also remanded to jail for sentence on March 31. After the jury had brought ina verdict of not guilty in the case of the state vs. Jake Cochran, charged with grand larceny 'in the first de- gree, Judge Spooner ordered a spec- ial venire of seven jurors, return- able Thursday, April 2, at9a. m,, thereafter excusing the jurors until the same time. There was nothing doing in court this forenoon.’ In chambers Judge Spooner considered the case of Kelp vs. Kelp, wherein Mrs. Kelp sued for divorce from her husband on the grounds of drunkeness. Judgement was entered for the plaintiff, and a decree of divorce will be issued. Mrs. Symington is Dying. The editor of the Pioneer has received a card from Professor Thomas Symington, in which the latter conveys the sad news that there is absolutely no possible hope for the recovery of Mrs. Symington, and that the attending physician has pronounced the case hopeless. Mr. Symington states that all sorts of complications have set in, and that Mrs. Symington is suffering great pain. The sincere sympathy of the whole of Bemidji goes out to Mr. Symington in his hour of trouble, when his heart is full and he is nearly heart-broken. ‘When the sad event has passed, Mr. Symington will undoubtedly return to Bemidji, and it is up to the people whom he has served so well to assist in taking off the rough edges of his great sorrow.

KAISER BACKS DOWN Letters Objecting to Dr. Hill as Ambassador Withdrawn, STATEMENT FROM BERLIN German Foreign Office Endeavors to Clear Up Situation by Denying That It Ever Intended to Recall Hill's First Approval. Berlin, March 31.—In its communi- cation (o Baron von Sternberg, the German ambassador at Washington, regarding the acceptance of Dr. David Jayne Hill as American ambassador to Germany in succession to Charle- magne Tower the foreign office direct- ed Baron von Sternberg to say to President Roosevelt, among other things, that Emperor Willlam hoped the president would consider the mes- sages forwarded through Mr. Tower and Lloyd C. Griscom, the American ambassador to Italy, as not sent. The German foreign office has sent to the Associated Press the following official declaration on the subject: “The notices which have appeared hitherto in the foreign press in regard to the Hill affair have originated in the erroneous impression that it was intended in Berlin to recall the ap- proval given here last autumn to Mr. EMPEROR WILLIAM. Hil's appointment. This has never been thought of. It is true that doubts subsequently arose as to whether Mr. Hill would feel himself comfortable in the post of American ambassador to Berlin, but these doubts have been removed, so that nothing stands in the way of Mr. Hill's nomi- nation to the Berlin embassy, and he will be welcome in Berlin now, as he would have been before, or as any other unobjectionable representative would ‘-be who should be named by President Roosevelt. “It is to be stated emphatically that throughout the whole incident the am- bassador, Mr. Tower, has not swerved for one instant from the straight line of absolutely loyal and honorable con- duct toward his own government and the imperial German government.” Boy Musician Enthuses Hearers. St. Louis, March 31.—Abe Morris, a pale, anaemic boy of twelve, en- thralled the members of the St. Louis club at a dinner by his rendering of Mendelssohn’s Concerto. His enthusi- astic auditors immediately subscribed a fund of $3,000 to send the boy to Brussels for a thorough musical edu- cation. Pins, Buttons and Charms Made in Solid Gold, Gold Filled and Plate.
