REGENT DECIS
ION OF THE SU
PREME COURT
Which Is of Considerable Interest to
School Boards as Well as
Taxpayers.
From Saturday's Ia!ly.
A recent decision of the supreme
court in regard to the school levies of
the state is a matter of great interest
to the county school beards, as well as
the taxpayers, as it effects the sums
that these school boards are to levy
each year foir the support of the
schools, and in the state there are
twenty-one districts that have made
excessive levies for school purposes.
The supreme court has held that in
making the levies for the year the
boards must take into account the
amount of money they have on hand,
as a surplus from their last levy and
laise only sufficient funds to meet the
difference from wfyit they have on
hand and the estimated expenses for
the ensuing year. The case tested in
the supreme court wis from Buffalo
county, where a school district at
tempted to levy S2 mills on the prop
erty of the district, when they only
reeded to raise ?'J7. The Union Pa
cific, which was heavily .hit by the
levy, took the matters to court, with
the result that the levy was declared
illegal by the higher court. The levy
should rot have been More than 1 mill
tinder the decision of the court, as the
board had on hand at the time $703
of the ? needed for school expenses.
It is wei! for the rural school boards
i;i making tin ir levies in the future to
steer clear of the mistake of making
the?'- h vi s t'-o hifjh. as the decision
of the i-iiu -1 limits their right of levy
ing to thcr actual expense of the dis
trict :wid does foe allow them to make
unneces.-a: y it-vies to laise money that
will give them mere than is needed.
The dirtricts in Cass county, however,
have all kept within the limits of
their rights in the ca.-e as far as can
be le-.ired. and will r.jt be affected by
the court's decision ir. the matter.

Women who get but little exercise

Chamberlain's Tablets highly benifi-

much better than to allow the bowels
to remain in a constipated condition.

M.S. BRIGGS FILES FOR
THE OFFICE OF CLERK
OF DISTRICT COURT
The first filing for office in Cass
county was made today in the office of
County Clerk Frank Libershal, when
M. S. Briggs was entered as a repub
lican candidate for the office of clerk
cf the district court, subject to the
wish of the voters of this party at
the forthcoming primaries in April.
Mr. Briggs has held the position of
assistant postmaster for the past few
years, both under Mr. Schneider and
Mr. Morgan, and hns resigned the
position, to take effect on February
21th. Mr. Briggs has been active to
a certain extent in Cass county poli
tics for a number of years and was
prominently identified with the popu
list party when it was of a vital force
in the politics of the county, but has
since identified himself with the re

the populists for register of deeds in
1893, and in 1895 was a candidate of
this party for the office of county
clerk, and is well known to the voters
of the county. This has broken the ice
for the entries for the political handi
cap and other will soon be ready to
get into the running for the different
offices of the county.
