Hlti II TAXES.'
The taxes for the year of 1874 are
due, and the taxpayer finds when be
comc3 to settle with J. C. Cummins,
Esq., that the tariff is frightfully high.
There is no little complaint among all
classes on this account, and there is
ground for it. The truth is, the taxes
in this county have become overbur-
densome. "Without going back to dis
cuss the causes we must admit the fact.
Times are hard, and our citizens feel
he grinding pressure, laid upon them;
wo do not wonder that they complain;
taxes should and must bo reduced.
We are gratified to be able to say
that our representatives in the Lgis-
ature, Messrs. Chapman, Brown Barnes
and Farley, during the late session at
incoln, fulfilled the pledges made the
people of Cass county through the Re-
mblicau platform last year, viz: to
imit the power of county and munici
pal authorities to levy taxes.
We will publish at an early date, an
Act passed by the Legislature at its
ast session, limiting amount of levy for
various purposes. We understand the
amount that can be levied, has been
reduced one-half. This act was intro
duced by the delegation from Cass, and
ts passage secured through the earn
est and active efforts of members from
this countv.
We trust it may at least prove a par
tial remedy for the evils of a high tax
ation from which our people are suf
fering.

A Trip np Conntry.
Decatur. Bukt Co., Neb.,
May 3d, lb75.
Old Herald: Here I am safe and
sound, though tired and cross, after a
thirty mile stage ride over the present
roads. At Omaha we found the water
lad really been up and on a bender, in
other words, got high. At Platts-
mouth, we know little about real high
water, that is, any damage from it.
All around the O. & N. W. depot the
remains of the high water were to be
seen. 1- airly seated in the cars and oil
the river bottom though, we forgot all
about it; .and in meeting old friends,
and chatting about other days, the
time skipped away, so quickly that we
were at Ft. Calhoun almost before we
ought to have left Florence. Hon. Elam
Clark, and Hon. Ed. Grinnell, (mem
ber of the Con. Con. from Washington
county), and John Howe, Esq., lawyer,
from Omaha, were aboard the train,
all old friends of the Herald, and
conductor Herman kept us all alive
and roaring, talking politics and telling
anecdotes.
AT CALHOUN
Judge, Congressman Crounse got
aboard, and rode to Blair with U3.
This didn't "spile" the fun any, and
that old "caboose" rang again with one
joke after another. Arrived at
B LA I II
we found a plum temperaneo town,
Charley McMenerny was shut up no
license the new law caught him
and Alicia ISilly 1-ox was in
high feather, .and shook us by tho hand
right heartily. We met many old
friends but could not stop, and soon
steamed away for Herman. From
there to Tekama we took one of Jim
Stevenson's four horse Concord Coach
es, seven passengers inside.
TEKAMA.
The growth of Tekama the past two
years has been wonderful. It used to
be one of the most dilapidated towns
on the road, except De Soto. Now it
is a fine, thrifty growing place, the real
terminus of the O. & N. W. It. II., for
the present, and improving daily with
railroad speed. Many fine business
houses have gone up, and the country
around has improved wonderfully.
We dine at the old "Block House," kept
by J. J. Adams now, and then take a
two-horse "jerky" for Decatur. As it
has jerked some of the best of my ideas
out of my head, not to speak of other
things, I shall close this letter, hoping
the Herald will appear on time,
Thursday, Editor or no Editor.

finest I ever saw being here and they yielded M)
busliels to the acre. I'olatocs also crow in
abundance, but our little Slienherdstown Col
orado bun played havoc w ith the crop last year.
The climate is much colder than in Jefferson
county. West lrginia. Fruit lis scarce here

IUPOttTAST TO ILL.
The most general complaint that
seems to spare neither class nor condi
tion of person, is seated in the liver,
Many with woe begone countenances
desponding spirits and depressed feel
ings, exaggerate every event until even
suicide has been known to result from
this morbid condition of body and mind
yet Simmon's Liver Begulator is known
to be a specific for affections of the
Liver, Spleen and Kidneys. Unlike
most preparations it fully meets the
wants of the patient whose liver or
stomach is disorganized and soon re
stores the emaciated and dvspeptic suf
ferer, to a more hopeful condition of
life than he could otherwise hope to
attain.
The Episcopal Jtethodist says: "This
medicine is acknowledged to have no
equals as a Liver Medicine, and it gives
us great satisfaction and supreme pleas
ure to endorse what skill lias developed
in securing so valuable a remedy as
Simmons Liver. Regulator.
Why is a compositor like a cripple?
Because he can't get along without
stick.
