. . The fiscal year in the county treasurers office begins on
July I each year.

All ] ] of the 1904 levy is uncollected ] ] ) at this date , as the
, - 1904 taxes do not become due until November 1.
, g : Had only a 4 } mill ] ] levy for 1904 taxes been made
it would have yielded. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $24 , ooo 00

Which would be more than enough to meet all ] ] expenses
of the county for the balance of the fiscal year.
As the county has never in anyone year expended more
than $55,000 00 , and as 314 months of the fiscal year have
now passed , the expenses of the county for the balance of
. . the fiscal year should not be over $40 ; 000 00. This proves
that a . mill levy would provesc
4 not only have been sufficient to meet
all ] expenses of the county for the fiscal year from July I , I904
to ' July I , 1905 out will leave a balance in the treasury at . the
, . le'nd' of the fiscal year of about $23 , 000 00.
. . . . Notwithstanding this was all ] known to the county board 1
.
at the time it made the nine mill levy , so that at the end of
this fiscal year , July I , our ;
1905 county treasury will ] have on
hand 53,000 00.

Sorosis Club.
An interesting program Wi'S
'r ( . given at thc regular meeting of
the Sorosis club Wednesday fter-
noon. Mrs Clyde Johnston was
hostess and fourteen members re-
spondee1 to roll call. This was
Federation day and reports of the
state federation meeting held at
. .
Seward were given by Mrs. John-
ston , delegate trom Sorosis and
Mrs. \V. 11."Tilson , : ' vice presi-
" Lent of the first district. Both
papers were deserving of their
J cordial reception. Current Events
occupied a few moments , and the
. pleasant afternoon was closed

Ditching Gnng.

The younger generation was
treated to a novel and strange
sight Tuesday afternoon when a
Missouri ditching gang drove

throngh Main street with fifty
oxen hitched to their apparatus.
Miss \IcDonald's school was
dismissed and the children were
as excited as they would have
been at a circus parade.
' '
The gang was going to 1\11'
Miller's farm on thc muddy to
work fur several days. The
great patIent beasts
are very
powerful and are an ideal animal
to use in ditching ventures. The
cruelty with which their drivers
lashed them
created a desire on
the part of the
crowd that asscm-
bled to use the "bull whips"upon
thc men.
Democratic Meeting.
Hon. Mike Harrington and
Hugh LaMaster spoke at the
court house Monday e\'ening.
Mr. Harring-ton is a pleasing
speaker and a good lawyer. He
made the mistake of confusing
abuse of GO\ Mickey with politi-

Back in the Fold.
A reporter was given thc op'
portunity of talking to Hon. Win , .
Fcn tOil in Dawson the ethel
evening , and learned with plea
ure that : Mr. li'enton is an entllus
astic supporter of Presidcl1 tt t
Roosevelt and the republican
ticket. "Judgc Parker telegram
alienated me from democracy ,
said 11Ir. Fenton. "I
only left ]
the republican party on the moncy
questipn" hc continued. " .Anc1
now 1 am glad to get back. "
For many years William i ' en -
ton was a leader of the rcpubli-
can party and exerted a great in -
11ucnce in its councils. That a
man of his strong principles has
returned to thc fold is a source of
g ratification to all republican
and indication of the cnormous
vote Theodore Roosevelt will bc
giren in the west.
Republican Meetings.
Large and enthusiastic meet-
lngs have been held by the republican -
publican candidates at Dawson ,
Shubert , I1aiel Grove school 1
house : and Fargo within the last
.veek. . . At each meeting the hal ll 1
.
, vas crowded to C'loIl'h , J" , 'IL
' . _ . . , "PH\-.l , ) uy ill-
te'ntive and enthusiastic voters.
This is in ( marled ; contrast to the
meetings held by the opposition ,
which have been poorly attended.
The sentiment in this county has
u ndergone a remarkable change
in the last ten day's. ' ' hc revenue
law has lost its terrors as it hag
become better understood. ' ' he
reporter has talked with many ,
voters in the last week in several
precincts and the same report is :
return d in each instance : . " 'Ve , 1
arc all rig-b there. The voters
understand the revenue law now , 1
and all republicans and many 1
disgusted democrats are in line. " :
The Tribune is safe in saying to
its readers in these , the closing" ;
days of the campaign , that all is I

a good heat and would have made
his special play winning' a homc
