DAKOTA OITY, NEBRu Mary Spencer Claimed By Death Word came by telegram to friends here last Thursday that Miss Mary Spencer had passed away at the home of her mother, Mrs Etta M. Spencer, near Hoyt, Colo., on Wed nesday, December 23. 1914. For the past six years she had been a sufferer with tuberculosis, and even when knowing that a cure was hopeless, not a murmer or word of complaint came from her lips. The deceased was born in Dakota City, Nebr., January 3, 1883, and had lived here all her life until stricken with the fatal disease, when she took up her residence in Denver, Colo., in hopes that the change might effect a cure. Her condition grew gradually worse, and three years ago her mother moved from this place to Hoyt, Colo., where she established her home with a son, James Spencer, and took her daugh ter there to care for her. The final summons came, and with the same fortitude that marked her years of suffering, she passed peacefully on to that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. The deceased is survived by her mother, Mrs Etta M. Spencer, three brothers James, of Hoyt, Colo.; Craig L., of Seattle, Wash., and John, of Chihuahua, Mexico; and four sisters Mrs. Helen Cunningham, and Mrs.Claire Carlson, of Seattle, Wash; Mildred Spencer, of Hoyt, Col., and Mrs. Margaret Josiansen, of Arizona. The remains were shipped to . r childhood home here for interment, accompanied by her mother, her brother Craig and sister Milured. The funeral services were held Sun day from the M. E. church in this Elace, of which she had been a mem er nearly all her life. Rev. C. F. Luscher, of South Sioux City, con duced the services. Interment was made in the family lot in the Dakota City cemetery. The Herald 1 year, $1. Real estate loans. Geo Wilkens. MoundCity Paints and Varnishes preserve and beautify Dakota City Pharmacy.

Sioux City Journal, 28: Harvest ing of R'"'v"x City't i-p (--) will Start ulio ...Lilian ill v..,)ol,ul luhL, where a force of 200 men will be put to work by the Consumers Ice Co. Indications for a large crop of ice arc good this year. The cold weather of the last three weeks has made a good harvest certain, it is stated. The opening of the ice harvest is expected by officials of charity or ganizations to help relieve the unem ployed situation in Sioux City. With the demand for 200 men today and probally as many more with the opening of the harvest on the Big Sioux river, at least half the laborers who are out of work at the present time will be given employment, it is asserted. While the ice on tho river is good, it has ont yet reached tho proper thickness for cutting. It is expected that with another week or two of similar weather the ice will be thick enough. Internal Revenue Pointers In answer to direct questions, the collector of internal revenue for Ne braska, this week wrote the Dakota County Abstract Company relative to internal revenue to be paid on deeds, etc., and as the information will be of general interest to the public, the Herald herewith presents the substance.of the letter: A deed is taxable according to the interests conveyed. If the interest is nominal and the property is con veyed for a consideration of $1, which is the full amount of the con sideration, there wouid be no tax. No tax is required on notorial cer tificates of acknowledgments to deeds, mortgages, assignments or releases. Bonds of public officials, which in cludes state, county, city and school district officers, are taxable. If the sureties are personal, each bond re quires n 50 cent stamp. If the su rety is a guaranty company the only tax required is one half of one per cent of the premium charged. All stamps of the denomination of 10 cents and larger must, in addition to being canceled with the initials and date, havo three parallel lines cut through them. In addition to the foregoing it might be well for all to learn that a stamp for 2 cents on each $100 or fraction thereof is required on all promissory notes. That a deed, instrument or writ ing whereby lands, tenements or other realty sold shall be granted, assigned, transferred, or otherwise conveyed to, or vested in, the pur chaser or any other person by his direction, when tho consideration or value of the interest or property conveyed, exclusive of tho value of any lien or encumbrance thereon, exceeds $100, and does not exceed $500, requires a 50 cent stamp, and for each additional $500 or fraction al part thereof in excess of $500, 50 cents. No instrument in writing iriven to secure a debt is taxable, except, of course, notes. This exempts mort gages. The county clerk cannot file for record any instrument requiring a stamp, unless the stamp is affixed before presenting for filing.
