TO THE TAX PAYEES OF LINCOLN
COUNTY, NEBRASKA.
North Platte, Neb., Nov. 5, '96.
I desire to call your attention to
tbe following" provisions of the
statutes of Nebraska in relation to
the duty of county treasurers and
the law g-overning' the payment of
personal taxes.
1895 Statutes, page 903, section
4372:
"JVb demand for taxes shall be
necessary, hit it shall he the duty of
every person subject to taxation
under the laic of the state to attend
at the treasurer's office at the county
seat and pay his taxes and if any
person neglect so to attend and pay
his 2WSonal taxes until after the
Jirst day of January next after
such taxes became due, ( Taxes are
due October 1st, of each year.)
the treasurer or the sheriff of the
county when directed by distress
warrant issued by said treasurer
to said sheriff is directed to levy
and collect the same, together with
the penalty and costs of collection
by distress and sale of personal
property belonging1 to such person
in the manner provided by law for
the levy and sale on execution."
Section 4381, Statutes of 1895,
makes it the duty of each county
treasurer to make affidavit (before
settlement with the county com
missioners) that the personal taxes
unpaid on the tax books cannot be
collected. 'JLnat tue persons as
sessed have no personal property
out of which the personalty can be
collected.
I hereby give notice that I will
issue distress warrants Dec, -15,
1896, to the sheriff of Lincoln
county for the collection of all un
paid personalty taxes for the year
1895. Butler Buchanan,
County Treasurer.

The success of the free silver
ites in this city Tuesday and the
apparent indication that many who
said they intended voting for Mc
Kinley told a falsehood, recalls to
the mind of an old resident two ep
isodes of by-gone campaigns.
Many years ago when there were
but three voting precincts in Lin
coln county, a gentleman named
McKinney ran for a county office.
He traveled over the county and
solicited the vote of every voter.
Without exception he was promised
support by each, but when the
votes were counted he found that
but three were for him. This led
him to exclaim that the voters of
Lincoln county were the d liars
he ever knew. There was another
similar instance. A gentleman
who is still a resident of a precinct
bordering on North Platte was a
candidate for a county office and be
seeched the votars to elect an hon
est man meaning himself and
many promises of support were
given him. When the votes were
counted it was found he had less
than a dozen. These experiences
lead one to believe that little confi
dence can be placed in man's truth
fulness during a political campaign.

DEATH OF MBS. HAEBINOTON.
The death of Mrs. M. C. Har
rington, which occurred Tuesday
night, removes from our midst one
of our most widely known and
highly respected ladies, and among
her large circle of friends and ac
quaintances her demise has cast a
sorrow and gloom that years will
not efface.
The deceased came to this city
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Isaac Lamplugh, from Peoria in
1873 when but a child of seven, and
with the exception of "a period
spent awaT at ( school had been a
resident ever since. In 1886 she
was united in marriage to Mr.
Harrington, and six3'ourig children
survive, two being twins which
were born about two week's prior
to the mother's death.
In social and. church circles Mrs.
Harrington for many years held a
high position, and as a wife and
mother was tender and devoted.
Being the possessor of a well
trained voice, Mrs. Harrington was
of material assistance in a musical
way to St. Patrick's church, and in
entertainments given for charitable
purposes she was ever willing to
lend her assistance. In fact her
time and talents were freel' given
to the furtherance of any object
which tended to make people hap
pier or better. Her many admir
able traits of character won and
retained the friendship of every
acquaintance, and to know her was
to be her friend.
The funeral was held at St. Pat
rick's church this morning at 9:30,
a very large audience being present
to pay their last respects to the one
who for many years had been a
true tnend. 'riie remains were in
terred at the Catholic cemetery
south of the cit'.

October 30th No. 2 on the Union
Pacific was late, and leaving North
Platte was run in two sections.
The first, in charge of Engineer
Austin, with engine 835, consisted
ot two mail cars, one baggage car
and Conductor Ivirsch's caboose.
The train pulled out of North Platte,
ran to Lexington and took water,
and left Lexington just sixty min
utes after leaving the starting
point. The train left North Platte
at lo:44 and is registered out at
Kearney at 12:19, thus making the
run of ninety-six miles, with one
stop west of here, and a loss of sev
eral minutes here in ninety-five min
utes. This is the fastest time ever
made over this part of the Union
Pacific, and it may be stated, too,
that considerable rivalry exists
among the throttle pullers on this
division. Kearney Hub.

shortly afterwards was noticed to
be sinking. Before her family
could be notified she was dead.

The returns from all the precincts
of the county have been received at
the county cleric's office, and the of

The abstracts ot the vote as re

the official canvass. Enough is
known, however, to predict a pop
ulist majority ranging from 200 for
Bryan to 400 for Beeler.
In this senatorial district Feltz,
