The assessment books are nt Inst in
such a shape that the county comtniss
sioners have been enabled to eatlmato
the levy for tho coming year.
The levy for county revenue will
probably be place at 10 mill?, as against
10 mills last year. The latter in
eluded the 1 mill tax which was im
posed to retire the court house bonds,
the last of which will be paid off in n
week or so.
It is estimated that the ten-mill levy
will raise $22,170 for the general fund;
$10,700 for the bridge fund and $4.'1C5
for the special road fund.
The new revenuo law has brought a
large amount of personal property to
light which has heretofore escaped tax
ation. In the city of Auburn alone
this showed an increase of $8,075.
This class of property will bo corapelk
ed to share the burden of taxation in a
more equitable manner than it has
heretofore done. It is not yet known
how much tho state levy will amount
to, but the law fixes the limit at i
mills. Auburn Herald.
On his retirement from the ofHce of
president of the Nebraska funeral di
rector's association, J, W. Armstrong

instruments, with moveable iluid flasks
and was encased in a morocco leather
binding, the interior being finished in
water proof leather and chamois skin
protectors. Tho substantial nature of

same came to him as an agreeable sur
prise. He was greatly touched with
the present and its kindly significance.
