ig Demonstration!
I ONE WEEK=MAY 13-18
We heartily invite our friends to call any day during the above
mentioned week and we will demonstrate the superior qualities of
the New Majestic Malleable and Charcoal Iron Ranges.
i he Majestic Malleable and steel range, as formerly turned out by the Majestic people, has been con
sidered throughout the country as par excellence, and far ahead of any other range made. But with the
flew charcoal iron body in place of feteel, making it double its value, and the fact that it is the only
range in existance made of Malleable and Charcoal Iron, you can readdy see that if quality is considered
the Majestic leads by a big margin. We want you to call during at our store during this week and let
us explain this new feature—charcoal and iron bodies; let us explain why it is the best material for
range bodies, and incidentally why it is not used on other ranges. We want you to call if you intend to
buy or not, as the information gained will serve you in the future.
Come any day during this week and have buttered
Hot Coffee and Biscuit Free h >t biscuits and hot coffee. Biscuits baked on a I
Majestic in three minutes while you wait.
With every range sold during this demonstration
Handsome Set of Ware Free we will give absolutely free one set of Majestic I
mmm_m ware worth every cent of $7.50. This ware will
be on exhibition at our store. Everything, useful,
ornamental and durable. Come in and see it and you will agree with us that it can not be bought for
a cent less than $7.50, and it is cheap at that.

Come in any day. You are welcome whether you
intend to buy or not.

stupid to ever call on you again.
Here it is—take any numder between

MR. HOVEY’S REPORT.
What the Expert’s Found in Check
ing Treasurer’s Office.
O’Neill, Neb., May 7,1907.
To the Honorable Board of Supervis
ors of Holt county, Nebraska:
Gentlemen: In compliance with
the contract entered into January 25,
1907,1 have made a complete examin
ation of all the records of your county
treasury from January 4,1895, to Jan
uary 8,1907, (both inclusive) and sub
mit herewith a report of my findings
in the same.
The work done includes the check
ing of every receipt issued, to the
“cash look” or other record of first
entry; the additions of the columns;
the distribution to the different funds
receiving the same; the posting of
these items to the collection and dis
bursement record; and, finally, from
this record tothe“Treasurer’s General
Ledger.” In this “General Ledger”
all receipts are credited to the funds,
and all disbursements charged to
them. Treasurer’s statements and
final settlements are made from the
halnn/inc oh/wnn in 4V\ln 14 nnn»n 1 T n/1
ger,” and such statements and settle
ments have been carefully examined.
In brief, every dollar has been traced
from the stub, or duplicate of receipt
issued, to the account of final entry,
and all charges made against such
fund have been verified: the additions
of credits and charges proven, and al1
balances checked.
I find only small amounts of actual
money involved in the errors that
have peen made, as the cash accounts
are kept in the “General Ledger,”
and these are correct in the main.
Accompaning this report are balance
sheets showing the condition of the
treasury at the close of the term of
each treasurer, and the amount turn
ed to his successor; and the funds to
which it belonged. These balance
sheets show the figures left by the
county treasurers and a list of “errors
and corrections” also attached of the
errors found.
The report also includes balance
sheets showing the amount of money
in each fund of the thirty.three town
ships in the county, together with
statements indicating the amount in
each school district fund in ihe county;
the “Apportionment Fund,” “District
Fund,” “Bond Fund,” and “Special
Fund,” are all shown separately.
These school district balances are the
ones left by the treasurers; and a
lengthy list of corrections to be made
in the various sub-accounts of the
(Continued on last page.)
