Signed by Holcomb & Feyerhern

Upon motion the petition of Frank
E. Patterson, for a refund of taxes,
was denied.
Upon motion the prayer of the peti
tion of Albert Eriksen for annulling
of personal tax assessed in Holt coun

To the Honorable Board of Super
visors of Holt county, Nebraska.
Petition for refund of taxes erron
eously collected by county treasurer
on tax sale.
Your petitioner respectfully repre
sents unto your honorable body that
on the 11th day of November, 1905,
the county treasurer of Holt county
sold to P. II. Nalty the following des
cribed real estats, to-wit:
The east half of the east half, of
section fourteen, in township thirty
two, north of range fourteen, west of
the sixth principal meridian, at the
regular Scavenger tax sale and that
the said P. H. Nalty paid the pur
chase price of said tract of land for
the years 1903 and 1904 and thereafter
said purchaser paid taxes for the year
on said land as subsequent tax on said
sale, said tax being paid op the 9th
day of May, 1900, and ther&fter said
purchaser paid as subsequent tax of
the year 1906 on said land, said pay
ment being made on the 25th day of
May, 1907. That on or about the 9th
day of May, 1908, when your petition
er, being the assignee of said tax sale
and subsequent taxe; paid thereunder,
went to pay the tax for the year 1907,
which he paid in the sum of *5.32
upon said land as subsequent taxes
under said sale, he discovered that
said tract of land was not taxable, the
same being government land, and
that said land was unoccupied and
unentered government land at the
time it was sold at tax sale, no final
receiptor patents ever having been
issued upon said land down to the
present time and said land not being
subject to taxation at the time it was
sold or at the time said taxes were
levied thereon nor down to the pre
sent time.
Your petitioner says that there is
due him by reason of the payments
made for said tax sale and subsequent
taxes and legal interest theron the
sum of twenty-nine and 70-100 dollars,
and he prays your honorable body to
make an order upon the county treas
urer of this county to refund to your
petitioner said sum of twenty-nine
and 70-100 dollars (*29.70.)

that he paid taxes for the year 1903
on the NEi of NWf of sec. 12, twp.
33-14. That said land was sold for the

deemed by me this 19th day of June,
1908. I ask for a refund of the amount
$1.38 of tax erroneously collected
twice. C. H. Dailey.
Upon motion the prayer of petition

And that he is now advised by the

Buys California Bonds.
Fremont Tribune: State Treasurer
Brian lias returned from Sacramento,
where he bought $500,000 of California
state bonds, bearing 4 per cent inter
est at par. lie has arranged for the
shipment of the bonds and they are
expected to arrive in Lincoln at any
time. He is not much impressed with
the California statute, as interpreted
by the attorney general of that state,
that only certain kinds of government
bank notes and gold are legal tender
at the California state treasury. This
statute caused Mr. Brian to send
actual currency in payment of I lie
bonds instead of bank exchange.
The bonds run for sixteen years,
optional after six years. There is
much of chance about the exact date
the bonds will mature because under
the arrangement provided by the
California oflicers the bonds taken up
after the six-year period are chosen by
lot. Numbers corresponding to num
bers on the outstanding bonds of the
state will be placed in a box and drawn
out and the numbers lirst drawn will
be paid in the order of the drawing.
There is a good chance for the state of
Nebraska to hold a considerable part
of the $500,000 investment for sixteen
years under this plar\.
Engineers at Work.
Sioux City Journal, July 21:
Engineers of the Burlington railroad
working between O’Neill, Neb., and
Thedford and Dunning, on the main
line to Billings Mont., have practically
completed surveys for the proposed ex
tension of the old Sioux City Short
Line, now a part of the Burlington
system, to the Burlington line into
Colorado, Wyoming and the far north
west.
This activity of the engineering de
partment, taken in connection with
the work of of the construction depart
ment in rebuilding the line between
Sioux City and O’Neill, lends strength
to the reports recieved by Sioux City
buisness men that with the first re
turn of railroad building this extension
westward from O’Neill will be con
structed.

AN OLD TIME BREAKFAST.
iVhat One Vieitor Was Treated to at
Washington’s Home.
The diary of Manasse Cutler, the
founder of Ohio and the author of the
ordinance of 17S7, gives an account of
a visit he made to Mount Vernon
two years after General Washington's
death. We say “General” Washing
ton, for that was what Mrs. Washing
ton was pleased to call him—a copy for
all those good women whose husbands
have won them honor on the held of
war.
Mr. Cutler says It was the desire of
their party to arrive at Mount Vernon
in time for breakfast (7 o’clock) with
Mrs. Washington, but the bad roads
and worse horses detained them, so
they did not reach there until about
10, which Mrs. Washington regretted,
but she said, “Breakfast would lie
ready in n few minutes.” The diary
goes on to say:
“In a short time she arose and desired
us to walk into another room, where n
table was elegantly spread with ham.
cold corned beef, cold fowl, red her
ring and cold mutton, the dishes orna
mented with sprigs of parsley and
other vegetables from the garden. At
the head of the table was the tea and
coffee equipage, where she seated her
self and sent the tea and coffee to the
company.”
The point of interest is that break
fast menu—ffve kinds of meat decked
with sprigs of parsley and accompa
nied with divers vegetables. isn’t
there an appetizing array and doesn’t
the heart long for just such a scene?
Of course tlie mere feeders, the fel
lows that hanker for hot things, may
not think so, but the very mention of
cold ham, cold chicken, cold mutton
and cold corned beef all in the same
breath is an appeal to a conscientious
appetite that is unresisting. And that
was a breakfast of the long ago.
Most generous providers these well
to do people in the early days! How
good everything must have tasted!
That roast chicken and roast mutton
and that—great tender clean chunks of
it, that he would not dare say which
was best, for each was best. Compnre
it with our latter day breakfasts—a
roll and an egg and a cup of coffee!
Of course we like our way, but that
is possibly because these are degen
erate days.—Ohio State Journal.
Imposing.
"The Swelltons seem to keep up an
Imposing establishment,” remarked the
canned goods drummer.
“You bet they do,” replied the gro
eeryman, with a sigh long drawn out,
“and I'm one of the fellows they im
pose- on.”—Chicago News.
