supreme court. In 1871, while still
a member of the supreme court, he

seventeen years. After leaving the

a Very Pleasant Trip and
Some Buy Land.
John Crabiil and wife returned last
evening via Pacific Junction from a
ten days visit In the sunuy south,
where Mr. Crabiil inspected bis real
estate investments and observed the
growth of crops. Mr. and Mrs. Cra
biil were much pleased with their
trip, having gone as far south as
there Is any country belonging to
Uncle Sam connected with the main
land. The party consisted of W. K.
Rosencrans chaperon. Besides Mr. and
Mrs. Crabiil, were County Treasurer
Frank Schlater and County Commis
sioner Jordan. The party got so far
south that at noon when looking for
a shadow they could find none as
they were standing on the same. They
saw century plants In bloom and
many other wonderful things in na
ture. The party was Impressed with
the broad acres of Charley Taft, a
brother of the president, and saw
23,000 acres of cotton belorlglng to
the president's brother. He Is said
to own 300,000 acres of land In Neu-
ces county, Texas. The planters are
Just beginning to harvest the cotton
crop, the party having seen the staple
ginned and bailed.
The crop this year is good, though
there were some Indications of lack
of moisture, yet cotton is not a wet
weather crop, but does better where
the weather Is dry. Mr. and Mrs.
Crabiil saw oranges on the trees, and
the crop does well there. One man
was setting out a C40 acre orchard
to orange trees, and the gloves were
numerous.
Mr. Jordan was so favorably im
pressed that he bought a tract of the
Texas land. Each of the other mem
bers of the party already possessed
lands In that locality. The trip was
as much for pleasure as anything else,
and the party went bathing In the
gulf, the water of which they found
This year, with four counties miss
ing from the report to the state board
cf equalization, the one-fifth value is
$.'.,r,36,83 . With the missing four
counties returned at the same rate as
last year the total would be $3,803,
897 for 1910, on the first of April.
The full actual value on that amount
would be .$29,029,485. This is $1,
234,330 more than the amount re-
fumed last year.
The amount of money returned for
taxation April I this year was approx
imately $29,000,000, full value.
The amount of money on deposit
In state banks, not Including the
amount due other banks, on May 11,
1910, was $73,311,737. From this
amount there Is to be deducted the
state, ounty, municipal and school
district deposits. This amount Is un
known, but the state rarely has on
deposit over half a million dollars.
It Is not believed the deduction for
money on which taxes are not paid
will exceed $3,000,000. Estimating
the amount of deposits in state banks
that are taxable and adding $87,000,
000 of Individual deposits In national
banks March 29, 1910, makes a total
of $137,000,000 of money deposited
in state and national banks about
April 1, 1910, when money is listed
for taxation. This shows that a little
over one-fifth of the money which
Nebraska confess they own Tras list
ed for taxation April 1. Cass county's
money was listed in the amount at
$132,146 in 1909, and in 1910 at
$112,663, a decrease of $20,000 In
one year.

The good people of this city were
called from their beds at the unseen

Kchreechcs of the fire whistle. A

southeast corner of the Fifth ward,

Its value.
The bun.lnp f tructure made quite
a lurid reflation epnlnst the clouds
which hung In the southeast, and for

condition of the atmosphere rendered
the danger all the more apparent.
