THE JACOD VALLERY, JR. IMPROVED
HALF SECTION
3 miles west of Plattsmouth on the Louisville road. This
farm will be sold very soon as I already have several
buyers figuring on the deal.
Better buy from me now at $250.00 per acre than
to let the other fellow beat you to it and then have to
pay him a bonus to get the farm.
Ii is a fact that often when a farm which lias been for sale
for a number of years is at last sold to some outsider, the neigh
bors who have always intended -to buy it "as soon as .they could
'tt around to it." now ruvh in and offer the new owner more
money than he paid for it. witli the result that the farm changes
I anrts'ono, two or possibly three times more within a short time,
t-ach rale at an increased price. ,
This, farm may go the same way. At $250.00 per acre you
can keep this farm and have one cf the bes-t farms in -the best lo
cation in Cv.sa county, or sell it in GO days at a good profit.
Don't neglect the opportunity to buy this good

TAXATION ASSESSMENTS
ON TRAIL OF RENT PROFITEER
INCOME TO BE MADE BA
SIS OF VALUATION. 1
CITY PROPERTY TO BE RAISED
Instructions Go Out from Secretary
Bross to County Assessors
Over the State.
From Saturday's Dally.
W. H. Osborne, Jr., secretary of
the state board of equalization, un-
Jder direction of Secretary of Finance
I Dross, Is sending out instruction to
all county assessors that they snail,
in fixing the value of city and town
property ascertain the amount of the
income, and take this as the basis
of valuation. In this way, IJ. is hoped
to extract from the rent profiteer
some of the excesses he" has been
taking. The instructions are as fol
lows: x
"We desire to call your attention
to the great importance of obtaining,
to . some degree of equality, an as
sessment on your city property that
will harmonize with the real estate
assessment.
"City property has advanced in
comparatively the same degree that
real property has advanced, and in
fixing the valuation of your town
lots and real estate in the corporate
limits of your cities, consideration
should be given"1 to income derived
from the property in the. way of ren
tals. "Particularly is this true of lodg
ing houses, apartment houses, dwel
ling houses and in fact business
concerns who are holding long time
leases on popular and prominent lo
cations. "Rentals have advanced material
ly in tie last four years and the at
torney general has ruled that we
have a right to consider this in de
termining and fixing the valuation
for assessment and -taxation.
"In all cases where city property
is occupied by others than the own
er every effort should be made to
secure the rental or other income
from the property, so that this in
formation can be used as one of the
items taken' into consideration by
the assessor in fixing the actual value,
of the property.
"The impracticability of the use
of comparative sale3 value of city
property compelled us to foregp the
compilation of an abstract of this
class of property as we did real es
tate, but we desire to .impreB3 up
on the assessing authorities that
the same zeal and effort should ob
tain in fixing the value of all kinds
and classes of property, to the end
that each individual, firm or corpo
ration shall be justly and equitably
assessed."
County, assessors are directed, in
another letter to get after intangi
bles. One of these is chattel mort
gage. Attention Is called to. the sec
tion of the statutes that makes it

"Whore the chattel mortgage runs
to the cashier of a banking. 'institu
tion or other concern that has been
assessed separately, you should make
inquiry as to whether or not the
mortgagees a part of the assets of
such bank or other institution, and,
if you find that the mortgage is tha
property of the individual, or that
the mortgage is the product of east
ern or private capital, you should

SGHMADER WINS
IG MATCH
Louisville Man . Pins Shoulders of
. Tom Ray, of Omaha to Mat
in Best 2 of 3 Palls.
From Saturday's Dally.
A large number of the wrestling
enthusiasts of the city gathered at
the Coates hall last evening, for the
wrestling match pcheduled between
Frank Schmader, of Louisville, one
of the best boys in the wrestling
game in this portion of the state,
and Tom Ray, of Omaha, the result
of the match being that Schmader
proved the winner by annexing two
of the three falls.
The opening fall of the match
was won by-"Hay 'in eleven minut?s,
the head scissors and arm lock be
ing the cause of the downfall of the
Louisville lad and in this fall Ray
demonstrated his fastness and skill
although, at a handicap owing to the
great strength of xthe Louisville
wrestler.
The second fall required thirty
three minutes for Frank to pin the
shoulders of Ray to the mat and. for
thi3 fall the famous toe hold wa
uced by Schmader to accomplish tha
downfall of the Omaha lad.
The third and final fall came un
expectedly at the close of eighteer
minutes of Interesting and fast mat
work as both men struggled for the
fall. Ray was resting on the back
of Schmader with a partial body
scissors and neck hold when the
Ijouisville man rose suddenly with
Ray, throwing him backwards and
as he fell Schmader turned quickly
and pinned him to"' the mat, as Ray
wjs evidently suffering from the
quick fall to the mat and the referee,
Lee Fickler, announced -that the
Louisville man was the winner as
Ray was unable to combat the ag
gressive wrestling tactics of Schma
der. In the preliminary Lee Fickler was
the winner over Harry Best of Oma
ha, pinning him down in eleven min
utes with an arm lock and. head scis
sors that forced the Omaha man to
the mat and Lee demonstrated that
he has lost none of his skill in the
wrestling game, although this is the
first match he has been in for some
time.
ANOTHER PIONEER
HAS PASSED AWAY
Mrs. Charles Kraft, of Louisville,
Dies After Lingering Illness
from a . Cancer.
From Satd' Jay's Dally.
The death of Mrs. Charles Kraft
occurred at the family home in the
east part of town on last -Monday,
March. 1st, 1920, after a lingering
illness of more than a year with can
cer. During her illness, she bore
her suffering with great patience
and never failed to express her grate
ful and kindly nature to her family
who surrounded her with the best
of medical attention and loving
care. ' ' .. .. ' . '
Mrs. Kraft was-a member of the
Evangelical Lutheran church from
childhood and ever found great com
fort and solace in her religion,
which .she lived in her every day
life. Her funeral occurred Thurs
day afternoon at two o'clock from
the church of which she was a mem
ber, her pastor, Rev. T. Hartman of
ficiating. A short service was" held
at the home before the funeral par
ty proceeded to the church, and the
remains were laid to rest in the fam
ily lot in the Lutheran cemetery.
Mrs. Kraft's maiden name was
Wilhelmina Rau. She was born in
the province of Posen, in 'Germany,
August 17, 1848. She came to Amer
ica in 1872 and in tri? same year, on
June 8th, she was married to Charles
Kraft, In Wisconsin, where they liv
ed for two years. In the fall of
1S7.4 they'came to Cass county, Ne
braska, and settled on the old home
1 place three miles south of Louisville
j Here they lived a happy and pros-
perous life, attended with - the ups
and downs of the pioneer, until the
year of 1904, when they decided to
retire from the farm, and purchased
a comfortable home in Louisville,
j where they have since resided.
Mrs. Kraft was u quiet and unas
sumiivg person of a .kinddisposition
and was greatly beloved by her fam
ily and large circle of friends.' Her
death leaves a vacancy in .the home
that never can be filled, but the mem
ory of the devoted wife and mother
will remain to cheer and bless her
family. - -
I She leaves, besides the aged hus
band, four sons and three daugh
ters. They are William, Charles,
Herman, Richard, Mrs. Henry, Vog-
i ler and Misses Martha and Idella
Kraft. Three sons preceded the
mother in death. She also leaves a
half brother, Rudolph Rau, - of At
chison, Kansas, and one half broth
er and two sisters in Germany. Her
only brother and sister died in this
country many years ago, sOj that sho
has no other near relatives in this
country. At the time of her death,
she was 71 years, G months and 14
days old. Louisville Courier.
TO ASSESS RAIL
ROAD TERMINALS
Return of Roads to Private Owner
ship Sufficient to Return Them
to Tax-Paying Status.
If the state board of equalization
fias its way about it the state will
once more take on the task of as
sessing the terminals of the various
railroads of Nebraska for the pur
poses of taxation. Last year the gov
ernment was running the railroads,
and it made the state keep its hands
off. Instructions are now going out
to county assessors to include these
valuations even where they are not
returned and the state board will de
cide the matter later. The letter to
lstessors reads:
"Laft year we were not permitted
o assess the material and supplies
'f the railroad companies in connec
tion with the terminal assessment,
owing to the fact that "the govern
ment took the position that all such
material and supplies that were on
hand at that time, were purchased by
the United States government, and
therefore was not assessable. .
"We are unable to state definite
ly at this time just what the atti
tude of the state board will be re
girding this year's assessment of
this class cf property, but it occurs
to us that, inasmuch as the several
oads have been turned back to their
individual owners, the government
will debit the companies books with
l like amount that they were credit
ed with at the time that they were
taken over, and therefore we have
the right to such assessment.
"At any rate this matter will bo
up for' consideration before the state
board and we suggest that where the
companies fail to include this prop
arty in their return te you fir ter
minal tax assessment, that you carry
out an "assessment on such property
nd return it to this department in
