While at Cliadron having his eyes
treated J. V. Scott was exposed to the
measles, and lie and his children have
been passing through a siege of that dis
ease. At last reports they were getting
along all right. That family is certainly
having its full share of trouble.
The board of directors of the Bunk
of Harrison at a meeting on the 16th
Inst, elected John A. Lucas, of Wisner,
Neb., president; C. E. Holmes, vice
president, and Chas. E. Verity, cashier.
Mr. Holmes will now give his attention
almost exclusively to his law practice.
A number of farmers are banding
together for the purpose of getting a
large number of sheep into the county
in the near future. The more the sheep
industry is investigated the more promis
ing it appears for this part of the coun
try. We hope it will not be long until
many thousands of the woolly coats will
seen on the farms of Sioux county.
On Tuesday a good deal of snow fell
but it melted almost as fast as it came
down. In the valley it was a mixture of
show and rain and fell during the greater
part of the day, and south of town a few
miles but little snow and no rain fell.
There still remains a good deal of the old
snow on the ground, but in has settled
to quite an extent this week.
Yesterday A. F. Brugh, the expert
accountant, arrived from Fremont and is
at work at the investigation of the coun
ty records. Mr. Brugh comes highly
recommended. lie was for four years
county clerk of Dodge county, where he
has lived for more than a quar
ter of a cehtury. He recently com
pleted an investigation of the records of
Stanton c'ounty. It will not be long un
til the people will have an opportunity
to know just how the a Hairs of the
county have been run from the organiza
tion of the county to the date the work
is completed.

The agitation of the artesian well
project is having the effect of getting
people to thinking of the matter. H. T.
Zerbe was in town yesterday and in
speaking of the matter said that he
would ajrree to put a well down, on his
place as a test well on the following con
ditions: He will pay for the first 300
feet, if enough can he raised to pay for
500 feet more if it be necessary to go so
deep, and if artesian water be obtained
at a depth of 800 feet or less Mr. Zerbe
agrees to pay the entire cost. He fur
ther stated that any one will make a
better proposition he will contribute
toward tlie amount necessary to be
raised, as he Is anxious to see a test well
put down. It is now in order for men to
get their binds to work and figure out
proposition and submit it. There
nothing that is of more importance to
the people of Sioujt coiinty than that of
artesian wells and the sooner a riiove is
made the better. All propositions
should be left with Judge Barker.

for
Assessors' Meeting.
Pursuant to the law the assessors of
Sioux county held their annual meeting
at the office of the county clerk. All
but four precincts were represented and
had the day not been stormy and the
roads very bad it probable that all would
have been on hand. It is said by those
in a position to know that it was the best
meeting of the kind ever held in the
county. The action of the meeting was
recorded and is on file in the office of the
county clerk.
The following is a list of those present
and the precincts they represent: E. E.
Livermore, Bowen; O. J. Gowey, Lower
Running Water; Oeo. W. Cobb, Ante
lope; S. W. Hall, Bodurc; Charles Palm-
Snake Creek; I. 8. Mcintosh, White
River; D. A- Publow, Cottonwood; J. H.
Cook, Running Water; John H. Tuck
er, Andrews; Phillip McCann, Hat
Creek.
O. J. Gowey was elected chairman.
A committee consisting of J. H. Cook,
Geo. W. Cobb and E. E. Livermore was
apKinted to arrange a scale of valua
tion and instructed to divide stock into
1st, 2d and 3d classes. The second class'
represents the general average of stock
and 1st class is above that and third
lass the scrubs.
The question of assessing improve
ments on government land came up and
ounty Attorney Conley was asked to
inform the meeting whether or not such
improvements Were to be assessed. Mr.
Conley stated that in his opinion they
were to be assessed and backed up his
opinion by law, but nothwithstamiing
that, a majority voted not to assess such
property. It was also decided not to
assess improvements on sctiooi lanus.
In order to settle the matter County At
torney Conley will apply to the district
court for a writ of mandamus compeling
the assessment of improvements on gov
ernment and school lands. It was also
decided to assess homesteads in cases
where five years had expired sinces ac
tual residence was established although
the occupant has not yet made final
proof. The assessors will each be fur
nished with a printed copy of the action
taken so that a uniform basis of valua
tion may be had in all the precincts.
The meeting was a good one. It was
not a one-man meeting, but every as
sessor took an'actlve part "In the work,
and none hesitated to express their views
on the subjects discused. The decision
on the assessment of improvements on
government and school lands will, with
out doubt, be received before the asssess
ors begin work.
