ADMISSION FREE How does Roosevelt and Fairbanks strike you ? While the new revenue and the assessor is so much in evidence it seems an.oportune time for discuss ing the subject of fair and equitable taxations. In Germany they have a revenue law which provides that a property owner must accept ten per cent more from a purchaser for his property than the amount at w hich he gives it in to the assessor. That makes the tax payer more than will ing to put a fair valuation on his property; otherwise he may lose it by some one buying it at much less than its real value. This seems to the writer to be an exelient and just plan of raising revenue.— Mason City. Star. Here is farmer’s receipt for rid ding the premises of rats and mice. !f you sprinkle sulphur on the barn floor and -through your corn as you gather it there will not be a rat or mouse to bother. I have some old corn in a crib and not a rat or a mouse can be found. In stacking hay and oats sprinkle a little on the ground and through each load, and take my word for it, rats and mice can’t stay there. A pound of sul phur will be snfficieut to preserve a large crib of corn and it is good for stock and will not hurt the corn for bread. Schuyler 9, Loup City 2. The local ball team met defeat at the hands of the Schuyler aggregation last Thursday on the Loup City diamond. Owing to the raiDS, the diamond was in poor shape tor good ball, yet the game was brilliant from start to finish. Only in field work did the visitors outclass the home team, which was the main reason for the unevenness of the score 9 to 2. Emory Knight and Albert Johnson demonstrated that they have few amateur equals in the state, since the ratio of fans was 13 to 2 in favor of the Lonp City battery. The Schuyler boys are loud in their praises of the hospitable treatment they receive*! from the lovers of the game in this city and are a unit in their esteem of Um pire Mellor, Clear Creek Chat Burkner’s house is completed.

The annual school meeting of this district convened at the school house on Monday afternoon of this week at 2 o’clock, with S. N. Sweetland acting as moderator and j. S. Pedler director. On motion it was ordered that the 11th and 12th grades be added to our school. A cement sidewalk was ordered to run along the east, south and one-half wav on the west of the school house block. The auditing committee appointed were E. A. Draper, E. G. Taylor and W.R.Mellor, and J.W.Long, D.C. Leach and It. J. Nightingale were appointed as ajcoramittee to recommend a levy. The auditing committee reported the treasurer’s books and vonchers correct and that the amount of cash on hand corresponded with the amount reported by the director. The committee on levy recommended that 20 mills be levied lor general pur poses and 2 mills for bond. Some of the patrons of the district urged the cleaning of certain portions of the school house and the re-seating of the grammar room, which was or dered done. The election of trustees for the ensu ing three years resulted as follows. J. P. Leininger.43 S. N. Sweetland.33 D. P. Leach.25 A. B. Outhouse.22 The first two were declared elected. Nine months of school the comihg year was ordered. A Well Ordered Institution. Ed. Northwestern: Being on busi ness at the institution tor feeble minded at Beatrice, last week, I took the op portunity to see how it was run, hav ing read a great deal about the manage ment of four years ago—or as you may call “mismanagement” at that time. The institution is now’ under the man agement of Dr. A. Johnston, who un derstands the business and attends to it. I found the strictest discipline and best of training in all the departments. He has the best of assistants you may find in any institution. The physician, Dr. F. K. Osborn, in whom all have confidence, is a very pleasant gentleman and has strictly up to-date methods. Mrs. Armstrong, principal of the school department, is the proper person for that place She guided me through all the rooms during school hours, and I can say the managemedtis something we all may be proud of If you go to the State Fair, seethe exhibit from this institution. They have a brush factory, their own electric light plant and a brass hand of fourteen pieces, which is about as good as any you may find. They haye dances where every teacher has to dance w ith the inm ates, which duty is a part of their contract. They have an adminis tration building occupied by tlu* offi cers and employes, some thirty-five |in number The first floor of this is used as a dining room for the inmates, some 335 tn number There are twTo build ings for the boys, one for the girls and one for a hospital. There is a farm of 222 acres, under finest cultivation. The institution has the milk from 20 to 25 cows. It will pay any one to visit this excellently managed institution at Beatrice. Jacob Albers. Bad Blood Boiling. Ashton had another lawsuit on its haDds last Thursday. It seems that Robert Watke arrived in town on Wednesday evening and was followed from place to place, threatened and abused and ordered out of town by certain parties. Fi nally he went out to sleep at Bert Leukazewski’s. About midnight the parties came with a warrant, arrest ed Watke and put him in the vil lage jail and kept him there till morning. In the trial R. P. Starr represented Mr. Nick Kosmicki, one of the parties who had threatened Mr. Watke, while H. M. Mathew looked after his side of the case. The case was compromised, Mr. Kosmicki paying the costs and other consideration. We have since heard that Watke has caused tbe ar rest of Kosmicki in Judge Ahgier’s court. There seems to be plenty of bad blood running riot in and arqpnd our lovely little sister town. ■ -. * A Stabbing Affray. Sunday night, the 19th, John.Goc the valliatit constable of Ashton township, assisted by a posse, went out several miles north of Ashton ar.d after the exercise of consider able strategy, captured one of the Sonnerifeldboys, on charge of stab bing with intent to kill a citizen, named Vincent, of Howard county. The doctor, who examined the in juries of the wounded man, says that if one of the cuts had been a half inch higher, it would have been fatal. We are informed that the wounded man’s arm hangs limply at his side siuce he received the stabs in bis shoulder and back. Oounty Attorney J.S. Pedler was summoned before tbe justice court.of Mr. John F.Smitb to prosecute for the offense. We understand the defendant was fined $50 and costs, som $80 in all.
