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

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

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.
