" 'rhose were the last words she uttered. li'rom there she was carricd to the Globe Hotel and medical assistance - ance was called but she never regained - gained consciousness.

Instructions 10 Deputy lounly Aueuora. County Assessor 'Haumont has dccided to have no meeting of deput.r assessors this year but will provide each with such in- slru tions from time to time as he deems necessary to secure as near possible an equitable as. sessment of all property. The following is a copy' of the first letter of instructions mailed to his deputies : ro Deputy Assessors Custer Co : Please pay strict attention to the following instructions , so that our work may be'dQne in an acceptable manner. Write in I'ood : ; plain characters and be sure to have all names spelled cor- rectly. Give post office address. Where women are assessed writc their first names in full and make out a seperate schedule for the husband's 1'011 tax , c\'en if he has no property assessed in his name. Where you have incorporated viltiages in your precinct , mark plainly the names of all those liable to village or city tax. Be sure to have the number of the road and school districts right. Mistakes in that particular cause much annoyance. Always put the nlue of the different itcms , so that if you divide it by live you have no cents in your quotient. On small items you may hav to add to the value of somc , and deduct from the value of others. Where anyone has cr dits which he can off-set by debits , he must use the special credit blanle , enter his credits thereon , also his debits. Then' subtract the debits from the I credits and enter the balance , if I anv , at the proper place on the : scl edule , pin the blank to the : schedule and l < eep the two to- : getber. 'l'he actual value of : notes , bonds or mortgages. repre- 1 , senting moneys loaned or invested - ed , shall not be rednced or diminished - ished by subtracting therefrom the debts owing by the person assessed who owns such notes , bonds or mortgages. Credits eyidencccl hy book accounts and the like. may be off.set by debts of like character only. I ent due is taxeable as a cred'it. Rent to grow due is a part of the land residC'nt to it and therefore is not subject to taxation. I-list also as credits , claims due from the county. J-Iast year a good por. tion of the money in the county was not accounted for. r want to gct better results this year anl ha\'c reason to blame some of the deputies for not obtaining better results along that line. Common honesty should prompt e\'eryone tollist a11 of his proper' ty and he who does not do it , < tc. I , servcs the punishmcnt the law provides. Assess { at cattle and hogs by the pOl1nd and kc p in some little book a record of the number and weights of the different - ent bunches uf fat cattle assessed in your precinr.t. l'his is very important and helps. in equal- iin . That record should be. . returned to me. Also thark on. . the schedule the number of fat i cattle included in the whole - ' ' num-'I' bcr of rattle listed by anyone person. gvery telephone Company - pany should mal < e return of its gross receipts. Stock held in co.operati ve telephonc companies should not be assessed when the value of the line covers the wholc value of the stock. Apportion the value of the ' etephone lines of your precienct between the differ- nt school and road districts through which they run. Where people each own a cer ain part of a telephone line , assess that to them individuall ' , l'he average value of a telephone imtrument is about $10.00. List all telephone property under No. 22 on schedule. Assess everything - thing for what it will bring on the farm for cash under a fair valuation , as Roosevelt says , "a square deal according to law. As. the assessmcnt must be un.i- for l all over tht county. I will S OIl send you directions as to the average value of diiTerent classcs of property. The value of new improvements , made since last years' assessment must be listed by the asseSSJrs and they must Jrive the number of section or part of section on which such improvements were made. Also do 110t forget the farm statistics , and get them correct. It will help our county. J UI.HS HA U l\1 ON ' 1' , County Assessor. I i Boy. and Girl. Contes" It is hoped that a large number of the wide. awake boys and girls of Custer County wilt take part in the State Contests that arc being - ing conducted by Mr. E. C.

We quote from The Nebraska li'arm- er , of March 1st. , the following statements : "The plans for the next state contest , so far as perfected , are as follows : "The contest will be held in December,190 ( , . It will include the following , departmen t-s : FOn. 110\'S 1 orn growing. 2 Wheat growilg. ! 3 Sugar beet growing. 4 Potato growing. 5 Manual training-making of articles useful or ornamental for the home. lION GIHI.S 1 Coo ing of corn products. 2 Cool < ng of white and brown bread. 3 Preserving of fruits and veg- est abIes. 4 Needle worJiacluding plain sewing , embroidery , crocheting - cheting and fancy work. 5 House ornaments. 6 Sugar beet growing. , 7 Potato growing.
