I Items From the State Capital.
I On < - of the pieawmtesl hours wo ever
spent was at Lincoln two weeks ago ,
when W. U. Price , legal adviser of the
state auditor , and the writer played 1
billiards with "Uncle Jake" Wolfe , ,
i commissioner of public lands and I
'buildings. ' Despite his years Uncle
Jake is a good player and it kept Price s
and the editor busv to beat him.
Hon. John Shore was found at his
post , voting regularh for \V. V. Allen
for senator. Ho had been present at
every roll call except one when we saw
him. au had never nissed voting. As
ho remarked , "It's ail we can do ; just
vote , and take what the republicans
are willing to give us. " Our representative - ! j
tativo is one of the finest appearing ;
men in the hou&e , and as he has a j '
mind of his own he can bo relied upon ,
to vote always according to his con vie-1a
tionb. He voted against the resolution * ! I
to recall L'ol. btotboiiburg , of the iHrsl '
jSeura > ka , and believe he was right in
doing bo.
Gov. Poynter received the scribe
verv cordially , and chatted pleasantly
ior a few minutes. The governor is
working hard , and up to date his course
ms been such as to win the approval of
ail Compared with Uov. tiolcomb ,
Poynter is a small man physically , but
he nab brains and knows how to use
them. He is respectful to all , but
when his mouth closes suddenly it
meaus that one has said enough , ise-
'
will never need to feel
ashamed of their governor.
Auditor Cornell , Secretary of State
Porter , Treasurer Meserve and Supt.
Jackson all met the writer with a smile
and hearty hand shake , and each in
quired about friends in this section of
the state and expr3ss > ed their apprecia
tion of the .support they received from
the northwest during the last campaign.
Prof. Berkley , of Brown , .second as
sistant cler \ of the house , and N. E.
Gardner of Kin a Palm , engrossing
lerk for the senate , were found bn.-sily
engaged in their duties , and pleasantly
i raw ing a .sa hay of 3 00 per day.
These are the only apuointoos from
lm ection of ihe state , and they are a
credit to their home counties.
Representative Shore hays it will be
hard wor to pass any law affecting
the stork industry in any way. He
ho thinks it will be hard work to
amend the game Jaw.
Concerning Delinquent Tpxes
Delinquent taxes have all been carried -
ried np to the 1898 books , and they
show some very queer thing's. We
know at least two men who arc per
fectly good who have never paid a
cent of taxes to the county , their tax
running1 way back to the early 'SO's.
A careful estimate places the amount
of delinquent taxes at $80,000 , and it
is very probable that they will
amount to $100,000. If this amount
was paid into the treasury all out
standing bonds and warrants of the
county could be paid , the court house
could be built , and there would still
be a handsome surplus left. The
thought calls up visions of Utopia.
Think what a blessing it would be to
live in a. county which wai entirely
out of debt , which paid cash to its
creditors , and Avhich was constantly
increasing in taxable valuation.
How insignificent each man's taxes
would be ! What public improvements
could and would be made ! But alas ,
the tax dodger and shirker is ahravs
with us , and we will have to wait sev
eral years ere we realize the blissful
condition above set forth. We are
gratified to note , however , that our
county treasurer and commissionei s
.ire doing their best to collect these
taxes , and we hope they will succeed.

Where Sh 11 it be Built ?
Agitation in regard to the location
of the new court house is now on.
Several sites are suggested. One is
west of Smyser's liver } ' barn ; another
the old Fischei corner , opposite the
la ; another the corner east of
th piesent building : still others
favor locating the building in the
west < part of town ; a large percentage
of our people would like it on the hill
near Christensen's , and another fav
orite site is just north of the Episco
pal church. In a.ny event , it is very
probable that the site will be donated
the countno matter where the
building is located. It is thought
that the commissioners will settle
this matter at their next meeting.
