Dan Barnes writes Again on County
. Division.
Lake , proposed Lake County ,
.Nebraska , Oct. 31 , 1911. The
county divisionists tell us that
the reason the county i.s paying
the limit in taxes , is that the coun
ty is so large. Well , let us see if
that is the only reason. From the
time the county was organized up
until 1895 the assessed valuation
being taxed to its limit would pay
only 75 cents on the dollar on the
warrants , and in 1895 we built a
court house that cost several thou
sand dollars which put us farther
down into the gutter ; then for a
few years we could only pay 05
cents on the dollar on our war
rants. We then began to gain a
little ; why did we gain ? Because
we were getting more assessable
property , in the county. In 1902
we were ready to pay our obliga
tions as they came due one hun
dred cents on the dollar. Another
thing which kept Cherry county
behind in the early days was the
lack of funds to pay adequate sal
aries to our officers so we could
obtain competent officials ; the re
sult was , we had defaulters , and
that will be our doom if Cherry
county is divided as proposed. Ir
is an evident fact if we are unable
to pay adequate salaries we cannot
expect to secure competent offi
cials.
cials.The
The divisionists toll us we are
not getting any funds to put into
public improvements. Now don't
strike a bHnd horsq in the face be
cause he is unable .to see ; come out
and tell us why we don't get any
funds for public improvement.
Is it because the business men of
Valentine object to it ; if so we
will all know who they are ; or is
it our commissioners ; or simply
%
because you have not interest enough -
nough in the welfare of your
towns and communities ? When I
come to those sand pitches south of
Cody just outside the incorpora
tion , it looks to me like the latter.
They tell us if we had the county
divided in smaller counties , with
the county seat at the extreme
north side of the county , that the
people would be more law abiding.
That may be all right in Cherry
county but I have noticed there
are crimes committed in small
counties , towns and cities where
the officials are close at hand las
well as in Cherry county. They
also say if we could save the extra
milage in one or two trials that it
*
would run the counties. Don't
that sound good ? It's too much
like buying one dollar horses too
cheap to be good. It was estima
ted that it would cost § 50,000 to
run Cherry county for the year of
1911.
The proposed Lake county has
about one sixth of the assessed val
uation of Cherry county which in
round numbers Lake county would
be entitled to about § 8,000. Now
how are we going to spend sucli a
large sum of money ? In the first
place we will have to pay interest
on a court house bonds of about
$500 a year. There are twelve offi
cers to be paid out of tii3 re/ruin /
ing § 7,500 and if equally prorated
ted it would be about § 625 each ,
that leaves nothing for other ex
penses. If this great murder case !
and the Goforth case which have
all occured in the proposed Lake
county , that has cost Cherry coun-
$20,000 and would have cost more
if they bad had a trial as the pub
lic wanted them to have , what
could we have done with these
murderers ? There is just one
thing we could have done , that
would have been , tell them we
didn't have county funds enough
to prosecute them , so , "Go back
fellows , and when you get another
ftfr -maa tuko him outto , &

telephone pole and hang him. "
Here it is in a nut shell ; if Cody
and Merriman can get twenty-four
townships annexed to Hooker , and
Grant counties before a railroad
comes through the center'of Cher
ry county they will be all right.
They know if they don't get twen
ty-four townships off. on Hooker
and Grant before a railroad 'does
come through , and the county is
divided"the county seatwill , goon
the new road because it would be
nearer the center of the county.
They are also aware if they had
went across Cherry county , with
their proposed Lake and Green
counties there would be enough
votes cast in the southern part to
put the county seat in the center
whore it should be placed.
Now voters let us all turn out to
election November the 7th. This
is the most important election that
has ever bren called in Cherry
county on account of this county
division issue. If we all turn out
and vote our sentiments we will
not have any fault'to find in the
future. I am now , as I was in
last week's issue , for Big Cherry
as it is.

FREE IF IT FAILS
Your Money Back if You are not Satisfied
with the Medicine We Recommend
We are so positive that our rem
edy will permanently relieve con
stipation , no matter how chronic
it may be , that we offer to furnish
the medicine at our expense should
it fail to produce satisfactory re
sults.
It is worse than useless to at
tempt to cure constipation
with cathartic drugs. Laxatives
or cathartics do much harm.
They cause a reaction , irritate ,
and weaken the bowels and tend
to make constipation more chronic.
Besides , their use becomes a habit
that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a
weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the large intestine or de
scending colon. To expect per
manent relief you must therefore
tone up and strengthen these or
gans and restore them to healthier
activity.
We want you to try'Rexall Or
derlies on our recommendation.
They are exceedingly pleasant to
take , being eaten like candy , and
are ideal for children , delicate
persons , arid old folks , as well as
for the robust. They act directly
on the nerves and muscles of the
bowels. They apparently have a
neutral action on other associate
organs or glands. They do not
purge , cause excessive looseness ,
nor create any inconvenience
whatever. They may be taken
at any time , day or night. They
will positively relieve chronic or
habitual constipation , if not a sur
gical variety , and the myriads of
associate or dependent chronic ail
ments , if taken with regularity
for a reasonale length of time. 12
