A repre sentative of the telephone , tele graph and express companies at empted to convince the state board > f assessment and equalization that 'local" assessor , as used In the rov- muo law , means the county assess' nent olllcer and not the precinct worker. In behalf of the corpora tions It was set forth at great length that an dullest ) amount of work would bo necessary If each deputy should bo called upon to assess all the corporation property found In his Ustrlct , and solely out of consldera- .Ion for the hard-worked tax search ers the companies would like to do imslness directly with the county as sessor. The board was of the opinion that cor | > oratlons , llko Individuals , must obey the law as It Is written , that It would not bo stretched or shrunken in Inch to accommodate anyone , that the words "local assessor" are good English words with but ono meaning and that the. companies must too the mark and do business as the law re quires. In addition to the returns made by the deputy assessors , the board will bo guided somewhat by the complete pioporty statement which It has rul ed must be furnished upon demand by all corporations. A similar list will bo filed with the county assessor to bo used In checking up the work of hla deputies.

State Engineer Admi Dobsou wish es to warn all farmers In the Irriga tion districts to get as much water as possible on their land early this spring , as the Indications are that there will be a shortage during the summer months when the moisture usually is applied. Mr. Dobson has boon unusually ac tive during the last month looking up conditions and finds that In the hills of Colorado , the source of all the streams which furnish water for Nebraska farmers , there Is the light est snowfall known since the country was settled. In ono district where It wag not unusual to find eight or tea foot of snow but eight Inchon have fallen during the winter. Mr. Dobson states that such a condition can have but one effect ; there Is to bo a drouth so far as Irrigation districts are con cerned , Rains In the spring , no matter - tor how heavy or how frequent will not materially alter the situation as the rain water quickly runs off. It is the great plies of mountain snow gradually molting during the very liottest summer months which keeps the water supply steady when it is most In demand. "Got all you can while it lasts , and begin as soon as possible , " is Mr. Dobsou's advice. WOMAN SUICIDESJiEAR STANTON Mrs. J. C. Esweln Takes Her Own Life by Hanging.

Mrs. M. A. Thompson of Fair fax Has Valuable Collection. QIVE8 DONNET TO STEAMSHIP Headdress Once Worn by Chief Milk Will Adorn the Great Northern's Steamship "Dakota" Many Other Interesting Curiosities. [ Krom HnUmluy'H Dally.1 A reporter for the Advertiser ono day last week bail the pleasure of looking over Mrs. May A. Thomp son's Indian collection at her homo In Fairfax. Thin colopllon Is one of the moHt rnro mid complete now on exhibit Ion In South Dakota and rep- roHonUi hundicds of dollars. The collection consists of several hundred ) loros , many of thorn being very old nnd valuable relics of the Sioux tribe. Perhaps ono of the most Important > f these Is an old medicine chain , be ng ono of the only two ever owned by the Ponca Sioux. Another vain nblo pleco with a history Is an old buckskin scalp Hhlrt attached to which are 110 scalp locks. Still an > tmr ! Is nn old pistol said to have been taken by Chief Ilaln-In-Tlio-Face from the Custor battle Hold. Then there Is the handsome bead work , war bonnets and feather dance bustles , battle axes nnd other crude Implements of warfare , Indian made saddles , caps , moccasslns , medicine man's holy stick , plpo bags , pnppooso cases , ghost dunce rattle , blankets and many other antique and valuable Indian relics. To enumerate all those articles would take up this whole page and then leave the reader somewhat In the dark. The only satisfactory ex planation as to the history and val ue of those many relics can be given by Mrs. Thompson herself , who Is al ways glad to show her collection to visitors. A few weeks ago Mrs. Thompson , In behalf of her homo town , Fairfax , sent to Jas. .1. Hill , president of the Great Northern Hallway company , a very valuable Indian war bonnet for the steamship "Dakota. " In response Mrs. Thompson has received the fol lowing letter : "President's Olllce , Great Northern Hallway Company. St. Paul , Minn. Fob. 20. 1901. Mrs. Mary A. Thomp son , Fairfax , South Dakota , Dear Madam : Your letter of the seven teenth , nlno the Indian bonnet , whtcl you sent for the steamship "Dakota,1 received this morning and , on bchal of the Steamship company , I wish to thank you for the bonnet , which Is certainly a perfect one. ' - ' Yours truly , .las. J. Hill , President. This war bonnet was once the property of Chief Milk of the Ponca tribe of Sioux Indians , who was atone ono tlmo a government scout. Chief Milk died last summer and the bonnet came Into possession of Bull Dog , a brother-in-law of the chief. Through the assistance of Cane Milk , son of the old chief , Mrs. Thompson finally persuaded Bull Dog to part with the bonnet at a good figure nnd Mrs. Thompson conceived tlio Idea that It ivoitld bo a good advertisement for 'all-fax as well as for her collection o present this valuable pleco to the steamship company for the steamship Dakota. " The long feather or chief's feather , extending to the top signifies "The lead of the Tribe ; " the tips on the ends of the feathers denotes "All Jnomies Overcome. " Mrs. Thompson has never had her entire collection of Indian goods on exhibition , but has had ixirtlons of It : in display at the Central South Da kota fair at Huron , state fair at Yankton and Mitchell corn palace. Some of the nicest pieces wore also to have been used in the decoration of the South Dakota headquarters at the Hotel Vendome in Boston during the meeting of the National Editorial association , but were delayed In tran sit and failed to arrive In tlmo. A feature of our last Gregory county fair , and ono which greatly pleased the many visitors , wns an elegant display of Indian goods , this department being In charge of Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. C. A.

"There Is no subject upon which It Is harder to know what to any and what to leave unsaid than upon social Impurity. In the last twenty years In our country there have been IIvi ! hundred thousand divorces and at loust half a million children to night that huvo no trite homo with the love of both father and mother. Christ distinctly stated that bo who put away bis wife except for fornlca tlon committed adultery , yet , wo llml this class being received In many places among the so called higher so cial circle1. "While I sympathize with all well directed efforts for the rescue of the two hundred and fifty thousand fall en women and girls and the million fallen men and n fallen man Is just as bad as a fallen woman and often vastly worse yet In dealing with the sin of licentiousness an ounce of pre vention Is worth many pounds of cure. Mothers ought to have plain talks with their daughters and fa thers with their sons warning them of the snares and pitfalls In modern society. Wo have a false conception prevalent In modern life , that makes one standard for one sex and another for the other. The woman In sin Is ostracised and her betrayer continues to be received by society with open arms. A white life for two Is the only principle worthy of acceptance. We need , too , a new spirit of chival ry among American manhood that says , 'God helping mo I will treat every woman In this world as I would want every other man to treat my wife , my mother , my sister and my daughter. " The evangelist spoke strongly on the subject of gossip and scandal. "When the physician conies into your homo to diagnose a case about the first thing he says is , 'show me your tongue. ' This Is a necessary diag nosis in religion. Nothing Is needed In our day any more than the taming of the tongue. " Concerning the eighth and tenth commandments the speaker said : 'There is a spirit of dishonesty prev alent in society , trying to get some thing for nothing. It Is manifest first of all among the boys In the play ground playing marbles for the keeps , ilso the young man who plays slot machines up to the millionaire who gambles In options in the bucket shops and on the board of trade. To all of these God says , 'Thou shalt not steal. ' Covetousness and thievery go hand In hand. They bear the relation ship of parent and child , of cause and offoct. It is the sin of covetonsness inside the life that produces the sin of stealing in the outward act. "But there is an honesty perpendic ular as well as horizontal. Many are taking these bounties from the di vine hand and never expressing the gratitude of a consecrated life. They too are breaking the eighth law. " TIMELY TOPICS. No one would hardly suspect that this country is just now on the verge of another presidential campaign. So far as Nebraska is concerned , her people will be too busy raising corn , and wheat , and alfalfa , and sugar boots , and. fat steers , and sleek hogs to pay much attention to politics. Beaver City Times-Tribune. Fifteen years ago Charles B. Dick kept a feed store in Akron , Ohio , and was a poor man. He is a poor man yet , but a few days ago ho was elec ted United States senator by the Ohio legislature to succeed Mark llanna. Money is not always neces sary to success in this country. The majority of our presidents , In fact , were poor men. Valentino Republi can. Brown county has had a remark ably flno winter , but our cattle men do not want to forget that the winter Is not over yet. It very often hap pens that the worst part of the win ter , so far as it affects cattle , comes after the middle of March. There Is very fortunately an abundance of feed for cattle , and perhaps a good deal of it may yet bo needed. Alns- worth Star-Journal. Some of the fusionlsts believe that "Wo are the same as our fathers have been.
