SOME AS LOW AS SIXTEEN CENTS PER TON Kearaes- Ceaaty Top. he List f TkM Se Kmr Repertlaa;, with a Vadaatlaa of Aiaety-Sevea Ceats Par To a. (from a BtaJT Correspondent), LINCOLN. June A tBpeclal. The price charged consumers for loa la out of all proportion to tlia valua of Ice aa returned by the county aaaeaaora. According- to the lea man thla Utile buuaebold necessity la worth not leaa tban $10 a ton. According to the assessor In Deuel county. Ice out there is worth 60 cents a ton, while In Howard county It la worth to a ton, the highest price placed upon this commodity by any assessor. Of the other countlea reporting- to tba State Board of Equalisa tion, Kearney la the highest. Its assessor pmclng the assessed value at (7 cents a ton, while In the other counties prlcea ranee from 16 to il cent a ton assessed values. Last year the total Ice crop In Nebraska was assessed at 138,441. or an actual value of $17i,;u&. This year this valuation bids fair to be greatly In excess of that amount. Just -why there ahould be such a dis crepancy between the market value and the assessed value the members of the Stats board have not been able to figure out, and Inasmuch aa the board has the author ity to raise any class of property, the loe crop may come In for a boost when the board meets, providing It Is not all melted by that time. Of the countlea reporting so far, Thomas county carries off thn banner, having not one single ton of ice within lta border, an . Indication that the prohibitionists are doing some work In that county. McPherson county has only two tone, and notwith standing the scarcity It Is only worth $1 a ton. Dodge and Hall counties are better fixed, the former having on hand 3,837 tons of ice and the latter 8.63S tons. In Dodge county, however, Ice la only worth 16 cjius a ton, according to the assessor, while In Hall county It la worth 20 cents a ton. The following table showing the .number of tons, the assessed valua and the as sessed value per ton, as made by the vari ous county assessors, compared with the CO per ton charged by the loe dealers. Is enough to freese one. Read It: Assessed Assessed Value value. per Ton. governor would put some one In charge of the Institution If Dr. Alden left there and woujd tn that way keep Alden out.

No jar, no shock, no sense tlons at all; just easy, pleasant, restful work duty well done. The Way lies In the proper selection of food and drink, getting down to Nature's principles, plenty of good air, good water, and particularly plenty of good rood that will easily digest, and nourish and rebuild not clog up. A Food Expert understood how the body worked upon food and what kind of elements i tt required to rebuild Itself, used this knowledge in a skillful way to produce a perfect rood ana called it Grape-Nuts There is the natural Phosphate of Potash and Albumen, from which the life forces make the soft gray Oiling of nerve centres and brain, so brain fag and nervous prostration disappear for the user of Grape-Nuts. Then again, in Grape-Nuts the starchy part of the Wheat and Barley has been changed into a form of sugar at the factory, and. as that is exactly the condition which starchy food, bread, cake, oatmeal, pota toes, etc., assumes after the first act of natural digestion has taken place, we find Grape-Nuts has passed through this process, out side the body and Is therefore p roperly termed pre-dlgested, a tre mendous help for those who are a bit weak in digestive power.
