The Rondell string band are acquiring consid-
erable prominence as musicians. They played
two nights in Warner Last week and accepted an
Invitation at Worthwhile Thursday.
Everyone who witnessed the entertainment at
Warner speaks of it in the highest terms. We
are pleased that the dramatic talent Of our
neighbors is 60 universally appreciated.
1t has seldom been our happy lot to partici-
pate in more enjoyable occasion than the party
at Mr.. John Fosters last Tuesday evening. All

A great many farmers are hauling wheat to
Mellette, better prices being paid at the farmers
elevator. Mr.. Hose says he receives ten cents
per bushel more at the farmers elevator than at
Warner-tiYe cents in cash and five cents in the
satisfaction Of bolstering up a more commend
able enterprise. We want more farmers eova-
tors, do you hears
VIII Steere boughta big black dog at Warner
last week for dollar and took it home with the
intention of having another hide towards pros
pectiYe overcoat. He knocked him in the head,
crushing in his skull in the usual way, and the
dog dropped to the ground apparently lifeless.
Mr.. steere was about to detatch the hide when
his canineship, not willing to be disposed Of in
any such manner, arose from tho dead, as it were,
and took his immediate departure for parts IN
known. Viii was somewhat Shocked at the
disappearance Of his supposed d-to-be-dead dorg,
and at once set out determined to recapture and
rekill him. However, the canine reached War
aer, his old home, before Will found him. Will
has his hide now, but he has it securely fastened
so that il will not come to life and skip out when
an opportunity presents itself.
Town Clerk Steere was delegated to visit the
county seat last week to ferret out the errors iu
our assessments aud ascertain, il possible, soma
proper method by which they could be correct
ed. While he found matters much worse than
anyone anticipated, yet he had no trouble in ac-
complishing his purpose. He found that our
assessor had nissed thirty three decided quarter
sections in making his assessments and included
six quarter sections which he should not have
assessed. This, in itself, Is the principal cause,
MS we said last week, Of the exceedingly high
taxes which have been imposed upon cnr tax
payers this year. But, thanks to the kicking
propensities Of many Of our people, wehaye had
the untaxed quarters spoken Of above put into
the list of taxable property and the meeting Of
the town board on Tuesday resulted in.the issu+
ing Of rebates. to ell taxpayers Of the township,
which rebates can now.be obtained at the store
Of Humphrey Bros. The corrected valuation 81
our township shows a reduction Of our tax Of
about 10 per cent, 80 that person paying taxes
to the amonnt Of $40 receives a rebate Of $3,
which he can apply on payment Of his taxes, or
il he has paid he can draw upon the town for
that amount. This is, to our notion, q very
feasible plan and about the only correct way out
OF the present difficulty.
