Concerning Taxes.


This is the last week of publication
of the delinquent tax list. For the
benefit of those who may not under
stand the laws governing the sale of
lands for taxes we have obtained the
following brief outline of the law:
All the lands and town lots on which
the taxes are not paid by. the Sd of
September, will be sold by the treas
urer; the purchaser paying the amount
of the taxes as advertised in this paper,
together with additional fees for
advertising, listing and making sale.
The owner of the property has three
years in which to redeem the property
by paying the amount of the taxes with
all penalties and costs and per cent.
per month, interest, to the purchaser.
If not redeemed at the end of three
years then tax deed will be issued to
the party who purchased at the Sep
TENDER sale. After the tax deed is
issued the owner can then redeem the
by paying all the costs and
together with such taxes as
the holder of the tax deed has paid,
with interest at 20 per cent. per annum.
But after the two years from the date
of issuing the tax deed the holder OF
such deed can fix his own terms for
releasing his claim.

Pleasant Lawn Party Il.

Saturday evening the handsome lawn
at theresidence of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Zutavern was brilliantly Illuminated
with electric lights and Chinese Ian
terms, and until late into the night the
sound of joy and merriment rang out
upon the evening air. A splendid
supper was served upon tables set
beneath the trees, such a supper as the
good taste and free hands OF the host
and hostess only could provide, and
was Quickly dispatched by the guests.
Archery, croquet, ond other outdoor
sports were INDUCED in during the
evening, the electric lights making the
grounds almost as light as day. Some
fifty or sixty invited guests were pres
ent, and the party was one of the
pleasantest of the season. It came
within a day of being the fourth
wedding anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs.
Zutdvern.

Satnrdax,s Trnt


Some $50 people witnessed the trot-
ting races at the track west of Great
Bend last Saturday afternoon. The
trOtting commenced about $3.50 p. M.
The first and principal race was for a
purse of 800 and gate receipts, the
horses entered were "Queen of Kan
sas," owned by Nose Fletcher, of Ellin-
wood; L. p. Aber's Dandy Gold-dust;"
A. s. Houck's kansas Boy" and W.
w. Carney's ,'Susie Mack" While
coming to the score the first time
Houck's kansas Boy broke from the
track and going over ridge of ground
at the side one wheel of tie sulky was
turned under, and there seemed all
the elements of bad accident. The
horse made frantic efforts to get
away, but Mr.. Houck chung to him
with wonderful presence of mind, and
making dextrous leap sprang upon
his back, and thus gained control of
the animal and saved his own hide. It
was an exceedingly difficult feat, and
one that could not be done one time in
q thousand. al
The other three horses came to the
score, and three heats were trotted in
elegant shape. "Queen, of Kansas
won each heat in splendid shape, but
was closely pushed by DANDY Gold
dust, % who made some grand move
ments but could not keep his feet, being

A few doses of Beggs' Blood Purifier

The democratic county cOnyen ton
is called for the .14th of September, a
little over three weeks from the present
date. The committeeman of each
township and voting precinct will
understand that it is their especial
duty to see that the primaries are
called and full number of delegates
and alternates elected. The appOrtion-
ment made by the central committee
gives large number of delegates. and
we would like to see every township
fully represented. There should be
1877 delegates present, and as many
alternates. Every man IS interested
more or less in the administration of
county affairs, and every true demo-
crat will consider it his duty to see
that representative men are selected
at the township primaries to put in
nomination the men who will have
charge of county affairs the next two
years.
