The funeral services of the late VIM.

dence at IL o'clock this forenoon. A
large number OF friends and neighbors
assembled to pay the last tribute of re-
spect, and in addition to the relatives
here a brother OF the deceased, F. L..
Barton, of Usage, Iowa, was present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison Clough, Of Floyd,
Iowa, father and mother of Mrs. Barton,
and the ~latter's sister, Mrs. Eakin and
daughter Eve, of Moody county, were
also here, all having arrived on last eve
ning's train from the east. Rev. J. p.
Jenkins conducted the services, taking
for his text the words OF the Savior,
"Fear not, weep not, believe" The oc-
casion was a very sad one, as the family
is very much broken down over the sud-

being completely FRUSTRATED, and suffer
ing acutely. 1t is to be hoped the pres
ence of friends and surcease from
thought over her husbands condition

stricken widow.
County Auditor Runkel Is having a
"duce of a time" making out bis tax levy.
The new law requires that tax levies
shall be reported from the civil and the
school township clerks to the auditor
in specific amounts and not in mill rate
as of old. But as anyone knows, there
is the biggest tumble OF civil townships in
the make up of n OF the ponderous
school townships in this county, that one
can weh imagine. To get q basis for
computing the mill rate OF school tax in
any given school township the auditor
must now pick out the individual farms
in the assessment rolls of the different
portions OF civil townships which go to
make up the school township, foot up
the valuations Of these farms which he
has already footed up in a different way
in the civil township roll, and having
found his school miil-rate from the new
footing then go to work and apportion it
back to all the individual farm descrip-
tions in that respective school township
in order to compute it's school tax.
