We are indebted to e. F. Folda, esq,
for a copy Of the report of the condition
Of the banks in Colfax county for Decem-

with assets ranging from thirteen thou
sand to two hundred and thirty thousand

to one hundred and seventy-two thous-

entire county being Esl,592O6. This is
a good showing for these hard times.

husband, with whom she was living in
Columbus, Neb., disappeared. All trace
of him was lost, and he was finally sup

town seven years under an assumed
name. The above is from the Lincoln

Tuesday Of last week was a very fine
day, and Joe Drinnin was seen on the

stirring pillow loaded upon his wagon,
driving up one street and down another.
We thought first he had borrowed the
pillow from a dealer, and was driving
around town thinking it would assist in
removing cobwebs from the eyes Of his
brother farmers, but when We saw him
later, he still had the pillow in his wagon,
had tailed to the west and was leaving

grain was weighed when left, and when
tie farmer went for his grist, the same
was weighed again, when it fell short in
his estimation more than the lawful toll,
whereupOn the farmer loaded into his
wagon what was left, and refused to pay
cash for grinding as was agreed. Acivil
suit will probably settle the above and
leave a precedent.

Tomorrow personal taxes are delin-

One of our exchanges, the Albion News,
suggests that, the times being close, the
county treasurer should not pile up fees
and mileage serving distress warrants,
seeing that. if the money was collected,
it would simply go towards increasing
the already large pile in the treasury,
which goes into the hands of a deposit
tory bank at 4 per cent, while, if it re-
mains in the hands of the taxpayer, the
county gets 10 per cent. The safest
you can, possibly. when they are due; if
not then, SC soon as you can after delin-
quency.

As we go to press Tuesday after
Moons, We cannot Of course give the
proceedings of the public meeting of the
citizens called by Mayor Schupbach for
last evening. to devise ways and means
of helping the needy poor. So many de-
mands have been made upon the author
tiles that this step was thought advisa-
BILE, and no dOnbt great good will result
from the action taken and to be taken.
There is not, as a rule, SO much suffering
in small places as in cities, but there is
enough of it anywhere, and if those who
have the ready means will give of their
abundance to those who have not the
n~ecessaries of life for their little ones,
and who, during these hard times, cannot
get employment, they will be doubly
blessed in the deed.
1t used to be a common saying, in
the Olden time. when wheat was cut with
the sickle or the cradle, that there is
always plenty of work in harvest time.
There are a good many different kinds
of harvest. After the farmer has gath
cred all his grain and stored it, he can
then turn his attention to the harvests
for which the other harvest was prepar-
atory, viz: feeding his stock of various
kinds, and converting his grain into
beef, pork, eggs, milk, cheese, butter,
mutton. wool, etc. When the weather is
too bad for out-of-door work, he can saw
wood in the shed. repair machinery,
make gates, or busy himself about the
house in labor-saving devices for the
kitchen. The old rule Of morals holds
good here, too, do the duty lying near
est, and that will make plain to you the
next, and So on. But We started out to
saw that lust now is the harvest OF ice.

Of twenty per cent in rates, and of
course the newspapers are, in the inter-
