county treasurer Edmund Makes
His Annual Report

County Treasurer Elmund's state
ment OF the receipts and disbursements
OF his office for the year Just ended
SHOWS that the total receipts for the
year was 256,S21.29, while the dis
bursementS aggregated $3251 $50. A.
leaving balance of $141 ,e35. As in the
treasury, the balance year ago be-
ing $l3o, 1871. BY comparison with the
report OF the previous year it will be
seen that taxes have been paid more
promptly the year past than they were
the year before. The total receipts for
1884 were 1886, 325.01, and the total dis
bursements $2,S35, 1859 The aggregate
OF the collections of current taxes for
that year was 2,196, 408.96, as against
S2,328, 340.43 the past year, and the ag-
gregate Of the collections of delinquent
taxes was 1891 ,265.42, as against $780,
S5lS9 the past year. The total valua-
ton of property subject to taxation
the past year was SIPS, 1853, 599
with a view to making comparisons
with the rate Of taxation and the
promptness with which payment has
been made in other cities the past year,
the county treasurer wrote to the coun-
ty treasurers in number of counties
in different states in which are situated
large cities, but the variation in the
mode of collecting taxes makes COM
parsons impossible in most cases. The
total va1ution Of property in the county
in which the city of Detroit, Mich, is
located is $209, $3.50, and the total
amount of the state and county tax
was $6S9, 914.42, of which s541, 94S. 80 was
paid between Nov. Is and Dec Is, with
the probability that $4,000 more would
be paid before the first of the year
The taxes in the city are collected by
the city treasurer
In the county in which is located the
city of Columbus, O., the aggregate
valuation of property is $S1 ,000, 900, and
the rate of taxation is q mills. The
county treasurer stated in his letter
that there was a craze for street i'm
provements some years ago, and now
the people were paying the bills. The
county treasurer of the county in
which the city of Omaha is located
wrote that collections had been much
slower for the first six months of the
past year than they had been for the
same period the year before. The total
valuation of property in the city of
Milwaukee is $142, 1896, the rate of as
sessment 22.3S23 mills, and the total
amount of taxation $3,199, 026.

SAFE BLOWERS WITH NERVE.

Joseph Fischer, an old German SOL
der, who served in the Eleventh Wis
consin infantry during the war; died on
Christmas eve at the soldiers home
under somewhat peculiar circum-
stances. He was afflicted with demen-
tia, arising from an affection of the
spine, and had given more or less
trouble at the home by frequently elud-
Ing the watchmen and nurses and
wandering through the grounds. On
Monday night of last week he slipped
past the Waterman and was not
missed until some time later, when a
diligent search was made for him with
out success.
The engineer at the home. who lives
some distance away, heard some one
calling through the night, but sup
posed 1t was one of his neighbors, who
frequently calls his cattle or hogs at
various nocturnal hours. He had not
heard Of Fischer's absence and did not
know any one was missing from the
home, having left there for his resi-
dence before Fischer was missed. On
Tuesday morning he told the COM
mandant at the home about the calls
he heard during the night and, direct
ing the searching party in the direc-
tho of the sounds. they found Fischer
suffering from exposure and dementia.
He was removed to the home and
everything done for him that was pos
sible, but without avail. He was
eighty years of age and was buried on
Christmas day.
Deceased had been twenty-six years
q resident of the state and was admit
ted to the home April 80, 1894, from Da-
kota county. The authorities at the
home think it was mistake not to
have sent him to an insane asylum in
stead of to the home.

ly take Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. This now
famous medicine has been for centuries
regularly used by the Indians. Their
freeness from this, as well as all similar
diseases is ample proof of its great
merits. When it is remembered that this
is skillfully compounded of roots, barks,
gums and herbs of the forest, and
contains no poisonous ingredients what
ever, it will be seen that no harm can
possibly attend its use; and the rapid
manner in which it accomplishes its
wonderful results will prove to the sufferer
