CAN THEY DO 1T HERE?
How to Make the County Pay Your
Taxes and Get 10 Per Cent
On Your Money.

The Minneapolis Tribune of the 18th
Sept. has the following:
County Auditor Minor has set his
foot down and Will not pay any more of
one certain kind of refunders, unless
compelled to do SO by mandanlus.
The tax laws of this state are peculiar
in many respects. 1t is not generally
known that person might scheme to
not only evade real estate taxation, but
obtain ten per cent. per annum on an
investment besides. Here is the way
to do it. Have friend or relative take
your money and buy up your property
for several years, on a tax sale. Then
have him bring an action to quiet title,
and defeat him in the action. The court
will make an order giving YOU the prop
erty, but will order the auditor to pay
your friend or relative the money he
has put in, with ten per cent. interest.
The auditor has no way to reassess the
property, and there You are with your
taxes all paid up, and a nice little inter
est account besides.
Several o. these orders have been
made lately, notably in cases where
there was an illegal sale because of
faults in the books. The auditor has
paid out the money, and found he could
not get the tax. In order to stop it, the
auditor will refuse any more, and the
matter will be carried to the district
court with the first sitting Of the judges
eff this thing keeps up" said Mr..
Mr.. Minor, the county will be with
out any funds, and good lump of money
will be lost III the way of taxes, Every
time one is successful, another tries it,
and tue result is that there are a great
many payments with interest, and the
treasury will suffer. Again, it mikes up
the work of the board of tax levy, for
the tax is made short a. the end of the
year. Those orders should be made to
read that the defendant can have title
to the property upon the payment of
the taxes, and not otherwise"

Think can you guess her name,
This lovely little maiden sweet

And love is often like bubbles

SO at least I've heard ii limited

That girls more tickle grow.
They're not like their dear mammals were
When boys came them awoOing.
They loved but one. those beings rare,
And kept their love renewing.

home of Mrs. Tubbs. and her visit on
this occasion was the first in forty
years Notwithstanding the long time

Robb's new houses, the comptroller re-
fused 10 grant the money, though the
council voted ii and the mayor signed
the order. The comptroller, of course,
is obeying the law, and is in no way to
blame. The trouble is that the owners
of vacant lots, in some cases, will not
sign, and III other cases the owners can
not be found. 1t is 10 lie hoped that
the difficulty will be overcome as side

ReiuiS-cat in Pace.

The city hall flag was at halfmast on
Tuesday and Bouncer O'Brien had
long piece of crepe tied about the cover
of his wit, while the city officials gen
orally wore a look of detection and
moved about in a manner that seemed
to Indicate that some dire calamity had
been visited upon the civic household.
Those who We're not aware of Just " hat
had happened were at loss to know
the reason for the sepulchral gloom
pervadlng the place. Some thought per-
haps Steck's black bear cubs had stolen
out to South Range and made a meal of
Mayor Starkweather's young porkers
Others thought perhaps some one of
the policemen had been devoured in
his sleep by cockroaches, and others
thought perhaps the genial assistant
city clerk had gone over 10 the ranks of
the Benedicts or the bottom had fallen
out of the mayors copper mine. Too
considerate for the feelings of the af-
tlicted officials to inquire as to the cause
of their distress, it was consequently
not known to outsiders just what had
happened until Bouncer O'Brien was
seen to emerge from the building bear
ing by der caudal appendase the enact
ated corpse of Tabby, the civic cat. who
had gone to the place where there are
no mice, never to return. Slowly and
sadly he bore her to the grave he had
dug for her, and laid her to rest with
her fur coat around her, and not a
sound was heard save the noise of the
shovel as he filled III the hole. For
eight years Tabby had mewed and
purred around the city hall and was a
general tavorite. But even cats must
die.

NJ DEAR MIR. lLENENT:
We were all delighted with your
Hohcnstauffen. | never saw a more
refined character on the stage. The
Hohenstauffen of your creation has the
culture of the university, the high
breeding of the court, the courage OF
the army, and the courtesy and tender
ness of the perfect gentleman. Every
thing you did. every gesture. every
pose, came from within, from a clear
motive and strong conception of the
character. In no instance did you
overstep the modesty of Nature. From
first to last you were absolutely con
sstent, neither too much nor too
little, neither food nor drought, but
maintained for every moment artistic
proportion. You are a natural actor
and have the divine spark, the touch
of nature, the poetic and pathetic intu
ition that cannot be acquired. ! con
graduate you; yOu stand an the thrcsh
old of great career. On next Thurs
day evening we are going to have a
little play, and after the play, some re-
freshments Now we would like to
have you come oyer after your play and
spend a few hours with US. Come il
YOU can. We all want to see and tell
YOU how much we all admired lIohen

uction of Harry Marteil's scenic play,
The South Before the War" 1t is a
play full of su.gcstiveness of those
plantation scenes familiar to those who
knew the South in slavery times. The
the typical southern darkev with all his
eccentricties predominates i'll the com
pauy, though the realistic portrayal of
the white actors fairly hides their idcn-
tity. The play introduces cleverly
number of scenes that are positively
life like, beginning with "Under
Southern sky" which pictures the re-
turn of an escaped slave, including
many Incidents of ante-belium DAYS,
dancing of every description, and gem
uiEe old darkey melodies. Another
scene depicts darkev camp meeting.
with all the peculiar characters usually
seen there. and all the ceremony, sing
ing, shouting, and amusing incidents
that are known to characterize such
gathering. Other realistic scenes follow
one upon another until the audience Is
fairly refreshed with It's glimpse Of Old
time darkey life, and Is finally treated
to a new-fangled cake walk. The com
pany is very large one, containing
