f. M. Bailey and K. S, Christen-
son, of Waseca, Mimi, have been in
the city for several days with the

carried on by I. L. Wood, of Chicago,
and they were completed by the gen
'tlemen making the purchase of the
property. They expect to take pos
session OF the mills on Aug. II.
Messrs Bailey and Christensen left
for their homes Saturday morning.
The property was owned by James
H. Wood, Of Monmouth, Ill, and it
has been operated for the past few
years under the direction of Jos. Nc
Caslin. 1t was erected about IS years
ago and when the business has been
pushed it has been more than a pay
ing investment.
Messrs. Bailey and Christensen ex-
pect to move to Mitchell at once ano
while the latter will have charge OF
the interests in the mill Mr.. Bailey
expects to travel on the road to sell
the products. They exepct to make
a few improvements on the property
that will enable them to handle the
business better. Mr.. McCaslin has
managed the business in very care,

head of it for the owners and it is
hoped that he will be retained, for

this Mr.. Hannett stated that he
considered the bids too high, and for
the further reason that the mains
would be put in so late that he did
not believe that they would be used
by any individual until next spring.
He could not see the necessity then
Of spending that amount of money
when there would be no income from
it until next spring. Mr.. Hannett
stated that he was perfectly willing
that the mains should go over to the
north side, and if it could have been
done earlier he would have inter-
posed no objections. When it came
to vote the substitute motion car
ried, Alderman Hannett, Curtis and
Koch voting for it and Aldermen
Scriven and Miller against it. The
bids were then rejetecd and they
matter will be held in allegiance un-
til next March, when the .council..wil
put in the mains in plenty of time
for the use of the water.
Bids were opened for the construc-
tion of large amount of cement
sidewalk, the principal portion Of
which extends from Fourth street
north on Main. The contract was
awarded to Gottlieb Scheurenbrand.

DELIGHTFUL RECEPTION
Large Company of Ladies Enter.
tanned at a Reception at Home
OF. Mrs. j. o. Walrath

Society has not been particularly
active in Mitchell this summer and
there have been very few events of
a prominent character. Friday
afternoon occurred most delightful
reception at which a large number
of ladies were entertained by Mrs.
y. 0. Walrath and Miss Craig and
Mrs. w. J. Healey, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, the latter being here on a
visit with her sisters, which gave
her an opportunity to meet many
old friends in Mitchell
The hours for receiving were from
2:3O to $50 o'clock and during the
time there was a continual stream Of
ladies going and coming The door
was attended by Mildred Healey and
Florence Walrath. In the parlOr the
hostesses were assisted in receiving
their guests by Mesdames r. F. Dun
dass, J. T. Morrow and F. Nj. Ham
mer, and after few brief moments
of conversation the guests were
ushered into the sitting room. In
the bay window, which was'prettily
decorated, stood the lemonade
punch bowl and during the after
noon the guests were served by
Misses Ruth Youngman, Marjorie
Ruth, Grace Beckwith and Jessie
Walrath. Mrs. Geo. E. Foster con-
Quoted the ladies to the dining
, room, where delicate refreshme nts
/ were served. The center table was a
pretty creation in its decorations.
| A large piece made Of royal ceruant-
eaus and gypsaphinas were laid on
a back ground Of sword ferns, the
! whole in the form of a star, with a
/ center piece of the same flowers. 1t

served ty Mesdames Geo. H. Rev
Chas. W. Hoon and j. X. Smith.
| The interior decorations were com.
posed Of Marguerites, poppies an6
other flowers, and the rooms pre-.
sented a very attractive appearance.

MADE LEVY FOR YEAR.
School Board Made the Appropria-
tions for the School Year, Which
Amounts to $4,000.

The regular meeting of the, school
board was held Monday evening for
the purpose of transacting the month
ly business. The following members
were present: President Bras,
Messrs. Halphide, Litchfeld, Pehr-
son. VIM. Herbert, Geo. Foster, A.
E. Dean and A.. j. Kings.
/. The matter of a selection Of a success
sor to Miss Augusta Mcguire was
taken up and after several ballots
were held Miss Halfway was elected
Ito position in the schools. Several
changes were made by placing Miss
Rogers in charge of the south side
schools, Miss Cooley taking the place
Of Miss Rogers and Miss Halfway TAX
ing Miss Coolley's room. Miss Hath
way is a graduate of Morningside
college and is young lady that has
had experience in the school room.
The annual tax levy for the years
expenses Of the schools was also made
at this time. The SUI, Of $4,000 was
appropriated for the coming year, and
aside from this a little over $4,000
will be secured from the state school
fund to ASSIST in the matter CT ex-
penses. 1t is taking more money to
run the schools of the city, but it is
no more than what would be expected
when the rapid growth Of the busi-
ness interests and the population of
Mitchell is taken into consideration.
The matter Of good schools is very
| important feature with Mitchell peo-
pie and the high standard that our
schools have attained cannot be kept
up and still be built up by running
on a cheap basis. The Incidental ex-
penses in the way of repairs last year
made the board run behind some, and
| this Indebtedness will have to be TAX
en- care of in this appropriations:
Money that is judiciouslg spent in
the matter of education is not in the
least begrudged by the people, and
the board has used its best judgment
in looking after the schools to the
end that Mitchell does not have tc
! take a back seat from any town in
the state in Offering advantages OF
this character.
The subject of making some needed
repairs around and in the school
houses was taken up and discussed.
1t was decided to lay cement walks
on the east and south sides Of the
west side schoul building reaching

SOME ASSESSMENT FIGURES.
The Assessed Valuation of Property
in Dawson County-Increase
Over a Year Ago.

County auditor Anderson has just
finished making up his assessment
rolls for the property in the city and
county, and it is noticed that there
is an increase to an appreciable ex-
tent in the amount of property that
was. turned in for assessment.
The total assessed valuation of
property in the city and county for
the present year amounts to SO, ,O5;-
400. For the year 1901 it was So,
458,5 ,586. Neither Of these figures con-
tain the amount Of assessment of the
railroad, telegraph and telephone,
and express companies, which this
year reaches the sum of 282, 1898, and
should be added to the above total
for 1902.
In the city the assessed valuation
on personal property amountsto $780,
9l6; on city lots including structures
it is S7S1, ,416, making the total
assessed valuation on all city proper
ty S1,092, 1882, or about third of
Gue cIlblTe -COuuUy.
There has been an increase in all
lines throughout the county, partic-
ularly stock. The following extract
from the assessment rolls will give
some idea what here is in Dawson
county:
Acres Of land 2l6, 1888, valued at ST.
541, ,408; horses under years old and
over MONTHS. 995, valued at $40, ,0O5:
horses over years old $3.50, valued
at s73,812.
There has been very fair incresae
of cattle of all ages in the county,
amounting to 1877 head The total
number of cattle in the county is 49,
40, valued at 1884, 331; there are zoos
head Of sheep valued at SIC, ,4O6; IS, 500
hogs valued at S15, 1862; there are t.
673 wagons and carriages valued at
$21 ,908; there are 1913 pianos valued at
$12, ,066; goods and m erchandise is
assessed at S134,240, of which S115, ,965
is charged up to this city.
Taking into consideration the fact
that the county contains but twelve
townships the assessed valuation
makes a very good showing indeed.
In the past twelve months there
have been a number of new settlers
moved in and in a good many cases
their personal property was not SUBJ
ject to assessment this year but will
come in next year.

CITY COUNCIL MET

DAWSON County's Assessed Valuation

Amounts TO $s,o55,409.
There Has Been a General Increase Of

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
Quorum Secured to Open Bids and
Transact Other Business of
an Important Nature.

A special meeting of the council
was held Friday evening which was
attended by Mayor Silspy, and Alder
men Koch, Curtis, Miller, Hannett
and Scriyen
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of opening the bids for the con.
struction of the library building, lay
ing of water mains and building ce-
ment sidewalks, and also Of the pas
sage of ordinances.
A new ordinance was introduced
and placed on It's first reading, which
has for its purpose to improve the
conditions Of the alleys and streets
within the fire limits, and if its pro-
visions are enforced after its proba-
BILE passage the business district will
be decidedly cleaner than it is now.
This ordinance provides that it
shall be unlawful for. any person to
throw, drop or leave upon the prs.
misses, streets, or alleys within ths
fire limits of this city any vegeta-
BILE or animal matter; the ordinance
further prohibits that any offensive
water or slops, or vaults to remain
offensive on the premises. People
/ are prohibited from throwing waste
paper, shavings, hay or straw or any
combustible material upon the
premises, streets or alleys within the
| fire limits. Nor shall any of this
same kind of material be burned
within the fire limits unless it is
placed within an iron receptacle so
as to- prevent the sparks from escap-
ing and causing damage. For the vio-
lation of this ordinance penalty is
imposed ranging from 81. to S25.
/ Aniordinance was placed on its Sec
ond reading and final passage pro-
viding that sidewalks on Lawler
/ street from Railroad to Fourth shall
be six feet in width. The ordinance
was passed.
Bids were opened for the construc-
tion Of the water mains for the
north side of the city. From the
bids that were submitted it would
cost between $3.50 and $4,000
to lay these mains, and it took quite
a long discussion to reach any
definite conclusion, owing to the high
bids and because of the lateness OF
the season. Alderman Scriven moved
that inasmuch as the city had agreed
to put in the mains and that every
thing had been done tending in that
direction, that the contract be
awarded to M. E. Orrell and a con.
tract be made to complete the work.
Alderman Hannett moved asubstitut..
to postpone awarding the contract
until March, 1908. In explanation. .,o1
