Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1903-10-22

The above is fac sime of a distress warrant
issued by M. e. Schnernger. when treasurer of
Custer County against Henry Benckeser of Wayne
township Custer County Nebraska for fourteen cents
for the year 1900. 1t will be by the return
made on the same by Sheriff Armstrong that he re-
Ceived the the 21st day of December 1901
and that he collected the tax and his costs Jan
9TH, 1902 amounting to $3.15
This is but one of the hundreds that might be
produced showing the extreme methods used by the
pop officials to collect delinquent taxes when less
expensive method adopted by W. A. George, a re-
publican official and republican board might have
been used
The claim of the Beacon that a republican board
passed resolution to mandamus county treasurer is
false, is shown by its own published statement last
in Book 4, Page 49, Supervisors Record of December
g, 1900. The resolution alluded to offered by
Mr. Cooney Of West Union, who was elected popu-
list and claimed to be anything else during his
term of office. The resolution referred only to the
delinquent taxes of 1890 1t was supported by
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1903-10-22
THE TAXPAYERS FRIEND.
Walt CeOage Don't Issue Distress War
renis When Not Necessary.
Loup valley Queen. Sept. a. 1908.

Loup Valley Queen. Sept. "a. 1905.
A few weeks ago County Treas
urer George sent 1l2 postal cards
to that many delinquent taXpay-
ers in Elm township. We pre-
sumo that every person knows
that they owe taxes, and that 1T
is their duty to pay them without
notice.
Mr.. George would have kept
within the limits of the Statutes
of Nebraska had he issued dis
tress warrants at once, as Nj. e.
Schneringer did two years ago
when he was county treasurer.
But would that have been the
proper business way of using
those who placed him in a posi-
ton of public trust? Who ever
heard of business man sending
the sheriff to collect his bills
without first notifying those
who owe him that their bills
were due? Had Mr.. George pro-
coed to issue the 112 distress war
rants, be would have received so
cents each for the warrants,
which would have added $4,000
to the amount Of excess fees to
be turned back to the county.
But let's see for minute what
it would have added to the tax
payers taxes: Mr.. George SOC
the warrant, and the sheriff soc
for service and return; and tho
Statutes of Nebraska provide
that the sheriff is entitled to five
cents mile for every mile actp-
ally and necessarily travelled.
Under the above section of the
Statute there are probably a
hundred or more distress war
rants, which were issued by
Schneringer and served by Arm
strong or his deputy, and is a
part of Custer county's records,
on which there has been paid for
40 miles travel on each, at five
cents per mile, Notwithstanding
the fact that they were all serv-
ed at one trip.
The distress warrants instead
of the postal cards, therefore,
would have made $500 cost to
each of the l12 taxpayers in Elm
township, or total of $3.50, of
which $50 would have been fees
in the treasurer's Office, $50 in
the sheriff's office, and the bal
lance would have been mileage,
which the sheriff would have
showed in his pocket. The
above figures, which are of offici-
al record, and cannot successfully
be denied by anyone, show the
excess fees that Schneringer
turned back to the county which
the Beacon has been making
such howl about, and which
was done at a cost of 600 per
cent to the taxpayers, or $500
for every 50 cents turned back.
Please give us this kind of re-
form and and excess fees in small
doses. ELM TAXPAYER.

Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1903-10-22

Some wholesale liquor house
sent package containing liquor
to Mr.. J. O. Taylor of Bewyn,
the republican candidate for
sheriff. The package was sent
free and without knowledge to
Mr.. Taylor, who refused to ac-
cept it. Now the Beacon in the
hope of prejudicing the temper
ance element against Mr.. Taylor
is using it as a campaign argu-
ment against him. If the Bea-
con man will be fair, he will adj
init that liquor is quite frequent
ly sent without being ordered
even to strictly temperance
people. A case in point similar
to that of Mr.. Taylor, has just
transpired in Ansley. AT the
depot a package of liquor can be
found addressed to a citizen of
our town who never INDUCES in
liquor of any kind, and who is
prominent as temperance man.
The package was sent without
his knowledge, and it was not
until informed by the agent that
he knew of its presence. But
the Beacon does not want to be
fair, and a misfortune of this
kind is gloated over with fiendish
delight. Ansley Chronical, Oct,
10, 1908.

were suspended or withdrew from the
order, including 80 who died. There
were at the close of last year 81 past
grand chancellors, 655 past chancel
lors, 2,435 knights, 6 esquires and 20
pages. The report also shows that
there are as lodges of the order in
Montana. During 1902 one lodge died
Myrtle and Ivy lodges of Helena were
consolidated, and two lodges were in
stituted-one at Malta and one al
Aldridge.
The finances of the grand lodge
and of the subordinate lodges are in
excellent condition. On December 81
1901, there was $1,S95.O6 in the treas
ury of the grand lodge. The receipts
of the grand lodge during the year
were $3,926.24. The total disburse
ments were $4.675.51, leaving a bal
ance of $1,745.79 on hand at the END
of December, 1902.
During the year, the subordinate
lodges disbursed $4,S6755 in sick
benefits, $2,2S9.65 in funeral benefits
and 81, 436.O5 in other relief. With the
| amount on hand at the beginning OF
the year the receipts of the subordi

Russian Women Doctors.

Nowhere Is the woman doctor more
IN evidence than In Russia. Among
the wild and scattered population OF
this immense country there Is an In
exhaustible field for women as doc
tors and teachers and 1t is the knowl-
edge OF this fact which has disarmed
the opposition to their going through
universities. In 1897 Russia had s97

ftantly Increases. In this profession
Russian women have made q distin-
guished name. They have enormous
practices in the great towns. and are
largely employed by the municipali.
