Ts.es Coming In lively.

The county treasurer is doing a
land Office business these days re-
ceiving the last half of the taxes due
for 1904, which became delinquent
after August lst. The usually de-
linquent public seems TO have plenty
of money this year. and taxes for
both the first and second half have
been paid with unusual promptneSs.
The receipts Of the office for last
Friday aggregated S27. .565.5s. for
the following day sic. 76. and
for the last day before becoming de-
linquent. Monday, SO. .3s9 a3.
The total taxes for the year 1904
amount TO s2eO. .l3i.67. as against
s244. .05246 for the previous year.
The first year County Treasurer
Beerbohm was in Office. 1898. the
total tax to collect amounted %
about $4,000. This year it is near
ly three times that sum. The in
crease of business at the court
