MEN FOR NORTHERN HARVEST
Omaha Is Furnishing Many Hands to
Garner Grain in Dakota
Fields,

Omaha employment agencies report
good demand for harvest hands to gather
in the wheat crop of the northwest but
they say the conditions are normal and
about the same as in several summers past.
Several hundred men are being shipped out
Of Omaha daily for the Dakotas and south
ern Minnesota and the average wage guar
anteed is 81 a day. The wheat harvest is
in full blast in South Dakota, but will
hardly get under full Roadway in North
Dakota and Minnesota for a week. Crops
are reported good, though there is some
damage from rust. Around Aberdeen, Red
field WATERFOWL and Egan is the greatest
demand for men and in some cases as high
as SO a day is being made. 1t is hard to
get men to work around Egan because of
the alkali water. The demand for harvest
ers however, is not greatly exceeding the
supply and no danger of a workman famine
is threatened
Few men are being handled into Nebraska
and Kansas by the Omaha employment
agencies. The male population of these
states seems to be nearly equal to the
amount of labor at hand and in the imme-
date future. The Kansas field is pretty
we'll covered. so far as Nebraska is con-
cerned, by the efforts of Deputy Commits
sioner of Labor Bush, who is again operat-
ing his free employment bureau.

Quoted by his cousins. Later he was in
the legal department OF the Cudahy Pack
ing company for FIVE years. He came TO
the police department when the Bertillon
records were two years behind and leaves
them in excellent shape.

Of the most competent men I ever saw for
a position such as the one in my office.
He Is absolutely reliable ana straight as a
string We worked together five years
and never had an unkind or angry word
between US I could leave the office in
his charge, feeling perfectly safe. 1 re-
greet to lose such man, but l am glad he
is undertaking an enterprise about which
there is no doubt as TO his success"
Mr.. Boyles plans to move with his wife
and two children to Yankton some time
this month. The college is one long es-
tablished and in a prosperous condition.

Hesitation Of Mayor Moorss on City Levy
Resolution Causes Delay.

County Assessor Reed VIII Place
woodmeu Reserve Funds on
Roll, but County Board
VIII Knock it on.

After a consultation with City Attorney
Breen Saturday morning the Board Of
County Commissioners decided to meet next
Tuesday for the purpose Of making the an
nual tax levy. The mayor had not yet
signed the resolution for the city levy and
is undecided as to whether or not he will
sign II at all. He is dissatisfied with the
levy made by the school BOARD, which he
considers too large
When the county board makes its levy 1t
will be on a total valuation Of S29, $40 800.
This does not include the Woodmen of the
World reserve funds, but 1t does include
all raises made by the state board. County
Assessor Reed has been directed by the
state board to place on the tax rolls for
assessment the reserve funds Of the Wood
men of the World and the Woodmen Circle
about 100000 This he will do, being
amenable to the orders Of that body. II is
expected that the county board will strike
this item on, and thus the organizations
mentioned will escape taxation Of their re-
serve funds.

G. M. Spur and his mother were
honored by a visit on Sunday from a
large delegation Of Golden Rule EN-.
ployees among whom where Miss Eva
Dent and Mr.. Martin Schamber.
The Rev. c. G. Todd of Aberdeen,
preached in Il church last Sunday
afternoon to a large and appreciatlve
audience, after which there was a
christening. Joe G. Campbell's baby
had to have a name.
Threshing has begun but so far
only feed had been run through, the
rain having put a stop to a general
start. By next week wheat from the
shock will be pushed as fast as suffi-
Gent help can be got.
Mrs. Allen Maiden who had been
reported ailing for about a week,
but who was believed to be getting
we'll, died very suddenly Monday
evening about eight O'Clock. She
leaves a husband, two children, two
sisters and one brother here besides
her father and other friends near
| Elkhart, Ind. The body was en-
balmed and sent to the old home for
burial, the husband and sister, Miss
Aaron Maiden, went with it.
A calf belonging to Allen Maiden
had rather a peculiar experience re-
Gently. The platform of the we'll was
rather delapidated and while hunting
for a drink fell through. Before
reaching the water line it crawled
through a break in the curbing where
it remained for eleven days without
water or feed. Mr.. Maiden, working
about the we'll, heard a noise which it
made and drew it up apparently not
much the worse for it's imprisonment
and fast.
The storm of Tuesday evening as
far as we can learn did comparatively
little damage around Houghton. The
hail was quite large but coming al
most straight down broke very little
glass. Mr.. Mitchell reports three or
four window panes broken and trees
stripped of branches and foliage. MIR.
Diment's hay stacks just put up we're
pretty badly blown and standing
grain all over was badly lodged and
broken down. In Detroit township
the storm was more severe, with
heavier loss of grain. Louis Heine-
mann reports a very sore head from
being struck by hail stones, some OF
which were as large as goose eggs, but
he held to his horse through run Of
nearly a mile.

Tar had to levy on n man. He paid

Others, SO these gentlemen declare,
who will have to show a better dispo-
sition to pay or they will have trouble
OF all sorts and kinds. Collecting
taxes is not the most pleasant lob in
the world and the gentlemen who
have been doing it this year have en-
oeavored to be as obliging as possible
out some few people, they say, have
exhausted their patience. The work
In Aberdeen will be brought to a fin
ish soon and then they will start in
on the country and the smaller towns
IN the county. September 18th is the
time limit and from now on they will
insist on promptness. They cannot
help it and people should remember
that the collecting is being done for
the mutual good Of the community.
Messrs. Champlin and Hollenbeck
lind, upon investigation, that MANY
who are most heavily indebted to the
county have left and cannot be made
to pay. They estimate that the
county Will lose half the amount on
the books for personal taxes in this
way.

Shocking Accident at Ferney

A shocking death was the fate OF

Schariff, living near Ferney, and his
parents are grief-stricken.
The little fellow was toddling
around the yard playing, and, child
like he must have wandered to the
horse trough to play in the water
In some way he must have slipped
and fell into the trough, the water be-
ing OF sufficient depth to drown him.
His little body was found a short
time after, but life was extinct.
The lad was a lively little fellow,
bright and loving and his death was
a terrible blow to his parents and low
ing relatives.-Groton Herald.
