was learned that they attributed the val

notion that he was TO be discharged and
thus separated from the young man. to
whom he had become greatly attached
during his four years service with the
family.
Mrs. Thebaud told friend OF the fam

account for Djorlin' sact. because he had
always loved her son with the utmost de-
votion. and during the trips taken abroad
by the family the valet and the young
man spent much OF the time sightseeing
together.
1t was learned that the valet had been
drinking heavily for the last six months,
and that several times he had been warn

Paid $26,9ll.49 Taxes.

Last Thursdays edition of the
REPUBLICAN stated that 1.-The
Burlington railroad company has
been paying taxes to number OF
counties in the state without
making any protest, as has always
been the custom, but up to the
present time the company has not
uuloaded any of its wealth into the
Custer county treasury" That
was all right last Thursday, but
that part which referred TO un-
loading into the Custer county
treasury was wrong on Friday,
for on that day, H. L. Ormsby,
local agent for the company visit
ed the Office of the county
treasurer and paid tie sum OF
$50, Oil. 49, the amount assessed
against the company, and. as has
been in other counties this fall,
did not do so under protest.
By the time the Burlington
gets through visiting the various
county treasurers throughout the
state they will have distributed a
snug sum, as their taxes are uI
in the thousands in each county
in which they transact business
