PROMINENT FARMER CALLED
Daniel Reimann Laid to Final Rest
Monday Afternoon.

Saturday night at 1915 o'clock
Daniel Reimann, one of the prom
inent farmers of the Landing dis
trict, passed on to the Great Be
yond; the realm from which there
is no returning. Mr.. Reimann had
suffered greatly for a long time,
seeming to be unable to get any
permanent relief. He had con-
suited many physicians and last
fall visited the Mayo Institute. but
medical treatment seemed to be of
no avail whatever. Upon his re-
turn home some months ago he
took up the study of Christian
Science and it seemed that under
this practice he was regaining his
health. but suffered a relapse and
after that the end came quickly. 1t
is said that Mr.. Reimann passed
away in peace and contentment.
The Reimann family came to this
place in the spring of 1909 and
pioved onto a homestead in the
Landing country Immediately. Since
that time Mr.. Reimann acquired a
lot of land. being the possessor OF
about 1000 acres at the time OF
his death. He was recognized as
one of the successful farmers of the
county.
Funeral services we're held III
the German Baptist church Monday
at $3.50 p. m, being conducted by
Geo. w. Rich. The cemetery ser
vice was conducted in German, th'
deceased being of that nationality
born in Russia.
The deceased is survived by Mrs
Reimann and twelve children TN
youngest of whom is ten years Old

CHANGES AT COURT HOUSE
Wones Rctires to Private Life
Crowley Dons Official Toga.

Saturday evening H. c. Wones
who for nearly year has given
valuable service to the County OF
Power in the office of Clerk of the
District Court and ex-officio Audi
tor and Recorder, closed his Off
cial career, for the time being, at
least and retired to the ranks OF
private life. His purpose in Civ
ing up an office for which there is
usually a great scramble every cam
paign, is that he might give his
time and attention to his own busi-
mess, and he has already taken up
mis- work as manager of the Pow
er County Abstract Co.
Power county is not yet a year
old and already two men have re-
signed from the clerks office. David
Burrell resigned after holding the
office only a few weeks, in order
that he might accept a position in
the State Game Department. Upon
the resignation of Mr.. Burrell, Mr..
Wones was induced to take the Of
flee and his record as public Of
ficial will reflect credit upon him;
his work has been of great value
to this county.
Paul Bulfinch, formerly the as
SCISSOR, is now holding down the
position of clerk. In performing
the duties of assessor Mr.. Bull
finch mas made an enviable record
and it is expected that he will do
as well in the new position.
The new assessor, o. F. Crowley
comes to the position with a great
fund of business experience and a
wide knowledge of values in all
lines. 1t is to be expected that he
will render good service to the
county.

A. p. Ramstedt, chairman of the
state tax commission, discusses the
forfeiture provisions of the new
revenue law, fully explaining how
property to which the county auto
maticany receives a delinquency
certificate upon failure to pay taxes,
may be redeemed by the property
holder, emitting, however, a state
ment of the penalties attached. The
certificate of delinquency" is is
sued to the county recorder imme-
diately by the county treasurer and
this may either be held by the coun-
ty or transferred to the so-called
tax sharks" if requested, at any
time prior to the two years follow
ing the second Monday in January
or one week after taxes become
delinquent, but during that two
years the property holder has the
right of redemption upon payment
of the penalties, and after the two
years at which time formal fore
closure proceedings are instituted
acting in the nature of a suit TO
quiet title, the property holder still
has another year to redeem upon
payment of costs of the foreclosure
suit. The changes especially rela-
tive to the right of redemption are
discussed by Chairman Ramstedt as
follows:
1T would appear from repeated
inquiries at the office of the TAX
commission that a large number Oh
delinquent taxpayers who are not
familiar with the provisions of the
new revenue law, have received the
impression that through their
failure or inability to pay taxes be-
4 b.nfts
become the property of the coun-
ty, and that under the new law,
failure to pay taxes before del1n-
auency acts automatically TO trans
fer title from the property owner
to the county, or assignee OF the
county. without notice and without
affording the property owner op-
. portuuity to pay before such trans
fer. 1t lis to correct this impress
sion that 1 make this statement.
The new revenue act gives to
the property owner protection
against transfer of this property
for delinquent taxes without due
p notice that he did not have under
: the old law 1t is to be remem-
: bered, however. that the new law
r applies only to taxes levied for the
r. year 1913 and subsequent years.
e The taxes levied prior to 1913 are
r coEectable in accordance with the
Law as it existed prior to the pass
age of the new revenue act and
= such prior Law is expressly con-
tinued in force for such purpose.

transcribing of delinquent taxes

Mnquent roll, the publication in q

TO THE LADIES

Pertaining to the spring and
summer styles for the year 1914,
the following are some of the most
distinguishing features.
THE JACKETS TO SUITS will
be short in front, barely reaching
to the waist line but lengthening
gradually to twenty-SiX or thirty in
ches in the back. The fronts, IN
most cases, fastening with fancy
vests. For trimmings there will be
contrasting shades of satin and or
dental silks. As to sleeves, the
dropping shoulder as well as the
coat sleeve will be equally up to
date and combinations such as a
plaid skirt and a serge or broad
cloth jacket to be worn together
will be one of the fads of the sea-
son.
SKIRTS will show a decided
change in design The narrow
ness at the bottom will be even more
accentuated by the fullneSs at the
hip which will be worn almost bag
gy. and more or less draped
There is also the over-draped skirt
This design, tending to stand away
\ from the body, gives the old tunlc
effect, and promises to become one
of the most popular styels.
] d r E S e S. The one-plece
/ dresses will be more in demand
than ever before. The blouses are
made very loose and mostly witt
the dropping shoulders. The skirts
to these garments will be made as
l described above.
COATS will be of variegated an(
artistic designs; fOrty-six inche
will be the popular length and loos'
fitting lines will predominate.

LITTLE LOST SISTER
Virginia Brooks Story of White
Slave Traffic Ably Presented.

When Virginia Brooks wrote the
story Little Lost Sister" she no
doubt had hopes of its doing for
the white slave traffic of today
what Uncle Toms Cabin" did for
the colored slaves of the south,
and certainly if it could be present
ed in every community as ably and
as foroibly as it was at the Audi
torium last Saturday night there
is no doubt but that a great deal
would be accomplished by way of
clearing the moral atmosphere OF
our cities.
The cast producing this play
was among the strongest that ever
appeared here. and the story OF the
play was such as to convey in a
very forcible manner the means and
methods employed to WOO thousands
of young girls to their destruction
each year in this country.

LANGUAGE.

If you look upon the language
spoken in the Saxon time and
the language spoken now you
will find the difference to be just
as if a man had a cloak he wore
plain in Queen Elizabeth's days
and, since, here he has put in
piece of red and there a piece Of
blue and here a piece of green
and there a piece of orange.
We borrow words from the
French. Italian and Latin as ev-
cry pedantic man pleases. We
have more words than nations
half n dozen words for the same
thing. Sometimes we put new
signifcation to an old word. as
when we cali apiece a gun. The
word gun was in use in England
for an engine to cast thing
from a man long before there
was any gpnpowder found out.
Words must be fitted to a mans
mouth. Twas well said Of the
fellow that was to make a speech
for my ford mayor he desired
TO take the measure of his lord
p'shmouth.-John Selden.
