FRENCH PREPARE FOR
 WINTER CAMPAIGN
Tar Being Used to Make the Trenches As Nearly Water-Tight as
 Possible.

Dunkirk, France, Aug. 27.-All along the French front, preparations are going steadily forward for the winter campaign. In the trenches the greatest possible degree of care is be- ing taken to protect the men not only against attacks, but also against the rigOrS of weather.
 Tar is being extensively used Wherever the intrusion of water is likely to occur, the effort being to make the trenches as nearly water tight as possible. Drainage of various kinds is being provided, and concrete is being freely used to provide wealth CT proof shelters.
 If it is necessary to mako use of the same trenches this winter as the troops occupied last winter, they will not suffer so largely from wet and frozen feet. and it will be possible to sleep or rest with some degree of comfort instead of in the mud
 For the protection of the troops in the advanced trenches, the use of barbed wire is being largely extend

one states come three states, lllin- ois, Maryland and Kansas, all haV- ing the same number per capita of homicides. Of these states, Kansas has abolished the death penalty, H. linois and Maryland have retained it.
 Have Less Homicides.
 Let Us now consider the twenty states which these statistics show have the lowest number of homicides per capita. Among these twenty are all the states but one (Kansas) that have abolished capital punishment The federal statistics, to my mind, show that capital punishment has failed to act as a deterrent, and that in the states where it has been abolished there is a less per capita of homicdes than in the states where it has been retained.
 Up to 1913, six states had abolish ed capital punishment, Washington followed in that year. The United States statistics of 1910 show that five of these are among the twenty with the lowest per capita of hOmici- des, each with a percentage less than .OS in each 10000 of population The other non-capital punishment state Kansas-had the same per capita of homicides as Illinois and Maryland, both capital punishment states.
 651 Homicides in 1910.
 illinois was disgraced by 651 hom icides in 1910, after a century of enforcement of capital punishment. which in Wisconsin, where it had been abolished, the homicides have not been much ever fifty per cent, per capita, of those committed in Illinois.
 "Christianity long ago revoked the doctrine of a tooth for a tooth, and an eye for an eye. Christ prayed the Father, as He saw the thief hanging by His side, "Father, forgive them, for they. know not what they do' Christ himself was suffering the lingering tortures of death at the hands of passion and fury. He did not seek the destruction of those who were murdering Him and the thief by His side, but He prayed that they

should see and know Gods truth. Verify, God himself has reserved to Himself the final penalty for the sins of His children.
 Does Not Decrease.
 Society becomes criminal when it seeks, by violence and the blood of it's victims, to right a wrong com- mitted against it by such product of of it's own neglect. For this class we cannot conceive of execution perform ing any function. The hanging of hundreds or thousands of them, even massacre of their young would not de- crease the crime that springs from the slums and the tenem ents, so long as the slums remain under the tole ance of an intelligent society.
 Another evidence that execution is not effective is afforded in the records Of lynchings and mob violence Whether these have occurred in the North or in the South, they have not had any appreciable influence in re- ducing crime of the charact which aroused public fury. Lynchngs and hurnlngS at the stake are but too common today. What comm unity has profited by a reduction in crime following a lynching?'

Cattle Dying In
Western Nebraska

The daily newspapers are report
ing many losses among cattle in
western Nebraska, and veterinar-
ians are giving the causes OF death
as pneumonia.
Several losses among cattle have
been reported here in Jackson
county, and the state veterinary
who was here about ten days back,
made a through examination of a
critter who died for one of our
ranchmen located northeast of town
and he pronounced the disease as
being pneumonia.
The first losses reported came
from parties owning cattle which
we're shipped in from the markets
this fall, and it was presumed that
the change of climate was respon-
sible for them taking down with
the disease, but later reports have
reached this Office, to the effect that
several owners have lost natives.
The Press man during conver-
sation with DIR. Wellman, our local
veterinary, the other evening learn
ed that the disease could be check
ed If taken in time, and should any
of our farmers or ranchmen begin
to loose their cattle they had better
see Doc or get posted upon the dis
ease. If the epidemic should get
us as bad as it is reported to be
down in Nebraska and other states
it would mean serious loss to US
all.

Personal Tax List In
Hands Of Sheriff

County Treasurer ]. +. Brockel-
shy has complied and turned over
to Sheriff Pepper the delinquent
personal tax list for the year 1914
and the sheriff is now at work max
ing collections. The law covering
the collection Of delinquent taxes
as passed by the last Legislature,
provides that the county treasurer
shall on the roth day of November
each year furnish the sheriff
with a list of all unpaid per-
sonal taxes, it then becomes the
duty OF the sheriff, and not the
treasurer to collect said tax in ad
dition to the amount OF tax appear
ing against each person on this list
will be added the costs which are
as follows: per cent per month
which goes to the county, and 20
cents per mile for each mile neces-
sarily travelled and 81 for each tax
collected which goes to the sheriff,
under the old law the fee allowed
the sheriff for tax collection was
10 cents per mile and 81 for each
collection and our sheriff have con-
tended that this fee was inadequate.
With the collection fee doubled
you can expect visit from Mr..
Pepper and our advice 10 delinqu-
ents is to square up before the
sheriff is compelled to make levy.

40 bushels of grain. This field
was the one that Mr.. Fees received
an 80 percent hail loss on from the
Waseca, Mimi, Hail insurance
Company, and had it not been
struck by hail, undoubtly would
have made 20 bushels to the acre.
This yield of 10 bushels to the
acre is a surprise to everyone and
We congratulate Howard upon this

Big job Completed
By County Auditor

SOunly AuQltOr "A. L. Bernau
has just completed making the
original and duplicate tax lists for
the year 1915, for the towns, town
ships and school districts through
out Jackson county, and to say
that the job was a hard one is
putting it mildly. The Auditor
has been at this work for several
weeks past and he and his able
assistant, Theo. Craven, have
worked late into the night in order
to have the lists completed at this
time.
AS has been stated in the Press,
the levy for county purposes is
one-tenth of one mill less than it
was year ago, when we were
operating as part of old Stanley
county, and this levy will take
ample care of all county expenses.
1t certainly is gratifying to the
Jackson County tax payer to learn
that during the first year of our eX-
istence as new county and with
the great expense of having the
records transcribed; being compel
ed to spend quite an amount for
other supplies and record books
to know that after taking all this
into consideration, that our county
tax will be smaller than it would
have been had we not devided old
Stanley. Too much credit cannot
be given to our Board of Commiss-
toner's for the way they have labor
ed to bring this fact about.
The levies made for the running
expenses of the towns, townships
and school districts depends en-
tirely upon the amount of money
asked for by the authorities of the
several different towns, townships
and school districts. The county
commissioners nor auditor, have
nothing whatever to do with the
asking of the amounts needed by
any local taxing districts, so when
reading over the amount of levies
for the different townships, kindly
Remember that the number of mills
levied, will bring the amount of
money to your town, township or
school district, as asked for by
your own local officers.
1t is an easy matter for any of
our readers to figure up the amount
Of their tax for 1915, if they have
the amount of their assessed valu-
alton handy. For instance, the
average valuation on an unimprov-
ed 100 acres in township south,
range 81 east, located in Kadoka
township and school district No. 2I,
is SIo5S.oo. The state tax of 1
mill and county tax of A. amounts
to S.. 90; the school tax of 10 mills
as asked for by the local school
board is $40. So; the Kadoka town.
ship tax as asked for by the board
Of supervisors of As mills amounts
to S5.o8, and brirgs the total tax
to be paid on the quarter of land
at S2i.26.
Following appears a complete
list of the levies made for the
county, with the exception of the
unorganiZed townships:
