LINCOLN. July 21 (Special-) Douglas
a-' county wants the Stat Board of Equaliaa-
tlon to niake the levy for that county 44
mills and to that end W. O. Ure, John P.
Breen. W. O. Shriver, D. V. Bholea, F. H
Myers and Thomaa 8. Boyd were before the
board thU afternoon with their arguments
From remark of the board members It U
probable that Douglas county will set some
little reduction, but not the 4 mills. !
Mr. Breen acted aa spokesman for the
party and made comparisons of the -aeaaed
valuation of horses, cattle, lands
and merchandise. Ia ninety countiea of the
atate, aald Mr. Breen, horses were assessed
on an average at fT.GO and cattle at ti ll.
In Doug-las county rattle were assessed at
14.47 and borsea at SU.1X The speaker waa
here Interrupted by Treasurer Mortensen,
who aald that Douglas county had fine
horses and cattle, the latter of the fancy
breed, and he wanted to know If they
should not be assessed at a higher rate.
Thla brought on considerable discussion
between the board member and Mr. Breen
aa to feeders, fancy cattle and draft horses.
with the result that neither was convinced
that the other's argument was correct.
In thh-ty-foor of the best counties of the
state Mr. Breen aald the average assessed
value per acre of land was tSJ. In Dong-
las county, outside of the cities, the land
was assessed at C4.S9 an acre. He then
gave the real value based on sales of sev
eral of the different counties. Thla table
showed that land In Burt county was worth
$55, Butler JSO, Cass. 55, Richardson (60.
Fillmore 145. Gage S4S and Polk 145, Land
In Sarpy county was assessed at (9.3S, Cass
W. Otoe $3.41. Richardson 5.K. Washing
ton 17. M, Burt $6.30. In Douglas county Mr
Breen held that land outside of the cities
was worth not more than $00 to $70 an acre.
Members of the board, however, thought
that land near Omaha where trains run
out of the city every few minutes and
where shipments could be made and where
all the advantages In the world were to be
found should be aaseased higher than other
lands even though the other land from an
agricultural standpoint waa lust as good.
Then Mr. Breen took up the matter of
the merchandise, he said Just to show that
the Douglas county assessors had done
their work well and had not overlooked
much property. The merchandise In Omaha
he aald had been assessed at $1.23.405. and
the census showed the population of Omaha
to be 102.000. In twelve counties he said,
with a population of t24,77. the merchan
dise had been assessed at $125,000. This led
to another discussion In which the board
members thought that as Omaha was a
wholesale town it should return consider.
sble more merchandise than all the other
cities of the state combined.
During his remarks Mr. Breen called the
attention or the board to the fact that the
tendency had been to assess everything In
Douglas county at a higher rate than In
any other part of the state, and he akl
the board to give the people of Douglas
cwiniy reiier.
The returns from Douglas county show
mat mules were assessed at iioyi-
$11.11? cattle. ; tana1, U.: A total of
1ST Iota were reported more than were re
turned last year and the total valuation
waa decreaaed $105,611 Land showed a de
crease of 17 cents an acre from last rear
Ten thousand two hundred and ninety-five
norsea were returned at a value of $114,000.
Custer county returned 25.000 horses at a
valuation of $110,000. The total number of
horses returned were 659,983. at an averara
of $7.74. The total number of cattle were
2.3U.CS at $4.46 and 39.S40 at $9.40.
Fraaehlse Valaed at Little.
The returns of the county clerks show
that franchises In Nebraska for taxation
purposes are of very little value. The as
sessors found that franchises were worth
from $3 to $2,100 and that Is about alL For
the entire state the taxable value of the
franchise amounts to $44,817. Ia this grand
total of thirty-six companies which re
turned franchises Douglas county has eight,
The average value of the Douglaa county
franchises Is 1,0T1.. In view of the fact
that the Omaha Street Railway company
franchise is aald to be worth at least $400,
000 or $500,000 It has created aome talk as to
how the county authorities arrived at the
value returned. What the board will do In
the matter la not known.
The average value of the billiard tables
Is $15,04. and there are KS tables In the
state. Of the wagons, carriages, bugglea
and vehlclea Hated there are H5.40S, the
average value of which la $4. as. The
watches are numbered at 78.998, worth $1.69
each. The returns show that In the state
are 1T,S pianos, valued at $21.71 each.

The summer session of the university
ends Friday and most of the Instructors
will leave the city for a short vacation
before school begins again in September.
The attendance at the short summer term
has bee very small, only about laO being
registered, but the work has been very
satisfactory. There are several reasons why
the attendance has been so light, principal
among these being the Boston convention
and the Junior normal schools throughout
ths state. Wealeyan university has also
run a summer term for the first time thla
year and there was a big meeting of the
county superintendents la Omaha, which
served to keep many away. The last lec
ture of the course waa given by Prof.
Jack man this morning en "Nature Study."
Tomorrow night the annual gymnasium
exhibit will be given In memorial hall. In
which all the students who have been tak
ing physical training will participate. There
are nearly a hundred pupils who will take
part In' the exhibition. The program In
cludes free hand drills, apparatus work.

Cat Dowax Wheat Yield.
HARVARD, Neb.. July 2. (Special.)
There seems to be no doubt but the yield
of wheat will be below expectations, as
many fields, for some reason hard to de
fine, have failed to come up to the expec
tations in filling, the heads being short snd
poorly filled. This, with the less screage
sown la I year, will no doubt cut the total
yield for Clay county at a conservative es
timate from one-fourth to one-third below
ths total yield of the county for Ust year.
! Thre3hing has begun a little but not
i enough has been threshed to give conolu
i sive results as to yield.

NORFOLK, Neb.. July H (Special. )
The Becond day of tha tournament of Ne
braska's firs fighters was ushered In be
neath a gloomy looking sky, which dropped
discouraging rainwater for three straight
hours. As a result nothing of the program
could be carried cut during the forenoon,
ths water fight and wet hose race being
postponed.
During the storm the city's guests
lounged about In the hotel corridors, talk
ing over the events of yesterday, gossip
ing upon the outlook for champions and
featuring reminiscence of other meets, for
amusement.
Until midnight last night the streets
were Jammed with a JVvial crowd that
surged back and forth and threw confetti
Into each other's aces. Three big dances
prospered, the midway attractions ran
hard and there was a merry lot withal.
Every hotel In the city is crowded and
overflowing, hundreds ot extra cots are
taken, snd even wi:h that men were forced
to sleep out upon the streets.
A little sen of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Hib
bon was severely hurt on a merry-go-round
at the corner of Fifth street and Norfolk
avenue last night. In catching on the ma
chine he was swung between the edge and

Fast Work at Coapllas;.
Though the track waa stl'l a bit soft
from the morning's rain It was surprls

A crowd evtn larger than that of yesterday
filled the amphitheater. Ths air waa cool
for the runners and fast work resulted.
The best feature of the afternoon's card
was ths coupling- coolest tot the atate
championship. In a wonderfully clever I
series at this work Al Marks of Stanton
beat the best record ever mads In Nebraska.
He made the fifty-foot run and coupling
three times In 0:12H. which lowers the rec-
ord three-fifths of a second. When he had '
finished a lusty cheer went up from the
crowd and Al was carried off the field upon
his comrades' shoulders. Others entered
were from York, Seward. Ord and Fremont.
In the regulation hose race, ISO yards,
clasa A, Seward and Fremont tied for first
money, time 0:34V. Both teams made beau
tiful runs. York made an excellent run,
but missed the coupling for the first time
In years. The hose was not laid just right
Kearney made a good run. but waa slow
coupling. It got third money. Stanton
missed the coupling.
In the regulation hose race, class B,
CI arks won first In 0:47: Pender second,
time 0:494. Holdrege and Humboldt both
missed coupling.
In the regulation hook and ladder race,
1D0 yards, clasa A. Grand Island. In a au
perb run. took first money, time 4Z Albion

In the second heat of the handicap foot
race the following qualified: Halner of
York, Benlsh of Norfolk. Caulfleld of
Kearney, and Sharp of Stanton. They will
run Thursday.
There was considerable betting on today's
races. Judges were Shirk snd Smith. Time
keepers were Hllsebeck of Holdrege. Vsll of
Norfolk and Thomas cf Nebraska City.
H.irrison's hand from Grand Island fur

As to the championship race Thursday
there Is much speculation. Fremont claims
to have It cinched. York Is determined
to win. Seward has one of ths fastest

FREMONT, Neb., July . 8pedaJ C.
F. Shallenberger and his son, Jaks, Il'rtng
four miles from Bcrlbner, were arres'ed
yesterday on a complaint filed by Bernar-t
Monnlch, of Bcrlbner, on the chatrgs of
wlllfnllyand maliciously burning some hay
belonging to Monnlch Von Beggeren.
They waived preliminary examination and
gave ball for their appearance at the next
term of the district court. As soon as they
were released Jake was again arrested
on a peace warrant, charging him with
threatening to shoot Monnlch.
The trouble grows out of the old ease of
Shallenberger vs. Kroeger, which after hav
ing been In the district or supreme courts
In some form or other for twenty-seven
years waa decided recently by Judge Griml
son In favor of the defendanta and mak
ing the Injunction restraining Mrs. Shallen
berger from Interfering with the land per
manent. The defendants seem to have
taken the law Into their own hands, and
according to their own admissions, burned
ths hay. Jaks also admitted that be had
threatened to shoot any one coming on the
land, and In fact from all accounts bad
prepared to retain possession by as much
force as was necessary. A night In Jail
took a good deal of the sand out of him
and be agreed to keep off the land and
gave a bond with a Fremont man aa Bure
ts' to keep the peace. When the case waa
first started twenty-seven years ago ths
land, which lays slong ths Elkhorn river,
was of little value, and a fur the first trial
In the supreme court In l&tt the ease stood
on the docket of the district court for six or
seven years without being called up for
trial. The litigation has cost both aides far
more than the land is now worth and no
less than fourteen different attorneys have
at times been employed on It.
