LINCOLN, July W-tSpial Telegram)
The atatehous will witness the largest ag
gregation of kicker next week that ha ever
assembled there. The Board of Equalisa
tion then meets to adjust the valuations
between countlea and the Indications are
promising that . not a single county will
be without representation either to argue
Against an Jncresse or to demand a raise
Jn the valuations of neighboring coun
tlea. While the board hoa yet to deter
mine upon n formal plan of procedure
It la Intimated that the consideration of
counties will be taken tip In their alpha
betical order. Adama being taken up first.
The entire galaxy of railway representa
tives which enlivened the sessions of the
board when It was taxing railways will be
represented at one time or another during
the hearing, demanllng that counties which
bave not been raised In the same ratio
as the railwaya be equalised up. Douglas
county, which la regarded by the membera
of the board aa the ehtef offender, will
core the tieavtoet Increase, although ft la
claimed on behalf of that county that Its
real estate was assessed up -to the limit
last year.
The members of the board are standing
on doubtful ground Just at this time, and
little Is given out as to the course to be
pursued beyond the statement of the gover
nor that the various counties would be
brought up to their full valuations, without
fear or favor. It la the governor's wider
standing and that of several other mem
bers of the board that It has the right
to rihse one or all without respect to the
valuation of others, the sole object being
to bring them all up to the true value.
Enter Railroads.
It Is at thla Juncture that the railway
become Interested parties. Borne members
of the board bellcva. that It will be Im
possible m Increasing tbe valuations of
the various counties, to bring them up to
the cash standard to avoid adding the In
crease to the railways also. The section
of tha statute which frfrms the basis for
the board's action provide that the
amount which I to be added to or de
ducted from a county's valuation to bring
It to the fair caah value level, shall be
distributed to all species of property In
the same percentage. This means, some
railway men believe, that tbe countlea will
add the percenrtage to railway values. In
the same manner as to other species of
property. In such event an Increase of 10
per cent In a county would mean that the
railway which la already assessed at 69
percent Increase over-laet year's figures
would have to submit to an additional
raise of 10 per cent. This Is what the
railways are fearful of.
On the other hand, many of those who
are Interacted In the matter of fair rail
way taxation Insist that this feature of
tha. law will fore the. board to add enough
to the valuatlona of the carrying Interests
to bring them t at level Indicated by
stock and bond., whjch would have been
close to GO,000,000.

Tha figured w'hlch are, being complied by
Land Commissioner Follmer to show the
ale values of lands sold n, 1803 are ex
peoUit.i tV-.lw'H that '' to a ' consfderanl
number of countlea real . estate haa not
been Uated at anything like the market
value. 'A compilation from Kimball county
showing eoms twenty trajisactlona shows
an aggregate assessment equal to .43 per
cent of the aggregate sale values of the
lands covered In the compilation, Instead
of the 30 per cent required by the statute.
Dawes .county returns to the board Indi
cate that the total valuation ha been
rained from 11.111,890.23 to 1,SS3.U4.S2. and
of this increase WT.I24 has been due to the
new railroad assessment, while 114,100.0 I
attributed to the work of , the local asses-,
aors. The average assessment of land ha
been deoreaced from M to M.7 cents. Me
Thqrson county na taken a slump from

43 per cent. The total valuation last year

Adjutant General Culver announced to
day that he will be able to announce the
location of the National Guard encamp
ment some time this week. David City,
Seward, - Wahoo and other places are in
the bidding and the adjutant general will
make a tour this week for the purpose of
determining which places offer the best
facilities for the maneuver of the brigade.
The primary consideration In the choice of
a drill ground will be the number of ad
vantages offered for drill and maneuver?.
Thla makes It certafh that the town which
wins out will have to offer the use of con
lderable land: Rough land will be the
most acceptable since It will be easier to
secure actual service conditions In such
environment. Some of the bliift land near
the Flatte may be chosen ultimately.

ALBION, July 13. Albion has been a
"dry" city for the last two yeara and vio

rather expensive business, although Juries
have failed to convict in some cases. About
two weeks ago the officers detected two
barrels of wine In a coal shed and the
same was taken under a search warrant.
The owner of the shed, however, disclaimed
ownership of the liquor and says the build
ing was rented to a local drug firm. A
hearing will be had and It now looks as If
the chief of police will have two barrels
of wine that no one Is anxious to claim.
Jacob Long had a preliminary hearing
Monday on the charge of keeping intoxi
cating liquor, with the Intent of unlawfully
