In some of the counties the Increase will
be felt. In all, the amount of revenue
t hat will be brought In exceeds the amount

for all purposes for the year under the

of representatives of everal counties were
here yesterday to make protests against
a raise. In their valuations and it was
after 4 o'clock when the board finally got
down to work. It looked like the matter
would go Over for another day at least:,
when Mr. Mortennen announced that he
would work until sundown and If the
board was not through by that time he
would quit. The board needed the wise
counsel of ' the treasurer, consequently
matters were bustled up.

Treasurer Wants Money.
State Treasurer Mtortensen intends to
start proceedings soon to secure posses
sion of a total of ten dividends that have
been declared by Captain J. E. Hill, re
ceiver for the defunct Lincoln Savings
bank, payable to "State Treasurer Joseph
S. Bartley." In an interview recently
Captain Hill Informed Treasurer Mortenscn
that he was holding the money because he
did not know whether to pay It to Bartley
or to the state, as several attorneys had
told him that the money should be paid
to Bartley. This aroused ths Ire of Mr.
Mortensen and he at once told Captain
Hill that the money should be paid to the
state treasurer and that he would fight
any attempt on his part to pay It over to
Bartley.
It is said that Mr. Mortensen made an
examination of the records In his office and
could find nothing of the transaction.
Neither Mr. Mortensen nor Captain Hill
are in the city -and it Is Impossible to get
the details of the transaction, but it is
understood the money in controversy
amounts to about $6,000. The matter was
first reported to Treasurer Mortensen, so
It Is claimed, about a month ago. .
State Treasurer Mortensen went I' Mil
ford last night, it was announced, to In
spect the new chapel for the normal school
under course of erection. The object of his
visit, however, is to investigate some re
ports as to the management of the Sol
diers' home there. Several complaints have
come in from Milford and Mr. Mortensen
wants to verify them or secure the evidence
to refute them.

STANTON HAS THE LARGEST ATTENDANCE

NORFOLK. Neb.. Aug. l-(Speclal.)
Clouded skies and threatening rain were a
feature of the afternoon of the first day of
tho twelfth annual raring tournament of
the Nebraska State Volunteer Firemen's
association, which began In Norfolk Tues
day morning to continue for three full
days. The rainy prospect, however, did not
In the least dampen the ardor of the visit
ing firemen from all over the state, and
their characteristic good cheer made It a
sunshiny day In Norfolk withal.
Among the features of the tourney are
the Harrisons, from Grand Island. They
are the members of the Harrison Concert
band, of course, and always go to the
tourneys. The hotel register starts out
with the name of the leader, Guy C. Harri
son, and Is covered for almost a page with
the names of other members of the family
sons, brothers, cousins and the like.
Secretary Miller of the board of control
Is well pleased with the turnout from all
quarters, and expresses surprise at the size
of the crowds. AH during Tuesday the
crowds continued coming. All trains
brought new delegations and by night the
streets and hotels were Jammed to the brim
with the merry visitors. Grand Island sent
good delegations, and also Kearney. Madi
son, heeded by their brass band, arrived
enmasse. Stanton has turned out In toto
and so also Pierce and Crelghton.
The Stanton champions arrived In a spe
cial train, with the town at Its back to
cheer It on. The runners declare they will
win again, but York boys Insist that when
the final race Is done the bannsr will
travel to the southern part of the stata.
The parade to start the carnival was a
gorgeous affair, in which some of the mos?
magnificent bits of uniform that have ever
assembled at a racing tourney made their
initial appearance.
The big amphitheater was crowded for
the firing of the first gun, and the track
was In excellent condition.
Norfolk avenue looku like a genuine
"Pike" for all, the world. Lined on either
side for seven blocks with street shows,
big banners, booths of the lemonade man
and the "dog4' man and the cane man, the
thoroughfare takes on a decidedly Midway
tone and keeps It going from early In the
morning of the one day until eartj- in the
motnlng of the next.
There is no gambling at the tournament.
Several of the Boneste'Sl grafters have
dropped In and tried to establish their
games, but they have been made to get out
Of town as fast as they came.
Chairman McKee of Kearney is very
much missed by those who have attended
every tourney for years. He is at home
by a very serious wound in his knee, the
result on an accident. Every new delega
tion asks "Where Is McKee?"
President Bauer of Nebraska City has ar
rived and is In charge. The local commit
tee Is taking good care of tho new arrivals.
Stanton won first prize for tho largest at

NEIGHBORS sEAHCH FOR PARMER
Belief Man Has Killed Himself While
Temporarily Out of Ills Mind.
TORK. Neb.. Aug. 2.-(Speclal.) Sixty
men, neighbors of Gerhard Tleken, are
searching corn fields, straw stacks and
out-of-the-way buildings hoping to find
Tleken, whom the neighbors believe has
lost his mind through the death of his
wife and Illness of his family. Mr. Tleken
Is a pioneer settler of Tork county and ono
of the thrifty money-making farmers and
well liked by all.
On Saturday he went to Waco, where he
was refused Intoxicating liquors, and by
force he went behind the counter and
helped himself. From here he disappeared
and the next place they learned of his
whereabouts was at he home of Henry
Btuhr. sr., a farmer living near Waco.
Tleken hid In the cellar and Mr. Stuhr,
not knowing who It was, at once got the
shotgun and would have shot Tleken only
there happened to be no loaded shell at
horns. From here he wpit to the farm of
Mr. Schlecte, and when last seen he ran
Into a corn field. AH day yesterday and
most of last night sixty neighbors huve
been looking for him and have not given
up the search. Owing to not finding any
further trace of him some believe that
Tleken has made away with himself.
About ono year ago Mr. Tleken lost his
wife, after a long Illness, and there has
been more or less sickness among his chil
dren. When he secured the liquor at Waco
