LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 22.-The school re.
turns, which are being; mace to the office
of the state superintendent, show that
many of the rounty school authorities
have made decreases In the average levies,
but In moat coses the decreases In the rate
of taxation are not equal ty revfrnl per
cent t the Increases In the valuation, and
the result will be that the ablegate of
achool taxes will I.e In excess of the totals
for last year.
An example Is the ense of Otoe county,
which scored a per cent Increase In the
taxable valuation, tho average levy for all
the districts was reduced from 8 to 6V4
mills, a decrease of 18 jr rrnt, or slightly
more than one-third of the Increase re
ported In the taxable valuation. In no
case reported so far has the levy decreased
at the same rate as the Increase In the
valuations. The following table shows the
changes In levies and the rule of Increase
In tha valuation of each of the reporting
counties as compared with last year:

Secretary Furnas, with a staff of eljrht
clerks, opened his ofTW today In the I.ln
dell hotel lobby. Mr. Furnas says- that this
fair will be larger than last yeir's. and
that not a single stall In the live stock de-
of holding the fair will preclude the exh'bl
tlon of much matured corn", but some ghnt
stalks are promised for agricultural hall.
The showing of fruits will exceed any
thing ever seen cn the prounds, as the
atate haa a larger fruit crop than In rny
year In Its history. Unusual care has been
taken to secure superior exhibits, and the
managers have felt that with all of tho
wealth of material to choose from they can
afford to be critical.
M. W. Savage, owner of Dan Patch,
wrote for and obtained permission of the
fair managers to bring- Into the fair for
exhibition the traveling chariot of that
famous N pacer. It Is constructed on tho
lines of a first-class rullman, finished !
white and gold, with an Immense portrait

Deputy Game Warden Smith yesterday at
North Platte swore out a complaint against
William Hubbard and John Poo, who were
hunting prnlrl- chickens against tho terms
of the statue. Beforft.maklng the complaints
the deputy chased the men for a Ions: dis
tance In the environments of North Plntte,
but. the man hunt was. fruitless except to
disclose the name of one of the men, who
Is a Union Pacific passenger conductor
running west out of North Platte.
Deputy Smith was driving toward the
Platte river bridge south ct tho town, when
ho saw the two hunters, who were also In
ft carriage. He Immediately made an at
tempt to arrest the men. They fled pre
cipitately with the warden In pursuit. Four
chicken were thrown from tha vehicle,
which continued 1n Its flight, while the of
ficial atnpped to pick up the birds for use
aa evidence. Resuming the pursuit. Smith
followed the men toward the city, dodging
In and out tho various Btreets after them.
Tha people took a decided Interest in the
chase, Bnd lined the sides of the streets.
In this manner Smith Jearned the name of
one of the men and filed the complaints. A
special deputy promised to ascertain the
name of the other hunter this morning and
place the two men under arrest.
Will Not Stay Snlt.
Attorney General Prout stated this after
noon that he did not believe that tho suit
Instituted by Judge Stull for the purpose
of restraining the payment of the 8300 voted
for the conduct of the suit to test the rev
enue law would affect the course of the
latter action.
The county commissioners of that county
appropriated 8300 to pa,y the expenses of
the litigation Instituted by Church Howe
with that end In view. It was believed
when the latter suit was learned of that
It would have the effect of Maying all fur
ther action In the original Injunction Bult,
which has for Its object the testing of the
right of the state board of equalization to
make a 5 per cent Increase In the valuation
of the county.
Such a result of the latest action would
be greatly deplored by the members of the
stntc board to act as It did. The result
would be to Interfere with the collection
of personal prorty taxes, which are due
and delinquent December 1 in all of the
twenty-four counties which were Increased
by the State Hoard of Equalization.
Aa the situation Is at present, Attornev
O eneral Prout and Deputy Attorney Oon
ersl Morris Tirown will argue the state's
side of the original Injunction su't next
Friday before Judge Kelllgar of the Ne-
. muhu couniy distinct court.

tence to hang September 2 at the state

risked the warden to allow him to do some

der tho rye of tho death watch he now

The enforced Idleness of the death cell

Tho above is a summary of the damage
wrought by Saturday's tornado In various

fatally injured nearly 200 persona sustained
lnju.les ot a minor characterp.
Clearlnar Away Debris.
The city government today had a force
of 300 men at work clearing the streets of
the vast amount of debris with which they
had been strewn, gangs of linemen were
at work repairing damage to electric wires
and the wholesale houses had their em
ployea removing damaged goods and mak
ing temporary repairs to their buildings
and warehouses.
n The municipality, through the destruc
tion of bridges, school buildings, parks and
other public properties, suffered the great
est loss, its damage already approximating
$1,000,000.
In Minneapolis, where the work of 'clear
ing away the wreckage and repairing the
damage done had proceeded rapidly, the
extent of the Injury done Is not so great
as at first reported.
In neither city Is the loss adequate'y
covered by tornado Insurance. It was the
common belief of residents of the Twin
Cities that they were tornado proof.
Vllluare Illown Away.
At Waconla, a little village twenty mllea
west of Minneapolis, the tornado wrecked
almost every house. The depot was blown
away and many pleasure seekers who had
been spending the day at Coney Islr.nd
and had taken refuge from the storm In
the station, narrowly escaped death.
Three members of the Moye family were
crushed to death in the ruins of their
homes, which were totally destroyed. Tho
fourth person ki:ied was a farmer living
northwest of town. Much destruction was
done to the adjacent country.
Farm buildings were blown away and
standing corn was leveled to the earth
and much other damage was done.
The storm waa also felt In various parts
of northern Wisconsin, considerable dam
age being done to property and some per
sons being Injured.
