fFrom a BUfT Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Nov. 7. (SpeclnD-The last
day of the campaign In Lincoln was one of
"quiet activity." The state headquarters
of the fusionlsts was bsrren of any visitors
and the employes were resting on their
oars. At the republican county headquar
ters the final touches were put on the
campaign and the last Instructions were
given to the workers. Chairman Walter
Roberta of the republican county commit
tee expects the usual republican majorities,
but he Is not one of the men given to an
nouncing votes until they are counted, so
did not issue a forecast. The fusionlsts.
Chairman Weber present, have not fully
recovered from the forecast made by Chair
man Allen of the other end of the aggre
gation made in the World-Herald this
morning that Berge would carry the state
by 20.000, so he snnounced that he had not
compiled any figures and would not make a
forecast.
Congressman Burkett, who has made a
tour of the state, feels that success will
crown the efforts of the republicans and
predicted that the state and legislative
tickets would come on all right. He does
not consider that President Roosevelt has
opposition.
In the state house there are very few
people left, all of the state officers snd
most of the employes having left for their
homes to vote.
Bin; Meeting at Wlndnp.
With two magnificent addrcaaes, delivered
In the presence of a throng that taxed the
capacity of the Oliver theater, by former
Senator Thurston and Congressman Bur
kett, the Lancaster republican campaign
was ended tonight. The Immense crowd
was In hearty sympathy with the speakers.
Congressman Burkett spoke first and the
burden of his talk was the revenue law
and its effect on taxpayers of the state.
It was a law, he said, the republican party
need not apologize for. It was enacted, he
said, to meet the demands of the democrat.
He followed this by citing the Increase in
the taxes of the railroads, the insurance
companies, the packing houses and other
corporations and he told these were the
Interests that wanted the law repealed.
When Senator Thurston rose to speak he
was given an ovation. People rose to their
feet and shouted and waved handkerchiefs
and continued the uproar for several min
utes. Senator Thurston talked on national
Issues. He said no former presidential can
didate had stooped so low aa to attack the
character of an opposition candidate. As
for President Roosevelt, he needed no vindi
cation from him because of the unmanly
attack; people know arid trust him. He
told of the blunders of the democratic
party. His well rounded sentences were
Intermingled with good illustrations and
stories that kept his audience in a splendid
humor.
Charles H. Morrill, national committee
man, preaidca ana preaiciea ropuDiican
success in both national and state con
tests. Several hundred Havelock people,
accompanied by a band, helped make up the
audience and a colored quartet furnished
part of the mualc.
Figures Are Misleading;.
The fusion candidates for the legislature
In this county are sending out statements
to certain taxpayers In the county, whose 1
taxes they claim have been Increased by
the new revenue law. A prominent repub
lican of this city received from them yes
terday a statement showing that his taxes
for the year 1904 upon a quarter section
of land owned by him is 137.S0, and that
this is an increase over the average of the
years 1901. 1902 and 1903 of 17.24. Since the
assessment of 1903, however, a house has
been erected on this land and other im
provements made, which has resulted In an
assessed valuation $120 higher than an ad
joining quarter section which has always
been assessed at the same, and upon which
the taxes this year are $34.66. It Is there
fore fair to say that If these Improvements
had not been made the tax upon this quar
ter section under the new law would be
$34.56.
Upon receiving this notice the owner, out
of curiosity, examined the records of taxes
during the time covered by the statement
in the circular. He found. In the first
place, the tax on this same quarter for the
year 1901 was $34.49, which la only 7 cents
less than the taxes for this year would be
without the late improvements. This land
Is worth at least $1,000 more per quarter
than It was In 1901, and he concludes that
an Increase of 7 cents In the tax, repre
senting an Increase of $1,000 In value. Is not
very oppressive.
In the Beeond place he found that the In
crease In the tax on this quarter from 1902
to 1903, both years under-the old law, was
$4.14, while the Increase from 1903 under the
old law, to 1904 under the new lam-, leaving
out the Improvements, Is $3.90. Hence the
Increase for this year, under the new law,
over the tax of last year Is not so great as
It was last year, under the old law, over
the previous year.
In the third place, the state taxes sre
considerably less than they were under tha
old law. and except for the fact that the
coanty board thought' It necessary to raise
about 30 per cent more revenue than was
raised last year the county taxes would
also have been less than under the old law.
Young Pleads Not Guilty.
James Young, the negro horseman, who
Is charged with the murder of Sam Winters
and the attempted killing of Max Wagner
last September at the state fair grounds,
was arraigned before Judge Holmes this
morning. The prisoner pleaded not. guilty.
His trial has been set for November 21.
Magooa Talks to Studeuts.
Charles E. Magoon. general counsel for
the Panama canal commission, spoke to the
students and faculty at convocation, at the
university concerning the commercial and
engineering project now under foot by
the government. A large crowd .was pres
ent to hear him and he was given a cor
dial reception. Mr. Magoon will vote In
Lincoln tomorrow.
Jewelry Store Robbed.
Burglars broke In a wludow in the front
of the Wray Jewelry store some time last
night and stole Jewelry to the amount of
$7i and left no trace of their Identity.' A
small hole was smashed In the window
with a hammer and then enlarged, suffi
ciently to allow the taking out of a oouple
af . cases of rings and watch fobs. One
case of rings was found in a nearby door
way. Employes In a restaurant nxt door
to the jewelry store were in their place of
business all night, but heard , no disturb
ance about the Jewelry stare.
