An Informal reception was tendered by
the faculty of the Omaha Theological semi
nary to the. friends of the seminary In
honor of the graduating class last evening.
The attendance Included a large number of
men and women, representing the various
Presbyterian churches of the city.
President Lowrle wan assisted in the re
i ptlon of his guests by other members of
the faculty. Rev. Kdwln liart Jenks and
others. The visitors were shown over the
remlnary. through the dormitories In the
upper floors, the ntudy rooms, lecture rooms
nnd libraries on the first floor, and many
were the expressions of surprise at the ex
tent of the institution and Its admirable
adaptability for the purposes intended. An
hour wss passed In inspecting the building
and when the visitors were assembled In
the lecture room, where a short program
was given. The program opened with a
tharming violin solo by Miss Mamie Cahlll.
President Matthew B. Lowrle then deliv
ered a short address of welcome to the visi
tors, and gave a brief history of the origin
nnd work of the seminary during the four
teen year with which he had been con
nected with It. "The Institution," he said.
is both . a general and local one. As a
local Institution we should show our appre
ciation of It and give It our moral, material
and spiritual support. It Is worthy of our
best endeavors and Is destined In time to
become one of the great theological semi
naries of the country."
Opportunities of the School.
President B. VanDike Wight of the Hast
ings college spoke of the growth of the
Omaha seminary and the splendid territory
I'. had to draw from for material In the
mstter of students.
Mis Cahlll then gave another violin solo.
sfter which Rev. Charles Herron of the
board of trustees of the seminary and pro
fessor" of Biblical history, pleaded In Justi
fication of the existence and location of the
seminary In Omaha, Its success and the fact
that it was the only Presbyterian seminary
between Chicago and San Francisco. He
said that It was more desirable to have
these seminaries, located In the larger
rather than In the 'smaller cities, because
It brings the Students Into closer contact
with the big realities of life and Imbues
them with a thought of greater helpfulness
for thetr fellow men and enables them to
take hold of affairs at the right end.
Charles F. Koehler, one of the graduates,
spoke of the pleasant associations con
neljted wtUin th rnlnary. He said the
grsduatcs will carry away with them some.
thinr more, than a mere memory, and that
was the character and Impulse Instilled Into
them by the faculty of the seminary. What
ever work they may accomplish In tha f.
ture. this faculty will be partners In that
work, for It -was the thoughts and Impulses
given the class by the faculty that was
working within them. They were men wh
stood strongly and squarely upon tha truth
of God.
Miss Cahlll concluded the program with
another violin solo, after which refresh
r.ents of Ice cream, cake and lemonade
were served. The remainder of the evening
was given over to social greetings.

Planted.
LINCOLN. May 2.-t8pcclal.)-The past
week has been cold, with a mean dally tem
perature about 1 degree below the normal.
The rainfall has been above normal gen
erally and exceeded one inch In most coun
ties and exceeded two Inches in several
central and eastern couatlea
The rains of the week were beneficial to
vegetation generally. The wet condition of
the, soil prevented work in the fields for
nearly half of the week. Plowing for corn
Is nearly finished In central and southern
counties and Is well advanced In northern.
A little corn was planted in southern coun- '
ties, but the cold, wet condition of the soil
prevented much progress even In southern
counties.
Winter wheat continues In excellent con
dition. Oats have grown rather slowly, but
are recovering nicely from the effects of
the freeiing weather. Grass continues to
grow slowly and Is backward In northern
and northwestern counties. Fruit gener
ally Is less damaged than was at first sup
posed. Apple trees are blossoming very
full in southeastern counties, and a few
peach blossoms have appeared.
The Burlington rrop report Just Issued
shows that the country on the lines west
of the Missouri, and especially in Nebraska,
is in a most prosperous condition. It
rained neirly five days last week in Ne
braska, the fall In the McCook division be
ing from two to four inches. The soli Is
In excellent condition and the streams and
reservoirs from which water is taken for
Irrigation puropses are full. There was ho
frost.
The winter wheat showed good growth
during the week and nothing at all un
favorable has so far developed. The ground
Is practically all prepared for coin and
some .has been planted on the McCook divi
sion and on the Concordia branch of the
Wymore division, with prospects for a
large planting this week.
No sugar beets have been put in the
ground yet. but the ground is being pre
pared, which Indicates an Increased acre
age over last year. Alfalta is beginning to
grow rapidly. -
Oats are in excellent condition. Although
some were frosted by ths cold snap of the
week of April Zi, there was no material
damage done.
The report says there is no prospect for
plums, peaches and apricots, but that the
prospects are good for apples, cherries and
small fruit.
The stock Is not In as good condition as It
generally is and this Is due to the continued
cold In January.
In Wyoming there Is considerable small
grain being planted and the acreage for
corn will be about the same as it was last
year. ,
; Cattle on the ranges are In good condition
ana the sheep shearing In Wyoming and
Montana is now In progress and some wool
Is beginning to move, the slip being heavy.
At Stirling and on tha Guernsey line there
Is a large acreage of sugar beets being
planted.

(By a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., May 2.-tSpeelal.)-To-day
the Btate Boiird of Equalisation de
cided to stand by Secretary Bennett's
circular catling for a computation of grain
dealers' average capital by taking the
total purchases for a year and dividing
by twenty-four. The board also listened
to the plea of T. A. Polleys, tax com
missioner for the Omaha road for a reduc
tion of its assessment from $.S,S0O to $7,000
a mile, and practically concluded to leave
the assessment of the Pullman company
where It was last year.
This last work was done with open doors,
a very unusual proceeding for that body,
and one Indicating a desire to defer in
a measure to the demands of the public
that It be permitted to know that there
is no Juggling with the figures, and to
become acquainted with the method of
combination employed. Mortenson sug
gested that there was no need to study
over the Pullman statement because under
the law the company could not be taxed
on Its franchise. He said he was sorry
because he thought the company ought
to be increased from 50 to 1K per cent,
but that matter would have to await a
legislative amendment to the present law.
He said that he had not made a formal
motion, and Galusha offered one, but Searle
asked for time to study the statement in
order to find out what It meant, asking
the secretary of state If he knew.
"No," replied that official, nor would I
understand it in forty years, nor would
anyone else. Mnrtensen pointed out that
through the deficiency in the statute, the
company's meager statement complied
with the legal requirements. The assess
ment last year was $13,000.
Rale for Grain Men.
At a hearing granted the representatives
of all the largo grain purchasing Interests
of the state, who wanted to advise the
board as to the proper method of compu
ting the average cap'lal, considerable dl
versity of opinion developed and the board
finally intimated that It would stand by
Bennett's circular requiring the division of
the year's business by twenty-four. Ben
nett says that as nearly as he can approxi
mate grain men do business about twenty
four weeks out of the year and turn their
capital over once a week. He admits that
the rule Is arbitrary, but says that some
thing must be supplied to muke up for the
deficiency of the statute. County Assessor
Miller of Lancaster county has been as
sessing grain men's capital on the assump
tion that a division by twenty would give
a fair average.
To Tax Fraternals.
Today State Treasurer Morlensen intro-
duced a resolution under which the board
would instruct assessors to assess the
property of fraternal companies except
where expressly exempt under the stat
utes. Secretary of State Galusha, who Is
an officer o'i tne Ancient uraer or unuea
Workmen, opposed the resolution with
much vigor, declaring that schools and fair
associations, as well as other interests,
were exempted from taxation on their
holdings.
Tax Commissioner T. A. Polleys of the
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
road appeared before the board with a re
quest for a decrease In Its taxes on the
ground that the mileage In Nebraska Is
not. In equipment, roadbed or earning capa
(Bsu". equal in value to the mileage in other
states. He declares that the board pro
rated the total value last year without
taking that fact Into consideration.
Election Un Case Filed.
Today Chief Justice Holcomb granted
Orpheus B. Polk, a Lincoln attorney, an
alternative writ of mandamus compelling
Secretary of State Galusha to appear at
10 o'clock in the morning, and show cause
why he should not place on file a certi
ficate of nomination, offered by the re
lator. By agreement of attorneys the case,
which is a formal one, made up for the
purpose of testing house roll 235. the bien
nial election law, will be for hearing at
the first sitting In June. This was done
to give the numerous friends of the court
who desire to be heard an opportunity To
file briefs. Attorney General Brown filed
a formal demurrer denying the sufficiency
of the petition, and setting up the fact
that under the law there will he no elec
tion in , the year 1905. Although Brown is
formally the attorney who wl'.l defend the
law. the major portion of that work will
necessarily fall on the friends of the court.
The relator alleges tl.at he has pre
sented a formal certificate of nomination
for regent of the university and that its
acceptance was refused. He asserts that
he Is an Independent republican candidate
for the place. Polk had intended to Ini
tiate the proceedings by offering a certi
ficate of nomination for the county Judge
Khlp with County Clerk Dawson, but that
official Intimated that he would probably
accept It for filing. In his petition for a
writ of mandamus, the following count
sets out the theory on which the case will
be conducted
Relator alleges that said act Is unconsti
tutional nn.l void for the reason that it
violates section 13 of article xvl of the con
stitution, which provides that elections shall
be held annually: that it violates section
13 of article xvi of the constitution because
said section provides thet the election of
regents. Judges of the supreme and district
nnd county courts and certain other officers
therein named shall take place on the odd
years, and it violates section 1 of artlcln
v of the constitution, which provides that
officers of the state executive department
shall alone be ele"tel on the even years:
that said act Is In conflict with tha consti
tution for the further reason that section
4 of article vl provides that the term of
office of the supreme Judges shall be six
years, r.nd said act In nuestlon extends the
terms of each of the jpdges of the supreme
court to seven years; that It violates sec
tion 10 of article vlll of the constitution,
which provides that the term of office of
regents shsll be six years, and the act In
question extends the term of the Incumbent
regents to seven years.
The alternative writ Is as follows:
Now, therefore, we helnr. willing that full
and complete lustl-e should be done In the
premises, do command vou that you re
ceive nnd file the crtificate of relator and.
place his name on the ballot at the general
election to be held November 7. 1S06. as a
candidate for the office of regent of the
university, or that you appear before the
supreme court in the city of Lincoln on
the 3d day of Mav, 1906. at the hour of 19
o'clock a. in. and show cause why you
should refuse to do so.
Both Secretary of State v Oalusha and
Deputy Secretary of State Fred Miller de
nied that the Polk certificate had been pre
sented to them. The case Is purely formal
and for Its purposes It Is stated by those
interested In the determination of the ques
tion Galusha Is willing to stand by the
allegation that he refused to receive the
document. The friends of the biennial elec
tion bill are already predicting that the
court will be obliged to reject the suit be.
cause the Issue Is formal and does not In
volve a substantial right. On the other
hand. It is claimed that the court, because
of the great public Importance of the ques
tions Involved, will assume Jurisdiction ant
render a decision on the points involved.

ot Entirely Satisfied.
The ruling of the attorney general as to
the taxation of collateral Is not giving
entire satisfaction. A member of the State
Board of Equalisation said that It would
result In decreasing the assessment roll,
because hitherto the person pledging col
lateral was required to pay taxes on the
full amount and also on the money secured
a." a loan, while under the new ruling the
liability for taxes extends only to the
amount by which the collateral exceeds In
value the loan. Deputy Attorney General
Thompson stated today that this was the
only ruling he could make, since other
wise It would result In double taxation.
Norfolk Bnlldlnas Accepted.
The State Board of Public Lands and
Buildings has finally accepted the new
buildings at the Norfolk nsylum, over
which there has been considerable con
troversy because of alleged defects In the
ceilings. The contractor, the Capital City
Brick and Tile company of Des Moines,
agreed to give J500 for the construction of
a new celling, and the board remitted the
penalty of 125 a day for the delay In the
completion of the buildings, which, would,
after allowances had been made for vari
ous delays, have amounted to more than
$2,000. It was remitted on tho theory, so
Secretary of State Galusha says, that the
former board In letting the contract had
agreed to give the contractor the material
In the old buildings and that In conse
quence he would have a claim against the
state for $10,000. It was this latter claim
which aroused the Ire of Treasurer Mor
tensen last fall. The bid of the Nichols
Roofing company to repair roofs at the
penitentiary for $700 was accepted.
I.ndden Cannot Come.
Rev. L. P. Ludden will not reach Lin

received this morning by State Superin
tendent McBrien. This will make the
board meeting set for May -5 continue in
deadlock, and he is noweasting about for
some method wherebV It' may be obviated.
One suggestion Is that he can allow tho
absent member to vote by telegraph, fol
lowing the precedent established by Chief
Justice Holcomb In telegraphing Stays of
sentence. On the other hand, this scheme
meets with opposition on the ground that
a vote cast when a member In his own
proper person was not present would be
invalid. The board meeting mny be ad

to allow Ludden to participate In the se
