GIVE RAILROADS HEARING
Tuesday Bute Board of Assessment Will Be
Beady for Them.
NO REDUCTION IN ASSESSMENT LIKELY
Majority of Board of Opinion Yalna
tloa Last Year Was ftone Too
High and la Fart Rather Fell
Below Correct Figure.
(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 10. (Special ) The State
Board of Equalisation and Assessment will
hold no more meeting until next Tuesday
and at that time the representatives of
the various railroad of the state will
have an opportunity to tell the board Just
how It- should be done and why their as
sessments should be lowered. This will be
the first big meeting the board has held and
It Is presumed that others besides railroad
men will do some talking.
The board so far has been working very
harmoniously, that Is, Governor Mickey,
Treasurer Mortenscn and Auditor Searle
are very much of the ame mind. Member
Oalusha and Eaton having been absent
during most of the meetings. The majority
members are pegging away on the theory
that the stocks and bonds or the net earn
ings capitalized Is a very good way to get
at the valuation of the roads, and this Is
the way the roads will finally be valued.
The board has already made tentative fig
ures for most of the roads, but, of course,
these will all be changed before the final
signatures are put to the document, but
there 1 little doubt but the valuation will
be fully a much and probably mora than
was returned last year.
The board has a growing belief that the
Injunction suits filed by the railroads to
prevent the collection of their taxes had
for one of it objects the frightening of the
board to compel the member to reduce the
railroad assessments. As a result some
member of the board will refuse to be
cared. They are saying that If the as
sessments are to be held up there Is no use
In reducing the assessment, especially when
the board believes that the assessment
made last year was none too high.
In the meantime the governor 1 still re
ceiving requests for a special session of
the legislature for the purpose of enacting
rate legislation. One member who voted
against the rate bill during the late ses
sion said he had been compelled to do so
because the railroad representative said
if he did not they would kill the appropri
ation wanted by hi town. Now, he said,
that he had gone home, his people refused
to associate with him and he wanted to
come bark and get one more chance, and
when unhampered would vote for a rate
bill. All this Is going to encourage the
board to fix a proper valuation on railroad
property.
General Daggett to Go West.
Brigadier General Daggett. V. S. A., re
tired, who for the last year has been In
.lncoln as the aide of Adjutant General
Culver In raising the standard of the Na

Still Alive and Kicking;.
Falrbury still has a company of soldier
boys and in the near future expects to be
doing things along with the best of them,
notwithstanding the company there In
tended to be mustered out a short time
ago. Adjutant General Culver received
word yesterday that the company was ta li
ng in a lot of new recruits and would be
up to the scratch required by the military
law of the country.
at Jomrmal Compiled.
Secretary Wheeler, Aeaistant Secretary
Gouldlng and Miss Elsie Goldner have com
pleted their -work of compiling the Journal
of the senate and today turned the copy
over to the printer and their records over
to the secretary of state.
James J. Roberts, who Is compiling the
copy for the session laws, has discovered
that H. R. 244, which provides for the pre
vention of the killing of foreign game birds,
has a title much smaller than the body of
the bill, consequently there Is a question
a to It constitutionality. While the title
only states that the bill Is an act to pre
vent the destruction of these birds the bill
goes on to say what the pflnlshment I
hould the act be violated.
Bidder for Convict Labor.
The State Board of Public Lands and
Buildings will have an opportunity in
few days to Install an overall factory at
the state penitentiary. The chairman of
the board has received a letter from an
overall manufacturer of Chicago announc
ing that he Intends to file a bid for the con
vlct labor, and if he was successful he
would make overalls. However, he wanted
the board to install the plant, and if the
state had not the money available for that
purpose he said he would lease It the plant.
The proprietor of a trunk factory at Mln
neapolls ha written to the board for In
formation regarding convict labor and
probably will file a bid.

lodge meeting of the Knight of Pythias.

several Important matter of legislation
advocated by the bead of the order were
voted down. Among them was the prop
osition to Increase th annual salary of
the grand chancellor from $500 to $1,000. A
strong sentiment waa developed against
this move. Another subject that lost out
was a warmly urged increase of the
minimum Initttatton fee from $15 to $30. The
grand chancellor's suggestion to advance
the semi-annual per capita tax from 90
centa to 60 cents was compromised, the
figure being fixed at 10 cents.
Practically the whole morning was given
up to the consideration of minor legisla
tion. It was decided to Instruct delegates
to the supreme lodge to vote against prop
ositions to lessen the age limit to 18 years
and to leave the fixing of minimum admis
sion fees to the discretion of each grand
domain so far as its own territory Is con
cerned. This action was in line with the
grand chancellor's views.

Western Star lodge was first created by a
dispensation granted May 10, 1855. by the
grand secretary of the First Masonic dis
trict and was then known as Olddlngs
lodge N. D. The first officers of the lodgo
were: N. B. Glddings, worthy master; C.

style of biddings lodge No. 156. It worked
under this charter until September 23, 1867,
when the grand lodge of Nebraska was
formed In Omaha, N. T., and Glddings lodge
was placed on the books of the grand lodge
of Nebraska as Western Star lodge No. 2.
A short time after the organization of the
lodge a lodge room was built, which waa
destroyed by fire on May 12, 1WU. All of the
charter books, emblems, records and furni
ture were destroyed. In 1851 the present
