WASHINGTON, June 9. (Special Tele
gramsRepresentative Klnkald of the Sixth
district and Jamci C. Dahlmann of Omaha
left this morning; for the west. Representa
tive Klnkald and Mr. Dahlmann came to
Washington In the Interest of Frank Curry
& Co., of Crawford, Neb., who early last
spring secured the contract for delivery of
49,777 head of beef catle and 200 bulls for
use of the Indians of the Rosebud agency.
It now appears that Curry & Co. have not
as yet been able to fulfill their contract and
cattle which they contracted to deliver on
or before May 16 are not forthcoming. The
penalty for the non-dcllvery of the cattle,
ss per contract. It Is said, amounts to
nearly H.0O0 a day, and as now twenty-flve
days have elapsed since the last day for
fulfillment of the contract, about $25,000 is
now charged against, the contractors. It
was for the purpose of talking with Secre
tary Hltchoock In an effort to Induce him
to suspend the penalties mentioned that
Representative Klnkald accompanied Mr.
Dahlmann to Washington, Dahlmann being,
It Is said, a partner In the Curry concern.
The contractors allege that It was lmpos
llble for them to deliver the cattle because
f the excessive and unusually severe snow
Itorms which prevailed In Nebraska and
the Dukotas at the time they had con
tracted to deliver. This reason Secretary
Hitchcock is not Inclined to consider a
ralld and good one. He Intends to hold
Messrs. Curry & Co. on their bond to the
Itrlct letter of their contract and collect
the penalty for failure to deliver the cattle
ta agreed.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., June .-(8peclal.)
"The railroads are the greatest barrier to
the enforcement of the new revenue law
In the state. I am ashamed of you. Why
don't you ray your taxesT Thousands of
Individuals had their tuxes Increased by the
new revenue law and they jmld their
taxes. If this thing keeps US' there will
be a revolt as sure as you live. You rail
road men are cutting your own throats."
This was among the things Governor
Mickey remarked to Tax Commissioner
Pollard of the Burlington this afternoon,
at a meeting of the State Board of As
sessment, which was marked by several
such conversational engagements. Mr. Pol
lard came her at the request of the board
to aB.ilst In finding a way to distribute the
valuation of the various corporations of the
Burlington along the mileage In a manner
that would be fair and just to all the towns
along the lines. The board desired to get
Mr. Pollard to allow It to take a line
and value It from one town to another at a
certain rate and then If the next division
was of a higher or a lower valuation to
change the assessment to correspond. Mr.
Pollard, however, would not waive his
right to go Into court on this manner of
assessment. Instead, he refused to say
what he would do under the circumstances
should the assessment not suit htm.
The meeting was also marked by a little
spat between Searle and Galusha. Pollard
mado the statement that the assessment
of the Republican Valley road was out
rageous, and demanded to know how the
board reached such a decision. This road
runs through Qalusha's home country.
"I have tried to find out that from the
old members," said Galusha, "but they
can't tell me."
'Well, I have asked you for figures and
asked you to help on this assessment," re
plied Searle, "but you won't give any ad
vice and neither will you come to the meetings."
"Well, If you keep fussing around like
you have been, I don't care whether I ever
como to tho meetings," said Galusha, and
a few minutes later he was called out.
Oovernor and Pollard Lock Horns.
At the conclusion of the board meeting
Oovernor Mickey and Pollard had a rather
heated conversation, during which Pollard
complained that the newspapers had worked
up sentiment against the railroads and had
compelled the board to increase their assess
ment last year.
"Every paper In the state," he said, "has
Jumped on the railroads. Edward Rose
water has fought us so hard and he has set
himself up as such a model that thousands
of people out over Nebraska believe the sun
sets on him. We have no way to reply to
this. If we tried to run a newspaper within
six months everybody would claim It was a
railroad organ. Just to show you how un
fair they are. The Bee, which claims to be
one of the most reliable papers, published
that General Manderson had been here last
Wednesday, when this board knows he was
not here."
"No raper has ever Influenced me," said
Governor Mickey.
It was later stated by Governor Mickey
that General Manderson had been requested
to come before the board Wednesday and
the announcement was made that he was
coming, but that Instead of coming he
wrote a letter that he had to go east.
Insofar as accomplishing anything Is con
cerned today the board meeting was a fail
ure. Mr. Pollard refused to say whether he
would go Into court If the board divided up
his separate corporations, but ho filed a
letter with the board quoting the section
of the statute reading: "The valuation of
each mile to be determined by dividing the
whole number of miles of the main track
of each road or line."
Commenting on that section the letter
said: "The board in the past has evidently
ignored the provision of the statutes as the
branch lines of the Union Pacific, Rock
Island and Missouri Pacific are assessed at
different rates per mile from their main
line, although they are each Incorporated
as one company and do not have separate
corporate divisions such as we have."
In conclusion Mr. Pollard said: "If the
board would give us a 30 per cent reduction
maybe we would pay our taxes."
"How do you know but what we will give
you a 10 per cent reduction," said Morten
sen. "Ten per cent? I said 80 per cent," hastily
replied Pollard.
During the discussion both Pollard and
Mortensen got pretty well worked up, the
former because the board Jumped onto him
for not furnishing more Information and
the latter because the board Jumped onto
him. All parties quit In a good humor, said
they were only trying to do their duty and
all passed off without trouble.
Parental BlrssZnc Waiting;.
The marriage of Miss Edna Church
daughter of State Oil Inspector Church
and Mr. McCabe of Council Bluffs Wednes
day evening was pulled off without the aid
or consent of the state oil inspector, Mrs.
Church or the mother of the groom, though
Mrs. Church was present under duress
For rome weeks Mr. Church had been In
possession of a hunch that the young
couple contemplated matrimony and so he
flatly set his foot down on the nuptials, not
becuuse he had any objections to the young
man in the case, but because he thought
the young puir were too young to start
on the matrimonial voyage, the bride being
17 and the groom 21. The mother of the
groom Just as emphatically demanded that
her son wait awhile. The young couple
Just as emphatically served notice that
they intended to get married. The first of
the week Mrs. and Miss Church went to
Omaha to visit relatives There they were
Joined by young McCabe. The two young
people then very considerately Invited Mrs.
Church to their wedding, giving her to
understand the marriage was to take place
and how glad they would be to have her
present. She went.
The young couple are now at the Millard
hotel in Omaha waiting fearfully for the
wrath of Papa-Church to descend, but, as
a quiet tip, tha wrath won t descend. In
stead, when they come to Lincoln the
state oil Inspector will open his arms a
mile wide to receive them.
"I forbade the wedding." he said, "because
they are too young, but r told them that
If the mother of the young man would
come to Lincoln and give her consent, I
would give them a wedding at home, but
the boy concluded his mother wouldn't do
that, so they ran off. Blame themT Of
course I don't I would have done the
same thing myself If my people had ob
jected to me getting married."
Inasmuch as the bride has proven that
she Is a "chip off the old block" Mr. Church
Is willing to hand out the usual blessings.
The groom Is a student In the law depart
ment of the university and Is well and
favcrably known in Lincoln.
Will Kot Excrete Himself.
Though frank Barker, the murderer of his
brother and hi sister-in-law, may be ex
ecuted next Friday. Barker will not press
the but tun that will send blm into enter-
nlty, notwithstanding the published reports
to that effect. arden Beemer said yester
day that he had never for a moment con-
suierea allowing narKer to he his own
hangman, but that In a conversation with
a reporter the matter had been mentioned
casually. This, together with the known
aversion Mr. Beemer has to executions In
the penitentiary, together with the Imnglna
tlon of the reporter, caused the publication
of stories all over the United States that
the warden of the Nebraska penitentiary
Intended to force a condemned man to
commit suicide. A few days ago Warden
Beemer received a letter from a party In
Pennsylvania denouncing him and the peo
ple of Nebraska In the strongest terms for
allowing a condemned man to become his
own executioner. Inclosed with the letter
was a newspaper clipping telling ho
Barker had pressed the button and sent
himself Into the other world. In reply the
warde'n announced that Barker still lived
and that he would not have to hang him
self.
In the meantime Judge Hamer. attorney
for Barker, believes the condemned man
Is Insane, and this belief Is shared by
arden Beemer. Judge Hamer Intends
to appeal to the district court for a hear
Ing before a Jury on the question of the
man's sanity. According to the statutes
Warden Beemer must sign the request for
the heating, but It does not say another
party cannot sign the appeal.
Preparing; for Officers' School.
School for the officers of the Nebraska
National Guard will be held In representa
tive hall here from June 12 to 15 with Cap
tain Cronln of the Twenty-fifth Infantry
as Instructor. Following the school, ex
aminations will be held for commissions.
Colonel Blunt, author of "Small Arms
Practice," stationed at Rock Island, was
Invited to be present, but owing to a press
of business at this time he could not ac
cept the Invitation. It Is expected, how
ever, that General Daggett will read a
paper and other well known military men
will contribute something to help make
the school a success.
Holds Company to Bid.
The State Board of Education, which was
in session today, indicated to the Western
Electrical company of Omaha that It would
have to comply with Its bd to furnish
equipment at the Kearney Normal for $3,900
or forfeit the deposit of $300. The company
notified the architect that the contract price
was $5,, 00, about $1,800 In excess of the bid
price.
County Wants Compromise.
A reminder of the hard times era was
brought to notice today by the application
of Hitchcock county to effect a compromise
with the Btate In the settlement of the sus
pended account due from that county. The
total amount was $4,806.67, representing col
lections of state taxes lost In three deposi
tory banks which failed. These institutions
were the Bank of Trenton, the Hitchcock
County bank of Culbertson and the Bank of
Stratton. The county now has been able to
effect a settlement and has asked the state
board of compromise, consisting of the
treasurer, auditor and attorney general, to
consider the question of a settlement. That
body examined the application and ordered
county treasury examiner to look Into
tne accounts. Pending a report from the
examiner nothing will be done.

Use What You Want-
Keep the Rest in the Packag
Do you realize the advantage of buying butter
in a package which perfectly preserves it a part as
well as a whole?
the best butter made is packed at the
creamery, as soon as made, in an air-tight and odor
proof package, which keeps it perfectly. You may
use a part, keep the rest in the package and it will
continue to retain all the sweetness and aroma of
freshly-made butter. Ask your dealer for Meadow
Gold Butter.
