Work In Ilia A b-
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., May 8.-(Speclal Tele
tram. )-The State Board of Assessment as
sessed, the railroad property of the stats
"day without a speech having- been made
by any railroad tax agent. The Increiiiie
over tlx valuation lata year Is 1.11.
The Increase Ik confined to the Chicago,
St. Taul, Minneapolis & Omaha and the
,,Kearney, Central City and North Platte
noranchet of the Union Pacific. This make
the total full value of all railroad property
In the. state I2TS.S93.217.
The board met yesterday, but did noth
ing, as Governor Shallenberger had to go
to Emerson to deliver a political speech.
This morning the board waited an hour on
the governor, and he failed to show up.
Those present were Brian. Cowles. Junktn
and Barton. After an Informal discussion
the hoard concluded to make the assess
ment at once, and this was done. Th?
vote, was . unanimous. No other railroad
valuation m the state was changed. A.
W. Srrlbner of the t'nlon Pacific reached
the state house Just a moment after the
work had been concluded, so did not get
to deliver his speech. The following table
shows the changes:

The action of the State Board of Assess
ment today marks the shortest time on
letord that nny Nebraska board ever com
puted the valuation of this class of prop
nt, Heretofore it has been the custom
of the assessing board to listen to addresses
of railroad tax agents and spend many
weeks In consideration of the question. So
tar as the present board Is concerned It
arrived ai the conclusion that it could fix
the valuation of the property Just as well
on the leports made as It could by listen
ing to the tax agents recite their picas for
a t-fduetlon.
The buard met yesterday and would have
done the wot k at that time had Governor
Shallenberger been present, but In hla ab
sence the board postponed actio,, for one
rinj. It was expected that i"!j rnief execu
li me, would be on hand this morning, but
after Wkllng until the trains from the
northeast had arrived, the board went
ahead and did the business. Inasmuch as
the governor went to Kmerson to deliver
a political speech, thus neglecting the Im
portant work of the board, the members
concluded to waste no more time on him,
but go ahead and do the work.
This afternoon the board met again and
added to the Burlington the 9.8 miles of
new load from Lincoln to Denton. This
was valued at S25.O00 a m:le, which In
creases the total valuation that much.

There are many here who believe that
Mr. Hitchcock will finally be forced to

make the fight against his extra session

Opposition on tho part of the Omah

GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Neb., May 3.
1 Special Telegram.)-That County Clerk
George Powell raised a rec"'pt by Anna

$1" to $220, and a receipt by M!ss Florence

It was further shown that Mr. Powell has
retained the excess few of the last thie.
years, amounting to more than IfiOO, until
April 10. this year, ten days after the ex

Pi.ell's attorney, F. VV. Ashton, presented
the board with a receipt for the dlfferenvo
In the amounts claimed to have been re
ceived by the two young women and the
amounts charged on the book.
For a time today tho accountant was put
on cross-examination as to why he secured
the affidavit of Miss Sutherland to the
effect that she had received only the sum
she testified under oath to have received
and had not Investigated the receipts of
other deputies.
Later the accountant showed the receipis
signed by the young women, the amounts
being admittedly In Poell's handwriting. In
an affidavit attached to the report Miss
j Sutherland declares that when she rec 'Ived
I ho final payment she was aked by Mr.
Poell to sign the receipt In blank, which
'she did. The difference was paid by Poell
j to the county treasurer yesterday. The ac-
I countant's report, It appears, was clrse.l '

Poell's attorney declared that for some
time Mr.. Poell had been convinced that
he was .being robbed by some one in his
office, but was ready to make good the
difference as excess fees and was out Just
that amount of money. Mr. Ashton de-
dared that If a complete investigation were
had it would reveal a different state of
affairs than was Indicated on tho face of
the reports and the receipts. So far the

open on that data and every man, woman
and child In the city who has the price
may ship ii u case of beer or more and It
will be delivered to any home In Lincoln.
And the police will not interfere, and
Hfi'.ther will the Excise board and nckhcr
wlll anyone else. This In the date upon
which the repeal of Rule 12 becomes ef
factlve. At a meeting of tne Kxclse board this
morning It was demonstrated beyond a
doubt that tho members are not able for
the present to get together on any plan to
make the city wet end slill keep It dry. Mr.
I'owell still Insists that his dispensary Is
the best prcpoMtlun yet proposed, while the
mayor wants to "wait awhile." Mr. Harp
ham has not yet offered a plan.
During the discission this morning Mayor
Love turned to Mr. I'owell and said:
"I don't care anything about what you
think."
"I'm sure 1 don't give a damn for your
opinions," retorted I'owell.
Mr. Towell Insisted that Inasmuch as the
boaid would not adopt his ideas It was tip
to the mayor and Mr. Harpham to flRUie
out something better. So matters remain.
Last night Councilman Hoppe Introduced
a resolution calling on the excise board to
put more policemen to work as Mr. Hoppe's
store had been robbed twice and his home
once. The board called the chief oti the
carpet.
"Mr. Hoppe should be the la-st man to
complai about being robbed," said Malone.
"Three times he has received his money
back und every time he luv refused to
prosecute the guilty party and once refused
whtn 1 filed the complaint myself." That
settled that.
