FIGURES ON TAX LEVY.
State Board of Equalization Holds
8esslon.
LINCOLN Tho stato board of
equalization has been In session mak
ing tentative figures to represent tho
relative position of the counties for
tho purnoso of fixing tho levy.
Several counties had representatives
beforo tho board looking after their
interests.
Tho assessment rolls show a total
of 33.408.77G acres of land returned
this year, an lncrcaso over that of
last year of CC7.586 acres. Tho aver
ago assessed valuation of improved
land is $3.91 an acre, as agalnBt $3.15
last year. Unimproved land is return
ed at an average of $1.14 this year and
$1.05 last. Tho average value of im
proved lots has been lncrcasod from
$127.7G to $128.71.
Tho number of cattlo returned this
year Ib 2,313,495, with an averago
value of $4.46 each; horses, 659,983,
with an avcrn;o value of $7.74, and
asws 3,940, with an average valuo ot
$9.40 a head.
Tho total assessment of tho stato Is
$188,458,379, an Increase of $8,481,811
over that of last year.
Of tho total valuation, Douglas coun
ty furniBhes $25,593,010.32, about one
seventh of the total.
Thoso who havo. appeared before
tho board havo been given to under
stand that they cannot hopo to get
tho assessment of last year reduced,
since tho entire levy will bo mado
on a basis of 2 mills higher than last
year. Tho principal dcslro is to get a
iovy which will comparo equitably
with the other counties of tho state.
Whllo tho board is disposed to low
er tho levy of those counties which
return a high assessed valuation, they
aim to make tho levy as grqat as pos
Blblo, and thoro aro several counties
which will got tho limit of 9 mills.
Of taxablo franchises, Nebraska has
but few, as shown by tho assessment
roils. The returns show thirty-six of
what aro known generally as public
service corporations that will pay
taxes on intangible property, com
monly known as franchises.
Bellwood Bank Pays Dividend.
M. J. Holland, who has boon receiv
er for tho Bellwood bank, which was
wrecked by A. H. Gould, the cashier,
has declared his first dividend of 5
per cent. The bank, which did a
largo business with the farmers 5r
northern Butler county, failed in
January, 1902. It is said that thcro
are some assets remaining in tho
bank, but thoy aro of doubtful value.
Tho small size of the dividend dem
onstrates the skill of Gould as a bank
wrecker.
Socialists File Ticket.
The political party known as so
cialists was tho first to file tho list
of nominees for state officers. Tho
ticket is composed of C. Christiansen,
Plattsmouth, "no business address,"
for supreme Judge; F. S. Wilber, Om
aha, and F. B. Llpplncott, Blair, re

EASY FOR IOWA FISHERS.
Fine Amounts to Much Less Than Li
cense Fee.
LINCOLN Game Warden McCon
noll has reported tho case ot a num
ber of Sioux City parties who woro
arrested at Dakota City for fishing
without a license. They were taken
before a local justice, who fined them
$1 and costs, much to their own satis
faction and tho discomfort of tho
game warden, as they could afford to
bo fined several times and then get
their fishing cheaper than by paying
tho license fee. The customary
amount of fines for these offenses is
tho amount of the license with the
costs added.
Chief Deputy Carter thinks tho
poachers should ha,ve been fined at
least the amount of the license fee.
Ho says Iowans especially should not
object to paying this fee, as the state
has a .similar law costing Nebraska
hunters $10 per county to hunt quail
in Iowa.
Fees of Bank Examiners.
The state treasury has received Its
first fee for hank examinations undor
tho new law. Tho last legislature en
acted a law fixing tho salaries of bank
examiners at $1800, and requires
them to turn all fees Into the state
treasury. Tho feo was paid by tho
Frenchman Valle" bank at Palisade.
Bank cxamlnors hitherto havo been
allowed all feos up. to $2,000 a year.
It is said that the fees rarcli went
above that figure.

A naval offlQor recently returned

story about a derelict which has been
floating around tho Eastern sea. Tho
Fannio Kerr is a four-masted bark of

The Bachelcr Bon.
"Thero was never yet a bachelor of
forty whose heart has not been at
"some woman's feet to take or leave,
as sho would," says a well-known
writer, and tills, generally speaking,
is absolutely true. However, thero is
ono typo of man, a very rare one for
tunately, who from a mixture of cold
love of Bolf and miserliness rigidly
eschews matrimony.
Of such a one the story is told that,
being on one occasion somewhat im
pressed by tho bright eyes and red
lips of a certain damsel, he gave somo
thought to tho married stato and pon
dered over tho advisability of entering
It. Racked with doubt, he ordered a
meat plo to bo; prepared, and on its
appearance divided it in half. There
was ample! Then tho reflection
crossed his mind that in course of
time a' subdivision might bo neces
sary. Tho portions wero divided by
a tremulous hand Into two. He look
ed, hesitated and scraped them all
on to his own plate. The damsel had
to find another lover.
The Pitcher.
The pitcher takes a telling pose,
And holds the ball on high,
Then turns It with his finger tips,
His new ln-curve to try.
Then swiftly swings his strong- right arm-
The vicious deed is donel
The umplro dodges skillfully
And hoarsely shouts: "Ba-all ono!"
The pitcher takes his poso again,
Both feet nrm on the ground.
Again he holds the bull on high,
And slowly turns it round.
Then once more he uncoils himself,
The batsman to undo,
The ball smacks in the catcher's glove,
Tho umpire shouts: "Ba-all two!"
Tho pitcher fiercely grinds his heel
In desperation grim.
Onco more he holds tho ball on high.
All eyes aro fixed on him.
Onco more he swiftly lets It drive .
Then fiercely slaps his knee
Because the umpire coldly cries,
In foghorn tonos: "Ba-all three!"
Tho pitcher's faco la firm and set,
A wild gleam In his cyo
Shows his determination, as
lie holds the ball on high,
lie hurls It In the bat swings round
And meets U with a thud!
The ball soars o'or the left-Held fence!
Tho pitcher's name Is mudr
