Xo Tax for HIkIi Sclifiol.
A decision of much importance to
cities wherein high schools are lo
cnted was handed down by the su
preme court Wednesday in the case
of the state ex rel Davis against the
county commissioners of Cass
county. Davis brought suit to com
pel the county commissioners to levy
a tax on the country districts with
which to pay the tuition of the
country boys who were attending the
high schools. The court held that an
adjunct school district had to be
formed by the concerted action of
all the school districts in the county
and the failure of any one district to
vote on the question would invalidate
the action of the others. It further
held that there were no means where
by thus proposition' could again be
. (submitted because the law provided
that moderators of districts should
have power to submit the question to
electors only at the school election
immediately succeeding the passage
of the law.
An to Deficiency .TinlKmeiitn.
In the case of Burrow against
Vanderburgh, from Webster county,
the supreme court passes upon a
question that has been in dispute for
some time. Prior to 1897 if a mort
gaged property did not bring at
forced sale suttlcient to pay the Hen
.., the holder could get a judgment for
' the deficiency. In that year the legis
lature repealed the deficiency judg
ment law, but the question has been
raised as to whether this prevents
the recovery of deficiency judgments
upon mortgages executed before
1897. The supreme court says it
Joes not.

Aiiilretv CluinuoH HI View.
Chancellor E. llenjamin Andrews,
of the University of Nebraska, in an
address on "Ethics in Money," gave
expression to views vwhleh are 're
garded as a disavowal of his former
well-known advocacy of the free
coinage of silver and a declaration
for the gold standard. The announce
ment of his conversion was made to
the class in ethics. "I confess the
error of-the opinion I hold for a iuiin
her of years regarding the production
of gold. The output of gold has in
creased enormously siuee 1890. By
1897, it had completely cheeked the
fall which prices had been undergoing
since 1S9H, and since 1897 has caused
a considerable rise in jriecs. From
the advices of the greatest geologists,
both in this country and in Europe,
and the opinions of the practical
miners of Colorado whom 1 saw
when 1 visited Colorado in 18SIU, I
believed the greatest output of gold
was past. I am willing to admit that
it was an astounding mistake nid
that t was in great Inexcusable error.
1 now believe that the present enor
mous output of gold will continue."
Itnllroiul AnncMNmeiit Fixed.
The. nsscssed valuation of the rail
roads of Nebraska is $27,077,353..r)0,
so fixed by the state board of as
sessment, which concluded its busi
ness recently and adjourned. The
totnl assessed valuation last year
was $2(5,588,012.70, the increase, there
fore, being $4S3,740.80. The cause of
the increase made by the board, to a
great extent, was the fact that the
mileage of the roads had been in
creased 73 miles since the meeting
of the last board. Of this incrense
13 miles and a fraction belongs to
the Union Pacific and GO miles to the
Elkhorn. Had this 73 miles been as
sessed at $0,095 and odd cents per
mile, it would have made up the total
increase' on all the roads, and would
have left the assessment ns it was
last year. As it was not so assessed
the total increase figured on the
same mileage as last year is $230,000.

In the annual "shirt-tail" parade
at Lincoln Thursday 200 students of
the University of Nebraska made a
rush on the grounds of the Eagles'
carnival. The entrance to the ground
was guarded by a strong force of
police, assisted by showmen of the
carnival. The students were dis
persed after 30 minutes of fighting.
A dozen students were injured. The
students used brickbats when , re
fused admission free and the officers
used their clubs. Many bystanders
received bruises and cuts from fly
ing missiles. Chancellor E. Benja
min Andrews had himself sworn in
as special policeman to assist the
promoters of the Eagles' carnival in
guarding property from a threatened
attack by students.
