MILEAGE Of THE COUNTIES.
Kcbraaka I ndaatrtal Department Tlgar
Railroad Facta.
LINCOLN. Neb.. July 15. The de
partment of labor and industrial sta
tistics has completed a compilation
showing the number of square miles
of territory, date of permanent or
ganization and number of miles of rail
road for every county In the state.
This Information was obtained from
various sources. The railroad statis
tics were compiled from the official
records of the auditor's office, the fig
ures relating to square mileage from
the state survey and the dates of or-
ganiaztion from histories, county and
judicial officials and early settlers.
The dates of county organization
comprise an entirely new feature of
Nebraska statistical information. It
was necessary for the compilers to
consult every source of information tc
get the correct dates, and very often
these sources gave conflicting accounts.
In Knox county, for example, the
first organization was destroyed by In
dians and the next establishment be
came confused with the military
force stationed in the county. In such
instance the date of permanent or
ganization was accepted. The figure3
given in the report have been verified
and they will soon be officially pub
lished by the state.
MUTUAL INSURANCE C0MPAMES.
Court Itecldes that They Cannot Limit
Liability of Members.
LINCOLN. Neb., July 15. The su
preme court has decided that mutual
insurance companies cannot limit the
liability of its members. This opinion
is delivered in the case of Morgan
against the Hog Raisers' Mutual In
surance company. Morgan had a con
tract with the company which limited
his liability. An epidemic caused the
claims against the company to exceed
the assets by flS.000 and the officers
sought to collect this sum, notwith
standing it exceeded the total limit
of liability.
The court says that members of a
mutual insurance company are obli
gated to pay all assessments necessarr
to liquidate losses and expenses of
management and that it is the duty
of the directors. to make an assessment
whenever necessary, and, further, that
if this assessment is not paid within
thirty days suit may be commerf(S.
under the law. The court holds tat
there is no merit in the contention
of the objecting members that be
cause the contracts are limited as to
liability they cannot be held liable for
the full amount of the losses.

atlona of Taxable Property in Nebraska
Miscellaneous State Matters.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 16. Former
State Treasurer Joseph Bartley. under
sentence of twenty years' imprison
ment for defaulting in the sum of ap
proximately f223.000, has been par
oled for sixty clays and it is intimated
by Governor Savage that his freedom
may be made permanent if he meets
certain requirements. Governor Sav
age authorized the parole after a long
conference with C. O. Whedou of this
city, who agrees to stand as Bartley's
sponsor.
The executive order to the warden
of the state penitentiary was served at
8 o'clock at night and immediately
Bartley was informed by Warden Da
vis that he could leave the institu
tion. Although not an entire surprise
the announcement deeply affected the
prisoner, but he made haste to ex
change his prison garb for citizen's
clothes. He was then joined by hi3
wife and family and together the party
were taken in a carriage to the Bart
ley residence at Seventeenth and C
streets. A few minutes after he ar
rived at his home he called Gover
nor Savage by telephone and thanked
him for the clemency shown.
Governor Savage was asked by a re
porter whether or not the parole would
be made permanent.
"That depends entirely upon cir
cumstances," replied the governor. "I
have given Bartley a sixty-day fur
lough, but whether that time will be
extended remains to be seen. I have
imposed some pretty hard require
ments upon Bartley and I shall im
pose some still harder ones. If he
does what I ask him to do I will let
him out of the penitentiary, but if he
des not then he will have to go back.
I don't care to say just now what
these requirempnts will be, but I am
confident they will meet the approval
of the people of the state."

Ufllelal Reports from Alt Counties Show
-Assessment Increase.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 16. A con
servative estimate, based upon official
reports from nearly all counties,
places the total valuation of taxable
property in Nebraska at approxi
mately $173,000,000. In round num
bers this will be $2,000,000 greater
than the valuation upon which the
taxes were levied last year. The State
Board of Equalization will meet July

the annual levy.

all but a few of the counties and they
show a general increase in total val
uation," said Deputy Auditor Anthes
today. "We cannot determine the ex
act valuation of the state until the
remaining counties are heard from,
but it is very likely the valuation of
last year will be exceeded by at least
$2,000,000."

CORN IS PURELY KING
It Makes Another Big Advance on Chi
cago acd New York Markets.
BROKERS SWAMPED WITH ORDERS
Farmers Become Balls When Profession
als Begin Realizing Wheat Conspicu
ous lij Giving Corn a Close Race In
the Advance.
NEW YORK, July 13. There was a
scene of great excitement in both the
wheat and corn markets at New York
today, the trading aggregaating one
of the largest day's totals in a ysai
or more, especially as to corn.
Prices jumped 2 5-S cents during the
day in corn, making cents advance
for the week. Orders poured into the
market so fast that the brokers could
scarcely execute them at the prices de
sired and the usually small crowd
around the corn ring was increased
to such an extent that at times it al
most outrivaled that in the wheat pit.
The farmers have taken the bull side
into their hands and in the face of
heavy realizing on the part of profes
sionals have kept prices going until
the cry is for CO-cent corn in Chicago.
Where the present bull movement will
end depends a great deal on weath
er conditions in tha leading corn
states.
Wheat also took an extraordinary
jump today and from being in a posi
tion almost entirely friendless at once
leaped into popularity with the bulls
and gave corn a close race for leader
ship in the advance for the day.
Prices in New York closed 2 and 3
cents higher than yesterday and prac
tically at the top price. Professionals
were caught in this bulge in wheat
and some of them lost about all the
money they have made by selling long
corn to the bull public. For weeks
and for months wheat has been ham
mered persistently by everybody in the
belief that the crop would be a record
one and more than enough to make
up the foreign shortage. The result
has been a huge short interest, part
of which was caught in yesterday's
big advance. The remainder is in a
state of anxiety as to what the out
come will be, realizing that a much
greater upturn must mean the covering
of a big line of wheat. Today bull
were still further encouraged by re
ports that wheat in the Red river val
ley was being injured by excessire heat
after recent wet weather.
CHICAGO. July 13. Today's advice
to the Eoard of Trade grain compa
nies are to the effect that the beat
and drouth in the southwest are un
broken. It is said that the damage
outside of Kansas and Missouri is com
paratively slight, but that unless there
is relief within the next ten days the
corn crop situation will approach a
calamity.
A message from Topeka, Kan., says
the prospects are for a crop of but
50,00,000 bushels of corn, although last
year's crop was 163.000,000 and the
year before 237.000,000 bushels. The
loss of hay and potatoes is also great.
second only to the loss cf corn. It is
estimated that the farmers of Kansas
and Missouri have already lost $50,003,
000 by the torridity and drouth.
The straits in the corn crop Is said
to be owing to the intense heat and
lack of moisture and is reflected fn
the course of prices of that cereal
on the Board of Trade. Corn for Sep
tember delivery at the opening today
sold simultaneously from 52c to 52e,
compared with the close yesterday at
Gl&HlVtc; shortly afterward It was
quoted at 52"8c, or 9 cents higher than
the price one month ago shortly be
fore the heat and drouth began to
arouse misgivings as to the future of
the crop.

THE LIVE STOCK MAR.KET.
luteal Quotations Front South?
Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
Cattle There was a Knerous run of
cattlti, and as advices from other poirnts
wera none too favorable, the tendency
on the part of packers was to buy their
supplies lower than they did yesterday.
They did not succeed In all cases, how
ever. There was something over 100 cars
of beef steers on sale, and as several of
the trains were late in arriving, the mar
ket was slow lit opening. Buyers went
around and picked up come of the mom
desirable bunches at good, steady prices,
but there were not many of what might
be called choice cattle on sale. They did,
not take hold in very good shapt: of ths
other grades. There were twenty-five or
thirty cars of cows in the yards, but they
were mostly on the commcnish order. The
few good to choice dry lot cows ami Jieif
crs offered brought good, steady prices,
but the others were slow salo and lower
all around. Hulls brought about steady
prices if they were at all good, but they
were slow and weak if common. There,
were a, good many stoi-kers and feeders
in tho yards, but the reports of rains in
some sections gave ;t little better tout; to
the trade. Several commission men had
a numbt-r of orders to buy cattle, so tliat
prices did not show su much change.
Hogs There was the heaviest run of
hogs of any day so far this year, and. iu
fact, this was one of the big d.iys of the
year. July 31, ISl'l, holds the record, when
there were 20."!4 hogs on sale, so that to
day's supply is not far behind the record.
Other markets were weak and a dime
lower, and owing to tin; big supply here
buyers took oif fully a lim-. The long
string sold at $5.C5, with the bulk goini;
from $5.H2'.'j to J5.t;7'j.. as against yester
day's bulk from $5.75 to $5.x. so that the
market toilay might be iuoted 1o1j:
lower.
Shee There was a. good run of sheep
and lambs, and although Chicago was re
ported weak and a dime lower, the mar
ket at this point ruled active and just
ubout steady all around. Idaho grass
wethers sold at J3.65 and Jdalm ewes
brought as high as $3.25, and Idaho Iambs
sold up to $5.C5. The common and half fat
stuff was, of course, more or less neglect
ed, but a.lfie from that everything was
sold in good season.
