LONDON The peculiar official ex

REVENUE BOARD MEETS SOON
Secretary to Be Selected, Whw Sal
ary Start in December.
LINCOLN The state board of
equalization, as authorized under the
revenue law enacted by tbe late legis
lature, will meet In a few days to
agree upon a secretary to the board
and give the additional member an
oportunlty to familiarize themselves
with their new duties.
According to the provisions of the
new law the selection of a secretary
should be made at the December meet
ing, but as this would only give about
a month for the new officer to send
out his blanks it is almost Imperative
that the selection be made now that
he may have ample time to become
familiar with his duties and have his
blanks prepared In time. The secre
tary, however, wil not draw salary
until December, and neither will his
appointment be officially made until
then, but it Is tbe Idea of the board
to Inform whoever they decided upon
that he may get down to work.
At present, there are a number of
candidates for the place, among whom
are Reynolds of Chadron, Perslnger of
Central City, Matthews of the au
ditor's office and probably others.
Bookkeeper .Bennett of the auditor's
office has been 'mentioned for the
place, but in all probability he would
refuse It, and besides that Auditor
Weston wants Bennett to stay where
he is, as he is said to be an expert
accountant. J. F. C. McKesson has
also been mentioned for the place,
but in all probability he too would re
fuse it. At present it looks like Per
s!nger of Central City. The office will
pay $1,000 a year and it will be one
of the most important if properly han
dled of any in the state, as the secre
tary will be the eyes and ears of the
entire board and upon him more than
any board member will depend the as
sessments, as his entire time will be
devoted to keeping track of the work.
Governor Mickey says that whoever
Is to be the new secretary should have
an early start to become familiar with
his work and to prepare his blanks in
advance of the time they are needed.
His will be a most important office and
should be of great assistance to the
board.

Looking Over the Ground.
Parties representing eastern pro

the ground where the oil indications

cannot be ascertained at the present
time Just what conclusion " they ar
rived at, but it is said that they are
strongly of the opinion that much oil
is there and that a trial test will be
made in a short time. Water drawn
from some of the wells and left
standing for a few minutes becomes
covered with oil, which has been pro
nounced to be an inferior grade of pe
troleum. Sugar Factory Starts Up.

about 150 miles northwest of Peking,
and ninety miles from the Russian
frontier. M, Lesser, Russian minis
ter to China, has announced that the
Manchurian convention has lapsed.
' Tbe Manchurian convention be
tween Russia and China was signed
April 8, 1902, and according to it, the
evacuation of the three Manchurian
provinces were to be carried out In
three consecutive periods of six
months from the signing of the con
vention. A note from M. Lesser was
appended to the convention declaring
that "If the Chinese government, not
withstanding the assurances given it,
violate any provision of the conven
tion, the Russian government will not
hold itself bound either by tbe terms
of the Manchurian agreement or by
the declarations previously made in
connection with the matter and will
be compelled to repudiate any respon
sibility and consequence that might
arise therefrom'
China was to be permitted to
maintain whatever force-she thought
necessary in Manchuria after the
evacuation. Russia also agreed that
if Tien Tsin was restored to the
Chinese within the first six months
to evacuate New Chwang at the time
this restoration was made. The allies
turned over Tien Tsin to the Chinese

As It Looks to German Eyes.
BERLIN. Russia and Japan act
as though either would fight if the
other should hold immovable to the
position taken up In the last exchange
of communications. This is the actual
situation as understood officially
from reports received from the Ger
man embassy in St. Petersburg and
the German legation at Tokio. Yet
this mutual attitude with hostile
preparations by both countries is still
regarded here as not excluding an
honorable entanglement. Neither gov
ernment has gone so far that it must
fight or be humiliated, but either
cabinet by a single step can put the
other in that position. This delicate
balance may, of course, be violently
disturbed any day, . though no ulti
matum has yet been thrown on either
scale.
CHINA CANNOT RESIST IT.

Russia to Move.
WASHINGTON, D. C Sir Chen

ceived information some time ago that
there was no apparent movement on
the part of Russia indicating that that
country would begin the evacuation of
Manchuria on October 8, as stipulated
in a treaty made with China. ,The
Chinese minister naturally feels keen
ly the condition which exists, as it is
everywhere known that China is in ni
position to enforce the treaty and com
pel Russia to evacuate.
At present the concern of the Uni

ment made with the Chinese for the
open ports in Manchuria is carried out.

The Sultan a Great Reader.
The sultan of Turkey, it i said,
keeps fifteen dragoman secretaries
constantly employed in translating
the best of the world's literature for
his reading. The translations include
not onlv serious works on history, pol
itics and science, but novels in every
European language. They are writ
ten on large sheets of thick whit
gilt-edged paper, fastened together by
ribbons. The sultan is said to have
a special weakness for the reports
of famous trials and for novels in
which a great crime Is the chief mo
uve.
