Oar Urat Condition* Ulgbly r.ooonf *(■■>(. F. M. Woods, a correspondent of the Lincoln Journal thus tells some whole some tmths concerning the condition of Nebraska: ! am just home from a trip over western and central Nebraska, and desire to say that while my faith In Nebraska lias never wavered, it is ten times stronger today than ever before. I have always contended tliut Nebras ka's worst enemy was the ignorance of eastern people (and in fuel oue-lialf western people) in regard to the actual state of things. I want to give one or two practical illustrations. My infor mation comes from headquarters and is reliable. The president of the Rock island plow company went so far as to call bis Nebraska manager to Rock Island, intending to quit (partially) In Nebraska for the reasons of poor col lections, etc. The manager called for the books and the president was duin founded to Is* informed by the cashier that they were getting more cash from Nebraska and had for the past six months than from any other state in the union, und were selling more good*. The Aultman-Taylor company of Akron, O.. I am told, bud a similar ex perience. They called in their Ne braska men and were going to drop the Mate, the officers evidently having gotten their information from news paper report* instead of their book*, as they found lunch to their surprise upon investigation that their Nebraska business in goods sold and cash col lected exceeded that of any other state und bad for tbc past eight months. it Is true that we have suffered and the worst, has been told ten t imes worse than it was. and the state that can go through w hat. Nebraska lias In the past three years and I*- In the condition, financially and otherwise, that, she is ill today, is simply one of the seven Wonders of the world. II shows re euperative powers and a Jim Uludso spirit that no other slute can equal, not even Kansas. I stormed first at Kustis after leaving Ifoldregc him) asked the hunker where I could find a snap in land. ••You are sixty days too late," he said, '•everything here has changed very materially in the past eight weeks. No one wants to sell that doesn't have to. and it will take 92,000 to huy anything like a good ipiurter." Fastis has about 200,000 bushels of corn in the crib. I‘'aruatu 1.’■0,000 and the farmers around yet holding front -In to f»0 |ter cent of their crop, it's safe to say that while no land to speak of Is changing hands that, it is gener al! held at 8" to 8.’> per acre above what It could have been bought for in the winter. A man two miles north of Furnatn refused a cash offer of 911 per acre fyr his section las^ week tlyit hr offered during the winter at 87. A Mr. Johnson, two miles from Furnam. offered his section ami ail his stock, over 8.">.<hmi worth, for 87 an acre. It will luke just twice the amount to get it today. A cold storage man from l)cs Moines, who operating a '.’40 acre farm right miles northwest of Maywood, is negotiating for a section more and will stock the whole with lowaeuiv*. He lives in l)es Moines, runs liis farm with hired help, and Is the most enthusiastic western Ne braska man I've met in some time. The farmers' av< rage incumbrance seems to be about 90(H) to 8000. 1 can eu-.ily see how with a good wheat crop in (and there is a pretty good acreage in and it looks good) and fair corn crop two-thirds of them can get out of debt tliis year. I don't suppose they will do it. b.lt It's among the possibilities. The people of central and western Ne braska are all hopeful and if this crop is a good one up go their lands .r>0 per cent. Nebraska is a new state but she is all right, and it will be no fault of hers if success does not come.

Mlasonrl l-a« lltc Coal Kate Case. The coal rate ease wtta heard by the state Ismrd of transportation, and an interesting point was brought out which is of more than local interest. 'I'he ease was brought by George \V. liibben on complaint of l.ineoln and Omaha coal dealers that the Missouri Pacific road lia<l het-n eliargin*' too much for hauling mine coal from Pan ama. Mo., to tile two |Miints nameti. It Was set out tliut the rule on lump coal was 91.4-* per ton. and that the mine run rate should Is- 9I.H71. per ton. whereas the railroad company was charging the lyghi-r rate for lioth grades alike. The railroad company set up a want of jurisdiction on the part of the board of transportation, making the showing tliut it was an Interstate matter. The case was heard by the Missouri state board a few days ago. and tlie decision was reserved pending uegot at ions for a settlement of tile difficulty between the parties. In I lie bearing of t In- ease tile second time tile defendant railroad company did not uppeur. relying on its objec tion to the jurisdiction of tlie board. Two or three witnesses were examined and the subject of complaint was iu 11iiii-ed into. From the testimony it appeared tliut tin- mine run coal is billed out as such at Punuma without objection by the railroad company, and tliut tin- additional charges are tacked on after the curs reach their destination. This tin- memlx-rs of the liiiiit'il uni {milliiml in t liiitlf Ufiiilil (Hit the case within their jurisdiction, and white the ease is still under advise ment. it is stated that the deeisiou w ill he made that an overcharge 'is being made by the railroad company. It is admitted that an appeal is sure to lie taken in order to test the question of jurisdiction.

In regard to the claim for (foods furnished the state by II. II. t Hover A Co., part of w hiyli was furnished in .March and part in April of this year, the decision is that the claim for the part furnished prior to April I must be paid from the is'.i.'i appropriation.

The state lioard of equalization, say.' a Lincoln dispatch to the Dinaha lice, has practically completed its labors and tile result of the session is that none of the railroad companies arc to be raised in valuation. It was the ex pressed intention on the part of the Istartl at least to raise the valuation of tlie li. A M. and Klkhorn lines, but the arguments of tin1 representatives of I hose roads seem to have been so con vincing that the tigures were left as originally presented to tile hoard. The decision is viewed with dissatis faction by prominent populists who had their attention called to it. I hey point out tile fact that last year the average assessment of all roads in the state was at tin- rate of *4,587.2b per mile, while the valuation of the It. A M.. which, next to the In ion Pacific, was the best paying road in the state, was only *4.4-.'ojt> cents per mile. It was generally believed that to put the It. A' M. on an equality with the other lines tiie valuation should be raised to something like *5,1100 per mile, and that the Klkhorn ought to be raised from *:t,500 to *4.000 |wr mile. As a result of the investigation of the hoard, it was found that the tele graph lines along the It A M. and Missouri Pacific roads had not been given in for assessment and they were put down on the books to pay the same as tile other lint's of the state, amount ing to about 115 per mile.
