CONVINCING PICTURES llotlnc Views of Nebraska at World's Fair tlin Wonder of Thousand, .Matt Miller, a prominent Ilutler county attorney and n member of the Nobraska commission to the world's fair, has returned from n ten days' trip to St. Louis. Mr. Miller Is filled with admiration for tho big show, and he says that, wllo the Antelope state has no building of Its own, Its exhibit and Its moving pictures uru scun and dally examined by morn pcoplo than any other exhibit on tho grounds. "Our moving pictures are being con Btantly added to," said Mr. Miller, "and nro tho constant wonder of pco plo from tho south and east. There Is not a day passes but from 3,000 to .1,500 pooplo view tho pictures and they never weary of asking-questions concerning NabraBka. "The ways of tho eastern farme", particularly him from tho rugged hills of Now England, are not our wnys, nan you can tell him everything concern ing; our great fields and great crops. "When you think ho Is well filled with this class of material he will, as like as not. candidly tell you ho likes you first rate, but that ho does not believe a word you say.

A small blazo which started in n Jowolrly storo at Clsson, Cal., resulted in a general conflagration which de stroyed tho main portion of t' town.

SHOULD BE BETTER PAID State Superintendent Fowler fine on Iterord for Mori) Sulwry. "Tho nnnual school district mectltiRS were held In all school districts of the stato except tho larger cities, on Monday, Juno 27," said State Superin tendent Fowler. "At Hint tlmo the levy was made for cchool purposes. In 1002 tho averago lovy over the stato was fifteen mills, with 1509 of tho G, 000 district levying the maximum al lowed under tho law, twenty-llvo mills. The nverage levy In Douglas county wns seven mills, the lowest In tho state, caused largely from the fad that Douglas county receives moro than one-ninth of tho entire state ap portionment, anil In ono-fourth of this ninth, or one-thlrty-slxth of the entire state apportionment, nil tho districts of Douglas county sharo cqunlly. Tho highest nverago levy In tho state was that of Antelopo county, twenty-two mills. In 1903 the nornRO lovy In the state was fifteen mills. "This year the levies will undoubted ly he reduced, but not quite In Inverse proportion to tho Increase) In the as sessed valuation; nor should they, as a great majority of the 1,500 districts now levying the maximum amount have needed thirty or moro mills to run their schools, Besides, mnny of these districts have only six or leas months of school, and many of them pay their tcuehers from $20 to $30 per month, "Tho hlRher assessed valuation re quired undor tho now rovenue law will onnblo hundreds of districts to get out of debt, hundreds of others to have a month or two moro of school, and other hundiedH to pay $5 a month more for teaching. Some of our very Industrious and energetic county superintendents have run through the county assessor's books during the last day or two, footed tho real and personal valuation In each school dis trict, and sent tho totals to the school dlroctors; but many others havo not been nblo to do this. "School districts that nro paying their teachers less than $10 a mouth, those thnt have only eight months of school or less, and those thnt nre In debt, should take, advantago of this opportunity to reduce their debts or to Kccuro moro experienced, higher quali fied teachers by offering better salar ies. Tho average Balary In the stato is now $10 a month, hut as In figuring out this nverage wo Inclutlo hundreds of high school teachers and village, ward and high school principals and city superintendents who receive two or thrco times this average, we must have hundreds, yes. two or three thou sand teachers who receive much less thnn $40 u month. A few rccelvo ns low as $20 a month. And many hun dreds of districts In the twonty-flvo mill class hnvo been able to pay In tho pnst only $25 or $30 a month. These nro the ones who should tako full ad vantago of tho opportunity afforded by tho now revenuo law to lncreaso tho salary of their teacher twenty or twenty-flvo tier cent and at tho same tlmo securo a teacher worth forty or fifty per cent more to their children." "School directors and voters that aro not apprised of the exact assessed valuation of their district prior to tho annual meeting should not mako too radical a reduction in the number of mills for tho year. Tho returns from nn extra mill or two may be well expended as suggested, or In long need ed repairs, in a modest school library, a dictionary, a globo and wall maps, a flag, somo trees, or better text books und supplies, with some supplementary rending books."

The bill chnrges that tho Standard Oil tompany In Ohio was declared llle- gai ny tno courts of that stato. but that the company. Instead of dissolution In obedience to that derision, has by subterfuge, evaded tho Ohio decision and thnt fie New Jersey corporation Is merely n holding compnny for the Ohio concern.

WEALTH OF NEBRASKA Mut of Yatnntlnns for AMeMtnent De rided l.jr State Hoard. Secretary George D. Bennett of the state board of assessment has com pleted the work of certifying the new railroad valuations to the various counties for assessment purpose. Tho Brand total assessed valuation of all railroad property In the state has been nltered slightly since the boirl first agreed upon It. Tho total Is now 46. 082.S52.75. Last year It was $a7.077,35J. In the year 1902 It was 26,68S.12. A comparison of the present usseasKt vnluatlon with that of 1002 Is made for the reason that the valuation by ooun tles for 1903 will not be compiled In the auditor's office until Just prior to the publication of the auditor's bien nial report. The vnluatlon for 1902 and 1903 were practically the some, so a comparison of the present valuation with that of 1902 gives a fair Idea of tho Increase In each county. The mileage has changed vory little In the past two years. Boyd :ounty had no road In 1902 but since thit time the Northwestern road has bulk a line through the county. Lancaster county brads .the Hat In mllcuRe and consequently In assessed valuation. The roads In Lancaster county are valued for assessment pur poses, or one-fifth the u:tual value, at $2,031,835.80. As the values are on a mileage basis, tho county that his the most miles of road Is likely to rvcelve the most taxes. Occasionally the lines nre branches and of less value thun n less number of miles of main Una In other counties. - Counties At th Top. The state board has said that It has distributed the Omaha terminals over the entire systems of road to which they are attached. DoiirIiii being a smnll county, the valuation of the lines In It Is less than In Lancaster. Cans or Gage.

OLD LAWYERS INCLUDED State Hoard HxempM Nona lint Certllled l'rartltloncrn. The state board of legal examiners has formulated a new rule. It Is that all persons desiring to practice law in Kansas must take an examination whether they havo been practicing in other states or not. If, however, they can show that thoy havo been In actual practice before the highest tribunal of somo other stato for at least three years, and have used the law as n pro fesslotn and not as a side line, they constitute a class by themselves and will not bo put through tho samo ex amination that Is given beginners.

Tho association, In session at Chicago, insists that tho arrangement shall bo reciprocal, tho railroads paying Ihe shippers for the detention of freight on the basis that the shippers aro compelled to pay the railroad for the detention of cars.

On failure to do so tho offending com pany shall puy the shipper at tho raic of $1 a car a day on a written demand for tho sum made within thirty days. It Is further demanded thut when a railroad shall be offered freight in less than carload lots it shall immediately be rocolved and bo carried forward at the rate of not less than fifty rnlle3 a day, beginning with the day follow ing the receipt of the shipment. Fall uro to do this will subject tho railroad to a fine of $1 a car a day unless tho delay Is caused by nccldent. Under the proposed rules the rail roads aro bound to glvo written notice to tho consignee of tho arrival of his goods within twenty-four hours, and failure to do so subjects the railroad to a fine of $1 a day for each car. Rail roads falling to deliver the cars for unloading within twenty-four hours oS arrival will have to pay a similar de murrage, while the consignee has forty eight hours after dellvory In which to unload.
