.Matt Miller, a prominent Ilutler
county attorney and n member of the
Nobraska commission to the world's

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

not a day passes but from 3,000 to .1,500

"When you think ho Is well filled with

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."

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. Tho following shows the mileage

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.
Hero is tho rulo:
All applicants who who shall be
otherwise qualified, and who havo been
admitted to practice In tho highest
court in another jurisdiction and have
practiced there continuously for a
porlod of three years or more, nnd con
tinued to practice there or elsewhere
up to tho tlmo of making application
here, shall constitute a class and bo
examined separately, In such manner
as the board may detormlno."
There wero seven applicants who
cntno under this class before tho board
of examiners recently. This Is the
first tlmo that has happened, and tho
new rule was made to lit their cases,
Del Valentino, clork of tho suprome
court, says that If a supremo Justice
from another stato should como Into
Kansas to practice law he would havo
to take some sort of an examination
Just tho samo.

GRAiN DEALERS' DEMANDS
Want Hnrilcal Chances In Way Grain li
Now Ilsndled.
The National Association of Oral.i
Dealers has mndo a demand on tho
railroads for radical changes In the
rules governing demurrago of cars.
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.
For example, It Is demanded that
when a shipper makc3 verbal or writ
ton application to a railroad company
for cars to be loaded with any kind of
Height tho cars shall bo furnished
within four to seven tlays tollowlng
the receipt of tho uppllcatlon. 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.
WANT BETTER WAGES
Union I'arlOo Section Ilsndit Nee tioud
Money In Harvest Field.
Tho farmer Is not tho only one who
Is up against It on the labor question
on account of the wheat harvest. Tho
trouble commences on tho railroads
as soon as harvest, and a dollar and
two bits looks mighty small to the
section hand when he can make two
dollars and his board In the harvest
dolt!.
TI1I3 Is the proposition the Union
Pacific railroad Is up against with its
Greek laboiors working on the Lin
coln brnnch of tho Union Pacific at
Black Wolf and Luray, Kansas. They
havo been content with their $1.25 a
day, but now that tho wheat harvest
opens up another avenue for the em
ployment of labor they are striking
for a raise of two bits a day. There
Is probably not ono of them who
would be worth that much In the
hiarvest field, but Blnco one of his an
cestors declared his intention to
"strlko until the last armed foe ex
pires," tho Greek has been great on
strike-..
Then there Is a flnnncial agout, a
sort of walking delegate who went out
from Kansas City and stirred up moro
trouble and put the Greeks on to tho
best way to enforce their domands for
more pay.
HIr Kxnort or Implements.
Exports of agricultural implements
from tho United States in the fiscal
year about to' end will amount to about
twenty-flvo million dollars In value.
This Is an lncreaso of nbout four mil
lions over last year nnd about nine
millions over the previous year. In
no class of manufactures exported has
the growth been more steady and per
sistent than In that of agricultural Im
plements. The enrliest year In which tho value
of agricultural Implements exported
wns of sufficient Importance to Justify
a separate statement wns 1801. In that
year the total value of agricultural im
plements exported was $011,152.
