Even thi ! condensed statement serves to exhibit manj of tho idiosyncracies of our system of assess ment and taxation. Tho counties enter intc active competition to sco which one can gel itself believed to bo tho poorest. Tho castcrr counties seem anxious to rival tho "bac lands11 of tho west for worthlcssness , and il appears from theso returns as though il would not tako very much of a syndicate tc buy up tho whole state. The returns of per sonal property have been reduced in a stil moro scandalous manner by this desire tc elude taxation. A county having taxable property the assessed valuation of which fc § 1,053,000 , claims to have no clocks noi watches at all ; another with a taxable valua tion of § 1,200,00 has no pianos owned by its citizens. Omaha has lieu like tho mischiei either to the assessors or to the rest of us , f 01 according to the returns in tho auditor's office tho average value of town lots in Doug las county is only 5442.50 , while in Lancastei it is $500.07.

The interest must be paid when due , except in cases of extraordinary hardship. _ "Assignments of contracts are not recog nized by the company until recorded in the land department , and assignments will not be recorded until all arrears of principal , interest and taxes have been paid. The wives of purchasers must join in the as signment of contracts for lands and lots in Nebraska. If the purchasers are unmar ried , that fact should be stated in the as signment.

They Want Revenge for Tola Alto , Monterey and Unctia Tlsta. City ol Mexico dispatch : A party in northern Mexico is in for crocsing swordt with tho United States. It ia reported or good authority that General Casas , whc has recently depredated in tho vicinity ol Sabinaf , has offered to join hands with the federal government and clean out tho Yan kees. Government dispatches from Victo ria , the capital of the stato of Tamalipsas , received in Muevo Laredo , aro to the effect that tho town is much excited over the El Paso and Eagle Pass complications. Pub lic opinion as to the justification of Mon- dragon is divided , some claiming his acts were justifiable and others condemning him. The governor of Tnmalipsas is said to have asserted that if ho were in the po sition ot Governor Bornat , of Chihuahua , he would never give Cutting up. The peo ple of his stato appear to uphold him in his opinion. From Parraa Lincras news comes that the prospect of war with tho United States is hnilcd with delight as many in that sec tion wish to aid in wiping out the'remem- brancc of their defeat at L'alo Alto , Monte rey and Buena Vista. Their inborn anti pathy and intense hatred for Gringocn creep out daily , as is shown by their insult ing and annoying t reatmcnt of Americans who are so unfortunate as to bo living in their midst. Tho governor of Coalmihi seems to be more conservative than either of those of Tamelipas or Nuovo Loon , and is said to be in favor of peace and concilia tory measures. A private telegram from Sa'tillo says that a brigade of infantry arrived in that city this morning. ThtiirfuturL'destinalion is not known. Stock men arriving from Mexico stale that news of the trouble with the United States has just reached remote regions in the interior.-causing great excite ment and making it dangerous for stock buyers to stay in their midst. Importers in Nuevo Laredo arc countermanding or ders for goods in contemplation of trouble , as they are confident Cutting never will be piven up. The present suspense is paralyz ing business on the border. THE SITUATION IX ZREEAXD. As Set Forth by Ofr. liucitt , Just Arrived in America. New York dispatch : Michael Davitt ar rived Satunlay by the Germanic after a voyage devoid of incident. He was accom panied by James Rourke , one of the own- ci sot the Dublin North City Milling com pany and business partner of Patrick Egau , president of the Irish National League of America. Mr. Bourko will mako only a brief stay in this country , as his visit is purely on busi ness. Mr. Davitt'will remain several months , will attend the Chicago conven tion and afterward will deliver a series of lectures throughout the country. Mr. Dav itt found time to answer a few questions concerning the present situation in Ireland ! ind what prospect there was for an early settlement of the home rule question. Be ing asked what he thought would bo the first move of the tory ministry in relation Lo Ireland , ho answered : "For the pres- 3iit , at all events , wo can scarcely expect they will rush forward with a homo rule bill that is , a home rule bill on the line of jladstone's. Our hopes must be rather of i negative than of a positive character , and this makes our people anxious to find out whether or not anything in the shape of a : ocrcion bill will be introduced I don't jay passed for with the present actual najoiity for tho liberals on all questions mtside of home rulf , it is hard to sco how my bill doing away with the application if the ordinary htw could be got through : he-hou.se of commons. While , therefore , ihe conservative ministry must be conser vative in not going beyond the ordinary aw to carry on the government as it is , I rannot see how they i-ari remain pas&ivo in elation to the national demand. They nust , and probably will , offer some kind if a rcmi'dy , for the country is at present itined from one end to the other as it lever wa > < before and the whole people in ibediencc to their leaders , not to speak of he la ' - abiding spirit which is born in hum when they aro let alone , arc refrain- ng froi" nets of violence. Why , you must lave read in the dispatches from the other ide that criminal calendars which came mdcr the notice of the judges of the assizes dio arc on the circuit throughout the oiintry present almost a complete blank .s far as any serious offenses , in fact as far .s any offenses at all , are concerned. As , consequence the judges are compelled to omplimont the grand juries on the peace- id slate of the country. " THE POl'E'S EDICT. Baltimore special : The dispatch bullc- ined at the United Press office to-day taling that Pope Leo XIII hod cou emned the Knights of Labor , and in- tructing the bishops to proceed against it s against all secret societies under the apal ban , has created a great stir in this ty , not only among the members of the rganization , but the general public , rominent knights were interviewed this reniug and theyall share in the belief that ic pope has issued no such edict as apply- ig to the United Stsitea. "I don't believe , " said a Catliolic master orkman , "that His JIoline. s has taken a DStile irltituclu against Ihe Knights of abor , for if he has examined the constitu- 011 ho must see that there is nothing in antagonistic to the church. Besides , the ierarchy of this county have signified icir approval 01 it. One of the most prominent Catholic nights in the city was asked for his opin- n as to the probable result of the pope's jcision. "Granting that it be true , " after a few oments silenca the gentleman said , "and love my church well ; if it be true that Ihe > pe has decided , to fight the Knights of abor the order will doubtless be decima- d somewhat ; and so will the membership the Catholic church. The Catholic nights of Labor have always been obedi- it to the laws of the church , but if the nirch seeks to take away from us the ily means wo possess of resisting the en- oachments and oppression of capitalists , is time to call a halt. A month ago Car nal Gibbons spoke in approbation of the der , saying that as long as it confined its tercsts to peaceable men it need appre- ind no opposition from the church.

TI1E A'AXCE COVXTT HORROR. A Hew Theory Concent ing the Jlimlcrs Xlffo Years AJJO. It is now nearly two years since the de tails of the shocking quintuple murder known as tho Fullerton , Nance county , horror , were published. It was in the early part of tho winter of 1884. Four adults iind one child were found murdered. Tho perpetrator was , and still ia , unknown , but suspicion now ia firmly settled upon tho man who in all probability did the A\x deed , and who for a long time , it was ' thought , had also fallen a victim in tho butchery. This is the man Furneval , who has not been Iieard of since that time. The theory of tho > crime held up to tho present time , is that Porcival , who was the third to fall in tho bloody work with his wife , had been gotten out of the way in order to remove the possibility of bis ever laying claim a s heir to immense ejtatcs in England. That theory has now fallen to the ground , and another has taken its place. It is held , says the Omaha Bee , by everybody in the vicinity of tht scene of the murder , aud bears si plausibility which the other lacked. It makes its first ap pearance in the Bee , and was received through Honorable John Rush fn > m John V/hithey , the next neighbor of Funtival.JJ Furneval owned 1JO ( acres in Nance county. He was living with a man named Meyer. E > ch took turns of a week in at tending to thu domestic duties of their home. In that , homo were certain chattels upon which Furneval had given a mortgage for § 200. Thu timo of the payment ; of this Hum was near at hand , und Ftirneval was anxiously expecting money from the east to satisfy it. Ho wont several times to Central City and Fullerlon to fee if tho money had'arrived , but only to find that it had not comu. Thia made him nervous and irksome , lie oven requested his neigh bors to inquire for the desired letter for him when ho was unable to go to either of theso towim himself. On the Saturday night before the murdrr Furneval inquired of Mr. Gates if he had brought a letter for him , but was informed that nothing had arrived with h"n address. The next day , Sunday , was the day upon which Meyer was to commence to take charge of flic household affair * for the fol lowing week. That day Furneval had npeiit playing cricket. On his way homo he stopped at Gates' and asked the latter if ho had seen Meyer that day , and was told that Meyer had not been around. Although naturally an easy-goins man , when aroused it was known that Furneval was possessed of most resentful and vio lent feelings. These ho began to show be fore he left Gate's place by bitter ilenunci- ation of his companion who neglected his duty. He then started for home. Later Meyer made hisappearance at Gates' and asked if Furneval had been Been. Ho was informed that Furneval hud just left and was in a very angry mood. "Yes , " said Meyer , "I suppose he'll make it warm for me , " and then started for home. Furne val quarrelled , and later , when the former had retired to bed , Furneval shot him through the chin and top of the head. Percival was one of the nearest neigh bors. Early in the morning a. man of his , named Baird , who was a friend of Meyer's , e.a'led to see the hitter , while Fnrneval was dicing a pit to bury him in. Baird discov ered tho murder and was hastily running to spread the alarm , when Furneval shot him from behind. The body was not found for some time , and was then supposed to ! > e that of Fnrneval. Thatnight. . Monday , Percival had just got back from town , and had driven his horses to the barn , where Furneval asked if ho had any news for him irom town. Percival stated that he had not. Whereupon Furneval , who had now become a demon in heart , in search of money to mako his escape , shot Percival IH he was carrying his arms full of hay to > cd his horses. The murdered man Ironped upon the hay he had been holding ind never stirred. Fnrneval then went to , ! ie Percival house. He knew the latter i.til a tin box containing § 100. Ho de- . rmined to secure its contents. To do this 10 Killed Mrs. Percival , who was enceinte ; t the linnas al&o her child who wqs but i.t cn months old. Ho then rille'l the box , ind with tho blood of sixhiunn-i living , as t v.ere , dripping from his hands , made his scape. His tracks have been so effectually lovercd that ho has not been apprehended. Mr. Gales'opinion as to his whereabouts s that he has either already committed itiicitlp , or that he has gone on a surveying xpedition to Alaska. Hois rather inclined o the latter theory , in fact is almost cer- .iin that he is up north , because Furneval overal times spoke to him of going. The one hundred nnd sixty acres balon- : ig to Funieval are now used by ex-Lt.- ov. Cams , while the mortgage upon his hattles was purchased by Central City BEN HITCHCOCK , a gay and festive youns nan of Lincoln , was before the courts the Jther day to answer to the charge of adul- ery with one Mrs. Mary A. Johnson , a narried woman. THE MARKETS. OMAHA. .
