LINCOLN. July 33. J
At the session of the state board of equali
zation held ut the capitol this morning an ap
peal for n reduction of the rate assessed
against Douglas county was made by Com
missioners L. M. Anderson , W. J. Mount nnd
E. Itosewater , editor of Tin : Bin. : Attention
was called to the fact that one-half of the entire -
tire increase of the valuation of the state for
ft 18S8 , after deducting $ o,000,000 of increased
9 assessments for now railroad and telegraph
lines , was returned by Douglas county. In
contrast with this several of the larger coun
ties , notably Dodge , had cither decreased in
valuation , by their returns for 188S , or made
n very tilHmg Increase. After an exhaustive
hearing and comparison of rolntivo assess
ments , the board voted to reduce Douglas
county \X \ mills on this year's state tax.
Computed In dollars and cents this will re
duce the Douglas county state tax over $40-
000. The aggregate of Douglas county tax ,
however , for \ & * $ will still bo over ? i5,000. : !
In 1837 Douglas county paid over $100,000 of
state taxes.
The libel cases brought by Mr. and Mrs. S.
E. Hogo ngttlnst the Lincoln News tiuJ Ben

petitions are very similar in nature nnd char
acter. Mrs. Itosana Hope recites as follows
in her cause Joining the News and Plunuo as
defendants :
Plaintiff for cuuso of action ngulnstthc snld
defendants respectfully shows to the court :
That she Is a married woman , the mother
of two minor children , ugcd respectively
fourteen and twelve yearn , und living with
her husband , Stewart E. Hogo.
That the defendant , the Lincoln News
company , is a corporation organized and In
corporated under the laws of the stnto of Ne
braska. That the place of business of the
sold corporation is In the city , of Lincoln.
Lancaster county , state of Nebraska , und
the business of said corporation is publishing
and editing a daily newspaper , of general cir
culation In tho-city of Lincoln and state of
Nebraska , known as the Lincoln Daily News.
That the defendants , Thomas 1 .

L. Uowo , Frank Pierce and William
E. Bain are the members of
Bald corporation , to-wlt , the Lincoln News
company , nnd the owners and managers of

day of July , A. D. 18b3 , In the city of Lin
coln , Lancaster county , Nebraska , the saia
Lincoln News company and each member
thereof , nnd the said Benjamin F. Pinneo ,
unlawfully nnd wickedly conspired together
to injure'this plaintiff and to destroy her
good ninno and character as a wife and
mother , fdid falsely , wickedly , Iwantonly
nnd maliciously write and cause to bo writ
ten and publish , and cause to bo published of
nnd concerning this plaintiff in the said Lin
coln Dally NHWS , published In the city of
Lincoln aforesaid , on the said llth day of
July , A. D. , 18 , the following false and
uofamatory article , to-wlt :
"IS HE GUILTY ! "
"JSNOINCCK IIOOE'S ( UIIUKK IS XCnRASKA , "
ETC. , ETC.
The arrest of S. E. Hogo , chairman of the
national grievance committee of the brother
hood of engineers , charged with conspiracy
to damage and destroy Burlington property ,
has excited unusual interest hero , in the
west , where ho is well known nnd has lived
for years. It would Moem that no sensible
man would countenance such a scheme , but
those who profess to bo posted think it is not
unllkolv that Hogo may bo connected
with it , Judging from some of his
past acts. Many things not crodlt-
able to himself are mentioned.
It is charged that ho and his wlfo have boon
engngod in several blackmailing schemes in
the past. Ono Is mentioned as having been
worked in the fall of 183a. Mrs. Hoge , who
then lived in Hastings , wont down to Omaha
with a Hastings business man and they put
up at the Cozzens house as man and wifo.
After they had gone to their room the injured
tVusband broke in on them with n rovolv'er
Wid demanded blood or money. While they
'A ere parleying the man suddenly dodged
out of a aiJo door und got away. Hogo wont
back to Hastings and commenced suit
ngainsthlm for $10,000 damages , but the
man put his property out of his hands and
the matter dropped. A year or so later ,
down at McCook , the same schema was
worked nnd a man of considerable means
was caught.
This , the plaintiff alleges , charges her with
the crime of adultery and blackmail ; that
in Iho fall of 1SS3 lids plaintiff did commit
, the crime of adultery In the city of Omaha ,
in the state of Nebraska , and also the same
crime In tho.city of McCook , of the said
state of Nebraska , and meaning thnt this
plaintiff was und is unchaste.
That at the times mentioned in said articles
the plaintiff was a married woman , the wife
of the said Stewart E. Hogo , and has been
and still Is n married woman , the wife of thu
said Stewart E. Hogo.
That said article so published as .afore
eaid , and the whole thereof , so far as relates
to this plaintiff , was nnd is false.
That because of the writing and publish
ing of said false , llbolous und defamatory
article above set out , plaintiff has sustained
damages In the sum of & 5,000 , all of whlcl
is due and unpaid.
Wherefore plaintiff pray * Judgment agalns

The board of trade of the city of Hastings
has a penchant for railroads. This is evi
denced by the protest filed before the state
board of transportation yesterday evening
against the action of the board reducing local
freight tariffs. The president , secretary nnd
executive committee , C. II. Doitrich. A. D.
Yocum , M. L. Ellsmoro , L. Huhn , H. Bost-
wlcK , J. J. Wemplo , A. L. Clark , G. L.
Evnns , J. B. Hartwoll and F. D. Taggart.
give reasons for so doing , as follows :
To the Honorable , the State Board of
Transportation , Lincoln , Neb. Gentlemen :
Our attention having been called to your
recent order effecting a change In the dis
tance tariff over all railroads within the
state , and realizing that any change in the
rates must necessarily interest all business
communities , wo have carefully investigated
the same , and have reached the following
conclusions , namely :
That the operation of such a tariff must
certainly provo very detrimental to nil busi
ness interests throughout the state , nnd es
pecially so to the people of the western portion
tion , of which wo form a part , nnd in whoso
prosperity we nro most vitally interested.
With n large territory in this part of the state
undeveloped , and consequently practically
uninhabited , wo most earnestly protest
against any action on your part that will retard - ,
tard the construction of railroads , or prevent
the free in vestment of capital therein.
Therefore , wo deem It very unwise , and
most certainly unjust , to compel the railroad
companies doing business in Nebraska to
haul freight ut , or nearly at , the same rates
us in the older and more thickly settled slates ,
nnd we aftlrm positively that it is our candid
Judgment that the rates now being charged
on local shipments within this state are fair
and reasonable. The intcr-stuto commerce
act gives full protection to the people , and
with it those in favor of railroad legislation
are satisfied.
The action of the state boards of Iowa and
Nebraska against the railroads has so re
duced the earnings of some of the best
equipped nnd economically managed railroads
hat they are not making expenses. By seeing
oing they have antagonized and driven capi-
al from us , nnd stopped the construction of
ailroads in this state , thereby working great
lardship and loss to thousands now living in
ho western and northwestern portion of the
late. Nebraska is dependent upon the pro-
ucor for her prosperity , and the producer is
epondent upon the railroads to reach our
markets in which ho can buy and sell. Such
narkets are reached mostly by interstate
hipment , over which the state board has no
urlsdiction. If a reduction in rates is or
dered by the state board the railroads will
nutnlnin correspondingly high interslato
atcs , which means that the farmer must pay
nero to ship out of the state his grain and
stock , and also pay more to ship in his lum
ber , coal , salt , etc. , that ho uses ,
A reduction of the state rates is of no ben-
iflt to the farmer , as ho seldom travels or
ihips anything from town to town In the
itate.
In view of these facts wo request that the
> rdor making a change in the rates within
this state bo rccindcd , believing that such or
der as it now stands is detrimental to th
best Interests of the state.

For u team that ten days ago was down to

third and croxvdin ? the Prohibitionists close
for second place. St. Paul is winning right
along and is so firmly planted
in Ilrst place that it will be hard to displace
her. For a team that puts up the game that
Minneapolis lias been playing of late it is
rather rough to end the procession. They
are playing as strong ball as any team in the
association now. Sioux City is doing very
well for the baby team , capturing
two s'traight out of the present scries
with Chicago. Kansas City is not putting up
as good bull ai she did the Ilrst of the sea
son ; her pitchers are found moro readily
now than during the opening games. All in

as it has ut any time. The standing of the

Wo nro getting there slowly.
Six straight victories ought to bo good
enough for anybody.
Minneapolis came hero yesterday flushed
with their three triumphs over the brawny
Prohibitionists , nnd they wont out to the
park In the afternoon determined to dangle
another scalp at their belts.
But Omaha still wears her curls. After a
hard and stubborn structjlo she came out of
the fray one run the best of it.
There was n great crowd present and their
inspiriting applause contributed much to the
triumph.
Although Clarke was complaining of a
weak stomach , ho wont into the box und
pitched a good game. Ho was hit hard ut
times , but tlio magnlflcont work of the Hold
ers prevented much dnmago. And then ho
used his head when men were on bases ,
striking out no loss than seven of thorn.
Among those was Walsh twice nnd Patsoy
Gall Tebeiiu ones.
The umclrlnjj of Joe Quest was a trillo off
color , but ho is an old , tried nnd true ball
player , conversant with every point in the
game , and will round to all right as soon as
ho wears the rust off.
'
Naglo again caught without nn error , nnd
wielded the willow with tolling effect.
McGarr , too , lilt like a giant every time ho
went to bat. Ho knocked out four eavago
liners , but each time was retired by marvel
ous II elding.
But you are dying to know how the day
was won.
Hero goes.
In the Ilrst big Wilson , who played left
field instead of the Poet , and played It well ,
too , was left on second. Ho got first on five
wide balls , nnd second on a passed ball , but
Annls , Crooks nnd O'Connell going out in
rapid succession of course ho got no further.
It was ono , two three for Minneapolis.
The audience felt goouj but nervous.
The first ball pitched in the second Omaha's
little shortstop bumped out into the left for
a base.
The people shouted "Hey I hey ! hey ! "
McGurr died on a cannon shot to Jovno , but
Miller got hU base onu fumble by Joe Walsh ,
who also throw ever HnwoV head , and
while Miller traveled on to second Coonoy
gliued homo.
"Good boy , Coonoy 1" they cried from the
grand stand , und "dats do stuff ! " from the
bleaching boards.
Nuglo came in hero with c single nnd
Daddy Clurko for u corking three bagger
way out into deep center , und oh , my , how
the crowd did tnako the circumambient at
mosphere quaver as Miller and Nnglo gal
loped across the pluto. Clarke Boon fol
lowed on Wilson's out from Patsey Gall to
lluwos.
That was brilliant hitting for you.
For the visitors Tcbeau stepped up nnd ,
Deforo anyone could hardly see how It was
done , ho knocked the sphere way out
among the left field carriages for a
homo run. Of counto ha was applauded , but
the applause had a string to it. Itowo ana
Krelg were easily retired and McCullum was
declared out for striking out of time.
In the third O'Connoll was given a life by
an error of Brosnan's , but that was all the
innings amounted to. For the Flour City
crowd Hawcs got his base on balls , but , like
O'Connoll , bo too was loft.
There was another lucky bunching of hits
by the Omahas In the fourth , Naglo , Clarke ,
Wilson and Crooks ull getting on to the ball
safely , and tbo result was two earned rues.
Wo needed them , for after that , try as
hard as she might , Omaha could not score
again.
Minneapolis , however , began to get the
dust out of .her visual organs , and In the fifth ,
sixth nnd seventh innings batted out four
more runs , being facilitated by errors.
That's all they could do.
They exerted every inusclo and
sinew to get In a run In the eighth and ninth ,
but it was a useless task. Daddy Clarke
forgot ull about his enervated victualing de
partment and struck four of the last six
batters.
Toboau was the last ono to expire in this
way , and as ho made his last fatal , phronzied
slash , and Quest cried "You're out , slrl"a
great roar- went up , and the 2,000 people lo.ft
the park feeling as good as if they had drawn
a prizd In the Louisiana lottery.
It was u great light , and , of course , u great
victory.

a runs , undV. . K. Vuuglmn 0 for 8. The

Scotchmen , They wore unfortunate , though ,
in ono of the bent hats , having to retire after
ho had scored 7 und was well set. George
II. Vuughun played u very good inning of 21

good. It Is not to bo expected that the Scotch

Central C'otmnltton
The republican comity central commlttro
met at tliu Millnrd yesterday afternoon to re
consider Its former action in fixing the com
in } ? primaries for August 3 , and the county
convention for August-1. Member * of the
committee desired postponement of those
events in the interest of one or the other of
the congressional candidates. About thirty
members of the committee wore present. Mr.
M. S. Llnsey wus in the chair ami Mr.V. . A.
Kelley acted us secretary. The delegation of
< * nch precinct was allowed to c.ist its full
vote.
vote.A
A motion to elect representatives for West
Omalmiis offered , and an effort to table it
wus dolcatod. Porlimentary Jungle was pre
cipitated nnd the clmir repeatedly called for
order. The original motion was carried and
George W. Roberts was designated to rep
resent West Omaha ,
J I. T. Lcavitt stated that the meeting had
been called at the request of Messrs. G. M.
O'Brion , J. R. Webster. Gustnvus Anderson ,
William A. Kelley and M. S. Lindsey , and ho
moved that they make u statement to the
convention , expressing their desire. *
Mr. U'Urien said that tie and others ques
tioned the wisdam of calling the county con
vention for so early a. date as August 4. The
weather will then bo hot and the farmers will
bo busy. Ho doubted if a very largo attend
ance could be counted on. It had also been
decided to elect congressional delegates and
the speaker desired to have this tncetmgthat
reasoim might bo given for chosing these
delegates weeks before the congressional con
vention would be held.
W. T. Morrow thought that ample titno
should bo given for the rival candidates to
get in their work.
A. L. Wiggins said the purpose was to do
away with two sets of primaries with but u
short interval between them. It was felt
duo to the candidates that they bo given
more limn two weeks to canvass cloven coun
ties.
1) . II. Wlipolcr moved to reconsider the
action of the committee at its last
meeting in designating the time for selecting
delegates to the congressional and the state
conventions.
I. S. Ilascull thought the convention could
readily bo postponed fern week or two but
ho felt that of the congressional , state and
legislative primaries two should bo held to-
getlinr. There is such a thing as gutting too
much politics. '
George B. Stryckcr said the members of
the committee had duo notice ut the last
meeting1. John L. Webster had made the
chargu that the meeting was run by schem
ers. Mr. Stryckor repelled the imputation
and said ho would vote for postponement if
any scheme could bo exposed.
J. K. Webster denied the accusation of any
scheming on his part and spoke ut length
upon the necessity for the republicans of
Douglas county to bo harmonious and united.
There was dissatisfaction at the gag applied
at the last meet of the committee and this
second meeting was called to consider the
matter further and have a full mid free dis
cussion.
Mr. Wheeler counseled harmony in order
to Hcuuro success , but ho felt itunwiso to call
the congressional primaries seven weeks be
fore the convention.
Mr. Wiggins attributed the defeat of the
republicans in Douglas county to "tho hilk
stockings who came down from the hills. "
Mr. Luavitt raised a commotion by insist
ing that the call for the meeting was for the
reconsideration of the congressional matter
only , and ho objected to reconsidering the
action of the previous meeting in its en
tirety.
In the midst of the discussion Mr. J. T.
Pugo moved an adjournment for a week , but
lie was voted down.
The motion to reconsider was carried , and
Judge Hascall moved that the primaries and
convention for selecting state and con
gressional delegates he postponed one week.
Mr. Hcdinan moved to amend by postpon
ing two weeks.
The Redman amendment was defeated.
The HuKcull motion was carried without
opposition ,
The primaries will bo held August 10 , and
the convention on the llth.
The secretary rcna the following com
munication from Chairman MeiUlojohn of the
state committee :
FL'LLKr.rox , Neb. , July 10. Chairman
County Central Committee Dear Sir : As
chairman of your county central committee ,
it will bo necessary for you to take prompt
action with reference to that resolution of the
state convention which is embodied in the
call for the nest state convention , and which
is herein enclosed. I would suggest that
your committed bo called together at an early
tlato , and the manner of voting at the repub
lican primaries bo carefully considered. Wo
want un expression from republican voters ,
and to that end I would recommend n regular
primary election in each voting precinct in
this state. Blanks will bo furnished for re
turns of the votes cast and a tabulated state
ment made by the state central committee
for the use of the next state convention and
members of the legislature. I would recom
mend that printed ballots be used , with the
following wording :
For Submission For the submission of
of the question of prohibition to the voters of
Nebraska by the next legislature.
Agulnst Submission Against the submis
sion of the question of prohibition to the
voters of Nebraska by the next legislature.
In precincts where there is only n caucus
hold the vote should bo taken upon the above
propositions and the vote duly certified to by
the chairman of the county central commit
tee and a duplicate forwarded to the state
central committee. It In earnestly requested
that there bo a full vote on this subject , so
there can bo no question as to the desire of
the republicans of Nebraska both "for" and
'against" submission. I shall bo glad to re
ceive uny suggestions from you regarding
this matter. Very truly yours ,
GKOIKIK U. MKIKLKJOIIK , Chairman
Mr. Wboelcr moved that the committee
submit the piohlbitlon question at the pri
marie * M suggested , but on motion of Mr. O.
H. Kothaekor the matter was laid on th (
table and the committee adjourned.

BOAIID OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The Hcuan Contracts Considered
Various Estimates Allowed.
At the meeting of the board of public
works last evening the Hcgan & Fox cedar
block question was pretty well discussed
but a now phase was put on the matter bj
Mr. Bethel , who was present. Ho gave it aa
Ills opinion that the council had no right to
reconsider their action in directing the board
of public works to annul certain contract *
with Regan & Fox , as the mayor had signed
the same and It was in effect the same us an
ordinance that had received the signature of
the some ofliclal. To rescind their action the
council would have to introduce a new mo
tion. Mr. Bechol also stated that ho believed
Hcgan had all ho could do to fill
his contracts for IbSS , und that it would
bo impossible for him to do anything with hi )
old contracts.
