County Courlfl.
District Court.
\ Judge Wakcloy has Riven a decision In the
two cnsos ot Swltzlcr nnd Straight vs the
board ot county commissioners , relative to
changing the assessed valuation.
'J,1 ho board ef equalization raised the valua
tion on two loU owned by Mr. Swltzlcr from
13,200 , as fixed by the assessors , to1,500 nnd
compelled him to pay 9100 more taxes than
bo would have been required 'to pay under
the original appraisement. The valuation of
Struli/hi's lots wns Increased $0,000 , thus
making his excess in taxes (300.
The commissioners approved this action ,
but Switzlor and Straight contested in the
court.
Judge Wakcloy hold that there nro only
two rules under which the board can equal
ize assessments. One of these ii by wards
and townsblpi , which they can regulate on
their own motion , that is If they Ilml that
the valuation is too high In ono ward nnd too
low In nnothor. They may low'er the ono on
a general scale nnd raise the other. The
Bccond class includes &pccltic property and
the Judge's ruling is that , to make any change
in the assessor's valuation , the board must
fllo n written complaint against the owner
and bntorlnto a formal treatment of the case.
This opinion , of coilrse , gave Switzlor mid
Straight n victory. The court ordered that
the action of the board against their lots bo
net aside. It isncnerally conceded that the
decision establishes a now condition of
things , nnd will probably have the effect of
making many thousands of dollars differ
ence in the valuation on Douglas county
real estate and the amount of taxes collected.
Judge Hopewcll Issued n restraining order
in the application of Arthur S. Poltcr , nn
injunction against Mayor Broatch , St. A. D.
Bulcombe , as chairman of the board of nub

Tbo ruling made by Judge Dundy tha
tbo possession of a pass does not disqualif ,
any man from acting us a Juror ia the trial o
railroad cases , has furnished the lawyers ai
interesting subject to discuss. A larg
majority of the members of the countyba
take exceptions to his honor's ruling am
openly declare that it is a dangerous ono.
Mr. Warren Switzlor said that ho prc
suined the mutter was discretionary will
the court , though , ' in his opinion
the knowledge that a Juror hold
a pass , ought to be sufllclunt ground t
cballonga htm for cause. Circumstances
however , ho said , often change the caso. Ii
western states , where railroads are llbern
with their favors , It would bo a dlfllcult mat
tcr in the United States court to got Juror
enough if all the pass-holders were disquall
fled.
General Cowin said ho would certainly ap
peal a case to the United States suprom
court If the amount involved reached (5,004 ,
and take his chances of having a vordic
against pass-holders reversed.
"Our supreme court has already decided,1
ohiuicd in Mr. Keller , "that it is a mlsdc
meaner for an attorney , whllo engaged Ii
the trial of a case , to bo scon taking a drinl
with a Juror , or inviting him out olthor t
dine or rldo with him. U , therefore , strike
mo that u pass is strong enough objection t
the presence of a man holding il serving as
Juror in the trial of any case whorolu u rail
road company is ono party to the suit. "

The version of John A. McShano of the

what peculiar circumstances. It was reported
yesterday that John P. Boyd was equally BU r-
irlsodwlthagro.it many others when TUB
Jr.p. come Into his possession last evening ,
lo repaired to the residence ot William A.
axton where ho had not been long before
Mr. McShano put in an ap

ent and Mr. MoShano's reply was most
Ikoly warped to suit the "guests , "
loxvovor , a private conference wns hold at

that the rcx5rt | in THE BEK was not very
wldo of tlio mark. Others , who seem to bo
cognizant of the situation , claim that THE
Bii : : did not overdraw the matter.
Hon. William A. Paxton was seen in refer
ence to the report that Mr. K. Dickenson
would be offered the presidency of the South
Dimilm Stock Yards company. Ho said that
the report hud probably become current by
reason of a consultation which was held
ccently between a few of the leading stock-
lolders , at which a proposition was
discussed looking to the appointment
of n mini qualified to conduct the business of
.ho company In the absence of either Mr ,
McShano or Mr. Paxton ,
"The business has grown to such cnor-
nous proportions , " said Mr. Paxton. "that
wo have been compelled to give most of nur
jorsonal attention to it , which has resulted
n neglect of ether highly Important per
sonal interests , further , Mr. McShano and
myself hove necessarily to bo absent a con
siderable portion of the time , which makes It
almost Imperative that a man bo secured

"I have been using Swift's Speclhe with

Quito a number of the children hail consti

children wcro cured of the horrible taint by
the use of S. S. S.
There have also been scores of children In
the institution whoso systems ( they having
been mostly without the benefits of parental
care ) were enervated by dirt-eating nnd
other foul practices. Everyone of these
children have taker. S. S. S. , and all have
been signally bonofltted by it. All have
been cured who have taken enough of it.
We have also two inmates of the home , sub
ject to painful recurring attacks of erysipe

ment usual for the disease. When all othct
medicines wore discarded and they took S.
S. S. the euro in each case was quick and

The Union Pnollto Hcaching Out foi
Moro Lcnsoil Track.
An important deal is being considered D.V
the Union and Northern Pacific roads. It i <
a lease by the former of 150 miles of road
the property of the latter. This action biu
grown out of the dispute regarding Pugel
Sound traffic.
About ton years ngo , before the Union Pa
clfic had acquired control of the Oregoi
Hallway & Navigation system , the Northcrt
P.iciflu obtained n lease of the track belong
lug to that system between Walnut Junctior
and Portland. The Northern Pacific has
another , but a circuitous line , to the nortt
of this , which is a coast out
lot. To run over thU require !
twelve hours more time thai
are required via the Union Pa
cilio lino. To reach Puget Souiu
the Union Pacific is compelled to use 151
miles of track of the Northern Pacific , whicl
Is that portion between Portland and Olyui
pla andTacoma. In this way , both line ;
have access to the Puget sound points ; but ,
according to reports , neither has been satis
fled with them. Some tlruo ago , the Unloi
Pacific , which is lessco of tbo Navigatioi
line , inudo a proposition to the Northern Pa
cilio for the cancellation of the present am
the entering into of a Joint lease of both com
panics. Tais subject was under cousidcra
tion for some tiuio , but thn request by tin
former was moro than the latter cared tc
grant , In consequence , the deal has taller
through. Following-this , came the Issue ot
Puget sound traQlc , which is now an im
portant issue before the railway world. Tin
action of the Northern pacific is regarded as
final and the collapse of the association 1.
consequently anticipated. In view of this
fact , the Union Paclllo has concluded tc
lease that section of the Northern Pacific
between Portland nnd Tacoina , which wil
give them a continuous aud easy line tc
Puget Sound points. Oft
This was decided uponWcdnesday and wil
bo the object of the visit of Vice Prcsiden
Holcomb , ( Jonornl Attorney Thurston , ant
Messrs. ICImball and Mlllard , to that point
to-day.
It is also stated that the Union Pacific wil
endeavor to have the track lease of tin
Northern Pacifiu between Wallace Junctloi
and Portland cancelled. In the event of tin
deal being consummated , that company wil
open up a general western department a
Olyuipiu or Portland , ou an extensive scale
Will Stand No Reduction.
Considerable has been said of Into concern
ing the attitude of the various railroad
toward the Brotherhood of Locomotive i n
giuoers. Reports have been rlfo that certain
tain western roads wcro conspiring to boy
cott the brotherhood men , but as yet m
proof of this alleged fact has been adduced
A telegram In TUB BKE of yesterday , fron
Chicago , concerning the matter , was shown :
member of the brotherhood. Ho read It eve
carefully , and said : "Tills mav bo true , si
far as the action of the railroads is concerned

Schuylor's Social Sensation.
SCHUVLKH , Nob. , May 10. [ Special to Tan
BCK. ] Schuylor hag had a genuine sensa
tion in tlio last few days , caused by the ex
posure of a social scandal that has caused
the co m pie to ruin of two happy families.
Several weeks ago Mr. A. , a highly respected
citizen , was led to bollovo that his wife was
unduly intimate with Will G. McPherson ,
traveling salesman for Richardson , Boynton
& Co. , of Chicago , who resides hero.
McPherson's father recently died , and Mr.
A. niid wife being intlmato friends of the
family , went there to usslst. In the ititddlo
of the night Mr. A. wont into the room where
the body lay and found his wife and young
McPhorsou iu a compromising position. Ho
said nothing but proceeded to investigate.
A few days nfter ho told his wife that ho
was going to a vestry meeting that evening
and would not bo back until 10 o'clock. Ho
went out , but returned in a few moments
ana told Iila wife that ho did not fool wall' ,
and would remain at home. In a few mo
ments there was a gentle knock at the back
door. Ho quickly opened It , and there stood
McPhcraon , who became confused and re
fused , to outer , and quickly disappeared in
the darkness. Ho then charged his wife
with infidelity , and she broke down and con
fessed.
Mr. A. then procured an attorney ,
who took her written confession ,
which stated that her relations with
McPherson antedated three years.
The attorney droiv.up a deed convoying to
her husband what property ho had deeded
to her , and she pittuec } It aud last Saturday
morning she took Jho early morning train
for Chicago. It now develops that for a lone
tluio the neighborsliu'd suspected something
wrong on account of . .McPhorson's frequent
visits when Mr , A..was . away. Procoeod-
ings for a divorce have already bean begun.
What mnkos the mjitlcr more aggravating is
the fact that McPherson was an intimate
friend of Mr. A. | < 1
MoPhorson has ft- lovely wife and two
children. Ho bus Joft homo and his whereabouts -
abouts nro ut present unknown. Should ho
venture to return to1'Schuylor ho will bo
promptly arrested. "Mr. A. was a kind and
affectionate husband and their homo Ufa had
always boon harmottlous. Ho was building
a commodious resldunco in the southern part
of the citv , which Is * ftbout tmlf completed.
Public indignation U'-'lntcnso , and McPhcr-
son Is 11 ncly to meetwith ! a warm reception
should ho return , , ,
