The county board of equalization took up
Jim Crclghton's complaint against the low
assessment of TUB Bnis building nnd Boo
Publishing companies yesterday morning ,
nnd heard arguments from both sides , Mr.
Edward Roscwutor , editor of TUB HER , was
thcro when the board convened , nnd was
heard In defense of the assessments made on
his property. Ho showed that the valuations ,
amounting In all to about $50,000 , were ns
high as they should bo , nnd that an honest
assessment , both ns to real estate nnd per
sonal property , had been mado. Creighton
fumed nnd frothed in n painful attempt to
create on Impression that his action was in
spired by motives wholly In the interest of
iho working people , whoso per cent of taxa
tion should bo no greater than that ot the
wealthy class. The board Intimated
to the gentleman , however , ttntt
ho was sailing on a rotten string , nud had
better subside. Subsequently Dr. George L.
Miller , representing tno New York LIfo
building , against which Croighton had also
filed complaint , uppcuwd und was heard. Ho
Bald that the motive back of this complaint
was ono of mnllcu , because ho had signed n
petition to have the now postofllco located at
Eighteenth nud Farnnm streets. At the
tlmo ha did this Crctghton gave It out that
ho would get even. Another strong point
mudo by the doctor was that hud his people
naked a bonus of ? 3QCO ( ) from citizens of
Omaha to put up such a building as the ono
erected by them they would have got It , and
an accompanying agreement exempting them
entirely from luxation for a numborof years.
Ho also said that Mr. Rosowatcr hail erected
n monument so creditable to Omaha that ho
ought not to bo called ou to pay any taxes
this ycur nor next.
The county commissioners met ns a board
of equalization last evening with Messrs.
Turner , Mount and O'Kcolte present. After
disposing of a quantity of minor business ,
the complaints of Jim Creighton against the
Bco building were again taken up. Com
missioner O'.Kcoflo said : "My sentiments
are that the complaints against The Bea
Publishing company and The Bco Building
company , are unfair nnd groundless , und I
move that said complniuts bo dismissed by
unanimous consent of this board.
Commissioner Mount seconded the motion
and Commissioner Turner concurred , and
supported his stand by saying : "It would
bo unjust to countenance theoe complaints ,
AS it would bo taxing ono person's property
that is exempted in other Instances , and
under the same circumstances. "
The motion to dismiss all complaints of
undcr-voluatlon as regards THE BKI : prop
erty , both personal and real , was then unan
imously orucrcd spread upon the records.
After the motion was made u mutter of
record Commissioner Mount said : The mo
tives in filin thc compluiut against Tin : BUB
company are self-oxplanutory. It nns been
n custom Invariably adhered to that build
ings In the course of construction nro
exempted from full assessment. During the
time the Paxton building was undergoing
construction only the lot upon which it is
built was assessed. The same way in the
case of the United States Notional bank
properly , the Humgo property , the Commer
cial National bnnvc property , and I could
onumcrato many other cusen where build
ings have not been assessed while under
going construction , and thorn ure cases where
no nascusmcnt has been levied until tha
building was all but completed. I have no
desire to tuko a hand in tlio fight between
Mr. Ilosowuter und mr. Croiphton , but I will
do my duty us un olllcial , no matter what the
result. I will suy this , after looking into
every txnut in the case , that the complaints
were entirely unwarranted. "
"I look at it in about the same way , "
added Commissioner Turner. ' ! have posi
tive knowledge that no assessment bus over
bean levied on property , in the line of u
building , while It was undergoing construc
tion. It would bo wrong to assess one man
ana exempt another under the same condi
tions. "
After disposing of the Crclirhton com
plaints , the board turned its attention to the
railway assessment. In the Fifth ward ,
blocks 333 und ! 134 , property of the Union Pa
cific company , were reduced from § 40,700 to
UiO.OOO. Lusv year it was $10,700. The
Unlnn Pacific headquarters building nnd
property , assessed ut 538,000 last year , and
fcJO.lXX ) this year , was raised to $38,000 , tno
some us last year. Last year lots 7 und 8 , in
block 8 , were assessed at ? < 5,000 , and a cleri
cal error made it fOO.OOO. For some unac
countable reason the error escaped the no-
tlco of the tax auditor of the Union Pacific
ns well , und the company paid tuxes on a
tCO.OOO assessment. The lots In question
have no improvements , aside from a switch
house und switch tracks. The assessment this
year was 148,000 , the opinion of the board
being that the assessor adhered to the $00,000
assessment and disregarded the actual value.
The board placed the nsscssment at $10.000
en account of error. The complaints of Jim
Croighton on the New York Life property
asscbBinunt were dismissed on motion of
Commissioner O'Kceffo , tto entire board
concurring. The assessment of C. E.
Mayno's addition , In the First ward , was
raised 10 per cent , making its levy $55 per
lot. Lots in River View were raised K ench.
Lots in Tom Murruy's addition to Oklahoma
were reduced ! iS per cent from the ro turns of
the assessor , making the assessment aggre
gate about $185 per lot. The board will con
vene uguin Monday morning.
PENNSYLVANIA IS OHDUKATE.
Tlio Appeal of tha Chicago Commlt-
tco In Vain.
CHICAGO , July 0. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BBB. ] The Chicago committee of the
Central Traftlo association failed In the at
tempt this morning to Induce the Pennsyl
vania to forego the reduction on wheat and
corn rates. Every possible argument was
brought to bear , but in vain. Tha Pennsyl
vania not only insisted on making the reduc
tion , but extended the territory over which
the reduced rates apply. The Baltlrao-o &
Ohio reduced wheat rates to Baltimore and
Philadelphia to IT and 18 cents respectively.
The Pennsylvania notoniy meets these rates ,
but also reduces the Now York rate proportionally
tionally to 80 cents. The reduction
to 12 } { cents to Plttsburg nnd Allegheny
has already been noted. This extension
of the reductions to now territory was
carried out further by the Pennsylvania m
applying the reduced rates to St. Louis aud
common territory. Energetic objection was
inndo to this , but it availed nothing. The
Ponnsylvanlu-took the bit between Its tooth
and was only with dltUculty dissuaded from
applying the reduced ratotoall classes of
gralu and Hour.
Moro than ono onlelal of the Central Traftlo
roads has expressed the belief that before
July 15 the reduced rates will extend to nil
Central Traffic and trunk line points nud
include all Hour , gram aod perhaps provis
ions ,
A report was circulated to-day and gained
universal credauco , that the Union Pacific
would give notice of its withdrawal
at next Wednesday's meeting from the
Intor-Stato Commerce Railway association.
Foundation wa § found for the report in the
fact that the Union Pacific had Joined in the
ullogcd reduction of passenger rates both
ways between Chicago and Denver from
130.05 to $20. Said ono of the members of
the association when asked ubout tbo situa-
"I can not BOO whnt the Union Paclflo Is
driving at unless It intends to withdraw.
The corner stouo of the president' * associa
tion i the maintenance of rates. That la
practically Us only mission. President
Adams , of the Union Pacltlo , was mainly
instrumental m forming tha association , and
now ho U ono of the first to entirely Ignore
its purpose. To say the least ho has placed
iiimttolf in an extremely unfortunate position
even If ho Intends to withdraw. Ilia
proper coureo wpuld have beoc
to c'vo ' notice of withdrawal 01
the Alton did nnd bc an mnklne reductions
afterward. If ho doesn't intend to withdraw ,
tbcro seems no possible explanation of his
action. Ho certainly can't expect to trample
on our rules In this rough-shod style and
expect us to stand it. Ho may bo a big man
n the past , but ho is not as big n man In
Jhlcngo. Wo have not forgotten that while
ho was In Chicago wo failed utterly to form
an association. When ho loft tha meeting
Tor homo , going llko a spoiled child because
! io couldn't have everything his own way. ho
liad not reached the depot In Chicago bcforo
wo had the agreement completed and signed.
My candid opinion of Mr , Adams Is that ho
Is a pesky little marplot. "
On ncrount of the reduction In Denver
nasscnpcr rates , n meeting of the Trans-
Mlf.ourl association was called for to-day In
Kansas City by Chairman X.I nicy. In tne
evening the following telegram was received
From General Passenger Agent Sebastian , of
the Rock Island ! *
"KANSAS CITV , JulyO. Allllnes Interested
in Colorado traffic ntrongly oppose the Alton
and Union Paclllo reductions. The Missouri
t'nelflo KHVO notice to-day that in order to
protect Tt St. Louis business against the ac
tion of the above companies , It would bo
necessary for them to reduce their basing
rate between Kansas City & St. Louis from
? 7.8r to M.71 , and that the cut would notoniy
extend to St. Louts , but the same basing rnto
would bo used for all other points cast , which
will draw In the lines via Cnlcugo. "
In explanation of the above , It may bo said
that to maku the (20 Denver-Chicago rnto
the basing rnto of the lines east of the Mis

cast of the river. In addition to this cut
must now be added that of the Missouri Pa-
clllo from $7.00 to $1.71. a total cut In the
busing rale of $7.44. This will undoubtedly
cause great demoralization and materially
drag down rates from the Missouri to
Shlcngo and St. Louis. The resulting
loss of revenue will bo enormous. The
original basing rate before the Alton
cut was $12.50. This Is practically a cut to

The Vandalm Takes n Hand.
Ss. Lot'is , July 0.--Tho cut In rates on
wheat nnd corn In cur-load lots from East
St. Louis to the seaboard , announced by the
Vandulla last night , seems to have been un
expected by tie ! eastern lines , and not n few
denials of the reliability of the annoUnco-
nent were Indulged In. But the 0
cent cut was inudc. In nn Interview
with an ARsocmtc.il press reporter Hlb-
) .ird said : "Thoro Is no mistake about
the tariff sheet issued last night. It will bo
effective on July 10 and fixes the rate on
wheat and corn on u basis of 20 cents per 100
munds from Chicago to New York. The
inly difference between our action und that
of the Baltimore & Ohio is that wo propose
o carry corn coming from Nebraska and
'Cansus or other points , from East St. Lotus
to Now York for 20 cents per 100 pounds ,
and wo also propose to carry corn in St.
Louis or In East St. Louis elevators ut W
cents. Now the Baltimore & Ohio proposes
.o carry wheat and corn coming from
X'ebnsska , Kansas , etc. , from East St. Louise
o the sctiDoard at 20 cents and wheat und
corn in St. Louis und East St. Louis clovu-
ors to sumo destination for 20 cents. Wo
.hink our pioposition the fairest to the pub
ic at large , nnd wholly devoid of favoiilism ,
und uro willing to accept the verdict of ship
pers on that score. "
An Oniclul Talks.
BAi/nsionn , July 0. The Baltimore &
Ohio has not taken any action in regard to
\io order of President Ingalls , of the Big
Tour , for the cut of U cents below the now
rates of the Baltimore & Ohio on freight
east from Chicago. A prominent oillcial of
the Baltimore & Ohio said to-uay : "Wo cx-
) ccted Ingalls to tuko the uction
10 did. Ho has been cutting rates
richt aud left und we were
omuellca to reduce to 17 cents. Ingalls Is
ntercsted in the Chesapeake & Ohio railway
as well as tbo Big Four , and he will continue
to send all the grain hu can procure to New-
tort News , there to bo shipped to Europe ,
lad not the Baltimore & Ohio taken the
step It did at Baltimore , the merchants
would find their largo and lucrative grain
trude transferred to Now York , Philadelphia
and Newport News. " The Baltimore &
Dhio does not expect much grain traffic from
Chicago cast , but by the reduced rate it is
jossiblc for it to get much grain from Iowa
uid Nebraska by way of Bcardstowu , and
From Missouri und Kansas by way of St.
Louis.

gram to THE BBB. | The most of to-day in
the constitutional convention was consumed
in tne discussion of the rooort of the committee
mitteeon rules , action upon , which was
finally postponed until Monday. Some ex
citement was caused by M. N. Johnson , tbo
defeated Farmers' alliance candidate for the
presidency of the convention , who introduced
a resolution excluding Marshall McClurc ,
editor of the Devil's Lake Capitol , from tbo
floor , McCluro's provocation was an edi
torial In which ho called Johnson a crank
and accused his brother , who has been help
ing him fight his political battles , of being un
anarchist. Johnson made n fiery speech
against McCluro. The resolution was voted
down uy a largo majority , and McClure
declared eternal war ou Johnson ,
It Is rumored to-day that the dissatisfied
republicans have entered into an agreement
with the democrats to take the power of up-
poln ting committees from the president and
naming them by a majority vote of the con
vention , Several railroad representatives
are already on tha ground watching the
movements of the convention with 'much in
terest , and it Is evident that they expect a
hard light to protect their Interests against
radical former measures. However , the
election of a Farmers' alliance president
does not necessarily mean a purely farmers'
constitution , and a gentleman who has made
a thorough canvass of the situation says
thcro Is a clear working majority against the
alliance.
The United States senatorial fight is al
ready entering into lobby discussions in and
about the convention , and candidates are ou
the ground talcing care of their Interests.
Ex-Governor Ordwuy and ox-Governor

The organization of the convention was
completed to-day utter an exciting session of
ballotlncr. Tha republicans captured every
office , and the liquor men are beginning to
appear aud the prohibition question will
soon begin to take shape. As an issue It iu
already evident that the $20,000 appropriated
by congress will not bo sufficient to defray
the expenses of tha convention , and a call
may bo made for more. If this Is net done
it will bu necessary to adopt an ordinance
for the payment of the deficiency.

LINCOLN. July 0. I
Notwithstanding the great cut made on
, ho appropriations to sustain the stnto mill-
tla by the late legislature , nn oftort will bo
mailo to sustain it In tha sumo manner as
icrctoforc. It Is learned that the adjutant
general Is In rccnlpt of letters from the cap-
ulns of the various companies of the no-
called standing army , throughout the state ,
nqulrlnglug about the annual encampment
the law creating this body says shall bo held.
[ t Is nrgued on the street corners that tlio
fact has boon overlooked that the law Is
compulsory. For a time after the cut on the
loproprlatlon the state inllltln dropped out
of sight , nnd until within tlio past
day or two has seemingly boon
forgotten. It was then tacitly understood
that tlio encampment and drill exorcises us n
whole would have to bo dropped , for the very
good reason that the appropriation was not
suflleleiit to sustain ana keep It up. It leaks
out , however , that thin Is not to bo the case.
The adjutant poncrul advises the boys , In
onswor to letters fit Inquiry ho receives , cit
ing the law written upon the statute books ,
and says the encampments must bo hold , and
arrangements uro accordingly bnlng made to
Lhis cnil. If the appropriation proves to bo
too small to sustain the encampment , and 'n
debt ts created , the next assembly of law
makers will bo asked for a deficiency appro
priation , and the law creating the body and
leiinlng its purpose and duties will bo cited
.0 impel them to pass an uct allowing it.
This riovo on the part of the adjutant gon-
3nil and the leaders of tU < 3 saJiiAC Modelings
is creating no little stir.

Yesterday's rrnccdllinfcfl of Tlielr
Confltltutlnunl Conventions.
Sioux FAtw , S. D. , 'JVily 0.-fSp3ei\l (
Telegram to TUB BEn PI have bom
talking for prohibition. Jn "every county in
South Dakota , and the mnfcndmont to the
constitution , when It Is submitted to the people
ple at tbo polls on the l < i ( day ot October , at
the tlmo our stnto constitution Is ratified ,
will rncolvo n larger vote ; than the last tlmo
It received n majority artprtfvnl. I toll you ,
prohibition Is growing 111 "South Dakota , nnd
its friends are going dcnWJtito their pockets
to moot the work of the enemy. "
Immediately after thciOonstitutionnl con
vention adjourned this evening a prohibition
meeting was held In the hall. It was called
at the request of forty-two of the seventy
constitutional delegates , and there were
present representative prohibitionists from
every part ot South Dakota. During the
progress of the mooting , which was
presided over by Delegate Clough , of Water-
town , nnd Avhllo reports upon the
progress of the campaign were being read ,
an lutr.'t/gcnt advocate gave utterance to
the paragraph quoted at the beginning of
this despatch. Tlio sentiment was applauded
to the echo. This is the element which is
golnir to contribute a lively feature to the
campaign , which opens as soon as the repub
lican candidates are named at the convention
on August S3. Hero , as elsewhere , the pro
hibition campaign Is run by tlio republicans.
But , unlike these In the states , they don't
propose to antagonize the regular republican
nominees by placing candidates in the Hold.
They Know that If ttioy secure constitutional
prohibition it will bo througli republican
votes , as the republican majority In South
Dakota is probably 23,003. On the contrary ,
they are courting republican favor. They
will not ask to have a prohibition clause In
serted in the constitution hero , but they will
submit It as nn amendment \vfioti the
constitution is voted upon the llrst day
of next October , At the sumo time woman
suffrage nnd minority representation amend
ments will bo voted upon. But the prohibi
tionists are making no combination or trades.
They &ro landing 11 nil and alone und they
uro confident they will win. The constitu
tional convention lias about
fltty-four repub
lican and twenty-one democratic dologiiU'4 , .
and there are nearly If not quite fifty who will
vote for prohibition and work In Its Interest
so long us It is in n separate position nnd
stands upon Its own merits. This question
will make things exceedingly interesting on
election day in October , and the prospect is
that it will succeed. When it was an
nounced during tbo progress of the meet
ings that Governor Mcllette , who is to bo
the republican nominee for governor , was
wearing a prohibition pin , a scream of ap
proval nud a roar ot applause went up high.
The constitutional convention , during its
session of an hour nnd a half this afternoon ,
completed all ef its work of organization ex
cept the appointment of its standing com
mittees. President Edgertou will name
thorn on Monday afternoon. Ho will at the
sauio tlmo announce the names of the seven
delegates from thu convention who are to
constitute the committee to go to Bismarck
und uct with a similar committee In determin
ing upon an equitable division of the terri
tory's assets , liabilities und records. The
proposition to send a committee to Bismarck
to settle the seventh standard parallel dis
pute , involving the boundary line between
North and South Dakota , was referred to
the committee on boundary lino.

A BIG GKAIN DEAL.
That Is AVhy the B. & O. Cut Kates On
Corn.
ST. Louis , July 0. The Ucpublio gives the
following us the reason for the recent cut in
corn rates by the Baltimore & Ohio road :
"There bus been some speculation as to the
causes which induced the Baltimore & Ohio
people to make the cut , and it Is believed by
some of the freight men , who have obtained
their information from local representatives
of their road throughout Kansas and Iowa and
Nebraska , that a big deal in grain for export
is being engineered by Gill & Fisher , of Bal
timoro. Word comes from grain points
throughout these states that buyers for this
firm nave boon busy for some weeks pur
chasing all tlio grain they could get and that
the Baltimore & Ohio road had been taken
into the schema ; and now being ready to
move tbo grain announced a tariJT in accord
ance with the arrangements heretofore
made. "

n Ghostly Burlesauc Crowds
Contlmtb to four Into
Ilcntrlcr ; .
Gliosts on the Ground * .
CncTi : AssBMiit/r GIIOUNDS , July 0. [ Spe
cial to Tun BEE. ] The convulsions of
laughter created by the "ghosts" ot last
evening have not yet wholly subsided. The
ghostly burlesque was BO funny that people
laugh oven at the romoinbranco of It. Per
haps the fact that the novel performance
was undeniably realistic , as well ns kllllngly
funny , accounts for the Intense mirth of tlio
spectators. The phosts were attired in the
usual sheet and jilllow-cuso costume * , and
were carefully marked. They were moro
than fifty In number , and presented u comical
spectacle , ni they came hurrying from every
direction upon the dimly lighted platform ,
singing a ghostly greeting. They were
the liveliest , wittiest , most know
ing' nnd most sarcastic and humorous
ghosU that were over resurrected. Their
programme consisted of a scries of exceedingly -
ingly well-conceived and successfully exe
cuted ' 'tako off * " of these who have n prom
inent place on thin year's programme. None
of the leaders were sp ired by the mhntcliig
ghostly actors , nnd the audlcuco recognized
each character with peals of merriment.
' 'Climbing Jacob's Ladder , " ' 'Madam Carry-
train , " and the baby that was lost nnd found
were among the funniest features of the per
formance. Altogether the ghosts were a
great success , and the manner In which they
were enjoyed by pooplc of every ago and
condition , shows that n little humor now nnd
then is not only relished by the best of men ,
'tout Is also relished by a whole assembly.
This Is a day of lesson reviews , and ii was
thought best to huvo thorn occur
on the uavilion platform , that parents
and the public in general might see
what has been accomplished by these in the
younger classes during the ten days of the
session. These public reviews were not
designed , to show off the children , but to
show the public the plr.n of work nnd the
good that is hoped to bo accomplished in
these classes. All the classes of the morn
ing mot ns usual. Prof. Palmer's chorus
spent the hour in practicing anthems and
hymns for the Sunday service ; Prof.
Jucoby's normal class started the feast days
and holy days of the nncionts , giving espe
cial attention to the Sabbath. Dr. Duryca's
10 o'clock lecture to his Bible class was a
continuation of the scries on the Old Testa
ment. The nblo tuachor sproail before his
attentive students the whole history of Israel
like a map ; ha showed them that the Old
Tcstamcnx isn't ' n dead book , but that
the lessons and principles recorded In
it are for people of today us well ns for the
Israelites. Mo es said to these people :
"Liivo together in righteousness nnd wisuoui
and you will be prosperous and. happy , but
Uvo In folly and unrighteousness and your
nation will ultimately go to pieces. " They
wore given a promise and a warning and out
of these came the prediction. Wo can always
tell the result of a movement if wo know its
energy and direction. Every movement
that has .energy nnd uscfulocs and righteous
ness in it will abide , but every useless and
unrighteous thing will go to pieces , whether
it bo a man or a nation. Klchtcousncss cx-
altcth a nation nothing else docs. Dr. Dur-
yeu's illustrations nnd applications of these
truths were very graphic and interesting , as
well as torso and practical.
At 11 o'clock the children's class assembled ,
and the Palestine class in the pavilion for
the lesson reviews. These reviews were
conducted by Mrs. Kennedy , nnd showed
much careful and systematic instruction on
tho'part of the teacher aud much attention
and thought on the part of the little folks.
It was surprising to see how much these
children knew about the bible , the people
who wrote it and the fur away land where
events it records occurred.
To-day seems review day not only for chil
dren , but for their elders , who , as they hap
pen to meet here und there , casually refer to
the events of the two past days. To-day THE
BKE reporter passed a group of Grand Army
men sitting under n tree eating their noon
day lunch nnd discussing events of tlio
Fourth hero at the assembly.
"Wero you present , " said ono , "whon the
826 old soldiers , representing twonty-ono
states and the United States navy and regu
lars , stood m u circle and answered to the
roll cull by states ? It was a pathetic sight.
Some of the men had empty sleeves , others
hud crutches , and the mnjonty hud faces
worn and old before their time because of
the Hardships of war. They were so pleased
to moot comrades from their native states.
When Illinois was called fifty-six men rushed
forward , and shouting , 'Elore wo cornel Sco
how many of us got homo I" they clasped
bunds , and some of them wool for Joy. When
Rhode Island was called ono man hurried
forward , and looking eacerly around , found
himself alone , and wept that it was ho. "
The event of to-day was the children's pro
cession ut 2 p. m. nnd the "Chalk Talk" by
Prof. Beard. The children met at Normal
hall , and headed by the Crete cornet baud
inarched to the pavilion. After interesting
opening exercises Dr. Dunning was intro
duced to the children , and was received with
npplauso und tbo Chuutuuqua salute. His
cnurming little address was greatly enjoyed
by the little ncoplo. So also was the line
cornet solo by Miss Park nnd the reading
by Prof. Beat , of Michigan. The remainder
of the hour was spent in listening to Frank
Beard's stories and looking at bis pleasing
pictures.
The graduating class numbered
thirteen. The graduating exercises were in
teresting and well attended , the address being -
ing given by Alex. MeKenzio , D. D. , of
Massachusetts ; "American Materialism"
was tlis subject of address. The motto of
the class of 'SO , C. L. S. C. , is "Knowledge
unused for the good of others is moro vain
thun unused gold. " The class llower Is the
daisy , and the trnmo of the class is "Tbo
Argonauts. "
