The county commissioners , who for sov-
craldays have boon sitting as a board of
equalization , completed their labors at 0
o'clock Inst night nnd adjourned.
Tlio equalized assessment is 525,179,7 .03 ,
ns against S'J..010,500.00 . for last year.
The levy for the present year wns made
upon a valuation of $25,000,000 , and is as fol
lows :

Total 10 0-10 mills JJT2.500
Last year the levy was also upon the basis
of 3,000,000 valuation , nnd was la 0-10
m1 Us , which raised the sum of W-VW. or
5-50,000 more than this ycnr.
Iu llguiiug up , the commissioners find they
now have&0OUU ! In the gcnur.xl fund , and ,
with the amount of uncollectodtnx of IfcSO
that is now on the books , they believe they

Special Washington Correspondence : At
the tlmo binder twlno was forced up to such
exorbitant Jlgnros the dopaitment of agricul
ture was solicited by the farmers of the weat
to Investigate the subject. Secretary Rusk
has done this. Ho instructed Mr. Charles
Klchnrds Dodge to look Into the matter thor
oughly. The result of his work has Just been
published by the department in n pamphlet
entitled , "A Ueport on Flax , Hemp , Jute nnd
Kninio , Now Soiles , Miscellaneous , rfo. 1.
Division of Statistics. " In thlb report , which
lllls more than ono hundred pages , Mr.
Dodge , after referring to the enormously
high prino of twine lost season , writes urging
the cultivation and substitution of .American
hemp , nnd says :
"And with a llttlo present protection the
foreign libro can bo driven out of the market
and the fuimqr receive A two-fold benefit
irmn.tlioqhauKQ. It IB claimed that .if mnnilhi ,
sisal , sunn , New Zealand and ptucr hemp
substitutes are placed on the list of free raw
materials it will bo because some of tlio farm
ers In the west have demanded it , iu view of
the present agricultural depression , to
cheapen tlio present cost of binder twlno. No
doubt should this occur the few manufactur
ing firms in the United States who produce
binder twlno from foreign libers will thank
those Jarmcis who have actually aided them
in the accomplishment of a much desired
object that they have been unnblo to bring
nhout through their own efforts. There are
many western farmers , however , who look nt
this matter in its true light , ns isshowu by
tlio largo coircspoudonco of the department
relating to liber matters , received since the
fiber investigation began. Tlicso furinerssco
what is the fact , thai every pound of binder
twine used cau bo made df native grown
libers , that the twine will bo as good as the
best manilln , mn as many feet to the pound ,
and can bo produced nta saving of ut least tl
cents u pound from the present prices.
"With tbo foreign fibers the saving to the
limners by the removal of the duty will not
bo over ! cent n pound , nnd It remains to bo
seen whether the fanner will get any ad
vantage.
"It is needless to say that If these foreign
hemp substitutes , and jute especially , nro
.placed upon the free list , these efforts In a
measure will ho hampered and the fanners
themselves will bo the losers. Both binder
twine and cotton bagging should bo nindo
from flax nnd hemp grown 'on American
forms. "
The nhovo being the result of n thorough
nnd ex | > oii8ivo investigation by the depart
ment of agriculture , tlio senate of the United
States should bo careful how it reduces the
tariff on binder twino. There are "Such things
ns "boomerangs" in this country , nnd ns wo
have a great respect for our law makers at
"Washington , it U for this reason that wo say

LIXCOI.V , Nob. , July 10. [ Special to Tun
Bin : , ] An almost Incredible story la told con
cerning the outrageous treatment received by
llttlo Ken \ < \ Snyderat the plaeo Ho calls liomo
on Tenth and A streets. The boy Is In the
employ of tlio Lincoln dlstrlot tolo raph com
pany , working lit night , and his story nohouly
corroborates the reports , but strongly em
phasizes them. Tlio attention of the police
has been called to the matter , and tliat was
how it became public property. Thomanagor
of the company \vns pleased with the boy , as
ho Is a bright und active llttlo follow nnd a
willing woiltcr , but it was noticed that ho
YV.IS always ragged , hungry looking nnd often
lute to work. Tlio night olork llnully decided
to send another messenger boy to the lad's
homo to wako him every evening and tlio true
condition of affairs WAS then revealed. The
boy wns not allowed to sleep In the house nt
all , nnd room wns even boRrudjcd him in
the llltliy old stnblo whcra ho sought refuge.
On the Investigation of Mr. QusVlng \ , the
clerk , It was learned tliut the boy was not al
lowed any thlnp to ent nnd that ho barely kept
soul anil body together by ste.illng und bug
ging what ho could. His father , John Sny-
dcr , always took the .llttlo pittance that the
boy received as wages and never In return
would oven buy mm an article or clothing.
'The boy snys that this course of treatment
has been going on over slnco his father mar
ried his present wife , and that she Is the
main cause of it. She Insisted on the chil
dren being driven off , and ono day the boy
says that the woman struck his little sister.
Since then the child has periodical llts. At
present she isvlth her grandmother.
The boy says further that his cruel step
mother finally forbade him to over come Into
the house and ho had to seek refuge In the
barn. On ono occasion when another messen
ger boy came to awaken him 'at that foul
place , Eldon declared that ho had
had nothing to cat for over
twenty-lour hour. } and ho was
, so hungry that ho ran the risk of sneaking
Into his own rightful homo to grab something
to cat , lie was caught by the fcnmlo who
rules the vlaeo , who , with a string of exple
tives , drove him out , striking him over the
head with a coffee pot. Later hunger drove
him to his uncle's , where he hogged for some
thing to cat. The 'famished boy devoured the
juicy piece of n beef steak given him like a
half-starved animal and then eagerly asked
for uioro. This so enraged Ills uncle that ho
dragged the boy to the woodshed , where ho
ud ministered n terrible beating to the hey
with n board , leaving the little fellow's back
n mass of bruises and cuts. The boy was un-
nblo to do his work that night , and when Mr.
Burton , the big-hearted manager of the Lin
coln district tolegrnph , learned the cause of
the boy's debility ho was so indignant thnt
his first impulse wns to rush off to the uncle ,
Orrln Snydqr , and give him n tot.to of pujiish-
inent himself. On a second thought , ho took
the llttlo fellow to the police station and ex
hibited to the polko tlio terrible condition
of the boy's ' back. The officers hurried off
to the boy's father to have him swear out a
warrant for his brother's airest , but
were astonished to find the father treat the
matter with utter indifference nnd refuse to
swear out n warrant.
The rospoctublo su't ' now worn by the llt
tlo fellow was bought by Mr. Burton , and the
boy is at present filling his hungry stomach
with the refuse ; f rom chop houses and occa
sionally gets a square meal by taking enough
time from his sleeping hours to help s'omo
waiter or cook at his work.

A I.AD W1TU GOOD MOTTLE.
F. Billings took the liberty yesterday to
knock down his married daughter with n
bucket. A warrant was Issued for his nr-
jest , but as he is a wily , and desperate follow
and kuows every ofllccr in , the city , It was
decided to deputise Marshal Mollck's eigh
teen-year-old son to make the arrest. The
boy bravely entered Billings' house , but
while reading the warrant to the follow the
latter grabbed his revolver nnd placing it
against young Mcllck's head threatened to
blow his brains out if ho did not leave the
house. But the lad refused to do this and at
tempted to grasp the desperate fellow's re
volver. Billings saw that ho was confront
ing a boy that knew uo fear and ho changed
his tactics by rushing through the doorway
und pulling the door shut , lockliyr Mcllck In.
But the lad burst the door open witli a

A COUNCIL , COMmXK.
Q"ho old talk of n coancil combine Is being
revived ever the action of n portion of the
council In the matter of tlio paving contracts.
The city advertised some tlrao sinco'for bids
for projected paving und Monday those bids
wcro opened by the board ol public works.
That night they recommended that the bid of
Templeton & Mason bo accepted. Several of
the councihnen with tlio oily Gammon of the
Slith , Colonel Pace , at their head , attempted
to rusu the nward through , but action wns
postponed until yesterday , when the council
mot in special session. Again Pace nnd his
cohorts attempted their rushing tactics , but
were again blocked nnd the award postponed
until next Monday night. The bid of Tem-
ploton & Mason for bricks is Sl.tlS a square
yard , Duffett & Ramsey of Boatilco , Hugh
Murphy of Onmha , John Lanlmm of Lincoln
mid lleilly & Co. of Clilcago having bids
ranging from 81.55 to $1.04. They Immedi
ately raised a howl over the award nnd nro
openly charging skullduggery on the
part of the board of public works.
A valid excuse has boon given
for throwing out , Hclllv's ' bid , because ho did
not furnish samples , but none are given for
the others.
JV lawyer representing mi outside party ,
whoso bid is 0,000 less for tbo curbing portion
tion thnn Templeton & Mason's , called the
attention of Puce to the fact and suggested
that It would be a ( rood idea to let paving
and curbing contracts separate. I'nco replied
that would never do , us the contractor who
tuinlshcd the curbing might hinder the
pavers. The excuse is TOKarued as a flimsy
one , and on a par with tlio ouo Pace gave
for ruahing the nwnrd , viz , tbuttho paving
should be commenced ut crncu.
J. A. Uuckstaff has had the brick contracts
so fur atgl.bl and the combine , if It oxlstn
ns nllogcd , Is in his Interest. Judge Mason ,
of the linn of Templeton & Jilnson , Is un
attorney , and his posing as a paving contrac
tor Is ludicrous , us his phygiriiinn have stated
that ho cannot live n year because of ISrlght's
diseaso. Teni7 > lcton Is n young uiau of
twenty-two , a cleric In the oinnloy of John

object oJ BuckstnlT's doing business la this
way is said to bo a schema merely tq keep
down any Hides that might uilsu over thu
