LINCOLN , Sursmon , Nob. , Aug. 4.
[ Special Telegram to TUB BBK. ] An Immense
menso crowd gathered last evening nt the
speakers' ' stand In the grove and listened to
nn eloquent nnd rousing speech by General
Russell. Ills reminiscences of the rebellion
brought chcor after cheer from the enthused -
thusod audience. Colonel Majors and Gen
eral Dllworth entertained their old com
rades for n few moments by recalling very
interesting sketches of the campaign , and
especially under their commanders , Grant
nnd Sherman , to whom they paid the most
glowing tributes. Their hearty wishes for
the future welfare of the comrades brought
the veteran * to their feet nnd three cheers
wore given for the speakers of the evening.
The oftlunrs of the militia nnd the KIrst
Regiment band inarched to the rcsldcnco of
Commander Adams , nnd , with the ofllcors
drawn up In line at parade rest , the band
rendered nn exquisite serenade , after which
it wna entertained in tiio most hospita
ble milliner by the commander.
At 10:30 : today General Uanback read tele
grams of regret from many who could not be
present. These were followed byaddre scs
from the general.
Comtimmlcr Ailnnn Trained.
Ho particularly Impressed on the audlenco
how much they owed to Commander Adams
tor his sulcndtd management nnd good order
of the reunion. The most hearty applause
was given these closing remarks.
At noon Governor Crounso arrived and was
escorted to camp. As ho was being wel-
oomod nt headquarters battery A gave a
thundering salute of thirteen guns'to the
honored guest. Ho inspected the camp.
The tents in their perfect neatness were
thrown wide open and no flaw could bo dis
covered. Not even a stray paper blown by
the wind was allowed to rest near them.
( ? ucce rul Slmiu llattlo.
At 2:110 : the assembly sounded and the old
veterans , militia and band proceeded to form
In line for the sham battlo. Fully 18,000
people watched the bogus rebel forces take
their stand on the bluffs , build entrench
ments nnd throw out the skirmish line.
Meanwhile , the union forces appeared in the
valley a half-milo away. The opouiug pun
was lircd from the entrenchments. The
union battery immediately stationed
its guns and then commenced a
heavy artillery duel. The advancing
skirmish line of federals soon ran out the
robs' skirmishers and a floreo contest ca
nned , in the midst of which Colonel J. F.
Kendall with his cavalry company rushed
up , driving the skirmishers to the fort. The
charge of the old veterans and Colonel Ken
dall's attempt to flank the Johnnies was the
first time repulsed , but the second attempt
the stars and stripes was planted flrmly on
the fort built by the confederates.
The battle was under the charge of Gcn-
cral J. M. Thayer and General C. J. Dll
worth , so that it could not bo otherwise
than a success. Tlio dress parade by the
national guards at G o'clock was witnessed
by a largo crowd. On the evening train
came Hon. John J. Ingalls. Ho was royally re
ceived by the officers of the cnmp nnd ad
dressed the large crowd awaiting him this
evening at 8 o'clock.

STATE ASSESSMENT- ROLL
Valuation of Nebraska's ' Property is Con

ABOUT ONE-TENTH OF CASH VALUE
How it Is Apportioned Amonc the Several
Counties Lincoln 1'ollce Make if
Startling Discovery of n
Itacy Character.
LINCOLN , Aug. 4. [ Special to THE BBE.J
Chief Clerk Everett Babcock this forenoon
completed the work on the annual state as
sessment roll. The total state levy amounts
to ( J % mills , which upon the assessed valua
tion of all property in the state , $194,733-
124.73 , will raise a revenue of ? l,2Caoy3.50.
The assessed valuation of the state is con
sidered ridiculously low. At the auditor's
ofllco it is estimated that the average
assessment Is about one-tenth of the actual
cash value of the property. Multiplying the
total vnlimtloiutis rofl rued by the assessors
by ton , the total value of all kinds of prop
erty In Nebraska would thus amount to tbo
sum of $ l,047a31,247.ao. The revenue accru
ing to the state Is atlportionod among the
several counties ns follows , the first column

JIttilo n Startling find.
The police raided a suspected block ut the
corner of Twenty-first nnd O.streots last
night uud made ono or two startling discov
eries that will , in time , doubtless furnish the
material for ono or moro racy divorce casos.
They found in Qno room a inun and a woman ,
both well Known and highly connected in the
city , The gentleman's wife happened , however -
over , to bo visiting for the summer in the
east and the lady's husband was also out of
the city , The man in the case at first blus
tered and threatened and attempted to pull
a gun , but he finally wilted and
begKOd for the secrecy of the police.
After some little negotiation ho
paid a regular fine for himself and his female
companion , and both were allowed to depart.
The woman who managed the house was
arrested , together with two young women.
Thny gave their names at the police station
as Mn. S. D. Kempton , Stella Vernon and
Jonulo Booth. The latter girl is already
known to the police , but Miss Vernon , ns iho
calls herself , Is a stranger , bhe Is both
handsome and elegantly dressed , and was
greatly embarrassed at the police court this
afternoon when called for trial. Ex-Attorney
General l eoso has been retained to defend
the trio and the cu o was continued until
next Monday afternoon.

accid eni. All lait night ho was so vloleu
that it required several men to prevent him

state that ho has bccomo mentally unbal
anced. No blame is attached to him by the
parents or friends of the little boy who mot
death under nls cor.
The child died last night from the effects
of his injuries. Ho was a handsome little
follow nnd THIS a general favorite in the
neighborhood. His parents are visiting the
family of Mrs. Harper's brother , P. M. Collard -
lard , and have but few acquaintances in the
city. Mrs. Harper is the mother of another
child but a few days old and was conflnod to
her room when the nccidont occurred.
! ho saw it from the window and her ngonlz-
ng shriek was the first intimation that her
msband had of the fact that the cblld had
icon run down and killed.
Selected a Now Chancellor.
Dr. Isaao Crook , LL.D. and D.D. , late of
.ho . University of the Haclflc , has been so-
"octed as the successor of Her. C. F.
Drelghton , chancellor of the Wosloyau
Vlothodist university near this city. The
selection of Dr. Crook was something of a
suiurisoco many people , ns it had boon pen-
orally understood that the trustees would
select Dr. A. J. Talbot of Now Albany , Ind.
A committed of the trustees appointed for
.ho purpose had recommended Dr. Talbot ,
> ut when tbo whole board mot last ovcnlng
.ho . committee's choice was disregarded and
Jr. Crook elected. Three ballots were taken ,

Lasby , pastor of St. Paul's Methodist Epis

of Hot Springs , S. D. Dr. Crook is well
< nown In university circles on the Pacific

Sued for False Arreit
J. H. Luke has commenced a suit In dis
trict court in which ho asks for 95,000 dam-
agot from C.V. . Axtoll , whom ho accuses of
making a falsa arrest. III.s petition recites
that last February ho was arrested on a
warrant sworn out by Axtoll In the county
court on the charge of misappropriating a
sum of money , amounting to about $100. He
was placed behind a grated door In the
county jail for trronty-four hours and then
released without further prosecution. Ho
now claims that his arrest resulted In about
$5,000 worth of Inlury to his reputation nnd
peace of mind , lie claims that ho had bor
rowed $100 from a brother of the defendant ,
and that because ho was unable to moot the
note when it became duo Axtoll had him ar
rested merely to frighten him Into a speedy
settlement.
