ing eleven counties In tlio state have not
reported to the auditor their abstracts of
assessments : nanner , Iloyil , Drown , Cedar.
Dodge. Frontier , Grant , Howard , Nemaha ,
Saunders and Sheridan. The law provides
that they shall report said assessment valua
tion before the 10th of July. The State
Board of Equalization meets on the 20th
Inst. , and It Is that the clerks in the audit
or's ofilco may prepare tlio Hats properly
that the limit of tlmo is fixed on July 10.
There Is no penalty , legally , for non-compll-
anco with the law , but it is supposed that
each county clerk will see that sucli reports
are promptly inndo. As estimated In thu
auditor's olllce , there will bo a decrease of
about $1.01,0,000 In thu valuation. At the
levy , 7 mills , this will cause a decrease of
at least $280,000 In collectable taxes for

COLUMBUS , Nob. , July 11. ( Special. )
The neighborhood called Wntorvllle , eighteen
miles northwest ot this city , is just now
enjoying the tail end of a scandal which
covora a period of four years. About four
year ago Charles Dockhorn , a young German ,
drifted Into this neighborhood and went to
work on the farm of George Alexander.
Alexander boon became suspicious of Dock-
horn , whom ho thought was too Intimate
with his wife. This culminated In a family
brawl and finally resulted In a divorce suit
in the district court , the details of which
weru disgusting. At that time public sym
pathy was almost entirely with lrs. Alexan
der and thu young German. Dockhorn soon
married a respectable young lady ot the
neighborhood , a daughter of Al Russell.
Alexander married again and now lives In
Monroe. Mrs. Alexander died soon after , as
many believe , from a broken heart. Dock-
horn got $1,000 from Germany , bought a
farm and Bottled down and has over since
been a hard working , industrious man. until
Monday when ho went to Russell , his
father-in-law and confessed his
- - , Intimacy
with Mrs. Alexander , cussed himself , claimed
ho was unfit to live and departed on foot
and ban not since been seen. Ills young
wife relates a horrible tale of cruelty and
abuse the past two years. Nothing Is known
of Dockhorn's whereabouts , but should ho
show up ho will probably be roughly dealt
with by on enraged and incensed com
munity.

anything spiritual can come out of Franco.
Mrs. Ford said it was only lately that anyone

but left you In despair.
Charles Baudelaire , who died in 185C , is

was Us doom. The people who did not read

Ho was an Idealist and set up a goal which
the pools of today are trying to reach.

Ing houses were also put In a class by them

as nt present outlined , Includes the ascent
of the Missouri river to the mouth of the
Yellowstone , and thencis up this water cotirso
to the vicinity of the Yellowstone park ,
whore thu parly will tlo up their craft and
talte wagons through the national reserves.
The boat , in which the voyage will betaken
taken , Is a very graceful ono , thirty feet
In length , and is equipped with side cur
tains , which completely enclose the cockpit
of the mlniture craft , in which the trio will
voyage. In rainy weather , these may bo
closely drawn , also serving as a protection
at night when the crulbers take their repose
In the bottom of the boat on rubber mat
tresses provided for the purpose. All the
meals will bo cooked on thu boat while en
route , and the trio uxpect to conduct tholr
trip in this respect Independent of the people

Mr. Parker and Mr. Morris have had con
siderable experience In this line of pleasure
seeking from a number of canoe trips which
they took together clown the Platte river
and other streams In the state. A largo
equipment of guns and fishing tackle will
b taken along , and many Hide excursions
along the river will be taken In search of the
finny and feathered denizens of the region
traversed. The boat Is capable of travel
ing ton or twelve mlleH an hour , and little
trouble is contemplated in ascending the
muddy and treacherous Missouri. The re
turn trip will also bo mnilo by water , and It
is expected that much hotter time will bo
inoilu than on tlm outward bound voyage , aa
the current , which runs nix to eight miles
an hour , will considerably assist the small

death of the unfortunate woman , occurred
last Tuesday afternoon at about G o'clock.
At that hour Mra. MeKlllop rushed out of
the house , screaming wildly and with her
clothing enveloped In flames. The Bcrcama
called to her assistance a number of women
who live in the neighborhood. In their ex
citement the women wiru unuhlo to extin
guish the flames at once. A bucket of
water was thrown over the burning woman ,
hut with little result. Finally , however , the
flames were apparently put out , but after
shu was placed upon a hod , it was illH-
covered that they were utlll smoldering In
hnr clothing. Physicians were called , but
they ut once announced that there was no
hope for the woman. That portion of her
body about the hips and stomach was so
badly burned that thcrii wan no chance ot
recovery. She retained conuclousncsa
enough to relate the manner of the acci
dent. She ut at ( M ! that tlio hail lighted a
