LINCOLN , July 31. ( Special. ) In crltl-
clnlng the plan to give the members of the
First regiment an claboato reception In this
city some time In September , the populist
state officials and their campaign commit
tee , who are the only persons not thoroughly
In accord with the movement , seem to have
forgotten Governor 1'oyntcr's refusal to
speak at a recent meeting held In the Inter
est * of the reception and that ho afterward
called the attention of his colleagues to the
fact that not a single fuslonlat was given a
place on the program.
When the program committee looked
around for speakers for the occasion the
first man asked was Governor 1'oyntcr , he
being given the first place on the program.
The committee also arranged for Inviting
Dr. II , 0. Rowland , who has openly and se
verely criticised the administration for per
mitting the war to go on In the Philippine
Islands , to open the meeting with prayer.
It was afterward discovered that Dr. How-
lands had previously planned a trip for a
few days previous to the meeting and Ills
place was supplied by Uev. Mr. Eason.
Prominent populists -were asked to occupy
scats on the stage , Including Silas Holcomb ,
the war governor.
Governor Poynter's failure to respond to
the Invitation made It necessary to secure a
BUbstltutc , nnd General Mandcrson consented
to take thu subject that had been assigned
to the chief executive. The disappointment
on the part of the Btato house people arose
from the fact that W. J. Bryan , who occu
pied for about the first time In his life an
obscure scat In the rear of the house , was
not asked upon the stage 'to address the
audience on some of his pet themes.

ments made by Governor Poynter thirty-four

The State Board of Equalization met this
afternoon nnd made the annual levy on taxable
able- property to meet the expenses of the
etato. The only equalizing that was done
was in connection with'tho levy for the
Blnklns and school funds , which varies tu
the different counties. A levy of five mills
was made against all property for the general -
oral fund nnd one mill for the university , the
latter having been provided for by the last
legislature ,
As has been customary for the last several
years the board fixed the levy at a flgur *
much lower than necessary to equal the ap
propriations made by the legislature , the
estimated difference being about $300,000.
The assessed valuation exceeds the valua
tion of last year by over a million dollars.
This year the valuation is $169,105,971 ; In
180S It was $167,810,764.79 , and in 1S97 it
was $165,193,736.42.
The members of the State Board of Trans
portation met this afternoon and considered
the advisability of bringing suit to enforce
an order made several months ago requir
ing the Burlington Railroad company to
put on a passenger train between Neraaha
nnd Falls City for the accommodation of
people living at intermediate points. When
the cage was first "brought " to the attention
of the board It was shown , that the Bur
lington was running only one train per day
over this track , an accommodation or mixed
freight and passenger train. The citizens
of Shubcrt , In Richardson county , pro
tested , alleging that on account of tbo fail
ure of the company to provide better rail
road facilities the ibuslnces Interests of the
town had been damaged , An order was then
Irauod , but was disregarded by the rail
road company. It Is now proposed to insti
tute proceedings against the company to
compel It to do as ordered.
Land Commissioner Wolfe left today to
hold leasing auctions , under section 15 of
the new school law , at the following places :
Scotss Bluff , August 1 , 9 a. m. , 9,000 acres ;

Deputy Insurance Commissioner Bryant
has received a number of communications
from eastern Insurance companies protest
ing against the unnecessary stamping of
agents' certificates issued In his office. To
eatlsfy himself on this point Mr. Bryant

papers and today received the reply that It
was. These certificates each require a ,
10-cent revenue stamp , which must be paid
for by the applicant.

POLITICS QUIET AT FREMONT
PrnNprctn for Hepulillcnn SUOCCNH
Thin Knll In IJodic County
AV'erce er Holler.
FREMONT , Neb. , Juty 31. ( Special. )
This being an off year nnd state nnd county
conventions not being held as early ns they
sometimes have been , political matters are
very quiet. The last /our years have wit
nessed quite a revolution In Dodge county
politics , McKlnley having tarried the countj
in 1895 by 400 votes , a democratic loss of SOO.
Since then , while the fusion state ticket has
carried the county , the republicans have suc
ceeded In electing several county ofilceis
and last fall had both members of the legis
lature.
The democrats are putting forth every
effort to elect a fulf county ticket this fall ,
replacing the three republicans sheriff ,
county clerk and clerk of the district court
with their own party. Complete "harmony"
does not exist between the two wings of
the fusion party here. Some democrats want
to go it alone and there are a very few mid
dle-of-the-road pops , bUt when the conven
tions are held all will probably get Into the
fusion band wagon together.
Before Judge Reese announced that he was
not a candidate for the nomination for supreme
premo Judge the rank nnd fllo of the repub
lican party appeared > to bn almost unani
mous for him. Slnco then there has been
no talk for any particular candidate. One
Judge of the district court is usually con
ceded to this end of the district , and
though Boveral attorneys of this county have
been mentioned none appear as yet to bo
making an active campaign for the nomina
tion. From the west end of the district C. J.
Garlow of Columbus Is In the field. With
the opposition there appears to bo no fixed
opinion on candidate for the supreme Judge.
For district Judge Judge Hollcnbeck , It la
generally conceded , will be renomlnated.
Judge Grlmlson of Schuyler would llko the
other pface , but owing to some opposition in
the western part of the district can't yet
reafl his title clear to a nomination. Judge
Alberta of Columbus may cut some figure In
the convention. The prospects for republican
success In Dodge county were never better.
