Auditorium to, its doors, the certiflcte
knowing that they had labored faithfully
for four years M the Lnlerslty of Ne

f rred The women wore black gowns over
whltn dress!. The male contingent car
ried sllvor-hcarted canes and wore the ma
roon and gold hats adopted as the insignia
of the upper classmen.
Brooks Adams, the commencement
orator, addressed the audience on the
"Philosophy of Constitutional Develop
ment " His remarks were clear cut, forci
ble and eloquent. He traced the develop
ment of the gre.it nations of history, show
ing the different stages In their rise to
commerelal .supremacy.
Mr. .trintiis' Adrtrrse,,
In his opinion, the United States was on
the verge of a great constitutional change
In which legal provisions would be adapted
to meet the changod conditions. In part
Mr Adams said:

With the battle of Manila we entered
upon tne most serious enterprise wnich nny
nation can confront, for on Unit day we be-
tame an active participant In the eternal
struggle for the seat or the world's empire
and the commercial supremacy of mankind.
Moreover onco entered on this struggle

And furthermore, ns no prize is so cllt

to win. for it has usually been purchased
with blood. From Troy to Trafalgar, no
nation has reached the goal in peace. We
see the effect of our success already, but
we cannot escape the common lot. vision

Rome and France fnlled to mnlntnln th

of tho eleventh century the latter reached
her meridian. In n generation It passed

Mr. Adams then gave a detailed narra
tion of England, Germany and France,
Contrary to the example set by the Phoeni
cians the English did not lose their power
of adaptation to circumstances. The
rhoenlclaus lost elasticity of thought and
could not meet changing conditions.
France In 1670 paid the penalty of immo
blllty with the loss of an extensive tract
of territory. Continuing, Mr. Adams said;

Trnsty Uscnpe from 1'rlsnn.
James Bebley, a trusted and hitherto
xemplary convict at the state prison, today
took advantage of the Immunities allowed
him and decamped, taking with him about
50 from the cash drawer In the office of
the depty warden. Despite the vigilant ef
forts being mado for his recapture by the
detectives and local police officers, no trace
f his whereabouts has yet been discovered.
n company with the steward, he came to
the city o purchase supplies and while the
steward was In a grocery store, the con-
let escaped. With him went tuo coin
which the depty warden had allowed the
convict to take from the cash drawer.
Itoynl Iltclilnudrrs Conclude.
At a late hour last noght the state con-
cntlon of the Royal Highlanders con
luded Its labors and adjourned, after
pending forty-eight hours in th commit
tee of the whole discussing changes In the
onstltution and by-laws. Candidates for
dmlsslon must new be less than 4S.
Previous to this time the maximum age
was set at 153. The writing of K00 certifi
cates was discontinued. There will be an
Increase In rates, but policies Issued be
fore the change took place will not be af

Lincoln' Tntnl Vnlnatlon.
When the total valuation of Lincoln
property Is figured up by the assessors It
will be found to be 15 to SO per cent less
than last year. Tho total valuation last
year was $5,120,000. This year the footings
of precinct assessors take a decided slump.
Lincoln depends lor revenue upon the val
uation mado by the new city tax commls-
loner and his deputies. The law under
which his office was created Is challenged
by leading attorneys and quo warranto
proceedings are row hanging fire tn the
supremo court. Should the law be declared
unconstitutional several departments of city
government would be seriously crippled.

tho bar of Nebraska who availed them-
elves of the opportunity of an examination

Ion all but two have been declared suc

HASTINGS. Neb.. June 13. (Special Tel
egram.) Michael Hers, who is one of
Adams county's wealthiest farmers, was
buncoed out of $2,500 yesterday afternoon
by three smooth swindlers.
While Mr. Hess was at home on his farm,
seven milts southwest of Hastings, Satur
day, to well-dressed men droe up to his
place ard told him they ere desirous of
couple of farms In that vicinity. As Mr,
Hess Is the owner of three fine farms he
immediately began showing the men about
his place. They Insisted they wanted an
ther farm close to n quarter section owned
by Mr. Hess and the result was It took
wo or three days to make the deal.
Yesterday afternoon the strangers re
turned to the Hess farm and agreed to buy
the quarttr section. They started for Mr.
Shea's furm to look at it, when they were
met by a stranger, who halted them and
Inquired if they knew where a certain
woman lived whom the stranger claimed
as his long-lost sister. Of course Mr.
Hess did not know of any such person, but
that did not hinder the fellow from ex
plaining that he was from Texas, where
e had made a big stake. He showed up a
stack of bills which he claimed was worth
early $300,000 and he said that all he had
to do was to find his lost sister, give her
half and then spend the rest having a good
time.
prittK HI Little Card (iniue.
He then said that he had stopped at
Omaha on his way here and had been
fleeced out of $5,000 by some fellows with
cards. Seeing that Hess was following his
tory the Texan pulled a pack of cards
out of his pocket and began to illustrate
how the thing was done and at the same
time telling them that they could not pick
tbo monte card, offering $3,500 against
$2,500. The Texan Just at this time turned
his back to cough and one of the would-be
real estate buyers winked at Mr. Hess and
then turned the corner of the card so they
could spot It. The result was that Hess
and one of tho strangers took the bet and
of course both won.
Tbo Texan became angry at first and only
offered to settle with the stranger who
had put up his money, but Hess Insisted
that his word was as good as his bond
and that he had money In the bank. The
fellow who hadn't taken any part in the
play then entered Into the drama and pro
posed that Hess aad the other fellow go
to Hastings and get the money while he
tayed with the Texan.
I)rniTn Money from Ilnnk.
The proposition was immediately accepted
and Mr. Hess came to town, drew $2,500 out
of the German National bank and returned
to where they were waiting for him. As
soon as Hes showed up his $2,500 the fel
low from Texas gave him $3,500 and dc
parted. Mr. Hess and the two would-be
real estate buyers got into their buggy
and started for the Hess farm.
On the way It was proposed by the fel
low who had also made a haul of $3,500
that all the money be put into his satchel,
which he would leave with Mr. Hess until
the farm deal was closed. This was easy,
so all the money was placed In the grip,
When within a mile of home Mr. Hess
got out of the buggy and said be would
walk home, so he was handed the grip and
went bis way rejoicing, while the strangers
drove back to Hastings.
(irlp Full of llricklintR.
It was fully an hour after Mr. Hess re
turned home before he opened the grip, only
to find a few brickbats carefully wrapped
up.
He came to the city and notified the
authorities at once nnd the police and
sheriff are no- working on the caBe.
lnvestlcatlon shows tbat the buccy used
by the btrangers was otiiainea from Hig-
glnbotham's barn in this city and on their
return the swindlers got a fresh team from
the same place and drove to Kcnesaw,
where they secured another livery rig and
drove to Shelton, and all trace of them
was lost.

It will be observed thnt the net In
crease In the assessment against the re-tl
estate of the Cudahy plant In eight years
amounts to Just $1,500. This Is significant
when it is known that within the last four
or five years the Cudahy company has addei
to Its plant a ten-story soap factory, cost
ing about $100,000: a sausage factory, cost
ing about $50,000; Improvements to the
power plant, costing not less than $10,000;
two new reservoirs, new barns and other
buildings. Since 1694 tho Improvements
made at the Cudahy plant represent not
less than $500,000; yet the asiessment that
was $42,000 In 1894 hes grown to only $43,
500 in 1&01.
Armonr' Loiv Vnlnntlnn.
The first real estate assessment against
the completed Armour plant was $4S.000
In 1S99. Last year the assessment was $54,
000 and this year It Is reduced to $52,000,
despite the fact that a new seven-story
cold storage house, costing $250,000, was
added to the plant last year. Other big
improvements have been made at Armour's
since the completion of the original plant.
Tho Swift real estate astessment was
nine years in growing from $37,500 to $40,-
000, although big additions were made to
the plant during that time. This year,
when no particularly havy improvement
has been made, the assessment Jumps from
$40,000 to $75,000. The Swift is the only
packing house in the Third ward of South
Omaha, for which Cornelius O'Brien is
the assessor. Mr. O'Brien has been assessor
for several years, but it has Just occurred
to him that the Swift valuation ought to
be raised.
Tbo realty assessment of the Hammond
plant has been increased Just $400 tn eight
years. The Omaha Packing company's as
sessment Is the same today as It was eight
years ago.
The assessment of the stock yards has
been Increased from $70,000 tn 1S94 to $71,
700 In 1901, the additional $1,700 appar
ently representing Improvements costing
not less than $200,000 during the eight
years. The new Exchange building, alone
representing an Investment of $90,000, was
erected In 1S98, yet the assessment for this
year Is $3,300 less than the assessment for
1S97
The Cudahy, Armour, Omaha and Ham
mond packing houses and the Union stock
yards are located in tho Fourth ward of
South Omaha, for which John Hasburgh
Is the assessor. Mr. Hasburgh Is employed
regularly as the chief of the fire depart
ment of the Cudahy Packing company and
has been with that company for about ten
years.

assessments are ridiculously low." Rnln n
I member of the Board of Counu- rnmmli.
Boners ..but 1 don't know that anything
be done to lncren6e tnem thu ytar,
The troubln Is that whenever we miw of in.
creasing those assessments the packers
threaten to move their plants to some other
city. Of courte we realize that $10,000,090
worth of property cannot be readily moved
and tbat a combined business of $100,000,000
a year Is well worth sticking to. even If
taxes arrf raised, but then no one seems
