(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. May . (Special.) The Stat
Board of Equalization continued Ita delib
eration today, but the only progress made,
ao far aa can be ascertained from the
members, was the reference of the Omaha
Bridge at Terminal property for assessment
by the Douglas county authorities. The
board sustained the argument advanced by
Secretary Daniels of the company, who In
sisted that Inasmuch as - all of the Ne
braska property of the company was
within Douglas county, the authorities of
that county were the ones who should
fix the valuation and determine Its assess
Blent. ,
"We discussed ' the ' question of whether
or not to take the franchise of the rail
roads Into consideration In determining the
valuation, but arrived at no agreement,'
aid Auditor Weston at the close of the
meeting tonight. "Our session was pro
longed, but It was devoted to a general
discussion. No action was taken other
than that regarding the Omaha Bridge
Terminal company."

(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. Mar 8 (Special.) William
B. Price of this city, lawyer, prominent
fusion worker, part owner of an oil claim
In Texas and formerly a clerk in the audi
tor's office under John F. Cornell, haa
been appointed by Governor Savage to suc
ceed J. Sterling Morton as member of the
Nebraska commission tor the Louisiana
Purchase exposition. The position carries
with it no compensation. Mr. Price this
afternoon received his commission, which
Is gorgeously adorned with colored ribbon
and great aeals, and is now a full-fledged
commissioner, entitled to all the rights
and privileges of the other members.
Mr. Price was one of the leading men
In the free sliver republican fiarty, and
while still a member of that organization
began an active campaign for the fusion
nomination for state auditor. When the
party disbanded Price sought refuge with
the democrats and haa since been allied
with that party.
Aaaeaaora Meat Collect Statistics.
The supreme court this afternoon gave a
decision sustaining the law which requires
county assessors to gather information for
the State Bureau of Labor and Industrial
Statistics. The act was attacked on two
grounds, one allegation being that It waa
unconstitutional, because it Imposed addi
tional dutiea on the assessors without pro
viding for additional compensation, and the
other being that there were errora in the
title of the bill. The suit waa In the nature
of mandamus proceedings, directed against
Lawrence Ekew of Lancaster county, an
assessor, to compel him to comply with the
law. The opinion was written by Judge
Hastings, who said:
"It is no objection to the 'validity of a
statute Imposing an additional duty on
assessors that no special provision for
their compensation is made.
"The act of 1887." imposing the duties of
labor commissioner on the governor of the
state and providing for the appointment
of a special deputy to assist In discharging
them, Is not in violation of section 26,
article v of the state constitution.
"The amendatory act of 1897 to eectlons
2066 and 2068 of Cobbey'e consolidated
statutes, requiring assessors to procure cer
tain labor statistics, is germane to the pro
visions of the original act and to the re
quirement of the original section."
According to thla decision of the court, it
will be necessary for the assessors through
out the state to gather statistical Informa
tion regarding agriculture, labor and in
dustry in general. The county may employ
1 additional men to do the extra work, but
the work in some way must be done.

the lower court Mr. Porter scored a victory,
on much the same grounds as did Mr.
Meserve In the embeszlemeat case in the
district court of Douglas county. Shorn of
Its legal phraseology and reduced to ita real
meaning the holding of the court la the
rase waa that Mr. Porter had no right to
take the money, but having taken it bad a
right to keep it, even though claimed by the
state.
The feea taken by Mr. Porter amounted to
about $1,000. He did not deny having ac
cepted the money, but declared that he bad
a right to it, and meant to keep it.
Klllinc Plaeea at Mllford. Home.
Governor Savage is having considerable
trouble straightening out the affairs of the
Woman's Industrial home at Mllford. It
all originated from the removal of Mrs.
Amanda Edwards from the position of su
perintendent of the lastltutioa. Mrs. Ed

tnendattoo of the visiting and advlaory

tlcularly active in Mrs. Edwards' behalf
; aaa Mrs. a. J. Bewjrsr this city, waa kss
for seversl years taken a lesdlng Interest
In the management and wrtrk of the home
In Mllford. The pressure in favor ot re
moval, however, waa stronger than the
support of the woman and Mrs. Kaeley of
Hastings was appointed as the successor.
The change took place May 1 and about
that time four or five officials of the home
who had seen several yeans of service with
Mrs. Edwards tendered their resignations
snd promptly quit work. Recruit for tern,
porary employment were sent from Lin
coln and under the dlrectton of Private
Secretary Clancy the machinery of the
Institution was again put In operation. One
ot the vacant positions, that of matron, was
