By averaging these two determinatlona, it would make the railroad valuation In the atate of Nrbranka $,610, Instead of 4,679, and It Is evident that on a comparison of valuea of taxes In Missouri and Nebraska, the railroads of Nebraska have been as sessed for $1,169 more per mile than they should be. In other words, the railroads have been paying 25 per cent more taa for the past ten years than they should havi paid, were the railroads located in the state of Missouri.

Man haa harnessed tha lightning and Niagara,' haa exhumed the 'villainoua saltpeter,' combined It Into- des perate explosives and says behold my power. What a glorification there waa tu New Tork in 1876, when Hell Oat waa blasted. It was tha perilous ridge ot aharp rocks In the Eaat river, between Manhattan and Long island. Several years war re quired to prepare the mines. It cost an enormoua aum. The place waa tunneled and 4,600 holes, each nine feet deep and three and a half inchea In diameter, were drilled In the roof, bottom and aldea of tba tunnel. To load them all required twenty six tons of dynamite. AH were connected with a battery. Tha tunnel waa filled with water. All waa touched off. It waa a great aucceaa. Sheeta of water and rock flaw mightily," Several hundred feat of rock waa cleared away. Shlpa have paaaed there ever atnea In perfect safety. Houses a block away were hardly shaken. Compare thla marvel of power and boaat of man to Pelea laat month, or Lisbon In 1756, and It ta only a toy play by children. ML Pelea had omin ous rumblings- Ex-Mayor Clerc, tba mil lionaire, warned hla friends, hastened away with hla family. An hour later tha erup tion. In three minute tha atream had rushed from tha crater to th aaa, five miles, and 40,000 people were dead. Tha shock at Lisbon In 17ES waa felt In Canada and Fin land, thousands of miles apart. It killed 60,000 people. Such are tha power In tha earth. Our earth la but very amall In the aolar system. The aun la 1,200,000 tlmea larger. There are two smaller, five much larger planets and S00 planetoids In eur system. All these are but a very amall part of the universe. God guides and movea all with perfect precision. None ever variea a minute. The whole la bewildering to the Imagination. "Thla Almighty God la ours. Well may we aay: 'What la man, that thou art mind ful of hm? Who la ao great aa our God.' St. Pierre and Lisbon are but a little out play of Hla power on earth itself only one atone In Hla creation. Happily, we weak mortals. He aaya: 'I am your Father; ye My aona and daughters. I love you and care for you.' We are the klng'a children."
