(From Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July IS. (Special.) The
- bearing before the Board of Equalisation
en the application of Douglas county for a
red net I fln In Its tax assessment for atata
purpoaea wi completed thla afternoon.
The board tr-ok the natter under advise
ment, promising to give the facta pre
aented careful consideration. An adjourn
ment was taken until tomorrow morning;,
when the work tn other counties will 'be
resumed. Auditor Weston said thla after
noon be thought the asseasment would be
completed before Friday of thla week.
Blda will be opened by the Board of
Public Lands and Buildings tomorrow for
finishing the construction of the adminis
tration building at the penitentiary and for
repairing the west eellhouse. It Is esti
mated that the probable cost of the work,
with the materials necessary, will be be
tween 120,000 and $30,000. There la no
money available for this purpose and If a
contract la granted by the board It will
be with the understanding that the con
tractor will look to the next legislature
tor his remuneration.
The fire early Isat year totally destroyed
the office building of the Institution and
badly damaged the weat eellhouse. With
an appropriation of $75,000 the board baa
purchased a new set of cells for the east
wing, almost completed the administration
building and erected a roof over the west
wing.
The east wing of the Institution ts now
overcrowded and the board hopes to have
the old eellhouse refitted, so that fifty or
more of the convicts may be confined
therein. The members feel that they were
completed, because of the bad sanitary
conditions existing, to attempt the comple
tion of the repairs and reconstruction, not
withstanding the deficiency.
Several contractors Indicated a desire to
take on the work, ao It la not believed
that the lack of funds will prevent the
board's plan from being carried out.
With the money now available the ad
ministration building will be put In condi
tion for occupancy probably by August IS,
but will still lack some much-needed Im
provements. Play Trlek Game Wardea.
' Deputy Oame Warden George L. Carter
of North Platte and Superintendent O'Brien
of the state fish hatcheries at South Bend,
bave been sued by a citlxen of Holt county
for 16,000, for alleged false arrest. They
notified Chief Warden Slmpkln of their
predicament this afternoon and asked tor
legal assistance in fighting the case. The
' trouble arose In a peculiar manner from
' the arrest of a farmer for shooting game
in violation of the law.
Carter and O'Brien have been conducting
a small war against the illicit shooting In
Holt county. Among several persons ar
. rested at different times was a man ac-
rompanled by two women. The officers took
the man Into custody and started with him
back to O'Neill, the county seat, the women
following. As they neared the town one
ef the officers noticed a -man handling a
gun In a auspicious manner In a field half
a mile from, the road. They put the of
fender upon his honor, In the presence of
bis companions, to appear at the house
for trial at o'clock the next morning,
taking his same as a safeguard against
any possible torgetfulness on his part. Then
they started after the other man and placed
blm under arrest.
The Brat offender failed to appear the
V next morning and after waiting several
hours the officers swore out a warrant for
his arrest. The sheriff of the county
served the warrant as directed, ' but It
transpired when this nan waa brought Into
' court that he waa not the one who so
solemnly promised he would voluntarily ap
pear. Later in the day, be began suit for
15,000 damagea, alleging i that he had suf
fered that much humiliation because of the
false arrest that had been made.
Articles of Incorporation of the Fox Land
and Cattle company of Llewellyn, Deuel
county, were recorded In the secretary of
state's office today. The company has a
capital stock of $150,000. Its incorporators
are Benjamin M. Fox and Oacar D. Kip
' ling.
Lewis Falrchtld, a boy of 15, has begun
suit against the Lincoln Traction com
' paoy, asking $10,000 flam.-.ges for alleged
mlstetatment on a street ear. Heclalms he
waa aaaaulted by a conductor In the employ
of the company and ejected from the car,
notwithstanding he was willing and anxious
to pay his tar's.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb., July 27. To the
Editor of The Bee: I notice In today's Bee
mention of a meeting to be called at Lin
coln to formulate a proposition to con
tinue and extend the tenure of specified
offices In the state of Nebraska. A similar
proposition was made in the legislature
of 1897. A lobbyist said to me that he had
got some money to work the scheme and
that I could get some It I wanted it. I
said to him that whatever part I took In
the matter I did not want any money. I
heard no more of IU The sheet-anchor of
American government la the education of
Ita people. That education should be such
that no expert few should ever be able to
exploit the' many. Practical participation
In politics Is the people's school of self
government; continuation or repetition In
office affords opportunity to merge political
influence, makes the people dormant and
Indifferent, and ultimately tends to arbi
trary power. LUCIEN STEBBINS.

was left at' the depot and only by good
foutune and the vociferous shouts of the
crowd did he get the train to stop and
take him along.
At least 200 persons took advantage of
the evening to visit the depot an see
friends and relatives started. It reminded
one of the sailing of an ocean liner, and
the noise of the visitors and the excur
sionists was so great at the preliminaries
attending that starting of the train was
unnoticed until the cars were really In mo
tion. It was said by those at the depot to
be the best trade and pleasure excursion
which ever left Omaha, as it included not
only a majority of the board of governors
of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, but a large
proportion of the beads of Omaha bouses.
The train waa made up of five sleeping
cars, two standard Pullmans and three
tourist cars. The men generally took the
tout 1st cars, 'leaving the standard sleepers
to the men who were accompanied by wo
men, and to the South Omaha party of
twenty-six persons,, who had engaged one
of the standard cars especially for the
members of the Stock Exchange.
Cars Neatly Decorated.
The cars were decorated with Ak-Sar-Ben
colors, banners of that order flying
from the front of each car, while along the
sides were printed streamers bearing ths
words: "Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Pilgrimage,
1902." "Ak-Sar-Ben Carnival, September
24 to October 4." "Orand Parades and
Electric Pageants, October 1 and 2," "South
Omaha Union Stock Tarda Live Stock Ex
change." The ropes which held ths stream
ers In place were covered with paper of the
Ak-Sar-Ben colors. A baggage car had for
the time being been transformed Into a com
missary car and carried not only food, but
samples and advertising matter for the ex
cursionists. Accompanying the excursion was the
Twenty-Second Infantry band. In charge
of Bandmaster Relchart, consisting of
twenty pieces. The band will not only
head the procession of the Omaha men at
Deadwood, but will supply muslo where
stops were made enroute.
The train waa in charge of Conductor
"Cush" Pender and drawn by engine No.
38, In charge of Engineer 8. J. Hlbber. It
will make no stop except tor coal anfl
water until It reachea Long Pine thla morn
ing, about o'clock. Rome Miller, who con
trols the eating houaes along the Elkhorn,
has made especial preparations for the ex
cursionists at Long Pine, where breakfast
will be served, and baa arranged to serve

the route.
