The Bgnres above presented are carefully compiled from reports of the state auditor, the bulletins Issued by authority of the railroads and the reports to their stockholders published within the past year. These documents afford conclusive proof that the aggregsto true value of railroads in Nebraska based on net earning after deducting operating expenses, betterments and taxes paid, exceeds $312,000,000. An inspection of the. table herewith prerented shows just how much each county has lost by gradual reduction of the railroad assessment within the past ten years, the aggregate apportionment of railroad assessments to each county for the year 1902 and what the aggregate assessment should be If the railroads were assessed at ons-slxth of their valus based on net earnings. The appraisement of railroads that hava not reported net earnings, which constitute less than one-slxtU of tho entire railroad mileage In the state, Is based upon the value of their tangible property.

PRESENTS FRAUDULENT HEIR Austrian C'onateas Is Accused f Palmlnsr Off Waif as Iter Own Son. BERLIN, Jan. 30. The Countess Isabella Welslernka Kwlleckl, who has again been arrested, charged with pretending to have borne a son six years ago and presenting him as the heir to an estate at Wroblea-o, province of Tosen, is 57 years of age and white haired, though atlll an animated, brilliant woman. Sim was 61 when the child was born, and had three daughters. It ia alleged that the countess seemingly had two ladles of high rank as accom plices. These, whose names have not been disclosed, are said to have produced the illegitimate son of the daughter of a rail road watchman In Austria, and at the proper moment to have brought the baby to the countess' apartments here. They went, It ta asserted, from tho railroad sta tion in a cab, gave the driver a gold pieye aa a gratuity and entered the house, one of them carrying the baby done up In shawl straps with a breathing space cut In the bottom of the bundle. The child, it Ib further claimed, was probably drugged, and was apparently kept two days In the house before Its birth was announced. The servants of the countess, it seems, did not even know of the pres ence of the child. Those nearest to the countess took the birth In good faith, the old Count Wolsier aka, who was In fragile health, and who was In Italy at the lime, telegraphing to the family doctor at Posen to go to Berlin and assist In taking care of the mother and child. The doctor came to this city, but the countess would not see him, and sent tho doctors word that she had every necessary attention. When th legitimacy of the child was first contested, the countess averred that she had the services of a midwife from Warsaw, who had since died.
